A California family drives a car that could help protect the environment. When Jon and Sandy go to the store or to their daughters’ soccer games, they drive in high-tech style. They drive a $1 million, fuel-cell-powered car. It may be the world’s most expensive car and one of the most environmentally friendly cars. The FCX is the first fuel-cell-powered car to be used by a family anywhere in the world. The FCX uses hydrogen and oxygen for fuel. Car makers have been working to develop vehicles that are better for the environment. They are developing cars that use fuel other than gasoline. And then what is fuel cell technology? Fuel cell technology works by changing the chemicals hydrogen and oxygen into water. This process produces electricity, and water vapor which comes out of the exhaust pipe. Most cars release dangerous gases such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Many scientists say these gases are major contributors to global warming. “The FCX is driven just like any other vehicle on the road, but without the gases which pollute the environment,” scientists say. Fuel cell technology has been around since the 1800s, but scientists have yet been to perfect it. They say it may take years before the technology is ready for widespread use. Another earth-friendly car is already on the market. Hybrid cars use both gasoline and an electric motor. They are becoming more popular with customers because they cut pollution and improve fuel efficiency.
46. Which of the following about the FCX is not true?
A. It may be the most expensive car in the world.
B. It is one of the most environmentally friendly cars.
C. It releases dangerous gases to pollute the air.
D. It uses hydrogen and oxygen for fuel other than gasoline.
47. According to the passage, what is the major cause for global warming?
A. Gases from FCX.                           B. Water vapor from cars.
C. Hydrogen and oxygen.            D. Gases from cars.
48. From the passage, we know that fuel cell technology ______.
A. works by water                       B. has a history for over two hundred years
C. works by electricity                 D. has been widely used since the 1800s
49. We can infer from the passage that ______.
A. future cars will be environmentally friendly
B. there will be no gasoline for cars
C. people can’t afford to buy cars in the future
D. global warming has been stopped
50. Hybrid cars are popular because ______.
A. they are the fuel-cell-powered cars
B. they are energy-saving and cut pollution
C. they are perfect cars in the world
D. they produce no gases to pollute the environment

There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown.They probably came about just to give children something to do.
In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with another.In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world.
What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same.The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship, mechanics, and technology.It is the universality of toys with regard to their development in all parts of the word and their persistence to the present that is amazing.In Egypt, America, China, Japan and among the Arctic(北极的) people, generally the same kinds of toys appeared.Variations depended on local customs and way of life because toys imitate their surrounding.Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles.
Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been subject to technological leaps that characterize inventions for adult use.The progress from the wheel to the cart to the automobile is a direct line of ways up.The progress from a rattle (拨浪鼓) used by a baby in 3,000 BC to one used by an infant today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness.Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations of available materials.

A senior official in charge of Internet security has claimed that the country has become the world' s biggest victim of cyber-attacks.
In an interview with Xinhua over the weekend, Zhou Yonglin, deputy chief of the operations department of China National Computer Network Emergency Response Technical Team ( CNCERT), also dismissed Google' s complaints that hackers traced to China had attacked its servers.
Google has not yet given CNCERT any report on the company' s complaints about the attacks, according to Zhou. "We have been hoping that Google will contact us so that we could have details on this issue and provide them help if necessary.”
Foreign firms such as eBay have turned to CNCERT for cyber security issues in the past year. Last year, the Internet security watchdog received 21,618 complaints from foreign companies, of which 1,095 cases were solved after combining similar cases. These cases included the trojan and phishing attacks (钓鱼攻击) against eBay /Paypal, JPMorgan Chase & Co and MarkMonitor Inc.
China has also sought other countries' help to clear web pages with malicious content. In November 2009, CNCERT reported to its US counterpart, the US-CERT, about two US-registered domain (域) names that were planting trojans on hundreds of Chinese websites. The domain names were shut down within two days of CNCERT’s requests.
With the number of Chinese netizens soaring but their Internet security awareness lagging, hackers have made China their primary target, Zhou said. He accused overseas hackers, especially those in the US, of illegally controlling computers in China by implanting malicious programs including trojans and zombie programs.
Compared with Interact security issues in the US, Japan and the Republic of Korea, it is very serious in China. Last year, 262,000 IP addresses in China were hit by trojans planted by nearly 165,000 overseas IP addresses. Those from the US ranked first, accounting for 16.61 percent.
60. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Google attacked by unknown hackers.                  
B. US legally responsible for Internet Security
C. Malicious Programs, an International Problem
D. China, the world' s biggest victim of cyber-attacks
61. Who does the underlined "a senior official" refer to?
A. An interviewer from Xinhua News Agency.
B. Deputy Chief of operation department of CNCERT.
C. A high official from Google Company.                 
D. A representative from foreign firms.
62. The author mentions eBay as an example of ________.
A. complaining for the cyber attacks                         B. seeking other countries for assistance
C. turning to CNCERT for cyber security                   D. taking USA as a counterpart
63. What does the writer intend to tell the readers in Paragraph 5?
A. The global cyber-attacks are mainly from the US.
B. International cooperation quickens steps to settle cyber issues.
C. The two US-registered domains are the counterparts of US-CERT.
D. CNCERT shut down the two US domain names within two days.

