Thousands of years ago, people didn’t know that the Earth moved. They thought the sun really did move across the sky. The Greek god Helios was said to drive the sun around the sky with his chariot（戰(zhàn)車）. But now, these ideas have all changed. Nowadays, it is the sun that drives our “chariot” around the sky.
So what does all this mean? Well, quite simply, there is now a plane （or “chariot”） that is powered by the sun. It has special parts in its wings. These parts absorb power from the sun. They absorb so much power that they can carry on flying at night. In the Greek myths（希臘神話）, Helios had to take a break at night. It seems we’re finally even more efficient than the gods themselves.
This plane is called Solar Impulse （“太陽(yáng)驅(qū)動(dòng)”號(hào)）. It will fly across the US in May. This is very important for the future of the world.
So why is solar energy so good for us? Well, other kinds of energy cause a few problems. If you live in China, you’ve probably noticed the pollution. This is caused by burning coal or gas to make energy. The heat and chemicals（化學(xué)制品）from this make things work. But if we use the heat from the sun, we don’t have to burn anything, and there’s no pollution.
Solar energy is not all there yet. It needs to be improved. But the best thing about it is that, unlike coal and gas, it doesn’t run out. Solar Impulse could keep flying forever. Well, actually, the sun will run out too, one day, but not for another 5 billion years. That’s a pretty long flight.
【小題1】What does “chariot” really refer to in the last sentence of Paragraph 1?

A．The Earth.B．The Greek god. C．Solar Impulse.D．Birds.
【小題2】Which of the following is TRUE of Solar Impulse?
A．It can only fly at night.B．It has already flown across the US.
C．It is powered by the sun.D．It needs gas to work.
【小題3】In the passage, what is mentioned as the cause of pollution in China?
A．Overpopulation.B．Burning coal or gas.
C．Using solar energy.D．Heavy traffic.
【小題4】What does the writer mean by “That’s a pretty long flight”?
A．It takes a lot of time to get Solar Impulse going.
B．Solar Impulse moves very slowly.
C．Solar Impulse will be in use for a long time.
D．Solar Impulse has a long way to go to take the place of the sun.
【小題5】The passage is most probably taken from___________.
A．a(chǎn) Greek mythB．a(chǎn) science fictionC．a(chǎn) story-bookD．a(chǎn) science magazine

科目：初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2014年廣東省畢業(yè)生學(xué)業(yè)調(diào)研測(cè)試英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

London used to be “foggy” for the same reason that cities like Beijing or Chongqing are “foggy” today．The “fog” was in fact smog, a mixture of smoke and fog．In other words, it was made by air pollution．In London, some of this pollution came from factories, but much of it came from the coal(煤)that people burnt in their houses to keep warm during the winter．By the 1950s, London’s smog problem had become so bad that the government decided to do something to clean the air．A new law was made and nobody could burn coal in any British city．Within a few years, the air became much cleaner．There were no more “pea-soupers”．

Many Chinese cities now face the same sort of problem with air pollution that London faced 40 or 50 years ago．However, this problem is more difficult for Chinese cities to solve．One reason is that more of the pollution comes from the factories, rather than from coal burnt in people’s houses．If these factories were closed, this would harm the economy and lots of people would lose their jobs．Another reason is that changing from coal to cleaner fuel(燃料), like gas, is quite expensive．

However, the air in many Chinese cities is becoming cleaner and cleaner, as the government and people pay more and more attention to cutting down pollution．As a result, there are fewer “pea-soupers”in Beijing than there used to be．

1.What was the main reason for air pollution in London?

A．There was too much smoke in the sky．

B．There were too many factories in the city．

C．People burnt too much coal in the houses．

D．The city was too big for the cleaners to clean．

2.How did the air in London become much cleaner?

A．There was not so much fog in the winter later．

B．A law was made to keep people from burning coal in their houses．

C．Many factories in the city were closed．

D．People paid more attention to cleaning their city．

3.What does the underlined work “pea-soupers”refer to?

A．Smog????? ????????????? ????????????? B．Smoke????? ????????????? ????????????? C．Gas?????? ????????????? ????????????? D．Coal

4.The problem of air pollution is more difficult for Chinese cities to solve because of ___ reasons．

A．one????????? ????????????? B．two??????? ????????????? ????????????? C．three?????? ????????????? ????????????? D．four

5.Which sentence is Not true?

A．Air pollution is serious in Beijing and Chongqing．

科目：初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2012-2013學(xué)年江西省九年級(jí)第一次段考英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

500 years ago in Britain, the burning of coal (煤) was increasing in cities like London. Coal was used in factories and also used to heat homes. Coal, when burnt makes a lot of smoke, which makes the air very dirty.

About 200 years ago, the Industrial Revolution (工業(yè)革命) began in Britain. Factories were built, and even more coal was burnt. Air pollution was becoming a really big problem.

Smoke and fog together make smog (煙霧). Smog was a big problem in London's winter. Because of the cold weather, more coal was burnt to warm houses and this made more smoke.

When smog stayed over a city, it became really hard to breathe and see clearly. In 1952, the Great London Smog happened and more than 4,000 people died because of the smog.

New laws (法律) were made in 1956 and 1968 to stop such sad things from happening again. These laws were called the Clean Air Acts.

These laws were made so that air would become cleaner. The laws encouraged people to use less coal or switch to other fuels such as gas. Factories started using tall chimneys (煙囪) so that the smoke would go high up in the sky and no longer cover cities, and new factories were built in the countryside. Smog appeared less often and the air became cleaner.

1.From the passage, we learn that smog was a big problem in ______ in London.

A．spring            B．summer           C．a(chǎn)utumn           D．winter

2.The underlined words "switch to" mean "______"  in Chinese.

A．發(fā)明             B．換用             C．拒絕             D．節(jié)省

3.Which was NOT a way people in Britain used to make the air cleaner, according to the passage?

A．Factories built higher chimneys.

B．People began to use less coal.

C．More People began to ride bikes.

D．New factories were built outside cities.

4.Which is the best title for the passage?

A．Air Pollution in Britain in the Past.

B．How to Make the Air Cleaner.

C．Smog Is Bad for the Environment.

D．New Laws to Stop Air Pollution.
