    It's not the flashiest car in the world. Not even close. But the 1971 Volkswagen named Helios can do something most cars can't: nm on solar energy – energy from the sun's light and heat!

        Joshua Bechtold, 14, and the other students at the Riverside School in Lyndonville, Vermont, worked many months to get Helios ready for the 1999  American Tour de Sol （"Sol" is the Latin word for "sun"）. They named their car after Helios, the sun god in Greek mythology（神话）.

        The 4-year-old Tour de Sol encourages the use of "green", or environmentally friendly, cars to help reduce pollution and save energy. It’s not a race. Cars are  judged on fuel efficiency（耗油量） rather than speed. In the week-long event, 44 cars took the 350-mile tour from Waterbury, Connecticut, to Lake George, New York. Of the 23 student cars, Helios was the only one built by middle school students.

        A teacher drove Helios, but the children talked with people wherever they stopped along the mad. "That was my favorite part," says Anna Browne, 15. "We explained how the car runs.”

        Due in part to old, inefficient batteries（电池）, Helios finished fourth - out of four - in its kind, the sun-powered class. "We were there for the fun of it," Anna says. "We're proud of Helios," says Ariel Gleicher, 14. "It's a car that's good for the environment."

    64. What is special about the car Helios in the text?       

           A. It was built by middle school students.

           B. It has an attractive design.

          C. It was made in 1971.

          D. It won the fourth prize.

    65. How many sun-powered cars took part in the race?      

           A. 1.       B. 4.     C. 23.    D. 44.

    66. What would be the best title for the text.'?       

          A. The Making of Helios

          B. 1999 American Tour de Sol

          C. Sun-powered Cars on the Road

          D. Use of Green Cars in Connecticut

    67. The students felt proud of Helios because______.

          A. it could run as far as 350 miles      B. it was favored by many children

       C. it had high-quality batteries          D. it was driven by clean energy

    64---67   ABCD  


    解析:

    64.A 点评：由文章第三段的最后一句可知。

    65.B 点评：由最后一段可知，一共有4辆太阳能动力汽车参加了比赛。

    66.C 点评：文章主要说的是一辆由中学生设计的太阳能汽车的事情，附带说明其他环保型汽车，因此C项最合适。

    67.D 点评：从最后一段可以看出，他们的汽车对环保有利，所以大家因它自豪。

    Keeping a busy social life among lots of friends may keep people thinner than spending hours doing some exercises, according to scientists. They say that socializing and meeting with friends help increase levels of brown fat in the body which burns calories to produce heat.

    Living in an exciting social environment was found to reduce fat in mice's belly by half over four weeks, even if they ate more. US researchers say that social excitement aids weight loss by turning white fat into brown. White fat stores calories and makes us fatter, while brown burns energy to produce heat. Turning white fat into brown is extremely difficult, normally requiring long-term stay in cold conditions or exciting part of the body's nervous system. 

    However, scientists from Ohio State University now think that having a busy social life is an even more effective way of changing white fat into brown. The team came up with their theory by studying the effects of various living environments on mice. Those, who lived alongside a greater number of mice, had more space and toys to excite themselves and then lost far more weight over the course of the study than their “couch potato" fellows.

    Study author, Dr Matthew During, whose team’s findings appear in the journal Cell Metabolism, said, “I'm still amazed at the degree of fat loss that occurs.” explaining how new technology had threatened face-to-face socializing, he added, “It's not just a sedentary(久坐的) lifestyle and high calorie foods, but an increasing lack of social activities.” Co-author Dr Lei Cao said，“Loneliness is a potential factor for cancer and death; it's equal to cigarette smoking to a certain extent. Social activities are very vital.”

    1.What information can we get from the first two paragraphs?

    A. Brown fat stores calories and makes us fatter.       

    B. It doesn’t take long to turn white fat into brown.

    C. Social excitement helps gain more weight.

    D. Brown fat can burn energy to produce heat.

    2.Which of the following statement does the text support?

    A. Levels of brown fat can be increased by socializing.

    B. The mice lacking social life lose more weight.

    C. The research findings haven’t been published so far.

    D. Dr Matthew During wasn’t convinced of the result.

    3.We can conclude from the text that_______.

    A. the fat in mice’s belly was reduced because of the relaxing environment

    B. a sedentary lifestyle and high calories foods influence people’s social life

    C. surfing the Internet may influence people’s face-to-face communication

    D. cancer and death are mainly caused for lack of social life

    4.What’s the main idea of the text?

    A. Brown fat is beneficial to people’s health.

    B. Socializing is unnecessarily important in people’s daily life.

    C. White fat can be changed into brown fat.

    D. Socializing contributes to people’s losing weight.

    Growing up, I remember my father as a silent, serious man not the sort of person around whom one could laugh. As a teenager arriving in America, knowing nothing, I wanted a father who could explain the human journey. In college, when friends called home for advice, 1 would sink into deep depression for what I did not have.

    Today. at twenty-seven, I have come to rediscover them in ways that my teenage mind would not allow — as adults and as friends with their own faults and weaknesses.

    One night after my move back home, I overheard my father on the telephone. There was some trouble. Later, Dad shared the problem with me. Apparently my legal training had earned me some privileges in his eyes. I talked through the problem with Dad. analyzing the purposes of the people involved and offering several negotiation strategies. He listened patiently before finally admitting, “I can’t think like that. I am a simple man.”

    Dad is a brilliant scientist who can deconstruct (解构) the building blocks of nature. Yet human nature is a mystery to him. That night I realized that he was simply not skilled at dealing with people, much less the trouble of a conflicted teenager. It’s not in his nature to understand human desires.

    And so, there it was — it was no one’s fault that my father held no interest in human lives while 1 placed great importance in them. We are at times born more sensitive, wide-eyed, and dreamy than our parents and become more curious and idealistic than them. Dad perhaps never expected me for a child. And I, who knew Dad as an intelligent man, had never understood that his intelligence did not cover all of my feelings.

    It has saved me years of questioning and confusion. I now see my parents as people who have other relationships than just Father and Mother. I now overlook their many faults and weaknesses, which once annoyed me.

    I now know my parents as friends: people who ask me for advice; people who need my support and understanding. And I’ve come to see my past clearly.

    1.What was the author’s impression of her father when she was a teenager?

    A. Friendly but irresponsible.

    B. Intelligent but severe.

    C. Cold and aggressive.

    D. Caring and communicative.

    2.Why did the author feel depressed when her friends called home?

    A. She did not have a phone to a1l home.

    B. Her father did not care about her human journey.

    C. Her father was too busy to answer her phone.

    D. Her father couldn’t give her appropriate advice.

    3.After the author overheard her father on the telephone.

    A. he blamed her for impoliteness

    B. he rediscovered human nature

    C. he consulted with her about his problem

    D. he changed his attitude towards the author

    4.The author realized that ______.

    A. her father had too many faults and weaknesses

    B. her father was not as intelligent as she had thought

    C. her father was not good at interpersonal relationships

    D. her father placed too much importance in social activities

    5.Which of the following is the best title of this passage?

    A. My Parents as Friends

    B. My Parents as Advisors

    C. My Father — a Serious Man

    D. My Father — an Intelligent Scientist
