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 (渦輪機(jī)) 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

(C)
It looks like a mobile phone（手機(jī)）, but the service is much cheaper. It acts like a mobile phone, but only in your own city. Beyond the city walls, it’s useless.
“Little Smart”, also called “xiaolingtong”, has always been compared to mobile phones. But actually, it is more like one of those cordless phones(無繩電話) used around the home. The only difference is that this one reaches much further than from the bathroom to the living room. It can travel across an entire city.
Cheap costs are the main reason for the success of Little Smart. It costs 25 yuan a month for the line and about 0.1 yuan per minute to use. A mobile phone, on the other hand, can cost four or five times as much. What’s more, unlike mobile phones, there’s no fee(費(fèi)) for incoming calls. So these low charges have attracted many users.
But, Little Smart is not really that smart. Users often complain about its bad voice quality. And there are not as many stations to pick up its signals（信號(hào)）as there are for mobiles. “I couldn’t receive a phone call if I was on a bus,” said Li Ping, a user in Hangzhou. “It worked fine when I stood still, but there were breaks in signal when I was moving.”
Scientists are trying to make Little Smart more user friendly. Messaging and Internet access(接入) have been added to the service. And the latest Little Smart handset even has color screen.
31. Why is Little Smart popular in China? ___________
A. It looks like a mobile phone.        B. The service is much cheaper.

A. About 10 fen per minute to use.    
B. It costs four or five times more than a mobile phone.
C. It only costs 25 yuan each month.  
D. There’s no fee for calls.
33. Why are users not satisfied with Little Smart? ___________
A. They can’t hear each other clearly out of the city.
B. There are so few stations for Little Smart to pick up its signals.
C.    When you use it, you must stand up.      
D. The charges are low.
34. The underlined word “handset” in the last paragraph means “_________”.
A. the hand bag      B. telephone      C. service        D. mobile phone
35. What can we infer from the passage? ________________.
A. It’s wrong to say that Little Smart is smart.  
B. Scientist are trying to make Little Smart smaller.
C. Little Smart will be better than today.
