Question

There is not enough oil in the world now. As time goes by, it becomes less and less, so what are we going to do when it runs out? Perhaps we will go back to use horses, carriages and bicycles.

In the Second World War, some people didn’t use gas(氣體) made from petroleum (石油) in their cars. They made gas from wood and plants instead. The car didn’t go fast, but they ran, so this was better than nothing. However, in the future, we can’t cut down all our trees to make gas; we need our trees for other things, too.

Besides different types of gas, we can also use electricity to run our cars, but first we must make the electricity! Some countries have coal(煤炭) and they make electricity with that, but we might not always have coal, either. Other countries have big, strong rivers, and they can use the power of water to turn turbines (渦輪機(jī)) and make electricity more easily and cheaply.

We are also able to get power from the ocean tides(潮). We put turbines into the mouth of the river. Then the tide comes in, the water turns the turbines and then it goes out, it turns them again.

Which of these ways will be used to run our cars in the future?

1.When might people have to go back to use horses and carriages?

A. When they are poor.

B. When they run out of oil.

C. When they need more exercise.

D. When there aren’t any big trees in the world.

2.What did some people use to make gas in the Second World War?

A. Water             B. Coal                C. Wood and plants D. Tides

3.How many ways are suggested to make electricity in the passage?

A. 2                   B. 5                   C. 4                    D. 3

4.According to the passage, which of the following statements is True?

A. There is more petroleum than we can use now.

B. Trees are needed for some other things besides making gas.

C. We got electricity from ocean tides in the old days.

D. Gas wasn’t used to run cars in the Second World War.

5.The passage is mainly about _________.

A. how to run our cars                     

B. what to do when oil runs out

C. different types of gas                   

D. the ways to make electricity

5.B

【解析】

試題分析：世界上沒有足夠的石油。隨著時間的推移，它變得越來越少，所以我們要做什么當(dāng)它用盡之后？或許我們將回頭使用馬，馬車和自行車。第二次世界大戰(zhàn)中，有些人沒有使用氣體從石油在他們的車。他們使氣體從木材和植物來代替。汽車開不快，但他們跑，所以這也聊勝于無。然而，在未來，我們不能砍倒所有的樹來制造天然氣；我們需要我們的樹木做其他的事情。

除了不同類型的氣，我們也可以使用電力驅(qū)動汽車，但首先我們必須發(fā)電！一些國家有煤炭，他們用煤發(fā)電，但我們不會總是有煤。其他大國家，有強(qiáng)大的河流，他們可以利用水的力量推動渦輪機(jī)，使電力更容易和便宜。我們也能從海洋潮汐能發(fā)電。我們把渦輪機(jī)到河口。然后在漲潮，水就變成了渦輪機(jī)，然后出電。這些方法將用于運(yùn)行我們的汽車在未來？

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題：什么時候人們可能不得不回到使用馬和車？分析第一自然段出示了答案，現(xiàn)在世界上沒有足夠多的石油。故選 B。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題：在第二次世界大戰(zhàn)中人們用什么來制造蒸汽？原文：In the Second World War, some people didn’t use gas(氣體) made from petroleum (石油) in their cars. They made gas from wood and plants instead.句意：第二次世界大戰(zhàn)中，有些人沒有使用氣體從石油在他們的車。他們使用氣體從木材和植物來代替。故選C。

3.計算及細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題：短文中提到多少種建議去發(fā)電？有三種，分別是：coal、strong rivers、the ocean tides。故選 D。

4.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。通過這個信息，哪個信息是正確的？分析選項：A. There is more petroleum than we can use now.描述與事實相反。B. Trees are needed for some other things besides making gas.樹除了制作汽體還有其他用途（不正確）C. We got electricity from ocean tides in the old days.在舊社會我們得到電是從海潮中來。（不正確）D. Gas wasn’t used to run cars in the Second World War.在二戰(zhàn)中汽體沒有用在小汽車上。（正確）故選B。

5.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。這個短文主要講述什么？總結(jié)全文得到描述石油用盡后我們做什么。故選 B。
