A
The world is not only hungry, but it will also be thirsty for water. About 97% of water on the earth is sea water, or salty water. Man can only drink or use the other 3% of the fresh water (淡水) which comes from rivers, lakes and underground.
The sea is very big. Look at the map of the world, there is more sea than land. It covers three quarters of the earth. It looks very beautiful when the sun is shining on it. But it can be terrible when there is a strong wind.
Some parts of the sea are very deep. There is one place near Japan. It's nearly 11 kilometres deep. The highest mountain in the world is about 9 kilometres high. If we put that mountain into the sea at that place, there would be about 2 kilometres of water above it!
The sea is salty. There is one "sea" called the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is not a sea. It's a big lake in the Jordan valley. The Dead Sea is about 80 kilometres long, between 4.8 and 17.7 kilometres wide. In fact, the average width（平均宽度）is 13.11 kilometres. It's the saltiest. Fish can't live in it and plants can't grow near it. People can’t swim well in the Dead Sea, but they can float (漂浮) on the water. The water is very blue and the air is clean. In winter people come to the Dead Sea to enjoy the sunshine.
51. The passage tells us the sea covers _______ of the earth.
A.
B.
C.
D.
52. The Dead Sea is about ______square kilometers.
A. 1009 B. 1049 C. 1209 D. 1249
53. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A. The Dead Sea is the saltiest sea in the world.
B. The world will be thirsty for water.
C. The sea looks beautiful when the sun is shining on it.
D. Fish and plants can't live in the Dead sea.
B

Without plants, people could not live. We eat plants. We breathe the oxygen (氧气) that plants produce. And another reason that we need plants is that they make our cities and our life beautiful and colorful. That's why even in big cities there are trees, green grass and flowers everywhere. And you are sure to find some green houses and flowers in the rooms in every city.
But do you talk to your plants? Do you give them love and attention (注意)? The book The Secret Life of Plant by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird says that you should talk to them and give them love. The book tells a very interesting test. Two seeds (种子) were planted in different places. While the plants were growing, one plant was given only negative ideas. After six months, the loved plant was bigger. Under the earth, it had more and longer roots, and it had a thick stem and more leaves above the earth.
58. The word "negative" in the passage means ______.
A. 热情的 B. 积极的 C. 消极的 D. 向上的

A. can talk to each other B. can take care of each other

D
Astronomy is the oldest science known to man. Thousands of years ago man looked at the stars and wondered about the heavens. But man only saw the six planets that could be seen by man with eyes alone.
The Greeks studied astronomy over 2,000 years ago. They could see the size, colour, and brightness of a star. They could see its place in the sky. They watched the stars move as the seasons changed. But the Greeks had no tools to help themselves study the heavens.
Each new tool coming to the field of astronomy helped man reach out into space. Until there were telescopes (望远镜) that helped man see farther to the sky, man knew a little about the moon. He did not know that the planet called Saturn (土星)had rings around it. Man could not see all the planets at that time. In the early 1700s, people thought there were only six planets. Pluto (冥王星), the last of the nine planets to be discovered, was not seen until 1930.
Before the spectroscopes (分光镜), man did not know what kind of gas was in the sun or other stars. Without the radio telescopes (射电望远镜), we did not know that radio noises came from far in space.
Today, astronomy is a growing science. We have learned more in the past fifty years than in the whole history of astronomy. A new report said that the US scientists have discovered the 10th planet that is called 2003 UB313 temporarily (暂时地).
62. Astronomy is a science that is about the ______ study.
A. geography B. mathematics C. universe D. living things
63. Man knew ______ about the stars in the sky two thousand years ago.
A. everything B. nothing C. something D. all things
64. People didn’t know about Pluto until ______.
A. thousands years ago B. 1700s
C. 2,000 years ago D. 1930
65. Based on the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Ten planets have been discovered by scientists for about 2,000 years.
B. Man has made greater progress (进步) in astronomy in the past 50 years than before.
C. The Greeks used the spectroscopes to study astronomy over 2,000 years ago.
D. The Chinese knew a little more about the moon than the American.
