    17．How many things can you see in the night sky？A lot!On a clear night you might see the Moon，some planets，and thousands of sparkling stars．
        You can see even more with a telescope．And with bigger and bigger telescopes you can see more and more objects in the sky．And you can see those objects in more and more detail．
        But scientists believe there are some things in the sky that we will never see．We won't see them with the biggest telescope in the world，on the clearest night of the year．
        That's because they're invisible．They're the mysterious dead stars called black holes．
        You might find it hard to imagine that stars die．After all，our Sun is a star．Year after year we see it up in the sky，burning brightly，giving us heat and light．The Sun certainly doesn't seem to be getting old or weak．But stars do burn out and die after billions of years．
        As a star's gases burn，they give off light and heat．But when the gas runs out，the star stops burning and begins to die．
        As the star cools，the outer layers of the star pull in toward the center．The star squashes into a smaller and smaller ball．If the star was very small，the star ends up as a cold，dark ball called a black dwarf．If the star was very big，it keeps squashing inward until it's packed together tighter than anything in the universe．
        Imagine if the Earth were crushed until it was the size of a tiny marble．That's how tightly this dead star，a black hole，is packed．What pulls the star in toward its center with such power？It's the same force that pulls you down when you jump--the force called gravity．A black hole is so tightly packed that its gravity sucks in everything--even light．The light from a black hole can never come back to your eyes．That's why you see nothing but blackness．
        So next time you stare up at the night sky，remember：there's more in the Sky than we can see!Scattered in the silent darkness are black holes--the great mystery of space．
    60．According to the article，what causes a star to die？A
    A．As its gases run out，it cools down．
    B．It has a collision with other stars．
    C．It can only live for about a million years．
    D．As it gets hotter and hotter，it explodes．
    61．Which of the following statements is NOT true？A
    A．There is nothing as mysterious as a black hole．
    B．Black holes have gravity．
    C．Black holes are invisible．
    D．Black holes are dead stars．
    62．What happens AFTER a star dies？B
    A．It becomes brighter and easier to see．
    B．It becomes invisible．
    C．It burns up all of its gases．
    D．It fails to Earth．

    9．The World Bank is one of the largest suppliers of development assistance （援助）．Its main goal is to improve living conditions for poor people throughout the world．Last year，it provided more than seventeen thousand million dollars in loans （贷款） for developing countries to help end poverty．

    The World Bank does more than just provide loans，however．It believes that continued poverty reduction comes from investing in the people of a country-especially through education and health programs．

    6．Plants are very important living things．Life could not go on if there were no plants．This is because plants can make food from air，water and sunlight．Animals and man cannot make food from air，water and sunlight．Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals．Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live．This is why we find that there are so many plants around us．
    If you look carefully at the plants around you，you will find that there are two kinds of plants：flowering plants and non-flowering plants．
    Flowering plants can make seeds．The seeds are  protected by the fruits．Some fruits have one seed，some have two，three or four，and some have many seeds．But a few fruits have no seeds at all．An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit．
    Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds．They grow from spores（胚芽）．Spores are very small．Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air．We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds．When these spores are all on wet and shady places，they usually grow into new plants．

    40．The main idea of the first paragraph is thatA．
    A．plants are important for life      
    B．plants cannot grow without air
    C．there are many plants in the world 
    D．we can not live without water
    41．What can we infer（推断） from the passage？D
    A．Of all living things animals are most important
    B．Spores are seeds
    C．All fruits of flowering plants have seeds
    D．Without plants，man will die out
    42．This passage may be taken fromC．
    A．a medicine book                    B．a novel
    C．a science magazine                 D．an experiment report

    13．The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past．With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphone，writing by hand has become something of nostalgic （怀旧的） skill．However，while today's educators are using more and more technology in their teaching，many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful-both in school and in life．
    Virginia Berninger，professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington，says it's important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand．
    Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks-both on a computer and by hand．The study，published in 2009，found that when writing with a pen and paper，participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate．
    In a more recent study，Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student's writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write．"Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary，word meaning and concepts．It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas．"Berninger said．
    Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe （转换）"those words in the mind into written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen，"the study said．Seeing the words in the"mind's eye"helps children not only to turn their ideas into words，says Berninger，but also to spot（发现）spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time．
    "In our computer age，some people believe that we don't have to teach spelling because we have spell checks，"she said．"But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level，they won't have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer．"

    56．What makes writing by hand a thing of the past？A
    A．The use of new technologies in teaching．
    B．The absence of blackboard in classroom．
    C．The lack of practice in handwriting．
    D．The popular use of smartphones．
    57．Which of the following best shows the role of spelling？B
    A．Spelling improves one's memory of words．
    B．Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability．
    C．Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas．
    D．Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas．
    58．What conclusion could be drawn from the passage？D
    A．Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade．
    B．Computers can help people with their choice of words．
    C．Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching．
    D．Handwriting still has a place in today's classrooms．

    10．CThe iPhone，the iPad，each of Apple's products sounds cool and has become a fashion．Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter"i"-and many other brands are following suit．The BBC's iPlayer-which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet-adopted the title in 2008．A lovely bear-popular in the US and UK-that plays music and video is called"iTeddy"．A slimmed down version of London's Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name"i"．
    In general，single-letter prefixes have been popular since the 1990s，when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use．
    Most"i"products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent"i"，it's no surprise that they've selected this fashionable name．
    But it's hard to see what's so special about the letter"i"．Why not use"a"，"b"，or"c"？According to Tony Thorne，head of the Language Center at King's College，London，"i"works because its meaning has become ambiguous．When Apple uses"i"，no one knows whether it means Internet，information，individual or interactive，Thorne told BBC Magazines．"Even when Apple created the iPad，it seems it didn't have one clear definition．"He says．
    "However，thanks to Apple，the term is now associated with portability（轻便）．"Adds Thorne．
    Clearly the letter"i"also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual．Each person believes they have their own needs，and they love personalized products for this reason．
    Along with"Google"and"blog"，readers of BBC Magazines voted"i"as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade．
    But as history shows，people grow tired of fashion．From the 1900s to 1990s，products with"2000"in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern．However，as we entered the new century，the trend disappeared．
    61．People use iPlayer toD．
    A．listen to music   B．make a call  C．read newspapers  D．watch TV programs online
    62．We can infer that the Independent"i"is aimed atC．
    A．fashionable women       B．old readers     C．young readers    D．engineers
    63．The underlined word"ambiguous"in Paragraph 4 meansB．
    A．popular      B．uncertain      C．definite       D．unique
    64．The writer suggests thatA．
    A．the popularity of"i"products may not last long       
    B．iTeddy is a live bear
    C．the letter"b"replaces letter"i"to name the products  
    D．"i"products are often of high quality
    65．Nowadays，the"i"term often reminds people of the products which areA．
    A．portable        B．environmentally friendly     C．advanced      D．recyclable．
