Many countries are working to improve railroad passenger service along heavily traveled routes that run between cities. Because they use less energy perpassenger than any other means of transportation, modern railroads could help save the world’s energy resources（資源）and reduce air pollution.
The MLV is a new type of high-speed vehicle, which carries people from one city to another. An MLV track is made up of a single rail that lies under the centre of the train, but the train doesn't touch the track when it is moving. MLV’s are powered by electric motors. A powerful magnetic（磁的）force, produced by magnets in both the motor and the track itself. Levitates（懸�。�the train. This magnetic force holds the train about 15 cm above the rail and moves it forward. The train, which was designed by French, German, and Japanese engineers, is expected to travel more than 480 km per hour.
1．An MLV is a sort of ______.
[ ]
A．strong magnitic force
B．special energy resource
C．modern passenger train
D．straight railroad
2．When an MLV is running, there is powerful magnetic force in ______.
[ ]
A．the motor only
B．the track only
C．not only the motor but also the track
D．neither the motor nor the track
3．From the sentence”This magnetic force holds the train about 15 cm above the rail and moves it forward.” We know that when moving forward, an MLV ______.
[ ]
A．is lifted above the track
B．touches the rail all the time
C．leaves the track from time to time
D．floats high above the rail
4．Which of the following is NOT TRUE?
[ ]
A．An MLV runs much faster than an ordinary train.
B．Engineers designed the MLV in order to improve railroad goods service.
C．Modern passenger service could help save energy resources.
D．An MLV doesn’t produce waste gases.
5．The reason to improve railroad passenger service doesn't lie in that ______.
[ ]
A．energy resources ought to be saved
B．people want to reduce air pollution
C．transportation problems remain unsettled
D．more and more passengers don't want to travel by train

Books are for reading, but man must bring to their reading a desire to learn and a power of absorbing. Reading should be active, not passive.
When students first go to a library, they may be at a loss as to what to read of all the different subjects. Well, Bacon tells you to “l(fā)ook at weak places in your armor（盔甲）”, and shows you how to fill up the blanks（空白）in your knowledge. On the other hand ,it is no good just trying to fill your mind with Knowledge. Knowledge in itself is often useless. A mind filled with too much knowledge is like a room too full of furniture; a man cannot walk about freely in it, and look out of the windows. It is much better to concentrate on a few subjects which interest you and to deal lightly with the others than to march heavily through the whole range of learning, like a silly tourist（旅游者）going through a museum and not missing a single object. If you try to master every subject you may become very wise, but you will be very lonely and you will probably lose all your friends. So you must learn to pick and choose , and you must also learn to look here and there in a library like a camel eating grass on the grassland. If you watch it eating, you will see that although he is supposed to be one of the most stupid animals in the world, he has at least one of the qualities of the cultured man, the power to pick and choose. A student looking for mental food in a library should take the camel as his model.
1．The writer thinks that one must ______.
[ ]
A．read as many books as he can
B．try to read books on all the different subjects
C．only read books on subjects that interest him
D．read and absorb a lot
2．A cultured man is similar(相同)to a camel because ______.
[ ]
A．neither of them is interested in knowledge
B．the man reads books as much as a camel eats grass
C．neither of them can be considered wise
D．both of them have the ability to select
3．The term “mental food” at the end of the passage refers to ______.
[ ]
A．books B．grassland
C．brain D．subjects
4．In the second paragraph the writer mainly discusses ______.
[ ]
A．how to compare furniture with books
B．how to select reading materials
C．how to avoid missing anything interesting in the library.
D．why books must be absorbed
5．The writer thinks that it is ______ to try to master every subject.
[ ]

