26、What you need:

·Sugar

·Cold water in a clear glass

·Hot water in a clear glass

·Spoon for stirring (搅拌)

What you do:

·Make sure the glasses have the same amount of water.

·Put an amount of sugar into the cold water and stir it with the spoon until the sugar disappears. Repeat this process (remembering to count the amount of sugar you put into the water) until the sugar stops dissolving (溶解). At this point, the sugar starts to gather on the bottom of the glass rather than dissolving.

·Write down how much sugar you could dissolve in the cold water.

·Repeat the same process in the hot water, and then compare the number of sugar dissolved in each glass. Which dissolved more? What’s happening?

What’s happening?

The cold water isn’t able to dissolve as much sugar as the hot water. Sugar dissolves in the hot water three times as fast as in the cold water. But why? Another name for the liquids inside the glasses is a “solution”. When this solution can no longer dissolve sugar, it becomes a “saturated (饱和的) solution”. This means that sugar starts forming on the bottom of the glass.

The reason why the hot water dissolves more is that it has faster moving molecules (分子) which are spread further apart than the molecules in the cold water. With bigger gaps between the molecules in the hot water, more sugar molecules can fit in between them.

【1】What isn’t needed in the experiment?

A．Sugar.

B．Water.

C．Spoon.

D．Bowl.

【2】In which order does the experiment develop?

a. Put sugar into each glass until the sugar stops dissolving.

b. Write down the amount of sugar that dissolves in each glass.

c. Compare the two numbers.

d. Prepare a glass of cold water and a glass of hot water.

A．a—c—b—d

B．d—a—b—c

C．d—a—c—b

D．a—b—c—d

【3】If it takes five minutes for sugar to dissolve in the hot water, how long does it take in the cold water?

A．Five minutes.

B．Ten minutes.

C．Fifteen minutes.

D．Twenty minutes.

【4】The passage is a page from ________.

A．a chemistry magazine

B．a travel guide

C．a film poster

D．a daily newspaper

27、I was born in Venice, one of the most popular tourist attractions in Italy, and studied designing at university here. Though I have also spent time away, I have always come back because it’s my home.

In Venice, there are no roads, only canals, so you have to get around on foot or by boat. I live on a canal in the Rialto area in a house that was built in 1588 for the Muti family, who were businessmen in the silk trade. In the mid-eighteenth century, it was home to the Vezzi family, who made things like plates and bowls in fine china and became rich by sending these around the world. These businessmen’s houses in Venice are like palaces. Their owners had to have space to show off their goods, but the building also had to be an office, a factory, a store and a home. My house came into our family in 1919, when it was bought by my grandfather. He died before I was born but he was the director of a museum where I often do research on old documents. On some of these, I’ve seen notes in his handwriting, so, in a way, I met him through these documents.

Sadly, the population of Venice has dropped from 120,000 in the 1950s to about 60,000 now. This doesn’t include the thousands of tourists who come to visit. I welcome the tourists but unless something is done to stop everyday shops like bakeries from disappearing, the city will die. I want people who love the city to come here to live and work and give Venice back a life that is not just about tourism.

【1】What can we learn about the family who first owned the author’s home?

A．They were china dealers.

B．They made plates and bowls.

C．They used to buy and sell silk.

D．They helped to build the canals.

【2】What does the author say about his grandfather?

A．He met his grandfather in an unusual way.

B．His grandfather taught him how to write.

C．His grandfather turned his home into a museum.

D．He found his grandfather’s handwriting hard to read.

【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph about Venice?

A．It faces a difficult situation.

B．It can’t feed its population.

C．It needs more modern shops.

D．It has fewer tourists than before.

28、   Winter is a really fun time of the year—it's great to have snowball fights and build snowmen, 【1】 When it's cold outside and you're not prepared, you can feel uncomfortable. Lucky for you, learning how to stay safe is not difficult.

●【2】 Wearing thick clothes is the best way to stay warm in the cold. Depending on where you live and how cold it is, some kids may need more clothes, some less.

●Take that hat. You maybe wear a large overcoat and ready to go, but are you forgetting something? 【3】 You'll stay much warmer with a hat than without one—tons of body heat escapes right from your head.

●Take it easy. Sometimes if you're out having fun, it's easy to forget to pay attention to your body.

C．Pull a hat onto your head.

D．That's why you need to be careful with your body s signals.

G．You can stay outside as long as possible to fully enjoy your snow days.

29、When talking about traveling? Many people choose backpacking (背着背包徒步旅行) because it not only helps save a lot of money, but also gives them another kind of experience. When you are planning a backpacking adventure, the first thing to do in your opinion may be the decision on the places where you will visit. However, it is not the most important thing. Great adventures will make you face great danger. So you should not only imagine the enjoyment you will have on the trip, but also think about the possible danger you might face.

Making travel insurance (保险) is the most staple. It can make sure that you stay safe on the trip. So you should buy a backpacker travel insurance policy (保险单) before you leave. Backpacker policies are specially designed to meet your needs, by offering a high level of cover for a long time of travel. You can buy a backpacker policy from one week to two years or longer time. The backpacker insurance policy covers many activities such as swim and ski, and provides protection for these activities. So buying a backpacker travel insurance policy is very important.

It is a good idea to compare a few insurance companies before you make a decision. You should always carefully check the backpacker policy and make sure the activities you want to do are all covered by the policy.

A．plans to go for a backpacking
