A man came back home from work late, tired, to find his six-year-old son waiting
for him at the door.
“Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?”
“If you want to know, I make $20 an hour.”
“Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down. He thought for a moment,
looked up and said, “Daddy, could you lend me $10?”
The father was furious, “If you asked for money to buy a toy or some other
rubbish, then go straight to your room and think why you are being so selfish (自
私的)!”
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. After about an hour
or so, the father calmed down, and started to think, “Maybe he really needs to buy
something and he didn’t ask for money very often.” So he went to the little boy’
s room.
“Sorry! Maybe I was too hard on you just now,” said the man. “Here’s $10.”
“Oh, thank you, Daddy!” the boy said gladly. Then, the boy took out some coins.
When the father found that the boy already had some money, he got angry again.
“Why do you want more money since you already have some?” the father shouted
angrily.

Many children love to play with snow in winter. But Long Chuan has come to hate
it.
This year his hometown suffered from snowstorms (遭受暴风雪) for nearly a month.
The heavy snow stopped cars and trains, broke the electricity (电) tower and turned
tap water to ice.
Every day Long Chuan had to walk several kilometers to carry drinking water.
“I couldn’t ride a bike and it took me 3 hours to walk to school. I can’t remember
how many times I slipped (滑倒) on the hard ice, ” said Long Chuan.
Long is not alone. This year millions of people in central and southern China
had a freezing winter without enough water and electricity. The biggest snowstorms
in 50 years killed more than 100 people. They also cost the country 111.1 billion
yuan.
Experts (专家) say a special type of climate condition (气候条件), La Nina,
caused the storms. During a La Nina, the water in the Pacific Ocean (太平洋) near
the equator (赤道) becomes colder than usual. It changes the weather around the
world.
Besides China, Canada, the US and Middle Eastern countries also met with heavy
snowstorms this winter. The special climate caused the recent flooding (洪水) in
Australia, too.
However, experts say that people have destroyed the environment (环境). Global
warming (全球变暖) may be causing these terrible weather events to happen more and
more often.
51. What took place in Long Chuan’s hometown last winter?
A. Earthquake.
B. Flooding.
C. Traffic Accident.
D. Heavy snowstorms.

__________.

B. La Nina is said to have caused the snowstorms

A. to wear more clothes in winter

Tea bag drinking is most Westerns’ favorite way of drinking tea. Do you know
how it came about?
The tea bag was invented in 1908 by Thomas Sullivan, an American tea seller.
He was sending out free tea in silk (丝绸) bags for people to try. People put the
bags together with the tea leaves into the cup and added hot water. The tea tasted
good, and people thought it was easy to clean the cup. They were not happy when
Sullivan started sending them loose (散的) tea again.
Sullivan realized that he had a hot new thing in his hands, and he built a machine
to pack the bags. As tea bags became popular, they were changed from silk to gauze
(薄纱) and later paper. In 1952, Lipton Tea made the tea bag even more popular with
its invention of the four-sided tea bag. Tea bags were soon a hit in the UK, and
today 85% of the tea in the UK is packed in paper bags.
However, many people still prefer loose-leaf tea. This is because some tea
companies put not very good tea in their tea bags. But for most drinkers, tea bags
are still the easy, tasty way to go.
56. Who invented the tea bag?
A. An English tea seller.
B. Chinese.
C. Lipton.
D. Thomas
Sullivan.
57. The tea in silk bags was welcome because ________.
A. the tea in bags was free and very good
B. the tea tasted good and the cup was easy to wash
C. people were happy with the loose tea
D. people didn’t know any better way to enjoy the tea
58. The material of the tea bags is usually __________ now.
A. silk
B. gauze
C. paper
D. plastic
59. The underlined sentence “Tea bags were soon a hit in the UK” probably means
“________ in the UK”.
A. Tea bags soon became popular
B. Tea bags surprised everyone very much
C. Tea bags kicked (踢) the loose-leaf tea out of the market
D. Tea bags weren’t allowed to be sold
60. The reading mainly talks about ___________.
A. the invention of tea
C. the history of tea bags
B. the way of drinking tea
D. people’s favorite tea in the world
E.
If you knew a bottle of water had been recycled from urine (尿), would you drink
it? Astronauts at the International Space Station (ISS) may soon do so.
NASA (美国航空航天局) said it would use a high-tech machine (高科技机器) to
recycle wastewater at the ISS. The machine will recycle everything from sweat (汗),
the water for washing hands, shower water, water used for brushing teeth, and even
urine, to make drinking water.
It will save NASA millions of dollars each year. At present, each ISS astronaut
uses about 4.4 liters (升) of water every day. It costs about $24 million a year
to transport water up to ISS. NASA says that a liter of water costs about $11,000.
The machine will be sent to the ISS in October 2008. NASA hopes it will recycle
about 93% of all water used on the station.
Will the water be clean? Scientists say the wastewater will go through a very
complicated process (复杂的过程). For example, different chemicals will be put in
the wastewater; the water will be heated to 130℃ to get rid of bacteria (细菌).
The recycled water is thousands of times better than the water from a city tap,
scientists say.
61. NASA will use a high-tech machine to recycle wastewater at the ISS to __________.
A. protect the ISS
B. make astronauts at ISS work harder
C. provide better water and food for ISS astronauts
D. save the cost of transporting water up to the ISS

astronaut at the ISS a day.

C. 48.4 thousand
D. 24 million
63. Scientists plan to get rid of bacteria in the wastewater by ___________.
A. freezing
B. heating
C. shaking
D. precipitating (沉
淀)
64. The reading mainly tells us something about ___________.
A. water recycling
C. a high-tech machine
B. the International Space Station
D. the cost of NASA
65. Which of the following sentences is true, according to the passage?
A. The recycled water is much better than that from a city tap.
B. The high-tech machine will recycle all the water used on the station.
C. At present, each ISS astronaut uses more water than the people living on the
earth.
