Have you ever heard the song called “Is there anyone who told you”? It may be impossible for you not to know the song and its singer. It is sung by the famous “Happy Boy” Chen Chusheng, who appeared on Hunan Satellite TV. He caught everyone’s attention.

In the bar called Star-making Factories, he met many famous local musicians. In the following several years, Chen, with his musical dream, attended many music contests throughout the country, winning prizes many times.

Since the first Earth Day started on April 22, 1970, people around the world have been encouraged to protect the environment and natural resources. Gaylord Nelson started this holiday. On the first Earth Day, 20 million people took part in Earth Day events.
Earth Day activities can include learning something about technology like cars that are more environmentally friendly and special houses that save energy and water. An organization called the Earth Day Network encourages people to use clean energy which doesn’t pollute the environment. Most of our energy comes from fossil fuels (化石燃料) that are found underground. Coal, oil and natural gas are examples of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels come from plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. Burning fossil fuels to create energy pollutes the air and water. Many scientists think that burning fossil fuels also increases the temperature of the earth. To reduce the use of fossil fuels, scientists are experimenting with hydrogen-powered (氢化发动的) cars. These cars don’t pollute the air like gas-powered cars. Some scientists guess that by 2025, fossil fuels will run out. When people can no longer use gasoline, they may use fuel cells instead. Fuel cells use hydrogen to create energy. People do not need to worry about hydrogen running out, because it is renewable and replaceable.
In Washington, D.C., a few people drive cars that run on fuel cells. When these cars need more energy, drivers can go to a hydrogen pump. The first hydrogen pump for the public opened in November 2004, marking an important step toward a cleaner environment.
( )51. what can we learn from the passage?
A. Fossil fuels don’t pollute the air. B. Hydrogen-powered cars make less pollution.
C. Many drivers are driving hydrogen-powered cars. D. We can find many hydrogen pumps in the USA.
( )52. How long may people still be able to use fossil fuels?
A. Twenty years. B. Over thirty-eight years.
C. More than ten years. D. About seventeen years.
( )53. Which of the following is not mentioned?
A. Scientists are producing more hydrogen-powered cars.
B. Some people drive fuel-cell cars in Washington.
C. Fossil fuels come from plants and animals.
D. We can learn about environmentally friendly technology from Earth Day activities.
( )54. When do fossil fuels pollute the air?
A. When we use them to create gasoline. B. When people get them from the underground.
C. After being burned to get energy. D. After getting them from a hydrogen pump.
( )55. Because hydrogen is renewable, we don’t need to worry that _____.
A. it will be used up B. it can be used for creating energy
C. it will pollute the environment D. it will be cleaner
C
Because earthquakes happen without warning, it’s important to take steps now to prepare. Because you don’t know where you will be when an earthquake happens, prepare some supplies for your home, workplace, and car.
1. Water
A person need at least 1/2 gallon of water daily just for drinking. Store at least 1 gallon of water per person per day and be prepared for a 72-hour period. It is suggested that you buy bottled water. Keep bottled water in its original container and do not open it until you need to use it. Also, do check the “use by” date.
2. Food
It’s always a practical idea to keep a supply of nonperishable (不易腐烂的) food on hand. Have an enough supply of canned food, powdered milk, dried fruits, nonsalted nuts and canned juices for at least 72 hours. 3. Flashlights (手电筒) and spare batteries
Keep a flashlight beside your bed, at your place of work, and in your car. Do not use matches or candles after an earthquake until you are sure that no gas leaks.
Prepare a battery-powered radio and spare batteries. Most telephones will be out of order, so radios will be your best source of information.
4. Clothes.
If you live in a cold place, you must think about warmth. You might not have heat after an earthquake. Think about your clothing and bedding supplies.
( )56. Why should people prepare themselves for an earthquake?
A. Because earthquakes can be known before they happen.
B. Because earthquakes take place without warning.
C. Because earthquakes usually take place in the neighborhood.
D. Because it’s people’s daily work to prepare the earthquakes.
( )57. About the prepared water, which description is RIGHT?
A. A person should prepare 0.5 gallon of water for one day.
B. You’d better use your own containers to keep water.
C. You’d better open the bottled water when you buy it.
D. You shouldn’t open the bottled water until you need it.
( )58. You should prepare all of the following except _____.
A. powdered milk B. fresh vegetables C. dried fruits D. canned juices
( )59. According to the article we know that _____.
A. we need to prepare some supplies only at home.

Since the first Earth Day started on April 22, 1970, people around the world have been encouraged to protect the environment and natural resources. Gaylord Nelson started this holiday. On the first Earth Day, 20 million people took part in Earth Day events.
Earth Day activities can include learning something about technology like cars that are more environmentally friendly and special houses that save energy and water. An organization called the Earth Day Network encourages people to use clean energy which doesn’t pollute the environment. Most of our energy comes from fossil fuels (化石燃料) that are found underground. Coal, oil and natural gas are examples of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels come from plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. Burning fossil fuels to create energy pollutes the air and water. Many scientists think that burning fossil fuels also increases the temperature of the earth. To reduce the use of fossil fuels, scientists are experimenting with hydrogen-powered (氢化发动的) cars. These cars don’t pollute the air like gas-powered cars. Some scientists guess that by 2025, fossil fuels will run out. When people can no longer use gasoline, they may use fuel cells instead. Fuel cells use hydrogen to create energy. People do not need to worry about hydrogen running out, because it is renewable and replaceable.
In Washington, D.C., a few people drive cars that run on fuel cells. When these cars need more energy, drivers can go to a hydrogen pump. The first hydrogen pump for the public opened in November 2004, marking an important step toward a cleaner environment.

Because earthquakes happen without warning, it’s important to take steps now to prepare. Because you don’t know where you will be when an earthquake happens, prepare some supplies for your home, workplace, and car.
1. Water
A person need at least 1/2 gallon of water daily just for drinking. Store at least 1 gallon of water per person per day and be prepared for a 72-hour period. It is suggested that you buy bottled water. Keep bottled water in its original container and do not open it until you need to use it. Also, do check the “use by” date.
2. Food
It’s always a practical idea to keep a supply of nonperishable (不易腐烂的) food on hand. Have an enough supply of canned food, powdered milk, dried fruits, nonsalted nuts and canned juices for at least 72 hours. 3. Flashlights (手电筒) and spare batteries
Keep a flashlight beside your bed, at your place of work, and in your car. Do not use matches or candles after an earthquake until you are sure that no gas leaks.
Prepare a battery-powered radio and spare batteries. Most telephones will be out of order, so radios will be your best source of information.
4. Clothes.
If you live in a cold place, you must think about warmth. You might not have heat after an earthquake. Think about your clothing and bedding supplies.
( )56. Why should people prepare themselves for an earthquake?
