Once a year, a race is held for old cars. A lot of cars entered for this race last year and there was a great deal of excitement just before it began. One of the most handsome cars was a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost. The most unusual car was a Benz which had only three wheels (车轮). Made in 1885, it was the oldest car taking part in the race. After a great many loud explosions, the race began. Many of the cars broke down on the course and some drivers spent more time under their cars than in them.
A few cars, however, completed the race. The winning car reached a speed (速度) of forty miles an hour — much faster than any of its rivals. It sped (加速前进) downhill at the end of the race and its driver had a lot of trouble trying to stop it. The race gave everyone a great deal of pleasure. It was very different from modern car races but no less exciting.

Maybe you are moving on to a high school,and maybe there will be plenty of new faces.Or perhaps,you’re starting at a totally new school system,where you don’t know anybody at all.
Whatever your situation is,you’re going from being one of the oldest kids at school to one of the youngest.You might be taking classes or doing activities with persons who seem a million times bigger!Remember,these“big kids”were once new ones just like you,and most of them will be friendly and willing to help.If you find yourself in a situation where older students are using their size to beat you,tell a teacher in the school.
Because of the variety(变化)of courses and activities in high school,people are different from each other.Sometimes,people form groups according to what they have in common.
Although it’s natural to spend time with people who share your interests,try to keep yourself open to everyone.You might discover new people who love the same music you do,or have similar taste in movies.

  A recent research shows that physical activity(体育活动)may help students do better in their classes.The research comes because educators in some countries are reducing time for activities like P.E.class.
  Researchers go over the results of fourteen studies.Twelve were from the United States,one from Canada and one from South Africa.The studies appeared between 2009 and 2013.They included more than 55,000 children,aged six to eighteen.
  Thomas Singh,one of the researchers,says the studies showed a relationship between physical activity and scores on subjects such as math,English and reading.Mr.Singh offers some possible explanations(解释):
  There are,first,physiological(生理的)explanations,like more blood flow,and so more oxygen(氧气)to the brain.Being physically active means there are more hormones(荷尔蒙)produced,like endorphins(脑内啡).And endorphins make your stress level lower and your mood improved,which means you will perform better in class.Also,students who take part in organized sports learn rules and how to follow them.This could improve their classroom behavior and help them know what they should do.
  All in all,the finding tells us that physically active kids are more likely to do better in school.Mr.Singh says schools should consider the finding before they cut physical education programs.
What led the researchers to do the studies?

A.Schools’cutting physical activity.
B.Their interest in physical activity.
C.The tests including about 55,000 children.
D.Kids’unsatisfying schooling performance.

How many countries took part in the studies?

A.14.
B.12.
C.2.
D.3.

Which of the following is NOT one of the advantages of physical activity according to the passage?

A.Getting more blood flow.
B.Better classroom behavior.
C.Feeling relaxed and refreshed.
D.Greater ability to organize activities.

In common with many countries,Britain has serious environmental problems.In 1952,more than 4,000 people died in London because of the smog.The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot.
Today,London is much cleaner but there is a new problem:the smog from cars.In December 199(1)there was very little wind in London and pollution increased a lot.As a result,about 160 people died from pollution in just four days.
Part of the problem is the new“out of town”shopping centers.In the past,people often walked to shops near their home or went by bus.Now,many people drive to the new shopping centers.As a result,the small shops have disappeared and more people have to travel to do their shopping.
Critics(评论员)say that Britain needs better and cheaper public transport.Transport in Britain is very expensive.An early morning train trip from Glasgow to London(about 600 km)can cost about 100 pounds,for example.A short 15-minute bus trip can cost over 1.00 pound.
Many people are trying to reduce the use of cars in Britain.Some cities now have special bicycle paths and many people cycle to work.Some people also travel to work together in one car to reduce the pollution and the cost.

Environmental problems in________

It is widely agreed that the overuse of fossil fuels,such as coal and oil has caused serious environmental problems.Scientists are trying to find new clean energies that do not pollute the air,the water or the ground.Solar power is one of them.

Solar power is a kind of electricity which is produced by taking energy from the sun,using solar panels.The solar panels are usually fixed on the roofs of houses and buildings.It is the family solar power system.Some countries are even beginning to build solar power plants by setting thousands of solar panels in the places where there is enough sunshine.Solar power has many advantages.The power is easy to get and will never be used up.Whenever it is sunny,there is the power.The power is clean and renewable.It helps to reduce waste and pollution,which is great for the environment.In the areas that are too far away to send electricity to or not easy to build electric power plants,solar power is especially necessary.It enables the people there to use lights,TVs,computers,washing machines,fridges and many other things.
Therefore,more and more countries,such as China,the USA,Japan and India,encourage scientists to develop practical technology to put solar power to use.However,the power is not as widely used as expected.
One of the challenges is that a solar power system needs sunshine.Countries or areas with a lot of rain,like the UK,are not suitable to develop such power systems.Secondly,a solar power plant requires a very large site to fix enough solar panels to collect sunlight and change it into electricity.Maybe an area in the desert would be one of the perfect places for such a plant to build.What’s more,solar panels are expensive at present though the energy itself doesn’t cost anything.
Today scientists are working hard to develop more practical and cheaper solar power systems.Maybe one day solar power will be one of the most important clean energies in our life.
Solar power is a kind of energy taken from________.

A.the air
B.the sun
C.the water
D.the ground

The underlined word“reduce”probably means________.

A.to make something less
B.to make something better
C.to make something more
D.to make something cleaner

What is the fourth paragraph of the passage mainly about?

A.The ways to use solar power.
B.The advantages of solar power.
C.The places to build the solar power plants.
D.The difficulties of putting solar power to use widely.

What can we learn from the passage?

A.Solar energy itself is expensive.
B.Solar power will be used up very soon.
C.Solar power is a kind of clean and useful energy.
D.Solar power is much better than the other energies.
