Although the first airplane did not fly until 1903, flying soon became the fastest method of transport. Today it is1peoples favorite way of travelling long distances because it has a lot of advantages. The first airplanes were not big or powerful enough to carry more than a pilot, but during the First World War (1914- 1918) larger aircraft with up to four engines were2to carry bombs(炸弹). After the war some of these were changed to carry a few passenger services. In 1919 the first regular passenger services were started between several cities in Europe.Air transport was even then too3for most cargoes(货物), but mail began to be carried by air at an early stage. This was partly because letters are small and light, and partly because businessmen, especially, were prepared to pay more for their mail to be delivered by the fastest method.4, in the United States, where letters could take over a week to cross the country by train, airmail services were the first regular transport flights.The early passenger aircraft could carry only about 12 passengers, and only enough5for short journeys. For long distances, such as from Europe to the United States, aircraft filled with very light gas and able to float through the air, began to be used in the 1930s.By the end of the Second World War in 1945, much larger airplanes had been made. At the same time, military(军事的) airfields had been built all over the world, and long distance routes had been set up. After the war, the introduction of the jet engine, which6much greater power, allowed even bigger and faster aircraft to be built. Todays wide-bodied airplanes can carry as many as 800 passengers.Modern air transport passenger services are quite convenient. Air transport has allowed more people to travel abroad than ever before.（1）A . quietly B . easily C . directly D . recently （2）A . recognized B . considered C . developed D . described （3）A . expensive B . ordinary C . traditional D . private （4）A .

When the Audet family turns on the lights at Blue Farm, they are using electricity that comes from cows- cow manure(粪肥).Cows produce a lot of waste. One cow can create 30 gallons of waste each day. Now imagine the output of over 1,000 cows at Blue Farm. Thats really a big amount.When farmers clean their barns, they put the waste together，and spread some of it on their fields for fertilizer(肥料). But now places like Blue Farm have a new way of using cow waste. They use it to produce electricity.Heres how it works: A big machine moves back and forth cleaning the barn floor. The cows are animals of habit; they get used to it,and just lift one foot and then another to let it go by. says Marie Audet.The machine pushes the manure into a big 600-gallon tank like a small swimming pool. The tank is called a digester(化粪池) because what happens there is just like what happens inside a cow: Bacteria(细菌) get to work and continue to digest the manure.Methane gas(甲烷;沼气) in the atmosphere is known as a greenhouse gas because it keeps heat just like a greenhouse does, causing our planet to warm up. Thats an environmental concern. But the digester has a good result. Its gas is kept and used to power electric generators(发电机).At Blue Farm, the generators make enough electricity to power 400 homes. The Audet family sells the extra electricity they cant use themselves.（1）We learn from the text that the Audet family is using cow waste to _. A . make electricityB . produce fertilizerC . build their farmD . feed the cows（2）How is the cow waste collected into the digester at Blue Farm? A . Marie Audet does the work.B . The job is done by a big machine.C . The cows lift the cow waste.D . Bacteria get to work on them.（3）According to the passage, _ is changed into electricity. A . the power of moving waterB . the heat of burning coalC . the power of sunlightD . the heat of the methane gas（4）The new way of using cow waste at Blue Farm might be best described as _. A . reducingB . savingC . recyclingD . changing（5）The electricity made by the generators can give power to _ homes at Blue Farm. A . 1, 000B . 400C . 30D . 600（6）What is the main purpose of writing the passage? A . To introduce a new way of making electricity.B . To explain how a new kind of energy works better.C . To show a new rebuilding plan for a big farm.D . To explain the reasons for the greenhouse effect.四、 补全对话 (共1题；共5分)16. （5分）根据下面对话中的情境，在每个空白处填入一个适当的语句，使对话恢复完整。A: Do you like ping-pong?B: _.
