It's not the flashiest car in the world. Not even close. But the 1971 Volkswagen named Helios can do something most cars can't: nm on solar energy – energy from the sun's light and heat!

    Joshua Bechtold, 14, and the other students at the Riverside School in Lyndonville, Vermont, worked many months to get Helios ready for the 1999  American Tour de Sol （"Sol" is the Latin word for "sun"）. They named their car after Helios, the sun god in Greek mythology（神話）.

    The 4-year-old Tour de Sol encourages the use of "green", or environmentally friendly, cars to help reduce pollution and save energy. It’s not a race. Cars are  judged on fuel efficiency（耗油量） rather than speed. In the week-long event, 44 cars took the 350-mile tour from Waterbury, Connecticut, to Lake George, New York. Of the 23 student cars, Helios was the only one built by middle school students.

    A teacher drove Helios, but the children talked with people wherever they stopped along the mad. "That was my favorite part," says Anna Browne, 15. "We explained how the car runs.”

    Due in part to old, inefficient batteries（電池）, Helios finished fourth - out of four - in its kind, the sun-powered class. "We were there for the fun of it," Anna says. "We're proud of Helios," says Ariel Gleicher, 14. "It's a car that's good for the environment."

64. What is special about the car Helios in the text?       

       A. It was built by middle school students.

       B. It has an attractive design.

      C. It was made in 1971.

      D. It won the fourth prize.

65. How many sun-powered cars took part in the race?      

       A. 1.       B. 4.     C. 23.    D. 44.

66. What would be the best title for the text.'?       

      A. The Making of Helios

      B. 1999 American Tour de Sol

      C. Sun-powered Cars on the Road

      D. Use of Green Cars in Connecticut

67. The students felt proud of Helios because______.

      A. it could run as far as 350 miles      B. it was favored by many children

   C. it had high-quality batteries          D. it was driven by clean energy

The Healing
Jim and his wife, Connie, were shocked by the loss of their four-month-old son—Joshua, whose life was taken by SIDS—sudden infant death syndrome.
Thirty hours ago Jim drove to the baby-sitter’s home to  1  Joshua. It was a  2  trip, like the one he made five days every week. He arrived, and little Joshua could not be   3   from his nap. The next few hours were a time of life and death: the racing ambulance, swift-moving doctors and nurses….but 12 hours later, at children’s Hospital,   4  the doctors had exhausted all  5 , little Joshua was gone. Yes, they wanted   6  of Joshua’s usable organs to be donated. That was not a   7  decision for Jim and Connie, a loving and   8  couple.
The next morning dawned and many things had to be arranged. Telephone calls and funeral plans.   9  one point Jim realized he needed a  10 .When Jim settled into the chair   11   the barber’s, he began to   12   the past hours, trying to   13  some sense of it all.   14  had Joshua, their first-born, the child they had waited so long for, been taken so soon….he had   15  begun his life….The question kept coming, and the pain in Jim’s heart just   16  him.
While talking with the barber, Jim mentioned the organ donations, looking at his watch: “They are transplanting one of his heart valves(瓣膜) right now.”
The  17  stopped and stood motionless. Finally she spoke, but it was only a whisper. “You’re not going to believe this….but about an hour ago the customer sitting in this chair wanted me to hurry   18  she could get to Children’s Hospital. She  19  here so full of joy….her prayers had been answered. Today her baby granddaughter is receiving a  20  needed transplant—a heart valve.”
Jim’s healing began.

The three youths leaned over the metal rails along the sea-wall and watched a few fishermen pull in their nets. About thirty metres away, a boat pulled alongside the slippery steps leading  36  to the sea.

“You’re right, Josh. He may have a small build.   46    he certainly well knows his job. Dear me! And to think we have been studying   47   ! ” Rahim thought about all that was happening. Suddenly, he said, “Technology won’t   48   the human being completely, it appears.”

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2011-2012學(xué)年湖南省師大附中高一下學(xué)期期末考試英語(yǔ)試卷（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解

What’s in a name? Well, apparently, our general happiness. Psychologists say that what we are called has a direct connection with our well-being (幸福).
     Those called Judy and Joshua are the happiest, while Lynn or Ben is likely to be the unhappiest, according to research. Psychologist Dr David Holmes found that this might due to the association(聯(lián)想)that others made with the name. Hearing the name Judy may make them think of actress Judi Dench or TV presenter Judy Finnigan, people who are seen as good natured and happy. On the other hand, people think Paulines are unhappy because of the character Pauline Fowler from the TV programme East Enders. The research claims that this association influences the person with the name and so their personality becomes shaped to fit it. Dr David Holmes said, "This also has some relation with the original meaning of the name. For example, the original meaning of Judy is 'praised’."
     Certain names also work well in certain aspects of life. In the workplace Richard and Judy are happiest, while those called Ruth and Carly are happiest in relationships. At the other end of the scale the unhappiest workers are Stuart and Liz, with the unhappiest in relationships being Frank and Harriet.
       Dr Holmes said, "The relation we have with certain names, particularly important namesakes(同名者), also shapes how we see ourselves and so may have an effect on our confidence. Names are like product brands in having a powerful effect on attitudes and should therefore be chosen with care."
      "Other names are connected with being brave, outgoing or serious. Therefore, many celebrities change their names to ones which reflect these characteristics. This, in turn, influences parents when they choose names for their babies," said Dr Holmes, "however, names connected with ordinary people are seldom chosen for their babies".
【小題1】Which of the following is NOT a reason why Judy is a good name?

A．The association people make with it.
B．Its original meaning.
C．The high number of famous people who are called Judy.
D．The personalities of famous Judys.
【小題2】According to the passage, which of the following names are better?
A．Ruth and Joshua.B．Pauline and Frank.C．Richard and Stuart.D．Joshua and Ben.
【小題3】The reason why names should be chosen carefully is that___________.
A．good names can make us succeed.
B．names can affect how we see ourselves
C．names can tell us what we should do
D．good names can show others who we are
【小題4】The author may continue the passage with__________.
    
A．names and product brandsB．famous people’s names
C．parents ‘choices of baby namesD．names and personality
【小題5】What’s the main idea of this passage?
    
A．How to choose a good name for babies.
B．How to achieve success by changing a good name.
C．The relation between names and success.
D．The relation between names and happiness.
