7．The bicycle is one of the simplest and most useful inventions in the world．What is the most surprising is that it was not invented earlier，although the great inventor Leonardo da Vinci had drawn pictures for bicycles and also for flying machines and some other things．Those things were not produced until long after he died．
A person riding a bicycle uses very little energy to make the bicycle move，and there is no pollution at all when you are riding．In Chengdu，a lot of people rode bicycles to work twenty years ago．But cars instead of them now．Even so in developed countries，most people do not travel to work by bicycle．It is not because the bicycles are expensive or people feel tired if they ride to work．It is because the number of cars on the roads is becoming larger．It certainly becomes more dangerous to ride a bicycle．As a result，more people put their bicycles away and go to work in their cars．And in this way，the traffic is very crowded when people go to work by car in the morning and go home after work，the situation is becoming worse and worse．
Perhaps the best way to make riding safer and more popular is to create paths only for bicycles，and to make it so difficult and expensive for drivers to take their cars into the city that they will go back to use their bicycles．There has been a special way for bicycles on the road in Chengdu now．I think more and more people will return to ride bicycles to go to work．The air of cities will be much fresher．The sky will be a lot bluer．The people will live much happier lives．

54．Who invented the bicycle？C
A．GergyBush．
B．Mark．
C．Leonardo da Vinci．
D．Harry Borty．

2．In China，many people are leaving the countryside to find jobs in the cities，because the countryside is much poorer than the city，and often there isn't much work there．Services such as hospital and transport（交通）are usually much better in the city than in the countryside．They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city．
But in the big cities of Europe like London or Paris，people are moving out of the city．These rich families want to live a quieter life．They are tired of the noise and the dirt（塵土）of the city，and they are tired of the crowded streets，crowded trains and buses．They don't want to live in the cities any more．They want a house with a garden in the countryside，and breathe the fresh air there．
So they move out of the cities．Some don't go very far，just a little way out of the city，to the towns near the cities，other people move to the real countryside with sheep，cows and green fields．There，they start new lives and try to make new friends．

As a result，quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city．"It's wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights"，they say．

C．People in the countryside don't have much work to do there．
D．Services in cities are usually much better than those in the countryside．
52．Why do some rich families in Europe move to the countrysideB？
A．Because they will find good jobs．
B．Because they are tired of living in the city．
C．Because they can make more money there．
D．Because they like feeding sheep and cows in the green fields．
53．After moving to the countryside，some people in Europe feel unhappy．BecauseD．
A．they can't make much money

C．some people in the countryside aren't always very friendly to them
D．a(chǎn)ll of the above
54．The underlined sentence in the last paragraph showsA．
A．they are happy to move back to the city        
B．they miss their friends in the countryside
C．they still want to move to the countryside
D．they are tired of the noise and the crowded streets in the city
55．The best title of this passage may be"C"．

19．Researchers say bedtime rules may improve a child's development．A new study found better results in four-year-olds who go to bed around the same time every night and sleep at least eleven hours．Getting less than that caused lower abilities（能力）in language，reading and early math skills．
Researchers studied about eight thousand children whose parents took part in the research on early childhood．The parents answered questions by telephones by telephone at nine months and again at four years．
Researcher Erika Gaylor asked parents to follow routines（慣例）like reading books or telling stories to their children．Children who go to bed after nine o'clock took longer to fall asleep and slept less．Children also got less sleep if they did not have bedtime routines．
Another study found that more sleep may even make a person run faster．The study was small-seven players in the Stanford University team．For the study，they had at least ten hours of sleep each night during the season．After seven to eight weeks of more sleep，the players ran faster in short training races．They also felt less sleepy during the day．
Stanford sleep researcher Cheri Mah says sleep should be part of a player's training program．This is some of her advice：Adults should try to get seven to eight hours of sleep a night．Teenagers and young adults should get nine hours or more．Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day．And short naps（打盹）during the day to get more sleep．

67．According to Erika Gaylor，what can help children fall asleep？B
A．Going to bed after nine o'clock．
B．Doing different things at bedtime．
C．Doing the same things at bedtime．
68．What does the underlined word "that" in the first paragraph refer to（指的是…）？B

1．Scientists have a way they use when they are trying to learn something new．It is called the scientific method of inquiry（科學(xué)探究方法）．
The first step is to ask a question．It could be"Why do birds fly south for the winter？"Or it could be"How does water turn into ice？"It could be about anything．
Then the scientist must do research．He or she could learn as much about the topic as possible．Next，the scientist makes a hypothesis．It could be"Bird fly south for the winter because they are cold．"Or it could be"Water will turn into ice when the temperature gets low enough"It's a so called educated（有根據(jù)的）guess．Now，the scientist has a hypothesis，so it must be tested．Scientists do this by conducting experiments in labs，and others do them outdoors．
After the experiments are complete，the scientist must analyze the data（分析數(shù)據(jù)）．And he should compare it with the hypothesis．Was the hypothesis right or wrong？Even with a wrong hypothesis，scientists can still learn a lot．Finally，they should write about their results．That way，other people can learn，too．

57．The scientific method of inquiry starts from aA．
A．question　
B．research
C．report
58．The underlined word"hypothesis．"means"A"．
A．guess
B．model
C．reason
59．We can test a hypothesis byC．
A．a(chǎn)sking a question

C．doing experiment
60．To the question we ask，we can always have aBin the end．
