　　Open a large handkerchief out and show both sides of it to your friends．Point out that there is nothing in it; then show them both sides of your hands, which are also empty．Now ask a member of your audience to give you a match．Ask him to put a mark on it with a pen or a pencil．Fold up the handkerchief with the match in it, and let everyone present see you do this．

　　Give the handkerchief to anyone in the audience and say：“Here's the match．Can you feel it? Good! Now I want you to break it into two pieces．”When he or she has broken the match, you say “Would anyone like to feel the broken match in this handkerchief?” several people will probably want to feel it．When they have satisfied themselves that the match really is broken, you say, “Now I'm going to make the match whole again．”Perhaps your friends will say that that is impossible．

　　Hold the handkerchief in one hand and pass your hand or your wand(magic stick)over it, saying：“Abracadabra, abracadabra．”Open the handkerchief and let the match fall on to the table or floor, saying “Presto” as it does so．When the audience examine the match, they will find that it is quite whole and undamaged．The member of the audience will see his mark on the match．Everyone will be amazed!

　　The secret of this trick is quite simple, as in all magic tricks．Long before you do the trick you must do one thing－you must push one of your own matches into the hem(摺边)of the handkerchief．This must he pushed well along the hem so that it cannot fall out or be seen．When you have wrapped up the match provided by a member of the audience you must take care that it is the match in the hem which is broken, and not the other．You should practice the trick in private, of course, before you perform it before an audience．

(1)

[　　]
A．	show the audience what the handkerchief is like
B．	push a match into the hem of the handkerchief

[　　]
A．	trick of replacement
B．	chemical change

D．	quick hand movement

答案：1．D;2．C;3．C;4．A;
解析：

(1)	考查推理判断。根据第一段第二句可知魔术师之所以这么做的目的是想向观众证明里面空无一物，自己没有耍花招。另外，根据生活常识也可判断此项正确。
(2)	考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的第二句可知手绢中其实有“两根”火柴。本段倒数第二句的后半部分也是暗示。
(3)	考查推理判断。魔术师想向观众证明自己可以把折断的火柴恢复得完好如初，所以他说咒语般的语言是假装有超自然的力量在发生。此外，根据生活常识也可以推断此项正确。
(4)	解析：考查推理判断。最后一段揭示了表面现象背后的秘密所在，只不过是偷梁换柱的鬼把戏。　　文章大意：你相信折断的火柴可以被恢复得完好如初吗?本文将教给你一个小魔术，可要仔细学习哟，说不定什么时候你也可以一展身手呢!

阅读理解：

　　“ A band plays in Lumley Park every Sunday afternoon．I often attend these open-air concerts if the weather is fine, because I find it a very restful way of passing time, and because the band plays many kinds of music：dance music, marching music, anything with a tune you can whistle; you know what I mean．”

　　“ One Sunday, there was a blind girl in the front row of the audience, just behind the band-leader．She must have been about fourteen or fifteen years of age, I should think．She had been sitting down until about halfway through the programme, when the band started to play ‘ The Blue Danube’ by Johan Strauss．I’d never heard them play this particular piece before; and there was something magical about the way they played it then．They’d only played a few bars when this blind girl stood up and began waving her arms about in time to the music, just as the band-leader himself was doing．”

　　“ After a while, I could see that more and more members of the band were watching the blind girl instead of the band-leader．And the leader must have noticed this himself, because he turned round and watched her, and saw that she was keeping perfect time．He was a very thoughtful man, that band-leader; I took my hat off to him．He moved to one side little by little, so that the band could see the blind girl better, and after a while he stopped conducting altogether．The band knew the piece quite well, of course, so things weren’t likely to go seriously wrong．But she kept time beautifully, and she made it clear when she wanted certain passages to be loud or soft, just as the band-leader himself had done．Since then, to be quite honest, I’ve never heard ‘The Blue Danube’ played better anywhere．”

