B A Bright Idea Evans Wadongo was from a village of Africa. He had to do homework by the light of a kerosene lamp (煤油灯). Evansˈ eyes hurt and this made studying difficult. It was common in his village. Many children left school for this reason... so they remained poor for the rest of their lives. Although studying was difficult, Evans was an excellent student and went to a university. He continued to worry about the kerosene lamp. By this time, he realized it was not just bad for schoolchildren but for the whole family. First, it can cause illnesses such as coughs. Also, the light can hurt peopleˈs eyes. Besides, it can lead to fires. Lastly, kerosene is expensive, so families have less money for food. It was difficult to come up with a different kind of lamp that was cheap and good for the environment. Yet Evans did not give up. One day, he had an idea. He could use a small solar (太阳能的) light. Sunlight is free and solar power is good for the environment. Evans built his first solar lamp, and it worked. He began to build more lamps and sent them to local families. An organization heard about this and provided money for him to build more solar lamps. Each lamp only cost $20. However, this was a lot of money to many villagers who only earned around $34 a week, so Evans made sure he kept the cost down. First, Evans used recycled materials. Next, volunteers built the lamps. Finally, people from many countries gave away money to his team, so the lamps were usually free. Thousands of people had safe light. Julia, a mother of three, said, "Thanks to Evans, my children have light to read, and I have my own light to cook." The solar lamps made a big difference. 36.What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Leaving school. B. Doing homework. C. Having eye problems. D. Having a bright idea. 37.How many problems about kerosene lamps are mentioned according to Paragraph 2? A. 6. B. 5. C. 4. D. 3. 38.Put the following information into correct order according to the passage. a．Evans went to a university. b．Thousands of people had safe light. c．Evans’ first solar lamp was invented. d．Kerosene lamps hurt Evans’ eyes. e．Recycled materials were used in the lamps. f．People from many countries gave away money. A. dacefb B. dfbaec C. adfecb D. aecdfb 39.Why does the writer give Julia’s example in Paragraph 5? A. To share Julia’s experience. B. To show Evans’ influence. C. To describe Evans’ feelings. D. To introduce Evans’ invention. 40.What is Evans like according to the passage? A. Polite, talented and humorous. B. Quiet, smart and honest. C. Humorous, clever and friendly. D. Hard-working, loving and creative. C How did people tell the time before clocks were invented? At first, the ancient people looked up at the sun and could tell it was the middle of the day when the sun was directly overhead in the sky. They also knew when it was morning or evening. Later, the Egyptians used sticks. These sticks measured (测量) time during the day. The sun shone on the tall stick and the stick made a shadow (阴影). As the sun moved across the sky, the position (位置) of the shadow changed. This would let people tell what time it was. Over time, the Chinese first used sundials instead of shadow sticks. The sundial has a type of shadow stick on it. As the sun shines on it, a shadow appears on the numbers. Each number stands for an hour of the day. But sundials donˈt work at night or on a cloudy day! There are no shadows unless the sun is out. Water clocks used water to measure time at night. Water dripped (滴落) slowly from one bowl into another. The level of the water in the bowls slowed the time. People also used sand glasses. You may have seen one. Some games still use sand glasses. The sand falls from the top of the sand glass to the bottom. It measures short amounts of the time. The more sand falls, the more time has passed. When the sand has finished falling, you have to turn the second glass over. 41.At first, the ancient people told the time by looking at ________. A. the stick B. the shadow C. the sun D. the moon 42.Which picture can be a "sundial"? A. B. C. D. 43.Sundi ls can be used to tell the time when it is ________. A. sunny B. rainy C. cloudy D. snowy 44.Which of the following is right according to the passage? A. Sticks measured time in Egypt day and night. B. Sundials were first used in ancient Egypt. C. Sand glasses usually measure a long time. D. The water clock showed the time by the water level in the bowls. 