This morning, a Virgin Atantin 747 Jumbo Jet became the first commercial airplane to fly on biofuel. The short flight from London to Amsterdam used a blend of 20% babassu(棕櫚) oil mixed with 80% conventional jet fuel.

What was really exciting about the flight was the fact that the engine did not have to be altered in any way for the biofuel to work While this is a great initial step in trying to reduce CO2(carbon-dioxide)emissions(排放)from airplanes. there are a lot of hurdles (障礙)that still need to be overcome.

First and foremost, unlike the normal fuel used to run airplanes (known as Jet A),biofuel freezes at high altitudes. Also, Jet‘A’fuel burns consistently (at the same pace),which means it provides a safe and reliable fuel for long flights--engineers are not sure if biofuel will be able to do the same.

The biggest hurdle to a full biofuel switch is our ability to be able to grow enough crops that can be converted to biofuel. There are two concerns that scientists have in this matter – the first is that the land to grow the extra crops will come from clearing more of our forests and the second is that since it competes with what we eat, the price of food will go up.

However, Richard Branson of Virgin Airlines, envisions that if biofuel starts to replace oil on a greater basis, it will be manufactured from algae（藻類）produced in sewage treatment plants, not from food sources.

Birgin Airlines is not the only one trying to look for alternative fuel sources. Earlier this year, an Airbus A380 used another alternative fuel－a man-made mix of gas-to-liquid, in one of its four engines. The flight was tested by Rolls Royce (manufacturer of jet engines), in partnership with Shell (an oil company). Rolls Royce is also working with Air New Zealand on a similar project.

While a complete switch to alternative fuel may take years, it is very encouraging to see airlines, oil companies and airplane manufacturers all coming together to try to make it happen!

1.．Why does Virgin Airlines try to replace normal fuel with biofuel?

A．To cut down the flight cost of the company.

B．To remove some hurdles for the biofuel to work.

C．To reduce CO2 emissions from airplanes.

D．To test plane engines on biofuel.

2.．Which is NOT true for a full biofuel switch of airplanes?

A Biofuel cannot run for long flights.                  

B．Biofuel cannot work at high altitudes.

C．Man has not enough land to grow extra crops for biofuel. 

D．It’s not easy for sewage treatment plants to manufacture biofuel.

3.．One of the hurdles to be overcome for a full biofuel switch is to          .

A．a(chǎn)lter the engine for airplanes

B．make biofuel burn consistently

C．open more land to grow more crops

D．develop sewage treatment plants

4.．We can infer from the last paragraph that          .

A．there is a long way to go for a complete switch to alternative fuel

B．it won’t be long before alternative fuel comes into use

C．a(chǎn)irlines, oil companies and airplane manufacturers are reliable

D．a(chǎn)lternative fuel has a bright future

5.．Which of the following can best serves as the title of this passage?

A．Biofuel-Alternative Fuel Sources.

B．The First Commercial Flight Powered by Biofuel.

C．How to Reduce CO2 Emissions from Airplanes.

D．Vigin Airlines Trying to Alter Fuel Sources.

科目：高中英語 來源：2012年北師大版高中英語必修一Unit9練習(xí)卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

My father had returned from his business visit to London when I came in, rather late, to supper. I could tell at once that he and my mother had been discussing something. In that half-playful, half-serious way I knew so well, he said, "How would you like to go to Eton?"

"You bet," I cried quickly catching the joke. Everyone knew it was the most expensive, the most famous of schools. You had to be entered at birth, if not before. Besides, even at 12 or 13, I understood my father. He disliked any form of showing off. He always knew his proper station in life, which was in the middle of the middle class, our house was medium-sized; he had avoided joining Royal Liverpool Golf Club and went to a smaller one instead; though once he had got a second-hand Rolls-Royce at a remarkably low price, he felt embarrassed driving it, and quickly changed it for an Austin 1100.

This could only be his delightful way of telling me that the whole boarding school idea was to be dropped. Alas! I should also have remembered that he had a liking for being different from everyone else, if it did not conflict(沖突) with his fear of drawing attention to himself.

It seemed that he had happened to be talking to Graham Brown of the London office, a very nice fellow, and Graham had a friend who had just entered his boy at the school, and while he was in that part of the world he thought he might just as well phone them. I remember my eyes stinging(刺痛) and my hands shaking with the puzzlement of my feelings. There was excitement, at the heart of great sadness.

"Oh, he doesn't want to go away," said my mother, "You shouldn't go on like this.” “It's up to him," said my father. "He can make up his own mind."

1.The house the writer's family lived in was ________.

A．the best they could afford

B．right for their social position

C．for showing off

D．rather small

2.His father sold his Roils-Royce because ________.

A．it made him feel uneasy

B．it was too old to work well

C．it was too expensive to possess

D．it was too cheap

3.The writer's father enjoyed being different as long as ________.

A．it drew attention to him

B．it didn't bring him in arguments

C．it was understood as a joke

D．there was no danger of his showing off

4.What was the writer's reaction to the idea of going to Eton?

A．He was very unhappy.

B．He didn't believe it.

C．He was delighted.

D．He had mixed feelings.

5.We can know from the passage that ________.

A．Children who can go to Eton are very famous

B．Children can go to Eton if they will

C．It is very difficult for a child to get admitted by Eton

D．Children don't have the right to decide whether they will go to Eton

第三部分：閱讀理解（共15小題，每小題2分；共30分）

閱讀下面短文，掌握其大意，然后從各題的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

A

A man walks into a doctor’s office. He has a cucumber (黃瓜) up his nose, a carrot in his left ear and a banana in his right ear. “What's the matter with me?” he asks the doctor. The doctor replies, “You’re not eating properly.”

This is a popular joke among British school children. It shows Britain's famous dry and satirical (諷刺的) way of seeing the funny side of life. People say this unique sense of humor is one of Britain's national characteristics.

The British sense of humor is different from other countries because it is often more negative. When it comes to making the British laugh, there is nothing that works better than a socially inappropriate (不恰當(dāng)?shù)? joke. It reflects the culture where mocking (嘲弄) is part of everyday life.

While most Britons don’t take these jokes too seriously, foreigners often don’t understand them. A recent survey found that most foreigners who visited Britain think the British are “unfriendly and have almost no sense of humor”.

Are the British just not as funny as they think they are? Leo McKinstry, a British journalist, thinks the British are funny. “Accusing the British of having no sense of humor is like telling Rolls-Royce (勞斯萊斯) that its cars are cheap and not good in quality,” he says.

56. What does the doctor actually mean by the remark “You’re not eating properly”?

A. What you have had is the cause of these problems.   B. You are not having the right food.

C. You don’t eat the way people usually do.           D. You eat with the wrong cutlery. ( 餐具 )

57. The word “dry” in Paragraph 2 means ________.

A. without water or liquid inside                 B. special and popular among school children

C. dull and meaningless                        D. funny and clever while seeming to be serious

58. Why do most visitors, who once visited Britain, think that the British are unfriendly?

A. Because the British always take things seriously.

B. Because the British have no sense of humor.

C. Because the British are cold and difficult to get along with.

D. Because the British have a different sense of humor.

59. Which of the following is NOT the characteristics of British humor?

A. dry and satirical                             B. negative and mocking

C. encouraging and gentle                        D. clever and witty
