Part 1 Skimming and Scanning (True/False) (Each item: 2)

Directions:Read the following passage. Then decide whether the following statements are True or False.

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog. Time limitation: 4 minutes and 12 seconds

What kind of car will we be driving in 2010? They would be rather different from the type we know today, with the next twenty years bringing greater change than the past fifty. The people who will be designing the models of tomorrow believe that environmental problems may well accelerate (加速) the pace of automotive design. Today they are students on the transport design course at London's Royal college of Art.

Their vision (相象中的画面) is of a machine with three wheels instead of four, electrically powered, environmentally clean, and able to drive itself along "intelligent" roads equipped with built-in power supplies. Future cars will pick up their fuel during long journeys from a power source built into the road, or store it in small quantities for travel in the city.

Instead of today's seating arrangements-two in front, two or three behind, all facing forward-the 2010 car will have a versatile (有许多用途的) interior with adults and children in a family circle.

This view of the future car is based on a much more sophisticated (复杂的) road system, with strips built into motorways to supply power to vehicles passing along them. Cars will not need drivers, because computers will provide safe driving control and route finding. All the driver will have to do is say where to go and the computer will do the rest. It will become impossible for cars to crash (撞) into one another. The technology already exists for the car to become a true automobile.

1. Those who will design the models of tomorrow believe that environmental problems will quicken change in cars. T F

2. The car designers are most likely to believe that we will always have an imperfect world. T F

Part 2 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice)

(Each item: 2)

Directions:Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.

There were very few places in the world that Jules Verne, the writer, did not visit. He went round the world a hundred times or more. Once he did it in eighty days, unheard of in the nineteenth century. He voyaged 6,000 miles under the sea, went around the moon, explored the center of the earth, and chatted with natives in Australia.

Jules Verne, the man, was a stay-at-home person. He was more likely to be tired from writing than from traveling. He did make a few visits to Europe and North America. And he made one 6-week tour of New York State. But that was all. He spent less than one of his 77 years traveling. Yet he was the world's most outstanding tourist. His books are crowded with hunting and fishing trips. Jules actually went hunting only once. Then he raised his gun and shot off the game officer's hat!

He wasn't a scientist himself, but he encouraged many people to become scientists. Long before radio was invented, he had TV working in his books. His name for it was different, though. He had flying machines 50 years before the Wright brothers flew their first plane at Kitty Hawk. In fact, there were few wonders of the 20th century that this man of the 19th century did not see coming. In his stories you can read about air conditioning, tall buildings, advanced weapons, tanks, boats that can travel under the water, and airplanes.

6. What was Jules Verne? A. A scientist. B. An inventor. C. A writer.

D. A great traveler.

7. What was unknown in the 19th century? A. Going under the sea.

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the same passage or dialog.

Once upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.

One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up.

As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the youn …… 此处隐藏：18343字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
