The students from Class 2, Senior 2 of the High School Affiliated to Peking University certainly did so before they published their own collection of English novels at home.Their small book contains stories about a holy (神圣的) war, the happy life of a self-taught artist and the story of a laid-off worker who devoted his last breath to playing his beloved accordion (手风琴). The book becomes an instant hit on campus. About 3,000 copies have been sold and the class is already working on the second volume.Were up to our ears in homework. Exercises and exams make us out of breath. But to do something creative and full of imagination is such a great achievement, said Yu Xiaoxiao, 16. I took the writing as an ordinary homework at the beginning, but after I finished the first part of my story, I could not help but let it flow, said Wang An, who wrote Accordion.Inspired by Lord of the Rings, Jiang Lu wrote his story about magic wins between angels from the light and the dark side. The main message of the story was to look at the balance of the world. Both dark and light angels fight with love as their weapons. I want to tell people that selfish love might bring hate, Jiang said.I was shocked by their work and felt so proud to be the editor of my students book, said Nathaniel Timmermann, the oral English teacher at the school. Liu Xiuqin, an English teacher, started the project by asking students to write whatever was in their mind every week. They have performed beyond expectation, Liu said. They wrote interesting stories and their English has improved after they started to express their real minds.We never imagined that our homework would be so popular and profitable (盈利的). We sell the novels at five yuan, but many teachers pay more to encourage us, said Yuan Mengyao.56. After Wang An finished the first part of his story, he _. A. couldnt go on B. had to put aside C. just wanted to express it freely D. lost it57. What was NOT the outcome of the students homework of writing whatever was in their mind? A. Being popular. B.

Many inventors and companies are working on their versions of flying cars that they hope will revolutionize personal travel.The front runner in the race to build the first workable flying car is Paul Moiler, who has spent forty years building and testing personal aircraft. His current version of flying car is the Skycar, the M400, which reaches 400 mph and has a range of 750 miles. Its fuel mileage will match that of a medium-sized car, getting 20 miles to one gallon of gasoline. In accidents, it would use parachutes and both interior and exterior air bags to ensure a soft landing. So far there is only one copy of the M400 for personal use. Moiler predicts a commercial version of the Skycar will be available in ten or fifteen years.Macro Industries of Huntsville, Alabama is developing a flying car called the Skyrider X2-R. The X2-R has a maximum speed of 355 mph with a range of 800 miles. Macro Claims that the production version of their flying car will be available in about five years.The CarterCopter, being developed by Carter Aviation Technologies, can fly at five hundred miles an hour. Company founder, Jay Carter, does not consider creating a production model in the near future. He does suggest, however, that when the first production model is available, it can take a handful of passengers between nearby cities, beating commercial jets (喷气式飞机) because the trip would be between downtown heliports, removing the need to go to distant airports.All of these flying cars Will never get off the ground unless there is a tracking system to control them while they are in flight. Fortunately, NASA has developed the Highway in the Sky. Using satellites and global positioning system, it will provide a heads-up display for a pilot. It will be much like a video game, creating a kind of virtual box in which the pilot has to keep his vehicle from crashing into other flying cars.60. From the passage, we can learn that _. A. Paul Moiler is the first to experiment on flying cars B. the Skycar consumes less fuel than a medium-sized car C. the Skycar is equipped with effective protective equipment D. the Skycar is the fastest flying car ever invented61. So far, if people want to experience flying cars, they can only turn to _. A. the Skycar, the M400 B. the Skyrider X2-R C. the CarterCopter D. Highway in the Sky62. What does Jay Carter think of the present commercial jets? A. They can t carry as many passengers as flying cars. B. They are not suitable for short-distance flights. C. Passengers will be charged too much for taking them. D. They sometimes waste time and cause the trouble of traveling long distance.63. What is the Highway in the Sky? A. It is a new type of flying car. B. It is a kind of video game. C. It is a global positioning system. D. It is a tracking system.CIt doesnt feel like it, but we got a rise this week. The sliding price of oil, which made OPEC decide to announce a production cut, has put money in the pockets of consumers, who worry about the world-wide recession (经济衰退).The high price of gasoline has greatly changed driving patterns, perhaps permanently. We are seeing changes in habits. says Julian Lee from the Center for Global Energy Studies in London. People now prefer to buy small cars instead of gas-consuming SUVs. If we see this change it becomes a much longer term issue with long-term demand destruction.In the short term, theres simple math. The price slide could save drivers a great deal of money. However, because the U.S. is out of its peak summer driving season, theres not toe much of an encouragement to drive a lot more just because gas prices are down.Oil demand in the U.S. has dropped 10% in the few weeks, continuing a year long trend. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, Americans drove 15 billion fewer miles in August, or 5.6% less than they did the year before. DOT says its the largest ever year-to-year decline recorded in a single month.Due to falling worldwide demand, oil price dropped to its lowest level in more than a year. For months leaders of oil-rich countries have watched nervously as world oil prices have been more than 50% lower than the all-time high in July.All of this spells disasters for OPEC. Iran and Venezuela have pushed fellow OPEC members to make big enough cuts in production to change the plunge in prices in Vienna on Thursday for OPECs emergency meeting. OPEC countries method of fixing their combined out-put has for years hugely influenced world prices, since OPECs 13 members account for about one-third of the world s total oil supplies.64. According to the passage, we got a rise this week because _. A. the consumers seldom use their cars at present B. well face financial problems in the recession C. the OPEC countries will buy us gasoline for cars D. well spend much less money on gasoline for ears65. In the writers opinion, the reason people prefer to small ears is that _. A. small ears are more beautiful than SUVs B. SUVs will cause much more air pollution C. small cars cost much less on gasoline than SUVs D. SUVs waste too much energy and pollute the air66. The following statements are all true EXCEPT _. A. Americans drove about 15 billion fewer miles this year B. oil demand in America has been dropping for one year C. DOT stands for the U.S. Department of Transportation D. more ears are on the road in summer than in other seasons67. The underlined word plunge in the last paragraph most probably means _. A. the action of pulling up B. delaying or putting off C. sudden moving downward D. severe financial problemDDriving to a friend s house on a recent evening, I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friends rooftops, I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it was that most city people usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors, Myself included!My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. It had touched much of his life.I know the feeling. Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest-house with no electricity or running hot water. Our group had campfire outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It was one of the quietest places I have ever known, a bottomless well of silence. And above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply.Today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fibre-glass. We have televisions, cell phones, electricity, heaters and ovens, air-conditioners, cars, computers . Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of it spent indoors, I thought: before long, I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grog vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains and perhaps write, but not in anger. I may become an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons. But I will be able to walk outside on a cool silent night and touch the moon.68. The writer managed to convince us that _. A. he was so touched by the moon B. he enjoyed pleasures of modem life C. he was afraid of a bottomless well of silence D. he planned to break away from modem life69. The writer felt sorry for himself because _. A. there was too much pollution B. he often missed the fullest moon C. he didn t adapt to modem inventions D. there were many accidents on the road70. What impressed the writer most in the mountainous jungle of northern India? , A. No modern equipment. B. Complete silence. C. Campfires in the moon. D. The high mountains.71. Modern things( in Paragraph 4)are mentioned mainly to _. A. show that the writer likes city life very much B. tell us that people greatly benefit from modern life C. explain that people have less chances to enjoy nature D. show that we can also enjoy nature at home through themEConsumers at the Whale Inside Dark Restaurant are led by a waiter with night-vision Goggles (夜视镜).
