A city without cars would be very strange , right ? But Venice is such a city .

Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It wasn't built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city.

Even so, travel isn't that difficult. The waterways have always been the best way to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go. People in Venice move from place to place by boat.

Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem. Sometimes tourists will have such strange experiences . One moment they walk across the Rialto Bridge , and there’s nothing special . But when they come back to the bridge an hour later , it’s underwater and everyone is wearing rain shoes .

Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters. Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. This has made ice of the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋) melt (融化). Every year, high waters hit the city in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is underwater.

Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower. The Italian government has asked some of Italy’s biggest companies to build the MOST project , which was planned to be built under the seawater to stop the rising water . Anyway , this project is helping solve the problem .

1.According to the passage , Venice is __________ of Italy .

D. more than half of the city is underwater

4.The passage is mainly about __________ of Venice .

Have you heard about the periodic table (元素周期表) lately? Well, there’s some big news about this special table, but first, remember that the periodic table is used for all the elements（元素）, or things that make up our world.

Elements are all around us. Iron is one of the most common elements found on the earth. You probably know the element oxygen (氧), which is the element that we breathe in all the time. And elements can combine (結合) to make new things like H2O. This is hydrogen (氫) and oxygen put together, also known as water! Learning about these things helps us better understand the world we live in.

But have you ever noticed something missing in the periodic table? There were already 114 elements. But the seventh row of the table was not finished, until now!

In December, scientists from the IUPAC（國際純粹與應用化學聯(lián)合會) found the four elements that were missing. They are elements 113, 115, 117 and 118.

“To scientists, this is of greater value than an Olympic gold medal,” Ryoji Noyori, a Nobel honored chemist said.

The new elements are heavy metals and were made in lab. These kinds of elements can’t be found in nature. Scientists are still looking for ways to use these elements, and other elements in the eighth row in our daily lives.

Scientists have been working on this for 10 years, but the work is not done. Now they will prepare to look for “element 119 and beyond”. But for now, be mindful (留心的) when you read your science books because the periodic table might be outdated (過時的).

1. In Paragraph 2, the writer mainly talks about_________.

A. examples of some common elements

B. the importance of oxygen

C. how elements make new things

D. how to learn about elements

2.The newly found elements are ________.

A. elements 113, 114, 115, 116

B. elements 113, 114, 117, 118

C. elements 113, 115, 117, 118

D. elements 113, 115, 117, 119

3.The underlined word “beyond” means ________ in the last paragraph.

A.更前面 B.更后面 C.更上面 D.更里面

4.Which of the following about the new elements is NOT true?

A. They are heavy metals.

B. They were made in labs.

C. They can’t be found in nature.

D. They are widely used in our daily lives.

Yi Xiaojing, 21, a student at Guangdong University, has a big family – her two parents, a younger brother and two younger sisters. Lin took her role as the “big sister” seriously. When her first sister was born, Yi took turns with her mom holding the baby late into the night. “I almost did everything that was supposed to be a parent’s job, but I felt proud of myself,” she said.

Not all Yi’s classmates shared her experiences because of the family planning policy (政策), a law that was carried out in China about forty years ago. But the situation is about to change. A new policy made on October 29 said all couples can now have two children.

The new policy is expected to help raise the population of China. Recently, China has been facing an aging population and labor shortages because of the low birth rate (比率).

The two-child policy may also be the gift for every only child. Researchers found that growing up with a brother or sister can have good influence on one’s mental health.

“Brothers and sisters do matter in unique ways. They give kids something that parents don’t.” Laura Walker, a professor from Beijing University, told China Daily. She noted that having a brother or a sister protects teenagers against loneliness, fear and so on.

Liu Hao, 20, from Shenzhen University, has a 2-year-younger sister. When her sister disagreed with parents over choosing a college major, she helped her to communicate with parents. “If necessary, I would always have her back,” said Liu. “The best part of having a sister is that you have a partner, friend and supporter throughout your life.”

But children with brothers or sisters also have to learn to understand and look after each other, said Laura.

1.There are ________ children in Yi Xiaojing’s family.

A. three B. four C. five D. six

2.The one-child policy caused some problems except ________.

A. the aging population

B. labor shortages

C. the population growth

D. the low birth ratewww.

3.We can infer from the article that ________.

A.Yi xiaojing doesn’t like her sister

B. Liu Hao has a 17-year-old sister

C. Laura is against the two-child policy

D. The one-child policy is out of date now

4.The best title for this article should be ________.

A. Brothers and sisters are good for us.

B. The family planning policy is bad.

C. The two-child policy helps a lot.

D. A new policy was made.
