阅读下面的短文,然后根据短文内容,在每小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。

  What do you do if you’re in trouble on a lonely island? Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world.Your best chance of doing this is to draw the attention of a passing plane.

  Body signals

  Pilots(people who drive planes)in different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training.When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means “yes”.When you point downwards and swing(摆动)your arm from side to side, it means “no”.If you want the pilot to know that it's safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend(弯曲)your knees.If you want to say that it's not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side.

  Smoke signals

  The smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it's a good way to draw attention.If the weather is dry, it isn't hard to start a fire.Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control.Make sure if you light(点燃)a fire, it can't be spread(扩散).If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily.Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.

  Ground-to-air signals

  It's a good idea to build some signals, too.Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols.If you can't find any wood, use earth.Some useful symbols are:

  F:“I need food and water.”Ⅱ:“I need medicine.”Ⅰ:“I am badly hurt.” X:“I am unable to move from here.”

  Pilots’ replies

  If the pilot lowers the plane's wings from side to side, this means “message received and understood”.(At night, the pilot makes plane's lights green).If the pilot flies the plane in a clockwise circle, he means “message received but not understood”.(At night, the pilot makes the plane's lights red.)

  However, there is no signal which means “message not received”.Why not?

(1)

Which picture means “it's not safe to land? ”

[  ]

A.

B.

C.

D.

(2)

What can we learn from the passage?

[  ]

A.

Swinging your arm from side to side means “yes”.

B.

If the ground is dark, light smoke can't be seen.

C.

If you need some medicine, make a symbol “Ⅱ”.

D.

The pilots make replies a blue light at night.

(3)

What is the passage mainly about?

[  ]

A.

The explanation of building signals on a lonely island.

B.

The importance of making signals on a lonely island.

C.

Ways of sending out signals on a lonely island.

D.

Ways of receiving signals from a lonely island.

  When the Audet family turns on the lights at Blue Farm, they are using electricity that comes from cows-cow manure(粪肥), to be specific.

  Cows produce a lot of wastes.One cow can create 30 gallons of wastes each day.Now imagine the output of over 1, 000 cows at Blue Farm.That’s really a big amount.

  When farmers clean their barns, they put the wastes in a big heap, and spread some of them on their fields for fertilizer(肥料).But now places like Blue Spruce Farm have a new way of using cow wastes.They use them to produce electricity.

  Here’s how it works:A big machine moves back and forth cleaning the barn floor.“The cows aren’t bothered,” says Marie Audet.“They are animals of habit; they get used to it, and just lift one foot and then another to let it go by.”

  The machine pushes the manure into a big 600-gallon tank like a small swimming pool.The tank is called a digester(化粪池)because what happens there is just like what happens inside a cow:Bacteria(细菌)get to work and continue to digest the manure.

  Methane gas(甲烷、沼气)in the atmosphere is known as a “greenhouse” gas because it keeps heat just like a greenhouse does, causing our planet to warm up.That’s an environmental concern.But the digester has a good result.Its gas is kept and used to power electric generators(发电机).

  At Blue Farm, the generators make enough electricity to power 400 homes.The Audet family sells the extra electricity they can’t use themselves.

(1)

[  ]

A.

The power of moving water.

B.

The heat of burning coal.

Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or print?
Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, and has been made from silk, cotton, bamboo, and, since the 19th century, from wood. People learned to write words on paper to make a book. But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result, they were expensive and rare. And because there weren’t many hooks, few people learned to read.
Then printing was invented in China. When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply. As a result, more people learned to read. After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly.
Today information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books, and information can be kept on CD-ROMs or machines such as MP3 players.
Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines can already be read online. So will books be replaced by computers one day? No, I don’t think the Yao Ming poster on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a computer two metres high!
小题1:What does the writer do before he goes to sleep’?
A.He reads books.B.He reads newspapers
C.He looks through magazinesD.He looks at the posters on the wall.
小题2:When was paper first created?
A.About 2.000 years ago.B.In the 19th century.
C.About 1.000 years ago.D.In the 11th century.
小题3:Why were books expensive and rare before the invention of printing?
A. People could not read.
B. People could not write words on paper.
C. People could not find silk, cotton or bamboo.
D People could only produce books one at a time by hand
小题4:What happened after books became cheaper?
A.People didn’t want to buy books.
B.Printing was invented in China.
C.Knowledge and ideas spread quickly.
D.The Internet was introduced to people soon
小题5:What is the writer’s opinion about books and computers’?

B.Books won’t be replaced by computers.
C.People prefer to find information in books.
D.Computers have already replaced books.
