Question

There is not enough oil in the world now. As time goes by, it becomes less and less, so what are we going to do when it runs out? Perhaps we will go back to use horses, carriages and bicycles.

In the Second World War, some people didn’t use gas(气体) made from petroleum (石油) in their cars. They made gas from wood and plants instead. The car didn’t go fast, but they ran, so this was better than nothing. However, in the future, we can’t cut down all our trees to make gas; we need our trees for other things, too.

Besides different types of gas, we can also use electricity to run our cars, but first we must make the electricity! Some countries have coal(煤炭) and they make electricity with that, but we might not always have coal, either. Other countries have big, strong rivers, and they can use the power of water to turn turbines (涡轮机) and make electricity more easily and cheaply.

We are also able to get power from the ocean tides(潮). We put turbines into the mouth of the river. Then the tide comes in, the water turns the turbines and then it goes out, it turns them again.

Which of these ways will be used to run our cars in the future?

1.When might people have to go back to use horses and carriages?

A. When they are poor.

B. When they run out of oil.

C. When they need more exercise.

D. When there aren’t any big trees in the world.

2.What did some people use to make gas in the Second World War?

A. Water             B. Coal                C. Wood and plants D. Tides

3.How many ways are suggested to make electricity in the passage?

A. 2                   B. 5                   C. 4                    D. 3

4.According to the passage, which of the following statements is True?

A. There is more petroleum than we can use now.

B. Trees are needed for some other things besides making gas.

C. We got electricity from ocean tides in the old days.

D. Gas wasn’t used to run cars in the Second World War.

5.The passage is mainly about _________.

A. how to run our cars                     

B. what to do when oil runs out

C. different types of gas                   

D. the ways to make electricity

4.B

5.B

【解析】

试题分析：世界上没有足够的石油。随着时间的推移，它变得越来越少，所以我们要做什么当它用尽之后？或许我们将回头使用马，马车和自行车。第二次世界大战中，有些人没有使用气体从石油在他们的车。他们使气体从木材和植物来代替。汽车开不快，但他们跑，所以这也聊胜于无。然而，在未来，我们不能砍倒所有的树来制造天然气；我们需要我们的树木做其他的事情。

除了不同类型的气，我们也可以使用电力驱动汽车，但首先我们必须发电！一些国家有煤炭，他们用煤发电，但我们不会总是有煤。其他大国家，有强大的河流，他们可以利用水的力量推动涡轮机，使电力更容易和便宜。我们也能从海洋潮汐能发电。我们把涡轮机到河口。然后在涨潮，水就变成了涡轮机，然后出电。这些方法将用于运行我们的汽车在未来？

1.细节理解题。问题：什么时候人们可能不得不回到使用马和车？分析第一自然段出示了答案，现在世界上没有足够多的石油。故选 B。

2.细节理解题。问题：在第二次世界大战中人们用什么来制造蒸汽？原文：In the Second World War, some people didn’t use gas(气体) made from petroleum (石油) in their cars. They made gas from wood and plants instead.句意：第二次世界大战中，有些人没有使用气体从石油在他们的车。他们使用气体从木材和植物来代替。故选C。

3.计算及细节理解题。问题：短文中提到多少种建议去发电？有三种，分别是：coal、strong rivers、the ocean tides。故选 D。

4.细节理解题。通过这个信息，哪个信息是正确的？分析选项：A. There is more petroleum than we can use now.描述与事实相反。B. Trees are needed for some other things besides making gas.树除了制作汽体还有其他用途（不正确）C. We got electricity from ocean tides in the old days.在旧社会我们得到电是从海潮中来。（不正确）D. Gas wasn’t used to run cars in the Second World War.在二战中汽体没有用在小汽车上。（正确）故选B。

5.细节理解题。这个短文主要讲述什么？总结全文得到描述石油用尽后我们做什么。故选 B。
