London used to be “foggy” for the same reason that cities like Beijing or Chongqing are “foggy” today.The “fog” was in fact smog, a mixture of smoke and fog.In other words, it was made by air pollution.In London, some of this pollution came from factories, but much of it came from the coal(煤)that people burnt in their houses to keep warm during the winter.By the 1950s, London’s smog problem had become so bad that the government decided to do something to clean the air.A new law was made and nobody could burn coal in any British city.Within a few years, the air became much cleaner.There were no more “pea-soupers”.
Many Chinese cities now face the same sort of problem with air pollution that London faced 40 or 50 years ago.However, this problem is more difficult for Chinese cities to solve.One reason is that more of the pollution comes from the factories, rather than from coal burnt in people’s houses.If these factories were closed, this would harm the economy and lots of people would lose their jobs.Another reason is that changing from coal to cleaner fuel(燃料), like gas, is quite expensive.
However, the air in many Chinese cities is becoming cleaner and cleaner, as the government and people pay more and more attention to cutting down pollution.As a result, there are fewer “pea-soupers”in Beijing than there used to be.
小題1:What was the main reason for air pollution in London?
A.There was too much smoke in the sky.

B.A law was made to keep people from burning coal in their houses.
C.Many factories in the city were closed.

小題3:What does the underlined work “pea-soupers”refer to?
A.SmogB.SmokeC.GasD.Coal
小題4:The problem of air pollution is more difficult for Chinese cities to solve because of ___ reasons.
A.oneB.twoC.threeD.four
小題5:Which sentence is Not true?

An astronaut’s work may sound exciting, but living in space isn’t as fun as you think. The website www.space.com lists the disadvantages of living in space. Here are some of them.
When astronauts work outside the station during spacewalks, they have to wear special gloves. The gloves are very tight. They can hurt the astronauts’ fingernails(手指甲) and even make them fall off.
In space, you don’t have many choices in what you eat. It’s hard to get fresh fruits and vegetables. It is not OK to eat bread because it leaves crumbs(碎屑). Crumbs could fly around everywhere.
In space, it is impossible to have a good shower because water can fly all over the ship and break the machines. Astronauts have to use a special water-shooting(噴水) gun and a washcloth.
Astronauts lose their bone strength quickly during their stay in space. So far, there is no way to solve this problem. They do exercise while they’re in space to try to keep their bones strong as long as possible.
Perhaps the hardest part of life in space is the feeling of loneliness. Astronauts sometimes have to spend weeks and even months away from Earth. They miss their friends and families.
小題1:People often think the life in space is       .

“How can I learn English well?” This is a question many students ask. In my opinion, the most effective way is to learn lessons by heart. If you can recite the text and write it out, you’ve learned it fairly well. And if you can tell, in your own words, what the lesson says you’re a very successful learner indeed. Your English will be quite perfect.
This is a difficult task. However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson, you’ll find it not half so hard as you might have thought.
Learning this way, you will make rapid progress. Of course, writing is also necessary. It helps you a lot on our way to success in English.
Equally important is to feel the language. You should be able to laugh at jokes and be shocked at bad news. When using English, try to forget your mother tongue. Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way. So, never try to see English through translation.
小題1:In the writer’s opinion, the most effective way in learning English is ________.
A.to practise speaking, writing and feeling it
B.to forget your own native language
C.to translate everything into his own language
D.to memorize the English words and grammatical rules
小題2:“Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way.”This sentence means that memorizing your own language can ________.
A.help you to study English well
