　Housing is the living places for human beings. As the population keeps climbing, People in the city have to face the reality that housing is in short supply. To solve this problem, New York city planners are challenging tradition and starting to design more micro units. Micros, also known as hostel-style apartments, usually offer less than 200 square feet(18.5 square meters)in area. Could you imagine living in 150 square feet(14 square meters)？ These units usually have only room for a bed, a table mini-fridge and the basic living essentials.

　 Why is the micro apartment so appealing？ The reasons are rather straightforward. It is perfect for single people who don＇t have a lot of things. It can also meet the need of people who are short on cash but determined to live in their own places. Micro apartments are very common in cities like Tokyo and Hong Kong, where there are so many people living. Now this tiny housing solution is gaining ground in urban areas in the U.S., and Canada. The micro apartment is an experiment in simplicity in American culture. So small-scale home life is part of a hot trend in U.S. real estate.

　When Dr. Robert Metcalf first used a solar cooker, the future changed for millions of Africans. He knew that billions of poor people around the world depend on the use of wood for cooking. As they take more and more firewood from wild areas. They are destroying habitats around the world. Wood collection is one reason why many animals have become endangered. But sunshine can be an alternative to fire. Dr. Metcalf says. Since his first solar cooked meal, he has helped people around the world to use simple new technologies to cook their food. Each morning in villages across East Africa, small children and their mothers wake up and walk several miles to collect firewood to cook their food. It takes much of the day, and the heavy firewood they carry home on their heads lasts only a few days. This is why Dr. Metcalf spends each summer in Africa. He teaches women and children in villages how to cook with the sun. So far, more than thirty thousand African families now have solar cookers, and new programs will introduce solar cookers to millions of families. To find water, women and children may have to walk long distance to dig holes in dry riverbeds or to gather water from streams and shallow wells. They fill their buckets(桶)and carry them home on their heads. The buckets often weigh asmuch as forty pounds. Not only is finding water hard work, but the water is often polluted witherms(细菌)that make people sick. Dr. Metcalf and others developed a simple，reusable tool that people can use to make sure their water is safe to drink．The tool is calked a WAPI，which stands for Water Pasteurization Indicator. The pasteurization process is named after Louis Pasteur，who developed it in the 1800s. 1．Why did Metcalf help Africans use solar cookers？ [答案]C．He realized using firewood is not good for the environment． 2．The underlined word it in the third paragraph probably refers to_______. [答案]A．collecting firewood                    3．Each summer Metcalf stays in Africa to_______. [答案]C. spread the technique of using solar cookers 4．Water Pasteurization Indicator was developed to_______. [答案]A. kill the bacteria in water 5．It can be inferred from tile passage that_______. [答案]B．women and children in Africa usually lead a hard life 二、阅读理解：阅读下面的短文，根据文章内容进行判断，正确为T，错误为F。

　Millions of people around the world cook their food over a smoky fire every day. It is often difficult to find wood for the fire. People who do not have wood must spend large amounts of money on cooking fuel. However, there is a much easier way to cook food using energy from the sun. Solar cookers, or ovens, have been used for centuries.   Solar ovens consist of a system of reflectors and a cooking pot. The rest is up to your imagination! Once you have collected or bought your solar oven, you can use it to prepare hot meals in the backyard, at a campground or wherever your heart desires. Of all the inventions that could benefit humankind, a reliable solar cooker remains one of the most necessary. Countless people across the developing world still cook their food by burning wood or even cow dung, causing breathing problems and severe pollution in some regions. The searching for a practical solar cooker has gone on for decades and produced dozens of models. But none of them have caught on importantly for use in the developing world because they can’t store heat. Without the ability to store heat, a cooker cannot be used, for example, on cloudy days. But now a group based at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology(NTNU)is reporting a discovery in solar cookers. They say it will lead to the production of practical solar cookers within a year and a half and it can store enough heat during a sunny day to work for an entire additional day, even if it is cloudy.   * People who do not have wood must spend small amounts of money on cooking fuel. [答案]F * There is a much easier way to cook food using energy from the sun. [答案]T * Solar cookers, or ovens, have not been used for centuries. [答案]F * Solar ovens consist of a system of reflectors and a cooking pot. [答案]T * Without the ability to store heat, a cooker can be used, for example, on cloudy days.

　High-speed rail is a type of rail transport that operates significantly faster than traditional rail traffic, using an integrated system of specialized rolling stock and dedicated tracks. While there is no single standard that applies worldwide, new lines in excess of 250 km/hr and existing lines in excess of 200 km/hr are widely considered to be high-speed, with some extending the definition to include much lower speeds(e.g. 160 km/hr)in areas for which these speeds still represent significant improvements. The first such system began operations in Japan in 1964 and was widely known as the bullet train. High-speed trains normally operate on standard gauge tracks of continuously welded rail on grade-separated right-of-way that incorporates a large turning radius in its design. Many countries have developed high-speed rail to connect major cities, including Austria , Belgium, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Poland, Portugal, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, Taiwan, turkey, United Kingdom, United States and Uzbekistan. Only in Europe does HSR cross international borders. China has 16,000 km of HSR, accounting for 60 percent of the world’s total. While high-speed rail is usually designed for passenger travel, some high-speed systems also offer freight service. 1. High-speed rail is a type of rail transport that operates significantly than traditional rail traffic. [答案]A. faster 2. According to the passage, which of the following is true？ [答案]A. there is no single standard that applies worldwide. 3.

