ATeenagers in England do much the same as children in America do. They enjoy sending messages by their mobile phones and they also like swimming, listening to the latest music, watching TV and surfing the Internet.How do teenagers in England spend their free time and holidays? Let’s follow Sally, a British teenager, and spend five days with her during her school holiday.Day OneAfter breakfast, Sally’s mother went out and left her alone at home. She checked her mobile phone during lunch —one of her friends sent her a message early in the morning. Dinner was at 6:30 p.m. After that, she finished her English homework. Then she surfed theDay TwoSally and her mother paid a visit to their friends and went swimming together. Later, they went shopping for clothes and books, and had dinner in a restaurant.Day ThreeShe went to the supermarket with her mother to buy fish and chips for lunch as well as some pens. After she got back home, she spent the next few hours surfing the Internet and watching TV.Day FourShe surfed the Internet. Her mother took her out for lunch before she went to work. She then read stories after lunch.Day FiveShe woke up at 2 p.m., and so did her mother. They went to a park. Her mother met some friends there. When they got home, it was already time for dinner. Afterwards, she did her homework until 10 p.m.31.

Which of the following things did Sally do on Day Four?A. She went swimming.B. She went out for breakfast.C. She read books.D. She went shopping.23. According to the passage, it can be inferred that ________.A. a park is the best place to meet a friendB. parents shouldn’t leave teenagers alone at homeC. teenagers don’t usually do their homework during their school holidaysD. surfing the Internet has become an important part of teenagers’ livesBAmericans get some of their news and entertainment from public television and radio. These public media receive money to operate from private citizens, organizations and government. Many of their programs are educational. But most of the American media are run by businesses for profit. These privately owned media have changed greatly in recent years. Newspapers, magazines and traditional broadcast television organizations have lost some of their popularity. At the same time, online, cable and satellite media have increased in numbers and strength. So have media that serve racial groups and those communicating in foreignIn general, more media than ever now provide Americans with news and entertainment. At the same time, fewer owners control them. Huge companies have many holdings(股份). In some areas, one company controls much of the media. One dramatic change in American media is the increased success of cable television. It comes into most homes over wires. It does not use the public airwaves to present programs, as broadcast television does. Like broadcast television, most cable television programs perform advertisements. This is true although people must pay to see cable television in their homes. Thirty years ago, few people had cable. Today, about sixty-eight percent of American homes have cable television. Television by satellite also is gaining popularity.Over the years, traditional broadcast organizations have tried to appeal to as many watchers as possible. Many cable companies, however, present programs for one special group of viewers. For example, there are cable stations for people who like books, cooking, travel, golf or comedy.24.Which of the following is true about American public media?A．They depend on the government.B．They are controlled by the governmentC．They are freeD．They can earn money.25.Which of the following properly shows the change in these privately owned media? A．Newspapers are getting more popular.B．Satellite media is getting more popular.C．Traditional media also serve racial groups.D．Some media make their programs in foreign languages26.From the second paragraph, we learn that .A．broadcast TV and cable TV programs include sales messagesB．more media are out of controlC．American media is dramaticD．cable TV is free27.What would be the best title for the text?A．American news and entertainmentB．Public television and radio mediaC．media in the United StatesD．Cable programs in the United StatesCIf two scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory are correct, people will still be driving gasoline powered cars 50 years from now, giving out heat-trapping carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）into the atmosphere—and yet that carbon dioxide will not contribute to global warming.In a proposal by two scientists, vehicle emissions (排放) would no longer contribute to global warming. The scientists, F. Jeffrey Martin and William L. Kubic Jr., are proposing a concept, which they have named Green Freedom, for removing carbon dioxide from the air and turning it back into gasoline.The idea is simple. Air would be blown over a liquid solution of potassium carbonate, which would absorb the carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide would then be put to chemical reactions that would turn it into fuel（燃料）: gasoline or jet fuel.This process could change carbon dioxide from an unwanted, climate-changing pollutant into a vast resource for renewable fuels. The cycle—equal amounts of carbon dioxide produced and removed—would mean that cars, trucks and airplanes using the synthetic (合成的) fuels would no longer be contributing to global warming.Although they have not yet built a synthetic fuel factory, or even a small model, the scientists say it is all based on existing technology. “Everything in the concept has been built, is operating or has a close cousin that is operating.” Dr. Martin said.The Los Alamos proposal does not go against any laws of physics, and other scientists who have independently suggested similar ideas. Dr. Martin said he and Dr. Kubic had worked out their concept in more detail than former proposals.There is, however, a major fact that explains why no one has built a carbon-dioxide-to-gasoline factory: it requires a great deal of energy.According to their analysis, their concept, which would cost about $5 billion to build, could produce gasoline at an operating cost of $1.40 a gallon and would turn economically practical when the price at the pump hits $4.60 a gallon.Other scientists said the Los Alamos proposal perhaps looked promising but could not evaluat e it fully because the details has not been published. “It's definitely worth pursuing,” said Martin I. Hoffert, a professor of physics at New York University. “It's not that new an idea. It has a couple of pieces to it that are interesting.”28. What is the concept of Green Freedom?A. Removing the emission of carbon dioxide.B. Reducing the carbon dioxide produced by car driving.C. Recycling the carbon dioxide into gasoline.D. Reserving the carbon dioxide for global warming.29. What is the v alue of the scientists’ proposal?A. It increases the productivity of a fuel factory.B. It decreases the cost of producing gasoline.C. It reduces the pollution caused by car driving.D. It promotes a new idea of environmental protection.30. The underlined part “has a close cousin that is operating” probably means the technologyin the concept ______.A. has been popular for so longB. has been ignored by many peopleC. is not appropriate for practiceD. will be put into practice in the near future31. What is the biggest challenge in realizing the concept Green Freedom?A. There is no theoretical basis.B. It is not economically practical.C. There is no solution to some technical problems.D. Only a few scientists support the idea.DFinding a winter job is often a proof that you’re growing up, and it’s also a method for earning money to pay for what you dream of.
