    首先请阅读下列汽车广告的信息:

A

    Renault Menage: This luxury car provides a comfortable driving experience and is packed full of extras (GPS, electric seats, automatic park brake etc). But its powerful engine means you had better be prepared for a big fuel bill each week.

    Price: $ 85,000

B

   Hyundai i20: Ideal for short journeys but lacks the power and comfort needed to make long-distance driving enjoyable. Still, at this price you can't complain and you'll be smiling when you have to fill up the tank too.

    Price: $8,000

C

   Fiat 500: Although expensive, it will soon pay for itself with the money you save on petrol. It has the most efficient and cleanest petrol-powered engine currently available. Its size, easy handling and luxury interior make it ideal for city driving.

Price: $ 35, 999

D

    Land Rover Discovery: With seating for 7, this car is suitable for all driving conditions. It has the control needed for inner city driving and the power required for rough roads and carrying heavy loads. But it's among the least fuel efficient vehicles in its class.

   Price: $ 51, 999

E

   GM Transit: It packs an impressive amount of room inside. It steers nicely, is fuel efficient and has a commanding driving position. But the lack of rear side windows and a noisy interior limit its appeal as a people mover.

    Price: $ 22,499

F

    Ford Wagon: With room for 12 passengers, it combines the toughness and power needed for long-distance journeys with all the comforts that will keep passengers satisfied. Its optional luggage roof racks also mean nothing will ever have to be left behind.

    Price: $42,000

2. James is starting a new delivery job and needs a vehicle big enough to store the packages that he will pick up each morning and deliver throughout the day. It should be reliable, affordable and economical to run on his city route.

3.Vaneasa is a lawyer who lives and works in the city. She currently has a large car that uses a lot of fuel. She thinks it's too polluting so wants a car that's environmentally friendly but still comfortable to drive.

5.Jill owns a tour guide company and wants a new vehicle that can be used to take travellers to see different sight and attractions. A typical tour group is made up of about 10 people so it must be big enough to take all of them plus their luggage.

 

There are 70,000 pubs in England and Wales have several thousand more in Scotland.

Every country has its drinking shop, but none has an institution quite like the British pub. The most important feature of a good pub (which modern buildings hardly ever achieve) is a feeling of something private. It must have nooks and crannies, corners and snugs, where conversations and assignations can take place without the whole world listening in.

Most pubs have at least two separate bars. The “public bar” which is for ordinary and women is the basic drinking shop. The “lounge bar” (or saloon bar) which is for traveling salesmen and “ladies” probably has a carpet on the floor and rather more comfortable decoration. There may be a difference of a few pence in the drink prices, although all pubs are required by law to put their price lists easily seen on display.

Pubs have been changing over the past few decades. More and more of them sell good, inexpensive food and are competing strongly with restaurants. Tea and coffee are often on offer and children are being made more welcome. The law says that no one under 14 may enter a pub, and between 14 and 18 they must be accompanied by an adult and may not buy or consume alcoholic drink. In reality some pubs, especially in country districts, welcome whole families. Some set aside special rooms for children and where there are gardens they are almost always welcome.

The most basic change, however, came about in the 1938 licensing laws which allowed pubs in England and Wales to open not just at lunch time and in the evening, but all day, from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. (Scottish laws already permitted all day opening.)

1. Which of the following can be the best title?

   A. Pubs’ history                        B. Pubs in Britain

C. Changes of pubs                          D. Features of a good pub

2. According to the British people, what kind of pub is a good one?

    A. The one with all day opening time.

    B. The one with good and inexpensive food.

    C. The one with all kinds of people enjoying themselves.

    D. The one with different parts where people can have a private conversation.

3.In paragraph 4, we can learn that                        .

    A. pubs allow people above 14 to enter alone

    B. pubs never allow people under 18 to enter

    C. pubs don’t sell more expensive food than restaurants

    D. pubs often sell alcoholic drinks as well as tea and coffee

4.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

    A. The law requires all the pubs have slightly different prices of drinks.

    B. Ordinary people and women are often having fun in the “public pub”.

    C. In some country pubs, children accompanied by their parents are always welcome.

    D. Scottish laws allow pubs to open not just at lunch time and in the evening, but all day.

 

A Battery’s Nightmare

Portable electronics that can be carried about easily are only as good as their batteries (电池) and, let’s face it, batteries aren’t very good, especially when compared with, say, petrol, which packs 100 times a battery’s energy into an equal space. That’s why a large group of mechanical engineers (centered at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but with partners at other universities and companies) are hard at work in an effort to replace batteries with a tiny engine that runs on fuel. Imagine a battery-free life! When the fuel runs out in your mobile phone, you just fill up and go.

The engine---about the size of a ten-cent coin---starts with a combustion chamber (燃烧室) that burns hydrogen. Its tiny parts are etched (蚀刻) onto silicon wafers (硅片) in the same manner that computer parts are etched onto integrated circuits (集成电路). The first engine is made up of five wafers. And since these wafers could be produced in much the same way as computer chips, they could probably be produced quite cheaply.

But the devil in all this nice detail is efficiency. Tiny engine parts don’t always behave like the bigger parts of the first engine. Something between the parts can slow down the works, according to Columbia University Professor LucFrechette, one of the engine’s designers. Extreme heat from the combustion chamber is also a problem, often leaking to other parts of the engine.

The scientists’ goal is to create an engine that will operate 10 times better than batteries operate. Frechette says that a complete system, with all parts in place and working, will be set up in the next couple of years, but commercial models aren’t likely until at least the end of the next ten years.

1.According to the passage, the title suggests that _______ .

A. batteries should be greatly improved

B. petrol will be used instead of batteries

C. the time of batteries will be gone forever

D. pollution problems caused by batteries must be solved

2.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “devil” in paragraph 3?

A. Problem     B. Advantage     C. Invention     D. Technique

3.What can we infer from the passage?

A. The new invention doesn’t need any fuel.

B. The new engine has been produced in large quantities.

C. The new invention is much cheaper than the battery.

D. The new engine needs to be improved before it’s on sale.
