     Car sharing is another way to drive green which is gaining in popularity, especially in urban areas. People
who may not drive every day but still want a car to run errands (差事) or drive on weekends benefit most
from car sharing. Car sharing is usually run by a service like Zipcar, though there are nonprofit (非營(yíng)利的)
and informal car sharing services. Members pay a monthly fee and have access to an entire fleet of cars when
they need one. The cars are parked in fixed spots around the city, so members only need to make a reservation,
and then go to the pick up spot.
     Car sharing has major environmental benefits because it reduces the number of cars on the road. Members
don't drive just because they are in a car. They plan trips, and if they don't need a car, they don't use one. Still,
a car is available to them if they need to make a big trip to the grocery store, pick someone up at the airport or
if they want to go to the beach for the day. Members also benefit by having access to a car without any of the
headaches of ownership. They usually don't have to pay for the gas, insurance or maintenance (保養(yǎng)), and the
monthly membership fee is less than a typical car payment. So if you really want to go green but aren't ready
to totally give up a car yet, car sharing may be the way to go.
     If you still need to get around, but want to go even greener than sharing a car, share a bus!
1. The author intends to tell us that car sharing ____.
A. has become the most popular way to go to work
B. has become the best way to cut living costs
C. is becoming more and more popular in cities
D. is becoming popular both in urban and rural (鄉(xiāng)村的) areas
2. We can learn from the passage that ____. 
A. Zipcar can't help you if you are running urgent errands
B. Zipcar, different from other services, is aimed at green driving with no profit
C. Zipcar is a company supplying car sharing services for a monthly payment
D. Zipcar is a company providing formal car sharing free
3. The second paragraph mainly tells us ____.
A. why people will share a car
B. why car sharing benefits the environment
C. why car sharing is cheaper than owning a car
D. why a car is available to members
4. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Car sharing has become a new trend (趨勢(shì)).
B. Car sharing can save you the headaches of ownership.
C. Bus sharing is even greener than car sharing.
D. Zipcar is the largest company offering car sharing services.

閱讀理解

　　People in Mutsuhito, Japan, lived through one hundreds, and sometimes thousands, a day．But they couldn’t get used to it．

　　What was it? It was a string of earthquakes that made the small town shake all the time．This went on for more than a year．Sometimes the quakes were very small．Only certain instruments could pick them up．At other times, the quakes damaged houses and land．The people were always afraid．They wished they knew how to stop the ground from shaking．

　　People all over the world would like to know when an earthquake is coming．But an earthquake is almost always a surprise．Under the surface of the Earth, huge blocks of rock drift apart or slide against each other．The ground above splits apart or rumbles and shakes．

　　Some scientists hope to predict quakes by keeping a close watch on animals．It seems that some animals can sense an earthquake coming．In 1969, animals in a Chinese zoo began to act funny one day．Swans flew out of their pond．A panda sat down, covered its eyes with its paws, and groaned．The animals seemed to know that something was about to happen．And it did．An earthquake struck．What was it that the animals sensed? Scientists are trying to find out．

　　Keeping close track of the Earth’s magnetic force in earthquake areas may also help．A few years ago, in Hollister, CA, scientists kept a record of the area’s magnetic pull．For one week, the force grew stronger．Then it weakened suddenly．A day later, an earthquake struck．

　　It may become possible to know when and where an earthquake will happen．But it will be much harder to stop one from happening．

　　Many scientists think that the Earth’s covering is not smooth．They say the earth’s “skin” is made up of huge puzzle pieces called plates．Land and ocean floors make up these huge plates．Under the Earth’s crust(外殼), or plates, is hot rock．The plates float on top of this rock．Sometimes the rock forces its way through the crust．What happens then? A volcano is born! More often, the rock moves and forces the plates to pull away from each other, causing earthquakes to happen．(Volcanoes and earthquakes often go together．)

　　Sometimes, the plates end up on top of each other．When this happens, the land above may look strange．Seen from the air, there seems to be a long scar in the Earth．This is called a fault(斷層)．The areas along faults have more earthquakes than other parts of the Earth．

　　For now, we’ll just have to shake along with the Earth．It goes through millions of small earthquakes every year．With luck, you won’t feel a thing!

(1)

In order to predict earthquakes, scientists can _______．

Which is wrong according to this passage?

[　　]

A．

keep a close watch on animals

B．

keep close track of the Earth’s magnetic force in earthquake areas

C．

keep inventing instruments to pick up every earthquake

D．

keep a record of earthquake area’s magnetic pull of force

(2)

When the rock forces its way through the Earth’s crust, _______．

[　　]

A．

a volcano is born

B．

an earthquake happens

C．

a fault forms

D．

the Earth’s covering becomes smooth

(3)

How does a fault form?

[　　]

A．

When California rests on two separate plates．

B．

When the plates end up on top of each other．

C．

Before an earthquake happens．

D．

After volcano comes．
