Recently, a solar-powered （太阳能动力的） plane took to the sky for the first time. It passed an important test on the way to travel around the world.
The plane took off from an airport（飞机场）in Switzerland. It slowly rose above the fields and into the sky.
“There has never been an airplane of that kind that could fly—never an airplane so big, so light, using so little energy.” said Bertrand Piccard, a leader of the project.
During the 90-minute flight （飞行）, the plane did several turns. It climbed nearly 1. 6 km above the countryside.
Engineers（工程师）plan to test a night flight（飞行）before July. Then they will use the results（结果）of the tests to build a second plane. They plan to travel around the world in that plane in 2012.
“We want to fly it day and night with no fuel（燃料）,” Piccard said. Piccard and pilot （飞行员）Andre Borschberg will take the plane around the world. They will make a few stops to change places and rest after a long time in the air--and to show off their airplane.
The plane will fly at 70 km per hour on average（平均）. That is faster than a bike and slower than a car. The pilots will keep the plane in the air for up to five days at a time.

【解析】【分析】短文大意：最近，太阳能飞机首次飞上天空，它通过了环游世界的一项重要测试。

（1）a postcard 一张明信片，a newspaper一份报纸，a comic book一本漫画书，an advertisement一则广告，通读全文可知本文是关于太阳能飞机首次飞行的报道，应该是在报纸上才能看到的内容，故选B。

（2）根据第三段内容“There has never been an airplane of that kind that could fly—never an airplane so big, so light, using so little energy.” said Bertrand Piccard, a leader of the project.可知选项A和B错误；根据文章内容Engineers（工程师）plan to test a night flight（飞行）before July. 可知工程师们计划在7月之前测试夜间飞行，故C错误，正确答案是 D。

（3）根据最后一段内容 The plane will fly at 70 km per hour on average（平均）.平均每小时飞行70千米，那么飞行140千米大约需要2小时，故选C。

（4）通读全文可知文章中为提到的是选项D。

Once upon a time, there lived an old man. He had three sons. One day, he called them together and said, "Sons, I will die soon. To my eldest son give half my camels, to my second, one third （三分之ー）, and to my youngest, one ninth（九分之一）." Soon after that he died.
The old man had seventeen camels, and the three brothers didn't know how to do as their father said. They thought for a long time about the problem, and it seemed that they must either kill some of the camels and cut them into pieces, or disobey their father. At last, they went to their father's old friend and asked for his advice. As soon as he heard their story, he said. "I will help you. I was a good friend of your fathers. I am old. I have only one camel, but take it. It is yours."
The three sons thanked the old man and took his camel. Now they found it was easy to do as their father wished. The eldest took half—that was nine camels; the second took one third—that was six; and the youngest took one ninth—that was two.
After each had got his camels, they found that there was still a camel there. To show their thanks to their father's friend, they gave the camel back to him.
