It was just three degrees above zero.“That’s cold”, thought Jane as she got ready to deliver(送)her morning papers . Jane had 50 customers(顧客),and on cold mornings when she couldn’t ride her bicycle , it took her more than an hour to make her rounds.

As she collected her papers and put them into a big canvas(帆布)bag , Jane regretted(后悔)that she hadn’t finished her maths homework the night before . There was still time . She would hurry with the papers and finish the maths before breakfast.

She could then go home to finish her maths homework while her Mom cooked breakfast . As she rounded the corner , she saw a car in the middle of the street . It was Mr Zimmerman , the elderly man who walked with a walking stick . His car was out of gas(汽油).

“I’d like to help Mr Zimmerman,” thought Jane ,“but if I do , I won’t have time to do my homework.” She hated to think what Mr Robert would say if she didn’t finish papers.

“It’s his own fault(錯(cuò)誤)for running out of gas,” Jane talked to herself. “The station is only a half mile down the street . Surely Mr Zimmerman can walk that far, even on a cold morning like this...can’t he?” As she walked down the street , Jane still wondered what to do.

Now cities are full of cars. Some families even have two or more cars. Parking is a great problem, and so is the traffic in and around the cities. Something will have to be done to change it.

What will the cars of tomorrow be like?

Little cars may some day take the place of today’s big cars. If everyone drives little cars in the future, there will be less pollution in the air. There will also be more space for parking cars in cities, and the streets will be less crowded. Three little cars can fit in the space now needed for one car of the usual size.

The little cars will cost much less to own and to drive. Driving will be safer, too. What is more, these little cars can go about 65 kilometers per hour.

Little cars of the future will be fine for getting around a city, but they will not be useful for long trips. If big cars are still used along with the small ones, two sets of roads will be needed in the future. Some roads will be used for the big, fast cars, and other roads will be needed for the slower small ones.

1.Cars in the future mustn’t bring ________ pollution in the air.

A. more B. fewer C. less D. no

2.The little car’s size may be ________ today’s car’s size.

The word, “photography”, was first used in 1839. It comes from the Greek words that mean “to write with light”. But photography could only give people static pictures. So scientists were trying hard to find ways to make pictures that can move. They made lots of experiments, but failed again and again. It was Eadweard Muybridge who finally succeeded. He was the first photographer to try this successfully. But how did he make it? It was an interesting story.

Back in 1872, people didn’t know exactly whether all four of a horse’s hooves (蹄) left the ground at the same time when it was running. A gentleman called Leland Stanford made a bet with his friend about it. Most people believed that a horse always had one hoof on the ground, or it would fall over. But Stanford didn’t think so.

At that time, it was hard to know who could win the bet, because a horse’s legs move so fast that it is impossible to tell just by looking. So they needed a way to record the movement of a running horse. Then Stanford offered $25,000 to the famous photographer, Muybridge, to help find the answer. In the beginning, Muybridge failed to get clear images, but he didn’t give up. He continued to improve his cameras. In 1878, after many experiments, he managed to get a sequence (連續(xù)) of 12 photos. One of them clearly showed that all four of the horse’s hooves were off the ground at the same time. And when the photos moved fast, people could see a horse running.

Though is usually considered as the person who created the first movie in 1889, it was the work of Eadweard Muybridge and the bet that led to Edison’s invention.

1.The underlined word “static” in Paragraph 1 most probably means _______.

A. pretty B. dark C. moving D. still

2.What did Leland Stanford make a bet with his friend about?

A. Whose horse ran faster.

B. whether a horse would fall over while running.

C. whether it was possible for scientists to make moving pictures.

D.Whether a horse’s hooves all left the ground at the same time while running.

3. Muybridge finally found the exact answer to the bet _______.

A. next year. B. at the same year.

C. after six years. D. after seventeen years.

4.Which is TRUE from the passage?

A. The word, “photography” means to make pictures that can move from the Greek words .

B. Leland Stanford made a bet with Edison in 1872.

C. It is very easy for Muybridgea to record the movement of a running horse.

D. Stanford believed all four of the horse’s hooves were off the ground at the same time.

5.The passage mainly tells us _______.

A. that Thomas Edison created the first movie .

B. that Eadweard Muybridge created the first static pictures

C. how photography helped people know more about animals

D. how Eadweard Muybridge got pictures of motion (移動(dòng)) successfully
