scientists explain that the outside of the earth is made of a number of different plates. the plates move very slowly. sometimes they stop and dont move for a long time. when some plates of the earth move suddenly, an earthquake happens.many earthquakes happen under the sea. sometimes they happen near mountains. in fact, earthquakes may happen anywhere on the earth. during an earthquake, houses fall, people are killed or hurt. sometimes the whole villages or cities are destroyed.can we do something to keep ourselves safe from earthquakes? scientists have studied earthquakes and make maps that show the “earthquake belt”. in the areas in these belts, its possible for earthquakes to happen. in these areas we can make houses strong enough to fight against earthquakes.in the future, scientists will be able to predict exactly when and where an earthquake will happen. they can also tell us what to do and how to do it.( ) 1. the underlined word “plates” here means _ in chinese. a. 巖石 b. 地殼 c. 板塊 d. 地形( ) 2. it is said that earthquakes may happen _. a. in cities b. in villages c. near mountains d. in any places on the earth( ) 3. the earthquake happens because _. a. the plates move suddenly b. the sea is too deep c. rocks break open suddenly d. there are many mountains on the earth( ) 4. a map showing the earthquake belts will tell people _. a. when an earthquake will happen b. where earthquakes possibly happen c. what kind of houses can stay up in an earthquake d. how to keep themselves safe during an earthquake( ) 5. in the future well be no longer so afraid of an earthquake_. a. because of a map showing the “earthquake belt” b. because the plates of the earth never move suddenly c. because everyone can guess the dates and places of earthquakes d. as scientists can predicate it and know what to do and how to do itpassage 6導讀：種瓜得瓜，種豆得豆-你播種粗魯，你會收獲憤怒；你播種禮貌，你會收獲微笑。請讀讀這篇關于“回音”的文章。a boy and his father were walking in the mountains. suddenly the boy fell, hurt himself, and cried, “aaahhhhhhhhh!” to his surprise, he heard the voice repeating, somewhere in the mountain, “aaahhhhhhhhh!” then the boy shouted, “who are you?” he received the answer, “who are you?” he got mad at the answer, so he shouted, “foolish!” he received the answer, “foolish!” the boy looked at his father and asked, “whats going on?” the father smiled and said, “my son, listen!” and then he shouted to the mountain, “i love you!” the voice answered, “i love you!” again the father cried, “you are the best!” the voice answered, “you are the best!”the boy was surprised, but did not understand. then the father explained, “people call this echo, but really this is life. it gives you back everything you say or do. our life is just a reflection（反映） of what we have done. if you want more love in the world, have more love in your heart. if you want to be successful, work hard. this can be used in everything in life. life will give you back everything you have given to it.”( ) 1. at first the boy cried because _. a. he hurt himself and felt bad b. he hoped his father would help him c. he wanted to give himself a surprise d. he felt it was so quiet in the mountain( ) 2. when the boy heard the voice repeating, he thought _. a. it was foolish to hear others voice b. someone else in the mountain liked his voice c. there were many other people in the mountain d. he was laughed at by someone else in the mountain( ) 3. the father shouted to the mountain to _. a. find out who was repeating his voice b. let his son know whose voice was louder c. have fun with other people in the mountain d. show more examples to his son before giving him the answer( ) 4. the word “echo” means _. a. life itself b. love in the world c. repeating voice d. everything in life( ) 5. from the story, we know _. a. it is not polite to repeat others voice b. the boy and his father were rather tired c. the boy didnt like others voice at all d. the father had his own way to teach his son passage 7導讀：俗話說“禮多人不怪”，由此可知禮節(jié)在人際交往中具有不可忽視的作用。懂禮節(jié)的人別人會尊敬你，認同你，親近你。而不同的國家有不同的禮節(jié)。因此，在現(xiàn)代社會，我們每個人都應該學習禮節(jié)。 if a person behaves politely and is kind and helpful to others, we say that he or she has good manners. everyone likes a person with good manners. what are good manners?
