Quiz 5 习题及答案

姓名：___________________________ 班级：____________________________学号：___________________________ 日期：____________________________读写教程第一册，单元测试卷五试卷编号：Book1-Quiz5考试时间：120 分钟满分：100 分Part 1 Skimming and Scanning (True/False)(Each item: 2)Directions:Read the following passage. Then decide whether the following statements are True or False.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog.Time limitation: 4 minutes and 12 secondsWhat kind of car will we be driving in 2010? They would be rather different from the type we know today, with the next twenty years bringing greater change than the past fifty. The people who will be designing the models of tomorrow believe that environmental problems may well accelerate (加速) the pace of automotive design. Today they are students on the transport design course at London's Royal college of Art.Their vision (相象中的画面) is of a machine with three wheels instead of four, electrically powered, environmentally clean, and able to drive itself along "intelligent" roads equipped with built-in power supplies. Future cars will pick up their fuel during long journeys from a power source built into the road, or store it in small quantities for travel in the city.Instead of today's seating arrangements-two in front, two or three behind, all facing forward-the 2010 car will have a versatile (有许多用途的) interior with adults and children in a family circle.This view of the future car is based on a much more sophisticated (复杂的) road system, with strips built into motorways to supply power to vehicles passing along them. Cars will not need drivers, because computers will provide safe driving control and route finding. All the driver will have to do is say where to go and the computer will do the rest. It will become impossible for cars to crash (撞) into one another. The technology already exists for the car to become a true automobile.1. Those who will design the models of tomorrow believe that environmental problems will quicken change in cars.TF2. The car designers are most likely to believe that we will always have an imperfect world.TF3. From the passage we know that inside the future car, seats are arranged in a circle.TF4. A future road will direct a car to its destination.TF5. We can infer from the passage that it will be impossible for cars in the future to crash into one another because computers control the driving and find the route.TFPart 2 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice)(Each item: 2)Directions:Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.There were very few places in the world that Jules Verne, the writer, did not visit. He went round the world a hundred times or more. Once he did it in eighty days, unheard of in the nineteenth century. He voyaged 6,000 miles under the sea, went around the moon, explored the center of the earth, and chatted with natives in Australia.Jules Verne, the man, was a stay-at-home person. He was more likely to be tired from writing than from traveling. He did make a few visits to Europe and North America. And he made one 6-week tour of New York State. But that was all. He spent less than one of his 77 years traveling. Yet he was the world's most outstanding tourist. His books are crowded with hunting and fishing trips. Jules actually went hunting only once. Then he raised his gun and shot off the game officer's hat!He wasn't a scientist himself, but he encouraged many people to become scientists. Long before radio was invented, he had TV working in his books. His name for it was different, though. He had flying machines 50 years before the Wright brothers flew their first plane at Kitty Hawk. In fact, there were few wonders of the 20th century that this man of the 19th century did not see coming. In his stories you can read about air conditioning, tall buildings, advanced weapons, tanks, boats that can travel under the water, and airplanes.6. What was Jules Verne?A. A scientist.B. An inventor.C. A writer.D. A great traveler.7. What was unknown in the 19th century?A. Going under the sea.B. Going around the world in 80 days.C. Going to the moon.D.

They were wonders.C. They were working.D. They were ahead of their time.Questions 11 to 15 are based on the same passage or dialog.Once upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up.As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.As he got closer he called out, "Good morning! What are you doing?"The young man paused, looking up and replied, "Throwing starfish (海星) in the ocean.""Well then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?""The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don't throw them in they'll die.""But, young man, don't you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can't possibly make a difference!"The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the ocean, past the breaking waves and said, "It made a difference for that one."There is something very special in each and every one of us. All of us have a natural ability to make a difference. If we can become aware of that ability, we will have the power to shape the future.All of us must find our starfish. If we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be wonderful.11.

Soon the two fell in love and they were both very happy.But now it is almost time for Yukio to return to Japan. Yukio wants Cindy to return to Japan with him and marry him.
