三．阅读理解

Do you know more about science than your parents do?

At a big science show in England in November 2011, 2,000 moms and dads were asked(被问到) what

kind of questions their kids had about science.

17
Lesson 2·Module 2 My home town and my country

Most of the parents said they found it hard to answer their children’s questions. A few of them said their

kids know more about science than they did.

The five questions are the most difficult for their parents:

1. Why is the moon sometimes out during the day?

2. Why is the sky blue?

3. Will we find aliens(外星人)?

4. How much does the earth weigh(称重)?

5. How do planes stay in the air?

Less than half of them would try to find the answers. Some parents said they made up(编造) answers,

or said that no one knew. Others said, “Go and ask your mother(father).”

“If parents don't know the answer to a question, they should work with their children to work it out,”

Brian Cox, a professor who helped with the science show, said. That way, not only will they have fun, but

also they will learn something new.

( ) 1. How many parents were asked at the science show?

A. 2,000 B. 2,011 C. 3,000 D. 500

( ) 2. What did parents think of their children’s questions?

A. They were easy to answer. B. They were hard to answer.

C. They were boring. D. They were creative.

( ) 3. From the passage we know that________.

A. parents know more about science than their kids do

B. kids know nothing about science

C. parents can’t answer all of the kid’s science questions

D. kids know everything about science

( ) 4. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?

A. It mainly tells us that kids’ science questions are hard.

B. It mainly tells us the questions the kids ask.

18

Unit 1 It’s taller than many other buildings.

Tony: Hey, Daming! How was your weekend?

Daming: _Pretty_ good! I went to Shenzhen.

Tony: Where’s Shenzhen?

Daming: Well, it’s on the coast near Hong Kong. It was a small village

about thirty years ago, but today it’s a very big city.

Tony: So it’s a _newer_ city than Hong Kong?

Daming: Yes, it’s a very new city. In fact, it only became important in the

1980s. it’s getting bigger and busier. Someday it will become as big as

Hong Kong, I’m sure.

Tony: What’s the _population_ of Shenzhen?

Daming: It’s over ten million, I think. That’s larger than the population

of many other cities in China. Its streets are much wider and cleaner too.

I think it’s a beautiful city.

Tony: I’d like to go there one day.

other buildings in Shenzhen.

Unit 2 Cambridge, London and England

I come from Cambridge, a beautiful city _in the east_ of England. It

is on the River Cam and _has a population of_ about 120,000. My home

town is especially famous for its university. Many famous people studied

here, such as Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin. There are lots of old

buildings and churches to visit. Students and tourists enjoy trips along

the river by boat.

Cambridge is 80 kilometres from London. London is in the south of

England and it is on the River Thames. It has a population of about seven

and a half million, so it is bigger and busier than Cambridge. It is about

2,000 years old, and it is famous for Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and

Tower Bridge.

England itself is part of an island, and you are always near the sea.

The small villages and beaches on the coast are popular for holidays.

Tourists like the areas of low mountains and beautiful lakes in the north,

and the hills and pretty villages in the south. Everywhere in England, you

will notice how green the _countryside_ is.

It is never very hot in summer or very cold in winter. So come and

see England any time of the year, but bring an umbrella with you. You

will need it most days.
