In China， most people ride bikes to school，or to work，or to places where they want to go．So China is called “kingdom of bicycles”．
But Americans are a people on the wheel．Wherever you go， you will see cars．There are so many cars that there is a traffic jam here and there．Now， more and more Americans would not consider it a healthy way of life．In fact， many Americans are strongly against the advancement of the wheel．We should encourage people to use less cars to save our environment and the energy．
Everyone wants to reduce pollution．But the pollution problem is very serious．People drive cars and the waste gas from them causes air pollution．On the other hand， the need for energy increases every day， and some sources of energy are running out． Oil will last for no more than 40 years， while coal could last another 300 years．The way we’re heading is towards a world where people are going to go cold and hungry．Now in China many rich men live away from downtown．On holidays they go to some big cities and places of interest．Most of them use their own cars．But China is a country with a population of over 1．3 billion．So， if you have enough money in the future，what will you do?
小題1:According to the passage， most Chinese people go to school or work by_________．
A．bikeB．busC．trainD．plane
小題2:In America， you will see _________ everywhere．
A．bikesB．carsC．oilD．coal
小題3:The waste gas from cars causes_________．
A．a(chǎn)ir pollutionB．traffic jams

B．the energy should be saved around the world
C．Chinese shouldn’t become a people on the wheel
D．rich Chinese shouldn’t use their own cars in China

About 21,000 young people in 17 American states do not go to classes in school buildings. Instead, they receive their school education by working at home on computers. The Center for Education Reform says the United States has 67 public “cyberschools,” and that is about twice as many as two years ago.
The money for students to go to a cyberschool comes from the governments of the states where they live. Some educators say cyberschools receive money that should support traditional public schools. They also say it is difficult to know if students are learning well.
Other educators praise this new form of education for letting students work at their own speed. These people say cyberschools help students who were unhappy or unsuccessful in traditional schools. They say learning at home by computer ends long bus rides for children who live far from school.
Whatever the judgment of cyberschools, they are getting more and more popular. For example, a new cybershool called Common-wealth Connections Academy will take in students this fall. It will serve children in the state of Pennsylvania from ages five through thirteen.
Children get free equipment for their online education. This includes a computer, a printer, books and technical(技術(shù)的) services. Parents and students talk with teachers by telephone or by sending emails through their computer when necessary.
Students at cyberschools usually do not know one another. But 56 such students who finished studies at Western Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School recently met for the first time. They were guests honor at their graduation.
小題1:What do we know from the text about students of a cyberschool?
A．They have to take long bus rides to school.
B．They study at home rather than in classrooms.
C．They receive money from traditional public schools.
D．They do well in traditional school program.
小題2:What is a problem with cyberschools?
A．Their equipment costs a lot of money.
B．They get little support from the state government.
C．It is hard to know students’ progress in learning.
D．The students find it hard to make friends.
小題3:Cyberschools are getting popular because ________.
A．they are less expensive for students
B．their students can work at their own speed
C．their graduates are more successful in society
D．they serve students in a wider age range(范圍)
小題4:We can infer that the author of the text is ________.
A．unprejudiced(無(wú)偏見(jiàn)的) in his description(描述) of cyberschools
B．excited about the future of cyberschools
C．doubtful about the quality of cyberschools
D．disappointed at the development of cyberschools
小題5: According to the text, which of the following statements is true?
A. About 67% of the students in the USA go to cyberschools nowadays.
B. Cyberschools will take the place of traditional schools in the future.
C. Cyberschools are the most popular form of education now in the USA.
D. Not everybody likes cyberschools.

