The egg in the salt water floats.(If the salt water egg does not float well, mix more salt into the bowl.)The wat
17、er and salt particles（粒子）in the salt water bowl are closer together than plain water particles are.

What is a Hoverboard? A hoverboard is a two-wheeled personal transportation device （设备）. Its electrical and be
20、came highly popular in 2015 because of a popular 1980s movie. Usually, this self-balancing device operates like a powered skateboard. _The device may have many designs, but the mechanism itself is simple. Basically, a standard hoverboard includes:Battery: stores the electrical power. Almost all hove
21、rboards use a high-watt lithium-ion battery（高瓦锂电池）.Gyroscope （one for each wheel）: allows riders to tilt （倾斜） the hoverboard while keeping balance and changing their direction.Motor （one in each wheel）: provides the power to the wheels to keep the rider balanced and upright.Logic board: uses as the
22、hoverboard brain. It deals with data-your speed, tilt, etc.-and sends information to the motors. This unit controls the power of the board so riders can change their speed.All the above work together to control the power and tilt of the hoverboards so the rider is balanced, upright and moving at a s
23、uitable speed.Where is a hoverboard legal （合法）? Although hoverboards are wildly popular, they are still not “streetlegal”. At present, some places dont allow anyone under 16 to use these devices, like campus buildings, parks, shopping malls and subway stations. Some places have also put speed limits
24、 on the devices and set a limit to their use to bike paths. However, you are free to enjoy in open areas, including your yard.28Which of the following is the most suitable title for _?AWhy Buy a Hoverboard?BHow Does a Hoverboard Work?CHow to Use a Hoverboard?DHow is a Hoverboard Made?29According to

26、ere tired and weak from loss of blood.I, too, was more tired than I could remember ever being. We rested, therefore, for many days before we even thought about the future. Then, when we were strong enough to travel again, I said to Ignosi,“You promised me diamonds if I helped you to become king.” “I
27、 did,” he said. “I will keep my promise. But, only Gagool knows where to find them, and I must kill her and the other witches.” “There has been enough killing,” I said. “Tell the old woman that if she will lead us to the diamonds, you will spare her life.” Ignosi thought about this for a long time,
28、and then he said, “I will speak to the woman and tell you what she says.” Ignosi was as good as his word, and he persuaded Gagool. Three days later. Sir Henry, Captain Good, Foulata the girl who owed her life to Captain Good and Infadoos were climbing the mountains called the Three Witches. Some war
29、riors (战士) carried Gagool. She screamed and cursed (诅咒) continuously, but she knew where the diamonds were. And at last, we came to a deep hole in the ground. It had sloping sides and was not a natural hole. It was the work of miners.Huge statues guarded the mine. I remembered that King Solomon wors
30、hipped (崇拜) some strange gods.“Could these be statues of those gods?” I asked Sir Henry, who knew much about ancient history.“It is possible,” he said. “The Phoenicians were great merchants and builders. They built King Solomons Temple. Perhaps they dug this mine for him.“We want to go into the mine
31、,” I told Gagool.“It is the Place of Death,” she said, “but if you want to enter, then I will lead the way.”The statues guarded a tunnel that led into the heart of the mine. Gagool led the way, and we followed. At first, the tunnel was dark. Then we saw a light at the end. When we reached the end of
32、 the passage (过道) , it opened into the most amazing place. It was a huge caveas big as a cathedral. There were carvings everywhere and giant stalactites.Gagool continued walking through the cave until she came to another tunnel. She stopped talking and turned.“This will take you into the Place of De
33、ath,” she said. “Are you sure you want to continue?”31Who might build the statues guiding the tunnel?APhoeniciansBGodsCWitchesDThe king32When Ignosi persuaded Gagool, he most probably _.Asucceeded in asking her to guide themBforced her to guide them.Ctried to kill herDlet her leave away alive33What
34、can we infer from the passage?AIgnosi wanted to kill Gagool because he wanted to get the diamonds.BSir Henry and Captain Good asked Gagool to guide them to the diamonds.CIgnosi might be the real king of some country.DGagool finally led them to the diamonds.We can achieve knowledge either actively or
35、 passively. We achieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning.We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is
36、passive. As we are used to passive learning, its not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers.Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is nothing but hearsay and rumor(谣言).Did you
37、ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesnt show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down t
38、he message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are compared. Typically, the original message has changed.Thats what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And
39、many enjoy adding their own creative understanding to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping it with their own personal style. Yet those who hear it think they know.This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be re-stated as fact by another, wh
40、o may in turn be quoted(引用) by yet another; and this process may continue, unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the explanation he placed upon those facts.34According to the passage, active learning may take place in _.Aread
41、ing interesting travel journalsBcarrying out scientific researchClistening to the teacher in classDwatching news programs on TV35What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to _.Aactive learningBnewspapersCpassive learningDclassroom36The game Rumor mentioned in Paragraph 4 shows that _.
42、Aa message may be changed when being passed onBpeople like telling lies when playing gamesCplaying games can make people more activeDpeople may have problems with their sense of hearing37What can be inferred from the text?AScholars and authors cant be trusted.BActive learning matters more than passi
43、ve learning.CPeople like spreading rumors in daily life.DPassive learning may not be reliable(可靠的).四、根据汉语提示填空38Between China and the US, the most important thing is to reach an _ (一致) and to avoid a trade war.39This kind of plant will _ (必定地) die if you put it in the sun and never water it.40They ar
