Keeping a diary in English is one of the effective ways to improve our English1.(write) ability.

2.(compare) with other forms of writing, it is shorter and takes3.(little) time. It can help us to develop the habit of 4.(think) in English. If we persist in this practice, 5.(gradual) we’ll learn how to express ourselves in English. In keeping a diary in English, we certainly run up against many6.(difficult). In the first place, 7.often happens that we have trouble finding proper words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there are many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is extremely hard for us 8.(put) them into English properly.

As far as I am concerned, my suggestion is that we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever something beats us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then look it up in our dictionary. We can also turn to our English teacher9.help, if necessary. In short, I believe that it is of great use to keep a diary in English for10.development of our writing skills.

With a growing number of people in San Francisco choosing not to own a car, German carmaking company BMW has decided to branch out into car-sharing services with 70 cars spread around the city, first in 14 locations, with a further 100 being added gradually.

“This is not an A-to-A service — it is A-to-B,” says Richard Steinberg, chief executive of the DriveNow scheme (方案), pointing out that members can pick up a car downtown for the half-hour drive to the airport for only $12, compared with about $40-50 for a taxi.

Whether that is possible in real life depends on traffic, of course. A midmorning drive from Union Square down Highway 101 to the airport takes just 22 minutes; however, driving back during the rush hour takes twice as long.

Most of the cars that are stuck in San Francisco's traffic jams (交通阻塞) are giving off all sorts of harmful gas. But not DriveNow's BMW ActiveE cars.

“All the cars in San Francisco are electric,” Mr Steinberg says.

In San Francisco, handing back the car to DriveNow is easy — just pick one of its drop-off points, park and walk away. There are no forms to fill in, no time-consuming (耗时的) rules.

Several other carmakers and other players within the motor industry are experimenting with similar schemes, for example Daimler's Car2go scheme, which is operated in many cities around the world.

“We picture a future where car-sharing members outnumber car owners in big cities around the world,” says Car2go spokesman Andreas Leo.

Franck Leveque, from company Frost & Sullivan, agrees.

“Car sharing is growing at a pace we have not seen before,” he says. “By 2020 we believe there will be 15 million members of car-sharing schemes in Europe alone, with 140,000 vehicles in operation.”

1.What does the underlined part “branch out into” probably mean?

A. Start offering. B. Stop improving.

C. Make use of. D. Take control of.

2.The DriveNow scheme _____.

A. works better in rush-hour traffic

B. makes city driving less dangerous

C. encourages people to buy a cheap car

D. allows drivers to pay money to use a car

3.What's special about BMW ActiveE cars?

A. They drive much faster than other cars.

B. They never get stuck in heavy traffic.

C. They don't harm the environment.

D. They need less gas to run.

4.What does Franck think of the future of car sharing?

A. Worrying. B. Hopeful.

C. Uncertain. D. Disappointing.

About 1966 or so, a NASA (美国航空航天局) team doing work for the Apollo moon mission (任务) took the astronauts near Tuba City. There the landscape of the Navajo Reservation (保留地) looks very much like the lunar surface. Among all the trucks and large cars were two large figures that were dressed in full lunar space suits.

Nearby a Navajo shepherd (牧羊人) and his son were watching the strange creatures walk about, occasionally being watched over by other NASA workers. The two Navajo people were noticed and approached by the NASA people. Since the shepherd and his son did not know English, they asked the NASA people who the strange creatures were. The NASA people told them that they were just men that were getting ready to go to the moon. The shepherd became very excited and asked if he could send a message to the moon with the astronauts.

The NASA officials thought this was a great idea so they provided a tape recorder. After the man gave them his message, they asked his son to translate. His son would not.

Later, they tried a few more people on the reservation to translate and every person they asked would chuckle (偷偷地笑) and then refuse to translate. Finally, with cash in hand someone translated the message,

“Watch out for these guys, they have come to take your land!”

Science, as we think, was born when the Greek(希腊) philosopher ( 哲学家 ) Thales ( about 640-546 B.C.) asked a difficult question: What makes up our universe?

No one had a ready answer, so Thales went on studying the earth around him, the sky and the stars. He saw so much water on earth and so much water falling from the sky as rain that he decided water must be the basic substance ( 物质 ) of the universe.

Other Greek thinkers became interested in this question. They suggested other answers. One said that because air lies around the earth, it must be air that makes up all things. Another said that fire, appearing in different forms, was the building block of the universe.

The Greek philosophers were feeling their way towards the ideas on which chemistry is based. Centuries later, scientists proved that the universe is made up of certain basic substances. But the list is much more complicated than the Greeks realized. We now know of 103 basic substances which we call “ elements ( 元素 )”.

1.Thales, the famous Greek philosopher, died when he was about _______________.

A. 94 years old B. 106years old

C. 40 years old D. 46 years old

2.The meaning of the underlined word “ complicated” in the last paragraph is “ ____________”.

A. not difficult B. not simple

C. not famous D. not different

3.On the whole, the passage tells about ______________.

A. early tries to understand the universe B. the famous Greek thinkers

C. water falling from the sky D. air lying all around the earth

4.After reading the passage, we can be sure that________________.

A. nothing ever changes in the universe

B. Thales decided that the basic substance of the universe was air

C. the universe is made up of four different substances

D. the early Greek thinkers did much valuable work for the progress of science
