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 use horses, carriages and bicycles.
In the Second World War, some people didn’t use gas(氣體) 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 types of gas, we can also use electricity to run our cars, but first we must make the electricity! Some countries have coal(煤炭) 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 (渦輪機(jī)) and make electricity more easily and cheaply.
We are also able to get power from the ocean tides(潮). 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?
【小題1】When might people have to go back to use 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.
【小題2】What did some people use to make gas in the Second World War?
A.Water B.Coal C.Wood and plants D.Tides
【小題3】How many ways are suggested to make electricity in the passage?
A.2 B.5 C.4 D.3
【小題4】According to the 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.

解析試題分析:世界上沒有足夠的石油。隨著時(shí)間的推移,它變得越來越少,所以我們要做什么當(dāng)它用盡之后?或許我們將回頭使用馬,馬車和自行車。第二次世界大戰(zhàn)中,有些人沒有使用氣體從石油在他們的車。他們使氣體從木材和植物來代替。汽車開不快,但他們跑,所以這也聊勝于無。然而,在未來,我們不能砍倒所有的樹來制造天然氣;我們需要我們的樹木做其他的事情。
除了不同類型的氣,我們也可以使用電力驅(qū)動汽車,但首先我們必須發(fā)電!一些國家有煤炭,他們用煤發(fā)電,但我們不會總是有煤。其他大國家,有強(qiáng)大的河流,他們可以利用水的力量推動渦輪機(jī),使電力更容易和便宜。我們也能從海洋潮汐能發(fā)電。我們把渦輪機(jī)到河口。然后在漲潮,水就變成了渦輪機(jī),然后出電。這些方法將用于運(yùn)行我們的汽車在未來?
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題:什么時(shí)候人們可能不得不回到使用馬和車?分析第一自然段出示了答案,現(xiàn)在世界上沒有足夠多的石油。故選 B。
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題:在第二次世界大戰(zhàn)中人們用什么來制造蒸汽?原文:In the Second World War, some people didn’t use gas(氣體) made from petroleum (石油) in their cars. They made gas from wood and plants instead.句意:第二次世界大戰(zhàn)中,有些人沒有使用氣體從石油在他們的車。他們使用氣體從木材和植物來代替。故選C。
【小題3】計(jì)算及細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題:短文中提到多少種建議去發(fā)電?有三種,分別是:coal、strong rivers、the ocean tides。故選 D。
【小題4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。通過這個(gè)信息,哪個(gè)信息是正確的?分析選項(xiàng):A. There is more petroleum than we can use now.描述與事實(shí)相反。B. Trees are needed for some other things besides making gas.樹除了制作汽體還有其他用途(不正確)C. We got electricity from ocean tides in the old days.在舊社會我們得到電是從海潮中來。(不正確)D. Gas wasn’t used to run cars in the Second World War.在二戰(zhàn)中汽體沒有用在小汽車上。(正確)故選B。
【小題5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。這個(gè)短文主要講述什么?總結(jié)全文得到描述石油用盡后我們做什么。故選 B。

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak, when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.
When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed(責(zé)備), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories ? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things, they cannot write them down in a small notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is the whole time being exercised.
So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering things in a way as other people do.
【小題1】Someone can’t have a good memory if ________.

A.he can’t read or write
B.he doesn’t use his memory

A.you can’t use them any more

【小題3】Which of the following is TRUE ?
A.Your memory works in the different way as your arms or legs
B.Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you do not give it enough chance for practice
C.Don’t learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memory
D.A good memory comes from less practice
【小題4】Few people know that it is only ______ if a friend has a poor memory.

Traveling by train is usually not easy in China. It can be hard to get a ticket. When you’re traveling to the railway station, you look at your watch, for you are afraid you will miss your train.
But there is good news for people traveling between Beijing and Shanghai. Construction (建設(shè)) on the express railway (高速鐵路) between the two cities started just before the Spring Festival of 2008. When it is finished by 2013, taking a train will be as easy as taking a bus.
“There will be trains every several minutes. Buying a ticket, getting through the checkpoint (檢查站) and taking your seat, will take just 10 minutes,” said an engineer.
There may be high-speed trains running at 350 kilometers an hour. The travel time between the two cities will decrease from 10 to about 5 hours. The trains will carry twice the present number of passengers.
The new line will be 1,318 kilometers long and go across specially built bridges. It will run along side the present line. There will be 21 stations in Hebei, Tianjin, Shandong, Anhui and Jiangsu.
“The cost of traveling by the express railway may be around 800 yuan. That will be more expensive than an ordinary train, but cheaper than by air.” Said Zhang Xiaoling, a Jiangsu government official.
According to Zhang, the higher price is caused by the large cost of the railway project. At about 200 billion yuan, the project may be even more expensive than the Three Gorges Project (三峽工程).
【小題1】The express railway between Beijing and Shanghai will be finished _______.

A.a(chǎn)t the end of this year B.before the Spring Festival of 2008

B.The high-speed trains will have 21 stations in Shanghai, Shandong, Hunan and Jiangsu.

Every place offers the possible dangers for getting hurt, even staying at work. We may face dangers like walking into desks or chairs, receiving unexpected cuts from a paper knife and so on. Industrial jobs have similar and more dangers like getting body parts hurt by machines or falling from a height.
No one wants to get hurt. Some accidents are avoidable(可避免的). Most accidents happen because of common things seen every day—an open desk drawer, a chair pulled out too far, water on the floor and so on. We slowly get used to these things we see every day and never think about what they could possibly become in the future.
Think about the following to prevent dangers to yourself and others:
1. If there is something you see and know may become a danger for yourself or others, do      something about it. Close a desk drawer, clean up or put a sign over the water, turn off the power before leaving, and so on.
2. Get extra persons’ help and support on a task that is too hard for a single person.
3. Study the situation and think what could possibly happen and change if necessary. Do it before something happens and you won’t have to say some day, “ I should have… How sorry I feel…”
To use an old phrase “ Safety is everyone’s duty.” Looking down on it could lead to being hurt. Keep the rule in mind every day “ Everyone wants to go home in the same condition the  came to work in –or better.”
