23、黑。(A)Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy; theres no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your childrens curiosity. Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visite

24、d a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me textbook questions about schooling, salary and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said, Now that weve finished with your lists, do you have questions

25、 of your own about science? After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, Have you ever seen a grasshopper eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why? This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours. Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years hav

26、e shown that, after asking a question, adults usually wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their wait time to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and creative answers. Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a chil

27、d involved in a science discussion, dont jump in with Thats right or Very good. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, Thats interesting or Id never thought

28、 of it that way before, or coming up with more questions or ideas. Never push a child to Think. It doesnt make sense, for children are always thinking, without your telling them to. Whats more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few

29、 words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target (对象) for your disagreement. Lastly, show; dont tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glas

30、s(放大镜), and theyll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates, set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.51. To raise childrens interest, the most important thing for adults to do is _.A. to let them see the world aroundB. to

31、 share the childrens curiosityC. to explain difficult phrases about scienceD. to supply the children with lab equipment52. Children can answer questions in a more logical, complete and creative way if adults _.A. ask them to answer quickly B. wait for one or two seconds after a questionC. tell them

32、to answer the next day D. wait at least for three seconds after a question53. In which paragraph(s) does the author tell us what to say to encourage children in a science discussion?A. The second and third B. The fourth and fifthC. The fifth and sixth D. The seventh54. The author mentions all of the

33、 following techniques except that adults should _.A. tell their children stories instead of reciting factsB. offer their children chances to see things for themselves C. be patient enough when their children answer questionsD. encourage their children to ask questions of their own（B）The Four Treasur

34、esIn the 5th or 6th century Japan adopted the Chinese writing system. It is of no surprise then that the Japanese, being the industrious people that they are, adopted the methods and ideology of the Chinese writing system as well. As proof of the Japanese single mindedness they have stuck to this ri

35、gid style of writing for the past 1500 years.The Chinese belief that that government has its foundation in writing dedicated great importance to the Four Treasures of Writing: brush, ink, inkstone, and paper. Upon copying the Chinese bureaucratic(官僚政治的) system of government the Japanese also adopted

36、 the Chinese idea of the Four Treasures.

To understand fiber optics(光纤), however, you can try an experiment.Put a drop or two of milk into the glass of water. Turn off the ligh

46、ts. Shine the light from your flashlight(手电筒) through the top of the glass at an angle(角度) of about 45 degrees. Put a piece of white paper against the glass when the beam(光束)of light is shining. Move the paper so you can see where the beam is coming out of the glass. You should see a spot of light.

47、Some of the light has passed through the water and through the glass. You see it on the paper. You also see another beam going down into the glass. It is being reflected down into the glass.Next move the flashlight so that the beam is coming straighter down(30 degrees) into the water. You will see t

48、he same phenomenon: some of the light is reflected back into the glass. And some escapes out. Now move the beam of light from the flashlight slowly up until you cannot see any light escaping. This point is called the “point of total internal reflection.” The word internal means “inside.” All the lig

49、ht is staying inside the glass. There is no beam showing a bright spot on the white paper. All the light energy is inside the glass.The glass of milky water is like a strand(线)of glass. A fiber optic tube is a bundle of long thin strands of glass, really many tubes. However, the principle(原理) is the

50、 same: at a certain angle, all the light energy that goes into the glass fiber comes out the other end.Light is energy. Sound is energy. Radio waves and electricity are both energy. They can all be changed into light, and as light they can all travel along a glass fiber. Light travels at the rate of

51、 186,000 miles per second. Therefore, a message can travel that fast in a glass fiber. This is the principle, or law of nature, that makes fiber optics work.59.Which figure shows the last step of the experiment?60. The purpose of the experiment is to tell us .A. how fast light travelsB. how fiber op

52、tics worksC. how light travels in a glass of waterD. how fiber optics helps mankind61.In the experiment, makes the biggest difference.A. the angel at which to shine the light from the flashlightB. the amount of water in the glass of milkC. the number of drops of milk to pour into the glass of waterD

53、. the size of the hole through which to shine light from the flashlight62. The last step is to prove .A. no beam is shown on the white paperB. no light can be noticed inside the glassC. no reflection can be seenD. no energy is wasted63. Which of the following can be the best title?A. Experiment of L

54、ight TravelB. Principles of Fiber OpticsC. Communication on Fiber OpticsD.
