题目内容

As a middle school student, I want to buy an iPod that can help me improve my spoken English. I don’t want my parents to buy it for me, so I have to look for a job. One day I stopped at the zoo. The zoo director said he had an interesting job. Their gorilla (大猩猩) was ill and sent to the animal hospital. But the visitors would be disappointed because they couldn’t see the gorilla. So my job was wearing a gorilla suit sitting in the cage for 4 hours at a time. It sounded good to me, so I told him I would.

The next day I went to the zoo, put on the gorilla suit and climbed into the cage. Soon some children walked to see me. I held the rope and swang (摇摆) across the cage. The children seemed to be very happy to see it.

In the next cage there was a lion and he was becoming angry at my actions and began to shake his cage. Suddenly I dropped right into the lion’s cage! I was afraid and shouted, “Help me, help me! I’m not who you think I am!”

Many people do not like to stay at home on holidays. They want to go out to see something different or do something exciting. So people from the countryside come to the city and people from the city go to the countryside for holidays. During the holidays, trains, buses and planes are all very busy. It is a little hard to buy train tickets(票), bus tickets or air tickets. Many people take cars for traveling.

Last May Day my family went to the countryside by car for our holiday. There was too much traffic(交通) on the road, so we had to move very slowly. It took us about an hour to get out of the town. After some time, we came to a farm. It was clean and beautiful. The animals were very cute. We thought it was a nice place for a picnic(野餐), so we stopped and took the food, fruit and drinks out of the car. We sat down under a big green tree. Suddenly a strong wind blew and soon it started to rain. We had to run back to our car and have our picnic in the car. Then we drove back home. What a bad trip!

With China’s large population and increasing urban（城市的）space, the cost of electricity is rising in cities. So the Chinese government is preparing to send the world’s first artificial（人造的）moon to space.

The man-made moon is, in fact, a satellite. It carries a huge space mirror so that it can throw back sunlight to the Earth. The moon will fly about 500 kilometres above Chengdu, a south-western city of China, and work like the Moon at night. Since it runs much closer to the Earth than the Moon, it’s much brighter and there will be no need to use street lights in the city. According to scientists, Chengdu can save around 174 million dollars in electricity if the man-made moon brightens 50 square kilometres of the city.

For now, the artificial moon is still going through testing. Although it has many advantages, quite a lot of people think that creating more artificial light is harmful to the environment, as light pollution is a growing problem in our modern world. Actually, there is no need to worry. Chinese scientists say the mirror on the moon can be controlled, so they can decide its direction, brightness and so on. They can even turn it off when needed. Moreover, when the man-made moon works, people will see only a bright star above. It won’t be a giant moon as imagined.

Several countries, including China, are all looking to use energy from space, and artificial moons have been under discussion for some time. In 1999, Russia tried sending a space mirror into space, but it failed. And later the project was cancelled, according to the New York Times. And now, it seems that space light has come closer.

1.China will send the man-made moon to space to __________.

A.study the Moon B.explore space C.save energy D.protect the Earth

2.What is the second paragraph mainly talking about?

A.How the man-made moon works. B.How the man-made moon was created.

C.How scientists control the man-made moon. D.How the man-made moon throws back sunlight.

3.What can we learn about the man-made moon from the passage?

A.It looks huge from the Earth. B.Three will be sent to space in 2020.

C.It is designed to work at night only. D.China is the first country to send it to space.

4.In which column（专栏）of a newspaper can we probably find the passage?

A.NATURE. B.ENVIRONMENT. C.SOCIETY. D.SCIENCE.
