When the weather is hot， you go to a lake or an ocean. When you are near a lake or an ocean， you feel cool. Why? The sun makes the earth hot， but it can not make the water hot. Though the air over the earth becomes hot， the air over the water stays cool. The hot air over the earth goes up， then the cool air over the water moves in and takes the place of the hot air. When you are near a lake or an ocean， you feel the cool air when it moves in. You feel the wind and the wind makes you cool.

Of course， scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask “Why is the ocean full of salt？” scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cool， it cracks (崩裂) ， and rain falls into the cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask “What happens to the salt in the ocean？ The ocean does not get saltier every year. “ scientists are not sure about the answer to the question.

We know a lot about our world. But there are still many answers that we do not have， and we are curious(好奇的).

1.In the first paragraph， the underlined word “it” refers to　　　 .

A. The hot air over the water

B. The cool air over the earth

C. The hot air over the earth

D. The cool air over the water

A. What makes people feel cool near a lake or an ocean in summer.

B. Everything about the ocean.

C. What happens to the salt in the ocean.

D. Why the ocean does not get more saltier.

3.A rock crack when　　　　　　 .　　 .

A. rain falls　　　　　　 B. it gets very hot

C. it gets very cold　　 D. Both B and C

B. The reason why the ocean doesn’t get saltier every year.

任务型阅读

Once upon a time， there was an old woman who lived in a small house. She planted a lot of beautiful tulips (郁金香) in her garden.

One night， the sounds of sweet singing and of babies laughing woke her up. She looked out of the window. The sounds seemed to come from the tulips， but she could see nothing.

The next morning she walked among her flowers， but there were no signs of anyone having been there the night before.

On the following night she was again wakened (弄醒) by the sounds of sweet singing and babies laughing. She got out of bed and walked softly into her garden. The old woman looked closely and she noticed that a fairy (精灵) mother was singing softly， and that in each tulip-cup was a little fairy baby， laughing and playing.

The old woman went back to her house quietly. From then on， she never picked a tulip. She didn’t allow her neighbours to pick the flowers， either. When the old woman died， all the tulips disappeared overnight. But her grave (坟墓) looked beautiful， because the fairies sang above it and kept it green.
