After years of hearing drivers complain about scratches (劃痕) on their cars, Japan’s Nissan Motor Company has officially announced the next big thing--a paint that not only resists scratches and scrapes, but actually repairs itself within a few days.
The new material, developed by Nippon Paint Company, contains an elastic rubbery-like resin (彈性樹脂) that is able to heal minor (較小的) marks caused by car wash equipment, parking lot encounters, road debris (石頭碎片) or even on-purpose destruction.
The automaker admits its results vary depending on the temperature and the depth of the damage, but adds “this is the only paint like it in the world, and tests prove it works.”
Minor scratches, the most common type, are said to slowly fade over about a week. And once they’re gone, there is no trace (痕跡) that they were ever there.
The special paint is said to last for at least three years after it is first applied, but there is no word yet on whether more can be added after that period.
Nissan claims car washes are the worst offenders for this type of damage, accounting for at least 80 percent of all incidents.
But the complete auto-healing won’t come without scratching your wallet. The vehicle maker notes the special paint adds about $ 100 US to the price of a car.
It plans to use its new chemical mixture only on its X-Trail SUVs in Japan for now, as it looks for a more widespread presentation. And while plans to offer the feature overseas haven’t been made yet, if it’s a hit there, you can be almost sure market forces will drive it to these shores as well.
小題1: From the article, we can find that_______.
A．the paint has already been used on cars by now
B．the paint beats other products of its kind in its lengthy effect
C．car damage is mainly caused by scratches and scrapes
D．marketing this paint in Europe is not under way
小題2:The paint used on cars can_________.
A．last 3 years before it is re-applied again
B．fade only in a few days
C．help cars recover from minor paint damage
D．reduce car scrape incidents to 20 percent
小題3:What does the underlined part refer to?
A．Certain models of Nissan.B．Name for one kind of paint.
C．Somewhere in Japan.D．A word standing for a car-dealer store.
小題4: What can be inferred from the article?
A．The paint was developed by Nissan Motor Company.
B．The paint might work better in summer than in winter.
C．The mark on the car could disappear as soon as the paint is applied.
D．The paint is very popular in Japan.

The concept of solar power satellites, or SPS, first put forward in the 1960s, is still not widely known by the general public. For example, at many public exhibitions about energy, SPS is not even mentioned. This is mainly because very little money has been spent on SPS research
There are people who claim that SPS is unrealistic － because launch costs are much too high today; or because it is too far away. So why do we believe that it is important to continue to do researches on SPS? The reason is very simple.
Humans are going to need huge amounts of electric power in coming decades. Within 50 years the world population is expected to double, while economic growth will continue around the world, especially in the poorer countries. But existing energy sources already face serious problems. They are limited; they are polluted; they are dangerous. So 50 or 100 years from now, where is our power going to come from? Nobody knows. And so we believe that new large-scale possibilities should be studied further.
We must remember that humans have some choices concerning our future. To some extent we can choose the direction in which our civilization develops. And choices that are made in the coming decades － such as the energy sources that we will or will not use, will have major, long-term meaning for human life on earth. We believe that if research continues to show that SPS is environmentally and economically attractive, SPS will open the door to a much more attractive future for human civilization than any ground-based energy source, and one that the public will support and that young people will find challenging and exciting. Furthermore energy from SPS can be readily used in developing countries, as the SPS 2000 project will show, thus aiding economic development worldwide. In addition, by creating large commercial fund for space engineering, SPS will open the frontier of space to economic development, thus creating a limitless new field for the growth of the world economy.
小題1:Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?
A．The Future Energy－ SPSB．The Concept of SPS
C．Humans and SPSD．Advantages of SPS
小題2:Which of the following statements about SPS is TRUE?
A．The research on SPS started in the 1960s is still not appreciated by the public.
B．The research is showing SPS can benefit environment and economy at present.
C．The energy from SPS is now being used in some developing countries.
D．The public don’t know about SPS because little time is devoted to the research.
小題3:Paragraph 3 mainly talks about ______.
A．the present serious energy problems
B．where to get energy sources in the future
C．the importance of controlling world population
D．the need to explore new energy sources
小題4:The writer’s attitude towards the research can best be summarized by the saying “______”.
A．In time of peace prepare for war
B．Put the cart before the horse
C．One man’s meat is another man’s poison
D．Easier said than done

