these future cars will run on hydrogen (氢), electricity and even air. there may even be a few future flying cars that sail above traffic during rush hour. these cars will be very green, and they will be very safe for people to use.in the cities of the future, every building will have smart technology. many buildings using solar energy will produce more electricity than they use. they will be linked into the smart grid(电网), selling power back. the smart grid can send the power to other parts of the city where it is needed most.in future cities, robots will take over many tasks. some kinds of robots will take over peoples jobs in factories. other kinds of robots will help people at home. since robots will set people free from work and chores, people will have a lot of time to travel. however, people will only travel for pleasure as there will be no need to travel for business in the world.21. what do we know about future cities?a. traveling for business will be common. b. robots will play a big role in peoples livesc. solar panels will be common in future cities.d. people will no longer want to travel for pleasure.e. buildings will be able to offer power to the smart grid.f. people will have difficulty dealing with the extra power.a a, c, f b b, c, e c b, c, f d c, e, f22. what is paragraph 3 mainly about?a. what energy cars will use in the future.b. why cars in the future will be differentc. how people will drive in the futured. what cars will be like in the future.23. whats the writers purpose in writing this text?a. to suggest that we should help make cities clean.b. to tell us what cities in the future will be like.c. to explain why life in the future will be differentd. to introduce some high technologies of the futurebriley mack and the other known troublemakers by chris grabensteingenre (类型)：mysterynumber of pages: 320whats the basic story line?riley mack and his friends mongo, briana, jake and jamal try to save mongos dog from a dognapper(偷狗人). during the rescue, they find 57 other barking dogs in tiny cages and realize that mongos dog is not the only one that is stolen. they made a plan to save the dogs with the help of animal lovers miss grabowski and her boy friend.are the characters believable?almost all of the characters in this story are very believable. riley is not a perfect child, and he disobeys his mom when he tries to save the dogs. still, he does it for a good cause, and that makes him seem very real. the only character that i find unbelievable is chief brown, as its hard to imagine that any policeman would ever be as selfish and greedy(贪婪的) as he is.how would i rate this book?i would rate this book a 10 on a scale of 1to 10. it has many cliff- hangers(紧张情节), which made me want to keep reading, and it is very fast- paced. i really like the leading character riley. his ideas are really creative. for example, he covers the rescue truck in dog food ads so the dognapper wont know where the dogs are. i also enjoy how each of the kids has a special talent. this is by far one of my favorite books, and i would recommend riley mack and the other known troublemakers to anyone who enjoys mysteries and adventures.24. the book riley mack and the other known troublemakers is mainly about some kids who _.a run away form their homes b look for an adventure in the wildc get their parents into troubles d try to save dogs from a dognapper25. what do we know about riley?a. he is selfish and greedy b. he has a very creative mindc. he doesnt like doing good deeds d. he is a perfect child in his mothers eyes.26. who would most probably be interested in reading this book?a. children who want to know how to care for a dog.b. children who love reading mystery and adventure stories.c. children who love reading touching stories about friendship.d. children who want to know how to get along well with their parents.27. the text is most probably _a. a book review b. from a diary c. an advertisement d. from a research papercdo you often hear adults say “no” before youve even finished asking a question? from parents to coaches, it seems that adults dont like to listen to teenagers, which is really frustrating. dont worry. here is how to get them to see things your way!cell phone blues. ( you need a cell phone. but mom and dad dont think its a good idea.)instead of saying “ but everybody else has one”, try the following idea- convince your parents that having a cell phone will actually benefit them, too. theyll be able to get in touch with you at all times, especially in case of an emergency. then you will have to deal with their other concern: the fee. offer to pay part of the fee with your pocket money or by doing extra chores around the house.a new position. ( its time for a change. youre ready to play a new position on the basketball team.)instead of saying “ why do you always make me play defense? i would score more goals than john if you were to give me his position.” try this: watch the one who plays the position that youd like to try, so that you can get the skills that youll need. the practice those skills. tell the coach that youre interested in the position, and youre sure to do it well. if he gives you a chance, go all out and show him tat you are better. if he doesnt agree right away, dont give up. show that youre a team player for any position, and youll get your dream position sooner or later.no matter what the situation is, your first step should be trying thinking like an adult. what would make adults feel better about giving you what youre asking for? and if you can show them that whatever you want will also benefit them, youve found your winning card.28. what should you do if you want your parents to buy a cell phone for you? a. do much more homework after school b. show them your skills in doing housework c. reduce their burden by offering to pay part of the fee on your own d. let them know that you are able to communicate with more people29. the underlined phrase “go all out” probably means “_”. a seek help b teach yourself c save your time d try your best30. adults probably agree to your request when _. a you show them that you have grown up b you show them that it will also be good for them c you are ready to do what they expect from youd you have succeeded in getting your winning card31. what is the best title of the text?a. how to get adults to satisfy your desiresb. how to express your desires to adultsc. how to get along well with adultsd. how to perform more excellently than othersdholidays are something that we long for, save tons of () money for, and prepare for long ahead of time. weve always been told to get familiar with the culture of the place that we will visit. then we will know where to go and get the most out of our travels.maybe you prepare for your holidays by making a schedule of which museum you want to see, where you want to eat, and what night activities you will enjoy. or maybe you join a guided tour and stop at the places of interest, one after another in a rather busy schedule. you have so little free time that you dont even have enough time to take a good photo.i want to invite you to do the total opposite. just go out and get lost. follow your senses. most of the time we are so limited by the rules in our life that we cant really get relaxed. if at a time of rest and relaxation such as our holidays, we still cant really free ourselves, we are missing out on the fun.remember that any plan can stop you having fun from the bottom of your heart. you cant plan for a beautiful afternoon in italy while you just linger() on the square of your small town, watching people pass by.i want to give you a suggestion that seems crazy but interesting: dont prepare for your holidays. just walk out of your hotel and follow your scenes. if you pass by a restaurant that smells good, go and try it out. take the subway and get off at any stop that you like to.32. whats the disadvantage of a guided tour?a. you cant eat what you like b. you cant wear what you favorc. you cant decide where to go d. you have little free time to do what you want to do33. by
