Thousands of years ago, people didn’t know that the Earth moved. They thought the sun really moved across the sky. The Greek god Helios was said to drive the sun around the sky with his chariot (战车). But now, these ideas have all changed. Nowadays, it is the sun that drives our “chariot” around the sky.
So what does all this mean? Well, quite simply, there is now a plane (or “chariot”) that is powered by the sun. It has special parts in its wings. These parts absorb power from the sun. They absorb so much power that they can carry on flying at night. In the Greek myths, Helios had to take a break at night. It seems we’re finally even more efficient (效率高) than the gods themselves.
This plane is called Solar Impulse (太阳驱动号). It will fly across the US in May. This is very important for the future of the world.
So why is solar energy so good for us? Well, other kinds of energy cause a few problems. If you live in China, you’ve probably noticed the pollution. This is caused by burning coal or gas to make energy. The heat and chemicals (化学制品) from this make things work. But if we use the heat from the sun, we don’t have to burn anything, and there’s no pollution.
Solar energy is not all there yet. It needs to be improved. But the best thing about it is that, unlike coal and gas, it doesn’t run out. Solar Impulse could keep flying forever. Well, actually, the sun will run out too, one day, but not for another 5 billion years. That’s a pretty long flight.
1. What does “chariot” really refer to (指的是) in the last sentence of Paragraph 1?
A. The Earth. B. The Greek god. C. The plane. D. Birds.
2. Which of the following is TRUE about Solar Impulse?
A. It can only fly at night. B. It is powered by the sun.
C. It has already flown across the US. D. It needs gas to work.
3. In the passage, what is mentioned as the cause of pollution in China?
A. Overpopulation. B. Heavy traffic.
C. Using solar energy. D. Burning coal or gas.
4. What does the writer mean by “that’s a pretty long flight”?
A. Solar Impulse moves very slowly.
B. Solar Impulse will be in use for a very long time.
C. It takes a lot of time to get Solar Impulse going.
D. Solar Impulse has a long way to go to take the place of the sun.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两 项为多余选项。
_1_ One of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club. It’s great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there’s never anything to do during the school holidays.
The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club. _2_ Pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups, sports, making things? The list is endless. Next you need some friends to be in your club with you. _3_ All you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same thing as you. _4___-You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper
and write down every name you can think up. That’ll keep you busy for ages. At your first meeting you should make up a rule book. And the first rule should be no grown-ups or little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret! Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again you can speed a lot of time making them. __5_ Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself? That will make the membership card really look like it. So there you are, get clubbing! Once you get started you’ll think of loads of more interesting things to do!
A.That’s easy.
B.Enjoy your own club!
C.Invite a designer to join you.
D.What are you interest in?
E.Some vacation is just around the corner.
F.Then you need to pick a name for your club.
