    Today’s drivers may feel shocked by the high price of petrol when they drive to the gas station. However, the car industry has the technology to solve the problem. It’s the hybrid car（混合动力汽车）.
    What is a hybrid car? Any car that uses two or more sources of power is a hybrid car. Most hybrid cars on the road right now are petrol-electric hybrids. The petrol-electric hybrid car is just what it sounds like — a cross between a petrol-powered car and an electric car.
    A gas-powered car has a fuel tank（油箱）, which supplies petrol to the engine. An electric car, on the other hand, has a set of batteries that provides electricity for the car.
    To be useful to you or me, a car should be able to run at least 300 miles (483 km) before refueling, be capable of(能够) being refueled quickly and easily and fast enough to keep up with the other traffic on the road.
    A petrol car meets these requirements（要求）but produces a large amount of pollution. An electric car, however, produces almost no pollution, but can only go 50 to 100 miles (80 to 161 km) between recharging(充电). And the problem has been that the electric car is very slow and inconvenient to recharge.
    A petrol-electric car combines the advantages of the two power sources into one system that uses both gas power and electric power. Some experts believe that the hybrid car is “the next generation of smart cars”. A hybrid car can go up to 50% further than a traditional car can on the same amount of gas! It saves driver’s money on gas and cuts air pollution!
    小题1:What do the underlined words “the problem” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
    A．The price of petrol goes up and down.B．The gas-powered car is sold at a high price.
    C．The gas-powered car causes air pollution.D．The price of petrol keeps going up.
    小题2:How many sources of power do most hybrid cars use?
    A．Two.B．Three.C．Four.D．It depends.
    小题3:The author thinks that electric cars _____.
    A．are smart vehiclesB．are popular vehicleC．are not practicalD．are not slow
    小题4:Some experts believe that the hybrid car will have a large market in future because _____.
    A．it is just powered by renewable energyB．it saves money and is eco-friendly
    C．it goes further than a traditional carD．it is safe, cheap and produces no air pollution

    小题1:D
    小题2:A

    Not so long ago almost any student who successfully completed a university degree could find a good career quite easily．Companies toured the academic institutions, competing with each other to select graduates．However, those days are gone, even in Hong Kong, and nowadays graduates often face strong competition in the search for jobs．
    Most careers organizations highlight three stages for graduates to follow in the process of securing a suitable career：recognizing abilities, matching these to available jobs and presenting them well to possible employers．
    Job seekers have to make a careful assessment of their own abilities．One area of assessment should be of their academic qualifications, which would include special skills within their subject area．Graduates should also consider their own personal values and attitudes．An honest assessment of personal interests and abilities such as creative skills, or skills acquired from work experience, should also be given careful thought．
    The second stage is to study the opportunities available for employment and to think about how the general employment situation is likely to develop in the future．To do this, graduates can study job and position information in newspapers, or they can visit a careers office, write to possible employers for information or contact friends or relatives who may already be involved in a particular profession．After studying all the various options, they should be in a position to make informed comparisons between various careers．
    Good personal presentation is essential in the search for a good career．Job application forms and letters should, of course, be filled in carefully and correctly, without grammar or spelling errors．Where additional information is asked for, job seekers should describe their abilities and work experience in more depth, with examples if possible．They should try to balance their own abilities with the employer’s needs, explain why they are interested in a career with the particular company and try to show that they already know something about the company and its activities．
    When graduates go to an interview, they should prepare properly by finding out all they can about the possible employer．Dressing suitably and arriving for the interview on time are also important．Interviewees should try to give positive and helpful answers and should not be afraid to ask questions about anything they are unsure about．This is much better than pretending to understand a question and giving an unsuitable answer．
    小题1:“Those days are gone, even in Hong Kong” in Paragraph 1 suggests that__________．
    A．finding a good career used to be easier in Hong Kong than elsewhere
    B．now everyone in Hong Kong has an equal chance of finding a good job
    C．graduates now face stronger competition in Hong Kong than elsewhere
    D．even in Hong Kong companies tour universities trying to select graduates
    小题2:It is implied in Paragraph 3 that graduates should_____________．
    A．aim to give a balanced account of what the employer needs
    B．consider careers which suit their values, interests and abilities
    C．stress their personal attitudes and values in job applications
    D．recognize their own abilities regardless of what the employer looks for
    小题3:According to Paragraph 4, graduates should______________．
    A．find a good position and then compare it with other careers
    B．ask friends or relatives to secure them a good job
    C．get information about a number of careers before making comparisons
    D．study the opportunities and the kinds of training that will be available
    小题4:In the last paragraph, the writer seems to suggest that ________________．
    A．interviewees should appear humble if they can’t give an answer
    B．dressing properly is more important than being able to give an answer
    C．it is better for interviewees to be honest than to pretend to understand
    D．it is a good idea for interviewees to be boastful in their answers

