    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    　 500 years ago in Britain, the burning of coal (煤) was increasing in cities like London. Coal was used in factories and also used to heat homes. Coal, when burnt makes a lot of smoke, which makes the air very dirty.

    　 About 200 years ago, the Industrial Revolution (工业革命) began in Britain. Factories were built, and even more coal was burnt. Air pollution was becoming a really big problem.

    　 Smoke and fog together make smog (烟雾). Smog was a big problem in London's winter. Because of the cold weather, more coal was burnt to warm houses and this made more smoke.

    　 When smog stayed over a city, it became really hard to breathe and see clearly. In 1952, the Great London Smog happened and more than 4,000 people died because of the smog.

    　 New laws (法律) were made in 1956 and 1968 to stop such sad things from happening again. These laws were called the Clean Air Acts.

    　 These laws were made so that air would become cleaner. The laws encouraged people to use less coal or switch to other fuels such as gas. Factories started using tall chimneys (烟囱) so that the smoke would go high up in the sky and no longer cover cities, and new factories were built in the countryside. Smog appeared less often and the air became cleaner.

    77. From the passage, we learn that smog was a big problem in ______ in London.

    A. spring　　　　　　 B. summer　　　　　 C. autumn　　　　　 D. winter

    78. The underlined words "switch to" mean "______" in Chinese.

    A. 发明　　　　 B. 换用　　　　 C. 拒绝　　　　 D. 节省

    79. Which was NOT a way people in Britain used to make the air cleaner, according to the passage?

    A. Factories built higher chimneys.

    B. People began to use less coal.

    C. More People began to ride bikes.

    D. New factories were built outside cities.

    80. Which is the best title for the passage?

    A. Air Pollution in Britain in the Past.

    B. How to Make the Air Cleaner.

    C. Smog Is Bad for the Environment.

    D. New Laws to Stop Air Pollution.

       I was born in Ireland and lived there until I was nineteen years old. I came to New York in 1956. At first, I
    held several jobs to eam a few dollars. Later, to live a better life, I bought my own taxi car. Till now, I've been in
    the taxi car business for thirty-five years. I know there is a lot about taxi drivers that is not so good. Because of
    this,people get the wrong impression (印象) that they are bad.
          In fact, taxi drivers are just like other honest people. You can read in the papers almost every week where a
    taxi driver tums in money or jewels people leave in their cars. One time in Brooklyn, I found a ring in my car. I
    remembered helping a lady with a lot of bags that day, so I went back to the store where I had dropped her off. It took me almost two days to look for her in order to retum the ring. I didn't get as much as "Thank you. " Still, I
    felt good because I had done what was right.
          In all my years of driving a taxi car, I have never had any trouble with the public because I always try to be
    nice to everyone. I try to be honest toward others. I have been trying this for a long time, and the longer I try,
    the easier it gets.
          I believe honesty is one of the greatest gifts there is. It's something that makes a man a good guy. This is
    also my way to live by.

    根据短文内容，判断下列句子的正误，正确的用“T”，错误的用“F”。
            It takes only 30 seconds to finish the journey in the South Pole. Visitors to the South Pole like to walk
    around, so there is a clear path in the snow there. Some visitors are so excited that they stand on their heads
    and have their pictures taken with flags of the Antarctic countries in the background.
            The United States has kept a base in the South Pole since 1956. Chinese scientists and technological
    engineers have built an observation station there, too.
            The South Pole itself is marked by a two-meter bamboo pole stuck in the ice. The ice cap (冰盖), which
    is 2,850 meters thick, moves 12 meters a year in the direction of Buenos Aires, Argentina. So the bamboo pole
    has to be moved back the same distance.
            The air in the South Pole is the cleanest on earth. Scientists from different countries have been working
    on making the Antarctic a world park to save it from being polluted by the wrong use of its oil and other
    mineral resources.