　The world’s longest high-speed railway route, running from Beijing to Guangzhou, has been in operation for a few years. It cuts travel time between the two cities from 22 hours to only 8 hours. With comfortable seats and quiet cabins, this high-speed line offers a pleasant journey for thousands of travelers. The high speed railway connects Beijing with five provincial capitals. Part of the line, from Zhengzhou to Guangzhou, was in operation before the whole line was connected. The opening of the Beijing to Zhengzhou section has connected the entire line. It covers a total length of 2,298 kilometers. The Beijing-Guangzhou line connects one third of China’s population and more than 40 percent of its economic power. Travelers benefit from the efficient network, and find that their hometowns are not that far away. As the American publication _Newsweek_ puts it：

　Cars are an important part of life in the United States. Without a car most people feel that they are poor. And even if a person is poor he doesn＇t feel really poor when he had a car. Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didn＇t know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the United Stated a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today. There are three main reasons why the car becomes so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. With a car people can go anyplace without spending a lot of money. The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the country as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently. The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don＇t like to wait for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don＇ t like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have. The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much gas. 1. We can learn from this passage that Americans_________. [答案]B．travel a lot in their cars 2. Which of the following statements is TRUE？ [答案]C．An American will feel poor unless he has a car. 3. In the writer＇s opinion, cars are popular in the United States mainly because_________. [答案]A．Americans like to plan their own time 4. A nation on wheels in the second paragraph means that_________. [答案]B．the United States produces most of the cars in the world

　 5. The real solution to the gas shortage problem is_________. [答案]C. to make gas-saving cars 二、阅读理解：阅读下面的短文，根据文章内容从A、B、C三个选项中选出一个最佳选项。

　Car crashes are the top killer of American teenagers. Most of the crashes result from distracted driving—not paying attention to the road. Ryan Didone was a fifteen-year-old passenger in a car that hit a tree. He was one of the nation＇s more than thirty thousand victims of traffic crashes in 2008. Nearly four thousand deaths, about twelve percent involved drivers age fifteen to twenty. Ryan＇s father, Thomas Didone, is a police captain in Marylan. It was an inexperienced, immature driver driving at night with a carload of kids. He was distracted, he was　going too fast, and it ended up causing one death and some seriously injured. He shares the story of his son＇s death to help educate teens and their families about distracted driving. Jim Jennings from the Allstate Insurance Company says the number one cause of distracted-driving accidents is the mobile phone. He says talking on the phone or reaching for it is like drinking four beers and driving. If you＇re texting while driving, you are twenty-three times more likely to get into an accident than somebody who isn＇t. Government and private groups are using public service announcements and events to bring more attention to the problem. For example, the insurance industry recently held a safety event for teen drivers. At first, nineteen-year-old Kevin Schumann easily avoided large, inflatable dolls thrown in front of the car to represent children. He also avoided orange cones representing the edge of the road. Then, as part of the test, he started texting. He hit several cones and at least one doll. That＇s what really opened up the experience for me to prove how bad it is to really text and drive. Debbie Pickford of Allstate Insurance says teens are especially at risk from distracted driving —and not just because they lack experience on the roads. According to the research, teens don＇t really have fully developed brains until they’re twenty-five years old. You put those two things together and you get a much, much higher risk. A new law proposes a graduated driver licensing system. Graduated means teenagers start with restrictions like on night driving and numbers of passengers. They could not get a full driver＇s license until age eighteen. 1.According to the passage, _________is the most likely to lead to a traffic accident while you are driving． [答案]A．texting on the mobile phone 2. We can learn from the second paragraph that_________. [答案]B. over 30,000 victims have died from traffic crashes so far 3. A safety event held by insurance industry was meant to_________. [答案]B．draw enough attention to teenagers＇ distracted driving 4. The passage is probably followed by a concluding paragraph about_________. [答案]C．measures to be taken 5. Of all the following, which is the best title for the passage？ [答案]B．Distracted Driving —Let＇s Avoid! 二、阅读理解：阅读下面的短文，根据文章内容进行判断，正确为T，错误为F。

　Air pollution People and air pollution are often in the same places. This means that cities with large populations have the biggest problem of dirty air. Air pollution is caused by many different things. A major kind of air pollution is the gas from cars. Statistics(统计资料)show that 93 percent of all auto trips are within cities. Another major kind of dirty air is the burning of coal and oil for energy. This energy is needed to make electricity. Of course, much more electricity is used in the city than in the country. On the average, we throw away more rubbish than the year before. The burning of rubbish makes air pollution even worse. Many major industries are also responsible for the dirty air in the around cities. The fumes(烟)from iron, steel, chemical, and petrol production add particles(微粒) to the air. The effects of air pollution range from mild headaches to death. The levels of pollution found in heavy traffic may cause headaches for loss of clear vision. Wherever coal and oil are used for fuel, fumes may kill trees and plants and cause metal to corrode(腐蚀). In some of the larger cities, these fumes endanger the lives of human beings by contributing to lung diseases and causing early death. 1. The key point of the passage is that_________. [答案]B．the causes and the effects of air pollution are both found in cities 2. What is the purpose of this passage？ [答案]A．to persuade people to stop polluting the air 3. Why is air pollution more grave in the city than in the country？ [答案]C．Because there are much more gas fumes from cars and burning of coal and oil for energy in the city than in the country. 4. The fumes from coal and oil may cause metal_________. [答案]A．to corrode 5. In larger cities, the fumes from coal and oil may contribute to _________. [答案]C．lung diseases 二、阅读理解：阅读下面短文，选择合适的内容将短文补充完整。

　When a few college students jokingly declared Nov. 11 a National Singles Day in the 90s in China, they would never be able to imagine that they were creating the biggest online shopping spree in the world. It started as a way for young people to make fun of themselves as being single and invite other single friends to have fun at bars, restaurants and karaoke rooms.

In 2009, online retail giant Alibaba announced it would be selling everything at half price on taobao.com on Nov. 11. It was the first time for Chinese single men and women, and indeed married people, too, to enjoy the huge discounts in online shopping on the Singles Day.
