B2. C4. D5.59The passage implies that when the Solar PlugIn Station becomes popular，_.Amore visitors will come to ChicagoBmore space for electric vehicles will be neededCthe citizens of Chicago will be able to go to work fasterDthe cost of electric vehicles will be lower than traditional carsBThe Key to Your HealthA car needs gas to run and your body also needs food to work for you.Eating the right kind of food is very important.It can help your body grow strong to take care of what you eat.There are four main food groups altogether.The dairy group has food like milk，cheese and sour milk.The other three groups are the meat and fish group，the fruit and vegetable group，and the bread and rice group.Each meal should have at least one food from all four main groups.With all these food together，you will be given enough energy during the day.It is easy to get into bad eating habits.You may eat your breakfast in a hurry to get to school on time.Or you may not have time for a good lunch.It may seem easy to.But you will find yourself tired in these days and you can not think quickly.Watching what you eat will help your body remain healthy and strong.It is also good to take some exercise.It will help you eat more if you take a walk or play games in the open air.Having a good eating habit with some exercise is the key to your health.60Which of the following diets do you think is the best one?ACorn，fish，cream and pork.BEggs，tomatoes and chicken.CMilk，bread，cabbages and beef.DRice，beancurd，apples，fish and chicken.61Which of the following is a good eating habit?AGoing to school without any breakfast.BFinishing your lunch in a very short time.CEating fish and chips for supper all the time.DHaving at least one food from all four groups in each meal.62In this passage the writer mainly tells us that _.Aright kind of food with exercise will keep you healthyBtaking exercise can keep your body strongCevery person needs food to grow wellDenough energy helps people think more quickly63The underlined word “dairy” in the second paragraph means _.Athe shop that sells milk and butterBthe food made out of cows such as milk and butterCa farm where cows are keptDa place where milk products are made CEveryone knows that taxation is necessary in a modern state：Without it，it would not be possible to pay the soldiers and policemen who protect us；nor the workers in government offices who look after our health，our food，our water，and all the other things that we cannot do for ourselves；nor the ministers and members of parliament(国会) who govern the country for us.By means of taxation，we pay for things that we need just as much as we need somewhere to live and something to eat.But everyone knows that taxation is necessary，different people have different ideas about how taxation should be arranged.Should each person have to pay a certain amount of money to the government each year？Or should there be tax on things that people buy and sell？If the first kind of taxation is used，should everyone pay the same tax，whether he is rich or poor？If the second kind of tax is preferred，should everything be taxed equally?In most countries，a direct tax on persons，which is called income tax，exists.It is arranged in such a way that the poorest people pay nothing，and the percentage of tax grows greater as the taxpayers income grows.In England，for example，the tax on the richest people goes up as high as ninetyfive percent!But countries with direct taxation nearly always have indirect taxation too.Many things imported into the country have to pay taxes or “duties”Of course，it is the men and women who buy these imported things in the shops who really have to pay the duties，in the form of higher prices.In some countries，too，there is a tax on things sold in the shops.If the most necessary things are taxed，a lot of money is collected，but the poor people suffer most.If unnecessary things like jewels and fur coats are taxed，less money is got but the tax is fairer，as the rich pay it.Probably this last kind of indirect tax，together with a direct tax on incomes which is low for the poor and high for the rich，is the best arrangement.64The first paragraph tells us about the_.Atax policiesBtaxable itemsCarrangement of taxationDimportance of taxation65Which of the following statements about income tax is NOT true in most countries?AThe poorest pay no tax.BThe poor pay the same taxes as the rich.CThe rich pay more taxes than the poor.DThe rich pay a very high percentage of tax.66People who buy imported items in the shops have to pay duties_.Ato the government officeBat a lower priceCas an income taxDin the form of higher prices67According to the writer，if valuable things are taxed，_.Amuch money is collectedBthe poor suffer a lotCthe rich will be happyDthe tax is more reasonableDThe quality of drinking water in Shanghai will meet European Union standard by 2015 and，a decade later，citizens in Shanghai will drink the best water in the world.These were the goals set by the Shanghai Water Authority.With the citys population expected to increase only slightly and the economy to boom by 2020，Chen Yin，an official with the water authority，said Shanghais water consumption will not increase from its present amount.Zhang Yue，director of the Urban Construction Division under the Ministry of Construction，said，“Shanghai is the first city in the country to publicize these ambitions.They will not be easy to achieve.”He said water saving will help keep the sustainable development of Chinas economy.Saving one cubic meter of water means saving the citys infrastructure(基础设施) costs by 10,000 yuan.Last year，Shanghai saved 300 million cubic meters of water either from readjustment of industrial structure or the employment of new technology.“The_aim is to arouse public awareness of the seriousness of water shortage，” Chen said，“The abundant surface water and amount of rain of the city are so misleading that they result in improper use of water.”Shanghai lacks drinkable water.The Huangpu River，which supplies 80 percent of the citys drinkable water，is nearing exhaustion.The city，therefore，has been exploring new sources from the Yangtze River and growing forests along it to conserve quality water.Besides penning regulations，the authority is popularizing technology among the public to efficiently cut the amount of water used.At present，the city has 600,000 family toilets，each using 13 liters of water per flush.These are to be renovated(整修) to use only 9 liters of water per flush.The authority is renovating the first 200 toilets for householdsat a cost of 40 yuan each.In three years，all the toilets will be renovated，which saves the city nearly 15 million yuan every year in water conservation.Another task the city is engaged in is the treatment of sewage(污水) to improve the water environment.At present the city can only treat 44 percent of its daily 5.04 million tons of waste water.To meet the total demand,27 more sewagetreatment factories are to be established with an estimated investment of 18 billion yuan.68The people in Shanghai get their daily water mainly from _ now.Aunderground Bthe Yellow RiverCthe Yangtze River Dthe Huangpu River69The underlined words “the aim” here refer to _.Athe quality of drinking water in Shanghai will meet European Union standard by 2015Bcitizens in Shanghai will drink the best water in the world by 2025Cwater saving will help keep the sustainable development of Chinas economyDsaving one cubic meter of water means saving the citys infrastructure costs by 10,000 yuan70The authority is renovating the first 200 toilets for households to _.Amake peoples living more convenientBsave drinkable fresh waterCease employment pressureDmeet the total demand of
