500 years ago in Britain, the burning of coal (煤) was increasing in cities like London. Coal was used in factories and also used to heat homes. Coal, when burnt makes a lot of smoke, which makes the air very dirty.
About 200 years ago, the Industrial Revolution (工業(yè)革命) began in Britain. Factories were built, and even more coal was burnt. Air pollution was becoming a really big problem.
Smoke and fog together make smog (煙霧). Smog was a big problem in London's winter. Because of the cold weather, more coal was burnt to warm houses and this made more smoke.
When smog stayed over a city, it became really hard to breathe and see clearly. In 1952, the Great London Smog happened and more than 4,000 people died because of the smog.
New laws (法律) were made in 1956 and 1968 to stop such sad things from happening again. These laws were called the Clean Air Acts.
These laws were made so that air would become cleaner. The laws encouraged people to use less coal or switch to other fuels such as gas. Factories started using tall chimneys (煙囪) so that the smoke would go high up in the sky and no longer cover cities, and new factories were built in the countryside. Smog appeared less often and the air became cleaner.
小題1:From the passage, we learn that smog was a big problem in ______ in London.
A．springB．summerC．a(chǎn)utumnD．winter
小題2:The underlined words "switch to" mean "______"  in Chinese.

C．More People began to ride bikes.
D．New factories were built outside cities.
小題4:Which is the best title for the passage?

C．Smog Is Bad for the Environment.
D．New Laws to Stop Air Pollution.

Learn to protect yourselves. If you have to go home late, you should let your mother or your father know.

Can you swim? Do you like swimming? Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I’m afraid you’ll never learn to swim just by reading books about Swimming or looking at others swimming. It’s the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.
Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn’t matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word.
Somebody may be a good listener, but he is afraid to speak because he’s afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don’t be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone as long as he knows English. When there’s nobody to talk with, you can talk to yourself in English. It’s interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you’ll make.
Reading and writing are more important for senior（年級(jí)較高的）school students. First we must choose the books we’re interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is very important.
It’s easier said than done. Well, let’s do more practice from now on. I’m sure you’ll learn English well in this way.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從題中所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選擇最佳答案。（10分）

Peter is a sixth-grader at Woodland Primary School. He is only 12 years old but has been smoking for three years. John, 15, is a Junior 2 student at Woodland Secondary School. He began smoking four years ago. “Smoking is part of my life,” John said. Peter and John are not those boys’ real names. But their problem, smoking, is a very real problem.

Millions of people around the world cook their food on fire every day. People must spend lots of money on cooking fuel. However, there is a much easier and cheaper way to cook food using energy from the sun.
Sun-cookers have been used for centuries. A Swiss scientist made the first sun-cooker in 1777. Today, people are using sun-cookers in many countries around the world. People use them to cook food and to heat drinking water.
There are three kinds of sun-cookers. The first is a box cooker. It is designed with a special wall that collects sun-shine into the box. A box cooker is good for slow cooking of a lot of food.
The second kind of sun-cooker is a panel cooker. It has several flat walls that concentrate the sun-shine on the food. People can build panel cookers quickly. They do not cost much. In Kenya, for example, panel cookers cost just two dollars.
The third kind of sun-cooker is a parabolic cooker. It has rounded walls that concentrate sunlight into the bottom of the cooker. Food cooks quickly in parabolic cookers. However, these cookers are hard to make. They must be moved again and again to follow the sun. Parabolic cookers can also cause burns and eye injuries if they are not used correctly.
You can make sun-cookers from boxes or heavy paper. They will not catch fire. Paper burns at 232℃. A sun-cooker never gets hotter than that. Sun-cookers cook food at low temperatures over long periods of time. This allows people to cook food and do other things at the same time.
小題1:What does the underlined word fuel mean?
A．燃料B．菜譜C．調(diào)料D．糧食
小題2:If you want to cook food quickly, which kind of sun-cooker is your best choice?
A．a(chǎn) box cookerB．a(chǎn) panel cooker
C．a(chǎn) parabolic cookerD．fire cooker
小題3:Which kind of sun-cooker costs very little?
A．a(chǎn) box cookerB．a(chǎn) panel cooker
C．a(chǎn) parabolic cookerD．fire cooker
小題4:Which of the following is TRUE?
A．The first sun-cooker was made by a Swiss soldier.
B．Sun-cookers often get hotter than 232℃.
C．Parabolic cookers can be dangerous sometimes.
D．It is more expensive to cook with a sun-cooker than on fire.
小題5:What is the best title of this passage?
A．How to Be a Good Cook?B．Cooking Meals With the Sun
C．How to Save Energy?D．Different Ways of Cooking

Will it matter if you don’t take your breakfast? A short time ago, a test was given in the US. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfast, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten different kinds of breakfasts.
The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, egg, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class.
The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help you lose weight(減輕體重).This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch. They will gain weight (增加體重 )instead of losing it. You will lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.
小題1:During the test, the people were given __________.
A．no breakfast at allB．different foods or sometimes none
C．very rich breakfastD．little food for breakfast
小題2:The results show that _________.
A．breakfast has great effect (影響) on work and studies.
B．breakfast has little to do with a person’s work
C．a(chǎn) person will work better if he only has fruit and milk.
D．girl students should have little for breakfast.
小題3:According to the passage, some people think that if you don’t have breakfast you will _______.
A．be healthierB．work betterC．lose weightD．lose your way
小題4: The word “reduce” in the last sentence means_________
A．增加B．減少C．放棄D．享用
