三、阅读理解20分 Passage 1
Although April did not bring us the rains we all hoped for，and although the Central Valley doesn’t generally experience the sound and lightning that can go with those rains，it’s still important for parents to be able to answer the youthful questions about thunder and lightning．
The reason these two wonders of nature are so difficult for many adults（成年人）to explain to children is that they are not very well understood by adults themselves．Fox example，did you know that the lightning we see flashing down to the earth from a cloud is actually flashing up to a cloud from the earth？Our eyes trick us into thinking we see a downward motion when it’s actually flashing up to a cloud from the earth？Our eyes trick us into thinking we see a downward motion when it’s actually the other way around．But then，if we believed only what we think and we see，we’d still insist that the sun rises in the morning and sets at night．
Most lightning flashes take place inside a cloud，and only a relative few can be seen jumping between two clouds or between earth and a cloud．But，with about 2000 thunderstorms taking place above the earth every minute of the day and night，there’s enough activity to produce about 100 lightning strikes on earth every second．
Parents can use thunder and lightning to help their children learn more about the world around them．When children understand that the light of lightning flashing reaches their eyes almost at the same moment，but the sound of the thunder takes about 5 seconds to travel just one mile，they can begin to time the interval（间隔）between the flash and the crash to learn how close they were to the actual spark（闪光）．
51．According to the author，in the area of the Central Valley，_____． A．rains usually come without thunder and lightning B．it is usually dry in April
C．children pay no attention to the two natural wonders D．parents are not interested in thunder and lightning
52．We believe that lightning is a downward motion because _____．
A．we were taught so by our sense of vision B．we are taken in by our sense of vision C．it is a common natural sight D．it is a truth proved by science 53．What is true about lightning according to the passage？_____ A．Only a small number of lightning flashes occur on earth． B．Lightning travels 5 times faster than thunder．
C．Lightning flashes usually jump from one cloud to another．
D．There are far more lightning strikes occurring on earth than we can imagine． 54．The underlined word“activity”is most closely related to the word（s）_____． A．“cloud” B．“lightning strikes” C．“lightning flashes” D．“thunderstorms” 55．It can be concluded from passage that _____． A．we should not believe what we see or hear B．things moving downward are more noticeable
C．people often have wrong ideas about ordinary phenomena（现象） D．adults are not as good as children in observing certain natural phenomena
