     China_is_going_green. In order to reduce air pollution and oilshortages, automobile manufacturers
have announced their plans to develop hybrid vehicles (混合燃料汽車) for the Chinese market.
Toyota's hybrid car Prius will be ready to drive in China this week. Let's have a look at the new car.
     Any vehicle is a hybrid when it combines two or more sources of power. Hybrid cars run off a
rechargeable battery and gasoline. Hybrid cars have special engines, which are smaller than traditional
gasoline engines. They run at 99 percent of their power when the car is cruising (勻速行駛). A specially
designed battery motor provides extra power for running up hills or when extra acceleration is needed.
     Step into a Prius, and turn on the engine. The first thing you notice is how much quieter it is than a
traditional car. At this point, the car's gasoline engine is dormant (休眠). The electric motor will provide
power until the car reaches about 24 km/h. If you stay at a low speed, you are effectively driving an
electric car, with no gasoline being used, and no waste gas gives off.
     The onboard(車載的) computer makes the decision about when to use a gas engine, when to go
electric, and when to use a combination of the two. If you go over 24 km/h, when you step on the gas
pedal (油門), you are actually telling the computer how fast you want to go.
     The electronic motor recharges automatically using a set of batteries. When driving at high speed, the
gasoline engine not only powers the car, but also charges the batteries. Any time you use the brake, the
electric motor in the wheels will work like a generator and produce electricity to recharge the batteries.
     As a consequence, the car's batteries will last for around 200,000 miles.

1. The author writes this passage mainly to________.
A. teach people how to drive a hybrid car
B. introduce a new kind of "green" car
C. show how to save their gasoline when driving a car
D. announce plans to develop hybrid vehicles for China

2. The first sentence probably refers to ________.
A. there will be more and more green land in China
B. China is still young and lacking experience
C. China's new cars are combinations of different green models
D. China has started producing environmentally friendly cars

3. Which of the followings is NOT true?
A. The hybrid cars reduce air pollution and oilshortages.
B. The car's gasoline engine doesn't work until it reaches about 24 km/h.
C. This kind of car is completely controlled by an onboard computer.
D. A specially designed battery motor provides extra power when needed.

4. What is the most important feature of hybrid cars?
A. They are powered by both a rechargeable battery and gasoline.
B. They are much quieter than traditional cars.
C. They only use 99 percent of their power to run up hills.
D. They have smaller engines than traditional gasoline ones.

5. What can we conclude from the story?
A. The batteries can be recharged at any time you want.
B. Using the brake suggests that the gasoline engine should work.
C. The batteries will last for 200, 000 miles without being recharged.
D. The gasoline engine charges the batteries as well as powers the car.

第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題，每題2分，滿分40分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。
A
A Chinese graduate’s record – setting $8,888,888 donation to his school at Yale University has caused wide debate at home.
The donation will primarily help build the new SOM campus, while part of it will provide scholarship support for the International Relations Program at Yale's new Jackson Institute of Global Affairs, as well as fund(資助) a variety of China-related activities at the university.
Some asked why Zhang Lei, who graduated from Yale less than 10 years ago, chose an overseas institution rather than Renmin University, his alma mater (母校), for the donation. But a larger group of online users voiced support for Zhang's move and said there is still room for improvement regarding management of universities in China.
"We should look at this news from an international standpoint," said Chi Fulin, professor and president of China Institute for Development and Reform. Chi said although Yale gets the money,  the donation will also benefit China.
"It will promote more Sino-US exchange programs, and more Chinese will be involved in these exchanges." He said that China also has received a lot of support and funding from overseas donors, and Zhang's move should be regarded with "respect, understanding and encouragement".
In terms of cultural and educational exchanges between China and the US, a larger part of financial aid comes from non – government organizations. "China should also try to attract more donations through such channels in the future," he said.
Zhang said Yale changed his life and taught him the spirit of giving. "Yale has been helping China for more than 100 years. he said, “Many Chinese leaders were educated at Yale. But the relationship has been one-way for too long and I want to help change that."
Zhang, who graduated from the Yale School of Management in 2002, worked for the Yale Investments Office. In 2005, Zhang founded Hillhouse Capital Management Ltd, a Beijing-based investment fund that manages $2.5 billion.
56．Zhang Lei contributed such a large sum of money to Yale just         .
A．to relieve the situation that Yale was lacking in money
B．to pay Yale back for the free education he received
C．to help change the pattern of the one – way assistance
D．to promote the relationship between China and the US
57．What’s the writer’s attitude towards Zhang Lei’s donation to Yale?
A．objective  B．supportive C．opposed    D．unconcerned
58．From the passage, we can see professor Chi Fulin argues that         .
A．more Chinese should be involved in donating money to US
B．the behavior of Zhang Lei is respectable and deserves praise
C．government organizations matter much in exchange programs
D．universities in China should take management more seriously
59．As for Zhang Lei,          .
A．his generosity made him world – famous overnight
B．his company mainly serves the Yale Investments Office
C．Yale shaped his life and taught him the spirit of giving
D．he considers Yale his preference to Renmiu University
60．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A．Act of Kindness set a record
B．Individual donation makes a difference
C．A new page for Sino – US relationship
D．Donation to Yale caused debate

閱讀下面短文，請根據(jù)短文的要求答題。（請注意問題后的字數(shù)要求）  
    In the United States, friends can be close, constant, intense, generous, and real, yet fade away in a shorttime
if circumstances change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christ- mas greetings for a year or
two, perhaps a few letters for a while then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years
later, they pick up the friendship where it left out and are de- lighted.      
     In the United States, you can feel free to visit people's homes, share their holidays, enjoy their lives without
fear that you are tak ing on a lastinS obligation (負擔). Do not hesitate to accept hospi tality (熱情款待) because you can't give it in return. No one will expect you to do so for they know you are far from home. Americans
will enjoy welcoming you and be pleased if you accept their hospi tality easily.     
     Once you arrive there, the welcome will be full, warm and re al. Most visitors find themselves readily
invited into many homes there. In some countries it is considered inhospitable to entertain (招待) at home,
offering what is felt as only home-cooked food, not " doing something for your guest". It is felt that restaurant
entertaining shows more respect and welcome. Or for other different reasons, such as crowded space, language difficulties, or family custom, out- siders are not invited into homes.     
      In the United States, both methods are used, but it is often considered more friendly to invite a person to
one's home than to go to a public place, except in purely business relationships. So, if your host or hostess___,
do not feel that you are being shown inferior (差的,低級的 ) treatment.     
     Don't feel neglected (被輕視的) if you do not find flowers a- waiting you in your hotel room, either.
Flowers are very expensive there, hotel delivery is uncertain, arrival times are delayed, changed, or canceled
(取消)-so flowers are not customarily sent as a welcoming touch. Please do not feel unwanted! Outward
signsvary in different lands, the inward welcome is what matters, and this will be real.
1. What's the best title of the text? ( Please answer within 5 words. )
________________________________________________________________________________________
2. Which sentence in the text is similar in meaning to the following one?    
    Americans gladly continue their friendships after a chance encounter even if several years have passed.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
3. Fill in the blank in the fourth paragraph with proper words. ( Please answer within 6 words. )
__________________________________________________________________________________________
4. For what purpose does the writer mention flowers in the last par agraph? ( Please answer within 15 words. ) _________________________________________________________________________________________
5. Translate the underlined part in the second paragraph into Chi nese.
