One way is the greater production of common energy sources, such as coal, oil and gas. The trouble with these sources, however, is that they are not renewable(可再生的).Another way is energy conservation(节能), which means using energy more efficiently. In some very cold countries, people build special houses to save energy. They place materials between the inside and outside of the walls of the house to keep the cold out and the warmth in.Finally, renewable energy sources are used even though they are often expensive to develop. One form of these is geothermal energy(地热). In certain parts of the world, the temperature of the earth increases thirty degrees centigrade(摄氏)with each kilometer down. At six kilometers, therefore, it rises to nearly two hundred degrees. Heat from the earth is already used in some countries.6.Four different ways of dealing with energy problems are talked about in the passage.A.TB.F答案:B7.We can learn from the passage that coal is the most common source of energy.A.TB.F答案:B8.Special houses are built because they can save energy.A.TB.F答案:A9.According to the passage, geothermal energy is heat inside the earth.A.TB.F答案:A10.At four km deep, the temperature of the earth rises to nearly 200°C.A.TB.F答案:BOne day a bookseller(书商)let a big box of books fall on his foot. "Go to see the doctor," said his wife. "No, "he said. "I'll wait until the doctor comes into the shop next time. Then I'll ask him about my foot. If I go to see him, I'll have to pay him."On the next day the doctor came into the shop for some books. When the bookseller was getting them ready, he told the doctor about his bad foot. The doctor looked at it."You must put that foot in hot water every night. Then you must put something on it," said the doctor.He took out a piece of paper and wrote on it. "Buy this and put it on the foot before you go to bed every night," he said."Thank you," said the bookseller.

The smoke also contains many gases, most of which cannot be seen. Altogether, they make up the serious problems of air pollution. In so many places it keeps us from seeing the sun, irritate(刺痛) our eyes, causes us to cough and makes us ill.Air pollution can spread from city to city. It even spreads from one country to another. Some northern European countries have had "black snow" from pollutants that have traveled through the air from other countries and have fallen with the snow. So air pollution is a global problem. It can kill babies, older people and those who have respiratory(呼吸) disease. In 1952, four thousands people die in one week as a result of a serious air pollution breakout in London. In 1948 in a small town of Pennsylvania, 20 people died in a four - day period of air pollution. As often found in cities, air pollution increases the risks of lung disease, such as bronchitis and asthma. Of course, smoking and other factors help to cause these illnesses, too, but these causes have increased greatly during recent years as air pollution has become worse.(1)、Which of the following is NOT true about the "black snow" incident?A:It happened in the northern European countries.B:It happened there because air pollution in these countries was most serious.C:Pollutants that fell with snow made it dirty.D:It is a global problem.答案: B评析:空(2)、Who can be killed by air pollution?A:Earth and plants.B:Stones and birds.C:Those who suffer from respiratory illnesses.D:Both A and C.答案: C评析:此题没有评析(3)、How many people died of air pollution in Pennsylvania in 1948?A:4,000.B:20.C:None.D:4020.答案: B评析:此题没有评析(4)、What are bronchitis and asthma?A:Different types of headaches.B:Lung disease.C:Heart diseases.D:Different types of stomach aches.答案: B评析:此题没有评析(5)、According to the passage, air pollution increases people's chance of getting ______?A:Headache.B:A lung disease.C:Stomachache.D:Nervous breakdown.答案: B评析:空2、 Paper is one of the most important products ever invented by man. Wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on. The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed and distributed. Together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge. How much paper do you use every year? Probably you cannot answer that question quickly. In 1900 the world's use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year. Countries like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper thanother countries.Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant. Europeans used parchment for many hundreds of years. Parchment was very strong; it was made fromthe skin of certain young animals. We have learnt of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment.(1)、What's the meaning for the word 'parchment'? ________A:The skin of young animals.B:A kind of paper made from the skin of certain young animals.C:The paper used by European countries.D:The paper of Egypt.答案: B评析:空(2)、Which of the following is not mentioned about the invention of paper? ________ A:More jobs could be provided than before.B:More people could be educated than before.C:More books could be printed and distributed.D:More ways could be used to exchange knowledge.答案: A评析:此题没有评析(3)、When did the Egyptians begin to use paper widely? ________A:Around 1400.B:Around 1900.C:Around 400.D:Around 900.答案: A评析:此题没有评析(4)、Which of the following countries uses more paper for each person a year?________A:China.B:Sweden.C:Egypt.D:Japan.答案: B评析:此题没有评析(5)、What is the main idea of this short talk? ________A:More and more paper is being consumed nowadays.B:Paper enables people to receive education more easily.C:The invention of paper is of great significance to man.D:Paper contributes a lot to the keeping of historical records.答案: C评析:此题没有评析三、词汇与语法1、Tom is so talkative.
