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 white-haired old gentleman steps out of his car, bag in hand and coat over his arm, he has called from the office to say that he is on the way. His wife is preparing supper. He can see the light shining inside his own front door. He looks forward to a fire and hot milk. It is a cold night. A few seconds later he is lying on the icy ground in a pool of his own blood.
It doesn't happen very often, but it does happen in the capital city of the United States. It is more likely to happen in the near-deserted city center at night. What happened to him could happen to any of us.
Senator Stennis, who is 71 , got out of his white Buick at 7:40 p.m. outside his home at 3609 Cumberland Street. Two youths said, "Get out! Money, please." He followed the order. He handed over his wallet containing several cards, a gold watch and the only money he had in his pockets—twenty-five cents. The youths also said, "Now we're going to shoot you anyway." Anyway they did. One bullet(子弹) hit him in the leg and struck the bone. The other entered his chest just below the upper pocket of his suit. It narrowly missed his heart.
Strangely he made it across a ten-meter distance, up eight steps and along twenty more feet of stone path. His wife met him at the door, and saw two men running. The senator told her to call the police and the doctor.
The senator is a powerful political figure, but it is unlikely that the two young men knew who he was. More likely the reason for the killing was that he had only no more than a quarter of dollar - not enough for two cups of coffee.
49 According to the passage,_______.
A. such a mugging(行凶抢劫) might have happened to anyone
B. the mugging happened on a cold evening in a senator's home
C. the senator was killed because he was an important politician
D. the mugging might not have happened if the senator was young and strong
50. Having robbed the senator, the two young men _______.
A. pulled him into a pool B. shot two bullets into his body
C. hit out at him hard D. carried him away
51. The two young men were angry by the fact that _______.
A. the senator attempted to cheat them
B. they failed to get the senator's expensive car
C. the senator didn't die in their hands
D. the mugging didn't bring them what they had expected
52 Which of the following statements is not true?
A. A near-deserted city center at night is a dangerous place.
B. People should always carry some money with them.
C. Though seriously wounded, the senator managed to get home on his own.
D. The senator's wife met the two men and recognized them.