    A new research shows that in Britain more and more people are returning to the old tradition that the whole family have a meal at table. Worrying about the obesity and breakdown of a family, people change their eating habits so greatly, according to analysis. They find the number of the family having a meal together increases by 5% from 2002 to 2004, and most people who have meals with their family come from the rich social class.
    The new discovery makes doctors and the people struggling against obesity extremely excited. Giving up the tradition that the whole family have a meal together is exactly one of the reasons for a series of problems including children’s overweight. If a child has a meal in front of the television or the computer alone, he will often eat some fast food.
    Jason Collins is one of the persons returning to the old tradition. Collins is a manager of a bake(烘面包) house. He finds after he gets used to having a meal at home with his child, the child becomes much more obedient(听话的). Dr. Jin is a child psychologist, and she expresses welcome to this result of the study.  She says it can make parents have a very good chance to chat with the child when the whole family have a meal together.
    小题1: What makes people change their eating habit back to the old tradition in Britain?
    A．Worrying about their children.B．Worrying about some social problems.
    C．Worrying about the living expense.D．Worrying about health and family problems.
    小题2: We can infer from the passage that _______.
    A．people’s eating habit has much effect on their family
    B．most rich people have meals with their family
    C．most children have the problem of overweight
    D．most children don’t like having dinner with the parents
    小题3: How do the people who hope to lose weight feel about the new discovery?
    A．They feel glad. B．They feel surprised.
    C．They feel sorry.D．They feel disappointed.
    小题4: Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．The child having dinner with his parents doesn’t like watching TV.
    B．Children become overweight all because of having dinner alone.
    C．The family having dinner together is more united and friendly.
    D．The reason a child has dinner alone is that he likes fast food.

    The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image (印象) of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
    An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seen to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “They’re expected to be rebellious(叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds: they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation(商议) and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat.”
    So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends.” My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-years-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it.” Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”
    Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenager rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in out social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”
    小题1: What is the popular images of teenagers today?
    A．They worry about schoolB．They dislike living with their parents
    C．They have to be locked in to avoid troubles D．They quarrel a lot with other family members
    小题2:The study shows that teenagers don’t want to ___
    A．share family responsibilityB．cause trouble in their families
    C．go boating with their familyD．make family decisions
    小题3:Compared with parents of 30 years age, today’s parents___.
    A．go to clubs more often with their childrenB．are much stricter with their children
    C．care less about their children’s lifeD．give their children more freedom
    小题4: According to the author, teenage rebellion____.
    A．may be a false beliefB．is common nowadays
    C．existed only in the 1960sD．resulted from changes in families

    Since the 1950s, most of the stars of pop music have come from Britain and America. Howver, in the last ten years, when many different kinds of music have established themselves on the pop scene, more and more stars have come from other countries.
    Pop music changes all the time and new stars appear and become famous. For a musician to stay popular and still produced good, original music over a long period of time, is a sign of true star.
    Most stars start their careers in a simple way---- playing in unknown night clubs or dance-hall where people want to dance to the music, not listen to it. They may have continued doing this for many years untill they get a “break”---- a chance to perform in a well –known place or get a recording contract. To become a star is the aim of every singer or musician and the dream of many a pop-crazy teenager.
    However a group or star makes it to the top, they can be sure that their lives will change once they are successful. Ordinary teenagers living at home with their parents may suddenly find themselves rich enough to buy their own houses. An established superstar may be able to buy several.
    Despite the large amount of money that are earned, life at the top is not easy for many stars.. The pop scene is hard work and many stars need to spend a lot of time away from home. For a lot of them, this means they have no home life and their personal relationships suffer. Despite great public success, life at the top can be very lonely.
    小题1:Since the 1950s,most of the stars of pop music have come from______.
    A．AmericaB．America and Britain

