My friends, Emma Daniels, spent the summer of 1974 traveling in Israel. During her month-long stay in Jerusalem she often went to a café called Chocolate Soup. It was run by two men, one of whom – Alex – used to live in Montreal. One morning when Emma went in for coffee, while chatting with her new friend Alex, she mentioned that she had just finished the book she was reading and had nothing else to read. Alex said he had a wonderful book she might like, and that he’d be happy to lend it to her. As he lived just above the café, he quickly ran up to get it. The book he handed to Emma just minutes later was Markings, a book by a former Secretary-General of the United Nations (UN). Emma had never read it, nor had she ever bought a copy. But, when she opened it up, she was floored to see her own name and address inside the cover in her own handwriting. It turned out that the summer before, at a concert back in Montreal, Emma had met a Californian who was in town visiting friends. They decided to exchange addresses, but neither of them had any paper. The man opened up a book he was carrying in his backpack and asked Emma to write her name and address inside. When he returned to California, he left the book behind in Montreal, and his friend Alex kept it. When Alex later moved to Jerusalcm, he took the book along. 【1】Alex lent Emma the book, Markings,_____.

A solar plane on a round-the-world journey has reached the point of no return over the Pacific Ocean after departing Hawaii, and now it’s California or bust. The plane was cruising over the cold northern Pacific late Thursday at about 6,000 meters with a nearly-full battery as night descended（降临）, according to the website that’s recording the journey of Solar Impulse 2. After some uncertainty about winds, the plane took off from Hawaii and was on course to land in Mountain View, California, in about three days. The crew that helped it take off was clearing out of its Hawaiian hangar （飞机库）and headed for the mainland for the weekend arrival. At one point the plane was passed by a Hawaiian Airlines jet whose passengers caught a glimpse of the Solar Impulse 2 before the powerful airliner left the slow-moving one behind. The aircraft landed in Hawaii in July and was forced to stay in the islands after the plane’s battery system sustained heat damage on its trip from Japan. The aircraft started its journey in March 2015 from Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, and made stops in Oman, Myanmar, China and Japan. It’s on the ninth leg of its circumnavigation（环行）. Pilot Bertrand Piccard, who is flying the latest leg of the trip, was confident on Thursday that things would go according to plan. Piccard and his co-pilot Andre Borschberg were in charge of the mission. The team was delayed in Asia. When first attempting to fly from Nanjing to Hawaii, the crew had to divert to Japan because of unfavorable weather and a damaged wing. A month later, when weather conditions were right, the plane departed from Nagoya in Japan for Hawaii. 【1】What does the underlined phrase “California or bust” mean in the first paragraph? A. Success or failure. B. Return or California. C. Damage or repair. D. Destination and success. 【2】What is the name of the solar plane? A. Hawaiian Air Jet. B. Andre Borschberg. C. Solar Impulse 2. D. Solar Challenger. 【3】Why did the solar plane stay in Japan for a month? A. Because the plane’s battery system sustained heat damage on its trip. B. Because it was a slow-moving solar plane. C. Because the weather was unfavorable and a wing was damaged. D. Because both of the pilots have no confidence about the solar plane. 【4】What is the best title of the passage? A. A Solar Plane Trip in Asia B. The Round-the-world Trip C. Solar Plane Soars（高飞）from Hawaii to California D. A Pleasant Solar Plane Trip from Japan to California |

At one time no one could travel on an English road faster than four miles an hour. That was the law until 1896. A man had to walk in front of a car which could not go faster than the man. At night the man had to carry a red lamp. Once Charles Rolls brought a car from France to England, but he wanted to drive faster than four miles an hour. In order to have no trouble with the police, he had a talk with some of the police officers, who ordered their policemen to look the other way when the car came along the road. This was a good plan in the country, but not so easy to follow in the busy streets of London. One night Rolls and some friends started from London on their journey to Cambridge. One of the men walked in front with the red lamp, but he walked as fast as he could. The police became very interested in walls and shop-fronts when they heard the car and not one of them saw it. They reached a hill, but what a waste of time it was to drive down the hill at four miles an hour! Rolls was getting ready to jump into the car, but then he noticed a policeman who was not looking the other way. The slow car reached him. “Good evening,” said the policeman, looking at the car. “Good evening,” said Rolls, holding the lamp. “One of these horseless things,” said the policeman, looking at it with interest. “Yes,” said Rolls, and waited. “I’ve often wanted a ride in one, but of course policemen can’t buy things like that.” He turned and looked hopefully in Rolls’s face. “Jump in,” said Rolls. “Thanks,” said the policeman, and did so. “Now,” he said, sitting down, “You can let it go just as you like down this hill. There isn’t another policeman on this road for a mile and a half.” 【1】The policemen were told “to look the other way” so that _______. A. they could watch the car coming from the other direction B. Rolls’s car could go faster than four miles an hour C. they could make sure no one was in the way D. the car would not hit them on the road 【2】In what way did the policemen carry out the order from their officers? A. They greeted Rolls when the car came along. B. They walked in front of the car with a red lamp. C. They pretended to be attracted by something else. D. They stood on duty every 1.5 miles along the road. 【3】The policeman who said “Good evening” to Rolls wanted to _______. A. teach Rolls a lesson B. take a free ride home C. have a talk with Rolls D. have a car ride experience 【4】After the policeman jumped into the car, Rolls _______. A. dared not drive the car faster than he was allowed to B. could drive as fast as he wished within a certain distance C. could drive on any road he liked for the rest of the journey D. drove his car as fast as he could down the hill to Cambridge |
