阅读理解。     Because earthquakes happen without warning, it"s important to take steps now to prepare. Because you
don"t know where you will be when an earthquake happens, prepare some supplies for your home, workplace,
and car.
    1. Water.
    A person needs at least 1/2 gallon of water daily just for drinking. Store at least 1 gallon of water per person
per day and be prepared for a 72-hour period. It is suggested that you buy bottled water. Keep bottled water
in its original container and do not open it until you need to use it. Also, do check the"use by" date.
    2. Food.
It"s always a practical idea to keep a supply of non-perishable(不易腐烂的) food on hand. Have an
enough supply of canned food, powdered milk, dried fruits, non-salted nuts and canned juices for at least 72
hours.
    3. Flashlights (手电筒) and spare batteries.
Keep a flashlight beside your bed, at your place of work, and in your car. Do not use matches or candles after
an earthquake until you are sure that no gas leaks. Prepare a battery-powered radio and spare batteries. Most
telephones will be out of order, so radios will be your best source of information.
    4. Clothes. 
    If you live in a cold place, you must think about warmth. You might not have heat after an earthquake. Think
about your clothing and bedding supplies. 1. Why should people prepare themselves for an earthquake? A. Because earthquakes can be known before they happen.
B. Because earthquakes take place without warning.
C. Because earthquakes usually take place in the neighborhood.
D. Because it"s people"s daily work to prepare the earthquakes. 2. About the prepared water, which description is RIGHT? A. A person should prepare 0.5 gallon of water for one day.
B. You"d better use your own containers to keep water.
C. You"d better open the bottled water when you buy it.
D. You shouldn"t open the bottled water until you need it. 3. You should prepare all of the following except ______. A. powdered milk
B. fresh vegetables

阅读理解。     What do people do with their old, out-of-date but still useful computers? Most people don"t know what to
do with them. Many old computers are put away in homes. Many more are simply thrown out with the rubbish.   Some companies are thinking of ways to bring down the number of old computers. Sony has agreed to help
recycle old Sony products. Dell, Hewlett-Packard and other companies now also take back some old computers.        In some countries, laws are being passed, too. Computer companies will have to collect and recycle their
used products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer
companies themselves should pay the cost. That will encourage them to make computers that are easier and
cheaper to repair and upgrade (升级).  
     Yet while many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of
organizations are working to solve this problem. They collect and repair old computers. Some also teach others
how to repair computers.  
     The computers then go to schools, charities and people who need them. Giving a used computer to one
of these organizations can turn one person"s rubbish into someone else"s useful things-and cut down on waste,
too.   1. How do people usually deal with their old computers?   A. They stop using them.
B. They give them to others.
C. They fix them up.   2. What do some computer companies do to bring down the number of old computers?    A. They don"t do anything about them.  
B. They take back some old ones.   
C. They donate them to some charities3. According to some countries" laws, what must computer companies do?    A. Collect and recycle most of computer waste.   
B. Repair and upgrade old computers.   
C. Make much cheaper computers.4. What may people who can"t afford computers think of the used computers?   A. Expensive.

阅读理解。     As space science develops, man has learned more and more about space. Space is not only amazing but
also dangerous. While working in space, spacemen are facing danger as well as success.
     Scientists have found out that the radiation (辐射) is the greatest danger to spacemen in space. When
spacemen are working in space, they are in danger of the radiation from the sun and other stars, which is
bad for their health. The harm of the radiation won"t be found until their children even grandchildren are born.

man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are satellites, 10% are spaceships, and the rest are
space rubbish. An explosion (爆炸) in space in 1999 made a cloud of 300,000 fragments, each at least 4mm
in size. A small piece of these even knocked a spaceship window and caused some damage (损坏).
      Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time. They are working to deal with
space rubbish. Although space is really dangerous, it interests many people on the earth. In the near future, it
may become possible for people to spend a few days in a space hotel. We may even choose to leave the earth
and live in space in a few years. So we should do something to help improve the space environment. 1. ______ shows the man-made things in space in the correct way.

阅读理解。     American schools are quite different from those in China. In America, at the beginning of the term,
students must select their courses and teachers first. While in China students usually have no chances to
select their courses and teachers.
     Selecting is very important for your grades in America. So at the first term, don"t select too many
courses, 4. or you"ll feel very nervous and it may influence your study. Then you have to ask for some
teaching plans. There is some information about subjects, time arranging, marks and textbooks. At the
same time, you must choose the teachers. Different teachers have different teaching methods. If the teacher
is called "killer" by the last grade, many students will give up choosing him. Because this kind of teacher
will leave too much homework, too many exams and give too low grades.
     There is another thing after you select the course and the teacher. How to buy textbooks makes each
student feel hard. The textbooks in America are very expensive. Each copy is about $30-50. In order to
save money, many students buy some used textbooks, and some students usually borrow textbooks from
the school library. You must get enough ready before class. In class, discussing is very important. 5. 老师
鼓励你提出问题或展示你自己的观点。
They don"t usually ask you to sit well. Instead they allow you to
sit or stand everywhere you like. They don"t give you much homework to do. You can learn some knowledge
and do exercises by yourself. So in American schools, you must do almost all things yourself. 1. At the beginning of the new term, American students have to ask
    for some teaching plans and get their textbooks ready besides __________.
2. The teacher __________ will always leave too much homework,
    too many exams and give too low grades.
