You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources, as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills(风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the 7th century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.‎ ‎ For many centuries, people used windmills to grind(磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote(偏远的) areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available(可利用的) to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were seldom used.‎ ‎ During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.‎ ‎1．From the text we know that windmills__________.‎ A. were invented by European armies B. used to supply power to radio in remote areas C. have a history of more than 2,800 years D. have rarely been used since electricity was discovered ‎ ‎2．What was a new use for wind power in the late 19th century?‎ A. Producing electricity. ‎ B. Sailing a boat. ‎ C. Grinding wheat into flour. ‎ D. Pumping water from ground.‎ ‎3．One of the reasons wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that______.‎ A. the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needs B. it is one of the oldest power sources C. it was cheaper to create energy from wind 9‎ D. wind power is cleaner ‎4．The passage is mainly about______________.‎ A. the global pollution from burning coal and gas B. the worldwide movement to save energy C. the history of using wind power D. the advantages of windmills ‎ ‎ ‎ B Grandparents Answer a Call As a third generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never planned to move away. Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children, she politely refused. Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms. Garza finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.‎ No statistics(数据) show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children and grandchildren. Yet there are evidence showing that the trend(趋势) is growing. Even President Obama’s mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study by grandparents. com, 83% of the people say Mrs. Robinson’s decision will influence grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama’s family.‎ ‎“In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn’t wait to get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,” says Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand, a magazine for grandparents. “We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them, especially when you’re raising children.”‎ Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices(奉献), but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.‎ ‎5．Why was Garza’s move a success?‎ A．It strengthened her family relationship. ‎ B．It improved her living conditions.‎ C．It offered her chances to make more friends.‎ D．It helped her know more new places.‎ ‎6． What was the reaction of the public to Mrs. Robinson’s decision?‎ A．The majority think it will be a trend.‎ B．Few people responded sympathetically.‎ C．83% believed it had a bad influence.‎ D．17% expressed their support for it.‎ ‎7． What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s?‎ 9‎ A．They were unsure of themselves.‎ B．They wanted to live far away from their parents.‎ C．They were eager to raise more children.‎ D．They had little respect for their grandparents.‎ ‎8．What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph?‎ A. Sacrifice for their struggling children. ‎ B. Ask their children to pay more visits to them.‎ C. Make decisions for the most good of their own.‎ D. Get to know themselves better.‎ ‎ C Among a group of middle-aged men and women，who were discussing bringing about quality education(素质教育)，was a young man dressed in a white shirt．Within minutes, he was called onto the dais(讲台)．Twenty-two-year-old Babar Ali was surrounded by educators from across India．He was popularly known as the world’s youngest head teacher． ‎ ‎ The school that Babar started in poor Bhabta village has completely changed．When he was nine years old, he had only eight students in his school．Now the school has 300 students and 10 teachers. The school is called Ananda Siksha Niketan. It is recognized by the West Bengal government．‎ ‎ Today Babar is a student in the morning．He is learning English literature at Berhampore Krishanath College．But he comes home in the afternoon to teach his students．‎ Baber was discussing education at the National Summit on Quality in Education(NSQE)．The meeting was held in Bangalore，capital of Karnataka State in southern India．‎ ‎ “It all started as a game when I used to teach my sister, my first student, in my backyard．Later, some children from the village often came to my classes and that was how the school was born,” he said． ‎ ‎ His biggest achievement is that six of his students have now started teaching in his school after their college hours．‎ ‎ In another month, Babar’s dream of a school building will soon come true．Many people, a large part of whom are from Karnataka，have helped him realize the dream．They have given his school a lot of money． ‎ ‎ Although he has received so much attention and recognition(认可)，he is still not fulfilled．“There are people in my village who do not go to schoo1．And there is a long way to go as so many children still need to receive an education，”he says． ‎ ‎9．Where were Babar and a group of middle-aged people?‎ A．At Babar’s college．‎ B．In a class for children．‎ C．In the village of Bhabta．‎ D．At an important meeting．‎ 9‎ ‎10．The school Ananda Siksha Niketan was created by_______．‎ A．Babar Ali B．six college students C．a woman in Bhabta village D．the West Bengal government ‎11．What does the underlined word “fulfilled’’ in the last paragraph probably mean?‎ A．Angry． B．Satisfied．‎ C．Worried． D．Surprised．‎ ‎12．What would be the best title for the text?‎ A．Higher education in India B．Problems with Ananda Siksha Niketan C．Babar Ali：the world’s youngest head teacher D．NSQE：a meeting that makes a difference in India ‎ D ‎ My heroes are the Singapore Women’s Everest Team．In 2009，they became the first all-women team to climb Mount Everest．The team of six young women trained for seven years before they climbed the mountain．It was difficult for them to train because Singapore doesn’t have any snow or any mountains．But they didn’t stop，and in the end they made it．They Worked hard every day for their dream so I really admire them．‎ ‎——Lance Reed, 16, from Britain ‎ My mum，Mary Evans，is a real hero．I have a very big family, with two brothers and three sisters．My mum works very hard every day to look after us, and she is very busy．She always makes time for everyone and she always listens to me if I have a problem．I really respect my mum because she always looks after my family and makes sure we have everything we need．‎ ‎ ——Mark Sterling，l7，from America ‎ I admire the Salwen family from Atlanta，USA．In 2006, they made a very unusual choice．They decided to sell their house and give half of the money to charity(慈善)．They moved into a smaller house and gave $800,000 to charities in Ghana.
