　　A

　　of a terrible rainstorm, with no cars on the road．The storm was so strong that the man could hardly see a few feet ahead of him．Suddenly, he saw a car come towards him and stop．The man, without thinking about it, got in the car and closed the door and only then did he realize that there was nobody behind the steering wheel（方向盘）!

　　The car started to move very slowly．The man looked at the road and saw a curve （拐弯处）coming his way．Terrified, he started to pray, begging for his life．He had not come out of shock when, just before the car hit the curve, a hand suddenly appeared through the window and moved the wheel．The man, paralyzed with fear, watched how the hand appeared every time the car was drawing near a curve．Finally, although terrified, the man managed to open the door and jump out of the spooky car．Without looking back, the man ran through the storm all the way to the nearest town．In a state of complete horror, the man walked into a nearby bar and asked for two glasses of Scotch whisky．

　　Then, still shaking with fright, he started telling everybody in the bar about the horrible experience he just went through in the spooky car．Everyone in the bar listened in silence and became frightened, with hair standing on end, when they realized the man was telling the truth because he was crying and he was certainly not drunk!

　　About half an hour later, two other young men walked into the same bar and one said to the other, “Hey, there’s a stupid man who jumped into the car while we were pushing it!”

　　1．When the car was first drawing near a curve, the man ________．

　　A．felt very curious

　　B．was extremely frightened

　　C．cried for help

　　D．remained as calm as possible

　　．According to the passage, what made the man’s experience believable?

　　B．His vivid description．

　　C．His plain appearance．

　　D．His honest attitude．

　　．We can infer from the passage that ________．

　　A．it is unsafe for people to take a free ride

　　B．the man was telling a lie to his listeners

　　C．the car probably broke down on the way

　　D．the two young men were familiar with the manB

　　Car sharing is another way to drive green that’s gaining in popularity, especially in urban areas．People who may not drive every day but still want a car to run errands （差事）or drive on weekends benefit most from car sharing．Car sharing is usually run by a service like Zipcar,monthly fee and have access to an entire fleet of cars when they need one．The cars are parked in fixed spots around the city, so members only need to make a reservation, and then go to the pickup spot．

　　Car sharing has major environmental benefits because it reduces the number of cars on the road．Members don’t drive just because they are in a car．They plan trips, and if they don’t need a car, they don’t use one．Still, a car is available to them if they need to make a big trip to the grocery store, pick someone up at the airport or if they want to go to the beach for the day．Members also benefit by having access to a car without any of the headaches of ownership．They’t have to pay for the gas, insurance or maintenance （保养）, and the monthly membership fee is less than a typical car payment．So if you really want to go green but aren’t ready to totally give up a car yet, car sharing may be the way to go．

　　If you still need to get around, but want to go even greener than sharing a car, share a bus!

　　4．The author intends to tell us that car sharing ________．

　　A．has become the most popular way to go to work

　　B．Zipcar, different from other services, aims green driving with no profit

　　．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

　　B．Car sharing can save you the headaches of ownership．

　　C．Bus sharing is even greener than car sharing．

　　D．Zipcar is the largest company offering car sharing services．For many people, the name Baskin-Robbins is linked to sweet memories of eating ice cream．Irvine Robbins, who helped create this famous company, died in May at the age of ninety．His life's work of making fun and exciting ice cream flavors changed the way Americans enjoy this food．

　　Irvine Robbins opened his first ice cream store in 1945 in California．At the time, there were no

　　that sold only ice cream．His sister's husband, Burton Baskin, also opened hiscream stores．

　　In 1948 they combined their six stores into one business．Baskin and Robbins realized that they were too busy to operate each store well．So, they decided to sell part of each operation the manager of that store．This permitted the company to grow quickly． they renamed their company Baskin-Robbins．They advertised that they sold 31 kinds of ice cream to show the many choices buyers had．There was one flavor for every day of．

　　Robbins and Baskin sold "Lunar Cheesecake" the day after astronauts landed on the moon in 1969． flavors included "ChaChaCha", for cherry chocolate chip, and Robbins' personal favorile "Jamoca Almond Fudge"．They said: "We sell fun, not just ice cream．"

　　it, I happened to throw an old broken blender(搅拌机) in the trash. The next day it was sitting on my counter—in working order. In his world, people simply cannot afford to replace an item which doesn't work properly. They take the time and figure out how to fix it. In Cuba, they are still driving cars from the 1960s, mainly because they do not have a choice.

　　In contrast, the US is a “throwaway” society. Statistics show that each American produces six pounds of trash per day. I believe a combination of factors has contributed to this phenomenon.

　　Planned obsolescence(废弃) is not a secret. It is a manufacturing(制造业) philosophy developed in the 1920s and 1930s, when mass production became popular. The goal is to make a product or part that will fail, or become less desirable over time or after a certain amount of use. This pressures consumers to buy again.

　　Planned obsolescence does keep costs down. Instead of making an expensive product that will last a long time, businesses produce more affordable, disposable(一次性的) items. Some electronic items have become so inexpensive that it is cheaper to replace them than to repair them.replacing it with a newer, more reliable model may be more appealing than tolerating it being in the garage for a week.

　　In addition, advertising trains consumers to want what is new and improved. It convinces them that the more they have, the happier they will be.

　　Unlike people in many developing countries, we live in a world of abundance. A study by Dr Timothy Jones of the University of Arizona also found that in the US, 40～50 per cent of all food ready for harvest is wasted. Abundance and waste soon became closely associated in the American way of life.

　　12．In Cuba, people usually fix a broken item instead of buying a new one because ________．they live a low－carbon lifeplanned obsolescence ________．C. results in higher prices of items

　　D. requires factories to produce high－quality products new blender rather than repair the broken one.

　　B．A large quantity of food has been wasted.

　　C．People believe that the more they have, the happier they will be.

　　D．People all hold the belief that money comes first.

　　15．What may be the writer's attitude towards a throw－away society?’t feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.

　　Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. We use a system called the Fahrenheit scale. But most other countries use the Centigrade scale.

　　Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide.

　　17

　　.

　　The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury (水银) inside a clear glass tube. As mercury (or any other liquid) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts. That is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass tube.

　　18

　　.

　　First, take a clear glass juice bottle that has a cap; fill the bottle with colored water. Tap a hole in the center of the cap using a hammer and thick nail. Put the cap on the jar. Then stick a plastic straw (吸管) through the nail hole.

　　19

　　.

　　Finally, place a white card on the outside of the bottle and behind the straw. Now you can see the water level easily.

　　20

　　.

　　As the temperature goes down, the water will contract, and the level in the straw will come down. Perhaps you will want to keep a record of the water level in the straw each morning for a week.

　　A．We use and depend on thermometers to measure the temperature of many other things in our daily lives.

　　B．Thermometers measure temperature, by using materials that change in the same way when they are heated or cooled.

　　C．Now that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own that will work.

　　D．The water will rise in the straw. As the temperature of the air goes up, the water will expand and rise even higher.

　　E．They label these in different ways. On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. On the Celsius scale water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees.

　　F．Take wax (you may use an old candle if you have one) and melt some of it right where the straw is stuck into the cap to seal (把……粘住) them together.

　　G．People use thermometers which are made by themselves when traveling around the world.
