【題目】In the US and Britain, the slogan around colleges was “Save water. Shower with a friend.” Now, Wuhan University has come up with another system for the campus bathhouse. It charges students for the amount of time in a shower. Before entering the bathhouse, students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower with cash or their student ID card. The clock starts ticking the minute the tape is turned on. It pauses when a button is pressed for soap. An integrated circuit(IC) card reader at each tap shows the time. No money, no water. The benefits of the new system can be seen with the old system, which charged 1 Yuan for each person regardless of time in the shower. The university used about 320 tones of water daily under the old system, but only 160 tons now.

Many students use the new system but opinions on it are divided. Some students say it is bad because bathing had become a sort of race. Many people using it for the first time are not sure how long they need to shower. Some might be embarrassed if their time is up and they’re still covered in soap. They have to ask the bathhouse worker to help them buy extra time.

“It’s a flaw in the system that you can not buy extra time on the ID card,” said Ren, a freshman in Wuhan University. The university is also considering some students’ suggestions that they be allowed to pay after they’ve finished the shower. Not surprisingly, some are complaining about losing the hour shower. But many students say the move helps them develop a water-saving sense.

Without the time limits, most students tended to shower for 30 to an hour in the bathhouse.

Some even used the hot water to wash their clothes. “In my experience, 10-20 minutes is enough,” said Dai Zhihua, a third-year student who usually takes 8 minutes.

A similar system has been installed in other universities. Shanghai Normal University introduced it at its Fengxiang Campus in September. The bathing fee there is 0.2 Yuan per minute. One male student responded by setting a record with a two-minute shower.

【1】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. Students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower.

B. The clock times all through while the student is bathing except when the bather paused for soap.

C. If money runs out, there will be no water.

D. Having finished bathing, the student has to pay for it.

【2】The underline word “flaw” (Paragraph3) most probably means______.

A. perfection B. advantage C. pity D. fault

【3】Since the new system has performed, ______ of water can be saved.

A. a quarter B. one third

C. one half D. two thirds

【4】 It can be inferred from the passage that______.

A. the new operation can solve the water crisis.

B. The new operation can raise students’ environmental awareness.

C. a similar operation has been set in other universities.

D. The university has saved a lot of water by using the new system.

【5】 In which column can you find this passage?

A. People. B. Society

C. Campus Life. D. Lifestyle.

試題分析：作者在本文中學(xué)生了武漢大學(xué)節(jié)水新系統(tǒng)，這種新系統(tǒng)可以讓學(xué)生早洗澡時(shí)節(jié)約很多水。同時(shí)培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的環(huán)保意識。

【1】D 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第一段3,4行Before entering the bathhouse, students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower with cash or their student ID card.可知學(xué)生是在洗澡之前就要付錢，而不是洗澡以后才付錢。故D正確。

【2】D 猜測詞義題。根據(jù)下一行The university is also considering some students’ suggestions that they be allowed to pay after they’ve finished the shower.可知有學(xué)生建議允許他們在洗澡以后再付不足的錢。說明學(xué)生認(rèn)為這個(gè)系統(tǒng)有錯(cuò)誤。故D正確。

【3】C 計(jì)算題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句The university used about 320 tones of water daily under the old system, but only 160 tons now.可知新系統(tǒng)中學(xué)生用水量是舊系統(tǒng)的一半。故C正確。

【4】B 推理題。作者在本文中學(xué)生了武漢大學(xué)節(jié)水新系統(tǒng)，這種新系統(tǒng)可以讓學(xué)生洗澡時(shí)節(jié)約很多水。同時(shí)培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的環(huán)保意識。故B正確。

【5】C 推理題。本文敘述的是武漢大學(xué)中發(fā)生的事情，所以最可能是雜志中校園生活版塊內(nèi)容。故C正確。

As we all know, travelling can be an excited experience. Let me give you some advices that you have to pay attention. You can find out more about your destination by surf the Internet before you set out. You needn’t take too many cash.

【題目】You have heard the expression “horse sense”. As you may imagine, it came from the time when the majority of people traveled in vehicles drawn by horses. A horse does have a lot of common sense, and there are many true stories about horses having saved their drivers from danger of death.

Today for the most part, people travel by train, ship, airplane, and car, but very little by the use of horses. Modern vehicles are propelled by engines, and an engine does not have any sense. In case of danger, many horses could be depended on to help. Not so with the engine; the driver must do all the things.

In recent years, the speed of travel has increased greatly. With the increased speed comes greatly increased danger. The driver of a powerful engine needs to be careful. A moment of being careless may cost a life. In order to drive today, a person must be able to see clearly, and he must learn and follow carefully the rules for safety on the road. Greater attention is the price we pay for using a machine instead of a horse.

【1】The passage mainly talks about ______.

A. engines B. safe driving

C. using horses D. modern machines

【2】The underlined word “propel” in the second paragraph means ______.

A. repair B. raise C. push forward D. made

【3】It can be inferred from the passage that ______.

A. a driver must know the rules of safety

B. a driver needs to be able only to tell red from green

C. an eye test is an important part of a driver’s examination

D. greater attention is needed for a driver while driving a machine

【4】 Which of the following is NOT true?

A. A driver must be able to see and hear well.

B. The driver of a car must follow the rules of safety.

C. Horses are known to have saved their drivers from injury.

D. It is better for vehicles to be pulled by horse than to be pushed by engine.
