But do you know if a colour has weight? I think youll say no. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you dont believe, you may do a small experiment. First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then, cover the box. Third, wrap(包裹) one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier. Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colours have different weight in a mans mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every colour has its own weight in our mind and their order(顺序) is the same. The heaviest colour is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white. The scientist told us that colours also have smell. Can you smell the colour? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every colour stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength (波长). It reaches our brain(大脑) through sense organs(感觉器官).According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colours they like, and refuse the colours they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like. Or youll be nervous or even get ill. For example, if you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture for two hours, youll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, youll feel you have been there for only an hour. Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change with different colours.（1）The purpose of the second paragraph is to tell us _. A . a red box is heavier than a white oneB . a colour has weight in ones mindC . white paper is lighter than red paperD . you can know the weight of a colour by holding it（2）Why did the scientist say colours have smell? A . Because every colour has its own sweet smellB . Because we can smell colours with our nose.C . Because people can sense the light from colours.D . Because every colour can give off light of the same wavelength.（3）We can infer(推断) from the text that _. A . colours have orders in weightB . colours can change the weight of an objectC . people would stay longer in a room with red windowsD . colours can influence our mood(心情) and health（4）This passage is probably a _. A . newspaper ad.B . fiction novelC . childrens storyD . science report4. （10分）阅读理解Every year on the second Sunday of May, Americans celebrate Mothers Day.

Like spoken languages, sign languages are different from each other. But all sign languages are based on sight instead of sounds.Sign languages have several main visual (视觉) parts that work together to express meaning. The first part is the shape made by the hands. Movement is also important. Moving the body or organs (器官) like hands affects the meaning of the shape. The place where the sign is made and the direction the hands face are crucial as well. Other visual clues (线索), such as the expression on a persons face, can sometimes change a signs meaning. For example, a change in a smile can show whether a signer is happy, very happy, or overjoyed. Raising the eyebrows can mark a question.In sign languages, the visual parts are combined (结合) in different ways to create signs.These signs stand for things, actions, feelings, and ideas. ASL has about 4,000 different signs. Like spoken languages, sign languages cannot be translated word-for-word. For English word may be represented by a series of signs in ASL. Or several English words may berepresented by a single ASL sign. Unlike spoken languages, the signs are organized according to sign-language grammar and the most important word or idea is signed first.In ASL, the letter signs are made with one hand. Signers would rarely, if ever, spell out all the words they are signing. That would be as awkward and slow as speakers spelling each spoken word. However, American Sign Language does not have signs for proper names, so signers may use the alphabet to spell these. Also, sign languages often borrow words from other languages. They may spell words using finger spelling which is done with a set of hand shapes that stand for letters of the alphabet.Sign languages develop naturally when people with shared culture and needs want to communicate with each other. Signers are closely linked to each other, perhaps more than to speaking people in their own communities. Signers share points of view, values, needs, and problems,as well as languages.（1）Which group of signs shows how to finger-spell the word hat?A . B . C . D . （2）What can we learn from the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph?A . Different visual parts are combined to create signs.B . Sign languages do not have signs for proper names.C . Signers express ideas following the specific grammar.D . Direct sign combinations wont tell what signers mean.（3）What feature do sign languages and spoken languages have in common?A . They are influenced by different cultures.B . Movements work together to express meaning.C . They are both rich in vocabulary and grammar.D . Facial expressions are of great importance to them.（4）What might be the best title for the passage? A . Speak and ShareB . Signs and LanguagesC . Show and TellD . Sight and Signers 三、 词汇运用。 (共2题；共20分)6. （10分）阅读下面短文，用方框内所给词汇的适当形式填空，使短文语义完整。 deep reason another never kind however throw waste than withoutOnce upon a time there was a man called Yue Yangzi in Henan who had a _wife.One day, Yue picked up a piece of gold.

However, you can do something to make it success. First of all, you need to do something about your topic. For example, choose a topic about something you like, such as something that interests you or someone who is close to you. Once youve chosen your topic, try to find useful information about it online or from the library. As you do this, write down the information that supports your ideas in a valuable way.Rehearsing(排练) your speech is also important. For this, youd better write the script (讲稿) just like talking to your friends. Keep your script simple. Use interesting examples or stories to show your ideas. Once you finish your script, read it out loud to yourself and remember it. After that, write down 2 to 3 points that you may forget on a note card. Finally, you have to practice your speech in front of something or someone until you dont have to look at your note card.In the end, its time to give the speech. At this time, stand straight and hold your head high. This will show that youre confident. Show your listeners that youre excited by smiling before you begin and throughout the speech. Pause(停顿) after finishing a sentence, or after saying an important point. It will allow you time to collect your thoughts.If youre out of breath while speaking or if your words start running together, youre most probably speaking too fast. If this happens, take a breath and slow down. While talking, look at your listeners, like friends. Whats more, if you dont remember the next word or line, pause for one or two seconds to look at your note card.
