At that time Yangzhou was a famous port and one of few biggest cities in East Asia.With the improvement of the local economy and easy transportation way, there happened in the history a special local culture, which has an important place in Chinese culture.

The second half of the match began. There was a big change. At first, our team got the ball and I shot from the three-point line at once.

Here is a list of some simple questions that you can ask your parents to see if they know the answers. Q: Why is the sky blue? A: You probably know white sunlight is made up of seven colors. While it moves in a straight line when going through space, it starts to divide as it hits “raised area” in the atmosphere. The ones with longest wavelengths pass through easily. The blue , however , can be taken in by the gas molecules (分子) because it has a shorter wavelength , which in turn scatters (使分散) it in different directions. Thats why when you look up at the sky, it appears to be blue. Q: Why does the moon sometimes appear during the daytime? A: The simple answer to that is because just like any other object it is being lit (照亮) by the sun. As long as it is around 45 degrees or even 90 degrees off the sun, it will receive light and be able to be seen. The only time it is not able to be seen during its 28-day orbit (軌道) around the earth is when it is right between the earth and the sun. Thats because its back , which is not lit by the sun, is facing us. Q: Where do birds/ honeybees go in winter? A: While the bird part is quite easy, since a lot of them get together and travel, the honeybee part is likely to puzzle your parents. It turns out that these busy insects stop being that active when the temperature drops below 50F. Instead ,they get together in the lower central area of the hive（蜂巢）and form a ball around their queen. This helps keep both warm enough to survive the cold winter months.62. The sky looks blue mainly because the color blue in the sunlight_.A. has the longest wavelength among all the colorsB. cannot be taken in by the gas moleculesC. doesnt hit “raised area” in the atmosphereD. cannot pass through space successfully63. How long cant the moon be seen during the daytime in a month?A. 2. B. 28. C.30. D. 31.64. What do honeybees choose to do when the temperature drops below 50F?A. They choose to be active in the wild.B. They choose to keep themselves warm.C. They choose to travel to a warm place.D.They choose to get together in the upper central area of the hive.65. What is NOT explained in the passage?A. Why is the sky blue?B. Why is the moon able to be seen during the daytime?C. Why do birds travel in winter?D. Where do honeybees go in winter?第II卷（非選擇題 60分）五、詞匯運用（共l0小題；每小題l分，計l0分）（每空一詞）66.The more effort you put into your studies ,the greater _(進(jìn)步) you will make.67.
