wind?Well,you can make one ofyour own!This is fun game that you can do with things you may have at home.Youjust need to follow a few easy steps.You will need:one piece of colored paper five ribbons(丝带)strong tape a string(绳)a pencilWhat to do:Step I:Draw pictures on the paper.You can write yourname on it.Do anything that will make it special to you.Step2:Make the paper into the shape of a tube(管子).Then stick the tube together at each end and in the middle with a strong tape.Step 3:Use a pencil to make a hole into both sides of the tube.The holes shouldbe only on one end of the tube.Pull the string through both holes.Then tie(系)theends of the string together.Step 4:Now make five holes around the top of the other end of the tube.Put aribbon through each of the holes.Tie a knot(结)in the ends.Make sure the knots arebigger than the holes.Now your windsock is ready to use,but how does it work?The shape of the tubeplays an important part.Wind blows through the tube and makes it fly and dancearound.Hold the windsock up in the air by its string and run around.It will fly behindyou.Now you can enjoy watching it dance around on its own!41.Which of these things do you need for Step 2?A.pencil.B.Tape.C.Ribbons.D.Astring642.What do you do after you put ribbons through the holes in the tube?A.Make holes in the tube.B.Tape the tube together.C.Tie knots in the ribbons.D.Put a string through the hole.43.What is the main purpose(目的)of this article?A.To tell an interesting story.B.To explain how to make a windsock.C.To teach an important lesson.D.To show what a windsock is like.BWho wants to carry a bulky bag to school?No children.Nobody wants oneshoulder to be lower than the other,and paining(疼痛)too.In India,most of us wouldlook at the reduction(减少)of textbooks as a way out.But in a country like America,there are always more choices.A company called goReader has created a“schoolbag”which is the size of a laptop computer,weighing about 2.5 kg.The goReader hasa color screen and can“hold”all the textbooks that student may need,says a report inTheAsian Agenewspaper.The company plans to work closely with the publishers(出版商)of textbooks sothat these books can be supplied on the Internet.All the students will have to do is todownload their textbooks.Making notes and marking important parts of a lesson canbe done just as lots of students have done on their textbooks before.At present,the plan is being tested out in university.Richard Katzmann,theowner of the company is having his creation tested at Chicagos DePaul University,where he studied.Does that mean it is goodbye to the new paper,and the smell of theblack ink?44.What does the underlined word“bulky”in the first line mean?A.lightB.smallC.big and heavyD.old45.The writer may think that Americans have a _ way to solve the problem.A.more stupidB.worseC.betterD.quicker46.The goReader may be a machine _.A.that can work as a teacherB.that can be used as textbooksC.that can cheat studentsD.that can hurt students747.When the new machine is used,it is possible that _.A.students might study harderB.students might study at homeC.students might not need teachersD.students might study without paper textbooksCWhenever you walk past a cafe,you might walk into it because of the smell offreshly made coffee.But the minute you try this dark drink you will regret(后悔)it,because it tastes like bitter Chinese medicine.Why does something that smells so good taste so bad?Many people want toknow the reason for it.Now scientists say they find the answer-it lies in our“secondsense of smell.”“We have two senses of smell,”explained Barry Smith,professor of theUniversity of London.“One is when you breathe(呼 吸)in things from theenvironment,and the other is when the air comes up the nose and is breathed outthrough the nose”.When we drink coffee,for example,the act of swallowing(吞咽)sends burst ofsmell up the back of our nose from inside the mouth.This wakes up the second senseof smell in our brain.But it is weaker and less sensitive to flavors(味道).So it givesus a completely different feeling.In fact,the second sense of smell plays an important part in our eatingexperience.Many people believe that we smell through our nose and taste using ourtongue(舌头).But the truth is 80 percent of what we think of as taste actually reachesus through smell.Just hold your nose while eating and you will notice that yourtongue can only catch a very small part of the flavor.48.Why does something that smells so good taste so bad?A.Because we have two senses of smell.B.Because our“second sense of smell”works.C.Because different people have different tastes.8D.Because people have both tongues and noses.49.Which of the following is NOT true?A.We have two senses of smell.B.The tongue can only catch a small part of the flavor.C.The first sense of smell is weaker and less sensitive to flavors.D.We usually think we smell through our nose and taste using our tongue.50.The underlined word“sensitive”in the fourth paragraph means _.A.敏感的B.迟钝的C.强烈的D.虚弱的51.The best title for this story is _.A.Smell good or taste bad.B.Second sense of smellC.Coffee tastes like bitter Chinese medicine.D.Our tongue and noseDHow important is shopping to you?How much time do you spend buying things?In the future,how much time will you spend in movie theaters,at shopping malls,orat convenience stores(便利店)?When you add it all up,you will probably see youspend a lot of your life consuming(消费)things.Consuming products is not bad.However,if we spend too much time doing it,we should look at it carefully.Imagine(想象)that you have a week off from school.However,in this week,youcannot spend any money-no shopping,no movies,no eating out.How would youspend your time?What things would bring you happiness?Perhaps you would take awalk with your best friend.Perhaps you would help a child read.Or you might spendtime with your family.When we look back,it is likely that non-consuming experiences(经历)like thesewill be our most important memories(记忆).Why?Non-consuming activities areactive.They dont come in a package(包裹).You make the experience yourself.Forexample,each person who reads to a child will have different experience.Theexperience changes with the reader,the child,and the book.However,if you watch amovie with friend,you will each have a packaged experience.Now we have lots of such packaged experiences.We feel that we must consume9because we believe that buying is doing.However,we can start a personalrevolution(变革)against consumerism(消费主义).How?By consuming less.We canask ourselves what experiences bring us the greatest satisfaction.Then we canorganize(组织)our lives so that we have more of those kinds of experiences.52.According to the passage,the writer believes that _.A.we can say no to consumerism by consuming lessB.buying things can bring us the greatest satisfactionC.the environment seldom influences our shopping choicesD.consuming experiences will be our most important memories53.The words“those kinds of experiences”in the last sentences means _.A.Consuming experiencesB.Packaged experiencesC.Non-consuming experiencesD.Experiences that bring us great satisfaction54.What is the writers main purpose(目的)in writing this passage?A.To tell why people need shopping.B.To ask people to have more active experiences.C.To introduce some ways of enjoying our spare time.D.To share his personal experience in consuming products.55.Which may be the best title of this article?A.Buying is doing?B.How to consume lessB.Consume experiencesD.How can we spend our life?第第卷卷非选择题非选择题(共共 45 分分)(请将答案填写在答题卷上)五、填空（共五、填空（共 15 小题；每小题小题；每小题 1 分，满分分，满分 15
