21、   In the United States and Canada, there are over 6,000 museums, almost twice as many as there were 25 years ago. However, they have changed a lot. They are no longer places where one “should” go—they are places to enjoy.

At a science museum in Canada, you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless electricity passes through your body. At the Children′s Museum in New York, you can play an African drum. There are no “Do Not Touch” signs in some other museums in the USA.

More and more museum directors(馆长) have realized that people learn best when they can become part of what they are seeing. In many science museums, the visitors are encouraged to touch, listen, and experiment so as to find scientific rules for themselves.

The old museums have been changing and the government is encouraging the building of new, modern museums. One cause of all these changes is the growing number of young people in the population. They see things in a new and different way. They want art that they can take part in. The same is true of science and history.

【1】There were about ________ museums in America and Canada 25 years ago.

A．3,000

B．4,000

C．5,000

D．6,000

【2】In many science museums the visitors can 　　　　.

A．play the drums

B．make signs

C．change their rules

D．do experiments

【3】Which of the following is TRUE?

A．You cannot see “Do Not Touch” signs in some modern museums in America.

B．All the things can be touched in all the museums.

C．People will not build more new and modern museums.

D．The museums have been changing because old people want them to change.

【4】The best title for the passage is 　　　　.

A．Science Museums

B．Old Museums

C．Children′s Museums

D．Modern Museums

22、Does handwriting matter (要紧)? Not very much, according to many educators. However, scientists say it is far too soon to declare (宣布) handwriting is not important. New evidence (证据) shows that the link (联系) between handwriting and educational development is deep.

Children not only learn to read more quickly when they first learn to write by hand, but they are also better able to create ideas and remember information. In other words, it’s not only what we write that matters—but how.

A study led by Karin James, a psychologist at Indiana University, gave support to that view. A group of children did not learn to read and write. They were offered a letter or a shape on a card and asked to copy it in one of three ways: draw the picture on a page but with a dotted outline (虚线), draw it on a piece of blank white paper, or type it on a computer. Then the researchers put the children in a brain scanner (扫描) and showed them the picture again.

It was found that when children drew a picture freehand (徒手画) without a dotted outline or a computer, the activities in three areas of the brain increased (增加). These three areas work actively in adults when they read and write. Children chose the other two ways and they showed no such result. Dr. James attributes (归咎于) the differences to the process of free handwriting: Not only must we first plan and take action in a way but we are also likely to produce a result that is variable. Those are not necessary when we have an outline.

It’s time for educators to change their minds and pay more attention to children’s handwriting.

【1】What do scientists mean by saying “it is far too soon to declare handwriting is not important”?

A．Handwriting is not very important to children.

B．Handwriting has nothing to do with educational development.

C．Handwriting can not be learned in a short time.

D．Handwriting actually matters at present.

【2】What does “that view” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．How we write is as important as what we write.

B．Children create ideas and remember information.

C．A group of students should know what to write.

D．Children read quickly when they write by hand.

【3】Which is NOT the children’s task in the experiment (实验)?

A．Copy the picture on a page but with a dotted outline.

B．Draw the picture on a place of white paper.

C．Put a brain scanner and show the picture again.

D．Type the picture on a computer.

【4】According to the passage, the writer ________ handwriting.

A．agrees to give up

B．refuses to give up

C．doesn’t care about

D．doesn’t think highly of

23、On November 18th, 1908, three men went up in a balloon. They started early in London. The headman was Auguste Gaudron, and the other two men were Tannar and Maitland. They had a big balloon, and they were ready for a long way.

Soon they heard the sea below them. They were carrying the usual rope, and it was hanging down from the basket of the balloon. At the end of the rope they had tied a metal box. This could hold water, or it could be empty. So they were able to change its weight. They were also carrying some bags of sand.

After the sun rose, the balloon went higher. It went up to 3,000 meters, and the air was very cold. The water in the balloon became ice. Snow fell past the men’s basket, and they could see more snow on the ground. There was also some snow on the balloon, and that made it very heavy. It began to go down towards the ground. The men tried to throw out some more sand, but it was hard. They tried to break the icy sand with their knives, but it was not easy. The work was slow and they were still falling, so they had to drop some whole bags of sand. One of them fell on an icy lake below and made a black hole in the ice.

At last they pulled the box into the basket. It was still snowing, so they climbed to get away from the snow. They rose to 5,100 meters! Everything became icy. They were so cold that they decided to land. They came down in Poland heavily but safely. They had traveled 1,797 kilometers from London!
