museums are places ｗhere collections of objects are preserved ａnd displayed. the objects may be anything found in nature ｏr made by man. there are museums devoted to art, science, history, industry, ａnd technology. but museums are no longer just storehouses for collections. today nearly all museums, large ｏr small, carry on educational programs. museums offer guided tours, lectures, films, music recitals, art lessons, ａnd other attractions.

museums work constantly to improve their collections ａnd ways of playing them. all museums are always on the watch for new additions to their collections. works of art are bought ｆrom art dealers ａnd private collectors ｏr at auction sales. museums also accept gifts ａnd bequests（遗物）, but the large museums no longer accept everything that is offered to them. they accept only objects ｏr collections that meet their high standards.

passage 2

cars of 2000 will travel the nation’s highways in never-before-dreams-of safety, comfort, ａnd convenience. these cars will float along never touching the ground, ａnd therefore will have no need for wheels.

annoying highway vibrations, caused by the rotations of the disc-and-tire wheels, will be things of the past. the coming highway passenger cars will literally fly above the road, supported on columns of air compressed by turbine-driven fans. the car without wheels has been called a “flying car”, ａnd, in a sense, that’s just what it is; however, it will not back out of the family garage, start down the street, ａnd then suddenly go quickly upward heading for some distant point. on the contrary, to avoid problems in aerial navigation, the wheel-less vehicle probably will travel no more than three inches above road surface. it will travel over fairly rough road ａnd even over smooth water.

the inevitable problems of maritime regulations, severe weather conditions, ａnd running out of fuel in remote areas all will require new concepts of operation, servicing, ａnd vehicle regulation.

6. the author believes that cars of the future_____

a. will be replaced by airplanes

b. will have wheels unlike those of today

c. will ｕｓｅ columns of air instead of wheels d. will ｕｓｅ wheels without tires 7. cars of the future will run_____

a. without annoying noise b. without fuel

c. much more smoothly d. on a number of fans

8. the car without wheels has been called a “flying car” because_____

a. it travels a few inches above the ground b. it can fly as a plane does c. it moves at a very high speed d. it can travel over smooth water

9. where is a wheel-less car least fit to travel?

a. over soft land

b. over rough country roads c. over highways d. over waterfalls

10. wheel-less cars will_____

a. eliminate all traffic problems b. create new traffic problems c. eliminate parking problems d. both a ａnd c

a travel agent can give you information on special economy fares for trains, buses ａnd planes. think about hiking ｏr biking for a part of your trip, too. you’ll not only save money, but you’ll also see a lot more of the country.

some students may want to travel by car. be sure to think about going with other students—many colleges have “ride boards” that list when ａnd ｗhere other students plan to travel. many radio stations provide the same sort of service—they announce who’s driving ｗhere, when, how many riders they will take ａnd what the expenses will be.

there are many inexpensive, older hotels near bus ｏr train stations. check your travel guide for names of the best. many parts of the country also have youth hostels ｗhere young people can stay for only a few dollars a night.

you don’t have to eat in restaurants all the time, but we don’t recommend a diet of candy ａnd cola, either. you can usually get a healthy, cheap breakfast in a restaurant. if the weather is warm, you can buy food in supermarkets ｏr at roadside stands ａnd have a picnic for lunch. for dinner you can get the names of good, cheap restaurants ｆrom travel guides ｏr friends. 11. the passage tells students_____.

today a pilot is totally dependent on what the air traffic controller on the ground tells him. he can not see enough to be safe. flightwatch is an instrument intended to help him.

on a screen in front of the pilot, there will be a map of the airspace around the plane. the pilot’s own flight level ｏr height ａnd his own plane at the centre of the screen will show up. on the map any other planes in the airspace will appear as blobs （点状）of light with “tails” showing the direction of their flight. the flightwatch map is unusual, for the other planes are not shown at their true ranges （范围）, but at their distance away in flying time. that gets over the problem of fast planes being too far away to be seen but likely to make contact in seconds ａnd slow planes that are close enough to be seen but so slow that there’s no chance of contact for, say, ten minutes.

the pilot will be able to see on the screen whether another plane’s course conflicts with his own. the screen will show him the flight number of the other plane, so he can contact air traffic control ａnd ask them about the other plane’s course, then he can take avoiding action if necessary. the screen will show him whether his action puts him in danger ｆrom yet another aircraft.

technically, the system will be quite complex. computers will be necessary on the ground ａnd in each aircraft to enable flightwatch to collect data about the planes’ courses ａnd to calculate the distances between planes. but such small computers are now quite cheap, simple ａnd reliable. 1. a pilot is dependent on _______ for his safe flight.

a. flightwatch

b. the air traffic controller in the plane

c. the command of the air controller on the ground d. the pilot himself

2. __________ can help the pilot to keep contact with the air traffic controller.

a. a computer b. the screen c. flightwatch

d. the passage dosen’t mention it 3. the flightwatch is _________ to ｕｓｅ.

a. quite simple b. quite complex c. expensive d. not mentioned

4. the main components of the flightwatch are __________.

a. a screen ａnd certain computers b. computers

c. a flightwatch map ａnd small computers d. blobs ａnd tails

5. the computers are _________.

a. large

b. neither large nor small
