Passage OneCan Animals Be Made to Work for UsCan animals be made to work for us? Some scientists think that one day animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs that are now done by human beings.They point out that at a circus (马戏团)，for example, we may see elephants, monkeys, dogs and other animals doing quite skillful things. Perhaps you have seen them on television or in a film. If you watch closely, you may notice that the trainer always gives the animal a piece of candy or a piece of fruit as a reward. The scientists say that many different animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs if they know they will get a reward for doing them..16.

In order to get the maxi-mum life out of a automobile, you must provide it with proper maintenance. Proper maintenance can reduce air pollution, extend the value of the vehicle, save on fuel bills, prevent breakdowns, and lead to better performance.You should change the oil in all of your vehicles every 3,000 miles. Whenever you change the oil you can also change the oil filter. Oil filters remove dirt and debris(废物，垃圾) from oil. As the car runs the oil filter will become clogged with excess debris from the oil. In order for an engine to run, it also requires air. This air must6 be filtered to shop dirt from damaging the en- gine. Every time you change the vehicle’s oil you should inspect the car for any unexpected wear and tear.Due to the performance and sheer heat of combustion car engines become very hot. Anti-freeze（防冻剂，抗凝剂）is used as a coolant for your vehicle system. This coolant should be replaced every two years. By doing this you extend the life of your radiator(散热器). Other fluids that require maintenance at 60,000 miles include brake fluid, transmission fluid, and power steering fluid.The use of properly inflated and well maintained tires is critical. The tire that holds the car to the road is your first line of safety. Tires usually have a life expectancy (寿命) dictated by the manufacturer. It is recommended that you follow his life expectancy which usually averages 3,000 miles.A vehicle should be driven properly by not exerting extra stress. Extra stress can lead to overheating. Overheating is the prime cause of premature life of belts, gaskets( 密封垫), hoses, and seals. If any of these parts become a problem it is a much better idea to replace the part than to repair it.21. On average, how many times a year should a year should a North American driver change their oil?( A )A 422. How often should you stabilize the temperature of internal damage?( C )C Four times a year23. What fluid helps stabilize the temperature of your car?( D )D Antifreeze24. How can driving excessive speeds damage your automobile internally?( A )A They premature life of automobile parts and devices25. Following manufacturers guidelines, after how many oil changes would you expect that the basic tire needs to be replaces? ( D )D. 10Passage ThreeAmerica is in no immediate danger of “running out of water”.People in the West have always been aware that water is a precious commodity an must be conserved. In the damp East, an excess of water led to complacency until two factors created concern over our water supply. First, the periods of drought from 1961 to 1966 in the Northeast affected crop production and used up the surface and ground water supplies. Second, attention was called to the rapid increased ur-ban and industrial growth. As a result, there is an increasing awareness of the need for conserving both the quantity of our nation’s water supplies.Water is a renewable resource, but it is not inexhaustible. When used for municipal, Indus-trial, or agricultural purposes, it is not destroyed, but generally finds its way back into our water supply .This used water now carries some water now carries some waste materials. These dirty waters are often dumped into large bodies of water or are disposed of on land. In the latter instance, evaporation concen-trates some of the wastes on the soil surface. On the other hand, water moving through the soil will eventually carry some of the wastes down into the ground water supplies. Eventually, all water evaporates and later returns to the earth as rain or snow in a relatively pure state.26. The passage is mainly about_______.( C )C. The importance of water conservation27.