The first man to step out of a spaceship and “walk” in outer space was a Russian, Alexia Leon．And Edward White was the first American to take a “space walk”．It is very interesting to imagine what it is like to take a “walk” in space．
How did these two astronauts walk in space? Well, they did not actually walk in space with their feet．They floated there．That is because in space there is no earth under your feet to walk on．Space is empty．There is nothing around you and nothing under your feet at all．So how is it possible to walk with your feet? You can only float．What is more, as there is no up or down in space, to float on your stomach, or on your back, or on your head, all feels the same．It does not make any difference to you whether you look at the earth upside down or right side up．
A good way to help you to float in space is to use a jet gun．It pushes you much as a jet engine pushes a plane．It also helps you control your direction．And in order to keep you from moving too far away from your spaceship, you have to have a line with you and tie its other end to the spaceship, because it would be so easy to move too fast and drift so far into space that it would be difficult to get back to the spaceship．This line also carries oxygen for you to breathe, and messages from inside the spaceship and from the earth．
The first two men to work outside of a spaceship have already enjoyed “space walking”．Their experiments are the first step toward the building of space stations for the exploration of outer space．
1．This passage mainly tells us ______．
[ ]
A．how people walk in outer space
B．how people are sent into outer space
C．how people get back onto the earth from space
D．how people build space stations
2．Alexia Leon and Edward White were both ______．
[ ]
A．Russians B．Americans
C．spacemen D．Englishmen
3．In fact, Leon and Edward White both ______．
[ ]
A．walked B．ran
C．jumped D．floated
4．A jet gun is used to ______．
[ ]
A．push a plane up into the sky
B．help an astronaut float in space
C．help an astronaut control the direction in space
D．both B and C
5．In space the special line is used to carry oxygen for people to breathe and messages from the spaceship or the earth besides ______．
[ ]
A．keeping people from moving too far away from the spaceship
B．drifting so far into space
C．controlling the direction
D．getting back to the earth

語篇理解
Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes．To some extent（從某種程度上說） our intelligence（智力） is given to us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius（天才） out of a child born with low intelligence．On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring（乏味的） environment（環(huán)境） will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings．Thus the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether of not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment．This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways．
It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with．The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence．Thus if we take two unrelated people at random（隨意地） from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different．If on the other hand we take two identical twins（雙胞胎） they will very likely be as intelligent as each other．Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar（相同的） intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth．
Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments．We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring．We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates（表明） that environment as well as birth plays a part．This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other（聯(lián)系）, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence．
1．The writer is in favor of the view that man's intelligence is given to him ______．
[ ]
A．at birth
B．through education
C．both at birth and through education
D．neither at birth nor through education
2．If a child is born with low intelligence, he can ______．
[ ]
A．never become a genius
B．still become a genius if he should be given special education
C．exceed（超過） his intelligence limits in rich surroundings
D．not reach his intelligence in his life
3．In the second paragraph “if we take two unrelated people at random from the population…” means if we ______．
[ ]
A．pick up any two persons
B．choose two persons who are relatives
C．take out two different persons
D．choose two persons with different intelligence
4．The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately is to show ______．
[ ]
A．the importance of their intelligence
B．the role of environment on intelligence
C．the importance of their positions
D．the part that birth plays
5．The best title of this passage can be ______．
[ ]
A．Surroundings
B．Intelligence
C．Dependence on Environment
D．Effect of Education

The old man rested in the sun.He thought of his violin which he loved dearly.He remembered buying it in 1931 from a stranger who needed money.He had paid him ＄ 2．50．
“Uncle Sanchez, a telegram(電報)for you!”a boy shouted.
Slowly the man opened it.First he smiled,then he laughed.
“What is it?”the boy asked.
“From the American who saw my violin at Christmas.”He remembered that the stranger had looked inside the violin as if he were looking for gold.”He says my violin was made by Stradivari.He will buy it for ＄100000.”
Sanchez was not the first person to learn that his violin was a treasure(財寶).He is just one of the most recent.Stories like this could be told in different parts of the world.Some of Stradivari’s violins have been carefully protected,others have been harmed by carelessness.

Today it is thought that Stradivari made violins that are better than any made ever since.Many of the world’s best violinists have chosen Stradivari’s violins.But few now can have a lot of money to collect them.some of the most beautiful are kept in museums.There,they can be seen by everyone or lent to famous artists for concerts.
