Crossing Texas and Mexico, the Big Bend region is high in biodiversity(生物的多样性). It’s a place so untamed that if something doesn’t bite, stick, or sting, it’s probably a rock.
You know you have arrived in the heart of the Chihuahuan Desert when it feels as if you have fallen off the edge of the earth and into the rabbit hole. Nothing is as it appears. Moths (蛀虫) are the size of birds. Are those twin pillars (柱) of black rock (a landmark known as Mule Ear Peaks) ten miles (16 kilometers) away or fifty (80 kilometers)? Visibility (能见度) reaches more than a hundred miles on a clear day, and since there are few roads or buildings to use as milestones, distance is difficult to judge.
This is a place where water runs uphill, where rainbows have to wait for rain. The line between myth (虚构的故事) and reality is unclear. Stare long enough at the Chisos Mountains or the Sierra del Carmen, the two mountain ranges, known as sky islands, which lie on the land, and they rise and float above the plain.
The vast Chihuahuan Desert is a land of no people. There is always the chance you’ll die of thirst. The “You Can Die”possibilities are endless, and keep some visitors — 350,000 a year to Big Bend National Park, built in 1944 — from coming back. Those who do return are left to think of the remarkable courage of the brave few who have managed to survive in this terrible environment.
【小题1】The underlined word“untamed”in Paragraph 1 means“________”.

A.untouchedB.wildC.unchangedD.fresh
【小题2】Why do the twin pillars of black rock seem ten or fifty miles away?
A.They were put so far away.
B.They lie across the Chihuahuan Desert.
C.It is difficult to judge the distance, with few milestones.
D.One lies in the Chisos Mountains, the other in the Sierra del Carmen.
【小题3】How many years are there since the Big Bend National Park was built?
A.350,000 years.B.350 years.C.66 years.D.44 years.
【小题4】What is the passage mainly about?
A.The natural wonders of the Chihuahuan Desert.
B.Everything you see is not what it seems in the Chihuahuan Desert.
C.The terrible environment of deserts in Texas and Mexico.
D.A special place where none who go can return.
【小题5】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.There are all kinds of living things in the Chihuahuan Desert.
B.No people live in the Big Bend region.
C.Nothing is as it appears in the Big Bend region.
D.Traveling in the Big Bend region is dangerous.

No one can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting.

For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. That many people feel their joints(关节) hurt is a sign of wet weather. Some birds fly high if the weather is fine, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come.

Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.

1.Which is true about weather forecasting?

A.Weather forecasting is a way of telling what the weather will be like.

B.Weather forecasting is a report about the weather.

C.Weather forecasting is a sign of coming rain.

D.People can change the weather forecasting.

2.Which of the following can be used here to replace the underlined phrase “on the way”?

A.continuing         B.reducing.          C.coming.           D.disappearing.

3.Which of the following signs can tell the weather will probably be rainy?

A.Some birds fly high.

B.A rainbow appears in the morning.

C.The sunset is mostly red in colour.

D.Fogs appear in the morning just above a river.

4.The best title of the passage is _______.

A.Weather forecasting plays an important role in our life

B.Weather forecasting can bring people some signs of weather

C.Weather is forecasted only by eyes and brains.

D.People can predict weather by experience in daily life

.

We typically associate the word “science” with a person in a white coat doing experiments in a laboratory. Ideally, experiments should play as big a role in the human sciences as they do in the natural sciences; but in practice this is not usually the case. The are at least three reasons for this.

1.Human scientists are often trying to make sense of complex real world situations in which it is simply impossible to run controlled experiment.

2.The artificiality of some of the experiments that can be conducted may make the behavior of the participants abnormal.

3.There are moral reasons for not conducting experiments that have a negative effect on the people who participate in them.

Faced with the above difficulties, what are human scientists to do? One solution is to wait for nature to provide the appropriate experimental conditions. We can, for example, learn something about how a normal brain functions by looking at people who have suffered brain damage; and we can gain some understanding into the roles played by genes and the environment by studying twins, who have been separated at birth and brought up in different families. In the case of economics, economic history can provide us with a bank of-admittedly not very well-controlled-experimental data.

However, human scientists do not just sit around waiting for natural experiments to arise. They also think of some experiments of their own. Suppose you want to know how a baby sees the world. We cannot, of course, ask the baby since it has not yet learnt to speak. So it might seem that all we can do is guess. People usually won’t change their mind until it was found out that babies tend to stare at surprising things longer than at unsurprising ones. This key understanding was like opening a window on to the developing mind. There was now a way of testing babies’ expectations and getting some idea of how they are six months old, babies can already do the following things: figuring out that objects consist of parts that move together being aware of the difference between living and non-living things and even doing simple arithmetic work.

60.What is true about the natural sciences and the human sciences according to this passage?

A.Both human scientists and natural scientists can run controlled experiments.

B.Experiments done by human scientists and natural scientists are artificial.

C.Both human and natural science experiments should be of the same importance.

D.It’s not moral to conduct human science experiments.

61.What do we know about human scientists from this passage?

A.They are white coat scientists.

B.They have more experimental sources than natural scientists.

C.They conduct experiments passively.

D.They face more difficulties in carrying out their research.

62.Which of the following experiments belongs to human science experiment?

A.Vinegar Volcano Vinegar and baking soda make. for a fun and easy science experiment. Try creating a vinegar volcano.

B.Taste Without Smell Put your senses to the test with this simple experiment that shows the

importance of your sense of smell.

C.Lung Function Observe your breath and confirm your lung volume by completing this experiment.

D.Make a Rainbow Use sunlight and water to make your own rainbow with this cool experiment

that will teach kids how rainbows work while they enjoy a fun activity

63.What does the author tell us in this passage?

A.ABCs about the science experiment.

B.Some knowledge of science.

C.Some differences between the human sciences and the natural sciences.

D.The similarity of the natural sciences and the human sciences.
