There is a story, saying that whenever you see a rainbow you should run at once to the place where it touches the ground, and there you would find a pot of gold. Of course it is not true. Neither you could find gold, nor would you ever find its end. No matter how far you run, it always seems far away. A rainbow is not a thing which we can feel with our hands as we can feel a flower. It is only the effect of light shining on raindrops. The raindrops catch the sunlight and break it up into all the wonderful colours which we see. It is called a rainbow perhaps because it is made up of raindrops and looks like a bow(弓). That is why we can never see a rainbow in a clear sky. We see rainbows only when there is rain in the air and the sun is shining brightly through the clouds. Every rainbow has many colours in the same order. The first or the top colours is always red, next comes orange, then green, and last of all, blue. A rainbow is indeed one of the wonders of nature. 51. We can not feel _______with our hands. A. gold B. a flower C. a rainbow D. a raindrop 52. We can see a rainbow________. A. when it is raining heavily B. when it is snowing C. in a clear sky D. When it becomes fine shortly after raining. 53. The first color of a rainbow is always_______. A. yellow B. red C. green D. blue B Have you ever been ill? When you are ill，you must be unhappy because your body becomes hot，and there are pains all over your body. You don't want to work，you stay in bed，feeling very sad. What makes us ill? It is germs(细菌). Germs are everywhere. They are very small and you can't find them with your eyes，but you can see them with a microscope. They are very small and there could be hundreds of them on a very small thing. Germs are always found in dirty water. When we look at dirty water under the microscope，we shall see them in it. So your father and mother will not let you drink dirty water. Germs aren't found only in water. They are found in air and dust. If you cut your finger，if some of the dust from the floor goes into the cut，some of the germs would go into your finger. Your finger would become big and red，and you will have much pain in it. Sometimes the germs would go into all of your body，and you would have pain everywhere. 54. What is a microscope used for? A. Making very small things look much bigger. B. Making very big things look much smaller. C. Helping you read some newspapers. D. Helping you if you can't see things clearly. 55. Why don't your parents let you drink dirty water? A. You haven't looked at it carefully. B. Water can't be drunk in this way. C. There must be lots of germs in it. D. Water will make you ill. 56. Which of the following is NOT true? A. Germs can be found both in water and in the air. B. Germs can go into your finger if it is cut. C. If your temperature is not OK，there must be germs in your body. D. If your finger isn't cut，there aren't any germs on it. 57. What's the main idea of the passage? A. Germs may make us ill. B. Germs are in dirty water. C. Don't drink dirty water. D. Take care of your fingers. C Reading Oliver James'Affluenza, I thought about what often happens at home. My 12-year-old daughter is in tears. "I have to take a test tomorrow. I don't understand any of it," she cries out. After shouting and shutting her door, she calms down enough to go through her notes. The following day I ask her how the test went and she just says "OK,I got a nine". "Wow，well done!" I say before she finishes with "But I never get a ten!" According to James, this obsession with getting top marks has been a bad development, which encourages people to think of education in terms of work and money. T o test this, I asked my daughter why she was so worried about her tests. She looked at me as if I was sick." Well, if I don't get good grades, I won't be able to afford nice things like a car and stuff." I was quite surprised, because I don't consider myself a pushy parent. But James suggests and it leaves students feeling failures even if they are very bright. He points to the Danish system（体 制）of education as a better model. Creating happy citizens who have good social skills is seen as more important than high achievements at school or the needs of business. For me, I cannot remember the last time I had to work out the area of a circle, recite a Shakespeare poem or grammar rules, yet I have lived a happy life. What I really needed to learn at school was how to make polite conversations, or how to avoid (避免)getting into debt or how to develop good personality. This is in fact similar towhat Oliver James really has in mind. And he is looking for schools where students are encouraged to find and follow their own interests, something more like Tongjon .Tongjon has been developed in some Korean private schools. It is quite different from the more rigid system of learning things by heart that is used in Korea, and indeed in many other school systems around the world. As the Russian poet Pushkin said, "Inspiration(灵感）is needed in geometry(几何学）just as much as in poetry ",and inspiration does not come from endlessly revising for tests or getting worried about them . 58. What does the writer probably think of his/her daughter? A. She sets herself a goal too high to reach. B. She should be more polite to her parents. C. She’s hard-working but not very bright. D. She takes her grades much too seriously. D Every day, it is easy to see advertisements in English all around us. Look at your own bags and clothes, and the bags and clothes of your classmates.
