    　　Be sure you're at the 2007 Super Conference, the 88th national meeting of the Canadian Community Newspapers Association．Ian Morrison, a futurist and author, will share his long-term forecasting on changing business environments and throw light on the development of the newspaper business model．Later in the day, you won't want to miss David Wilkins, the American ambassador to Canada, as he discusses affairs affecting U．S．-Canada relations．Both presentations take place May 9－the opening day of the conference．

    　　On Thursday, May 10, meet Rob Curley, vice-president of product development for the Washington Post, an online innovator(革新者)whose earlier work at the Naples, Florida Daily News, the small market Lawrence Journal-World in Kansas, and with Morris Communications has made him an innovative legend at age 35．His creativity has changed traditional thinking about newspaper web sites, allowing for very local community web sites and multimedia features．In 2004, Editor ＆ Publisher named the 19 000-circulation(发行量)Lawrence Journal-World one of the ten newspapers in the U．S．that “do it right．”

    　　On Friday, May 11, speakers Juan, Media Consulting Group and André, Gesca Ltd, will explore the trend(倾向)towards free and closely-related newspapers, which is not only a European phenomenon, but has also appeared in North America．They will be followed by Leon Levitt, vice-president of digital media for Cox Newspapers, and others．They will address partnerships such as the one Yahoo! and several large U．S．newspaper companies have created, which are widely greeted as win-win for both organizations．

    　　People in Mutsuhito, Japan, lived through one hundreds, and sometimes thousands, a day．But they couldn’t get used to it．

    　　What was it? It was a string of earthquakes that made the small town shake all the time．This went on for more than a year．Sometimes the quakes were very small．Only certain instruments could pick them up．At other times, the quakes damaged houses and land．The people were always afraid．They wished they knew how to stop the ground from shaking．

    　　People all over the world would like to know when an earthquake is coming．But an earthquake is almost always a surprise．Under the surface of the Earth, huge blocks of rock drift apart or slide against each other．The ground above splits apart or rumbles and shakes．

    　　Some scientists hope to predict quakes by keeping a close watch on animals．It seems that some animals can sense an earthquake coming．In 1969, animals in a Chinese zoo began to act funny one day．Swans flew out of their pond．A panda sat down, covered its eyes with its paws, and groaned．The animals seemed to know that something was about to happen．And it did．An earthquake struck．What was it that the animals sensed? Scientists are trying to find out．

    　　Keeping close track of the Earth’s magnetic force in earthquake areas may also help．A few years ago, in Hollister, CA, scientists kept a record of the area’s magnetic pull．For one week, the force grew stronger．Then it weakened suddenly．A day later, an earthquake struck．

    　　It may become possible to know when and where an earthquake will happen．But it will be much harder to stop one from happening．

    　　Many scientists think that the Earth’s covering is not smooth．They say the earth’s “skin” is made up of huge puzzle pieces called plates．Land and ocean floors make up these huge plates．Under the Earth’s crust(外壳), or plates, is hot rock．The plates float on top of this rock．Sometimes the rock forces its way through the crust．What happens then? A volcano is born! More often, the rock moves and forces the plates to pull away from each other, causing earthquakes to happen．(Volcanoes and earthquakes often go together．)

    　　Sometimes, the plates end up on top of each other．When this happens, the land above may look strange．Seen from the air, there seems to be a long scar in the Earth．This is called a fault(断层)．The areas along faults have more earthquakes than other parts of the Earth．

    　　For now, we’ll just have to shake along with the Earth．It goes through millions of small earthquakes every year．With luck, you won’t feel a thing!

    (1)

    In order to predict earthquakes, scientists can _______．

    Which is wrong according to this passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    keep a close watch on animals

    B．

    keep close track of the Earth’s magnetic force in earthquake areas

    C．

    keep inventing instruments to pick up every earthquake

    D．

    keep a record of earthquake area’s magnetic pull of force

    (2)

    When the rock forces its way through the Earth’s crust, _______．

    [　　]

    A．

    a volcano is born

    B．

    an earthquake happens

    C．

    a fault forms

    D．

    the Earth’s covering becomes smooth

    (3)

    How does a fault form?

