三、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30分）

请阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的四个选项中选出能回答所提问题的最佳答案。

A

1. You climb up the slide and sit down. You are ready to go. Are you sliding down? No, not yet. Things stay still (静止) unless something makes them move. It is Newton’s first law. So you have to give yourself a push to start the journey down. 2. Now you are sliding down. Do you feel you are slowing down a bit? When two things rub against each other, they cause friction (摩擦力). Without friction, you will slide down faster and faster to the bottom. 3. At the bottom of the slide, you come to a full stop. Your feet touch the ground and add extra(额外) friction. Newton’s first law also says moving things keep moving unless something makes them stop. So, if you do not use your feet, you’ll fly off the slide.

Isaac Newton said what goes up must come down. He was talking about gravity (重力). Slides work because of gravity. But that is not all.

A. Wait for gravity to pull you. B. Give yourself a push.

C. Use your feet to stop first. D. Rub against the slide.

52. Which picture explains why you slow down a bit when sliding down?

A.  B.  C.  D.

53. What will happen if you don’t use your feet at the bottom of the slide according to Newton’s first law?

A. You will stay at the bottom. B. You will stop immediately.

C. You will add extra friction. D. You will slide uncontrollably.
