Each year, there is a growing number of cars on roads and streets as millions of new cars are produced (生产). One out of every six Americans works at putting together the parts of cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling cars with gas. Americans won't live without cars.
Most Americans find it hard to think what life would be without a car. However, some have realized the serious problem of air pollution by cars. The polluted air is poisonous (有毒的) and dangerous to health.
One way to get rid of (去除) the polluted air is to build a new kind of car. That's what several of the large car factories are trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.
Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else. Engineers are now working on some new cars. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a useful model that pleases man.
To prevent the world from being polluted by cars, we'll have to make some changes in the way many of us live. Riding a bike is thought to help keep the air clean.
(1) ( )There is a growing number of cars every year because more and more people use cars.
(2) ( )It is easy for some large car factories in the USA to build a new kind of cars.
(3) ( )Most Americans don't know what to do without a car.
(4) ( )The best way to get rid of pollution is to change the car engine by something else.
(5) ( )Riding a bike can help keep the air clean.

Not many years ago, some farmers killed a lot of hawks because hawks took many of their chickens. But soon, they had a new worry as they changed the balance (平衡) of nature. Field mice were eating up a lot of their grain.
When people move into a new place, they often destroy (破坏) many wild plants. Often these plants are food for the animals. If the animals cannot find enough plants to eat, they will starve or have to leave the place.
In one part of the United States, for example, the deer there like to eat a certain kind of wild roses. The mountain lions there eat the deer. The number of deer, mountain lions, and wild roses does not change much if people leave things as they are. But people killed many mountain lions in order to protect the deer. Soon there were so many deer that they ate up all the wild roses. Then the deer began to eat green leaves of young trees. These trees were important to the farmers. So the farmers thought of ways to protect their trees. Now the deer had nothing to eat, and many of them died. This was another lesson from nature.

Lots of people like diving into water, because they can explore the underwater world. But there is another kind of diving. Some people dive into the sky! This is really a very exciting sport. A skydiver goes high up in the air on a plane. Then he jumps off the plane and floats in the air with the help of a parachute (降落伞). A parachute is like a huge umbrella. It is put on the back of the skydiver. When the skydiver reaches a certain height, he will pull a string and the parachute will open up in seconds and carry him gently down to the ground. Skydivers like doing a lot of fascinating tricks in the air. After jumping off the plane one after another, they will try to stay in the air and hold each other's hands. They can form different shapes.
Is it safe to do skydiving Yes, as long as we receive right training. But sometimes, accidents do happen. In Canada, two skydivers were killed in 1991 when they jumped off the plane.

（2020·上海·单元测试） The crowd cheered and cheered. The man with the horn waved and smiled his great smile. "More! More!" cried the crowd. And Louis Armstrong took his horn and began to play again.
Here he was in England. Now he was a rich famous man. He knew many important people. Wherever he went, people knew his name. They wanted to hear his music. As he played the sad, slow songs, Louis thought of his home in New Orleans. He lived there as a boy. It was a busy, exciting city. But Louis's family was very poor. He went to work to help his mother. He also went to school. One of Louis's teachers asked him to join the school band. "This horn is yours until you leave our school," his teacher said. Louis's music was jazz and he loved it. He remembered all the music he heard. He didn't learn to read music until he was a man. When he left school, he played on many bands.
He loved his work and people loved him. They knew that he had a wonderful talent. Louis played in little towns and in big cities. Armstrong's horn had as many sounds as ten horns—sometimes slow and sometimes sweet; sometimes fast and hot, high and low. His music was always strong and exciting. "He does make wonderful music," said the man who listened happily. "Yes," said another man, "he makes that horn speak."

（2020·上海·单元测试） Can animals be made to work for us Some scientists think that one day animals may be trained to do some simple jobs that are now done by human beings. Scientists point out that in the circus, for example, we may see elephants, monkeys, dogs and other animals do quite skillful things. Perhaps you have seen them on TV or in a film. If you watch them closely, you may notice that the trainer always gives the animals some sugar or a piece of fruit as a reward. The scientists say that many different animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs if they know they will get a reward after doing them.
Of course, as we know, dogs can be used to guard a house, and soldiers in both old and modern times have used geese to give warning by making a lot of noise when an enemy comes near. It may be possible to train animals to work in factories. In Russia, for example, pigeons, which are birds with good eye sight, are being used to watch out for faults (瑕疵) in small steel balls that are being made in one factory. When the pigeon sees a ball which is different from the others, it touches a steel plate with its beak. This turns on a light to warn the people in the factory. At the same time a few seeds are given to the pigeon as a reward. It takes three to five weeks to train the pigeon to do this and one pigeon can inspect 3, 000 to 4, 000 balls an hour.

(2) What animals can we see do things in the circus
