Some maps are big. They may take up all of a table top. Others are little. You can hold them in your hands. Most maps use colors. A yellow dot may tell where a city is. Blue places on a map may mean lakes or seas. Red lines may stand for roads. Green makes you think of trees and grass. So it may mean parks. Another kind of map shows the night sky. It gives a picture of many stars. It may tell their names, too. With this map we can find these stars on any clear night. Most people use maps to find their way to places. A street map helps you find your way around a city. Street maps may show houses and stores. They may show where schools and bus stops are. Most street maps show parks and lakes, too. They help people get around. You can make a map of the street where you live. First, draw the two sides of your street. Next, draw your home on the street. Then draw the other things along your street. Draw any houses, stores, or parks. Think of what the stores and parks are called. Write down these names.

They may grow fruits and vegetables. They may raise animals. They work hard so that people get good food. It is not easy to get the ground ready for planting. It takes a lot of work. First the farmers make a seedbed. This is a place in the soil where seeds can be planted. To make a seedbed, farmers use a plow. The plow is a farm tool that turns over the soil. The farmers then feed the soil so that the fruit and vegetable plants will grow better. The farmers now plant the seeds. They work hard to keep the weeds and bugs away. They make sure that the new plants have the water they need. With all this care, the plants grow well. Many fruits and vegetables are soon seen. Then the farmers must see that they are picked. Right after that, the fruits and vegetables are boxed and go to the stores. Some of the animals that farmers raise are hens, cows, sheep, and pigs. Farmers must give the animals much care. They must feed the animals and keep them clean. Some animals cant get too cold. So they must stay inside where it is warm. Farmers must also make sure that their animals stay well. Farmers like to work with animals. They like to see plants grow. They want to work outside in the fresh air. At the end of their long days work, farmers are tired but they are also happy.59.Why is it hard to get the ground ready for planting （得分：2分） A)Because there have been lots of vegetables on the ground.

This is surprising news. Other people can help and their caring can make a difference. Trevor Farrell was 10 years old when he began reaching out and giving help. In 1983 he took blankets (毯子) to the people living in the streets of New York City. Today there is a 33-room house to let those without homes live in his town. It is called “Trevors Place”. President Reagan has given him a special honor for his giving and kindness for the homeless. On Sunday, May 25th, 1986, a great event took place. At exactly 3:00 p.m. more than six million people joined hands in a line of 4,000 miles long across the United States. They held hands from Los Angeles (洛杉矶) to New York. The “Hands Across America” event raised about 30 million dollars to help the hungry and homeless in America.

Passage 4 Messages can be sent across the land by means of the electric telegraph; but you cannot put up a line of telegraph posts across the sea. Messages can be sent across the ocean by radio or by cable. The cable lies on the sea bottom and it has to have very good insulation(绝缘）. If any part of it is weak, the water will get through and stop all signals. The first cable under the sea was between England and France. It was laid in 1851. In 1857 engineers tried to lay a cable across the Atlantic Ocean, but they met a lot of difficulties. Halfway across the Atlantic the cable broke, and the ship that was laying it had to return. Kelvin advised that another cable ought to be laid. It was made ready, and put on board a big ship. Kelvin and his friends traveled with it and after many days of hard work, they reached America without breaking the cable. Kelvin himself sent the first message by cable from America to Britain. Unfortunately only 732 messages were sent through this cable before it broke. The next cable was laid in 1866, and this time there were no problems.69.Messages can be sent across the ocean_. （得分：2分） A)through insulating post B)through sea water C)through telegraph posts D)through radio 70.The first cable under the sea was laid _. （得分：2分） A)between England and France in 1851 B)between America and Britain in 1851 C)halfway across the Atlantic Ocean D)between England and France in 1857 71.The first cable across the Atlantic Ocean_. （得分：2分） A)proved a huge success and it never broke B)broke after only 732 messages were sent C)was laid only half way between Britain and USA D)was the first undersea cable in the world 72.Which of the following is true according to the passage （得分：2分） A)Messages can be sent only by means of the undersea cable across the ocean.
