A group of swans flew down to a beach where a crow(烏鴉) was jumping around. The crow watched them with disdain(鄙視).
“You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, that’s beyond you. Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!”
One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, performed other flying tricks, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan.
Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments(評價) about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to keep himself from falling into the water.
The swan pretended(假裝) not to notice, and said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick?”
“No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my life…”

A．It was showing another flying skill.

When you watch TV and play video games you make global(全球的) warming worse! It may seem hard to believe, but when electricity is made, so are greenhouse gases(溫室氣體). This means that every time you use electricity you help make global warming worse!
Cars are also making global warming worse. They burn fossil fuels(化石燃料) in their engines, and send lots of greenhouse gases into the air.
Global warming may be a big problem, but we can all help stop it. People can try to drive their cars less. Or even get ones that run on sunlight! You can also help. Let’s try one of these top ideas:
(1) Try to use less electricity. Turn off lights, your television, and your computer when you’ve stopped using them. To make electricity, fossil fuels are burned in big factories. But burning fossil fuels also makes greenhouse gases. You should also try to watch less TV.
(2) Plant trees. Not only is it a fun thing to do, but it is also a great way to lower the number of greenhouse gases in the air. Trees take carbon dioxide out of the air when they grow.
(3) Don’t throw away your rubbish, try to recycle it. If rubbish is not recycled, it is put in the ground. There it rots(腐爛) and makes a greenhouse gas called methane(甲烷).So try to recycle cans, bottles, plastic bags and newspapers. It’ll make you feel great! And it’ll help the Earth.
小題1:If we _____, we may make global warming worse.
A．use less electricityB．drive a car on sunlight
C．plant treesD．throw away rubbish
小題2:We may use more electricity by______.
A．turning off lightsB．shutting down computers
C．turning up CD playersD．turning off TV
小題3:______ will make global warming worse.
A．MethaneB．CansC．NewspapersD．Bottles
小題4:Using less electricity does good to global warming because_______.
A．the less electricity is used, the more greenhouse gases are produced
B．the more electricity is used, the more greenhouse gases are produced
C．more electricity is used, less greenhouse gases are produced
D．less electricity is used, more greenhouse gases are produced
小題5:Which is the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A．Driving cars on sunlight helps to stop global warming.
B．When cars burn fossil fuels, they produce greenhouse gases.
C．When trees grow, they send carbon dioxide into the air.
D．By planting more trees, we can lower the number of greenhouse gases in the air.

Water can be a liquid, a solid or a gas. When it is a solid, it can be as hard as stone. When it is a liquid, it can run through your fingers. When it is a gas, you may not see or feel it.
Water can change from a solid to a liquid or to a gas easily. This is why we always have fresh water. Now let us find out how it does. The heat of the sun turns liquid water into gas from the oceans, seas, rivers and lakes. The heat also turns liquid water into gas from the ground, the plants and the animals. Water in the gas rises and turns into clouds in the air.
When the clouds come near a mountain, they rise high. As the clouds rise, they get cooler. The higher they rise, the cooler they become. Then more and more water gas turn into water drops. In this way, the drops of water in the clouds get bigger and bigger. Then they fall to the earth as rain.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇正確答案
小題1:What is the solid of water?
A．RainB．GasC．StoneD．Ice
小題2:When the water is a _____, we may not see or feel it.

In some science fiction movies, evil robots refuse to die, no matter how hard people fight back.
Now science fiction has become science fact. For the first time, scientists have made a robot that can take a beating and keep on going. Scientists from Cornell University made the robot, which looks like a spider with four legs.
Until now, even the most advanced (先進的) robot was almost certain to break down when it was damaged (毀壞). That is because its computer inside simply doesn’t know how to make the machine work after its shape has changed. 
To deal with this problem, the scientists put eight motors (發(fā)動機) and two sensors (傳感器) that read how the machine is working. They all give signals to the machine’s software. Using this information, the computer can then figure out the machine’s shape at any moment.
The new technology is a big advance in robot-making, scientists say, and it’s far from scary. It may someday help scientists create better artificial (假的) arms and legs and give new freedom to people who lose them. It might also help scientists understand how people and animals figure out their own sense of place in space.
“It has been difficult to design robots that can work well when the environment changes or when it’s damaged,” says Olaf Sporns of Indiana University in US. “With this work, we are nearer to solving this problem.”
小題1:Why do robots easily break down when they are damaged?
A．They cannot repair themselves.
B．The computer has changed a lot.
C．They have no computers inside.
D．The computer cannot work if the robot changes.
小題2:The new technology(技術(shù)) allows the robot to        .
A．keep working after being damaged
B．tell people where it is
C．do house work for humans
D．remember a lot of information
小題3:The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refers to       .
A．sensors B．robotsC．scientistsD．a(chǎn)rms and legs
小題4:How do the sensors in the robot work?
A．They can replace the computer when it’s broken.
B．They help the computer learn the robot’s condition.
C．They can find out where the damage comes from.
D．They can send signals to the person who uses the robot.
