An Experiment Report on Growing Potato Plants

   Things prepared：

   a potato that has sprouts

   a flower pot with soil

   a camera to record progress

Observation：

Day One

The color of the soil looks darker because I have just watered it． In the center of the pot， I can see a tiny sprout that has grown from the potato under the soil． I'll call it Buddy． Buddy is green and yellow． I wonder how fast it will grow．

Day Six

Without much change in the past six days， I finally see some new progress on Buddy as it has grown taller It's exciting to see new life like this． I hope Buddy can grow faster．

Day Eleven

Buddy is getting larger! Three more new sprouts have grown around Buddy! Green leaves have grown on the new sprouts， but they have not fully grown yet． I guess I need to be a bit more patient．

Day Thirteen

Buddy continues to grow taller． The leaves on the new sprouts have grown a bit．I'm also excited to see more new sprouts that have grown from under the soil．

Day Fifteen

Finally， the leaves on the other sprouts are 3 cm tall． They' re so green． I hope they will soon grow into new potatoes．

What I have learned

It's really interesting to grow potatoes． During these fifteen days， I have learned that growing potato plants needs plenty of water． If the soil is dry， the potato will fail to grow． I have also learned that the temperature needs to be right． If it is too cold， it won't grow．

I feel that growing plants is just like trying to succeed with anything in life ﹣ it takes not only time， but also lots of efforts and patience．

（1）The reading material is an experiment report about 　　．

A．	chemistry
B．	physics
C．	biology

（2）How many things did the writer prepare before her experiment？

B．	Nervous．
C．	Surprised．

（4）What can we know from the writer 's experiment report？ 　　

A．	"Buddy" grew very fast in the first six days．
B．	Plenty of water is necessary for growing potato plants．
C．	The writer got new potatoes on the fifteenth day of the experiment．

（5）What has the writer learned from the experiment？ 　　

A．	Old habits die hard．
B．	Rome wasn't built in one day．
C．	Knowledge comes from questioning．

What will the world of the future be like？ There are plenty of people who are happy to give their opinion of what we will be doing in 2050． Here are two predictions about the world of tomorrow．

When we dream about the future， many like to think of owning a personal flying car． The advantages are obvious． This technology would allow total freedom of movement． We could fly at 480 km per hour， avoiding traffic lights and busy roads．

However， some people believe there will be problems with traffic control． If the cars become popular， there is likely to be air traffic jam． Another big problem is mechanical failure． What will happen if the cars stop working？ These are problems we must expect if flying cars become a reality．

Three﹣dimensional printing is another new technology with exciting possibilities． 3D printers are used to build an object with liquid plastic．They build the object layer by layer until it is complete． Car companies already use 3D printers to make life﹣size models of car parts， and medical companies use the technology to make man﹣made body parts． As we move into the future， 3D printing will revolutionize the way we shop， the way we manufacture and the way we treat sick people． The disadvantage is that such equipment will be extremely expensive．

So in the future， we might be able to fly to work or print out new shoes.Although there are some problems to solve before this will be possible， we can certainly dream of a world where technology makes life easier and safer for millions of people．

（1）What is the passage mainly about？ 　　

A．	Environmental protection．
B．	The world of tomorrow．
C．	Advantages of technology．

（2）What do we learn from the passage？ 　　

A．	Some people think technology development may bring new problems．
B．	3D printing can bring great changes to our life and its equipment is cheap．
C．	The flying cars won't bring air traffic jam even when they become popular．

（3）What is the correct structure of the passage？ （P _I＝Paragraph1） 　　

A．
B．
C．

（4）What does the underlined word "they" refer to？ 　　

A．	Car companies．
B．	3D printers
C．	Body parts．

（5）We can infer that the writer 　　about the future life with technology？

A．	doesn't care
B．	feels hopeful
C．	feels disappointed

Many people love travelling to different countries， but if you plan to go abroad， you should know how to behave in different situations around the world．

Most travellers enjoy meeting new people， but sometimes you can be rude without saying anything． In Russia， you should never shake hands in a doorway， and if you're travelling in Thailand， never touch people's heads or point your feet at people． When the Japanese meet new people， they like giving business cards﹣﹣but you should read the card carefully， not just put it in your pocket．

In most countries in Europe people expect a lot of eye contact when you talk to them， but in many Asian countries a lot of eye contact seems unfriendly．And in South America people usually stand quite close to each other when they talk， but in countries like the USA you need to give people more personal space． Also， it's rude to interruptJapanese people while they are talking to you． You must wait until they finish before you start speaking．

In restaurants in China you can leave a bit of food on your plate， it's OK to start smoking before other people finish eating， which you mustn't do in the UK． When in India， remember to eat with your right hand． Also avoid leaving empty bottles on the dinner table in Russia﹣﹣that's bad luck．

When you're travelling in Asia， if someone invites you to his or her home， don' t forget to take off your shoes when you arrive． And if you visit an Arab family's home， don' t admire anything valuable because your host will feel he should give it to you as a present．

With so much to think about， it's not surprising that many people prefer going on holiday in their own countries﹣﹣or you might just decide to stay at home!

（1）Which of the following statements is TRUE？ 　　

A． We can admire anything valuable in an Arab family's home．

B． In China， people cannot smoke before other people finish eating．

C． In Russia， it's impolite to shake hands with people in a doorway．

（2）What does the underlined word"interrupt "mean in Chinese？ 　　

A．	跟随
B．	打断
C．	附和

（3）What is the correct order of the subheadings（ 小标题）from Paragraph 2 to Paragraph 5？ 　　

①Eating out

②In the home

③Body language

④Face﹣to﹣ face communication

A．	②③④①
B．	④①②③
C．	③④①②

（4）What does the writer want to tell us？ 　　

A．	Practice makes perfect．
B．	Where there is a will， there is a way．
C．	When in Rome． do as the Romans do．

（5）What is the best title for the passage？ 　　

A．	A Culture Shock
B．	Table Manners