　　“ I have seldom heard an audience clap more loudly than that audience, when the music was over．I should think they must have heard the noise on the other side of the town．When the blind girl sat down, even from where I was sitting I could see that there were tears running down her face．”

　　“ And she wasn’t the only one in that audience who was crying, I can tell you．”

　　It was at least two months before Christmas when nine-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bicycle．As Christmas drew near, her desire for a bicycle seemed to fade, or so we thought．We bought the latest rages．Baby-Sitter’s Club dolls, and a doll house．Then, much to our surprise, on December 23^rd, she said that she “really wanted a bike more than anything else．”

　　On Christmas morning, we were excited for Almie to open the little heart-shaped package with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note．Finally, she opened it and read the note aloud．“Does this mean that I trade in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one?”Beaming, I said,“Yes．”Almie had tears in her eyes when she replied,“I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me．I’d rather keep this than get a real bike．”At that moment, we would have moved heaven and earth to buy every bicycle on the planet!

　　Institutional construction is needed to guarantee public participation in environmental protection, says a commentary in Dazhong Daily．An excerpt follows．

　　The State Environment Protection Administration(SEPA)last week released a set of guidelines on public participation in environmental impact(影响)assessment, encouraging direct involvement from the general public in the country’s environmental affairs．

　　This is the first official document on public involvement in the environmental sector, which will make government decisions in the sector more transparent and democratic．Last year, a series of environment issues plunged SEPA into an administrative accountability(问责)storm．The issues include a construction project that could lead to an ecological disaster in the Old Summer Palace in Beijing, water pollution in the Songhua Rive and disputes over the construction of a dam on the Nujing River．Then came the“environment impact assessment storm,”which showed the efforts made by the government in this aspect．

　　Although there are some articles on public involvement in the Environment Impact Assessment Law, they are very ambiguous and not practical．The temporary measures give specific arrangement procedures．It gives recognition and respect to the public rights to environment participation, and also shows the government’s open mind for better environment participation．But such a right of participation is still partial in the assessment stage．There is still a lack of arrangements in the policy-making and law-enforcement phases．

　　In a modern society, every citizen has a right to live in a good environment．Citizens should be able to participate based on their rights t know．Marking such temporary measures is a good way to realize citizens'right to participate．But more should be included, such as citizens'rights to participate in law-making, policy-making and law-enforcement．There should be an open mechanism to provide environment information, and a democratic system encouraging the public to participate in decision-making concerning the environment．

(1)

Which is not the last year’s environment issue?
[　　]
A．	a construction project leading to an ecological disaster in the Old Summer Palace
B．	water pollution in the Songhua River
C．	disputes over the construction of a dam on the Nujing River
D．	measures to guarantee public participation in environmental protection

(2)

The underlined word“transparent”in the third paragraph probably means?
[　　]
A．	clear
B．	doubt
C．	temporary
D．	clean

(3)

The best title of this passage is ________．
[　　]
A．	Public can help environment
B．	The serious environmental problems
C．	The government can protect the environment
D．	The public’s rights

(4)

Which of the following is not the citizens'right to help environmental protection?
[　　]
A．	the right to participate in making laws
B．	the right to be responsible for environmental disasters
C．	the right to participate in making policies
D．	the right to participate in law-enforcement

　　These days, it's easy to fly across oceans for vacation．Centuries ago, however, crossing the open seas required thorough and accurate planning, handmade boats, and courage．Scientists and historians have long been looking for clues to explain who crossed which oceans first．When it comes to the trip between Polynesia(玻利尼西亚中太平洋群岛)and South America, chickens may have been among the first ocean voyagers, according to new evidence．

　　After studying an ancient chicken bone, anthropologists(人类学家)from the University of Auckland in New Zealand now say that people and chickens traveled from Polynesia to what is now Chile(智利)by about 620 years ago．By then, the Inca people were already living in South America, but the Polynesians would have been the first to get there by sea．Previous theories claimed that European explorers and their chickens sailed to South America first -- but those voyagers didn't arrive until about a century later．

