The first would enter the shop and make an offer, lower than the marked price. Not getting the vase at his price, he would walk out.

Water goes around and around Earth in a never ending journey called the water cycle〔循环〕. The sun heats up lakes, oceans, and other wet places on Earth. When the water gets warm enough, it changes into vapour. Plants also give off lots of water vapour. Some of this water vapour cools off high in the sky and becomes clouds. Then it falls back to Earth in a new place as rain or snow. This cycle happens over and over again.
The ground can absorb water like a sponge (海绵). If you could see this groundwater, it wouldn’t look like a lake or river. The groundwater is mixed in with the rocks and sand that lie in layers (层) below Earth’s surface.
Groundwater moves along slowly. How slowly? Maybe 1.5 kilometres in one century. Some of this water has been underground for thousands of years. And once groundwater is pumped out of the ground from a deep well〔井〕by people, it may take hundreds of years for another water to take its place.
40. In which order does water go around Earth?
a .Fall down as rain or snow. b. Heated up by the sun on lakes, oceans and other
wet places.
c. Cool off high in the sky.
d. Form clouds.
e. Change into vapour.
A. dacbe
B. becda
C. caebd
D. bceda
41. The groundwater seems to________.
A. be just on the ground
B. be pure water like that in a lake or river
C. exist in rocks and sand
D. flow along like rivers or streams
42. The underlined word “p umped〞 in the passage can be replaced by________.
A. drawn
B. pushed
C. run
D. picked
43. What conclusion〔结论〕can we draw from the passage?
A. Groundwater can be quickly replaced by other water once pumped out.
B. Groundwater travel in an unknown way.
C. Groundwater has nothing to do with human beings.
D. Groundwater is very valuable.

More and more often we heard of people talking about Karaoke〔卡拉OK〕. But what on earth it is about， still remains a question for many people. Karaoke is a sort of acoustic equipment which was invented in Japan around the middle of the 1970's. It means "a band without people" in Japanese. In fact， it is just a music tape without words. This equipment first appeared in some public houses and snack bars， and mainly for the customers to enjoy themselves. Most of the music in Karaoke was popular music.
Therefore，at times，when anyone felt like it，he might sing songs to the accompaniment of the music that came from the equipment. Shortly after its invention，Karaoke was spread to the whole world. It was introduced to China and was welcomed by many people. Although you are not a good singer， or even sometimes you may sing out of tune， you can always enjoy yourself by singing Karaoke.
