　　(2017·兰州一中检测)The German city of Hamburg has announced plans to become car­free within the next two decades. It is an ambitious idea, but city officials obviously feel that the personal motor car does not fulfill a function that walking, biking and taking public transport can do. The goal of Hamburg's project is to replace roads with a green network, which will allow people to navigate through the city without the use of cars.

　　Banishing the car from urban areas is becoming a common trend in many European cities. London imposes a “congestion charge” on private vehicles entering the city centre during rush hours. Copenhagen is building bicycle superhighways radiating from the city centre. These developments combined may make worrying reading for driving enthusiasts. Is the time of the personal car over?

　　In the century since the Ford Model T was introduced in 1908, global vehicle numbers have swollen to well over a billion. But according to the recent research, the growth may have stopped.

　　According to Professor Michael Sivak, at the University of Michigan, “motorization” in the US might have reached a peak in 2008, and the figures have been on the decline since then.

　　“New York, Washington, Boston, Philadelphia, each has more than thirty percent of households without a light duty vehicle，” says Sivak. In fact, the figures show that fifty­six percent of households in New York (which top the list) don't have a car. “I think that will be surprising to most people. It was surprising to me, and I am in the business.”

　　Sivak thinks a number of factors could be contributing to the trend, including working from home and the movement of populations back to city centers. In China, Beijing and Shanghai are looking at plans to limit the number of new vehicles being registered to control growth. It's a movement more cities are looking to, particularly in the US.

　　1．Why does Hamburg launch the “car­free” program?

　　A．To build a green environment.

　　B．To fix a worldwide road network.

　　C．To call on people to take exercise.

　　D．To replace the public transport.

　　2．The underlined word “Banishing” in Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by “________”．

　　A．Putting out　B．Giving away

　　C．Driving away

　　D．Setting out

　　3．Professor Michael Sivak uses the examples in Paragraph 5 to ________.

　　A．prove the number of cars has been increasing sharply

　　B．persuade Americans to give up their way of life

　　C．introduce to the readers a new trend in buying cars

　　D．show many Americans have already abandoned cars

　　4．What can be learned from the last paragraph?

　　A．Most people like to work in the countryside.

　　B．It is only big cities that are taking action.

　　C．Many factors contribute to the trend.

　　D．Effective rules have come into effect.

　　B

　　Europe on Thursday launched the first satellite of its Copernicus Earth observation project that will supply valuable images in the event of natural disasters or even a plane crash.

　　The Sentinel­1A satellite, which was sent into Earth's orbit from Europe's spaceport in French Guiana, will be used to monitor sea ice, oil spills and land use and to respond to emergencies such as floods and earthquakes.

　　The Copernicus project, for which the European Union and the European Space Agency (ESA) have committed funding of around 8.4 billion euros ($11.5 billion) until 2020, is described by the ESA as the most ambitious earth observation program to date.

　　“The big step forward is that we can now cover every place on Earth every three to six days，” Volker Liebig, director of ESA's Earth Observation program, said ahead of the launch. “If you want to use images for disaster management support or to find a plane, then you will want the images to be as fresh as possible.”

　　But he cautioned you would first need to know roughly where a plane had crashed, which is not the case with the missing Malaysian Airlines jet.

　　Copernicus also offers new business opportunities. Images can be downloaded free of charge, meaning companies can then use them to help deliver data to farmers on soil conditions or pest infestation, help oil companies decide where to drill new wells or make it easier for insurers to assess the risk of costly floods and fires.

　　Sentinel­1A, which will operate with a second satellite, Sentinel­1B, to be launched next year, has high­tech instruments that will allow it to record radar images of Earth's surface, even when the skies are cloudy or dark. As part of the Copernicus program, there will be 17 launches over the next decade.

　　5．For what purpose was the Sentinel­1A satellite sent up into space?

　　A．To improve observation of the earth.

　　B．To search for some missing planes.

　　C．To download free valuable images.

　　D．To predict floods and earthquakes.

　　6．According to Volker Liebig, the Sentinel­1A satellite ________.

　　A．can locate the missing Malaysian Airlines jet

　　B．has advanced but limited functions

　　C．may cause some safety problems

　　D．doesn't work on cloudy days or at night

　　7．How does the Copernicus project benefit farmers?

　　A．By supplying data on soil conditions.

　　B．By calculating the loss of costly floods.

　　C．By drilling oil wells in proper places.

　　D．By controlling the risk of potential fires.

　　8．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us about the Sentinel­1A satellite?

　　A．Its operation.

　　B．Its appearance.

　　C．Its instruments.

　　D．Its future.

　　6．解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第四段的内容可知，我们现在每三到六天就可以对地球上的每一个地方进行观测，说明该卫星已经很先进了，但该段最后指出，要找到坠毁的飞机，需要首先知道飞机坠毁的大致区域，这说明该卫星的功能仍有限。

　　7．解析：选A　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Images can be downloaded free of charge, meaning companies can then use them to help deliver data to farmers on soil conditions or pest infestation”可知，哥白尼项目可通过提供关于土壤状况或害虫侵扰的数据来帮助农民。

　　8．解析：选D　段落大意题。最后一段主要介绍了Sentinel­1A 将与以后发射的卫星一起工作，因此该段主要介绍了该卫星的未来，应选择D。

　　Dear Helen，

　　Thank you for your email. Now I would like to tell you something about the extra­curricular reading in our school. I'm sorry to say that most of the students in our school haven't realized the importance of reading, especially extra­curricular reading. As a result, the time and energy students devoted to reading are very limited. Besides, some students prefer to read cartoons, magazines and newspapers rather than classic reading materials.

　　I think the reasons behind that are various. First of all, quite a lot of students are burdened with too much homework. Still others haven't formed a habit of reading. They would rather spend their spare time on TVs or on computers.

　　However, reading has many benefits. Through reading we can learn more about the world. Reading can help us think better and make our life more colorful. So it is quite necessary

　　for the students to take up reading and for the teachers to limit the amount of our homework so that we can have more time to read.

　　Best wishes!

　　Yours，

　　Li Hua
