三、阅读理解

   Global warming is one of the most serious dangers to our mother earth. Due to global warming, the ice of the glaciers will melt down one day ,the sea level will increase from the present level, and a lot of diseases will occur. To stop all these bad happenings, global warming must be stopped as soon as possible. All necessary steps should be taken so as to save life on earth.

    There are a lot of causes of global warming. Some of these causes are natural. But some causes are produced by humans. People should use the following methods to reduce them.

    One should reduce the use of electrical appliances which give off harmful gases and are a big reason for this problem. These gases include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen dioxide, etc.

    Become a vegetarian. It will reduce the raising of animals for the purpose of food, and so reduce the production of methane.

    Use the rule of RRR in your daily life. RRR means Reduce, Reuse & Recycle. By following RRR people can reduce the waste of energy. Therefore, less fuel will be used to produce energy, thus reducing the greenhouse effect. For example, recycle paper for further use.

    Among all the methods to stop the greenhouse effect, the most effective one is to plant more trees because plants or trees absorb the carbon dioxide in the environment.

    The use of fluorescent bulbs(荧光灯) should be increased because these bulbs produce few greenhouse gases.

    Use renewable energy resources like solar energy, which can help in reducing the production of harmful gases.

    Tell your friends and neighbours the above methods. And remember: if you stop the causes of global warming, the earth will stop warming.

1.According to the passage, what can global warming lead to?

①The decrease in glaciers.

②The rise of the sea level.

③The increase in diseases.

④The reduction in the number of wild animals.
A.①②③ B.②③④ C.①③④ D.①②④
2.According to the passage, the best method to stop the greenhouse effect is to ________ .
A.reduce the use of electrical appliances B.use fluorescent bulbs
C.plant as many trees as possible D.try to use solar energy
3.Why does the author advise people to become vegetarians?
A.Because it can resolve the conflicts between humans and animals.
B.Because people can live a healthier life in this way.
C.Because it can help protect animals.
D.Because it can reduce the giving off of methane.

The Science of Earthquakes

①__________

The surface of the earth is divided into different pieces. These are called tectonic plates (构造板块). When two plates suddenly slip past one another, an earthquake happens. This shakes the ground and everything on it.

What cause earthquakes and where do they happen?

②__________They are inner core, outer core, mantle (地幔) and the earth's crust (地壳). The crust and the top of the mantle make up a think skin on the surface of the planet. But this skin is not all in one piece. It is actually made up of many tectonic plate. They are like puzzle pieces. These pieces are always sliding around and bumping into each other. Sometimes their edges get stuck together. When this happens, the rest of the plate keeps moving. Eventually the edges come unstuck.③__________.

Why does the earth shake when there is an earthquake?

Earthquakes send out waves in all directions. When they reach the earth's surface, they shake the ground. ④__________The P wave squeezes and stretches the earth. The S wave shake it up and down.

⑤__________.

Scientists use special tools to record and measure earthquakes. These tools are called seismographs. Recordings from seismographs tell scientists when and where an earthquake took place. They can also tell scientists the size of an earthquake.

A. How are earthquakes recorded?

B. That is when an earthquake happens.

C. There are different types of earthquake waves.

D. What is an earthquake?

E. The earth has four main layers (层).

F. Can scientists predict earthquakes?

G. Scientists can tell where an earthquake took place by studying the P and S waves.

四、七选五

答案：①-⑤ DEBCA
解析：①由"The surface of the earth is divided into different pieces. They are called tectonic plates (构造板块). When two plates suddenly slip past one another, an earthquake happens. This shakes the ground and everything on it."可知, 地球表面被分成不同的部分。它们被称为构造板块。当两个板块突然擦肩而过时, 就会发生地震。这震动了地面和上面的一切事物。所以本段在向读者解释地震是什么。故D选项“地震是什么?” 符合题意。故D选项正确。

②由"They are the inner core, outer core, mantle (地幔) and the earth's crust (地壳)." 可知, 它们是内核、外核、地幔和地壳。所以设空处要总说“地球有四个主要层”。故E选项“地球有四个主要层。”符合题意。故E选项正确。

③由"These pieces are always sliding around and bumping into each other. Sometimes their edges get stuck together. When this happens, the rest of the plate keeps moving. Eventually the edges come unstuck."可知, 这些碎片总是四处移动、互相碰撞。有时它们的边缘会卡在一起。当这种情况发生的时候, 板块的剩余部分继续移动。最终边缘会松脱。而这时候会发生地震。故B选项“那就是一场地震发生的时候。”符合题意。故B选项正确。

④由"The P wave squeezes and stretches the earth. The S wave shakes it up and down."可知,  纵波挤压并拉伸地球。横波上下摇动地球。所以设空处要总说“地震波有不同的类型。”。故C选项“地震波有不同的类型。”符合题意。故C选项正确。

⑤由"Scientists use special tools to record and measure earthquakes. These tools are called seismographs. Recording from seismographs tells scientists when and where an earthquake took place. It can also tell scientists the size of an earthquake."可知, 科学家们使用特殊工具记录和测量地震。这些工具被称为地震仪。地震仪的记录告诉科学家们地震发生的时间和地点。 它还可以告诉科学家们地震的强弱。所以本段主要在讨论地震是如何被记录的。故A选项“地震是如何被记录的?”符合题意。故A选项正确。
