25、e is CO2 in solid form, with a temperature of about -78.5.Unlike common ice, dry ice doesnt melt into a liquid . When dry ice melts, it turns into a gas. So when you see dry ice smoking, its frozen CO2 melting into its gaseous state. Dry ice is a popular matter in scientific experiments. It creates

26、projects that look cool.Experiment: Healthy dry ice popsicles（棒冰）This dry ice experiment will catch peoples eye, especially little kids because the dry ice is going to be used to make what the young love to eat. It should take you about 10 minutes or less to have a frozen treat to enjoy.MaterialsOne

27、 large block of dry iceA large spoonPopsicle sticksOne cup of your favorite juiceA tall glass filled with waterDirectionsUse the large spoon to make a popsicle-shaped space in a block of dry ice. You can set the ice on a piece of cloth or plastic on your table to do this work. Of course, keep in min

28、d that its okay if its not exactly popsicle-shaped.Add a popsicle stick to the middle of the space so that when you pour in the liquid, it will freeze around the popsicle stick.Hold the popsicle stick in place and wait a few minutes for your popsicle to harden. After several minutes, take away the p

29、opsicle from the block of dry ice and put it into a tall glass of water for a few seconds. Do this to warm up the popsicle just a bit. Otherwise, it will be too cold.56.

31、 caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and me on the other side.We were both in great anger. “Never set foot in this house again!” father stormed. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.The street light

32、s were shining, causing rather sad feelings. I wandered aimlessly.A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.But now I dont know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in o

33、ur ways of thinking. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer p

34、eople on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.I thought to myself: “Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me”In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was

35、 throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.All the lights were off except fathers.Dad was always like this. Maybe he didnt know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy

36、 or any moments of regret.This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.The light was still on. “Am I wrong” I whispered, maybe With the key in my hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open t

37、he door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love-its second to none.59.

40、 CChina used to be called the “Kingdom of Bicycles”, but since then, cars have taken over the country. There are too many vehicles and pedestrians in the street now, so the roads are crowded nearly all the time, and even going a few kilometers can take up to an hour, which can explain the fact that

41、its very difficult to travel across major Chinese cities.Now, new apps that help people register and find bikes are being used more and more across cities like Beijing. The new apps that let people share bicycles are easing, traffic, and reducing pollution. Cheng Li started using bike share services

42、 about six months ago. He said now he is using the car less and the bike more. For Zhang Jian, the bike share revolution makes him recollect the old days. “Now, when were riding home from work, especially in the evening, when its not rushed, it feels like were reliving the past,” Zhang said.However,

43、 there is now a lot of competition among bike share providers because of their popularity. Some providers are trying to flood the streets with bikes to be more visible. Sometimes there are so many bikes that they completely block the sidewalks. This has become a problem for city governments. It is n

44、ot uncommon for bike users to leave bikes in the middle of the street or on the sidewalk. This blocks cars and people in already crowded cities.In Beijings southern district of Daxing, officials have been trying to fix the problem by seizing illegally parked bikes. VOA spoke to a woman who said, “Bi

45、ke sharing is really convenient, but no one is taking care of the problem of illegally parked bikes.” Behind her were several thousand seized bikes.Many people in China feel that bike shares are helping reduce the countrys transportation problems and polluted air. However, they also hope companies w

46、ill do more to improve their service and avoid flooding the streets with bikes.63. Which is the cause of traffic jams in major Chinese cities?A. Lack of parking lots.B. Lack of bike share services.C. Poor road conditions.D. The booming of cars.64. What does the underlined word “recollect” in Paragra

47、ph 2 probably mean? A. Look back.B. Back off. C. Step forward. D. Slide away.65. What does paragraph 3 mainly want to tell us about the bike shares?A. Their popularity.B. Their advantages. C. Their competition.D. Their problems.66. What do you think will be discussed about the bike shares in the fol

48、lowing paragraph?A. They create bike revolution. B. They bring about polluted air.C. They solve the traffic problems.D. They need further improving.DOur character, basically, is made up of our habits. Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a ch

49、aracter, reap a destiny (命运), as the saying goes.Habits are powerful factors in our lives. Because they areoften unconscious patterns, they constantly daily affect our character and produce our effectiveness or ineffectiveness.As Horace Mann, the great educator, once said, Habits are like a cable. W

50、e weave a rope of itevery day and soon it cannot be broken. I personally do not agree with the last part of his expression. I know habits can be learned and unlearned. But we also knowitisnt a quick fix. It involves a process and a tremendous effort.Those of us who watched the lunar voyage of Apollo

51、 11 were shocked as we saw the first menwalk on the moon and return to earth. But to get there, those astronauts had to break out of the tremendous gravity pull of the earth. More energy was spent in the first few minutes of lift-off, in the first few miles of travel, than was used over the next sev

52、eral days to travel half million miles.Habits, too, have tremendous gravity pull. However, most people dont realize or admit it. Getting rid of bad habits really requires great willpower and some changes in our lives. Lift-off takes tremendous effort, but once we break out of the pull of gravity, we

53、 can enjoy unprecedented (空前的) freedom.Like any natural force, gravity pull can work with us or against us. The gravity pull of some of ourhabits may currently be keeping us from going where we want to go. But it is also gravity pull that keepsour world together and keeps the planets in their orbits

54、 and our universe in order. It is a powerful force, and if we use it effectively, we can use the gravity pull of habit to create the order necessary to establish effectiveness in our lives.67. Why did the author quote the saying in the first paragraph?ATo support the authors opinion about the habit.BBecause a great educator asked the author to do it.CTo show the author was a wise man.DBecause the author liked the old saying very much.68. Why does the author say habits have powerful effects on our lives?A. Because a habit is like a cable