45.What’s the main idea of the passage? A. Something about sundials. B. How to tell the time by looking at the sun. C. How to tell the time in the past. D. Some inventions in China. D Energy is the ability to do work. Solar energy comes from the sun. There is also energy that comes from wind and water. But do you know that energy can come from people, too? When you pedal a bike, you produce energy. You use your legs to push the pedals. Your energy is transferred (转移) to the bike. That makes the bike move. Now imagine riding your bike to create enough power to run a computer. Some students at one school did just that! They jumped on bikes connected to generators (发电机) and pedaled in place. Soon they were producing electricity. This energy is needed to run their computers. Here is how bicycle-powered energy works. When a student pedals the bike, the back wheel spins. The wheel spins the generator. The generator produces electricity. As long as a student pedals the bicycle, electricity moves through the generator. The electricity can be used right away. This energy can also be stored and used later. People use bicycle-powered energy to run small devices (设备) such as small televisions and fans. They often use less than 100 watts per hour. However, it would be a mistake to use pedal power to run a fridge. This large machine often uses more than 700 watts per hour. The electricity for these machines comes from power lines overhead or underground. Pedal power can be seen in schools, gyms, and homes. What a fun way to provide electricity! 46.How does the writer lead into the topic "bicycle-powered energy" in Paragraph 2? A. By asking a question. B. By telling a joke. C. By using an old saying. D. By making a survey. 47.What does the underlined word "spins" in Paragraph 4 mean in the text? A. Falls down suddenly. B. Breaks up completely. C. Moves up and down slowly. D. Turns round and round quickly. 48.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A. The future of new energy. B. The forms of world’s energy. C. Using bicycle-powered energy. D. Producing bicycle-powered energy. 49.What do we know about bicycle-powered energy? A. It can’t be seen in schools. B. It comes from wind and water. C. It can be stored and used later. D. It’s from power lines overhead. 50.In which unit of a textbook can the text be found? A. Unit 1 Friends Forever B. Unit 2 Dream of the Stars C. Unit 3 The Value of Money D. Unit 4 The World of Science 四、短文选词填空（共10小题；每小题1分，共10分） 阅读短文，从方框中选择适当的词并用其正确形式填空，使短文通顺、意思完整。每空限填一词，每词限用一次。 Asian  popular  daily  large  trader  natural  pleasure  buy  smell  succeed Most people have never seen white strawberries, but their      (51)      has risen rapidly in Japan in the past years. Actually, the      (52)     country has several kinds of white strawberries, and the White Jewel strawberry is one of them. A Japanese     (53)      called Yasuhito Teshima created White Jewel strawberries several years ago. His farm is the only one in the world that produces this special fruit.      (54)      never comes easy. Teshima said he spent years trying to grow a special kind of strawberry that is white both on the inside and the outside. One of the secrets is to cut down their exposure (暴露) to the sunshine. But Teshima said the technology was not very satisfying so far. Only a small percentage of his strawberries turn out white. However, the White Jewel is the      (55)     in size of all the kinds of white strawberries in Japan. White Jewel strawberries arenˈt easily seen in our      (56)      lives, so they are sold at a high price. John Daub once got a chance (机会) to try the White Jewel while visiting Teshimaˈs farm. He said, "It gives me great      (57)      to visit the farm. The White Jewel      (58)      very pleasant. Its skin (皮) is very soft. Its taste is very sweet, just like candy, but unlike candy, the      (59)      sugars stay in your mouth and leave a fresh aftertaste." In Japanese culture, valuable fruit like the White Jewel is      (60)     as a special gift more often, rather than just as a sweet snack. 五、阅读填空（共10小题；每小题1分，共10分） 阅读短文，填入恰当单词或按括号内所给单词的适当形式填空，使短文通顺、意思完整。 Last summer, Jason and I went on vacation to Hawaii.

