Knowing how to make an invisible ink message will have you feeling like a secret agent in no time. These are instructions for making invisible ink using baking soda.Difficulty: EasyTime required: A few minutes What you need:Baking soda, Paper, Water, Light bulb, Paintbrush, Measuring cup, Purple grape juiceHeres how:There are at least two methods of using baking soda as invisible ink. Mix equal amounts of water and baking soda.Use a paintbrush to write a message onto white paper, using the baking soda solution (溶液) as ink.Allow the ink to dry.One way to read the message is to hold the paper up to a heat source, such as a light bulb. The baking soda will cause the writing in the paper to turn brown.The second way to read the message is to paint over the paper with purple grape juice. The message will appear in a different color.Tips:If you are using the heating method, avoid burning the paper.Baking soda and grape juice react in an acid-base (酸碱) reaction, producing a color change in the paper.Grape juice concentrate (浓缩物) results in a more visible color change than regular grape juice. 56. is not needed for making invisible ink.A. Baking soda B. Paper C. Water D. Ink57. Whats the function of the paintbrush?A. To draw a picture. B. To allow the ink to appear. C. To write a message onto the white paper. D.

Because of the use of water. D. Because of the special paper.60. From the process, we can know that making invisible ink is .A. very hard B. not difficult C. a little difficult D. not easyBThe way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain. As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, self-improvement. Ask a bachelor(单身汉）,why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest, he will tell you that he is afraid of making a mitment. For mitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features. Couples with baby children are lucky to get a whole nights sleep or a three-day vacation. I dont know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild. Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can really increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all. 61. What is the author trying to tell us? A. One must know how to attain happiness. B. Happiness often goes hand in hand with painC. It is important to make mitments. D. It is pain that leads to happiness. 62. According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because _ . A. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single B. he finds more fun in dating than in marriage C. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement D. he is unwilling to take on family responsibilities 63. Raising children, in the authors opinion is _ .A. a moral duty B. a thankless job C. a rewarding task D. a source of unavoidable pain 64. To understand what true happiness is one must _ . A. have as much fun as possible during ones lifetimeB. make every effort to liberate oneself from pain C. put up with pain under all circumstances D. be able to distinguish happiness from fun 65. From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes es from _ . A. misunderstanding B.hate C. pride D. ignorance CBeijings historichutongare in danger of disappearing. Thats the warning from residents and historians, who have called on authorities to do more to protect this unique part of the capitals culture.In xx, Beijing still had 1,300hutong, according to amateur historian Zhang Wei. But he estimates that since then, at least half of them have disappeared.According to regulations, people can report illegal buildings to urban patrol officers, known as chengguan, and buildings found to be illegal will be demolished by force.However, a China Daily reporter found that it was not an easy task, and lots of additional structures built by their owners were found inhutong. Many owners added a second floor or even more floors to their houses, especially in buildings near main streets, in order to rent more apartments and make more money.Zhang, the historian, said that to better protect thehutong, the government should offer more pensation to residents willing to move away. Guo Dazhi, a photojournalist in Beijing, lived in ahutongfor nearly 30 years before moving to eastern Chaoyang district. Guo hopes that the government can solve the problem by moving residents out ofhutongwith policies such as public renting programs.However, the Beijing mission of Urban Planning said in a report in July that the relocation of residents from old areas was very expensive.According to the report, allocating 10,000 residents costs 1.5 billion yuan .66. What made Beijings historic hutong in danger?A. The fast development of the city B. Some people build unlawful construction C. Population growing D. Pollution67. What does demolish mean in para.3?A .pull down B. build up C. clean up D. wash up68. Who is mainly in charge of the illegal building?A .Policemen B. The army C. Chengguan D. The local mittee 69. What is the suggestion mentioned of solving the problem?A. moving residents out of hutong with forceB. introduce social capital for investment in constructureC. offer more money to residents willing to move away.D. build more hutong70. How many hutong exist up till now?A. 1300 B.300 C. xx D.600DMore surprising，perhaps，than the present difficulties of traditional marriage is the fact that marriage itself is alive and thrivingAs Skolnick notes，Americans are a marrying people：relative to Europeans，more of us marry and we marry at a younger ageMoreover, after a drop in the early l950s，the rate of marriage in the United States is now increasingEven the divorce rate needs to be taken in this pro-marriage context：some 30 percent of divorced individuals remarry. Thus，marriage remains by far the preferred way of life for the vast majority of people in our society.What has changed more than marriage is the nuclear familyTwenty five years ago，the typical American family was made up of a husband，a wife，and two or three children. Now there are many marriages in which couples have decided not to have any childrenAnd there are many marriages where at least some of the children are from the wifes former marriage，or the husbands，or bothSometimes these children spend all of their time with one parent from the former marriage；sometimes they are shared between the two former spouses(配偶)Thus，one can find every type of family arrangementThere are marriages without children；Marriages with children from only the present marriage；Marriages with “full time” children from both the present and former marriages；Marriages with “full time” children from the present marriage and “part time”，children from former marriagesThere are stepfathers，stepmothers，half brothers, and half sistersIt is not all that unusual for a child to have four parents and eight grandparents! These are great changes from the traditional nuclear familyBut even so，even in the midst of all this，there remains one constant：Most Americans spend most of their adult lives married71By calling American marrying people the author means that .AAmericans are more traditional than EuropeansBAmericans expect more out of marriage than EuropeansCthere are more married couples in USAthan in EuropeDmore of Americans，as pared with Europeans，prefer marriage and they accept it at a younger age72Divorced Americans .Aprefer the way they live Bwill most likely to remarryChave lost faith in marriage Dare the vast majority of people in the society73Which of the following can be presented as the picture of todays American families?AMany types of family arrangements have bee socially acceptableBA typical American family is made up of only a husband and a wifeCAmericans prefer to have more kids than beforeDThere are no nuclear families any more74“Part time” children .Aspend some of their time with their half brothers and some of their time with their half sistersBspend all of their time with one parent from the previous marriageCare shared between the two former spousesDcan not stay with “full time” children75Even though great changes have taken place in the structure of American families， .Athe vast majority of Americans still have faith in marriageBthe functions of marriage remain unchangedCmost Americans prefer a second marriageDmost divorced Americans would rather not remarry第二卷（非选择题 满分35分）第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）第1节 阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文并回答问题。Read the following jokes and answer the questions:1.
