Niagara Falls, in New York State, is a popular tourist place. Every minute 500,000 tons of water flow (流动) over a cliff (悬崖) into the river below. This is very beautiful.
The Falls were discovered in 1768. Before that they had never stopped flowing. However, this happened on March 29,1848. People could not believe it! They were so surprised that they all ran to the Falls. To their surprise, there was only the great cliff with no water going over it. Some people began to pray. Some people walked on the dry river bottom below.
Luckily, it took almost 30 hours for the water to start flowing again. Why did the water stop? High winds and heavy icebergs blocked off (阻挡) the water that comes from Lake Erie. When the wind changed and the water from Lake Erie flowed again, people could see the beautiful Falls once more.
Questions 56-60: 根据短文内容，完成下面的表格，每空一词。(Complete the form according to the passage. Use only one word for each blank.)
B
It's 7 a.m. It's time to go to school. What? You don't want to go? Well maybe you don't have to. Many kids don't go to school. They stay at home. Someone teaches them at home. Usually, their parents teach them, but sometimes a special teacher teaches them. This is home schooling (在家教育).
There are many reasons for home schooling. (61)Some children are very sick and cannot go to school. Some students live very far in the country. There aren't any schools near their homes. Sometimes, parents just don't like the schools near their homes.
(62)Home schooling sounds easy, but it's really not. Home-school students have to do the same work as regular (正规的) students. They study the same subjects and have homework. Also, home-school students don't meet other students in school. Sometimes, finding friends can be hard for them. Not going to school can be harder than you thought.
Questions 61-62: 将文中划线的句子翻译成汉语。(Translate the underlined sentences into Chinese.)
Questions 63-65: 根据短文内容回答下列各题。(Answer the following questions according to the passage.)
63. Who teaches home-school students?
64. Do home-school students have the same subjects as school students or different?
65. Why is it hard for home-school students to find friends?
C
When Harley-Davidson won their first motorcycle race in 1905, their fastest speed (速度) was around 45 miles an hour. Motorcycle racing is different today. Today, the fastest motorcycle can go 180 miles per hour. This is as fast as most race cars! Motorcycle racing is popular, and it is getting more popular every year.
There are many kinds of motorcycle racing, but street racing is the most popular. In street racing, motorcycle riders race on a special track. They go very fast. There are three kinds of street racing: Super Sport, Sport Bike, and Grand Prix. Each kind of racing uses a different motorcycle. The biggest difference in the motorcycles is engine size.
Because motorcycles go fast, motorcycle racing can be dangerous. Motorcycle racers must wear special clothes. Their pants and shirts are very thick and strong. When racers fall off their bikes, the special pants and shirts keep them safe. Of course, racers also wear helmets. Even with special clothes and helmets, motorcycle racing is dangerous. A motorcycle racer must be very brave.
Questions 66-70: 阅读短文，根据其内容回答下列问题。(Answer the following questions according to the passage.)
66. Do the fastest motorcycles today go slower than most race cars?
67． What does the word “it” in paragraph 1 stand for (指代)?
