A (2019遂宁改编)
What is the sky? How high is it? What color is it? What birds can live above it? These questions are difficult to answer, aren't they? In fact, the sky has no color. Then why does the sky look blue?
We know that there is air around the world. When planes fly, they need air to lift their wings. Planes can't fly very high. That is because the air gets thinner when they go higher. The same will happen to us if we go high enough. If we go up about 1,200 kilometers from the earth, we'll find no air there. Some birds can fly into the sky as high as a plane, but they cannot fly or live without air.
Looking up above us, you will see the blue sky with white clouds. It is usually light blue. The color would be bluer when you see on the top of a high mountain. And you will see fewer clouds in the sky between you and the sun. Sometimes the sky doesn't look blue. When the sun rises and falls, you will see red, orange, and other colors in the sky. Such are the most beautiful moments of the day.
Who can see the colors of the sky high above the earth? The astronauts! They can see those beautiful colors of the sky from the outer space. However, before flying into the outer space, they sit in a spaceship high above the earth, and there is no air at all. The sky would be that dark and its color would be black.
Now you may understand that we see colors because the air scatters(使散射) the sunlight. Light travels through the air. Without air, there would be no colors.
1. Planes can’t fly as high as possible because ________. A. the sky is blue
B. the wings are heavier C. the air becomes thinner D. the sky has no air
2. When you stand on the top of a high mountain, you will see ________. A. more air
B. fewer clouds D. redder skies
C. more colors
3. In Suining, we might see many colors in the sky at about ________ during the day in summer. A. 7:00 p.m. C. 1:00 p.m
B. 9:00 a.m D. 3:00 p.m
4. Which is the best title(标题)? A. Why does the sky look blue? B. Why can't planes fly very high? C. Why does the sky change colors?
D. Why can the astronauts see the colors of the sky?
B (2019泰州改编)
British roads are some of the safest in the world. A study in 2018 compared more than 30 countries and found that 3.8 people per 100,000 died in traffic accidents in the UK. This number was lower than any other country. Here are five top suggestions for drivers who are planning a trip to the UK.
People in Britain drive on the left side of the road. In fact, a long time ago, people drove on the left in most countries, but now only a few countries have this.
British people feel that waiting should be fair for everybody. If you are in a queue(长队) of traffic, then don't try to push past the cars in front of yours. This is called “jumping the queue”. You must wait for your turn.
You must stop at the traffic lights when they are red. In many countries, it is OK to go past the red lights if you are turning a corner. In the UK, you could have a lot of trouble if you do this.
