Clay is important because it is used to make containers of all kinds. Workers add water to soften clay. This makes it easier to form into shapes by hand or by machine. Then it is heated to a very high temperature. The result is a container that will last for many years.

In many countries, clay was formed from volcanoes(火山). This kind of clay usually contains many minerals(矿物质). So the fires to make containers from volcanic clay must be hotter than those used for non-volcanic clay. The fires may be as hot as 1400℃. The high temperature should not be reached too fast so that the containers can be dried slowly.

You can add some materials to clay to gain desired results. For example, you can add sand to prevent tiny breaks or lines from forming on the surface of the final product. But you should not use sand from the coasts of oceans. Instead, you should use sand from rivers or other areas.

Clay often exists in fields covered with some water. The clay will be found about one meter below the ground. River banks often also have clay about one meter or less under the surface. Clay is very shiny when it is wet. You can also take some of the material and add enough water to it. Then press it in your hands until it is about the size of an egg. It is probably clay if it holds together when you stop pressing.

5.What do workers do with clay to make it into different shapes?

A.Soften it by putting water into it.

B.Heat it to a very high temperature.

C.Harden its surface by pressing it.

D.Add some materials into it.

答案：A 事实细节题。从第一段第二句和第三句可知，工人们往黏土里加水使其变软，这样才容易制作成各种形状的容器。

6.What’s the difference between volcanic clay and non-volcanic clay?

A.Volcanic clay can be found in very few countries.

B.Non-volcanic clay can be dried more quickly.

C.Non-volcanic clay makes better containers.

D.Volcanic clay usually has more minerals.

答案：D 事实细节题。从第二段第二句可知，火山黏土和非火山黏土的区别是火山黏土经常有许多的矿物质。 7.In making containers sand is added to clay .

A.to produce containers free from tiny breaks

B.to make desired lines on the surface

C.to make it easier to shape

D.to get special patterns

答案：A 事实细节题。从第三段第二句可知，在制作容器的时候，往黏土里添加沙子可以防止在产品的表面留下细微的裂缝。 8.Clay can often be found .

答案：C 事实细节题。从第四段第一句可知，黏土常常出现在有水的田地。

“Seasame Street” has been called “the longest street in the world”. This is because the television program by that name can now be seen in so many parts of the world.

The program, which went on the air in New York in 1969, uses songs, jokes, and pictures to give children a basic understanding of numbers, letters and human relationships. More than 6 million children in the United States watch it regularly. The viewers(观众）include more than half the nation’s children before school age.

Many teachers consider the program a great help, though some teachers find that problems happen when the first-year pupils who have learned from “Seasame Street” are in the same class with those who have not watched the program. Tests have shown that children who watch it five times a week learn more than those who seldom watch it. In the United States the program is shown at different hours during the week in order to increase the number of children who can watch it regularly.

Why has “Seasame Street” been so much more successful than other children’s shows? Many reasons have been suggested. Perhaps one reason is that mothers watch “Seasame Street” along with their children. But the best reason for the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching it feel able to learn. The child finds himself learning, and he wants to learn more.

9.People call “Seasame Street” the longest street in the world because .

A.it is the longest TV program ever produced

B.it took much more time to put on this program than any other one

C.it is shown almost throughout the world

11.“Seasame Street” is so successful mainly because .

A.mother watch it with their children

B.it contains songs, stories and jokes

C.it is shown at different hours during the week

D.children are willing and able to learn when watching it

答案：D 事实细节题。文章最后一段指出该节目成功的主要原因是：孩子们看节目是想学并且能够学好。

12.When the first-year pupils who have watched the program are in the same class with those who haven’t, .

A.teaching will becomes a bit difficult

B.they will not get on well with one another

C.it is impossible to begin class at the fixed time

When you are little, the whole world feels like a big playground. I was living in Conyers, Georgia the summer it all happened. I was a second grader, but my best friend Stephanie was only in the first grade. Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own way.

It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie’s basement. As I opened the basement door, before us lay the biggest room, full of amazing things like guns, dolls, and old clothes. I ran downstairs, and spotted a red steel can. It was paint. I looked beyond it and there lay even more paint in bright colors like purple, orange, blue and green.

“Stephanie, I just found us a project for the day. Get some paintbrushes. We are fixing to paint.” She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work. We gathered all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard. There on the road in front of my house, we painted bit stripes(条纹)of colors across the pavement(人行道).Stripe by stripe, our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow. It was fantastic!

The sun was starting to sink. I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car. It was my mother. I couldn’t wait to show her my masterpiece. The car pulled slowly into the driveway and from the look on my mother’s face, I could tell that I was in deep trouble.

My mother shut the car door and walked towards me. Her eyes glaring, she shouted, “What in the world were you thinking? I understood when you made

castles out of leaves, and climbed the neighbors’ trees, but this! Come inside

right now!” I stood there glaring back at her for a minute, angry because she

had insulted(侮辱)my art.

“Now go to clean it up!” Mother and I began cleaning the road. Tears ran

down my cheeks as I saw my beautiful rainbow turn into black cement.

Though years have now passed, I still wonder where my rainbow has gone. I

wonder if, maybe when I get older, I can find my rainbow and never have to brush

it away. I guess we all need sort of rainbow to brighten our lives from time

to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful.

13.What did the writer want to do when his mother came home?

A.To introduce Stephanie to her.

B.To prevent her from seeing his painting.

C.To put the materials back in the yard.

D.To show his artwork to her.

答案：D 事实细节题。根据第四段“I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as

I recognized the car. It was my mother. I couldn’t wait to show her my

masterpiece.”可知,我当时是很高兴地想把我的杰作给妈妈看。

14.The underlined word “rainbow” in the last paragraph refers to .

A.the rainbow in the sky

B.the stripes on the pavement

C.something imaginative and fun

D.important lessons learned in childhood

答案：C 词义猜测题。根据最后一段作者的感慨“to keep our hopes and dreams

colorful”，可以推断此时作者提到的rainbow不是指自己曾经在街道上画过的彩虹，

而是指自己人生中的彩虹，它是某些具有想象力的和快乐的事物。 15.It can be learned from the passage that parents should .

A.encourage children to paint

B.value friendship among children

C.discover the hidden talent in children

D.protect rather than destroy children’s dreams

答案：D 推理判断题。从文章开头叙述作者开心地画彩虹的过程，到后来被妈妈要求

把街道清洗干净，到最后的感慨，表明作者最终想要表达的目的之一是：父母应该支持

孩子的某些创造性的行为，而不是一味地否定。
