You can jump alone or with your classmate. You can also help turn a long rope for many others to jump over, one at a time. If you jump alone, you will need a short rope and it will be just enough for your height. Try ropes of different lengths until you find a right one for your size. A rope should be turned slowly. It must also be turned high enough to let you jump freely and safely. Turning the rope freely and safely needs careful timing. In rope jumping, timing means turning the rope slowly enough for you to jump over at the right time without its striking your feet. When you jump rope, you breathe faster and your face has a healthy color. But if you jump too many times at first, you will get tired. You must learn when to stop for a rest before you jump again. If you practice, you can increase the number of times without resting.（1）How many people can join in rope jumping? A.One alone.B.Two.C.One or more.D.Two or more.（2）Why should the rope be turned high and slowly? A.Because it can let students jump high.B.Because it can let students jump slowly.C.Because it can let students jump happily.D.Because it can let students jump successfully.（3）What does the underlined word increase in Paragraph 3 mean?

Everyone on Earth should care about and protect the earth! The earth has warmed by about 1F （华氏度） over the past 100 years, but why and how? Well, scientists are not quite sure. Maybe the earth gets warmer and warmer on its own. But many scientists say that people are doing many things which makes the earth warmer. First, greenhouse effect （温室效应） is a very important reason for the change of the earth. People give out too much energy into the air every year. It makes the earth warmer. Climate （气候） change is another important reason. Sometimes it becomes too hot and sometimes too cold. Sometimes there is too much rain and sometimes too little. The change of the climate makes the earth warmer. In turn, the warmth of the earth changes the climate, too. When the earth becomes warmer, there may be more rain and a rise in sea level. It will affect the growth of plants, animals and people. On a Pacific island, 100 people have to move to higher ground because the sea is rising. These people can no longer live on the coast. Before that, two islands without people went underwater in 1999. Scientists say that the seas can rise by nearly one meter by 2100. People can affect the earths air, land and water. As for us, we can do many things to protect the earth. For example, we can use fridges less. We can tell more people about protecting the earth. （1）Earth Day is probably set for people to _. A.learn more about the earthB.make full use of the earthC.take better care of the earth.D.study the warmth of the earth（2）Greenhouse effect comes from_.

A.not very clearB.completely secretC.well knownD.not given yet（5）The passage mainly tells us that _. A.there is more rain nowB.we should protect the earthC.we must stop pollutionD.sea level is getting higher【答案】 （1）C（2）D（3）B（4）A（5）B 【解析】【分析】 这篇短文中作者主要分析了地球变暖的原因，并号召我们行动起来保护地球。（1）推理题。 根据April 22 is Earth Day. Everyone on Earth should care about and protect the earth 4月22日是地球日。地球上的每个人都应该关心和保护地球 ，可知 地球日可能是为人们更好地保护地球准备的，故选C。（2）推理题。 根据People give out too much energy into the air every year. It makes the earth warmer 人们每年向空气中释放太多的能量。它使地球变暖 ，可知温室效应来自于人类的活动 ，故选D。（3）推理题。根据 greenhouse effect （温室效应） is a very important reason for the change of the earth. People give out too much energy into the air every year. It makes the earth warmer. Climate （气候） change is another important reason. Sometimes it becomes too hot and sometimes too cold. Sometimes there is too much rain and sometimes too little. The change of the climate makes the earth warmer. In turn, the warmth of the earth changes the climate 温室效应是地球变化的一个非常重要的原因。人们每年向空气中释放太多的能量。它使地球变暖。气候变化是另一个重要原因。有时太热，有时太冷。有时雨太大，有时雨太少。气候的变化使地球变暖。反过来，地球的温暖也改变了气候 可知， 气候和地球的变暖许多因素相互影响 ，故选B。（4）推理题。 根据Well, scientists are not quite sure.

Some value it highly, believing that it is good for social progress. Others say that competition is bad. It sets one person against another. And it leads to unfriendly relationship between people. I have taught many children who believe that their self-worth depended on how well they did at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and death matters. In their single-minded dream of success, the development of many other human qualities （品质）is sadly forgotten. However, while some seem to be lost in the desire （渴望）to succeed, others take a different attitude. In a culture which values only the winners, they are strongly against competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who are under competitive pressures（压力）from their parents or society. They are always told to be the top ones, but they think its really hard. When I teach these young people, I often find them in a desire to fail. They seem to search for failure（失败）by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: I may have lost, but it doesnt matter because I really didnt try. If I had tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief. They think ones self-respect depends on how well one does compared with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this fear begins to dissolve（消除）can we discover a new meaning in competition, （1）Why do some people welcome competition according to the passag? A.It pushes society forward.B.It improves ones abilities.C.It develops human qualities.D.It builds up friendly relationship.（2）The underlined phrase the most vocal in Paragraph 3 means . A.those who try their best to winB.those who value competition most highlyC.those who depend on others most for successD.those who are against competition most strongly（3）Which of the following may the writer agree to? A.Every effort should be paid back.B.Competition should be encouraged.C.Winning should be a life-and-death matter.D.Fear of failure should be taken away in competition.（4）What does this passage mainly talk about? A.Competition helps to set up self-respect.B.Competition is bad for social development.C.Ideas about competition are different among people.D.Failures are necessary experiences in competition.【答案】 （1）A（2）D（3）D（4）C 【解析】【分析】短文大意：人们对比赛的态度不一，很多孩子过于重视成功与失败，以至于失去了其他人格品质，
