Mary picked up a pencil and a piece of paper,saying,“Now,you want to earn money for the autumn camping trip,right?” Tom,her brother,nodded.He wasn’t able to go last year because he hadn’t earned enough money during the summer.This year he came up with a plan.
He made a necklace for his mother that everyone admired.They were surprised to learn that Tom had made it for her.Why not make more necklaces and sell them?
“OK,” said Mary,“The first thing you need to do is to figure out(計(jì)算)how much you have now.’’
“I have $20.00 in the bank,and $7.25 in my room,” explained Tom.
“That gives you a total of $27.25,” said Mary,“That is called your capital.The next thing you need to know is how much it will cost you to make each necklace.”
“Well,the pet shop will give me all the feathers the birds lose.I'll have to buy the beads(小珠子)and string,” said Tom.
Mary wrote on the piece of paper:
CAPITAL      $27.25
EXPENSES     Feathers                       no cost
String for 10 necklaces        $  2.50
Beads for 10 necklaces   +    $ 15.00
Total                        $ 17.50
“How much do you think you can sell such a necklace for?” asked Mary.
“Hmm,” Tom looked thoughtful and said,“There's a shop in town that sells almost the same kind of necklace for $ 7.50.If I charge(要價(jià))$ 6.00,people will think that's a bargain.”
“OK.If you sell each necklace for $ 6.00,you'll make a good profit(利潤(rùn))on each then,” said Mary.
“Hurray!” Tom cried,“If I sell 20 necklaces,I'll have enough from the profit for the camping trip and $10.00 left over.”
小題1:The underlined word "bargain" in this story means “________”.
A.something sold cheapB.something sold expensive
C.something made at homeD.something made by children
小題2:How much would Tom have to spend on the camping trip?
A.$ 47.45.B.$ 75.C.$ 85.D.$102.25.
小題3:What's the best title for this story?
A.How to Make Necklaces B.How to Sell Necklaces
C.How to Make a Plan D.How to Earn Money for a Trip

小題1:A
小題2:B
小題3:D

試題分析:本文講述提湯姆想去旅行但是沒(méi)有足夠的錢,通過(guò)一次偶然給母親送項(xiàng)鏈,想到為別人做項(xiàng)鏈可以賺錢的方法。
小題1:A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段得知There's a shop in town that sells almost the same kind of necklace for $ 7.50.If I charge(要價(jià))$ 6.00,people will think that's a bargain.同樣的項(xiàng)鏈在商店里賣7.5美元,如果我要價(jià)6美元,人們認(rèn)為是這很便宜的。故選A項(xiàng)。
小題2:D 推斷題。20條項(xiàng)鏈賣120美元,成本 17.5*2=35,故利潤(rùn)是85美元,根據(jù)文中提到If I sell 20 necklaces,I'll have enough from the profit for the camping trip and $10.00 left over.利潤(rùn)就足夠還剩下10美元,故花費(fèi)85-10=75,所以選D項(xiàng)。
小題3:D主旨大意。本文提到湯姆沒(méi)有賺到足夠的錢去旅行,然后想到賣項(xiàng)鏈可以賺錢,如何通過(guò)賣項(xiàng)鏈來(lái)夠旅行的花費(fèi)。所以選D項(xiàng)。

A recent survey of 2000 parents in Britain showed that they are often afraid of science questions asked by their curious children only because they have no idea what the answer is. Here is a list of some simple questions that you can ask your parents to see if they know the answers.
Q: Why is the sky blue?
A: You probably know white sunlight is made up of seven colors. While it moves in a straight line when going through space, it starts to divide as it hits “raised area” in the atmosphere. The ones with longest wavelengths pass through easily. The blue , however , can be taken in by the gas molecules (分子) because it has a shorter wavelength , which in turn scatters (使分散) it in different directions. That’s why when you look up at the sky, it appears to be blue.
Q:Why does the moon sometimes appear during the daytime?
A: The simple answer to that is because just like any other object it is being lit by the sun. As long as it is around 45 degrees or even 90 degrees off the sun, it will receive light and be able to be seen. The only time it is not able to be seen during its 28-day orbit (軌道) around the earth is when it is right between the earth and the sun. That’s because its back , which is not lit by the sun, is facing us.
Q: Where do birds/ honeybees go in winter?
A: While the bird part is quite easy, since a lot of them get together and travel, the honeybee part is likely to puzzle your parents. It turns out that these busy insects stop being that active when the temperature drops below 50°F. Instead ,they get together in the lower central area of the hive (蜂巢)and form a ball around their queen. This helps keep both warm enough to survive the cold winter months.
小題1:The sky looks blue mainly because the color blue in the sunlight_______.
A.has the longest wavelength among all the colors
B.cannot be taken in by the gas molecules
C.doesn’t hit “raised area” in the atmosphere
D.cannot pass through space successfully
小題2:How long can’t the moon be seen during the daytime in a month?
A.2 B.28 C.30 D.31
小題3:What do honeybees choose to do when the temperature drops below 50°F?
A.They choose to be active in the wild.
B.They choose to keep themselves warm.
C.They choose to travel to a warm place.
D.They choose to get together in the upper central area of the hive.
小題4:What is NOT explained in the passage?
A.Why is the sky blue?
B.Why is the moon able to be seen during the daytime?
C.Why do birds travel in winter?
D.Where do honeybees go in winter?

Do you know how to play a game called “Musical Chairs”? It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs, some people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.
Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.
The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction, of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.
The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out. Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out.
At last, there will be two players and one chair. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.
小題1:If ten people are playing musical chairs, you must begin with _______.
A.nine chairsB.ten chairs
C.eleven chairsD.one chair