    Thousands of villages in the developing world have no telephones. They have no money to build telephone systems. A new kind of technology may help change this situation. I t reduces the cost of building and using telephone systems.
    Traditional systems use wires to carry electrical signals from one telephone to another. The wires often cost much more than telephones. The new system is based on radio communication. Each telephone sends and receives signals through the air, but not through the wires. This reduces the cost greatly. The radio telephone gets their power from the sun.
    Each is connected to a solar equipment that changes the sun’s energy into electricity. A battery stores the electricity until someone needs to make or receive a call. The telephone turns off by itself if the level of power in the battery falls too low. This prevents damage to the system. Each radio telephone is connected to a computer microprocessor. It rewards how many calls are sent and received. It controls the power supply.
    The technology needs more study, but its new use of radio equipment sun power and computers may help start telephone ringing in the other parts of the world.
    68. The radio telephone gets their power from_____.
    A. the sun 　　　B. electricity 　　　C. battery 　　　D. a special equipment
    69. Each telephone is connected to_____.

    A classic series of experiments to determine the effects of overpopulation on communities of rats was conducted by a psychologist，John Calhoun．In each experiment，an equal number of male and female adult rats were placed in an enclosure（场地）．The rat populations were allowed to increase．Calhoun knew from experience approximately how many rats could live in the enclosures without experiencing stress due to overcrowding．He allowed the population to increase to approximately twice this number Then he fixed the population by removing the children that were not dependent on their mothers．At the end of the experiments，Calhoun was able to conclude that overcrowding causes a breakdown in the normal social relationships among rats，a kind of social disease．The rats in the experiments did not follow the same patterns of behavior as rats would in a community without overcrowding．
    The females in the rat population were the most seriously affected by the high population density（密度）．For example，mothers sometimes deserted their children，and，without their mothers’care，the children died．The experiments showed that in overpopulated communities，mother rats do not behave normally．Their behavior may be considered diseased and pathological（病理学的）．
    The leading males in the rat population were the least affected by over population．Each of these strong males claimed an area of the enclosure as his own．Therefore，these individuals did not  experience the overcrowding in the same way as the other rats did．．However leading males did behave pathologically at times．Their antisocial（反社会）behavior consisted of attacks on weaker male，female，and immature rats．This unusual behavior showed that even though the leading males had enough living space，they too were affected by the general overcrowding．
    Non-leading males in the experimental rat communities also exhibited unusual social behavior．Some withdrew（缩回） completely ,avoiding contact with other rats．Other non-leading males were too active，chasing other rats and fighting each other．
    The behavior of the rat population has similarity in human behavior．People in densely（密） populated areas exhibit unusual behavior similar to that of the rats in Calhoun’s experiments．In large urban areas，such as New York City，London，and Cairo，there are deserted children．There are cruel，powerful individuals，both men and women．There are also people who withdraw and people who become too active．Is the major cause of these disorders（混乱）overpopulation?
    Calhoun’s experiments suggest that it might be．In any case，social scientists and city planners have been influenced by the results of this series of experiments．
    小题1:Which of the following inferences（推断）can NOT be made from the first paragraph?
    A．Overpopulation causes pathological behavior in rat populations．
    B．Calhoun had experimented with rats before．
    C．Calhoun’s experiment is still considered important today
    D．Stress does not occur in rat communities unless there is overcrowding．
    小题2:The author implies that the behavior of the leading male rats is sometimes similar to that of
    A．people who would like to keep to themselves
    B．people who abandon their children
    C．too active people
    D．cruel，powerful people
    小题3:The main point of this passage is that _______________．
    A．although rats are affected by overcrowding，people are not
    B．overcrowding may be an important cause of social pathology
    C．the social behavior of rats is seriously affected by overcrowding
    D．Calhoun's experiments have influenced many people

    C
    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 using horses, carriages and bicycles.
    In the Second World War, some people didn’t use gas 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 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 (涡轮机) and make electricity more easily and cheaply.
    We are also able to get power from the ocean tides. 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?
    49. When might people have to go back to using 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.
    50. What did some people use to make gas in the Second World War?
    A. Water                   B. Coal                 C. Wood and plants              D. Tides
    51. How many ways are suggested to make electricity in the passage?
    A. 2                         B. 5                     C. 4                            D. 3
    52. 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
