题型:不详难度:来源:
Today’s drivers may feel shocked by the high price of petrol when they drive to the gas station. However, the car industry has the technology to solve the problem. It’s the hybrid car(混合动力汽车).
What is a hybrid car? Any car that uses two or more sources of power is a hybrid car. Most hybrid cars on the road right now are petrol-electric hybrids. The petrol-electric hybrid car is just what it sounds like — a cross between a petrol-powered car and an electric car.
A gas-powered car has a fuel tank(油箱), which supplies petrol to the engine. An electric car, on the other hand, has a set of batteries that provides electricity for the car.
To be useful to you or me, a car should be able to run at least 300 miles (483 km) before refueling, be capable of(能够) being refueled quickly and easily and fast enough to keep up with the other traffic on the road.
A petrol car meets these requirements(要求)but produces a large amount of pollution. An electric car, however, produces almost no pollution, but can only go 50 to 100 miles (80 to 161 km) between recharging(充电). And the problem has been that the electric car is very slow and inconvenient to recharge.
A petrol-electric car combines the advantages of the two power sources into one system that uses both gas power and electric power. Some experts believe that the hybrid car is “the next generation of smart cars”. A hybrid car can go up to 50% further than a traditional car can on the same amount of gas! It saves driver’s money on gas and cuts air pollution!
小题1:What do the underlined words “the problem” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.The price of petrol goes up and down.B.The gas-powered car is sold at a high price.
C.The gas-powered car causes air pollution.D.The price of petrol keeps going up.
小题2:How many sources of power do most hybrid cars use?
A.Two.B.Three.C.Four.D.It depends.
小题3:The author thinks that electric cars _____.
A.are smart vehiclesB.are popular vehicleC.are not practicalD.are not slow
小题4:Some experts believe that the hybrid car will have a large market in future because _____.
A.it is just powered by renewable energyB.it saves money and is eco-friendly
C.it goes further than a traditional carD.it is safe, cheap and produces no air pollution

     Each new school year brings fresh reminders of what educators call the summer learning gap.Some call it the summer learning setback Put simply, it means the longer kids are out of school,the more they forget.The only thing they might gain is weight.
Most American schools follow a tradltional nine-month calendar with winter and spring breaks and about ten weeks of summer vacation.Some schools follow a year-round calendar. They hold classes ror about eight weeks at a time,with a few weeks off in between.The National Association for Year-Round Education says there were fewer than 3,000 such schools at last count.They were spread among forty-six of the tifty states.
But many experts point out that the number of class days in a year-round school is generally the same as in a traditional school.Brenda McLaugblin is research director at the National Center for Summer Learning at Johns Hopkins University.She says studies of year-round schooling have not found strong learning gains.Lead researcher Paul von Hippel said,“Year-round schools don’t really solve the problem of the summer learning setback.They simply spread it out across the year.”
Across the country, research shows that students from poor families fall farther behind over the summler than other students.Experts say this can be prevented.They note that many schools and local governments offer programs that can help.
But calling them“summer school”could be a problem.The director of the summer learning center at Johns Hopkins, Ron Fairchild, said research with groups of different parents in Chicago and Baltimore found that almost all strongly disliked the term“summer school”.In American culture,the idea of summer vacation is connected to beliefs about freedom and the joys of childhood.The parents welcomed other terms like“summer camp。”“extra time”and“hands-on learning.”

Since the 1950s, most of the stars of pop music have come from Britain and America. Howver, in the last ten years, when many different kinds of music have established themselves on the pop scene, more and more stars have come from other countries.
Pop music changes all the time and new stars appear and become famous. For a musician to stay popular and still produced good, original music over a long period of time, is a sign of true star.
Most stars start their careers in a simple way---- playing in unknown night clubs or dance-hall where people want to dance to the music, not listen to it. They may have continued doing this for many years untill they get a “break”---- a chance to perform in a well –known place or get a recording contract. To become a star is the aim of every singer or musician and the dream of many a pop-crazy teenager.
However a group or star makes it to the top, they can be sure that their lives will change once they are successful. Ordinary teenagers living at home with their parents may suddenly find themselves rich enough to buy their own houses. An established superstar may be able to buy several.
Despite the large amount of money that are earned, life at the top is not easy for many stars.. The pop scene is hard work and many stars need to spend a lot of time away from home. For a lot of them, this means they have no home life and their personal relationships suffer. Despite great public success, life at the top can be very lonely.