Transportation and communication networks bring people together．Yet sometimes people themselves create barriers(障礙)to transportation and communication．
In some countries，laws stop people from moving freely from place to place．Over the centuries，many groups of people have been denied the freedom to travel because of their race，religion，or nationality．In the Middle Ages，for example，Jews were often forbidden to move about freely within certain cities．South Africa’s government used to require black Africans to carry passes when they travel within the country．Some governments require all citizens to carry identification papers and to report to government officials whenever they move．
Countries set up customs posts at their borders．Foreign travellers must go through a customs inspection before they are allowed to travel in the country．Usually travellers  have to carry special papers such as passports and visas(簽證)．Some countries even limit the number of visitors to their country each year．Others allow tourists to visit only certain areas of the country，or they may require that travellers be with an official guide at all times during their stay．
Many of those barriers to travel also act as barriers to communication．When two governments disagree with each other on important matters，they usually do not want their citizens to exchange news or ideas freely．Countries often try to keep military or lndustrial information secret．
Today，people have the ability to travel，to communicate，and to transport goods more quickly and easily than ever before．Natural barriers that were difficult or dangerous to cross a hundred years ago can now be crossed easily．The barriers that people themselves make are not so easy to overcome．But in spite of all the different kinds of barriers，people continue to enjoy travel and the exchange of goods and ideas.
小題1:Choose the best title for the passage．
A．Progress of Human Society
B．Restrictions on Transportation
C．Functions of Communication
D．Barriers Made by People
小題2:The author uses the examples in the second paragraph to tell people that_______.
A．travellers have to carry special papers such as visas
B．customs posts are necessary at the borders of the countries

D．people have not been permitted to travel freely for various reasons
小題3:Why do some governments limit the freedom of communication?Because they______.
A．intend to keep their national secrets unknown to others
B．think such freedom will lead to wars
C．often disagree with each other on important matters
D．want to show their authority over communication
小題4:We may learn from the passage that_______.
A．people do not care about the removal of barriers between countries
B．people can not remove the obstacles made by themselves
C．man-made barriers are sometimes harder to overcome than natural ones

In 1956 Phoenix, Arizona, was a city with boundless blue skies.

Texting in the street—your funeral
Millions of people are putting their lives at risk by texting their friends as they walk along busy streets, reported the Daily Mail.
One in ten  41  users has already been  42  because they are so lost in their phones that they fail to  43  lamp-posts or cars, according to Joanna Lumdsen of Aston University.
To test the danger of texting while  44  , Lumdsen did an experiment in which volunteers followed a  45  path while trying to  46  in a message on the phone.
Around them, screens  47  up instructions to avoid stepping on  48  colors on the floor.
She found that people missed one in five  49  because they were so busy with their phones.
“In  50  life this means that one in five lamp-posts or moving cars is  51
to go unnoticed by people  52  and walking,” she said.
Her research is looking for ways cell phone makers could improve the  53
of phones to make texting on the move  54  . That could  55  easier-to-use voice operated phones, or phones that respond to gestures.
“The safest thing is  56  people not to text while they walk along,” she said. “ 57  a lot of people in business are  58  to carry a mobile phone and be in  59  24 hours a day, seven days a week. They are under pressure to reply to calls  60  , and to respond to text messages and emails straight away.

The legal age for drinking alcohol in the Unite States is twenty-one. Underage drinking is a crime but also a common part of college social life. This week in our Foreign Student Series, we look at alcohol rules at American colleges and universities. These rules differ from school to school, but many schools have been moving to strengthen their rules.
The United States has more than 17,000,000 students in higher education. Each year, 1700 of them die from alcohol-related road crashes and other injuries. 600,000 more are injured while under the influence of alcohol. And almost 700,000 are attacked by another drunken.
One behavior that college officials are trying to prevent is too much drink. Some researchers have found that students who think binge drinking(狂飲) is normal often think extremely how much other students really drink. A person can die of alcohol poisoning. At Oklahoma University, a nineteen-year-old student died from drinking heavily at a party in 2005.
Now alcohol is banned from all sorority houses(聯(lián)誼會(huì)會(huì)館) and university housing. Student organizations can serve alcohol at events but only on Friday and Saturday nights. Other new requirements include an alcohol education program that first-year students take online.
The rules govern behavior on campus(大學(xué)校園)and off. With a first violation(違犯)，students pay seventy-five dollars and their parents are told. They must also take an alcohol education class. For a second “strike”, they have to pay one hundred fifty dollars. A third strike means that they have to be suspended school for at least one semester.
Since 2005,363 students have had a first strike. 30 have had a second strike-and only one hasn’t allowed to go to school for one semester. The president at Oklahoma tells us the aim is not just to punish but to change the behavior and culture at the university.
小題1:The first paragraph mainly tells us that            .
A．the legal age at the lowest for drinking alcohol is 21
B．many colleges consider drinking alcohol to be a crime
C．drinking alcohol is a necessary and popular campus culture
D．American colleges and universities have their own alcohol rules
小題2:Every year the number of the students who die or are injured because of alcohol in the USA adds up to about        .
A．17,000,000B．1,301,700C．601,700D．1300,000
小題3:If a student has a third strike, he or she should            .
A．have to stop going to school for a time.
B．be removed to another school
C．be locked at home for a period.
D．be forced to leave school forever.
小題4:Which of the following is TRUE?
A．College students are not allowed to drink alcohol at any time.
B．If students take an alcohol program online, they can drink alcohol.
C．Students having a first strike only receive punishment of fine.
D．Students with a second strike pay twice as much as students with a first strike.
小題5:From the last paragraph we can infer that         .
A．a(chǎn)lcohol rules have no effect on college students
B．drinking alcohol remains a serious problem
C．a(chǎn)lcohol rules aim to change the behavior and culture at the university
D．the number of students drinking alcohol is dropping in one way