Evansˈ eyes hurt and this made studying difficult. It was common in his village. Many children left school for this reason... so they remained poor for the rest of their lives. Although studying was difficult, Evans was an excellent student and went to a university. He continued to worry about the kerosene lamp. By this time, he realized it was not just bad for schoolchildren but for the whole family. First, it can cause illnesses such as coughs. Also, the light can hurt peopleˈs eyes. Besides, it can lead to fires. Lastly, kerosene is expensive, so families have less money for food. It was difficult to come up with a different kind of lamp that was cheap and good for the environment. Yet Evans did not give up. One day, he had an idea. He could use a small solar (太阳能的) light. Sunlight is free and solar power is good for the environment. Evans built his first solar lamp, and it worked. He began to build more lamps and sent them to local families. An organization heard about this and provided money for him to build more solar lamps. Each lamp only cost $20. However, this was a lot of money to many villagers who only earned around $34 a week, so Evans made sure he kept the cost down. First, Evans used recycled materials. Next, volunteers built the lamps. Finally, people from many countries gave away money to his team, so the lamps were usually free. Thousands of people had safe light. Julia, a mother of three, said, "Thanks to Evans, my children have light to read, and I have my own light to cook." The solar lamps made a big difference. 36.What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Leaving school. B. Doing homework. C. Having eye problems. D. Having a bright idea. 37.How many problems about kerosene lamps are mentioned according to Paragraph 2? A. 6. B. 5. C. 4. D. 3. 38.Put the following information into correct order according to the passage. a．Evans went to a university. b．Thousands of people had safe light. c．Evans’ first solar lamp was invented. d．Kerosene lamps hurt Evans’ eyes. e．Recycled materials were used in the lamps. f．People from many countries gave away money. A. dacefb B. dfbaec C. adfecb D. aecdfb 39.Why does the writer give Julia’s example in Paragraph 5? A. To share Julia’s experience. B. To show Evans’ influence. C. To describe Evans’ feelings. D. To introduce Evans’ invention. 40.What is Evans like according to the passage? A. Polite, talented and humorous. B. Quiet, smart and honest. C. Humorous, clever and friendly. D. Hard-working, loving and creative. 【答案】C、C、A、B、D 【解析】略 C How did people tell the time before clocks were invented? At first, the ancient people looked up at the sun and could tell it was the middle of the day when the sun was directly overhead in the sky. They also knew when it was morning or evening. Later, the Egyptians used sticks. These sticks measured (测量) time during the day. The sun shone on the tall stick and the stick made a shadow (阴影). As the sun moved across the sky, the position (位置) of the shadow changed. This would let people tell what time it was. Over time, the Chinese first used sundials instead of shadow sticks. The sundial has a type of shadow stick on it. As the sun shines on it, a shadow appears on the numbers. Each number stands for an hour of the day. But sundials donˈt work at night or on a cloudy day! There are no shadows unless the sun is out. Water clocks used water to measure time at night. Water dripped (滴落) slowly from one bowl into another. The level of the water in the bowls slowed the time. People also used sand glasses. You may have seen one. Some games still use sand glasses. The sand falls from the top of the sand glass to the bottom. It measures short amounts of the time. The more sand falls, the more time has passed. When the sand has finished falling, you have to turn the second glass over. 41.At first, the ancient people told the time by looking at ________. A. the stick B. the shadow C. the sun D. the moon 42.Which picture can be a "sundial"? A. B. C. D. 43.Sundi ls can be used to tell the time when it is ________. A. sunny B. rainy C. cloudy D. snowy 44.Which of the following is right according to the passage? A. Sticks measured time in Egypt day and night. B. Sundials were first used in ancient Egypt. C. Sand glasses usually measure a long time. D. The water clock showed the time by the water level in the bowls. 45.What’s the main idea of the passage? A. Something about sundials. B. How to tell the time by looking at the sun. C. How to tell the time in the past. D. Some inventions in China. 