How could we tell time if there were no watches or clocks anywhere in the world? The sun was probably the world’s first “clock”, except in the far north, where the Eskimos(爱斯基摩人) live. There, it’s dark most of the winter, and light most of the summer. But in most of the world, people have used the sun for a clock. Even today, if you don’t have a clock, you still know that when the sun shines, it’s day, and when it’s dark, it’s night. The sun can also tell you if it’s morning, noon, or afternoon.

People who live near the sea can tell time fro m the tides. In the daytime, for about six hours, the water rises higher and higher on the beach. And then it goes down and down for about six hours. The same thing happens again at night. There are two high tides and two low tides every 24 hours.

Seamen on a ship learn how to tell time by looking at the

moon and the stars. The whole sky is their clock.

In some places in the world the wind comes up at about the

same time every day or changes direction or stops blowing.

In these places the wind can be the clock.

A sand clock is an even better clock. If you had fine dry

sand in a glass shaped like the one in the picture, you would have what is called an hourglass. The sand in the hourglass goes from the top part to the bottom part in exactly one hour. When the hourglass is turned over, the sand will take another hour to go back again.

( )7. According to(根据) the passage, there are ____________ ways to tell time besides（除了）the clock and watch.

A. 3

B. 4

C. 5

D. 7

( )8. The Eskimos in the far north can’t use the sun for a clock because _______.

A.they know very little about the sun

B. the sun there never goes down in winter

C. it’s too cold for them to go out to watch the sun

D. it has long dark winters and long light summers

( )9. The underlined(下划线) word “tides” in the passage means ______.

A. 洋流

B. 潮汐

C. 海啸

D. 波浪

( )10. In which page of a newspaper can you most probably read this passage?

A. News

B. Science

C. Business

D. Advertisement

七、任务型阅读阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容完成表格中所缺信息，在答题卷上相应的横线

上填写答案，每空限填一词（本大题共5分，每小题1分）

Nearly every parent says that we never grow up. In fact, we are maybe 13 or 14 years old. In their eyes, we are always little ones and always do wrong things. For example, when I need to stay at home alone, they always worry about me and my life without them.

Most parents always think that they have offered the best things they can to make their children live in a comfortable world. They buy their children pretty clothes, cool shoes, expensive school things, and always a thousand-yuan-cost bike. They think that they have done everything they can for their dear children. In return, they only want their children to work hard and do well in the examinations.

But why their children still can’t understand them? Does it mean that they still want more material things? No. As a matter of fact, what they want is a true family. What does a true family mean? I think it means a place where we can hide ourselves from the outside cold world. From here, we can get warmth, we can get consolation（安慰）, and we can get happiness. And one important thing is that we should be stronger and more confident in the outside world because we know that we have a family.

So I think that parents should sit down to talk with their child to let them know that they have a true family, so the children and their parents can understand each other better and better. Then, no children will be regarded as a little ones.

Li qiang is one of my classmates. He has changed a lot this term. He used to spend much time playing computer games. He didn’t like reading books. But now he finds reading is fun. He reads for an hour every day. Science books are his favourite because he thinks they are interesting. Usually he borrows books from the library or downloads science stori es from ipad. Why is he interested in reading books? Because he gets fun from reading and he thinks reading can help him get much knowledge and open up a new world to him. It is helpful to us to have good reading habits.
