My name is Peter Green. I live in Australia. I had a very unusual experience. I have seen a UFO in the daytime.

Early this spring, I went outside with my friend Barry who lives close to me. He was walking home when I saw a large round bright thing moving around in the sky. It was round and red in the center. I called back Barry and asked him to look up. After seeing it, he kept asking questions.

I looked at it for a moment. It seemed that it had wings, but it was still round. Barry would not believe me when I told him it must be a UFO. We shouted to it excitedly and we hoped that it would land. We wanted to know if there was an alien in it.

Seeing it was still in the sky, Barry said, “Camera! Camera!” He ran as quickly as possible to his home to get a camera. But when he returned, the UFO had already left.

Do you know that your intuition (直觉) has the magical ability to improve your life? We usually listen to advice from our parents and friends so it is hard for us to follow our own intuition. Under­standing the things your intuition is trying to tell you is not easy. Here are some of the important things your intuition is trying to tell you.

Follow your dreams. If you suddenly start thinking about leaving your job, it’s your intuition that is trying to tell you to follow your dreams. You never know what could happen to you tomorrow, so work for your dreams now. Listen to your inner voice more often because it can give you a right direction.

Be careful. I believe intuition can save people from dangerous situations. When my intuition tells me that it’s better to stay at home today or delay my trip, I always do it. If you have a bad feeling before going on a trip, it’s best to think twice before doing it. Trust your intuition and it will never let you down.

Be honest. Lying can cause lots of stress and terrible problems. Sometimes we lie because we feel that we should do it. However, if your inner voice is telling you to be honest, follow it. Honesty is a rare (稀少的) thing these days. However, you can always change the situation and break the habit of compulsive (强迫性的) lying.

()36. Why is it hard for people to follow their intuition?

A. Because they know little about it.

B. Because they are used to listening to others’ advice.

C. Because they don’t think it will be useful.

D. Because their intuition is not always correct.

()37. What does the underlined word “delay” mean?

A. Decide on. B. Go on.

C. Think about.  D. Put off.

()38. What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?

A. How to listen to our inner voice when in danger.

B. How to deal with dangerous situations.

C. When we have bad feelings, we’d better stay at home.

D. Intuition can make people stay away from dangerous situations.

()39. What does the passage tell us?

A. People make fewer mistakes because they don’t trust their intuition.

B. Your intuition is always correct no matter which situation you are in.

C. Trust your intuition and it can bring you something amazing.

D. A person who believes intuition is usually the most careful and honest.

()40. What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. What your intuition is trying to tell you.

B. Why intuition has the magical ability.

C. How to develop your intuition.

D. Why we should follow our intuition.

D

Many people are wondering what future cities will be like. In my opinion, future cities will be clean, green and full of hope.

The cities will be cleaner and greener because of solar and hydrogen energy. Hydrogen trains will be powered by solar energy that electrolyzes (电解) water. They will most typically be passenger trains, taking people around the future cities. The future cities will also be foil of solar panels (太阳能电池板). There will be solar panels on the rooftops of almost every building and the windows of each building will double.

In the cities of the future, every building will have smart technology. The smart technology will distribute and conserve (分配与节约) energy through the building where it is needed most. Also, many buildings using solar energy will produce more electricity than they use. They will be tied into the smart network, selling power back, and the smart network will redistribute the energy to places where it is needed most.

The cities will also be full of huge balloons. They will be filled with algae (海藻) to produce hydrogen. The hydrogen will then either be used to provide energy or be used as fuel for cars. And, of course what would a future city be without a future car for every driver? These future cars will run on hydrogen, electricity, or even air. There may even be a few future flying cars that fly above traffic during rush hour.

All the above are based on the technology we have now. Therefore, it is highly likely that such cities will come true.

()41. Why will the future cities be cleaner and greener?

A. Because there will be more windows on each building.

B. Because people will use little energy in the future.

C. Because there will be much clean energy.

D. Because people won’t make any rubbish.

()42. What does the underlined word “it” refer to?

A. The smart network.

B. The energy.

C. The smart technology.

D. The place.

()43. Which part about the future city is NOT mentioned?

A. The new energy.

B. The way people travel.

C. The buildings.

D. The new type of food.

()44. What can we infer from the passage?

A. Hydrogen trains will appear in every home in the future.

B. There will be fewer windows in each building in the future.

C. The smart technology will help people make full use of the energy.

D. With more cars, the traffic in the future will be more terrible.

()45. What’s the author’s attitude (态度) towards future cities?

A. Hopeful. B. Worried.

C. Unknown. D. Against.

What will our school be like in the future?

　I think our school will be very different in the future. First, there will be taller teaching buildings and more students studying inside. There will be fewer teachers in the future because we will study on computers. Teachers will teach us online. Second, in the future, we won’t do as much homework as we do now, so we will have more time to do our favorite things. In the future, we’ll study at school for only three days a week, so the holidays will be longer and we’ll be happier.
