18、to a pool of fish? In February of 1974, Bill Tapp, an Australian farmer, saw a rain of fish that covered his farm. How surprised 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. Th

19、e answer turned out to be a bination of wind and storm. When it is spring in the northern part of the world, it is fall in Australia. Throughout the autumn season, terrible storms arise and rains flood the land. The strong winds sweep over Australia like huge vacuum cleaners(吸塵器), collecting seaweed

20、, pieces of wood, and even schools of fish. Strong winds may carry these bits of nature for many miles before dropping them on fields, houses, and astonished people. Although they seem unusual, fish-falls occur quite frequently in Australia. When Bill Tapp was asked to describe the scene of fish, he

21、 remarked, “They look like millions of dead birds falling down.” His statement is not surprising. The wonders of the natural world are as mon as rain. Nature, with its infinite wonders, can create waterfalls that flow upward and fish that fall out of the sky.56. What is this passage about? A. A sad

22、story.B. A rain of fish.C. Australias northern part.D. The damage done by floods.57. Fish-falls occur in Australia_ .A. on large farmsB. only in the winterC. quite oftenD. when the air is calm58.

24、stcards. Chris had a college degree in art and deeply felt that the degree of his designs was excellent. His last postcard showed the depth 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

25、delivers that”. Ashley laughed and said, “ Well, that depends on what you think beauty is.”Days later, someone delivered a letter to Ashley. The letter said, “ You are worthy of the bad things that will e your way. You will know the taste of defeat, and I will destroy you.”Ashley suddenly felt very

26、cold. It was as if the room temperature had dropped 30 degrees. “ Who would do such a shocking deed?” she wondered. “I will not let a simple letter 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 tryin

27、g to poison me?” Ashley asked. Chriss answer was delayed from confusion. “ Whats your problem?” he asked. The next day, Ashley brought a bat to use 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 se

28、lf-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 the demands of our job.”“ You re not the boss,” Ashley replied. “ Dont make demands of me.”Because Ashley failed to do her work, she was fired.Chris gla

32、 out ones mind ( 3 ) Many people have described television as a passive activity that is harmful to childrens education. However, there are good and bad 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 educ

33、ational chance. Probably the most familiar educational way to use television is to simply watch educational programs. In particular, this means selecting channels and programs specially designed for educational purposes. Along with traditional educational shows for children on public broadcasting ch

34、annels, cable television(有線電視) now offers kids and adults a wide variety of educational programs, with everything from nature shows to historical events in different countries. Captioning (字幕)，such as “closed captioning” for hearing disabled viewers provides another way for parents to exploit the ed

35、ucational possibilities of television. One study showed that children who watched captioned TV got great improvement in their vocabulary and oral reading ability. In addition, parents can make just about any show a learning class by watching television together with children. By actively joining chi

36、ldren in the programs that they are watching, parents can help with the development of such skills as predicting (預(yù)言) and summarizing. In order to develop predicting skills, parents and children could first refer to a programs description in a viewing guide. After reading the program description and

37、 guessing what might happen in the program, parents and children could watch together to see which predictions were correct. And to practice summarizing, after watching a program, parents can turn off the TV and ask what the story was about. This kind of activity helps children develop thinking skil

38、ls 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, parents can help make at least part of their childrens viewing time a more productive activity. Used intelligently by exploiting the l

39、earning chances available through various programs, television can play an instructive role in childrens education.64. Which activity is not suggested in the passage?A. Watching films about nature.B. Watching foreign films.C. Talking about TV shows.D. Watching shows for homework.65. Which of the fol

40、lowing statements is true according to the article?A. Parents can simply make any show a learning class for their children.B. To make watching TV a more productive activity parents should include themselves in the producing process.C. Most parents have changed their attitude to their kids watching T

41、V and bee 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 last paragraph that _ .A. children should not use television for passive enjoymentB. not every minute a child watches television must

42、be educationalC. some children prefer reading to watching televisionD. television offers more learning chances than school 67. Which of the following questions is the major one discussed in the passage? A. What makes television more interesting than books?B. Which program can actually make kids smar

43、ter?C. Why should schools put television into classroom? D. How can parents use television as a teaching tool? ( 4 ) The single, decisive factor(因素) that made it possible for mankind to settle in lasting munities(社區(qū)，聚居地) was agriculture. After farming was developed in the Middle East in about 6500 B

44、C, 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 of a reliable supply of it, their lives changed pletely.Farming was a revolutionary discovery. It not only made set

45、tlements 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 increased. The growing number of people available for more kinds of work led to the development of new social formations. Wit

46、h more and more food, a munity 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 m

47、unities 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 differences. As villages grew, the production of more numerous goods became possible. Cloth could be woven from wool. Houses made of wood,

48、 brick, and stone could be put up.The science of mathematics was an early outgrowth of agriculture. People studied the movements of the moon, the sun, and the planets to work out seasons. By doing so they created the first calendars(日歷). With a calendar it was possible to find out the arrival of eac

49、h growing season. Measurement of land areas was necessary if field was to be divided accurately. Measurements of amounts, for example, of seeds or grains was also a factor in farming and housekeeping. Later measures of value as money exchange became mon.All of the major ancient civilizations in Meso

50、potamia, Egypt, the Indus Valley, and China appeared in the 4th millennium BC. Historians still argue over which one came into being first. It may well have been the Middle East. This place reaches out from the Nile River in Egypt northward along the coast of former Palestine, then eastward into Asi

51、a to include Mesopotamia. In this area people settled along the riverbanks and practiced field agriculture. This kind of farming depended on the reproduction of seed, normally from grain crops.68.
