28、in water thaninair.（主题句）The objectsappearclosertoyouthantheyexactlyare.Youmight findyourself reaching out to touch something and completely missing it.Objects under water will appear larger than they would on the surface, too. Be careful not to tell any stories about the big fish that got away. That
29、 fish might not be so big after all! Its just because sometimes things can seem to be as much as about 33 percent bigger in water!Whats more, in deeper water, colors just dont seem as bright. In fact, it looks as if some colors are missing. Remember the color of an object results from the wavelength
30、s(波长) of lightthat are reflected(反射) from its surface. And light is taken in as it moves down through the water.Swimmers wear wet suits to keep warm underwater. Lets take a bright red, yellow, and blue wet suit as an example. These colors are hard to miss on the surface of water. Watch carefully the
31、 changes in color as you descend in the water. The red part now looks almost black because the red light wavelengths, the longest among these three colors, are missing. As you go down deeper, thesame thing will happen to the yellow part and in the end to the blue part. Even at a place of about 6 to
32、9 meters underwater, you will look terrible, like a ghost(鬼怪)！And you have to wait for your return to the surface to enjoy the bright colors again!( )1. You miss the object underwater when you want to touch it because_.A. your eyesight is quite poorB. you arc not quick enoughC. it is not as close as
33、 it seemsD. it disappears very quickly( )2.The example of the wet suit is used to explain the change of_ofan object underwater.A. the sizeB. the colorC. the positionD. the weight( )3.The underlined word “descend” probably means_in Chinese in this passage.A.上升B. 漂浮C. 屏息D. 下潜( )4.Which of the followin
34、g is true?A. A four-meler-long fish looks three meters long underwater.B.The wavelengths of red light arc longer than those of blue light.C.Much water will be taken in by the swimmer deep in the waterD.You will see a ghost if you go as deep as 6 to 9 meters into the sea( )5. The best title of this p
35、assage is_.A. The Standard of Color UnderwaterB. The Direction of Light UnderwaterC. The Brightness of Color UnderwaterD. The Behavior of Light UnderwaterFPeople often think of the North Pole and the South Pole as similar frozen (冰凉）wastelands.They are both places with very cold temperatures and few
36、 people live there. However,the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine.The North Pole has no land,only thick ice. Temperatures seldom go above 32 F, at which water turns into ice. Most of the time, it stays below zero. In winter temperatures are usually as low as -30 F.Althou
37、gh conditions were very poor, people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole. About 100 years ago, two men, Robert Peary and Mathew Henson, were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties. They reached the North Pole on March 8th,1909.It was really a hard trip for the
38、m. There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic(北极圈）on foot. People who stayed there may face many problems:very cold temperatures, sudden storms, and even hunger. Most of the area is uninhabited. Few people can live in such a difficult place. People might think that with such low te
39、mperatures for most of the year, the ice would be thick and hard. However, this is not true in the Arctic. The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water called “leads”. Anyone who falls in
40、to a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes.( )1.This passages is probably from .A.a book review B. a science book C. A school report D. a computer magazine( )2.According to the passage, what happened about 100 years ago ?A.Two men succeeded in getting to the North PoleB.Temperatures in the No
41、rth Pole went above 32 FC.The environment in the North Pole suddenly became worseD.The North Pole changed into thick ice because of the temperatures.( )3.What does the underlined word “uninhabited” probably mean in Chinese?A 气候恶劣的 B 充满危险的 C 困难重重的 D 无人居住的( )4.The reason for the ice to break into two
42、opening lanes of water is .A.That the temperature suddenly drops B. that the water under the ice is frozen C. That the ocean water under the ice moves D. that the surface is covered with lots of ice ( )5.What does this passage mainly talk about ?A. The thick ice in the North PoleB.A difficult trip t
43、o the North PoleC.The real situation in the North PoleD.The differences between the North Pole and the South Pole G When people talk to each other, write letters or make phone calls, words of the spoken form of the written form can send any message they want to pass on.But besides words, do you know
44、 any other ways you can use to communicate with people? Rich expressions on your face can be one of them. A smile on your face shows that you are happy. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad or excited. Body languages can do the same job. When you put your hand up in class, the teacher kno
45、ws that you want to say something or you may have some questions to ask. You shake your head from side to side and people know you are saying “no” or refuse others requirements. When you nod, people will understand that you are saying “yes” or agree to others opinions or suggestions.Other forms can
46、also carry different messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop gives passengers on which bus to take. The flag language made by soldiers can pass different orders. Sound from the school bell tells the students and teachers when to begin or end a class. A photographer can use the photos he has taken to tell others about what he thinks of the world around him. Music and films also convey the feelings and ideas of the musicians and the directors. So next time when you see a piece of art or listen to some music, take it
