| In 1901, H. G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the Explorers (探险者) landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the"moon people" they met.In turn, the"moon people" expressed their surprise."Why," they asked,"are you traveling to outer space when you don't even use your inner space?" H. G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the qu- estion that the "moon people" asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of acientists are seriously thinking about it. Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The"Chunnel", a tunnel (隧道) connecting England and France, is now complete. But what about underground cities? Japan's Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called"Alice Cities," The designers imagine using surface space for pubic parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome (太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city. Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth's space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness, H. G. Wells "moon people" would agree. Would you? |
| 1. The explorers in H. G. Wells, story were surprised to find that the "moon people"_____. |
| A. knew so much about the earth B. understood their language C. lived in so many underground cities D. were ahead of them in space technology |
| 2. What does the underlined word "it" (paragraph 2) refer to? |
| A. Discovering the moon's inner space. B. Using the earth's inner space. C. Meeting the "moon people" again. D. Traveling to outer space. |
| 3. What sort of underground systems are already here with us? |
| A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations. B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas. C. Gardens, car parks, power stations. D. Tunnels, gardens, offices. |
| 4. What would be the beat title for the text? |
| A. Alice Cities-cities of the future B. Space travel with H. G. Wells C. Enjoy living underground D. Building down, not up |

| LONDON (Reuters)-Organic fruit, dalivered right to the doorstep. That is what Gabriel Gold prefers, and he is willing to pay for it. If this is not possible, the 26 year-old computer technician will spend the extra money at the supermarket to buy organic food. "Organic produce is always better," Gold said,"The food is free of pesticides (农药), and you are generally supporting family farms instend of large farms. And more often than not it is locally(本地) grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty." Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business. But how many shoppers really know what they are getting, and why are they willing to pay a higher price for organic produce? Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences-but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete. For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products. And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported (进口) to meet growing demand ."The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market," said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business. |
| 1. More and more people in Britain are buying organic food because _____. |
| A. they are getting richer B. they can get the food anywhere C. they consider the food free of pollution D. they like home-grown fruit |
| 2. Which of the following statements is true to the facts about most organic produce sold in Britain? |
| A. It grows indoors all year round. B. It is produced outside Britain. C. It is grown on family farms. D. It is preduced on large farms. |
| 3. What is the meaning of "the organic trend" as the words are used in the text? |
| A. growing interest in organic food. B. better quality of organic food C. rising market for organic food. D. higher prices of organic food |
| 4. What is the best title for this news story? |
| A. Organic food-healthy, or just for the wealthy? B. The making of organic food in Britain. C. Organic food-to import or not? D. Good qualities of organic food |

| Treasure hunts (寻宝) have excited people's imagination for hundreds of years both in real life and in books such as Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. Kit Williams, a modern writer, had the idea of combining the real excitement of a treasure hunt with clues (线索) found in a book when he wrote a children's story, Masquerade, in 1979. The book was about a hare,and a month before it came out Williams buried a gold hare in a park in Bedfordshire. The book contained a large number of clues to help readers find the hare, but Williams put in a lot of "red herrings", or false clues, to mislead them. Ken Roberts, the man who found the hare, had been looking for it for nearly two years. Although he had been searching in the wrong area most of the time, he found it by logic (逻辑), not by luck.His success came from the fact that he had gained an important clue at the start. He had realized that the words: "One of Six to Eight" under the first picture in the book connected the hare in some way to Katherine of Aragon, the first of Henry VIII's six wives. Even here, however,Williams had succeeded in misleading him. Ken knew that Katherine of Aragon had died at Kimbolton in Cambridgeshire in 1536 and thought that Williams had buried the hare there. He had been digging there for over a year before a new idea occurred to him.He found out that Kit Williams had spent his childhood near Ampthill, in Befordshire, and thought that he must have buried the hare in a place he knew well, but he still could not see the connection with Katherine of Aragon,until one day he came across two stone crosses in Ampthill Park and learnt that they had been built in her honor in 1773. Even then his search had not come to an end. It was only after he had spent several nights digging around the cross that he decided to write to Kit Williams to find out if he was wasting his time there. Williams encouraged him continue, and on February 24 th 1982, he found the treasure. It was worth ￡3000 in the beginning, but the excitement it had caused since its burial made it much more valuable. |
| 1. The underlined word "them"(paragraph1) refers to _____. |
| A. red herrings B. treasure hunts C. Henry VIII's six wives D. readers of Masquerade |
|
2. What is the most important clue in the story to help Ken Roberts find the hare? |
| A. Two stone crosses in Ampthill B. Stevenson's Treasure Island C. Katherine of Aragon D. Williams' hometown |
| 3. The stone crosses in Ampthill were built _____. |
| A. to tell about what happened in 1773 B. to show respect for Henry VIII's first wife C. to serve as a roadsign in Ampthill Park D. to inform people where the gold hare was |
| 4. Which of the following describes Roberts' logic in searching for the hare? a. Henry VIII's six wives b. Katherine's burial place at Kimbolton c. Williams' childhood in Ampthill d. Katherine of Aragon e.stone crosses in Ampthill Park |

| A child's birthday party doesn't have to be a hassle; it can be a basket of fun, according to Beth Anaclerio, an Evaston mother of two, ages 4 and 18 months. "Having a party at home usually requires a lot of running around on the part of the parents,and often the birthday boy or girl gets lost in wild excitement. But it really doesn't have to be that way," said Anaclerio. Last summer, Anaclerio and her friend Jill Carlisle, a Northbrook mother of a 2-year-old, founded a home party-planning business called "A Party in a Basket." Their goal is to help parents and children share in the fun part of party planning,like choosing the subject or making a cake, while they take care of everything. Drawing on their experiences as mothers,they have created (制作)10 ready-to -use, home party packages. Everything a family needs to plan a party, except the cake and ice cream, is delivered to the home in a large basket. "Our parties are aimed for children 2 to 10", Anaclerio said," and they're very interactive (互动) and creative in that they build a sense of drama based on a subject. For example,at the Soda Shoppe party the guests become waiters and waitresses and build wonderful ice cream creations." The standard $ 200 package for eight children includes a basket filled with invitations, gifts, games and prizes, paper goods, a party planner and the like. For more information, call Anaclerio at 708-864-6584 or Carlisle at 708-205-9141. |