　　In 2002, archaeologists dug up 50 chicken bones from a site in Chile called El Arenal．The team from New Zealand analyzed one to these bones．According to their calculations, the bone is about 650 years old．

　　The researchers also compared the genetic material, or DNA, from the South American chicken bone with DNA from 11 chicken bones that had been found on the Polynesian islands of Tonga and American Samoa．These islands are 6,000 miles west of Chile．The bones found on the Polynesian islands are been 600 and 2,000 years old．

　　Results of the comparisons showed that the chicken bones from both the Polynesian and South American sites had part of DNA in common．The researchers found the same part of DNA in feathers of two living chickens in Chile that belong to a modem breed that lays blue eggs．That DNA evidence suggests a close relationship among the chickens．

　　"However, the weight of scientific evidence is now behind the hypothesis(假设)that it was seafaring(航海)Polynesians who sailed from the islands to South America and returned," says archaeologist Patrick V．Kirch of the University of California, Berkeley．

(1)

What is the passage mainly about?
[　　]
A．	It was difficult for ancient people to travel between Polynesia and South America．
B．	The first people who lived in Chile and Polynesia．
C．	Valuable chicken bones have been found in Chile．
D．	Chickens－the first to travel between Polynesia and South America．

(2)

When did the first European explorers reach South America?
[　　]
A．	About 520 years ago．
B．	About 2.000 years ago．
C．	About 600 years ago．
D．	About 620 years ago．

(3)

People found that chickens were among the first to travel from Polynesia to South America by _________．
[　　]
A．	comparing the colors of eggs laid by chickens from the two places
B．	comparing the DNA of chicken bones dug up on the Polynesian islands and that of the chicken bones from South America
C．	studying some previous theories
D．	asking the natives of South America

(4)

What do we learn from the passage?
[　　]
A．	European explorers and their chickens were the first to sail to South America．
B．	Chickens in South America have the same ancestors as those in Polynesia．
C．	In ancient times, a 6,000-mile channel separated Polynesia from South America．
D．	Before the Polynesians arrived in South America, the Inca people had lived there．'

　Force other than damaging winds are also at work inside tornadoes (龙卷风). Sometimes, as the turning,
jumping funnel (漏斗) passes over a house, the walls and ceiling burst apart as if a bomb had gone off inside.
This explosion (爆炸) is caused by the low air pressure at the center of a tornado. 　　
    The pressure at the center of a tornado is usually 13 pounds per square inch. However, inside the house
the air pressure is normal, about 15 pounds per square inch. The difference of 2 pounds per square inch
between the inside and outside pressure may not seem like much. But suppose a tornado funnel passes over
a small building that measures 20 by 10 by 10 feet. On each square inch of the building, there is 2 pounds of
pressure from the inside that is not balanced by air pressure outside the building. On the ceiling, that adds up
to an unbalanced pressure of 57,600 pounds. The pressure on the four walls adds up to 172,800 pounds. 　　
    If windows are open in the building, some of the inside air will rush out through them. This will balance
the pressure inside and outside the building. But if the windows are shut tightly, the great inside pressure may
cause the building to burst. 　　
    Unfortunately, heavy rain happens in thunderstorms that later produce tornadoes. So, people often shut all
windows to protect their property. This may cause far worse damage later.

1. Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?

[ ]

A. Where tornadoes are formed. 　　
B. When tornadoes usually occur. 　　
C. How tornadoes can be prevented. 　　
D. Why tornadoes cause so much damage.

2. According to the passage, tornadoes can destroy building because the _____.

[ ]

A. force of a tornado increases the air pressure in a building 　　
B. air pressure at the center of a tornado is over 172,000 pounds 　　
C. weight of a tornado can crush a building's roof when it passes overhead 　　
D. air pressure inside a tornado is less than the air pressure inside a building

3. According to the passage, the pressure on a building during a tornado can be reduced by _____.

[ ]

A. closing the windows 　　　　　
B. opening the windows 　　
C. using an electric fan 　　　　
D. making the roof and walls stronger
