Science fiction is a popular kind of writing, and many people think of Jules V erne as the father of science fiction. He was born in France in 1828. His father wanted him to become a lawyer, but from his early twenties Verne decided to become a writer. At first he wrote plays for the theater. Then, in 1863, he wrote a story called Five Weeks in a Balloon. The success of this book encouraged him to write more stories such as A Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864) and From the Earth to the Moon ( 1865).

In the 19th century, many people were interested in science and

inventions. Jules Verne wrote about scientific subjects in his stories and, as a

result, they were very popular. Verne’s writing included many predictions(预

言) for the 20th century and many of them came true. He described space

flight, movies, and air conditioning, a long time before they appeared. These

books were very successful and they made Verae rich. Jules Verne’s books

have been the subjects for many movies. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was

a successful movie for Walt Disney. It was the first Disney movie to use real

actors instead of cartoon drawings. Around the World in Eighty Dap is another famous movie based on one of Verne’s books. The main character is an Englishman called Pluleas Fogg. For him, the most important thing is to be always on time!

59. What does the phrase “the father of science fiction” mean?

A. The father who has several children.

B. The man who loves science and inventions.

C. The writer whose father wrote science fiction.

D. The man who first started writing science fiction successfully.

60. What encouraged Jules V erne to write more stories?

A. The plays he wrote for the theater.

B. The encouragement from his father.

C The success of Five Weeks in a Balloon. D. The scientific subjects in his stories.

61. Why were Jules Verne’s books very popular in the 19th century?

A. Because his books made him rich and famous.

B. Because he wrote many plays for the theater at that time.

C. Because his books have been the subjects for many movies.

D. Because many people were interested in science and inventions.

62. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A. Jules Verne only wrote plays in the 19th century.

B. Ma ny of the predications in Verne’s stories came true.

C. The main characters in Verne’s books are always on time.

Each year there is an increasing number of cars on roads and streets as millions of new cars and trucks are produced. One out of every six Americans work at putting together the parts of cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling cars and trucks with gas. Americans won’t live without cars!

Most Americans would find it hard to think what life would look like without cars. However , some have realized the serious problems of the air pollution that is caused by the car. The polluted air becomes poisonous and dangerous to health.

One way to get rid of the polluted air is to build a car that does not pollute. That’s what several of the large car factories have been trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.

Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else. Inventors are now working on steam cars as well as electric cars. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man.

To prevent the world from being polluted by cars, we’ll have to make some changes in the way many of us live. Americans, for example, have to cut down on the number of their total cars. They are encouraged to travel and go to work by bicycle. Bicycling is thought to help keep the air clean.

But this change does not come easily—a large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down. Thus the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.

Although cars have led us to a better life, they have also brought us new problems.

63. How many ways to get rid of air pollution are suggested in this article by the writer?

A. One

B. Two

C. Three

D. Four

64. Large car factories are trying to build a clean car, ___________.

A. which is clean itself

B. which is used to clean streets

C. which does not pollute the air

D. which is easier to make

65. If the number of cars is cut down, the most serious problem to American workers is

__________.

A. to have no work to do

B. to keep the air clean

C. to get a better life

D. to go to work by bike

66. What is the conclusion of the writer?

A. Bicycling is the only way out .

B. The number of cars must be cut down .

C. Cars bring us nothing but serious problems.

D. Cars bring us not only a better life but serious problems.

D

In the United States, it is important to be on time, or punctual , for an appointment , a class, a meeting, etc. However, this may not be true in all countries. An American professor discovered the difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian（巴西的）university. The two-hour class was scheduled to begin at 10 A.M. and end at 12. On the first day , when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 10:30 A.M. Two students came after 11 A.M. Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologized(道歉)for their lateness．Were these students being rude? He decided to study the students’ behavior.

The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation：at a lunch with a friend and in a university class, respectively．He gave them an example and asked them how they would react, If they had a lunch appointment with a friend，the average American student defined lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time，On the other hand. The average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after 33 minutes．In an American university, students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour．In contrast, in Brazil，neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour．Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States，but also end at the scheduled time．In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at 12：00；many remained past 12：30 to discuss the class and ask more questions. While arriving late may not be very important in Brazil , neither is staying late.

67. The underlined word “punctual” most probably means________.

A. 1eaving soon after class

B. coming early

C. arriving a few minutes late

D. being on time

68. Why did the professor st udy the Brazilian students’ behavior?

A. He felt confused about the students’ being late．

B. He felt angry at the students’ rudeness．

C. He wanted to make the students come on time later．

D. He wanted to collect data for one of his studies．

69. It can be inferred from the professor’s study of lateness in the informal situation that____．

A. American students will become impatient if their friend is five minutes late

B. neither Brazilian nor American students like being late in social gatherings

C. being late in one culture may not be considered so in another culture

D. Brazilian students will not come thirty-three minutes after the agreed time

70. What is the main idea of this passage?

A. It is important to be on time for class in the United States．

B. The importance of being on time differs among cultures．

C. People learn the importance of time only from their own culture．

D. Students being late for class should explain the reason to their teacher．
