Stepping into a pool of water is common enough. but who could ever imagine stepping into a pool of fish? In February of 1974, Bill Tapp. an Australian farmer，saw a rain of fish that covered his farm. How surprised he must have been when he heard many fish hitting against his roof!
What caused this strange occurrence? This is a question that had long puzzled people who study fish. The answer turned out to be a combination of wind and storm.
When it is spring in the northern part of the world，it is fall in Australia. Throughout the autumn season，terrible storms arise and rains flood the land. The
strong winds sweep over Australia like huge vacuum cleaners，
collecting seaweed，pieces of wood，and even，schools of fish.
Strong winds may carry these bits of nature for many miles before
vacuum dropping them on fields，houses，and astonished people.
Although they seem unusual，fish-falls occur quite frequently in Australia. When Bill Tapp was asked to describe the scene of fish，he remarked，“They look like millions of dead birds falling down. ’’ His statement is not surprising. The wonders of the natural world are as common as rain. Nature，with its infinite wonders，can create waterfalls that flow upward and fish that fall out of the sky.

Many people have described television as a passive activity that is harmful to children’s education. However，there are good and bad ways to watch television. Parents who are interested in exploiting television as a learning tool can actually turn time in front of TV into an educational chance.
Probably the most familiar educational way to use television is to simply watch educational programs. In particular，this means selecting channels and programs specially designed for educational purposes. Along with traditional educational shows for children on public broadcasting channels，cable television(有线电视) now offers kids and adults a wide variety of educational programs，with everything from nature shows to historical events in different countries.
Captioning(字幕)，such as “closed captioning” for hearing disabled Viewers provides another way for parents to exploit the educational possibilities of television. One study showed that children who watched captioned TV got great improvement in their vocabulary and oral reading ability. In addition，parents can make any show a learning class by watching television together with children. By actively joining children in the program that they are watching，parents can help with the development of such skills as predicting(预见) and summarizing. In order to develop predicting skills，parents and children could first refer to a program’s description in a viewing guide. After reading the program description and guessing what might happen in the program，parents and children could watch together to see which predictions were correct. And to practice summarizing，after watching a program，parents can turn off the TV and ask what the story was about. This kind of activity helps children develop thinking skills such as arranging events in an order and memorizing information.
A1though there will still be plenty of times when children watch TV simply for passive enjoyment，parents can help make at least part of their children's viewing time a more productive activity. Used intelligently by exploiting the learning chances available through various programs，television can play an instructive role in children’s education.
49. Which activity is NOT suggested in the passage?
A. Talking about TV shows. B. Watching captions on TV.
C. Enjoying films about nature. D. Watching shows for homework.
50. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Parents can simply make any show a 1earning class for their children.
B. To make watching TV a more productive activity parents should include themselves in the producing process.
C. Most parents have changed their attitude to their kids’watching TV and become positive to the problem.
D. In a way，it is how parents act that leads to whether watching TV may do good or not to their children.
51. We can infer from the last paragraph that .
A. not every minute when a child watches television must be educational
B. children should not use television for passive enjoyment
C. some children prefer reading to watching television
D. television offers more learning chances than school
52. Which of the following questions is the major one discussed in the passage?
A. What makes television more interesting than books?
B. Why should schools put television into classrooms?
C. How can parents use television as a teaching tool?
D. Which program can actually make kids smarter?
D
The single，decisive factor that made it possible for mankind to settle in lasting communities(社区，聚居地) was agriculture. After farming was developed in the Middle East in about 6500 BC，people 1iving in family units did not have. to be on the move continually searching for food or hunting their animals. Once people could control the production of food and be assured of a reliable supply of it，their lives changed completely.
Farming was a revolutionary discovery. It not only made settlements possible and later the building of cities but it also made available a reliable food supply. With more food available，more people could be fed. Population therefore increased. The growing number of people available for more kinds of work led to the development of new social formations. With more and more food，a community could support a variety of workers who were not farmers.
Farming in the world over has always relied upon a dependable water supply. For the earliest societies this meant rivers and streams or regular rainfall. The first great civilizations grew up along rivers. Later communities were able to develop by taking advantage of the rainy seasons.
All of the ancient civilizations probably developed in much the same way，in spite of a few differences. As villages grew，the production of more numerous goods became possible. cloth could be woven from wool. Houses made of wood，brick，and stone could be put up.
The science of mathematics was an early outgrowth of agriculture. People studied the. movements of the moon. the sun，and the planets to work out seasons. By doing so they created the first calendars(日历). With a calendar it was possible to find out the arrival of each growing season. Measurement of land areas was necessary if field was to be divided accurately. Measurements of amounts，for example，of seeds or grains was also a factor in farming and housekeeping. Later measures of value as money exchange became common.
All of the major ancient civilizations in Mesopotamia，Egypt，the Indus Valley，and China appeared in the 4th millennium BC. Historians still argue over which one came into being first. It may well have been the Middle East. This place reaches out from the Nile River in Egypt northward along the coast of former Palestine，then eastward into Asia to include Mesopotamia，In this area people settled along the riverbanks and practiced field agriculture. This kind of farming depended on the reproduction of seed，normally from grain crops.
53. The final result of the development of agriculture was that .
A. the population increased slowly
B. a variety of jobs were open to people
C. a constant supply of food was certain
D. a new social formation came into being
54. Which of the following is true according to the writer?
A. Societies in the past in different parts of the world grew in similar ways.
B. Cloth-making marked an important period in agricultural development.
C. Modern cities developed out of originally wealthier villages.
D. Mathematics helped create the agricultural society.
55. The development of mathematics .
A. got the society out of the agricultural age
B. made possible the exchange of agricultural goods
C. enabled people to arrange their agricultural activities better
D. helped create early agricultural civilization around the world
56. It can be safely concluded that .
A. the earlier civilization first came into being in the Middle East
B. the development of maths played a decisive role in the birth of modern cities
C. all ancient civilizations around the world developed in exactly the same way
D. the development of agriculture played a very important role in human history
57. The passage is mainly about .
A. the relationship between agriculture and society
B. the importance of agriculture
C. the origin of agriculture
D. the ancient civilization