On a small farm in Mexico, there are no schools. A bus is the school! The driver of the bus is the teacher! It is a school bus, but it doesn't take children to school.

Every time the bus comes, the farmers come running to it, shouting and laughing. They warmly welcome the school bus!

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Hawaii has planned to be the first U.S. state to roll out（正式推出）electric car stations statewide --- a move towards weaning the islands off oil.
Hawaii, which is far away from the U.S. mainland, imports foreign oil for almost 90 percent of its energy needs. One–third of that oil is used to power cars and buses on island streets. This move will help Hawaii meet its goal of reducing fossil fuel use by 70 percent by 2030.
Better Place, a Palo Alto, California-based company, will build the car recharging stations and provide recharged batteries for electric cars. The company will purchase renewable energy --- such as wind power --- from Hawaiian Electric Co.
Better Place picked Hawaii for the first statewide rollout in part because the islands are a contained environment, with few vehicles (車輛) coming in and out. Better Place would need to build a bigger network across several states to serve some mainland markets. Hawaii also has rich renewable energy resources, including wind, solar and wave power. This is important because Better Place won’t use oil. Better Place plans to recharge its batteries at night with power from Hawaii’s wind farms. That power normally goes unused because of Hawaii’s low nighttime energy needs.
Hawaii is an ideal place to show off Better Place technology because the state welcomes over five million tourists each year from the U.S. mainland, Japan, Canada and the rest of the world. “If we can get them into electric cars when they rent, we do two great things,” Shai Agassi, Better Place’s founder and chief executive officer, said. “One, we avoid emissions （排放物）; two, we use the opportunity to educate them, to teach them in Hawaii how it needs to be done in the rest of the world.”
However, Hawaii doesn’t expect to spend any money to improve the network. Maybe it needs to offer tax breaks or other ways to encourage people to buy electric vehicles when they are first offered.
小題1:
The underlined part “weaning the islands off oil” (in Para 1) probably means _________.
A．exploring the islands for oil
B．stopping Hawaii’s dependence on oil gradually
C．importing more oil from other islands
D．increasing the amount of oil used there
小題2:
Why is Hawaii chosen to be the first state where car recharging stations will be built statewide? _________
①There are few cars in Hawaii.
②Hawaii can provide environmentally friendly energy.
③Plenty of oil has been found in Hawaii.
④Hawaii is separated from the mainland with few vehicles coming in and out.
A．①, ③B．②, ③C．②, ④D．①, ④
小題3:
When visitors to Hawaii rent electric cars, they _________.
A．will be taught it is necessary to do as Hawaiians do to protect the earth
B．will be offered tax breaks
C．need to be told what should be done before travelling
D．should be given the chance to try two things before driving
小題4:
We can infer from the passage that _________.
A．Better Place is a company producing electric cars
B．people are not encouraged to buy electric cars
C．electric cars will be recharged with power from renewable resources
D．Hawaii now has reduced the use oil by 90 percent
