　　A very rapid increase in the number of cars began almost immediately after they were invented to meet the need for the regular rapid transportation and convenience．The car is such a part of our everyday life and so much taken for granted nowadays that we rarely think twice when we get into it and get it started．The USA is even referred to as“a nation on wheels”．But how many of you have ever thought how the car is designed and operated?

　　In cars of normal design, the petrol system is made up of three main parts：storage tank, a pump and a carburetor．

　　The petrol tank is fitted at the back of the car where it is out of the way, yet easily filled at a gas station．Tanks are in various capacity but they usually hold enough petrol for 250－300 miles running．Because the tank is at the opposite end of the car from the carburetor, which is fitted high up on the engine, a pump is needed to draw the petrol from one to the other, so it is from the carburetor that the petrol is finally fed into the engine．Pumps can be of two kinds：electrically operated or mechanically driven from the engine．

　　Next time when you are driving a car, you may wonder what a great and magic invention the car is．

(1)

Choose one picture which shows the correct petrol system described in this passage．

[　　]

A．

B．

C．

D．

(2)

The passage tells the reason why ________．

[　　]

A．

there are different types of tanks in capacity

B．

the tank is designed at the back of the car

C．

the pump is mechanically driven from the engine

D．

the petrol is fed into the engine from the carburetor

(3)

It is necessary to use a pump to send petrol to carburetor because ________．

[　　]

A．

the engine needs supplying with a certain amount of petrol

B．

the pump can press the petrol to recycle

C．

the carburetor has difficulty in drawing petrol from the tank

D．

the tank isn't fitted in proper position

答案：1．D;2．B;3．C;
解析：

(1)

細節(jié)題．根據(jù)The petrol tank is fitted at the back of the car where it is out of the way(油箱放在車子的后外側)可排除B．Because the tank is at the opposite end of the car from the carburetor, which is fitted high up on the engine, a pump is needed to draw the petrol from one to the other, so it is from the carburetor that the petrol is finally fed into the engine．中可知油箱與汽化器分別在車的兩頭，一前一后，汽化器置于發(fā)動機的上方，泵將油箱的油吸入汽化器后，油再進入發(fā)動機．D項的圖示符合原理．

(2)

推斷題．從yet easily filled at a gas station可知油箱設置在車的后部(the tank is designed at the back of the car)的原因．

(3)

判斷題．文中提到油必須由泵來吸入汽化器，這說明直接用汽化器吸油是很難的(the carburetor has difficulty in drawing petrol from the tank)．

　　It’s not only rocket scientists and journalists who are following the course of“Shenzhou V”,or“Divine ship/vessel V”．There are also lexicographers, or dictionary compilers．The flight of the Spacecraft last week might help put some new words into orbit．

　　One of them is a western media coinage used to refer to the Chinese astronauts．It’s a combination of the Chinese pinyin“taikong”, meaning space, and the English“astronaut”, from classical Greek：“star sailor/navigator”, for people who was going into space as a career．

　　In the Reuters and AP reports of October 15,“taikonaut”was used as a proper noun．For example：

　　The long March 2F rocket carrying“taikonaut”Yang Liwei lifted off into a clear blue sky over the Gobi desert at 9 am and entered its orbit 10 minutes later．

　　A Long March 2F rocket called the Shemhou V－“divine ship”in Chinese－carried a single“taikonaut”named Yang Liwei, 38, following Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin and American Alan Shepard in 1961．

　　The word“taikonaut”is not a newly coined term．It first emerged in November, 1999, when China launched its first unmanned“Shenzhou I”spacecraft．

　　At that lime, some English news media predicted that China would soon launch a manned space flight and created the word“taikonaut”for the Chinese astronauts．It was then borrowed by the Germans media．

　　But it was left out of mainstream dictionaries, such as the Merriam-Webster Dictionary and Cambridge Advanced English Learner’s Dictionary．

　　However, the launch of the“Shenzhou V”will most likely help boost its status since there is already a word referring specifically to Russian astronauts in the dictionary entry．

　　An astronaut of Russian(or the former Soviet Union)is called a“cosmonaut”, from the Russian“kosmonaut”．The word was derived from classical Greek：“kosmonaut”(universal)and“nautes”．One might argue that“cosmonaut”is a Russian variation on the earlier word“astronaut”．

　　On March 14,1995, US astronaut Norman Thagard became the first American to ride into space on-board a Russian launch vehicle, arguably making him the first American cosmonaut．

　　And if this trend of coinage continues, more English variations for astronaut will appear as more countries are able to send their own astronauts into outer space, what would Western journalists call an astronaut from India or Africa?We’ll have to wait to see．

(1)

Which of the following best suits the passage as a title?

[　　]

A．

Why to Create the Word“Astronaut”?

B．

Why to Make a Lot of Variations for“Taikonaut”?

C．

How to Tell a“Taikonaut”from an Astronaut?

D．

How to Call Astronauts from Different Countries?

(2)

Which is the right statement in the following sentence?

[　　]

A．

The word“taikonaut”was born with the launch of“Shenzhou V”spacecraft．

B．

Yang Liwei, Yuri Gagarin and Alan Shepard are all excellent taikonauts．

C．

The American newspapers such as Reuters coined the word“taikonaut”．

D．

Some new words have widely been put into use with the launch of the“Shenzhou V”spacecraft．

(3)

From the writer’s point of view, ________．

[　　]

A．

lexicographers or dictionary compilers have also done a lot of things to help launch“Shenzhou V”

B．

the American astronaut Norman Thagard is not a cosmonaut

C．

the words coined or to be coined for astronauts of different countries usually have something to do with the name(s)of their countries

D．

the reason why there will be more variations for the word astronauts is that more and more countries will be able to send their own astronauts into space

(4)

What does the underlined word“coinage”mean in the passage?

[　　]

A．

System of coins in use．

B．

Invention of word．

C．

New meaning of a word．

D．

Discovery of an old word．
