Now cities are full of cars. Some families even have two or more cars. Parking is a great problem, and so is the traffic in and around the cities. Something will have to be done to change it.

What will the cars of tomorrow be like?

Little cars may some day take the place of today’s big cars. If everyone drives little cars in the future, there will be less pollution in the air. There will also be more space for parking cars in cities, and the streets will be less crowded. Three little cars can fit in the space now needed for one car of the usual size.

The little cars will cost much less to own and to drive. Driving will be safer, too. What is more, these little cars can go about 65 kilometers per hour.

Little cars of the future will be fine for getting around a city, but they will not be useful for long trips. If big cars are still used along with the small ones, two sets of roads will be needed in the future. Some roads will be used for the big, fast cars, and other roads will be needed for the slower small ones.

1.Cars in the future mustn’t bring ________ pollution in the air.

A. more B. fewer C. less D. no

2.The little car’s size may be ________ today’s car’s size.

A. one third of B. two thirds of

C. as big as D. as small as

3.Little cars are very fine for ________.

A. long trips B. journeys

C. everyday life D. sport

4.The big cars are ________ the little cars for long trips.

A. as useful as B. not so useful as

C. more useful than D. less useful than

閱讀表達(dá) 閱讀短文,按要求回答短文后的五個(gè)問(wèn)題。

All living things on the earth need other living things to live on. Nothing lives alone. Most animals must live in a group, and even a plant grows close together with others of the same kind. Sometimes one living thing kills another, one eats and the other is eaten. Each kind of life eats another kind of life in order to live, and together they form a food chains (鏈). Some food chains are simple, while others are not. But all food chains begin with the sun, and all food chains become broken up if one of the links disappears (消失).

All the lives need sunlight to survive. But only plants can use sunlight directly. Plants are “factories”. They make food from sunlight, water and things in the soil and air.

Plants feed all other living things. Animals can only use the sun’s energy after it has been changed into food by plants. Some animals feed directly on plants others eat smaller animals. Meat-eating animals are only eating plants indirectly.

What about human beings? We are members of many food chains. We eat wheat, rice, vegetables, fruits and so on. We also eat meat and drink milk. But men often break up the food chains. They kill wild animals and make the rivers, lakes, and seas dirty. When these rivers, lakes and seas are polluted, the fish in them cannot be eaten. If men eat the fish, they will get strange diseases.

Each form of life is linked to all the others. Breaking the links puts all life in danger.

1.How does a plant grow?

2.Why does each kind of life eat another kind of life?
