No Car Day was first started by 34 cities in France on September 22, 1998. It was started to protect the environment. By now, more than 1,000 cities around the world have had a No Car Day.
The first No Car Day in China was in Chengdu in 2001. Other cities including Taipei, Shanghai and Wuhan, also support the day.
In Beijing, more and more people are taking part in the activity. It asks drivers to leave their cars at home for one day each month and walk or ride a bike to work. It also calls on Beijingers not to use cars on June 5th (World Environment Day). The slogan(口號) for the day is, “ If we drive for one less day, we can have one more nice day.”
So far, more than 200,000 drivers have shown their support. “We can’t control the weather, but we can choose not to drive,” said Wu Zhonghua, a car club chairman. Beijing is trying to have 238 blue sky days this year. In the first quarter of 2007, Beijing only had 52 blue sky days. This was 11 days less than the number for the same period last year. Much of the dust comes from the desert, but cars cause most of the air pollution. We must do more for No Car Day.

小題2:C是正確答案，因為從It asks drivers to leave their cars at home for one day each month and walk or ride a bike to work.這句話可以得知。
小題3:B是正確答案，因為從It also calls on Beijingers not to use cars on June 5th (World Environment Day).這句話可以得知。
小題4:D是正確答案，因為從文章開始No Car Day was first started by 34 cities in France on September 22, 1998.就得知。而且D項與A項相互矛盾。
小題5:C是正確答案，因為從In Beijing, more and more people are taking part in the activity.就可以得知。A項意思說的不對，不是越來越多的人加入汽車俱樂部，而是加入無車日這項活動。B項世界環(huán)境日只有一天，而不是每月都有。D項汽車俱樂部主席的意思是無車日這天不開車，而不是永遠不開車。

Drinking water is good for your health. There are some scientific ways of drinking water.
1. It is the best medicine to drink two glasses of water in the morning.
2. Drink clean water.
3. Drink the water that has not been boiled.
Many people think boiled water is safe and good to people’s health. In fact, it is not true. The boiling point of water is 100℃. By boiling it, most bacteria（細菌）in water can be killed. In the past, the water was less polluted. So boiling was a good way to make clean water. But heavy metals and other dangerous things in today’s water are much more terrible than bacteria. Boiling doesn’t fix that problem. And boiling water may give us more of the dangerous things in our glass.
4. Never use soft drinks to take the place of water.
5. Water is also needed in winter.

2) Drinking water at about 10 am helps your body keep enough water.
3) Drinking water at about 3 pm can clean out the wastes in your body.

Recently, more and more people pay attention to eating healthily. Some food additives(添加劑) are used to make different kinds of foods. Some of them can make the food more delicious and some of them can make it colorful. But lots of chemicals are used to produce what we eat every day.
Sudan red is a kind of chemical that factories used it to dye cloth, make the shoes brighter. But some people produced salted duck eggs with it . However, it isn’t a kind of food additive. The food made from Sudan red makes it easier to cause cancer. Melamine(三聚氰胺) is another kind of chemical that are banned(禁止). It’s white crystal(晶體), which was discovered by a German chemist called Sustus Von Liebig in 1834. Melamine can be used to make paper, medicine and woods, ect. But nobody can imagine that some people used it as a material of milk powder(粉末). Because of melamine, it’s reported that 4 babies died and more than 50 thousand babies are affected since 2008. Sanlu, a famous milk powder factory was closed. What’s worse, milk powder with melamine appeared in 2011 again. Problems of food safety, for example, poisonous rice, lean meat powder(瘦肉精) and plasticizers(塑化劑) are becoming more and more serious.

Robots have come a long way since 15th century. We’ve got robots to build cars, carry heavy things, work in dangerous places and explore planets. But things haven’t stopped there.
In 1986, Honda made a robot called ASIMO. And now, it has been developed greatly. Standing at 130cm and weighing 54kg. ASIMO is very much like a small astronaut wearing a bag on the back. And he can walk, flight, climb and run fast. Isn’t it wonderful?
The world’s first robot teacher is Saya. With her human-like face, she can show expressions like happiness, surprise, sadness, dislike, fear and she can even smile or show anger at students, which look much like a real teacher’s. To do this, her rubber skin is pulled from the back with motors inside. And her eyes and mouth have wires(電線) too. She can also say some simple words like “hello” or “thank you”.
In the UK, the development of robots is exciting. The mini-robots will send food, clean floors, collect and throw away waste. These robots can open doors by themselves and stop if anything or anyone is in the way.
These mini-robots are very useful for controlling infection(傳染). Usually clean and dirty work is done by the same person, but here, you’ll have robots that do”dirty work”, like collecting dirty sheets, or taking away hospital waste; and you’ll have robots that do”clean work”, like bringing meals or clean sheets to patients. The robots have separate work so there’s no way for infection, which is great. But of course, robots would not take the piece of humans, but would free up more time for nurses to be with patients.
But if this is what it’s like in 2011, what’s it going to be like to 2021?
小題1:In the following, which is ASIMO’s behavior?
A．Smiling at people, saying “hello”.
B．Sending food or opening doors by himself
C．Fighting, climbing or running fast
D．Collecting waste for patients
小題2:What makes Saya look real?
A．Her face and rich expressionsB．Her clothes and shoes
C．Her walking and running speedD．Her rich knowledge
小題3:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Robots have come a long way since 1986.
B．The first robot teacher was made by Honda.
C．Saya looks like a small astronaut.
D．If anyone or anything is in the way, mini-robots will stop.
小題4:The main idea of Paragraph 5 is that _______.
A．nurses would have more free time with patients
B．robots would not take the place of humans
C．dirty and clean work is always done by the same person
D．mini-robots are useful for controlling infection

Hundreds of years ago, life was harder than it is today. People didn’t have modern machines. There was no medicine, either.
Life today brings new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and we become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution to all living things in the world.
Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day. Sometimes the polluted air is very thick. People cannot see the sky clearly.
Many countries are making rules to fight against pollution. Factories now must clean their water before they throw it away. And they mustn’t let dirty smoke go into the air.
There are many things we can do to fight against pollution. We should put waste things in dustbins and do not throw them on the ground. We should go to work by bike or on foot instead of taking a car or a bus. If there are fewer people driving, there will be less pollution.
Rules are not enough. We should do our best to fight against pollution.
