At that time Yangzhou was a famous port and one of few biggest cities in East Asia.With the improvement of the local economy and easy transportation way, there happened in the history a special local culture, which has an important place in Chinese culture. Many famous men of letters, poets, artists, scholars(学者), statesmen, scientists and national heroes in the history were born in, lived in or had connection with Yangzhou.

Zheng Banqiao, a famous Chinese painting painter in the Qing Dynasty heading a group called “Eight Eccentrics”, had strongly influenced Chinese paintings. Wang Zhong and Yuan Yuan and some other scholars formed school of Yangzhou Scholars and achieved great success in the study of classic Chinese and writing.

Yangzhou：A Famous Tour CityDA recent survey of 2000 parents in Britain showed that they are often afraid of science questions asked by their curious children only because they have no idea what the answer is. Here is a list of some simple questions that you can ask your parents to see if they know the answers.Q: Why is the sky blue?A: You probably know white sunlight is made up of seven colors. While it moves in a straight line when going through space, it starts to divide as it hits ―raised area‖ in the atmosphere. The ones with longest wavelengths pass through easily. The blue , however , can be taken in by the gas molecules (分子) because it has a shorter wavelength , which in turn scatters (使分散) it in different directions. That’s why when you look up at the sky, it appears to be blue.Q:Why does the moon sometimes appear during the daytime?A: The simple answer to that is because just like any other object it is being lit by the sun. As long as it is around 45 degrees or even 90 degrees off the sun, it will receive light and be able to be seen. The only time it is not able to be seen during its 28-day orbit (轨道) around the earth is when it is right between the earth and the sun. That’s because its back , which is not lit by the sun, is facing us.Q: Where do birds/ honeybees go in winter?A: While the bird part is quite easy, since a lot of them get together and travel, the honeybee part is likely to puzzle your parents. It turns out that these busy insects stop being that active when the temperature drops below 50°F. Instead ,they get together in the lower central area of the hive （蜂巢）and form a ball around their queen. This helps keep both warm enough to survive the cold winter months.42. The sky looks blue mainly because the color blue in the sunlight_______.A.has the longest wavelength among all the colorsB.cannot be taken in by the gas moleculesC.does n’t hit ―raised area‖ in the atmosphereD.cannot pass through space successfully43. How long can’t the moon be seen during the daytime in a month?A. 2B. 28C.30D. 3144. What do honeybees choose to do when the temperature drops below 50°F?A.They choose to be active in the wild.B.They choose to keep themselves warm.C.They choose to travel to a warm place.D.They choose to get together in the upper central area of the hive.45. What is NOT explained in the passage?A.Why is the sky blue?B.Why is the moon able to be seen during the daytime?C.Why do birds travel in winter?D.Where do honeybees go in winter?四、词汇运用（共l0小题；每小题l分，计l0分）（每空一词）46.

We may face dangers like walking into desks or chairs, receiving unexpected cuts from a paper knife and so on. Industrial jobs have similar and more dangers like getting body parts hurt by machines or falling from a height.No one wants to get hurt. Some accidents are avoidable(可避免的). Most accidents happen because of common things seen every day—an open desk drawer, a chair pulled out too far, water on the floor and so on. We slowly get used to these things we see every day and never think about what they could possibly become in the future.Think about the following to prevent dangers to yourself and others:1. If there is something you see and know may become a danger for yourself or others, do something about it. Close a desk drawer, clean up or put a sign over the water, turn off the power before leaving, and so on.2. Get extra persons’ help and support on a task that is too hard for a single person.3. Study the situation and think what could possibly happen and change if necessary. Do it before something happens and you won’t have to say some day, ― I should have… How sorry I feel…‖To use an old phrase ― Safety is everyone’s duty.‖ Looking down on it could lead to being hurt. Keep the rule in mind every day ― Everyone wants to go home in the same condition the came to work in –or better.‖It was very cold.
