But when we talk about day and night, we are using“day”to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning（旋转）of the earth. At the equator（赤道）day and night are sometimes the same length（长度）. They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 o’clock in the morning and sets at 6 o’clock in the evening. For six months the North Pole is tilted（倾斜）toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere（半球）gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than nights. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.（）50．When the Western Hemisphere is having day, the Eastern Hemisphere is having ________.A. both day and nightB. dayC. neither day nor nightD. night（）51．A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by ________ of the earth.A. the pushingB. the pullingC. the spinningD. the passing（）52．At the equator day is as long as night ________.A. sometimesB. neverC. usuallyD. always（）53．When the North Pole is tilted toward the sun, the Northern Hemisphere gets ________ sunlight.A. lessB. moreC. allD. no（）54．When it is winter in China, ________.A. the USA is tilted toward the sunB. the South Pole is tilted away from the sunC. the North Pole is tilted toward the sunD. the North Pole is tilted away from the sun45．D 46．A 47．B 48．C 49．A 50．D 51．C 52．A 53．B 54．D3Nick is twenty-three and works in a middle school.

Thesedreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize;they can also be small, such as becoming one of the beststudents in your class.Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Doyou ever try to make your dream real?Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us thatmaking your dreams real is life’s biggest challenge. Y oumay think you’re not very good at some school subjects, orthat it’s impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream.In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. Y ou should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.Y ou must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. Y ou need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.49.The biggest difficulty on the road to your dreams comes from _____________________.A. yourselfB. your friendsC. your schoolD. your parents.50.

In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the northeast and the middle west, it is very hot sometimes and very cold sometimes. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 study by scientists showed that the IQ of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. V ery hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often do worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But big people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.Low air pressure (气压) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. There is ―good weather ‖ for work and health. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s fault.54.___________ can have a bad effect on health.A.

The river isbecoming so dirty that few living things can live in it. So, ifI were the mayor, I would order all the factories that pour the waste water into the river to close down. As we all know, water is the source (根源) of our lives. It is very important to protect water. Zhang Yan,14,from ChengduOur city is more and more beautiful. But sometimes it’s not convenient for the blind. There are not enough pavements（人行道）in our city. Some of the old ones are broken. They may not be safe to walk on! If I were the mayor of our city, I would build more pavements for the blind. Wang Lili, 16,from ChongqingThere are more and more old people in our city. And there are not enough places for them to relax and enjoy themselves. So, if I were the mayor, I would build an activity center in each residential(住宅) area for the old. So old people can play cards or chess. This will make old people not feel lonely any more and spend remaining years comfortably.58. What does Deng Chuan care for?A. Water pollution.B.

Men can wear them, too. In Scotland, men wear a kind of skirt called kilt. The kilt is their national dress and an important part of their tradition.A kilt is a colored skirt reaching down to the knees. It has checks（方格）on it with different colors, like red and blue. Each family in Scotland has its own colors.How did the Scots start to wear kilts? There are many stories about it. One story is that the kilt was invented in the 1720s by an English factory owner, Thomas Rawlinson.Rawlinson had a number of Scottish workers in his factory and he thought their clothing got in the way of their work. So he cut their long clothes into shorter skirts.Today, most Scotsmen look the kilt as formal dress. They usually only wear them at weddings or big dinners. There are only a few men who still wear a kilt every day.Scots also wear kilts in parades（游行队伍）when they play their traditional musical instrument bagpipes. The army still has kilts as the dress uniform, but they no longer use them when fighting.1. Which of the following is a kilt?A B C D2.

A short time ago, a test was given in the United States .People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test . During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfast, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten different kinds of breakfasts .The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class .The result is opposite to what some people think .

Headmaster: Certainly not. Children have got two full – time jobs already: growing up and going to school. Part – time jobs make them so tired that they fall asleep in class.Mrs. Barrens: I agree with you. I know school hours are short, and there’s homework, too, so children need a lot of sleep.Mr. Barrens: Some students stay at school until they’re eighteen or nineteen. A part –time job can’t harm them. In fact, it’s good for them. They earn(挣) their pocket-moneyinstead of asking their parents for it. And they see something of the world outsideschool.Businessman: Y ou’re quite right. Boys learn a lot from part-time jobs. And we mustn’t forget that some families need the extra (额外的)money. If the students don’t take part-timejobs, they can’t stay at school.Editor: Well, we have got two for, and two against. What do our readers think?11. How many people join the discussion?A. Two.B.