【答案】C、B、A、D、C 【解析】略 D Energy is the ability to do work. Solar energy comes from the sun. There is also energy that comes from wind and water. But do you know that energy can come from people, too? When you pedal a bike, you produce energy. You use your legs to push the pedals. Your energy is transferred (转移) to the bike. That makes the bike move. Now imagine riding your bike to create enough power to run a computer. Some students at one school did just that! They jumped on bikes connected to generators (发电机) and pedaled in place. Soon they were producing electricity. This energy is needed to run their computers. Here is how bicycle-powered energy works. When a student pedals the bike, the back wheel spins. The wheel spins the generator. The generator produces electricity. As long as a student pedals the bicycle, electricity moves through the generator. The electricity can be used right away. This energy can also be stored and used later. People use bicycle-powered energy to run small devices (设备) such as small televisions and fans. They often use less than 100 watts per hour. However, it would be a mistake to use pedal power to run a fridge. This large machine often uses more than 700 watts per hour. The electricity for these machines comes from power lines overhead or underground. Pedal power can be seen in schools, gyms, and homes. What a fun way to provide electricity! 46.How does the writer lead into the topic "bicycle-powered energy" in Paragraph 2? A. By asking a question. B. By telling a joke. C. By using an old saying. D. By making a survey. 47.What does the underlined word "spins" in Paragraph 4 mean in the text? A. Falls down suddenly. B. Breaks up completely. C. Moves up and down slowly. D. Turns round and round quickly. 48.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A. The future of new energy. B. The forms of world’s energy. C. Using bicycle-powered energy. D. Producing bicycle-powered energy. 49.What do we know about bicycle-powered energy? A. It can’t be seen in schools. B. It comes from wind and water. C. It can be stored and used later. D. It’s from power lines overhead. 50.In which unit of a textbook can the text be found? A. Unit 1 Friends Forever B. Unit 2 Dream of the Stars C. Unit 3 The Value of Money D.

Actually, the      (52)     country has several kinds of white strawberries, and the White Jewel strawberry is one of them. A Japanese     (53)      called Yasuhito Teshima created White Jewel strawberries several years ago. His farm is the only one in the world that produces this special fruit.      (54)      never comes easy. Teshima said he spent years trying to grow a special kind of strawberry that is white both on the inside and the outside. One of the secrets is to cut down their exposure (暴露) to the sunshine. But Teshima said the technology was not very satisfying so far. Only a small percentage of his strawberries turn out white. However, the White Jewel is the      (55)     in size of all the kinds of white strawberries in Japan. White Jewel strawberries arenˈt easily seen in our      (56)      lives, so they are sold at a high price. John Daub once got a chance (机会) to try the White Jewel while visiting Teshimaˈs farm. He said, "It gives me great      (57)      to visit the farm. The White Jewel      (58)      very pleasant. Its skin (皮) is very soft. Its taste is very sweet, just like candy, but unlike candy, the      (59)      sugars stay in your mouth and leave a fresh aftertaste." In Japanese culture, valuable fruit like the White Jewel is      (60)     as a special gift more often, rather than just as a sweet snack. 【答案】【小题51】 popularity 【小题52】 Asian 【小题53】 trader 【小题54】 Success 【小题55】 largest 【小题56】 daily 【小题57】 pleasure 【小题58】 smells 【小题59】 natural 【小题60】 bought 【解析】 略 五、阅读填空（共10小题；每小题1分，共10分） 阅读短文，填入恰当单词或按括号内所给单词的适当形式填空，使短文通顺、意思完整。 Last summer, Jason and I went on vacation to Hawaii.

They are of great importance in our lives, but sometimes they do no good to us. When I was in Grade Seven, I began to play games on my phone. The games were interesting and I felt kind of relaxed when playing. However, something bad happened. Gradually, I found that it was getting more and more difficult for me to pay attention in class. And since I seldom played sports with friends, I got heavier and heavier. Finally, I realized that no matter what great invention the phone is, I shouldn't let it influence my schoolwork and health. So I decided to break the bad habit. Though the phone is a great invention, we shouldn't spend too much time on it. 答案第10页，共10页 ( 1 )原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