For better health, many people turn to doctors or self-help books.But they don’t realize that their friends could help them fight illness and sadness, slow aging and help them live a longer life.Researchers are only now starting to pay attention to the importance of friendship in whole health.A 10-year Australian study found that old people with a large circle of friends were 22 percent less likely to die during the study than those with fewer friends.
“In general, the role of friendship in our lives isn’t well appreciated,” said Rebecca G.Adams, a professor of the University of North Carolina.“Friendship has a bigger influence on us than family relationships.” Why friendship has such a big effect isn’t clear.While friends can pick up medicine for a sick person, the advantages go well beyond physical help.
Last year, researchers studied 34 students at the University of Virginia, taking them to the foot of a steep(陡峭的)hill and fitting them with a heavy backpack.They were then asked to estimate the steepness of the hill.Some of them stood next to their friends during the research, while others were alone.The students who stood with their friends judged the hill to be lower than the hills in other students’ eyes.And the longer the friends had known each other, the less steep the hill appeared.
“People with stronger friendship feel like there is someone they can turn to,” said Karen A Roberto, director of the medical center at Virginia Tech.“Friendship is a great resource, but many people don’t realize it.The message of these studies is that friends make your life better.”
64.We can learn from Paragraph 1 that     .
A.friends could take the place of doctors and medicine
B.researchers have studied the importance of friendship for a long time
C.people with few friends usually die at a young age
D.people with many friends can live longer
65.Which of the following is RTUE of Professor Adams?
A.She thinks friends affect us more than family members.
B.She likes making friends with different people.
C.She advises people to choose a close friend.
D.She knows the role of friendship in her life.
66.The underlined word “estimate” in Paragraph 3 means “       ”.
A.judge         B.find      C.learn           D.imagine
67.What’s the best title for the passage?
A.How to keep healthy            B.How to make friends
C.The importance of friendship     D.The meaning of real friends

Family members become closer during such a trip, therefore make sure to bring every family member with you — needless to say, your pet dog as well. Enjoy the fresh air and beautiful sunshine with your pet and you will feel much closer to it.
If you have decided to take your dog on a self-driving holiday, a full and detailed preparation is needed.
When reaching the destination, dogs need comfortable and cozy places to rest, but they are sometimes banned from some hotels and restaurants. Therefore it is of great importance to make sure the place you are going is dog-friendly.
Dogs like Golden Retrievers, Schnauzers, Labradors and Cocker Spaniels are quite lively and outgoing in nature so are suitable for a trip. But some canines are not, such as those which are too young or too old.The old dog lets you know quickly about being uncomfortable with unfamiliar circumstances, while the young ones are easy to get hurt.
Many people wrongly believe that holiday trips are beneficial to animals, strengthening their ability to deal with strange environments. But experts say that it’s not as effective as they think and the ability to adapt to different environments needs to be trained into the dogs before they come across such challenges. A sudden trip can be too much of a burden for many dogs which will feel stressed and scared.Only those more naturally friendly dogs will feel happy on a trip with owners by their side.
Special attention should be paid to animal insurance because in a strange environment dogs can be easily frightened by other animals and run away. Keeping them well tied up is advisable.
Another important point that requires your attention is the possibility of attacks by other dogs in rural areas where immunity(免疫力) from disease cannot be guaranteed.
64.The underlined word “canines ” in Para.4 refers to ________.
A.destinations             B.dogs         C.  hotels and restaurants            D.people
65.People should pay special attention to animal insurance because ________.
A.there are too many young dogs
B.dogs have the ability to adapt to new environments
C.  dogs are easily attacked by other dogs in rural areas
D.dogs are easily afraid of other animals and run away in a strange place
66.The main reason why people bring their dogs on holiday is that ________.
A.they are not safe at home    
B.they are members of the family
C.  their dogs can learn a lot outside
D.people can build a better relationship with them
67.What’s the best title of the passage?
A.Bring Your Pet on Holiday            B.Take Care of Your Pet
C.  A Special Member of the Family   D.Animal Insurance
