（共15小题，每小题2分，计30分）AWe live in the world full of colou rs. Does a colour have weight? If you say “no”, you are wrong. If you don’t believe, you may do an experiment.First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the boxes. Third, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other woth a white piece of paper. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you think the red one is a little heavier.Why? A scientist found that different colours have different weight in a man’s mind. So he did many tests and at last he found that every colour has its own weight in our mind and their order is the same. The heaviest colour is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.The scientist told us that colours also have smell. Can you smell the colour? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every colour stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength, and it reaches our brain through sense organs.According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colours they like, and refuse the colours they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colours you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill. For example, if you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for fo ur hours. But if the room is blue, you’ll feel you have been there for only an hour. Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his tempertature will fall. That means our body temperature will change with different colours.( ) 31. Paragraph 1-3 tell us that ___________.A. the two boxes have the same weightB. colours can change the weight of an objectC. the red paper is heavier than the white paperD. colours have different weight in people’s mind( ) 32. Why did the scientist think that colours have smell?A. Because we can smell colours with our nose.B. Because every colour has its own sweet smell.C. Because people can sense the light from coloursD. Because every colour can give off light of the same length.( ) 33. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. People may get ill if they refuse the colours they don’t like.B. People can stay longer in blue rooms than in red rooms.C. In people’s mind, red colour is heavier than white colour.D. People’s body temperature will change with different colours.( ) 34. What is the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “wavelength”?A. 波浪B. 色彩C. 频率D. 波长( ) 35. The passage is probably _________.A. a short novelB. a news reportC. a science reportD. an advertisementBCaptain Nemo seemed very sure that that savages could not harm us. I slept well. When I went outside the next morning, I saw that there were many more natives on the beach. It was low tide, and many of them had come quite close to the Nautilus. I asked Conseil to get a net, and we used it to get some shells from the water. They were very pretty shells. Suddenly, I saw a very rare and beautiful shell. We looked at it together. One of the savages threw a stone at us and broke the shell. Conseil was very angry. He fired his gun at the savage. Then, we noticed that the savages had come very close to the Nautilus in their canoes. A few moments later, they began to shoot their arrows at us. We went inside and told Captain Nemo about it. He ordered his men to close the doors.“But what will happen tomorrow?” I asked. “You will have to open the doors to get more air, and the savages will come in.”“Do you think they will dare?”“I am sure they will.”“We have nothing to fear,” he said again.Captain Nemo asked me about our trip to the island. I told him what we had seen and done. We talked about another F rench sailor called D’Urville, whose ship was wrecked in the Torres Strait. He told me again that the high tide the next day would lift the Nautilus off the reef.（选自《海底两万里》）( ) 36.

Their men walked about a hundred metres ahead of us.“When did your people, the Kukuana, come to this place?”“They came from the north many thousands of moons ago,” Infadoos explained. “When they reached the mountains, they could go no farther. They stayed here where the land is good and there is water.”“Do you live here in peace?” I asked.“There have been two wars. Once an army came down from the north, but we killed most of them. Soon after that, we fought among ourselves.” He said, “Th e king at that time had two sons—twins. When he died, both young men wanted to be king. One of the twins, Twala, killed the other and became king.”“Did the dead man have a wife and children?” I asked. I knew that if he did, the fighting could start again one day.“Yes. He had a wife, Imotu, and a son, Ignosi. They ran away.” He pointed to a village a short way ahead. “That is the village where Imotu and Ignosi first hid,” he said. “We shall stay there tonight..”As soon as we were within a mile or so of the village, an army of men came out. As we passed them, they shouted a welcome.Their women were in the village. They stopped whatever they were doing to watch us pass by, but they were not rude. As soon as we were comfortable in a hut, they came with milk, honey, and cooked food.A young man brought a fat young ox which he killed and cut into pieces. We took a few pieces for ourselves and gave him the rest. We don’t want them to think we were selfish.（选自《所罗门王的宝藏》，有删节）( ) 41.
