Passage 2

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. However，they made gas from wood and plants. The cars didn’t go fast, but at least 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（潮汐）. 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? ( ) 56. 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 they aren’t any big trees in the world.

( ) 57. What did some people use to make gas in the Second World War? A. Water. B. Coal. C. Wood and plants. D. Tides. ( ) 58. How many ways are suggested to make electricity in the passage? A. 2. B. 5 C. 4 D. 3

( ) 59. 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. ( ) 60. 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 Passage 3

As teenagers, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize, or they can be small. You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.

Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?

Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that making our dreams real is life’s biggest challenge.

You man think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts stop you from getting your dream, the book says.

In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.

Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is, in fact, many small dreams.

You must also never give up your dream.

There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book. As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests.

( )61. Follow Your Heart is__________________.

A. the first thing you must do to make your dream real
