You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite (相反的) direction to the chair next to it.When the music starts, the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction, of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out. Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away.

The Greek god Helios was said to drive the sun around the sky with his chariot（战车）. But now, these ideas have all changed. Nowadays, it is the sun that drives our “chariot”around the sky.So what does all this mean? Well, quite simply, there is now a plane （or “chariot”） that is powered by the sun. It has special parts in its wings. These parts absorb power from the sun. They absorb so much power that they can carry on flying at night. In the Greek myths（希腊神话）, Helios had to take a break at night. It seems were finally even more efficient than the gods themselves.This plane is called Solar Impulse （“太阳驱动”号）. It will fly across the US in May. This is very important for the future of the world.So why is solar energy so good for us? Well, other kinds of energy cause a few problems. If you live in China, youve probably noticed the pollution. This is caused by burning coal or gas to make energy. The heat and chemicals（化学制品）from this make things work. But if we use the heat from the sun, we dont have to burn anything, and theres no pollution.Solar energy is not all there yet. It needs to be improved. But the best thing about it is that, unlike coal and gas, it doesnt run out. Solar Impulse could keep flying forever. Well, actually, the sun will run out too, one day, but not for another 5 billion years. Thats a pretty long flight.（1）What does “chariot” really refer to in the last sentence of Paragraph 1?A . The EarthB . The Greek godC . Solar Impulse.D . Birds.（2）Which of the following is TRUE of Solar Impulse?A . It can only fly at nightB . It has already flown across the USC . It is powered by the sun.D . It needs gas to work.（3）In the passage, what is mentioned as the cause of pollution in China?A . OverpopulationB . Burning coal or gasC . Using solar energy.D . Heavy traffic.（4）What does the writer mean by “Thats a pretty long flight”?A . It takes a lot of time to get Solar Impulse going.B . Solar Impulse moves very slowly.C . Solar Impulse will be in use for a long time.D . Solar Impulse has a long way to go to take the place of the sun.（5）The passage is most probably taken from_.A . a Greek mythB . a science fictionC . a story-bookD . a science magazine14. （8分）A thirsty crow (乌鸦)comes across(偶然遇到) a bottle of water, but the water level is out of its reach. The bird then drops some stones into it and gets the water.“Its just a story,”you may think. But new research has found that crows brains may sometimes be better than those of 6-year-old children.In a recent experiment, American scientist Corina Logan and her team caught six crows to test them. The crows and children had to choose between two sets of tubes(试管). They had to drop stones in and get water.With the red set, when they dropped a stone into a wide tube, the water level raised in a connected narrow tube. The blue set of tubes, however, had no connection between them.Children aged 7 to 10 were able to learn the rule. Children aged 4-6, however, failed.Five of the six crows failed the test. But Kitty, a 6-month-old crow, passed it. She put most of the stones into the red tubes.So, could a bird be more clever than a kindergartner? Dont be too quick to say no.（1）The first paragraph is _ about crows.A . a piece of newsB . a storyC . a truth（2）_ failed the test?A . KittyB . Children aged 7 to 10C . Children aged 4 to 6（3）From the text, we know crows brains may _ be better than those of 6-year-old children.A . sometimesB . alwaysC . never（4）How many crows did the team do the experiment on?A . 5B . 6C . 7（5）What does the underlined word kindergartner mean?A . 幼儿园小朋友B . 幼儿园教师C . 幼儿园15. （8分）阅读理解。Chinas air pollution problems are more serious these days.

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 didnt use gas made from petroleum(石油) in their cars. They made gas from wood and plants instead. The car didnt go fast, but they ran, so this was better than nothing. However, in the future, we cant 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?（1）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 arent any big trees in the world.（2）What did some people use to make gas in the Second World War?A . Water.B . Coal.C . Wood and plants.D . Tides.（3）How many ways are suggested to make electricity in the passage?A . 2.B . 5.C . 4.D . 3.（4）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 wasnt used to run cars in the Second World War.（5）The passage is mainly about _.A . how to run our carsB . what to do when oil runs outC . different types of gasD . the ways to make electricity四、 口语应用 (共1题；共1分)17. （1分）根据对话内容从方框中选择能填入空白处的最佳选项补全对话。其中有两项多余A：Hi, Jane!
