They used candles and oil for light. American inventor Thomas Edison changed the way people lived when he invented the first light blub.The light bulb was just one of the more than 1000 inventions of this great inventor. Thomas Alva Edison was born in 1847. He attended school for only three months. His mother taught him reading and writing at home. In 1862, Edison saved a boy from being run over by a train. The boy’s father operated a telegraph machine. In order to thank him, the father taught Edison how to operate the telegraph. Edison then made improvements to the telegraph. He earned money from his inventions. In 1876 , Edison started the first research laboratory in New Jersey. He worked very hard. He lived in his laboratory and became rich because of his inventions. He married twice and had six children. But he worked so hard that he spent little time with his families. Edison's greatest inventions included an improved telephone, photograph and electric battery. He is best remembered for inventing the long-lasting light bulb. In the 1870s,many inventors were trying to make a light bulb. Edison tried hundreds of times. Finally, he found a filamen（t more than 40 hours. 灯丝）made of carbon. Edison's lamp was a great success. It burned for ( )11. When did Edison learn to operate the telegraph? A.In 1847. B. In 1862. C.

But they can also be a problem, especially fossil fuel ( 化石燃料) cars, which are a major cause of air pollution. To improve the environment, many countries are developing electric vehicles (EVs 电动车). Among them, China is taking a leading role and has created the world’s largest EV market, according to the Wall Street Journal. Last year, over 40 percent of the 753,000 EVs sold worldwide were sold in China, more than twice as many as the number sold in the United States, according to the International Energy Agency. Chinese drivers are already big fans of EVs. Chinese auto companies, including BYD and BAIC (北汽集团), rank among the top in the world in EV sales. “Charging (充电) an electric car is cheaper than filling up a fossil fuel car with gas,” said Wu Hao, who bought an electric car from BAIC this year. However, there are still some problems. It can be hard to find charging stations (充电桩) and the cars can’t go far before needing to be recharged. Some of these problems are being solved. In 2014, China had 31,000 charging stations, according to Xinhua. Now China has the world’s largest EV charging network,with more than 167,000 charging stations in total, according to the Economic Daily. Developing EVs is one of many efforts China has made to reduce pressure on its environment after the government promised to stop increases in carbon dioxide emissions (二氧化碳排放量) by 2030. “As China goes, so will the world’s auto industry,” the Wall Street Journal said.

This is how wind power works. Wind makes windmills spin ( 旋 转 ). When the windmills spin, they make electricity. Then we can use the electricity. A lot of people think that wind power is new, but that’s not true. For thousands of years, people have used wind to sail boats and move water. We still do those things today, but these days we mostly use wind power to make electricity. Wind power is a very popular source of energy (能源). Most people think that we should use it more and more. First of all, it’s clean. Windmills don’t pollute the environment at all. Second, we can use wind power forever. After all, we will always have wind. Also, wind power is cheap, and it’s getting even cheaper. A lot of people don’t understand wind power very well. They believe that there are problems with wind power, but many of those problems are not real. For example, some people say that windmills are dangerous for birds. They used to be true, but it isn’t true any more. Old windmills killed birds because they spun very fast. New windmills spin slowly, and they aren’t dangerous for birds. However, there are real problems with windmills. One problem is that many people think windmills are very ugly. This is a problem for people, because windmills are often in very pretty areas. Also, wind doesn’t blow all the time, so we can’t use wind power all the time. Finally, windmills are noisy. Wind power is becoming more and more common. Right now, more than 80 countries use wind power. About 2. 5 percent of the world’s power comes from the wind. For some countries, that number is a lot higher. Wind power gives Denmark more than 25 percent of its electricity. ( )21. When did people start using wind power? A. About 25 years ago. B. About 80 years ago. C. About 500 years ago. D. Over 1,000 years ago. ( )22. New windmills don’t kill birds because . A. birds don’t fly near them B. they spin slowly C. they are shorter than old windmills D. new windmills don’t spin ( )23 . , so we CAN’T use wind power all the time. A. Windmills break all the time B. We can’t use windmills at night C. Windmills are too expensive to use all the time D. Wind doesn’t blow all the time ( )24. What does the article say about wind power? A. Most people don’t like it. B. It’s getting cheaper. C. Denmark doesn’t use it. D. There are no problems about it. ( )25. What is the best title for the passage? A. Expensive Windmills B. Cheap and Clean Energy C. Popular and Clean Wind Power D. Dangerous Birds 第 2 节：阅读填空(每小题 2 分，共 10 分) If an electrical accident happens, do you know what to do? It’s important to know the rules of electricity safety. 26 If you see someone getting shocked（触电）, don’t touch the person. If you do, you may get shocked too. 27 Then call the police and tell them about the accident. A person may look OK after getting a shock, but it’s still important to go to the hospital to have a check. 28 We may not see it from the outside. 29 You should also keep other people away. Then call the electrical workers to fix them. When an electrical fire happens, remember not to use water to put it out. 30 ( Electricity burns from the inside of the body. By following these rules, you may be safe. It may make the fire worse. You should first find an adult to turn off the power. If the public electrical appliances like wires are broken, stay away from them. It is not easy to deal with electrical accidents by yourself. ) 第 3 节：信息匹配 (每小题 1.5 分，共 7.5 分) 下面的材料 A-F 介绍了六个有效的解决问题的办法，请根据下面五个人物最近的一些困扰， 帮他们选择适合自己的解决问题的办法，并将其标号填入题前括号内。 A.
