You can make use of the CO2 produced by a baking soda and lemon juice reaction to blow up your balloon! What you’ll need: Balloon About 40 ml of water (a cup is about 250 ml so you don’t need much) Soft drink bottle Juice from a lemon 1 spoon 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. Pour the 40 ml of water into the soft drink bottle. Add the baking soda and mix it with water. Quickly put the balloon over the mouth of the bottle after you put the lemon juice in. What’s happening? Adding the lemon juice to the baking soda creates a chemical reaction and produces CO2. It rises up and escapes through the soft drink bottle. However, it doesn’t escape from the balloon. It pushes your balloon outwards and blows it up. Then, the balloon can be inflated and you make it! 11. What should you do before doing the experiment? A. Drink some juice. B. Blow up the balloon. C.

It seems challenging, but it could be easier if you are a good English speaker. The two languages have a lot more in common than you think. The Swedish alphabet is almost the same as the English alphabet, but has three more letters: Å, Ä and Ö. Although some letters, like O and Ö look alike, they are actually different. Take the Swedish words “lov” and “löv” as an example. The word “lov” can refer to holidays while “löv” translates to “leaves”. Many words are close in Swedish and English. “Bok” in Swedish is only a one-letter change to “book”; “äpple” is an easy change to “apple” and “man” and “piano” are the same in both languages. However, there are special suffixes, such as “-en” and “-t”, to stand for “the” in English. For example, “boken” in Swedish means “the book” in English. Another similarity is the word order. It’s often possible to directly translate sentences between the two languages. One big difference is that Swedish always puts the verb in the second place of a sentence. Although in English sentences, words like “always” or “hardly” often appear in the second place, Swedish is very strict about that verb-second rule and will put them after the verb. There are many reasons that make Swedish hard, but with your English learning experience, you'll find it easier. 16. Which sign below is written in Swedish? A. B. C. D. 17. How does the writer develop his idea in Paragraph 2? A. By explaining the results. B. By raising questions. C. By comparing differences. D. By listing numbers. 18. According to the passage, what is the meaning of the Swedish word “pianot”? A. Piano. B. Pianos. C. A piano. D. The piano. 19. To say “I always eat apples” in Swedish, which of the following shows the right way to place the verb “äter (eat)”? A. B. C. D. 20. Why does the writer write the passage? A. To introduce the history of Swedish. B. To show Swedish is not so difficult to learn. C. To tell the writer’s own Swedish learning experience. D. To explain the difference between English and Swedish. Ⅳ. 任务型阅读（33~35小题，每小题2分；36小题3分，共9分） Tim Berners-Lee is not the most famous inventor in the world. However, his invention has changed our lives. In 2017, he won the Turing Award (图灵奖) for inventing the World Wide Web. Tim was born in London, England in 1955. When he was a small boy, Tim was interested in playing with electrical things. He studied science at Oxford University. And then he made his first computer from an old television at the age of 21. Tim started working on early computers after he finished college. He worked in England and then Switzerland. Tim was really interested in two things, computers and how the brain works. How could the brain connect so many facts so quickly? He had to work with people all over the world. They shared information about computers. It was hard to manage all the information. He answered the same questions again and again. It took a lot of time. It was even difficult for computers in the same office in Switzerland to share information. Could a computer work like a brain? Could it “talk” to other computers? There was an Internet already but it was difficult to use. In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web (WWW) all by himself. This had a special language that helped computers talk to each other on the Internet. When people wanted to share information with others, they used the World Wide Web. The Internet grew quickly after that. Tim Berners-Lee doesn’t think he did anything special. He says that all of the ideas about the Internet were already there. All he did was to put them together. He says that many other people worked together to make the Internet what it is today. Most inventors want to become rich. But Tim gave away the World Wide Web for nothing. He now works in America. Maybe he is the most important but least famous inventor in the world today! 21. Did Tim Berners-Lee invent the internet in 1989? ________________________________________________ 22. How did Tim make his first computer? ________________________________________________ 23. Why do we call Tim “the most important but least famous inventor in the world today”? ________________________________________________ 24. Do you think inventors should sell their inventions or give them away? Why? ________________________________________________ Ⅴ. 用所给词的正确形式填空。（每空1分，共6分） 25.

But why ask? If I can’t answer, I won’t. What could be simpler? I’ve never liked texting. I can’t type quickly with my thumbs. I fear texts for things such as meeting for coffee. By round five I call, deciding our final plan in seconds. The real reason I dislike texting with friends is that I need to hear their voices. It’s what keeps them close no matter how often I see them. I am lucky that one of my oldest friendships was developed before texting. Susan and I were 12 when we met, roommates in summer camp. Sharing a love for music and sports, we made friends at once. We talked and laughed into the night. It felt like we had known each other forever. We didn’t live in the same neighbourhood or attend the same schools. But on Saturday nights, we talked on the phone, picking up the threads of our friendship. Phone calls kept our friendship alive when geography separated us as adults. We phone less often now that we can text. But there’s usually more to our texts than meets the eye (表面上的). After talking for so many years, we can feel the emotions behind our quickly typed texts. I can hear Susan’s voice in my head. And she can hear mine. Still, it’s not the same. We phone when only talking will do. When making simple plans with friends, I often call even if texting is their default mode (默认模式) of communication. The worst that could happen is they won’t pick up. But if they do, their voice can fill the simplest plan with humor and warmth. Even a brief call develops familiarity and connection, speeding up our friendship. My preference for calling over texting ____35____. ★I’m not good at typing on my phone. ★I need to hear my friends’ voices to feel ____36____ to them. ★I find it quicker to decide on plans over the phone than through texting. An ____37____: my friendship with Susan. ★We were 12 when we first met at the summer camp. ★We made friends quickly due to our ____38____ interests, talking and laughing into the night as if we had known each other for a lifetime. ★Despite living in different neighborhoods and attending different schools, we kept our friendship alive through phone calls. ★Now we text more, but we can still feel each other’s emotions in our texts because we have ____39____ so many years. Conclusion ★When making plans with friends, I prefer calling over texting because I believe it develops familiarity and connection with them. Their voices can add ____40____ and warmth to any plan.

Now the instrument is used in traditional Chinese orchestras, and is ____45____ (surprise) popular at carnivals in Cuba - the Caribbean island nation over 13,000 kilometers ____46____ from China.
