A
Beginning in the 1770s, many people tried to make cars that would run on steam. Some early steam cars worked well, and some did not. Some were fire pumpers that moved by themselves, and others were small locomotives（机车）with road wheels. Beginning in the 1880s, inventors tried very hard to make cars that would run well enough to use every day. These experimental cars ran on steam, gasoline（汽油），or electricity. By the 1890s, Europeans were buying and driving cars made by Benz, Daimler, Panhard, and others, and Americans were buying and driving cars made by Duryea, Haynes, Winton and others. By 1905 gasoline cars were more popular than steam or electric cars because they were easier to use and could travel farther without adding fuel. By 1910 gasoline cars became larger and more powerful, and some had folding tops to keep drivers and passengers out of the rain.
In 1900 wealthy people bought cars for pleasure, comfort, and status. Many doctors bought small, affordable cars because they were more dependable than horses and easier to keep ready. Rural Americans liked cars because they could cover long distances without depending on trains. They carried produce to market, went to stores and movies in town, and even used their cars to plow fields. Families in towns and cities liked cars because they were handy for errands, going to the train station, visiting relatives, going to church, and going on drives in the country. A family’s house with a car in the driveway has been a common sight since about 1910. Young people liked cars because they could go to movies, restaurants, and other fun places instead of staying at home with their parents.
Cars were fast, comfortable, nice-looking, and fun to drive. They could go almost anywhere, and they were always ready for use. In many ways, driving was easier than walking, biking, or riding in a train, bus, or airplane. But owning a car was a big responsibility（责任）. It took a lot of money to buy one and keep it running, and drivers must be trained, licensed, and always alert to avoid mistakes and accidents. It took a lot of space to park cars, and too many cars caused congestion on roads and in parking lots. Some car owners had returned to walking, biking, or riding train or bus when it was more practical or convenient. For most Americans, cars were a favorite way to travel, but there would always be a need for other types of transportation.

A. Cars were so useful and helpful that they had no disadvantages.
B. Driving cars was the only mean of transportation for Americans in the early days.
C. Owning a car meant fun and ease.
D. Sometimes people would rather choose other types of transports than drive cars.

You are a German living in Berlin. One day you’re walking down the street, minding your own business, when suddenly a stranger comes up with a smile on his face. After stopping you, he holds a small electronic device（装置）close to his face and speaks slowly into it, saying in English，“Can you tell me where I can buy some sauerkraut ”What should you do (a) Run away; (b) call the police; or listen closely for the device to say in German,“Konnen Sie mir bitte sagen, welches sauerkraut haufen kann ”
The most proper answer would be (c) because the person in front of you is only a tourist trying to enjoy himself. The device is said to be the world’s first portable(便携式)translator—a handheld microcomputer（微型电脑）that at the same time translates one spoken language into another. The four-pound, battery operated product is called the Voice, and it is the invention of Advanced Products and Technologies, an American electronics company. When the Voice is introduced in the United States in late April—at a price of $ 1,500—it will be used to translate spoken English into Italian, German, French and Spanish. The product comes with separate cartridges（盒式存储器）for each of the four languages, which can be changed when the user travels from one country to another. It will be sold in Europe soon after the U.S. introduction, with cartridges that translate Italian, German, French and Spanish into English.
The Voice uses a microchip（微型集成电路）to translate languages. It is started by voice command and produces Voice output through a built-in speaker. When the user makes a statement or asks a question, the Voice immediately repeats what has been said in another language.
6. The device held by the stranger is probably a kind of __________
A. a two-way radio B. language translator
C. easily-carried speaker D. a multi-functioned（多功能的）computer
7. What does the last sentence of the first paragraph mean
A. Can you tell me where I can buy some sauerkraut
B. Can I ask for some information from the police
C. Would you like to try my device
D. Would you not run away if I ask you where to buy some sauerkraut
8. When the stranger says“Can you tell…sauerkraut ”he is__________ .
A. learning German from his device
B. asking you the way to the sauerkraut shop
C. making fun of you with his device
D. testing his device for fun
9. Which of the following is not mentioned in the text
A. The price of the hand-held microcomputer.
B. The function of the product Voice.
C. The producer of the small electronic device.
D. The number of the device sold to the European countries.

You can use your Business Tele-card International at any card phone in the United Kingdom.Here is some information about making international phone calls.
You can now phone almost any country in the world,although in some cases you can only call big cities.When you can’t make direct dialing calls,you can ask the international operator to help you.This is more expensive and takes more time,but it may be helpful if you want to speak to a particular person and no one else in this case you should ask for a ”person-to-person”call.Even more expensive is a reverse charge call where the person who receives the call pays.
If the international line is busy,you canreserve(回机)a call,explain the number you want and the operator will call you back when the line is free.
You can save money by calling outside office hours,for example,early in the morning,late at night,and on Sundays.
Remember that the time may be different in the country you are calling.International time is based on GMT(Greenwich Mean Time).London is on GMT and Moscow,for example,is 3 hours ahead.
There is one problem:change to DST(Daylight Saving Time)for the summer.In the UK,clocks are put forward one hour in the spring and put back in the autumn,and so London is one hour ahead of GMT in the summer.
1.What is the most expensive type of call
A.Direct dial. B.Through the operator.
C.Reverse charge call. D.Calling outside office hours.
2.What can you do if the international line is engaged(占线)
A.Ask the operator to call you back later.
B.Make a “person-to-person”call.
C.Call back outside office hours.
D.Wait and call again when the line is free.

