阅读理解

    Many people enjoy watching movies in a cinema. They think the cinema has a better atmosphere(气氛) to enjoy the movie. However, I think people are happier and freer when watching movies at home.

    Watching movies at home is more comfortable. To watch movies in a cinema, you have to buy a ticket before you go there for a better seat. However, there is no need for people at home to worry about the ticket. They can enjoy movies at any time they like and with the most comfortable seat. What's more, people watching movies at home wouldn't have to face any traffic problems.

    It is free to watch movies at home. In the cinema, we can't go outside and do something else because the movie won't wait for us. Sometimes, if we miss part of the movie, we can't follow the story. At home, we can pause at any time and go back to watch the part.

    All in all, a cinema is a good place to watch movies, but it isn't the best place to enjoy the movies. I think watching movies at home is the better.

(1)、What does the writer think of watching movies at home?
A、Boring. B、Enjoyable. C、Interesting. D、Difficult.
(2)、What isn't the reason(理由) for the writer's watching movies at home?
A、Save more time on the road. B、Don't worry about the ticket. C、Feel freer and happier. D、Haves better atmosphere.
(3)、Which has the same meaning with the underlined word "miss"?
A、That's all, thank you, Miss Thompson. B、He missed his watch and looked for it everywhere. C、The hotel is just on the road, so you can't miss it. D、When I was in America, I missed my parents very much.
(4)、What is the best title for the passage?
A、Enjoy Watching Movies in a Cinema. B、Better to Watch a Movie in a Cinema or at Home? C、Come to My Home and Watch a Movie. D、It's Better to Watch a Movie than a TV Show.
举一反三

Personally, there is nothing I love more than asking "stupid" questions, especially the ones that have no right answers. I remember once asking some kids what time it was, at home, in Singapore, and finally on the Moon. After a long silence, finally a shy girl ventured (试探地说) to say that it was "every time" followed by an energetic Einstein who shouted it was "no time". Both kids shared that week's Noble Prize because no humans live in that faraway world and time is created by humans.

As a matter of fact, we are all good at asking questions by nature, but sadly as we age, we get used to the world around us and take things for granted. We became more results-oriented (注重结果的) and concentrate our efforts on success. If something is working, don't fix it or worry about the cause; just relax and go with the flow. Common belief may work well, but that does not mean it is always right. Throughout history, it has been those who have questioned common belief and those who have challenged our common-sense ideas of the world that have been the ones to have brought about major progress in human civilization.

In 500 BC, the ancient Greeks wondered whether the Earth was round because sailors on the sea had noticed that the farther south they went, the more different stars they saw in the sky. Why was the sky changing? Nearly 2,000 years later, the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei became interested in this question and ended up demonstrating the "crazy" concept of heliocentrism (日心说), in which the Sun lies at the center of the universe while the Earth circles around it at 30 kilometers per second. But if the Earth is spinning around so quickly, why aren't we being thrown off of the surface of the planet? The answer to this question would not be clear for another century.

People like routine, but past performance is no guarantee of future results. While those who challenge common belief tend to be subjected to abuse, the progress of humankind would have otherwise been impossible without these persistent people and their "stupid" questions.

 下面文章中有四处需要添加句子。请从以下选项中选出符合意思的句子。选项中有一项是多余选项。并回答35题(不多于15词)。

Have you ever wanted to grow some vegetables on your balcony(阳台)? Spinach(菠菜) is a great choice. It grows easily all the year, and it has many health benefits. 

{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

Spinach can survive temperatures as low as 7℃, but that's not good for its growth. Spinach seeds sprout(发芽)best in soil between 7℃ and 24℃. Once the seeds have sprouted, the vegetable grows best in daytime between 15℃ and 27℃. 

{#blank#}2{#/blank#}

·Pot size: A pot of 15 to 20 cm deep would be the best. Depending on your space, it can be as wide as you want. 

·Make sure your pot has a hole at the bottom. 

·Soil: For growing spinach in pots, use a mix rich in organic matter(有机物). 

·Spacing: Give each spinach plant seven cm of space. If you want to harvest(收获) large leaves, give each plant a little more space. 

·Position: If you are growing spinach in the fall and winter, keep the plants in a sunny place. 

For spring and summer planting, place your plants in a cool place, especially in the afternoon. 

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

·Watering: Keep the soil a bit wet, but not too much. Avoid watering the leaves. 

·Fertilizing(施肥): To grow healthy spinach, you need to provide nitrogen(氮素). 

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}

Spinach grows quickly. You can harvest when the plant has formed at least five healthy leaves, usually within one month after it sprouts. 

A. When can you harvest?

B. Growing Spinach at Home

C. Who can cook spinach best? 

D. Where should you grow spinach?

E. When should you plant spinach? 

F. How should you take care of your spinach?

Is it a good idea to grow vegetables at home? Why or why not?(请用不超过15词回答){#blank#}5{#/blank#}
