2.Passage
Ken: The most interesting museum I've ever been to is the American Computer Museum. They have information about different computers and who invented them. The old computers were much bigger. It’s unbelievable that technology has progressed in such a rapid way!I’ve also learned that there was a special computer. It couldplay chess even better than humans. I wonder how much more computers will be able to do in the future.
Amy: I’ve recently been to a very unusual museum in India, the International Museum of Toilets.I just couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw so many different kinds of toilets there. The museum teaches people about the history and development of toilets. It also encourages governments and social groups to think about ways to improve toilets in the future.
Linlin: Last year I went to the Hangzhou National Tea Museum. It’s a relaxing and peaceful place near a lake.The tea art performances show how to make a perfect cup of tea with beautiful tea sets.Watching the tea preparation is just as enjoyable as drinking the tea itself.I've finally realized why my grandpa loves drinking
tea and collecting tea sets.
Singapore — A Place You Will Never Forget!
Have you ever been to Singapore For thousands of tourists from China, this small island in Southeast Asia is a wonderful and safe place to take a holiday.
On the one hand, more than three quarters of the population are Chinese, so you can simply speak Putonghua a lot of the time.
On the other hand, Singapore is an English- speaking country, so it’s also a good place to practice your English!
Have you ever tried Chinese food outside of China Maybe you fear that you won't be able to find anything good to eat when you travel.
In Singapore, however, you'll find a lot of food from China; you won’t have any problem getting rice, noodles or dumplings. Singapore is also an excellent place to try new food. Whether you like Indian food, Western food or Japanese food, you'll find it all in Singapore!
Most large cities have zoos, but have you ever been to a zoo at night Singapore has a Night Safari. It might seem strange to go to a zoo when it’s dark.However, if you go to see lions, tigers or foxes during the daytime, they’ll probably be asleep! A lot of animals only wake up at night, so this is the best time to watch them. At the Night Safari, you can watch these animals in a more natural environment than in a normal zoo.
One great thing about Singapore is that the temperature is almost the same all year round. This is because the island is so close to the equator. So you can choose to go whenever you like—spring, summer, autumn or winter.And, of course, it’s not too far from China!

12 The Sun is about 1,300,000 times larger than the Earth.太阳大约是地球的1,300,000倍。
1）句中的“Sun”与“Earth”首字母要大写，指的是在谈论天文学中的星球。而我们平时提及“太阳”“地球”时，则不用大写。另外“sun”和“earth”前均有定冠词“the”，是因为“太阳”“地球”是世界上独一无二的事物。
The earth goes around the sun. 地球围着太阳转。

15 I wonder how much more computers will be able to do in the future.我很想知道未来的电脑还能够做些什么事情。
1）此句从句部分的原始结构是: How much more will computers be able to do in the future 是对陈述句Computers will be able to do much more in the future.（电脑将来能够做更多的事情。）的提问。由于充当了wonder的宾语，变为了宾语从句，因此原始结构改成了陈述句的结构: how much more computers will be able to do in the future。

拓展：英语中分数词的表达法
①总规则：分子在前，用基数词表示；分母在后，用序数词表示；当分子大于1时，分母用复数。
②特殊规则：有几种特殊的分数除了可以用上述表达法书写外还可以写作其他形式。
Ⅰ.当分子为1时，one可以写为a。
one third = a third 三分之一 one fifth = a fifth 五分之一
Ⅱ.当分母为2时，second可以写为half。
one second = a second = one half = a half 二分之一
Ⅲ.当分母为4时，fourth可写为quarter，fourths可写为quarters.
one fourth = one quarter = a fourth = a quarter 四分之一
three fourths = three quarters 四分之三
Ⅳ.当分数词作主语时，谓语动词根据分数词后面的名词来确定.
One fifth of the water is dirty. 五分之一的水是脏的。
Three fifths of the students in our class are girls. 我们班五分之三的学生是女生。
