Baking Soda and Vinegar Balloon Experiment balloon baking soda bottle vinegar baking vinegar soda What you need ★Balloon ★About40 ml of water ★Soft drink bottle ★Vinegar *A teaspoon of baking soda Instructions Before you begin,make sure that you pull the balloon long to make it as easy as possible to blow up. *Put 40 ml of water into the soft drink bottle. Add the baking soda and mix it with water. *Put the vinegar in and quickly put the balloon over the mouth of the bottle. What's happening? If all goes well,then your balloon should inflate!Adding the vinegar to the baking soda creates a chemical reaction.The baking soda is a base(f碱)，while the vinegar is an acid(酸). When the two combine,they create CO2.The gas rises up and escapes through the soft drink bottle.However,it doesn't escape the balloon,pushing it outwards and blowing it up. )17.What does the baking soda and vinegar reaction give off?

B Everybody has a brain,but not many people know how the brain works.Some people believe that the brain is like the hard disk of a computer.We use it to store files-pictures,language words,texts,sounds)and so on.Others compare the brain to a huge cupboard with lots of shelves and boxes in it.We put information into these boxes and hope to find it again later. The brain is not a computer disk,and it isn't a cupboard,either.Look at the picture here.It looks a bit like weeds(杂草)ina garden,doesn't it?The picture actually shows a child's neocortex( 脑皮层)a part of the brain that controls sight and hearing.You can guess what happens-more "weeds"grow as the child gets older. Scientists call these neuronal networks(神经元网络).The networks grow around our neurons.What makes them grow?Learning! "Learning makes the brain change,"says Professor James Zull from Case Western University in Cleveland,Ohio,the USA."Without learning,nothing changes in the brain.For every new word you learn in your English lesson,every problem you solve in math,every new song you learn to sing,a neuronal network grows in your brain and the brain changes.” The more neuronal networks we have,the better we can think and the better we remember.You may wonder if there is anything you can do to make the networks in your brain grow better.Professor Zull says,"Yes,there is.He says that brain change is the strongest when you are interested in and like what you are learning,when you are in control of what you learn and when you get challenging tasks that make you think hard.Understanding a challenging task makes you feel good and develops your brain. ()21.What's the main idea of the first paragraph? A.The brain-a fantastic computer. B.How to make your brain stronger.

A.Learning Makes the Brain Change B.Meeting Life's Challenges C.Never Too Late to Learn C Animal behavior is an interesting and attractive study.Scientists research the ways animals use to look for food.They study how animals protect themselves from their predators,and which animals kill other animals for food.All of this helps us understand how useful animals can be. Each country or culture raises some animals for food.In the United States,people mainly eat meat from cows and chickens.In other countries,people might raise sheep or buffalo for meat. These differences come in part from the weather and other environmental conditions.People around the world eat all kinds of fish and shellfish from oceans and rivers. In West Africa,animals provide humans with more than food.They have been helping people do daily work for thousands of years.Horses,oxen,and other work animals pull heavy things. Elephants,camels,and other animals carry people and things from place to place.Carrier pigeons (have been used to send messages. People also receive health benefits(利益）from animals..For example,dogs and cats can help calm people down.This is helpful for people fighting illnesses.Animals can also reduce stress,helping people to draw their attention to learning new information,such as reading.When people are walking their dogs or horses,it encourages exercise. Animals and humans share space on the earth,so keeping a healthy relationship with animals around us is in our best interests.

In Africa,large animals,like elephants and zebras,migrate to find food and water.They usually follow the same ways every year.29. They are usually birds that eat insects.They spend the summer in northern Europe,because there are lots of insects there.In winter there aren't any insects,so the birds fly south to southern Europe and Africa. 30. In North America,millions of monarch butterflies fly south to spend the winter in Mexico,California and Florida,where it's warmer.They travel 50-65 km each day and they travel about 1,125km. Some fish migrate to breed.Salmon()can swim over 20,000 km in their life.They are born in rivers in Ireland, Scotland and other places in northern Europe.The young fish swim down the river to the sea and into the Atlantic Ocean. 31. Then they return to the river where they were born. They lay their eggs in the river and then they usually die.Salmon do this,because their eggs are safer in the river.32. Arctic terns(北极燕鸥)travel the furthest when they migrate.They spend the summer in the Arctic,but when winter comes they fly to the Antarctic,because it's summer there. 33. In one year these small birds travel 36,000 km from one end of the earth to the other and back again.Nobody knows how they do it. A.Some insects migrate,too. B.Other fish can't eat them. C.Different kinds of animals live on the earth. D.They live in the ocean until they are adults. E.Next year they fly back to the Arctic again. F.A lot of birds migrate to find food and better weather,too. 第三节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，根据其内容填空和回答问题。(34至37题每题 答案不超过3个单词，38题须用完整句子回答。) Every student can manage time to get more knowledge at school.However,how can you manage 24h your time more efficiently(有效地)to study well? Well,you can arrange()for time each day to read over notes.You needn't study each of your subjects every day,but studying something every day will help you study better.Take notes as you study,so you can use those notes to save your study time later. Even though studying is important,it doesn't need to control your time.After-school activities are an important part of school life for many students.The efforts to study don't mean you have to give up these activities.Instead,you need to find your personal balance between study time and extra activities.For example,if you play on the baseball team and work on the school paper,you may find that two activities are too much,and that you don't have enough time to study and take part in these activities.If this is the case,you need to prioritize(优先考虑)and choose just one activity.Therefore,you'll have time to study. As you get closer to graduation,it becomes easier to think that class attendance isn't important,especially later in college. Other activities,such as hanging out with friends and even working,can seem more important.However,class time is the time when you can ask questions and learn more about the material.Attending your classes regularly(经常地)makes you get more information and helps you get better grades. Any spare time you have during the day can be used for studying.For example,if you take a bus,use that time to read over your notes,or read your text.Any time in which you would just sit and wait is a good time to work on schoolwork,so you can master what you have learnt.However,you need to learn to balance schoolwork and relaxation time,so you don't burn out. 34.The passage mainly talks about how to to study well. 35.From Paragraph 2,we can know that while studying can help us save our study time. 36.The writer tells us that we should balance and after-school activities in Paragraph 3. 37.For class attendance,we shouldn't from classes because of other activities. 38.How can we manage our spare time?Give one example. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分15分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 根据中文意思，补全英语译文。（每空限填一词，缩写算一词） 39.我决定跟杰克视频聊天而不是给他发语音信息。 I decide to have a video chat with Jack send him a voice message. 40.尽管有将近500人在看书，但整个图书馆寂静无声。 The whole library was in silence there were nearly 500 people reading in it. 41.1920年，世界上第一个三色交通灯被投入使用。 In 1920,the world's first three-color traffic light to use. 42.因为六盘水的夏天既不冷也不热，所以许多游客来这里游玩。 Many tourists visit Liupanshui in summer because it's too cold too hot then. 43.科学家已经发现植物之间一直相互对话。 Scientists that plants talk to each other all the time. 第二节（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的词或括号内单词的正 确形式。 About two years ago,I was at a stop sign when I heard weak sounds.They just came 44.inside a car parked on the street next to me.I found a little dog in the car.It was making 45. effort to get some of the cooler fresh air outside the car.And it looked really 46. comfortable )Without thinking,I rushed to help him.The car was 47.
