Characters—Editor, Doctor, Scientist, Journalist, Traveller
Scene 9 The men sit down with drinks, and the time traveller tells his amazing story.
Traveller: The time machine took me 150 years into the future. The world was ... is ... a very different place. There are two races (种类) of creatures: the Eloi and the Morlocks. The Eloi are small, gentle creatures—people who lead peaceful lives. They do no work but play games, eat food, and sleep. They are afraid of the dark.
Scientist: And the Morlocks?
Traveller: These are ape-like (似猿旳) creatures who live underground. They are afraid of the light. They have machines. They provide the Eloi with everything they need.
Doctor: So the Morlocks are the Eloi’s slaves (奴隶).
Traveller: Sadly, that is not so. The Eloi are the Morlock’s cattle (牲口). The Morlocks feed them and raise them for food.
Editor: That is awful. How did the Eloi allow this to happen?
Traveller: They became lazy. At first, they allowed the Morlocks to provide them with everything they needed.
Journalist: Then, they slowly lost all their skills.
Traveller: Exactly. As the years passed, they became more and more dependent (依赖旳) on the Morlocks. Finally, they could not take care of themselves. Then, the Morlocks took control of them.
Editor: There is a lesson for us in this.

Captain (船长) Nemo invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island. I asked him why he was interested in Crespo Island. “I thought you preferred the sea to being on land.”
“I do,” replied the captain. “But these forests are under the sea.”
After going through a door, we were about ten metres under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colourful. We were going deeper and deeper. At 100 metres deep, we could still see quite well, and Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” in the forest were giant seaweed, and all their “branches” were vertical (垂直旳). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest.
Suddenly, I saw a large sea spider about a metre tall. It was going to attack me. Captain Nemo’s man killed it with his gun, but it reminded me that the sea could be as dangerous as it was beautiful. When we reached 150 metres, it was dark. The sun’s light could not reach this depth (深度). We turned on our lights. We could see about 20 metres around us. Finally, we found Crespo Island—where a steep rock wall rose in front of us.
We could go no further, so we walked back toward the Nautilus. Suddenly, Captain Nemo stopped and shot an animal with his gun, it was a beautiful and rare sea otter. At last, we could see the Nautilus. Several large sharks swam over us. Luckily, they didn’t see us. We re-entered the Nautilus safely. I was tired but amazed by what I had seen.
33. What do “dark shapes” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指旳是)?
A. Trees. B. Seaweed C. Rocks. D. Fish.

A. 10 B. 20 C. 100 D. 150

② The men returned to the Nautilus.
③ The men went to the forest.

⑤ Captain Nemo shot an otter.
A. ④-①-②-⑤-③ B. ③-④-②-⑤-① C. ④-③-①-⑤-② D. ③-④-①-⑤-②

In Europe, small cars have always been more popular than large cars. In the United States, large cars and midsize cars are more popular than smaller cars. As a result, European automakers used to make different kinds of small cars while American automakers used to build bigger, heavier cars. However, these days, automakers in both America and Europe produce cars of different sizes. This is because most automakers sell their cars all over the world.
The price of gasoline (汽油) is one reason for differences in car choices. Since gasoline is more expensive in Europe, many Europeans want smaller, lighter cars that will travel a long way on a gallon (加仑) of gasoline.
Other reasons also enter into the big or little car decision. Many European cities have narrow, winding (弯曲旳) streets. In these cities a small car is easier to control than a large one.
For a long time, few Americans bought small cars. Instead they chose large cars, because these roomy cars were more comfortable for large families and long trips. Some people also liked the powerful engines (发动机) that large cars had. Since gasoline was cheap, drivers did not mind that the large cars used a lot of gasoline.
But in the 1970s, there were gasoline shortages in the United States. The price of gasoline went up. Though large cars were still more popular than smaller cars, sales of small cars increased. Some people also bought small cars because these cars caused less air pollution than larger cars.
Today, Americans’ car choices are still changing. Though Americans are still buying many small cars, the fastest growing sales are for certain kinds of large cars. These types of cars are called minivans and sport utility vehicles (SUV). They are very popular today. But of course, that could change tomorrow.
37. In the 1970s, .
A. large cars were less popular than smaller cars
B. European cars finally came to the United States
C. the price of gasoline went up in the United States
D. people in the United States stopped buying small cars
38. Which of the following does the article lead you to believe?
A. Sport utility vehicles are small cars.
B. Minivans are becoming less popular.
C. European car companies sell many cars in America.
D. Cars with powerful engines caused less air pollution.
39. What does the word “roomy” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. having much space B. having little space
C. having a large room D. having a small room
40. What can we infer (推断) from the article?
A. Small cars are better than large cars.
B. The price of gasoline is always rising.
C. Large cars will always be popular in the United States.
D. People like to have different kinds of cars to choose from.
