Water goes around and around Earth in a never ending journey called the water cycle

（循环）

.

The

sun

heats

up

lakes,

oceans,

and

other

wet

places

on

Earth.

When

the

water

gets warm enough, it changes into vapour. Plants also give off lots of water vapour.

Some of this water vapour cools off high in the sky and becomes clouds. Then it falls

back to Earth in a new place as rain or snow. This cycle happens over and over again.

The ground can absorb water like a sponge (

海绵

). If you could see this groundwater,

it wouldn’t look like a lak

e or river. The groundwater is mixed in with the rocks and

sand that lie in layers(

层) below Earth’s surface.

Groundwater moves along slowly. How slowly? Maybe 1.5 kilometres in one century. Some

of

this

water

has

been

underground

for

thousands

of

years.

And

once

groundwater

is

pumped

out of the ground from a deep well

（井）

by people, it may take hundreds of years for

another water to take its place.

which order does water go around Earth?

a .Fall down as rain or snow.

b. Heated up by the sun on lakes, oceans and other wet places.

c. Cool off high in the sky.

d.

Form clouds.

e.

Change into vapour.

A. dacbe

B. becda

C.

caebd

D. bceda

35. The groundwater seems to________.

A. be just on the ground

B.

be

pure

water

like

that

in

a lake or river

C. exist in rocks and sand

D.

flow

along

like

rivers

or

streams

36

. The underlined word “pumped” in the passage can be replaced by________.

A. run

B.

pushed

C.

drawn

D. picked

37. What conclusion

（结论）

can we draw from the passage?

A. Groundwater can be quickly replaced by other water once pumped out.

B. Groundwater is very valuable.

C. Groundwater has nothing to do with human beings.

D. Groundwater travel in an unknown way.

As

a

music

teacher

for

twenty-seven

years

I

have

always

known

that

music

touches

the

soul. It can break through all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special

way. It can be the means for each child to find their light.

A few years ago I was blessed with the opportunity to teach pre- school students one

4

afternoon

a

week.

One

of

my

most

memorable

students

was

Vanessa.

She

was

five

years

old,

had difficulty walking and could not speak. We mostly sat on the floor for our music

lessons

and

Vanessa

liked

to

sit

on

my

lap.

One

of

her

favorite

songs

was

John

the

Rabbit.

It

was

a

call

and

response

song

where

I

sang

the

call

and

the

students

clapped

two

times

while singing the repeating phrase “Oh yes

!

” Vanessa

liked

to put

her

hands together

with

mine

and

clap

with

me.

We

performed

that

song

during

every

class

Vanessa

and

I

clapped

together. She never said or sang a word.

One day late in the school year when the song was finished Vanessa turned around,

looked

at

me

in

the

eye,

clapped

her

tiny

hands

two

times

and

sa

id

the

words

“Oh

yes!”

I o

pened my mouth and could not speak. Through music we had made a connection.

Several years later I came across Vanessa on the street in town. I stopped my car

and waved to say hello. She waved back with a big smile on her face and then clapped

her

hands

two

times

mimicking

the

song

we

had

performed

in

our

music

class.

This

precious

little girl through her connection with music left an impression on me that will last

forever.

Every child has the ability to learn and grow. It is up to us educators to discover

the

way

to

reach

each

and

every

one

of

our

students.

We

all

must

find

each

child’s

light.

38. The author thinks music__________.

A. can make children calm down B. can connect heart to heart

C. is difficult for pre-school students D. is a good

means to find a

job

39. According to the second paragraph Vanessa_________.

A. got used to singing songs B. was too shy to speak

C. was the youngest in the class

D. enjoyed the author’s class

40. When Vanessa spoke the words “Oh yes!” the author felt________.

A. surprised B. happy C. frightened D. satisfied

41. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?

A. The author has been in touch with Vanessa for several years.

B. Vanessa became as healthy as other children.

C. The song made a deep impression on Vanessa.

D. Being a good educator became Vanessa’s dream.

One thing that British and Chinese cultures share is a love

for fine tea. Today, when we think of Western tea culture, we

often think of the English and beautiful china tea cups.

Afternoon tea

People

believe

that

an

English

lady,

Anna,

first

introduced

the idea of afternoon tea. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the

English ate two main meals each day

—

breakfast and a heavy supper that would last for

several

hours

in

the

evening.

As

a

result,

people

often

got

very

hungry

during

the

long

wait between these two meals. To solve this problem, Anna came up with the clever idea
