Each morning, Napoga leaves home at half past five to collect water for her family. Sometimes it 3a few hours to get enough water. Napoga has no time to go to school for learning. In the neighboring areas, many boys and girls 4Napoga. They cant keep strong and 5just because they have not enough drinking water.In fact, 70% of Earths surface is water. But most of 6is sea water. We cant use salty water in our daily life. Fresh water is what we 7 drink, take showers and cook food. And fresh water covers only 1 percent of Earths surface. In some areas people try to make deep wells （水井） to get water from 8. But there still 9enough for farming.

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 report23. （10分） Modern life is impossible without traveling. The fastest way of traveling is by plane.

Simard and her colleagues have made the major discovery that trees and plants really do communicate and interact with each other.Trees live on through their group work and support, passing around the resources such as nitrogen and carbon “depending on who needs it by miles of underground fungi（真菌） networks. This makes sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons（神经元） in our brains, and when one tree is cut down, it affects all.Simard talks about Mother Trees. These are the largest, oldest trees that rise above the forest, a concept explained in the movie Avatar. These “Mother Trees are connected to all the other trees in the forest by this network of fungi, and may manage the resources of the whole trees and plants in the forest. She explains how these trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important resources to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down Mother Trees without paying attention to these highly complex tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are losing the chances to save the whole forest.We didnt take any notice of it,” Simard says sadly. “Mother Trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them a chance.” If we could send this message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.（1）Trees can share resources with other ones by .A . the help from animalsB . underground fungi networksC . the communication with peopleD . neurons in the system of brains（2）Mother Trees are very important because they .A . bring wealth to the scientists B . pass on nutrition to young treesC . get more from the complex “tree societies” D . seem more likely to be cut down by humans（3）The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to .A . how trees grow oldB . how tree societies workC . how young trees are savedD . how forestry industry develops（4）What would be the best title for the passage?A . Trees Are Rich in ResourcesB . Trees Are Good for Our SocietyC . Trees Are in Need of ProtectionD . Trees Are More Complex Than We Think25. （10分）阅读理解Building a bridge across the Straits(海峡)On May 3rd, 2005, KMT chairman Lien Chan finished his eight-day visit to the mainland.