A
Beginning in the 1770s, many people tried to make cars that would run on steam. Some early steam cars worked well, and some did not. Some were fire pumpers that moved by themselves, and others were small locomotives（机车）with road wheels. Beginning in the 1880s, inventors tried very hard to make cars that would run well enough to use every day. These experimental cars ran on steam, gasoline（汽油），or electricity. By the 1890s, Europeans were buying and driving cars made by Benz, Daimler, Panhard, and others, and Americans were buying and driving cars made by Duryea, Haynes, Winton and others. By 1905 gasoline cars were more popular than steam or electric cars because they were easier to use and could travel farther without adding fuel. By 1910 gasoline cars became larger and more powerful, and some had folding tops to keep drivers and passengers out of the rain.
In 1900 wealthy people bought cars for pleasure, comfort, and status. Many doctors bought small, affordable cars because they were more dependable than horses and easier to keep ready. Rural Americans liked cars because they could cover long distances without depending on trains. They carried produce to market, went to stores and movies in town, and even used their cars to plow fields. Families in towns and cities liked cars because they were handy for errands, going to the train station, visiting relatives, going to church, and going on drives in the country. A family’s house with a car in the driveway has been a common sight since about 1910. Young people liked cars because they could go to movies, restaurants, and other fun places instead of staying at home with their parents.
Cars were fast, comfortable, nice-looking, and fun to drive. They could go almost anywhere, and they were always ready for use. In many ways, driving was easier than walking, biking, or riding in a train, bus, or airplane. But owning a car was a big responsibility（责任）. It took a lot of money to buy one and keep it running, and drivers must be trained, licensed, and always alert to avoid mistakes and accidents. It took a lot of space to park cars, and too many cars caused congestion on roads and in parking lots. Some car owners had returned to walking, biking, or riding train or bus when it was more practical or convenient. For most Americans, cars were a favorite way to travel, but there would always be a need for other types of transportation.

You are a German living in Berlin. One day you’re walking down the street, minding your own business, when suddenly a stranger comes up with a smile on his face. After stopping you, he holds a small electronic device（装置）close to his face and speaks slowly into it, saying in English，“Can you tell me where I can buy some sauerkraut ”What should you do (a) Run away; (b) call the police; or listen closely for the device to say in German,“Konnen Sie mir bitte sagen, welches sauerkraut haufen kann ”
The most proper answer would be (c) because the person in front of you is only a tourist trying to enjoy himself. The device is said to be the world’s first portable(便携式)translator—a handheld microcomputer（微型电脑）that at the same time translates one spoken language into another. The four-pound, battery operated product is called the Voice, and it is the invention of Advanced Products and Technologies, an American electronics company. When the Voice is introduced in the United States in late April—at a price of $ 1,500—it will be used to translate spoken English into Italian, German, French and Spanish. The product comes with separate cartridges（盒式存储器）for each of the four languages, which can be changed when the user travels from one country to another. It will be sold in Europe soon after the U.S. introduction, with cartridges that translate Italian, German, French and Spanish into English.
The Voice uses a microchip（微型集成电路）to translate languages. It is started by voice command and produces Voice output through a built-in speaker. When the user makes a statement or asks a question, the Voice immediately repeats what has been said in another language.
6. The device held by the stranger is probably a kind of __________
A. a two-way radio B. language translator
C. easily-carried speaker D. a multi-functioned（多功能的）computer
7. What does the last sentence of the first paragraph mean
A. Can you tell me where I can buy some sauerkraut
B. Can I ask for some information from the police
C. Would you like to try my device
D. Would you not run away if I ask you where to buy some sauerkraut
8. When the stranger says“Can you tell…sauerkraut ”he is__________ .
A. learning German from his device
B. asking you the way to the sauerkraut shop
C. making fun of you with his device
D. testing his device for fun
9. Which of the following is not mentioned in the text
A. The price of the hand-held microcomputer.
B. The function of the product Voice.
C. The producer of the small electronic device.
D. The number of the device sold to the European countries.

You can use your Business Tele-card International at any card phone in the United Kingdom.Here is some information about making international phone calls.
You can now phone almost any country in the world,although in some cases you can only call big cities.When you can’t make direct dialing calls,you can ask the international operator to help you.This is more expensive and takes more time,but it may be helpful if you want to speak to a particular person and no one else in this case you should ask for a ”person-to-person”call.Even more expensive is a reverse charge call where the person who receives the call pays.
If the international line is busy,you canreserve(回机)a call,explain the number you want and the operator will call you back when the line is free.
You can save money by calling outside office hours,for example,early in the morning,late at night,and on Sundays.
Remember that the time may be different in the country you are calling.International time is based on GMT(Greenwich Mean Time).London is on GMT and Moscow,for example,is 3 hours ahead.
There is one problem:change to DST(Daylight Saving Time)for the summer.In the UK,clocks are put forward one hour in the spring and put back in the autumn,and so London is one hour ahead of GMT in the summer.
1.What is the most expensive type of call
A.Direct dial. B.Through the operator.
C.Reverse charge call. D.Calling outside office hours.
2.What can you do if the international line is engaged(占线)
A.Ask the operator to call you back later.
B.Make a “person-to-person”call.
C.Call back outside office hours.
D.Wait and call again when the line is free.
3.When is it cheaper to make an international call
A.10 a.m. B.5 a.m. C.11 a.m. D.8 a.m.
4.How many hours is Moscow ahead of London during the summer
