There is not enough oil in the world now. As time goes by, it becomes less and less, so what are we going to do when it runs out? Perhaps we will go back to using horses, carriages and bicycles.
In the Second World War, some people didn’t use gas made from petroleum(石油) in their cars. They made gas from wood and plants instead. The car didn’t go fast, but they ran, so this was better than nothing. However, in the future, we can’t cut down all our trees to make gas; we need our trees for other things, too.
Besides different types of gas, we can also use electricity(电) to run our cars, but first we must make the electricity! Some countries have coal(煤) and they make electricity with that, but we might not always have coal, either. Other countries have big, strong rivers, and they can use the power of water to turn turbines(涡轮机) and make electricity more easily and cheaply.
We are also able to get power from the ocean tides. We put turbines into the mouth of the river. Then the tide comes in, the water turns the turbines and then it goes out, it turns them again.
Which of these ways will be used to run our cars in the future?When might people have to go back to using horses and carriages?
| A．When they are poor. |
| B．When they run out of oil. |
| C．When they need more exercise. |
| D．When there aren’t any big trees in the world. |
What did some people use to make gas in the Second World War?
| A．Water. | B．Coal. |
| C．Wood and plants. | D．Tides. |
How many ways are suggested to make electricity in the passage?
| A．2. | B．5. | C．4. | D．3. |
According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
| A．There is more petroleum than we can use now. |
| B．Trees are needed for some other things besides making gas. |
| C．We got electricity from ocean tides in the old days. |
| D．Gas wasn’t used to run cars in the Second World War. |
The passage is mainly about __________.
| A．how to run our cars | B．what to do when oil runs out |
| C．different types of gas | D．the ways to make electricity |

Parking has been a problem for drivers for a long time in Zhengzhou. The Transportation Department is mapping out a new plan for the city’s parking system. There are about 100 thousand cars on the road in Zhengzhou but only enough parking space to provide room for 15 percent of these vehicles. It is no wonder that local drivers get so worried trying to find a place to park.
The number of the private car owners is becoming lager and larger. In March, the city sent out 1,000 private car licenses, the highest number of licenses ever sent out in a month. Industry experts say this suggests that local people have a strong, active interest in buying cars.
By the year 2020, the number of cars in Zhengzhou will probably reach 200 thousand. If one parking lot is for each car, then a lot of parking space should be built for these vehicles. The center of Zhengzhou is most short of parking space. However, experts point out that simply building more parking lots in these areas is not practical and doesn’t solve the problem. The idea of “ Park & Ride” system has been suggested. This means that underground train and city train should be developed quickly. Drivers can leave their vehicles in car parks nearby subway and bus stations and then they can ride public transport to go to the city center. Based on this idea, the city will cut down the number of parking lots in the city center and need higher parking fees(费用). But it will build more parking areas near main subway and bus stops.The underlined phrase “ mapping out ” in the first paragraph means _____.
| A．making | B．arguing |
| C．replying | D．comparing |
About _____ drivers can find places to park their cars in Zhengzhou now.
| A．8,500 | B．10,000 |
| C．15,000 | D．20,000 |

| A．The city sent out more private licenses in February. |
| B．Less and less people bought cars in March. |
| C．The city sent out less private licenses in March. |
| D．More and more people are going to buy cars. |
