Passage 1 ( 2015 河北)
Many people believe that yellowing and wetness are the greatest enemy of stamps. In fact,stamps are afraid of not only wetness,but also light and dirty things.People protect their stamps in several different ways.
To protect stamps,we should never touch the stamps with our hands.This avoids moving dirty things onto them.Stamp tweezers (懾 子) should be used in all conditions.
Stamps are printed things.The colour will slowly disappear if the stamps are put in the light for a long time. So we should not put stamps in the light for long.Direct sunlight must be avoided as well.
Wetness is an important problem for stamps.Some collectors will put stamps in separate plastic (塑料) bags. However,it is possible that some stamps have taken in some water from the air before they are put into the plastic bags.Stamps become yellow easily and rapidly after they take in wet air.To protect the stamps,some people also put the stamps into a special room which has a machine to keep the air cool and dry.However,not many people can afford that.
To keep stamps,stamp collectors usually put them under plastic covers.lt is a common and simple way.This helps because the plastic cover keeps the stamps off the wet air. It also stops the fingers from touching the stamps.
Some collectors prefer to store stamps inside a plastic box with desiccants (干燥劑) .However,we should take care not to let the stamps touch the desiccants.On top of that,don't take your stamps out on a wet day.
1.題完成句子;2—3題簡略回答問題;4題找出并寫下全文 的主題句;5題將文中畫線句子譯成漢語。
One way to protect stamps is that we should never touch them .
2. What will disappear if we put the stamps in the light for long?

Passage 5 (2015江蘇宿遷泗洪適應(yīng)性考試,六)
閱讀下面短文,根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容填寫表格,每空限填一詞。
Mistakes are great teachers.Success comes to you if you are willing to risk making mistakes.You may achieve your goals and wishes,and you can also learn from those mistakes. And in order to learn from mistakes,you must be willing to pay for them.
Mistakes can be of great value,but when you try to get others to pay for your mistakes,then you will lose the chance to learn from them.When something goes wrong,it’s usually very easy to find someone else^ mistakes,but that is not useful.
Much of the value of mistakes comes from the fact that they need a cost that must be paid.The person who learns the most from a mistake is the one who pays the price for that mistake.
When you make a mistake,what you shouldn’t do is to run away from it.You need to accept it because you can learn a lot from it.The mistake has been made,so make the most of it. Pay the price,learn the lesson,and you will grow much stronger.
After you make a mistake,don5t look back at it long. Remember the reason for it,and then look forward.Mistakes are lessons of wisdom.The past cannot be changed.The present is still in your power. Make full use of your mistakes to achieve your goals and wishes.

Passage 8 (2014 浙江杭州,B)
How quickly can you count from one to ten? Do you use ten dif?ferent words to do it? Can you do it in English,or do you have to use your first language? Do you count on your fingers? Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world.But sci?entists have discovered that it is not true.
People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers.In the United States,people begin counting with their first finger,which they extend or stick out.They then extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb (梅指) to count to five.Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten. InChina,people count by using different finger positions. In this way,a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand.
Besides ways of finger counting,scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers.Some langua?ges have only a few words for numbers,and others have no words for numbers.A group of scientists studied aboriginal (土著白勺) people in Australia.These people don't have haml movements to stand for numbers. They don’t even have words for numbers.However,they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers.
In a similar study,researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discovered that people of the Pirahfi tribe (部落) in northwestern Brazil don't have words for numbers such as “ one ” or “three”.They are not able to say “five trees” or “ten trees” but can say“ some trees”,‘‘ more trees”,or“ many trees” . Professor Edward Gibson said that most people believe that everyone knows how to count but here is a group that does not count.They could learn,but it's not useful in their culture,so they’ve never picked it up."
Although all humans are able to understand quantities (數(shù)量) ,not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting.Num?ber words in a certain language are a result of people needing num?bers in their daily lives. Now we know that people have different ideas about numbers and math,too.1. The writer begins with the four questions in order to .
A. make a survey B. interest readers
C. tell a story D. solve math problems
2. What do we learn from the difference in finger counting between theU.S.andChina?
A. People fromChinacount much faster than people from theU.S.
B. People fromChinaneed two hands to count from one to ten.
C. People of different cultures may use different ways of finger counting.
D. People of different cultures use the same way of finger counting.
3. Which of the following is true about aboriginal Australians?
A. They have only a few words for numbers.
B. They have hand movements to stand for numbers.
C. They can only count to five on their fingers.
D. They can understand different ideas about numbers.
4. The study of the Piraha tribe shows that .
A. people all over the world know how to count
B. people of the tribe have words for numbers
C. some groups of people are not smart enough to count D. counting is not useful in the culture of the tribe
5. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. People from different cultures have different ideas about numbers and math.
B. Chinese people can count more easily on their fingers than Americans.
C. In some aboriginal cultures,people don't even know how to count.
D. Some languages don't have number words because people don't need numbers.
