Emma and Emily are twins. They look so similar that even their parents have 1. ddifficulty telling the differences between them just by appearance. But actually the girls are different in most ways. For example, Emma likes spicy food, while Emily 2. pprefers sweet food. Emma loves the colour indigo, while Emily loves the colour violet. Emma likes studying at night, while Emily would rather do it in the 3. mmorning.
So the twins often argue(争论)about lots of things. Here is a real case. When Emma said waking up early in the morning was terrible, Emily argued, “The air in the morning can always 4. ccheer me up. On the contrary(正相反), I think it's difficult to stay up late when you feel so sleepy!” In the end, their parents made a 5. ddecision to put an end to their argument and taught them that they could 6. bboth be correct. But the girls remained sceptical(怀疑的).
That day, their father 7. aasked Emma to stand on one side of a board and Emily on the other side. They couldn't see each other's side. Their father asked, “What colour is the board, girls?” Emma said it was black, while Emily said it was white. They started arguing again. The father asked them to 8. cchange places. They were both quite surprised to 9. ffind that the board on Emma's side was painted black and on Emily's side was painted white. They were both correct.
Many of us are just like Emma and Emily. We may insist(坚持)that we are right most of the time, only to find out that 10. oothers can be right as well.

答案： 1.difficulty 2.prefers 3.morning 4.cheer 5.decision 6.both 7.asked 8.change 9.find 10.others

答案： 1.D ［解析］细节理解题。根据第一段中“Why does the colour of the sky change at different times of the day? The answer has to do with how the sun's light and the earth's atmosphere(大气层) have an effect on each other.”可知，天空的颜色改变与太阳光和地球大气的相互影响有关。故选D。2.A ［解析］细节理解题。根据第二段中“Red wavelengths are the longest”可知，红色的波长是最长的。故选A。3.B ［解析］细节理解题。根据第四段中“Blue wavelengths，because of their smaller size，are scattered(散射) more easily and in many directions.”可知，蓝色的波长由于尺寸较小，更容易向多个方向散射，因此天空呈现蓝色。故选B。4.C ［解析］词义猜测题。根据第五段中“The result is that red sky we see at sunset，since longer red wavelengths are still able to pass through the atmosphere.”可知，我们在日落时看到的是红色的天空。故选C。5.C ［解析］推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要解释了天空的颜色在一天中的不同时间会发生变化的原因，与物理有关。故选C。
