1、Snowflakes look like white stars falling from the sky. But there have been times when snow has looked red, green, yellow, or black. There have been

snowflakes of almost every color. Think how it would seem to have colored snowflakes coming down all around you.

Black snow fell in France one year. Another year grey snow fell in Japan. It was found that the snow was mixed with ashes. This made it look dark. Red snow had come down in other countries. When this happened, the snow was mixed with red dust.

Most snow looks white, but it is really the color of ice. Snow is ice that comes from snow cloud. Each snowflake begins with a small drop of frozen water. More water forms around this drop. The way the water freezes gives the snowflakes its shape.

No two snowflakes are ever just the same size or shape. Sometimes the snowflakes are broken when they come down. Other snowflakes melt as they fall. All snowflakes are flat and have six sides, if they are not broken or melted. When the air is cold and dry, the falling snowflakes are small and hard. If the air wet and warm, the snowflakes are big and soft.

The people thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14, 1789, they stormed

and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has been the French National Day.

四、完型填空

It seems quite clearly unjust to pay two people different amounts of money for doing the same work. But it is not as easy as it appeals at first __1__ to introduce equal pay for equal work.

Two people may be working side by side in a factory and doing the same work, but one may be doing it twice as fast as the __2__; or one may be making no mistakes, while the other is making a lot. In some kinds of work, one can solve the problem of speed if one pays by the amount of work to be done and not by the hour: work paid for in this __3__ is called piece-work. But it is not always

possible to do this, so it is sometimes useful to pay workers at different rates, which take differences in skill into __4__. This usually means that the younger and therefore less experienced worker gets less than the __5__ and more experienced one, which seems reasonable enough.

二、阅读理解

1、Oil is so important that it is sometimes called "black gold". Almost half of our energy comes from oil. We use it to run our cars and factories and to heat our homes, offices and schools. Many everyday things are made from oil. Your shirt may have oil in the material. The soap you wash your hands with might also be made from oil. Your favorite plastic toy is made from oil.

Oil is hard to find, because it is trapped deep under the earth. Once the only way people knew there was oil someplace if it leaked out of the ground. Today, however, we have many ways of finding oil. One tool measures the pull of gravity. Places where gravity is weaker are more likely to have oil. Another tool is sound waves. Sound waves travel through different kinds of rocks at different speeds. We can use them to find the rocks that have oil in them.

We need a lot of oil, and we are using up the oil wells we know about. Soon we must find new ways of looking for this "black gold".

(1)、From this passage, we can know oil is a source of energy.

A：T

B：F

答案：A

(2)、According to the passage, we can tell that oil is found only under water. A：T

2、Britain and France are separated by the English Channel, a body of water that can be crossed in as few as 20 minutes. But the cultures of the two countries

sometimes seem to be miles apart.

Last Thursday Britain and France celebrated the 100th anniversary (周年纪念) of the signing of a friendship agreement called the Entente Cordiality. The agreement marked a new beginning for the countries following centuries of wars and love-hate partnership.

But their relationship has been ups and downs over the past century. Just last year, there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war-which British Prime Minister Tony Blair supported despite French President Jacques Chirac speaking out against it. This discomfort is expressed in Blair and Chirac's body language at international meetings. While the French leader often greets German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder with a hug, Blair just receives a handshake. However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties.

The history of divisions may well be because of the very different ways in which the two sides see the world. But this doesn't stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year. However, only 3 million French come in the opposite direction. Surveys show that most French people feel closer to the Germans than they do to the British. And the research carried out in Britain has found that only a third of the population believes the French can be trusted. Perhaps this bad feeling comes because the British dislike France's close relationship with Germany, or because the French are not happy with Britain's close links with the US.

Whatever the answer is, as both sides celebrate 100 years of "doubtful

friendship", they are at least able to make jokes about each other. Here's one: What's the best thing about Britain's relationship with France? The English Channel.

(1)、For centuries, the relationship between Britain and France is______.

A：friendly

B：impolite

C：brotherly

D：a mixture of love and hate

答案：D

(2)、The war in Iraq does ______ to the relationship between France and Britain. A：good

B：harm

C：neither good nor harm

D：both good and harm

答案：D

(3)、The British are not so friendly to ______ and the French are not so friendly to ______.

A：Germany; America

B：America; Germany

C：Germany; Germany

D：America; America

答案：A

(4)、_____ are more interested in having holidays in _________.

A：American people … Britain

B：British people … Germany

C：French people … Britain

D：British people … France

答案：D

(5)、What does the last sentence mean? _______

A：As long as the English Channel exists, no further disagreement will form between France and Britain.

B：The English Channel can prevent anything unfriendly happening in both France and Britain.

C：France and Britain are near neighbors, and this will help balance the relationship between them

D：The English Channel is the largest enemy between France and Britain. 答案：C
