Columbus and his men had to live on a small island for several months while they tried to repair their ship and return to Spain.At first, the local people on the island were very kind to the European visitors, giving them all the food and clothes they needed to survive. However, as the months passed, the local people became more and more unhappy with their guests, who were tricking and stealing from them. Finally the locals decided to stop helping. Without food or any way to leave the island, Columbuss group was soon in serious trouble.Luckily for Columbus, he had a book about the stars and planets on his ship. It described the movements of all the objects in the night sky. The book, written by a well-known German scientist, said there would be a total lunar eclipse(月食)and how long it would last.Columbus worked out the difference in time between Germany and North America. He then had a meeting with the local leaders just before the eclipse would take place. In this meeting, Columbus told them his god was angry because the local people were no longer giving food. So his god would take away the Moon to punish them. At the moment Columbus finished talking, just as he had planned, the Moon began disappearing.The local leaders grew frightened and quickly agreed to provide Columbus with food and anything else he wanted. But first, Columbuss god had to return the Moon. Columbus told them he would have to discuss the idea with his god on his ship. Knowing the Moon would stay completely hidden for about 48 minutes, Columbus returned just before the Moon began to reappear.

It is a very important island because it is completely made of sand. In fact, it is the largest sand island in the world. There is no airport on the island, but there is a long beach along the east coast. Planes arrive and leave from here.The sand makes unusual shapes. There are hills made of sand called sandblows. Nothing grows on them. They move one or two meters a year from the northwest towards the southeast of the island, getting bigger and bigger. At other places on the island, such as Rainbow Gorge, The Cathedrals and Red Canyon, the sandy rocks have different colors. Sometimes the rocks are so brown that they turn the sea brown, like coffee.Surprisingly, the sandy island has a lot of different plants and animals. There are dark forestseucalyptus woods, beautiful flowers and over a hundred lakes. There are many kinds of birds, like owls and curlews. There are many animals there, too, such as crocodiles, flying foxes and wild dogs called dingoes.About 500,000 people visit the island every year to see the islands beauty and nature. People enjoy camping and hiking（徒步）there. Unluckily, the visitors create problems. They damage plants and frighten animals. Their sun cream（防晒霜）makes the water dirty. So it is necessary to manage the visitors. For example, people may not use motor boats or go fishing in the lakes, and they need official papers to drive there.（1）The passage is mainly about _.

About 8 to 15 percent of people are left handed. They often have to use tools that are designed for right-handed people. So it is difficult for left-handers to use most tools. If you are right handed, try this experiment: Take a knife with your left hand and try cutting a potato into pieces. Dont be surprised if you feel awkward（别扭的）. In the past, people thought it was strange to use the left hand. Young students looked down upon their left-handed classmates. Some children were even punished for using their left hand to write. But these days parents and teachers have accepted that. In almost every school in the world, left-handed students can use their left hand to write. What causes people to be left handed or right handed? Experts have searched long and hard on this. They concluded（得出结论） that left-handed people are left handed for the same reason that right-handed people are right handed. One out of every ten people just is a left-hander. Its simply like the color of our eyessome people have brown eyes, while some others have black eyes. However, many researchers think that left-handers and right-handers are different in some aspects. Right-handers are more talkative and outgoing than left-handers. Many right-handed people understand spoken words better. For example, after they listen to directions to a supermarket, they can find it easily. Right-handers are good at organizing people, too. They are also better basketball guards. Just ask Yao Ming. Research shows that left-handers are creative and artistic. Many famous performers, like Jim Carrey and Paul McCartney, are left handed. Many left-handers learn better visually（在视觉方面）. In art, both Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo were left handed. In science, you find Newton and Einstein. The left-handed people are also really good at tennis and other single sports. If you prefer one hand, but you are still good at writing with the other, you are mixed handed. Research shows mixed-handers can remember everyday things better than other people. What did you eat for lunch two weeks ago? If youre mixed handed, you can probably remember. （1）If right-handers cut up potatoes with their left hand, they will . A . get hurtB . give up cutting C . feel uncomfortableD . change their tools（2）What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A . Causes of being left handed. B . Encouragement to left-handers.C . Punishment for using the left hand. D . Changes in opinions on left-handers.（3）According to the passage, right-handers . A . learn better visuallyB . are good organizersC . are better at single sportsD . give clear directions to others（4）From the passage, we can learn that left-handers . A . may be more talkative and outgoingB . are ordinary people like right-handersC . might remember everyday things betterD . no longer need to use right-handed tools四、 根据首字母及汉语提示完成单词。(5分) (共5题；共5分)15. （1分）单词翻译。 _v. 提供 _v. 发展 _ adj.公平的_n. 邻居 _v. 落下 16. （1分）If your dream comes t_, you must be happy. 17. （1分）He is bad at cooking and he often _ (烧焦) food. 18. （1分）When I feel _(不开心), I always go to her. 19. （1分）I can cook _ (简单的) meals in my family. 五、 用所给词的适当形式填空，使句意通顺。(5分) (共5题；共5分)20. （1分）She can teach_ (her) English. 21. （1分）Are you looking forward to_(travel) in the summer holiday? 22. （1分）Id like _(shop)with my friends this evening. 23. （1分）There are _ (seven) days in a week. 24. （1分）Therere two _(hen) in the picture.
