28、rprised he must have been when he heard many fish hitting against his roof!What caused this strange occurrence? This is a question that had long puzzled people who study fish.

29、in Australia. Throughout the autumn season, terrible storms arise and rains flood the land.

34、pth of a deserts beauty and delights.“Its just a picture of the desert,” Ashley said. Not deep at all. “Some people desire seeing beauty,” Chris replied. “Mine delivers that”. Ashley laughed arid said. “Well, that depends on what you think beauty is.”Days later, someone delivered a letter to Ashley.

35、 The letter said, “You are worthy of the bad things that will come your way. You will know the taste of defeat, and I will destroy you.”Ashley suddenly felt very cold. It was as if the room temperature had dropped 30 degrees. “Who would do such an awful deed?” she wondered. I will not let a simple l

36、etter defeat me.Just then. Chris came into the room and offered Ashley a piece of his sandwich.“Try some,” he smiled widely. “Its delicious.”“Are you trying to poison me?” Ashley asked. Chriss reaction was delayed from confusion. “Whats your problem?” he asked.The next day, Ashley brought a bat to u

37、se to defend herself . When Chris saw her bat, he joked, “Defend and win one for the team.”Ashley took no notice of him. She spent the whole day reading self-defending books and placed her work on delay. “You cant delay your work. Our job demands us to do our work on time,” Chris said. We must meet

Ashley really wanted to have Chris firedC.Its clear that Chris and Ashley were friendly to each otherD.It may sometimes bring about bad luck to speak out ones mindCMany people have described television as a passive activity that is harmful to childrens education. However, there are good and b

42、ad ways to watch television. Parents who are interested in exploiting television as a learning tool can actually turn time in front of TV into an educational chance.Probably the most familiar educational way to use television is to simply watch educational programs. In particular, this means selecti

43、ng channels and programs specially designed for educational purposes. Along with traditional educational shows for children on public broadcasting channels, cable television (有線電視)now offers kids and adults a wide variety of educational programs, with everything from nature shows to historical event

44、s in different countries.Captioning （字幕）such as “ closed captioning” for hearing disabled viewers provides another way for parents to exploit the educational possibilities of television. One study showed that children who watched captioned TV got great improvement in their vocabulary and oral readin

45、g ability. In addition, parents can make any show a learning class by watching television together with children. By actively joining children in the programs that they are watching, parents can help with the development of such skills as predicting （預(yù)見）and summarizing. In order to develop predictin

46、g skills, parents and children could first refer to a programs description in a viewing guide. After reading the program description and guessing what might happen in the program, parents and children could watch together to see which predictions were correct. And to practice summarizing, after watc

47、hing a program, parents can turn off the TV and ask what the story was about. This kind of activity helps children develop thinking skills such as arranging events in an order and memorizing information.Although there will still be plenty of times when children watch TV simply for passive enjoyment,

48、 parents can help make at least part of their childrens viewing time a more productive activity. Used intelligently by exploiting the learning chances available through various programs, television can play an instructive role in childrens education.64.Which activity is NOT suggested in the passage?

49、A.Talking about TV shows.B.Watching: captions on TV.C.Enjoying films about nature.D.Watching shows for homework.65.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.Parents can simply make any show a learning class for their children.B.To make watching TV a more productive activit

50、y parents should include themselves in the producing process.C.Most parents have changed their attitude to their kids watching 1TV arid become positive to the problem.D.In a way, it is how parents act that leads to whether watching TV may do good or not to their children.66.We can infer from the las

51、t paragraph that _A.not every minute when a child watches television must be educationalB.children should not use television for passive enjoymentC.some children prefer reading to watching televisionD.television offers more learning chances than school67.Which of the following questions is the major

52、 one discussed in the passage?A.What makes television more interesting than books?B.Why should schools put television into classrooms?C.How can parents use television as a teaching tool?D.Which program can actually make kids smarter?DThe single, decisive factor that made it possible for mankind to s

53、ettle in lasting communities （社區(qū)，聚居地）was agriculture. After farming was developed in the Middle East in about 6500 BC， people living in family units did not have to be on the move continually searching for food or hunting their animals. Once people could control the production of food and be assured

54、 of a reliable supply of it, their lives changed completely.Farming was a revolutionary discovery. It not only made settlements possible and later the building of cities but it also made available a reliable food supply. With more food available, more people could be fed. Population therefore increa

55、sed. The growing number of people available for more kinds of work led to the development of new social formations. With more and more food, a community could support a variety of workers who were not farmers.Farming in the world over has always relied upon a dependable water supply. For the earliest societies this meant rivers and streams or regular rainfall. The first great civilizations grew up along rivers. Later communities were able to develop by taking advantage of the rainy seasons.All of the ancient civilizations probably developed in much the same way, in spite of a few differ
