When you look up into the sky at night, have you ever felt that your eyes are deceiving you It seems that stars are moving all the time.
Actually, there’s nothing wrong with your eyes. This twinkle (闪烁的) effect is called scintillation (闪烁现象). Scintillation happens because of air movement in the earth’s atmosphere (大气). Light is “bent (弯曲)” when it travels through different parts of the earth atmosphere. As the air in the earth’s atmosphere is moving all the time, the light traveling through the atmosphere makes the stars look as if they are moving, too.
The same thing also happens to things on the ground. On a very hot and shiny day, if you look at the road, you will see that the image (影像) in the distance is not clear and things move slightly. You can also see the same effect if you drop a rock into water. The rock appears a little unclear under the moving water.
This twinkling effect causes a lot of problems for astronomers (天文学家), because they cannot observe the stars clearly. So, a telescope was needed in space so that the air movements in the atmosphere could be avoided. It took a long time to build the space telescope but finally in 1990, a huge space telescope called the Hubble Space Telescope was successfully sent into space. Since then, astronomers have made many important observations that have helped people understand space better.
11．The underline word “deceiving” in Paragraph 1 means ________.
A．欺骗 B．帮助 C．嘲笑 D．闪烁
12．What can we learn from the second paragraph
A．How scintillation does harm to our eyes
B．How scintillation happens in the atmosphere
C．Why light can travel through the atmosphere
D．Why the atmosphere air is moving all the time
13．When a rock is dropped into the moving water, it appears a little unclear. Why
A．Because the water is too light to lift the rock up.
B．Because the light is “bent” when traveling through the water.
C．Because the water becomes dirty when the light travels through it.
D．Because the rock becomes dirty when the light travels through the water.
14．The underlined world “they” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________.
A．stars B．problems C．telescopes D．astronomers
15．The passage is written to ________.
A．explain scintillation
B．explain how a telescope works
C．tell something about Hubble Space Telescope
D．tell us the twinkling effect causes a lot of problems
There are many islands in the sea. In its warm waters there are some little ones. We call them “coral islands(珊瑚岛)”.
A coral island looks like a ring of land(一圈陆地)with trees, grass, and flowers on it. One part of the ring is open to the water. There is a little round lake inside the island.
If you look into this lake, you will see beautiful coral. You may think they are flowers. If you look at a piece of coral, you will see many little holes in it. In each of these holes a very small sea animal has lived. These sea animals make the coral.
They began to build under the water. Year after year, the coral grew higher and higher. At last it grew out of the water.
Then the sea brought it small trees and something else. After some years, these things changed into earth. Sometimes the wind brought seeds (种子) to this earth. Sometimes birds flew over it and brought seeds to the island.
The little seeds grew. In a few years there were plants all over the island. In a few more years there were trees growing there.
So you see, these islands were built little by little. The workers were very small. Do they not teach us a lesson Can you think what the lesson is

三、阅读判断
Greenland is the largest island in the world. It’s in the northeast of North America. Near Greenland is another island. It’s small. Its name is Iceland. Do you think that Greenland is green and warm Do you think that Iceland is white with ice If you do, you’re wrong. That is because most of Greenland is covered with lots of ice. The ice is higher than the world’s tallest building. There are more people in your hometown than in all of Greenland. What about Iceland Iceland has ice, but not so much ice as Greenland.
Iceland has lots of hot springs(温泉). They give out hot water and steam. The climate (气候) is less cold than that in Greenland. And there are a lot more people living in Iceland.
