(A)
My mother was telling me about how she and her family got their first television
when she was a teenager. Of course it was black and white. She said she only watch it at night. She doesn’t remember over watching it in the morning or afternoon. When I was young we had only about 3 or 4 different channels(频道). My bothers, my sisters and I would sometimes fight(打架) about which channel to watch. But we usually enjoyed the same shows. Now we can get hundreds of channels on TV. I can’t believe it! There are channels with old films, cooking, fishing and so on. It’s surprising! There is a channel for everything. I wonder how much my bothers, my sisters and I would fight if we had hundreds of channels when I was a child. Of course we had only one television set. These days I find families with 2 or 3 or more television sets in their homes. I guess it stops people from arguing(吵架) about which channel to choose from . ( ) 46. In those days, how many television sets did people have?
A. more than one B. one C. 3 or 4 D. more than 4
( ) 47. What kind of TV channels do we have now?
A. Channels with cooking B. Channels with old films C. Channels with fish D. A, B&C
( ) 48. Now how many channels can we get on TV?
A. 3 or 4 different channels. B. Only one channel. C. Hundreds of channels. D. Less than 10 channels.
( ) 49. When my mum was a teenager, her brothers, sisters and she usually enjoyed______.
A. different channels B. the same shows C. different shows D. all the shows ( ) 50. Which of the following in NOT true?

The sun is a huge, hot, bright star. It is important because without it there would be no life on Earth. The sun gives us light and heat（热量）.
All living things need light and heat from the sun to live. Plants need light and heat to grow. They use the light from the sun to make food. We cannot make our own food, but plants can. All the food we eat comes from plants in a food chain（链） which starts with the sun. For example,
Animals need sunlight, too. Just like us, their food comes from a food chain which begins with the sun and the plants.
sun→leaf→caterpillar（毛虫）→bird
sun→seaweed（海藻）→small fish→whale（鲸）
Sunlight means we can see during the day. If there was no sun, it would be dark all the time. Even when the sky is cloudy, the sunlight is very strong and it shines through the clouds. ( ) 51. Which word tells us what the sun is like?
A. Huge. B. Hot. C. Bright. D. All above. ( ) 52. Which of the following is RIGHT?
A. sun→ leaf→ eggs→ hens B. sun→ chips→ potatoes
