THREE CENTURIES OF HOAXES
(恶作剧)!
A THINKING MACHINE
In 1769, long before computers were invented, a man from Hungary(匈牙利) built a wonderful machine that could play chess very well. It delighted(使高兴) people all over Europe and beat nearly everyone that played, including famous figures like French
52
leader Napoleon Bonaparte, and scientist and inventor Benjamin Franklin. For decades, many people believed that it was truly a thinking machine. There were people who said it was a hoax, but could not prove it or explain how it worked. About 85 years later, the secret was finally revealed. There was a man hiding inside the machine all the time…who was obviously very good at playing chess!
ZOO ESCAPE(逃脱)
On November 9, 1874, New York newspaper, The Herald, ran a shocking story on its front page. It said that all the animals in the Central Park Zoo had escaped and were running around the city. It said the police were working to save people, but 27 people had already been killed, and 200 people were hurt. It warned everyone to stay at home to avoid the danger. Many people in New York were terrified, and did as the paper said. If only they had read the final words of the article, which said: “Not one word of it is true.
Not a single act described has taken place.” It was all just a hoax. The story was made up by Thomas Connery, an editor at The Herald, who wanted to draw attention to the poor condition of cages in the zoo.
ROSIE THE RUNNER
The first woman to cross the finish line of the 1980 Boston Marathon(马拉松) was 23-year-old Rosie Ruiz. However, as she climbed the stairs to receive her prize, people started to become
suspicious(怀疑的). She didn't seem to be tired at all. Furthermore, none of the other runners remembered seeing her, and her picture never appeared in TV broadcasts of the race. Later, several people said that they had seen her join the race only at the end. It turned out she had run only half a mile(about 805 meters) and taken the train for the rest of the race! Her prize was taken away, of course.

二、阅读理解。
Historically, most cars have run on gasoline(汽油), but that may change in the future:Cars can also run on other liquid fuels(液体燃料) and electricity.
Gasoline is from oil. The energy in gasoline comes from hydrocarbons(碳氢化合物). Gasoline provides great power for cars. However, it causes environmental problems, like air pollution and temperature rise. So gasoline can't be the best fuel. Another choice
65
is electric. Electric cars can be as efficient as cars using gasoline. And they produce less pollution. But electric cars themselves are more expensive. Good news is that the cost has been lower and there are more and more places for the cars to get electricity ever since 2010.
The other choices are other liquid fuels. Many of these can be stored in the same places as gasoline, and used in the same cars. They can also be friendly to the environment. One way to make
such fuels is to get CO2 from the air and put it in water. Through chemical reaction,hydrocarbons can be created. However,these fuels take up more space.
Another way is to make such fuels from plants which take in carbon from the air. These fuels are greener in use. But not all of them can be as efficient as gasoline.
For a fuel to be the best, people have to be able to afford it. Unluckily, almost every green technology is more expensive than that of using gasoline. Governments and car producers are doing everything they can to cut down the costs. In the end, the best fuel will be both affordable for car users and green for our planet.
( ) 1.What does gasoline provide for cars?
A
A.Great power. B.Fresh air.
C.Clean water. D.Enough space.
( ) 2.What can we learn according to Paragraph 3?
C
A.Electric cars produce less pollution.
B.Electric cars will become more and more expensive.
C.Electric cars will become more popular.
D.Electric cars are more efficient than those using gasoline.
68
( ) 3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
B
A.All kinds of cars can use the new fuels in the future.
B.Gasoline always causes environmental problems.
C.All the new fuels can be as efficient as gasoline.
D.Electric cars cannot be so efficient as cars using gasoline.
( ) 4.What does the underlined word “efficient” mean in
Chinese?
A
A.效能好的 B.电能的 C.低效的 D.节能的
69
三、阅读短文,然后回答问题。
Schools across Arkansas joined in the Great Shake Out Day on Thursday, Oct. 21st. It's an earthquake drill(演练) to improve students' knowledge and provide education on what to do if an earthquake hits.
Pam Dial, a headteacher, said they like to take part in this drill to be a part of something bigger than themselves.
70
“I think it makes the kids and teachers excited and it makes me feel excited to be a part of something that's bigger than just our small school,” she said.
Students had to stop their classwork at 10:21 a.m. that day when warnings through the speaker saying, “This is an earthquake drill. At this time, we need students to drop, cover and hold. Drop, cover, and hold.” This doesn't come as a shock, according to Dial, because they've taken part in the drill for the past three years.
“I usually share the website with teachers and it just gives them ideas for how to explain it to kids. It also teaches students how to drop, cover and hold so that they will protect their heads and their backs,” she said.
“Drop, cover and hold” are three simple but important steps according to a geologist, Scott Ausbrook, since Arkansas is along an earthquake belt, and earthquakes are an unexpected disaster. “Earthquakes can happen at any time. The state has already had 34 earthquakes this year. While only 10% of those are actually felt by people, education is key for their safety,” he said.
1.What is the Great Shake Out Day?
_______________________
It's an earthquake drill.
2.How do the kids and teachers feel to join in the drill?
_________________
They feel excited.
3.Why didn't the students feel shocked when the drill began?
____________________________________________________________
Because they've taken part in the drill for the past three years.
73
4.What are the three important steps in the drill?
______________________
Drop, cover, and hold.
5.How many earthquakes has Arkansas had this year?
______________________________________________________________
34 earthquakes./The state has already had 34 earthquakes this year.

Dear Mike,
On National Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Day, our school held a series of activities. I would like to share two of them with you.

One important part was an earthquake drill. When the drill began, we were asked to leave the classroom in order and gather on the playground. Besides, our school invited an expert to give us a lecture about how to save ourselves during an earthquake. Although it was not the first time for our school to hold the similar activities, I felt excited to join in these activities because I could always learn something new.
