kBA kind of little cars may be seen in the streets in the future.
People will like this kind of small cars better than the big one
s. The car is as small as a bike. But it can carry two people in
it. Everybody can drive it easily, just like riding a bike. Even
children and old people can drive them to schools or parks.If eve
ryone drives such cars in the future, there will be less pollutio
n in the air. There will be more space for all the cars in cities
, and there will also be more space for people to walk in the str
eets.The little cars of the future will cost less money to buy an
d to drive. These little cars can go only 65 kilometers an hour,
so driving will be safer. The cars of the future will be fine for
going around the city, but they will not be useful for a long tr
ip.This kind of cars can save a lot of gas. They will go 450 kilo
meters, then they have to stop for more gas.They are nice cars, a
ren’t they？1.If you drive this kind of little cars for four hours
, you can probably go ______ at most.A. 260 kilometersB. 65 kilom
etersC. 450 kilometersD. 130 kilometers2.Why do these little cars
have to stop after going 450 kilometers？A. For more water.B. For
more gas.C. To have a rest.D. To charge (充电)3.Which of the follo
wing statements is NOT true？A. Driving big cars can make the air
dirtier.B. The little cars can make more space for other cars and
people.C. These little cars will be useful for a long trip.D. Th
is kind of cars can save much gas.CThe giant panda is one of the
most popular animals in the world. Although giant pandas can grow
up to 1.5 meters long and weigh up to 160 kilograms, people don’
t think of them as big and heavy. They think of them as furry and
cute. So it is not surprising that the World Wide Fund for Natur
e (WWF) chose the giant panda as its symbol. The WWF tells people
about animals that they are in danger and raises money to save t
hem.The giant panda only lives in the wild in China. It faces man
y threats and is endangered. In the early 1980s, there were only
1,000 left in the wild. A more recent count showed that there are
about 1,600. This is still a small number. The main reason why p
andas are endangered is that the area where pandas can live has b
ecome smaller. What are people doing to save the giant pandas? WW
F works to help giant pandas in the wild in many ways. One of the
ways it helps them is to increase the size of panda reserves. Re
serves are places in the wild where pandas can live safely. Some
reserves need to be joined together again by planting bamboo betw
een them to make “corridors”. These are paths that lead from one
reserve to another.Like the reserves, theses corridors are also p
rotected areas. No one may harm the pandas in these areas. No fac
tories or towns may be built in them. The corridors let pandas mo
ve from one habitat (栖息地) to another to look for food. Pandas als
o move around to find a mate and start a family. People are worki
ng very hard to make sure the giant panda does not die out!1.The
WWF chose the giant panda as its symbol because they think it’s _
_____.A. big and heavyB. furry and cuteC. most popularD. in dange
r2.From the second paragraph we know that ______.A. the number of
the panda hasn’t changedB. the panda lives in many countriesC. t
he panda is still in dangerD. the panda has more habitats3.The un
derlined word “reserves” means ______ in the passage.A. houses wh
ere pandas can live happilyB. areas where pandas can be protected
C. food that pandas like to eatD. roads that pandas walks on DEve
ryone has got two personalities (性格) — the one that is shown to t
he world arid the other that is secret and real. You don''t show y
our secret personality when you’re awake because you can control
yourself, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position (姿势) sho
ws the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change y
our sleeping positions. The important position that best shows yo
ur secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.If you go t
o sleep on your back, you’re a very open person, You normally tru
st people and you are easily influenced by new ideas. You don’t l
ike to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelin
gs. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.If you sleep o
n your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You w
orry a lot and you’re always easily becoming sad. You never want
to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the wa
y it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow.If you sleep
on curled up (蜷缩), you are probably a very nervous person. You h
ave a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from bei
ng hurt, so you are very defensive. You’re shy and you don’t usua
lly like meeting people. You like to be on your own.If you sleep
on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced (平衡的) personal
ity. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually caref
ul. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried,
but you don’t often get unhappy. You always say what you think,
even if it makes people angry.1.When does it show the real you?A.
When you’re awake.B. When you’re asleep.C. When you’re playingD.
When you’re studying2.You may find this passage in ______.A. a s
cience magazine.B. a guide bookC. a sports newspaperD. a story bo
ok3.What does the passage tell us?A. Sleeping on your side is the
best way of sleeping.B. Changing positions will cause sleeping p
roblems.C. Sleeping positions show people’s personalities.D. Enou
gh sleep makes people look better and healthier.EWe can easily an
d cheaply get all the wisdom of the ages, all the stories that ha
ve delighted (使快乐) mankind for centuries, but we must know how to
use this treasure and how to get the most from it. The most unfo
rtunate people all over the world are those who have never discov
ered how satisfying it is to read good books.I am very interested
in people, in meeting them and finding about them. I’ve found in
books new friends, new societies, and new words. Reading is a pl
easure of mind, it is a little like a sport: Your eagerness for k
nowledge and quickness make you a good reader. Your experience, c
ompared with his, bring you to the same or different conclusions,
and your ideas develop as you understand his.Every book stands b
y itself, like a one-family house, but books in a library like ho
uses in a city. Wherever you start reading you connect yourself w
ith one of the families of ideas, and finally you not only find o
ut about the world and the people in it, you find out about yours
elf too.Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you fo
cus on books somebody tells you “you ought” to read, you probably
won’t have fun. But if you put down a book you don’t like and tr
y another till you find one that means something to you, and then
relax with it, you will almost certainly have a good time, and i
f you become, as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder, or m
ore gentle, you won’t have suffered during the process.1.Which is
wrong according to the passage?A. Reading can find new friends.B
. Reading is fun.C. Reading is a little like a sport.B. While rea
ding you’ll have no imagination.2.What does the underlined word “
process” mean in Chinese?A. 过程B. 作用C. 手续D. 工序3.The writer’s purpo
se in writing the passage is to ______.A. show the importance of
readingB. tell us how to make reading more effectiveC. tell us ho
w to readB. show us the pleasure of reading四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题（共10分
，每小题2分）Some students like to translate when they practice speakin
g English. Translation is a very difficult exercise. During a con
versation, we don’t really have time to translate what we underst
and. When we use translation, we don’t develop the necessary refl
exes (反应能力) needed to speak and understand a foreign language. It
is important to build up reflexes right from the beginning. It w
ill help you later when your skills are good enough to take a con
versation.Then how do you build up reflexes when you only have ba
sic words and grammar? Can it be done? of course! Here is some ad
vice for you.Relax!No one is checking you except yourself! Look a
t each communication experience as an adventure. Try to relax fir
st when you speak English.Context is your friend.What is context?
It means the situation in which something happens and that helps
to understand it. We can make good guesses by using the context.
It will be easy when you think about the context. You will feel
much more comfortable and confident if you remember that.Ask ques
tions what you want to know.After you have proudly asked for tick
ets at the train station, the booking-office clerk (售票员) spoke a
long sentence to you about the place and the time. You may be a l
ittle unclear or have only understood a part of it. However, you
can ask questions about what you want to know, such as, “Did you
say…?” or “Would you repeat that more slowly?”. Then you can easi
ly go on with your communication. Use body language.Use body lang
uage to go with your words when you begin to learn a second langu
age. The person you are speaking to only wants to understand you
and will be carefully listening to you. As your English becomes b
etter, you will depend more on the language and less on body lang
uage. But there is no shame for a beginner.1. Who does the writer
write this passage for?_________________________________________
