阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。     It began with one red paper clip (回形针) and ended with a house. Kyle MacDonald, a 26-year-old
Canadian, got a three-bedroomed house through 14 trades (交换) that started with a single red paper clip.
     Encouraged by Kyle"s successful experience, now more and more young people around the world
are starting their own trading activities. They set up websites where people can trade things they do not
usually use with other people. A website called Peerflix allows people to trade their used DVDs. These
traders usually prefer face-to-face tracing, which means they don"t have to worry about who is going to
pay for the delivery (递送).
     Last year, a young girl in Beijing decided to follow the example of Kyle. She started with a paper clip
and hoped to get a house in the end. After several trades she now has a piano which is worth more than
10,000 yuan. But she may still have a long way to go.
     You may be puzzled about why people are doing this. In fact, everyone in the trade activities gets things
that are useful to them. Just as Kyle said, "What"s more important to a man dying of thirst in the desert-one
million dollars or a glass of water?" Kyle"s words probably show why these trades are popular among young
people. 1. What did Kyle get in the end through 14 trades?
    __________________________________________________________
2. Where can people trade things they do not usually use?
    __________________________________________________________
3. Why do these traders usually prefer face-to-face trading?
    __________________________________________________________
4. How can the Chinese girl"s dream come true?
    __________________________________________________________
5. Why are the trade activities popular among young people?
    __________________________________________________________

答案

1. A three-bedroomed house./A house.
2. At websites./On the Internet./On the web./On line.
3. Because they don"t have to worry about who is going to pay for the delivery.
4. By trading./Through trades./She can trade again and again./She can go on trading.
5. Because the traders can get things that are useful to them. /Because the traders can
get useful things to them.

阅读理解。 Singapore, July 12------Many people enjoy chewing gum, but in 1992 Singapore decided to make it against
the law. The government said that people were not careful about throwing away used gum. Instead, they
dropped it on sidewalks and on the street where it made a big mess. Chewing gum also got stuck (粘贴) in
the doors of the underground trains so that the doors didn"t close properly. This meant the trains did not run

Nowadays more and more people care about the exploitation (开采) of the natural resources, such as oil. Though there"re many kinds of resources, with the fast increase of population and the appearance of many more factories, the more we use, the fewer there will be left for the future, Oil is getting less and less year after year. It"s said that oil can last for only 50 years. Natural gas perhaps will last about 38 years. Oil can be used in many ways and it"s difficult to imagine what the modern world will be like without oil. But oil isn"t easy to find and get out of the earth. Men must study the rocks. When they think the rocks in a certain place may have oil, a metal tower is built, A machine in the tower cuts a hole down into the ground. At the same time, a steel pipe is pushed down to stop the sides from falling in and to keep out water. At last if the men are right, usually the oil rushes up the sides with great force by the pressure of the gas in the top of the rock, and it rushes high into the air. If the oil catches a light, there will be a terrible fire. So a kind of cover is fixed on the top of the pipe, and the oil can run out through taps. If we make a well near the middle of the oil field, we can also get gas. Such gas is sent through pipes to towns far away and used in houses and factories like coal gas. Today oil is under pressure as never before. The price of oil keeps rising all the time. In many countries, the governments encourage people to save oil as much as possible.
