Our factories and homes burn coal and oil. Every year we have forest fires somewhere. Many scientists believe that the climate is changing.
The earth will perhaps be warmer by about 7 degrees centigrade. At the South Pole and the North Pole, the ice will melt (融化). The sea level (海平面) will rise by about 7meters. As a result, water will cover cities like London, Tokyo and New York. Some ports and towns along the coasts will disappear under water.
Some other scientists think that the dust, smoke and pollution from coal, wood and oil fires will block out the sunrays(紫外线). Then the earth will become colder and great sheets of ice will cover Europe and North America.
When chemicals in the air mix with rain, we have acid (酸) rain. Acid rain can bring us great harm. It destroys forests and kills life in lakes and rivers.
People are beginning to see how serious the problem is. They find it important to work with nature instead of against it. They are trying to save the earth in many different ways. But one of the most important things to do is to make people understand that saving the earth is saving ourselves.
Some scientists believe that          .               
A. the earth is growing warmer
B. we can find oil in our forests
C. we have to burn down the forests every year
Ice at the poles will          if the earth gets warmer.
A. cover cities like London and Tokyo
B. raise the sea level by 7 degrees
C. become water and make the sea level rise                
Acid rain          .
A. brings great changes in our climate
B. kills pests in lakes and forests
C. kills the fish in rivers and lakes                        
What can we learn from the third paragraph?
A. The dust together with pollution from coal, wood and oil fires will bring us more heat from the sun.
B. The sunrays will come more because of the dust and pollution from fires.
C. As a result of the dust and pollution from coal, wood and oil fires, the earth will become colder.                                                                  
Which statement is TRUE?
A. People have come to know the importance of working with nature.                
B. All the scientists agree that our earth is sure to become warmer and warmer.
C. The sea level will rise if the earth gets colder.

Reading is the key to school success and , like any skill, it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly, correctly and without thinking. Educators call it “automaticity (自动性)”
A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and finding the meaning of the words. With practice, he stumbles less and less, reading by the phrases(短语). With automaticity, he doesn’t have to think about the meaning of words, so he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text.
It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others, but also got better results in exams.
According to Rossman, the key to automaticity is the amount(数量) of time that a child spends reading ,not his IQ. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity . It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.
You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable for your level. If you read aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentence, you probably are an automatic reader. If you read brokenly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, you need more practice.
The sentence “Reading is the key to school success” means that reading___________.

A.helps school develop faster
B.is the key to a successful school
C.helps students go to a key school
D.can improve students’ learning results

Rossman tells that any child who _____________ will probably be an automatic reader.

A.turns off TV one night 4 weeks
B.reads books by the word quickly
C.spends an hour reading every day
D.gets the same grades as others in exams

The underlined word “stumbles” in the passage means “_____________” in Chinese.

A.结结巴巴地读 B.全神贯注地读
C.心不在焉地读 D.声情并茂地读

The best title for the passage should be “ ______________________”.

A.IQ Is the Key to the Automaticity
B.TV Is Bad for Children’s Reading
C.Automaticity Depends on Practice
D.Automatic readers Will Be Successful
