A
A Swiss inventor dr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ove his solar-powered car (太阳能汽车) to a school in Shanghai. There is not enough oil in the world now. As time goes by, it becomes less and less, so what are we going to do when it runs out Perhaps we will go back to using horses, carriages and bicycles.
In the Second Wor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ld War, some people didn’t use gas made from petroleum(石油) in their cars. They made gas from wood and plants instead. The car didn’t go fast, but they ran, so this was better than nothing. However, in the future, we can’t cut down all our trees to make gas. We need our trees for other things, too.
Besides different ty ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pes of gas, we can also use electricity to run our cars, but first we must make the electricity! Some countries have coal and they make electricity with that, but we might not always have coal, either. Other countries have big, strong rivers, and they can use the power of water to turn turbines (涡轮机) and make electricity more easily and cheaply.
We are also able t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o get power from the ocean tides. We put turbines into the mouth of the river. Then the tide comes in, the water turns the turbines and then it goes out, it turns them again.
Which of these ways will be used to run our cars in the future
1. When might people have to go back to using horses and carriages
A. When they are poor.
B. When they run out of oil.
C. When they need more exercise.
D. When there aren’t any big trees in the world.
2. What did some people use to make gas in the Second World War
A. Water. B. Coal. C. Wood and plants. D. Tides.
3. How many ways are suggested to make electricity in the passage
A. 2. B. 5. C. 4. D. 3.
4. According to the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) passage, which of the following statements is TRUE
A. There is more petroleum than we can use now.
B. Trees are needed for some other things besides making gas.
C. We got electricity from ocean tides in the old days.
D. Gas wasn’t used to run cars in the Second World War.
5. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. how to run our cars
B. what to do when oil runs out
C. different types of gas
D. the ways to make electricity
B
Hundreds of yea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs ago, news was carried from place to place by people on foot or by horse. It took
days, weeks and som ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )etimes months for people to receive news. Now it is possible to send words and
pictures around the w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orld in seconds. Billions of people learn about news stories of their own country and all over the world every day, either by watching TV or reading newspapers. Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since the 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors decide which news stories to print Why do they print some stories and not others What makes a good newspaper story
Firstly, it is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) important to report new stories. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give more about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print completely different stories to those on TV.
Secondly, a news st ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ory has to be interesting and unusual. People don’t want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be “bad” news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely, instead they print
stories about plane accidents.
Another factor (因素) ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is also very important in many news stories. Many people are interested in foreign countries, but more prefer to read stories about people, places and events (事件) in their own country. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British, French and American newspapers.
6. According to the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )passage, how do people learn about news stories in the world now
A. They carry news sto ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ries and tell others from place to place oh foot or by horse.
B. They tell each other what they have seen with their eyes.
C. They watch TV or read newspapers.
D. They listen to the radio every day.
7. The difference ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )between newspaper stories and TV news reports is that ______.
A. people can learn more about the same news story from a newspaper
B. people can read the news story more quickly in a newspaper
C. people can read news stories in other countries
D. people can read news stories about their own country
8. To make a good n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ewspaper story, how many factors does the passage talk about
A. Two. B. Three. C. Five. D. Six.
9. According to the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )passage, which of the following can you most possibly watch on TV
A. You often play football with your friends after school.
B. Your teacher has got a cold.
C. A tiger in the city zoo has run out and hasn"t been caught.
D. The bike in the front of your house is lost.
10. Which of the following is NOT true in this passage
A. News stories o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n the front page of every country are always the same.
B. People like to read interesting and unusual news.
C. Not only TV but ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) also newspapers can help people to learn what is happening around the world.
D. Newspapers have ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )been an important part of everyday life for more than three hundred years.
Ⅷ.语法填空（10分）

My hometown
My hometown is a beautiful place now.
In the past, ther ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e weren’t so many buildings along the street. The roads weren’t so wide as those today. People lived in the tiny houses at that time and only worked on the farm. But now we all live in much bigger houses and people’s life is much better and wealthier. And there are much wider and cleaner roads than before. People only work on the farm for a few days a year now. Most of them can go to the big cities to make more money for their families. Some of them have already bought houses in the big cities. There are more big schools and hospitals in my hometown. People are living a better life now.
I love my hometown.