    [　　]

    A．

    When California rests on two separate plates．

    B．

    When the plates end up on top of each other．

    C．

    Before an earthquake happens．

    D．

    After volcano comes．

    C
    A car that runs on coffee is unveiled（shown to the public for the first time）today but at between 25 and 50 times the cost of running a car on petrol, the invention won’t please any motor industry accountants．
    Nicknamed the Car-puccino, it has been created using a 1988 Volkswagen Scirocco bought for £400 and it was chosen because it looked like the time-traveling DeLorean in the movie Back To The Future．The car will be driven the 210 miles between Manchester and London powered only by roasted coffee granules （颗粒）．It has been built by a team from the BBC1 science programme Bang Goes The Theory and will go on display at the Big Bang science fair in Manchester to show how fuels other than traditional petrol can power vehicles．
    The team calculates the Car-puccino will do three miles per kilo of ground coffee （咖啡粉） — about 56 cups of espressos （浓咖啡） per mile．The journey will use about 70 kilos of ground coffee which, at supermarket prices of between £13 and £26 a kilo depending on brand and quality, will cost between £910 and £1,820, or between 25 and 50 times the £36 cost of petrol for the journey．In total, the trip will cost 11,760 espressos, and the team will have to take ‘coffee breaks’ roughly every 30 to 45 miles to pour in more granules．They will also have to stop about every 60 miles to clean out the ‘coffee filters’ to rid them of the soot and tar which is also generated by the process．So despite a top speed of 60mph, the many stops mean the going will be slow, with the journey taking around ten hours．
    Sadly, the inventors will still have to pay duty on their coffee fuel---even though tax collectors at Her Majesty’s Revenue and Custom haven’t yet worked out how much．
    Nick Watson, producer of Bang Goes The Theory, said, “Coffee, like wood or coal, has some carbon content so you can use it as a fuel．The coffee needs to be very dry and in granules to allow the air to move through the pile of coffee as it burns．The brand doesn’t matter．” He said the same technology could be used to power a car on other unusual fuels, such as woodchips or nut shells, construction or agricultural waste．
    49．Which is the right way to choose the coffee used as fuels to run the Car-puccino?
    A．It should be very dry．                B．The stronger, the better．
    C．The smaller the granules are, the better．  D．It should be of a certain brand．
    50．What can be inferred from the passage?
    A．All kinds of materials can be used as fuels．
    B．The Car-puccino will be put into the market soon．
    C．Nick Watson is the designer of the Car-puccino
    D．Much remains to be improved for the Car-puccino．
    51．The Car-puccino has its disadvantages EXCEPT that ________．
    A．it makes a lot of noise           
    B．it runs at a very high cost
    C．it has to stop to be refueled very often．       
    D．it’s not good enough for long-distance journey
    52．How much ground coffee will be used to cover a distance of 126 miles in this car?
    A．About 70 kilos    B．About 42 kilos．  C．About 32 kilos    D．About 30 kilos

    C
    A gadget which makes water out of air could become the greatest househo1d invention since the microwave.
    Using the same technology as a dehumidifier（除湿器），the Water Mill is able to create a ready supply of drinking water because it can always get it from an unlimited source—the air．
    The company behind the machine says not only does it offer an alternative to bottled water in
    developed countries, but it is a solution for the millions who face a daily water shortage．
    The machine works by drawing in wet air through a filter（过滤器）and over a cooling instrument which changes it into water droplets．It can produce up to 1 2 liters a day．The Water Mill will also produce more water when storms pass over, as the amount of water which is contained in the air increases. In keeping with its eco-development, the machine uses the same amount of electricity as three lights.
    Inventor Jonathan Ritchey said: “The demand for water is off the chart. So people are looking for freedom from water distribution systems that are shaky and unreliable.”
    The machine, which is about 3 feet wide, is likely to cost ￡800 when it goes on sale here in the spring. Its maker, Canadian Firm Element Four, roughly calculates that a litre of water cost around 20p to produce.
    Environmentalists state that half the world’s population will face water shortage because of climate change by 2080. One in five is said to lack access to safe drinking.
    The Water Mill is not effective in areas where the amount of water contained in the air is below about 30 percent, but in Britain that won’t be much of a problem.
    63．What does the underlined word “it” refer do?
    A．Drinking water.       B．Invention. C．Microwave.      D．Water Mill.
    64．What do we learn about the machine?
    A．It works in the same way as microwaves.
    B．It is very expensive for families to afford.
    C．It absorbs steam and turns it into water.
    D．It helps to make the water clean to drink.
    65．What does the passage lead us to believe?
    A．The cost of water will go up.  B．Bottled water will disappear sooner.
    C．The machine is energy saving. D．The machine will be popular worldwide.
    66．What’s the best title for the passage?
    A．A New Way to Solve Water Problem.    B．A Machine to Make Water out of Air.
    C．A Dehumidifier to Produce Water.     D．An Absolutely New Invention