However important we may regard school life to be, there is always the fact that children spend more time at home than in the classroom. Therefore, the teacher should realize that parents have a great influence on their children. Parents can become strong allies (助手) of the school or they can get in the way of the school education.
Experts have realized the need to keep parents informed of the newer methods used in schools. Many headmasters have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness, program writing and mathematics to parents.
Moreover, the classroom teacher, with the permission of the supervisors(管理者), can also play an important part in giving more knowledge to reporting pupils progress, teachers can help parents a lot in educating their children and parents can give much help to teachers.
Suppose that a father has been drilling Junior arithmetic lessons night after night. In a friendly talk between the teacher and the father, the teacher can help the parent to make Junior interested in it. He might be persuaded to let Junior join in discussing the family budget, buying the food, using a ruler or measuring cup at home, setting the clock, calculating the distance of a trip and engaging in scores of other activities that have a mathematical basis.
If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to say that he will soon realize that his son is making satisfactory progress in mathematics, and at the same time, enjoying the work.
Too often, however, teachers’ talks with parents are devoted to small accounts of children’s misdemeanors(不良行為). They talk about the laziness and poor work habits of the children.
What is needed is a more creative way in which the teacher, as an adviser, plants ideas in parents’ minds to make sure that the child spends the many hours out of the classroom learning something useful.
In this way the school and the home join forces in educating children.
小題1:The main idea of the passage is that ____.
A．home training is more important than school training
B．parents should help their children to do their homework
C．there’re many ways in which the mathematics program can be carried out at home
D．teachers can and should help parents to use better ways to teach their children
小題2:From this passage we can know that the writer ____.
A．is satisfied with the relationship between school and home
B．feels that parent-teacher talks can be made much more constructive
C．believes that schools can’t teach pupils well
D．calls on parents to teach their children mathematics at home
小題3:What way that the writer doesn’t talk about can improve the present situation?
A．Classes for parents.B．New type of report card.
C．Parent-teacher talk. D．Dinner or party.
小題4:The writer implies that ____.
A．interesting activities can improve one’s achievement
B．too many children are lazy and have poor work habits
C．teachers should often make home visits to parents
D．headmasters do more than teachers in this area
小題5:We can infer from the passage that the writer does not favor ____.
A．father’s helping his son with his study
B．written reports to the parents from the teachers
C．talking about children’s shortcomings
D．having the parents help their children with their lessons

Free energy is everywhere around us. There are many ways to make and collect energy from various sources like sun, wind and water. People also realize that everyday stuff can be a source of energy too. For example, riding a bike, running or just walking, etc. We simply have to change our way of thinking if we want to change the world.
So comes the idea of solar roadways. Are they the road of future? Why use roads just for driving and collecting tolls (過路費)? Why don’t we use them for collecting energy?
The US Department of Transportation recently awarded $100,000 to Solar Roadways to build the first ever Solar Road Panel. So how do these future roads work?
The Solar Road Panels will contain embedded (嵌入的) LEDs which “paint” the road lines from beneath to provide safer nighttime driving as well as to give drivers instant instructions such as detour (繞行) ahead. The road will be able to sense wildlife on the road and can warn drivers to “slow down”. There will also be embedded heating elements in the surface to prevent snow and ice buildup, providing safer winter driving.
Replacing asphalt (瀝青) roads and parking lots with Solar Roadway Panels will be a major step toward stopping climate change. Fully electric vehicles will be able to recharge along the roadway and in parking lots, finally making electric cars practical for long trips.
We just can’t wait to see more of these roads all over the world in the near future.
小題1:The first paragraph serves as a(n)______.
A．a(chǎn)rgumentB．commentC．explanationD．background
小題2:Which of the following is NOT true of LEDs?
A．They color the road lines.
B．They are embedded in the Solar Road Panels.
C．They are beneficial for nighttime driving.
D．They can provide instant instructions.
小題3: When some animals are on the solar road, what will the road do?
A．Guide them to a safer place.B．Remind drivers to drive slowly.
C．Frighten them away from the road.D．Advise drivers to choose another way.
小題4: From the text, we can know that the Solar Road Panels can______.
A．provide heat for drivers in winter
B．guide drivers who get lost on the highway
C．melt snow and ice soon in winter
D．help drivers see the road clearly in the sun

“How can I learn English well?” This is a question many students ask. In my opinion, the most effective way is to learn lessons by heart. If you can recite(背誦) the text and write it out, you’ve learned it fairly well. And if you can tell, in your own words, what the lesson says, you’re a very successful learner indeed. Your English will be quite perfect.
This is a difficult task. However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson, you’ll find it not half so hard as you might have thought. Learning this way, you will make rapid progress. Of course, writing is also necessary. It helps you a lot on our way to success in English.
Equally important is to feel the language. You should be able to laugh at jokes and be shocked at bad news. When using English, try to forget your mother tongue. Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way. So, never try to see English through translation.
小題1:In the writer’s opinion, the most effective way in learning English is _______.
A．to practise speaking, writing and feeling it
B．to memorize the English words and grammatical rules
C．to translate everything into his own language
D．to forget your own native language
小題2:“Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way.”This sentence means that memorizing your own language can ________.
A．stop you mastering EnglishB．help you study English well
C．make English easy to learnD．help you notice mistakes
小題3:The underlined words“to feel the language” here means________.
A．to get a knowledge of English by touching
B．to be able to read and write English
C．to be able to experience the rich feeling of the language
D．to translate English into your own by imagining
