What might the future be like? Here are some predictions(预言).
Returning home during the Spring Festival is difficult for many Chinese people. More than 2 billion people travel at the same time, making buying travel tickets and the journey difficult. But 28 years later, Spring Festival travel may not be a problem at all. China plans to build more railways and a fast transportation network that will serve 90% of the population by 2020. And because most of China will be cities, people will not have to go to other places to find a job, so it will no longer be a problem.
Oil is running out faster than expected. But scientists have found something else for oil as fuel(燃料). Coal, natural gas, sun power, nuclear power(核能) and even water can take the place of oil as energy.
Schools will go electronic. Computers will be important and popular among the students. Everything will be in the computer and students will not need to bring books to school.

Oil is so important that it is sometimes called “black gold”. Almost half of our energy comes from oil. We use it to run our cars and factories and to heat our homes, offices and schools. Many everyday things are made from oil. Your shirt may have oil in the material. The soap you wash your hands with might also be made from oil. Your favorite plastic toy is made from oil.     
Oil is hard to find, because it is trapped deep under the earth. Once the only way people knew there was oil someplace if it leaked(渗漏)out of the ground. Today, however, we have many ways of finding oil. One tool measures(测量)the pull of gravity. Places where gravity is weaker are more likely to have oil. Another tool is sound waves(声波). Sound waves travel through different kinds of rocks at different speeds. We can use them to find the rocks that have oil in them.     
We need a lot of oil, and we are using up the oil wells we know about. Soon we must find new ways of looking for this “black gold”.
小题1:Which of the following isn’t the way to help find oil?
A.Sound waves travel through different kinds of rocks at different speeds.
B.People measure the pull of gravity to know if there is oil.
C.Sound waves tell us where the oil has leaked out of the ground.
D.People know there is oil if it leaks out of the ground.
小题2:Which of the following does the passage lead you to believe?
A.Oil was firstly found by measuring gravity.
B.Many things are made from oil.
C.We will never run out of oil.
D.Our lives would not be different if we didn’t have oil.
小题3:The main idea of the whole story is that ________________.
A.many things are made from oil
B.we must find new ways of looking for oil
C.people spend a lot of time looking for oil
D.oil is important for us but hard to find

If you look at the sky one night and see something moving and shining that you have never seen before, it might be a comet (彗星).
  A comet sometimes looks like a star. Like a planet, a comet has no light of its own. It shines from the sunlight it reflects (反射). Like the earth, a comet goes round the sun, but on a much longer path (轨道) than the earth travels.
If a comet isn’t a star, what is it then?
    Some scientists think that a large part of a comet is water frozen into pieces of ice and mixed with iron and rock dust and perhaps a few big pieces of rock. When sunshine melts (融化) the ice in the comet, great clouds of gas go trailing after it. These clouds, together with the dust, form a long tail.Many people perhaps have seen a comet. However no one knows how many comets there are. There may be millions of comets, but only a few come close enough for us to see.
  An Englishman named Edmund Halley, who lived from 1656 to 1742, found out a lot about the paths that comets take through the sky. Some comets move out of our sight and never come back. Others keep coming back at regular times. A big comet that keeps coming back was named after Halley because he was the one who worked out when it would come back again. Maybe you have ever seen Halley’s Comets because the last time it came close to the sun and the earth was in the year 1986. Then people all over the world were outside at night to look at it. You will probably be able to see Halley’s Comets when it comes near the earth again.
小题1:A comet is like ________.
A.sunB.moonC.sunlightD.the earth
小题2:A large part of a comet is ______.
A.water and rock
B.water frozen into pieces of ice and mixed with iron

A.haven’t seen any cometsB.have seen all comets
C.have seen a comet at daytimeD.have seen a comet
小题4:Some comets keep coming back ________.
A.at any timeB.at noonC.at regular timesD.at daytime
小题5:Halley’s Comets came back _____.
A.in 1990B.in 1980C.in 1986D.in 1989

All over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy, happy and help them to live longer. 
Sports change with the season. People play different games in winter and summer. Games and sports often grow out of people’s work and everyday activities.

Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers.

Scientists have found a new use for children’s imaginations(想象力)—to make Stomachaches go away.   
The BBC reports a new study that shows: “Children can be taught to use their Imaginations to deal with stomachaches.” This may be very good news for parents who need a quick cure for their sick children.
Any mother or father understands the stomach problem is one of the most frequent(时常发生的) things their children complain about. Around twenty percent of children suffer from stomachaches that doctors cannot find a reason for.
This new research is especially good for kids with active imaginations. Researchers found that the more creative the child is, the better he or she is at imagining the pain away.
The researchers used a relaxing CD with children. A voice guided them through different fantasy(幻想) situations. One of these was pretending to be floating on a cloud. Thirty children took part in the tests. Half of them used the “guided imagery” method, and the other half received normal medicines. Researchers found 73.3 percent of the CD users reported a reduction in pain. This compared to only 26.7 percent of kids who got normal treatment.
Study leader Dr Miranda Tilburg was very excited about her findings. She believed that it was a very cheap and easy way to stop children’s stomachaches. She said it would not work as well with adults.
小题1:The new study may be good news for those who____________.
A.have less imaginations
B.don’t know how to relax
C.want to stop their kids’ stomachaches in a short time
D.can find why children suffer from stomachaches
小题2:What kind of kids will benefit most from the new research?
A.Kids who like listening to music.
B.Kids who are good at remembering things.
C.The independent(独立的) kids.
D.Kids with active imaginations.
小题3:From the end of the passage, we know that__________.
A.adults can also use their imaginations to make stomachaches go away
B.Dr Miranda Tilburg wasn’t pleased with her findings
C.the normal cure for stomachaches will not be used
D.a cheap and easy way to stop children’s stomachaches has been found
小题4:What is the best title for this passage?
A.How to stop stomachaches in public places.
B.Children can “imagine” their pain away.
C.Children’s imaginations are very active.
D.How to develop children’s imaginations.
