Many people are looking for ways to solve it. A Dutch artist has made a tower that takes in smog and gives off clean air. This tower is 7 metres tall and is the biggest air cleaner in the world, according to Chinanews.com. It can clean the air in an area the size of a soccer field in 36 hours. Beijing has been testing the tower since January. But some experts dont think this tower can truly work. Its more of an art piece to raise peoples awareness(意识) of air protection, they said. People will know if the tower works when the results come out.TeensThe Worlds Worst Traffic If we travel in big cities, its very likely that we will come across traffic jams, which often make us complain. But people in Bangkok, Thailand, have more to complain about. This is because Bangkok has the worst evening rush hour traffic in the world, according to a GPS company in Europe. Each year, the company will work out a list of the worlds most congested(拥堵的) cities. The results are based on statistics(数据) of 390 cities across the world.

Besides the earth, the “red planet” is seen, as the one place in our solar system most likely to have life.Early last month, the first American robot, Spirit, landed on Mars without any problem. Opportunity, the second robot, landed on the planet more than a week ago. Scientists are very excited about these machines safe landing on Mars. It means that now we have an excellent chance to look for water and other signs of life. So far, the robots have found some stones that could show Mars was once a wet and warm planet.But the trips made by Spirit and Opportunity were dangerous. Mars is often called the “death planet”, because in the past its environment has been unfriendly to the robot explorers. Before Spirit and Opportunity, nearly forty spaceships had been sent to Mars since the 1960s. Two-thirds of them failed. The first spaceship, Korabl, sent in 1962 by Russia was among them. It broke apart (分裂) near the earth.（1）For a long time humans think _.A . they can surely find life on MarsB . there may be life on MarsC . its too late for them to explore Mars nowD . Mars is the only planet that has life on it（2）The two robots _.A . have found out that it is warm and wet on MarsB . were sent to Mars to find some stonesC . were the first two American robots that landed on MarsD . are the only machines that have landed on Mars so far（3）The third paragraph mainly tell us _.A . its a very hard and dangerous trip for spaceships to MarsB . two-thirds of the spaceships sent to Mars have failedC . Spirit and Opportunity landed on Mars successfullyD . Mars is called the “death planet”4. （6分） Have you ever heard an echo of your voice?An echo is a reflected(反射)sound. Stand in a very large, empty hall with nothing on the walls. Then shout. The sounds you make will hit the walls and come back to you. The walls reflect the sounds. These reflected sounds are called “echoes”.We can use reflected sound to make sound travel farther. Hold a watch about fifty centimeters from your ear. You cannot hear it. The sound of the watch travels a short way in all directions. It does not travel as far as your ear. You can make it travel to your ear by using a roll of cardboard(纸板筒).Make the roll of cardboard about fifty centimeters long. Put one end over your ear and hold the watch at the other. Now you can hear the watch because the sound has not gone in all directions. It is reflected down the roll to your ear.A megaphone(喇叭筒)works in the same way. It makes sound travel farther. It reflects the sound into a beam which can travel a long way. In the ship, the sailor uses the megaphone to make his voice travel. Without the megaphone, his voice cannot travel far.We use reflected sound in many ways. We use it to measure the depth of the sea, for example. Among the animals, bats and whales use reflected sound to tell them where they are and what things are near them.（1）Which is the right order of hearing our echo in a very large, empty hall?a. We hear the reflected sound b. The sound returns to usc. The sound hits the walls d. We make a soundA . c, b, a, dB . c, a, b, dC . d, c, b, aD . d, b, c, a（2）From the text we learn that _ .A . reflected sound is useful only to blind peopleB . people havent made use of reflected sound yetC . bats use reflected sound to fly and get foodD . whales dont use reflected sound as they live in the sea（3）If you havent got a megaphone, _ will help you to make your voice travel farther.A . a long piece of woodB . a roll of cardboardC . a thin threadD . a long piece of silk5. （8分）阅读理解Okay to Eat?At least 50% of U.S. adults have eaten food off the floor. Thats according to a 2017 Harris Poll. Many people use the five-second rule. The rule says that fallen food is safe to eat if it has been on the floor for less than five seconds. Can people really use the five-second rule to save a dropped sandwich? Or should they throw it and make a fresh one?Donald Schaffner is a professor of food science. His study shows that the five-second rule should not always be used. In his 2016 report, he says its not wise to eat dropped wet food. The wet food takes in bacteria (细菌 ) as soon as it falls. Bacteria dont have legs, they move with the moisture, Schaffner says. The wetter the food is, the more bacteria it soaks up(吸收) .Anthony Hilton studied the five-second rule too. He is a professor of Life and Health Sciences.Hilton found that a dry food on the floor collects fewer bacteria than a wet food. Hilton also found that carpeted floors pass fewer bacteria than wood floors. Still, one should be careful. Food that is on the floor is never completely risk-free to eat, he says. But if you drop a dry food in your house, its usually okay if you pick it up very quickly. Most clean homes dont have bad bacteria.Should you eat food that was dropped on the kitchen counter? Dr. Steven Dowshen is a doctor for children. He says that floors are not the only place that can make food unsafe to eat. Kitchen counters can contain more harmful bacteria, Dowshen told TFK. This is because raw foods sometimes have bad bacteria called salmonella. These raw foods can be on kitchen counters. If people eat food off a surface that has salmonella, they can get very sick, says Dowshen.With the five-second rule, the type of food and the place where it falls matter. So perhaps use this e instead: When in doubt, throw it out.（1）Whats Donald Schaffners opinion about the five-second rule? A . The five-second rule should always be used.B . The drier the food is, the more bacteria it takes in.C . Its a good choice to eat the dropped wet food.D . The minute the wet food falls, it soaks up bacteria.（2）The underlined word risk-free probably means “ ”. A . deliciousB . dangerousC . safeD . easy（3）What can you infer from the passage? A . People should not eat a dropped sandwich on any places.B . People cannot eat food that is on the floor because of salmonella.C . People need to consider the type of the dropped food before eating.D . People should be careful about the food dropped on the kitchen counter.（4）Whats the writers purpose of writing the passage? A . To introduce the five-second rule to people.B . To encourage people to use the five-second rule.C . To show different peoples opinions about the five-second rule.D . To advise people to think twice before using the five-second rule.三、 任务型阅读(本题有4小题；每小题1分，共4分) (共1题；共4分)6. （4分）根据短文内容,完成下列任务。Peter, Jack, Sam, Bob and John are on our school basketball team.
