27、ufacturers have announced their plans to develop hybrid vehicles (混合燃料汽车) for the Chinese market. Toyotas hybrid car Prius will be ready to drive in China this week. Lets have a look at the new car.Any vehicle is a hybrid when it combines two or more sources of power. Hybrid cars run off a rechargea

28、ble battery and gasoline. Hybrid cars have special engines, which are smaller than traditional gasoline engines. They run at 99 percent of their power when the car is cruising (匀速行驶). A specially designed battery motor provides extra power for running up hills or when extra acceleration is needed.St

29、ep into a Prius, and turn on the engine. The first thing you notice is how much quieter it is than a traditional car. At this point, the cars gasoline engine is dormant (休眠). The electric motor will provide power until the car reaches about 24 km/h. If you stay at a low speed, you are effectively dr

30、iving an electric car, with no gasoline being used, and no waste gas gives off.The onboard(车载的) computer makes the decision about when to use a gas engine, when to go electric, and when to use a combination of the two.

36、t carriers are considered one of the most important marine weapons in the 20th century. So far, only two countries in the world, the USA and France, have ever produced them. But these fearful fighting machines are about to enter Asia.The US Navy said last month that one of its nine nuclearpowered ai

37、rcraft carriers will be sent to Japan to replace the diesel(柴油)powered carrier Kitty Hawk in 2008. In an agreement on October 30, the two countries also planned to level up their military (军事的) cooperation and the USA called for Japan to take a larger role in alliance (联盟)military moves.It will be t

38、he first time that a nuclearpowered carrier is based in Japan. Bombed by US forces in World War at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan is the only world country to have been attacked by a nuclear weapon. Therefore, the citizens are highly sensitive to where nuclearpowered weapons are based.“A radiation le

39、ak at Yokosuka would kill 100,000 people as far away as Tokyo, and could cause billions of dollars in damage，” said Masahiko Goto, leader of a protest group in Yokosuka. His group has collected more than 300,000 signatures of people across Japan opposed to the nuclear carrier.The 44yearold Kitty Haw

40、k, the US Navys oldest active ship, has been based in Yokosuka since 1998. It had returned to the US to be decommissioned(废弃核武器) in 2008. The new carrier will travel faster, be capable of supporting longer operations and carry with it the Navys most modern technology.Experts pointed that this change

41、 is not only to strengthen the USJapan military alliance but also to keep the military power of China and North Korea within limits. However, even Japanese experts dont believe that the two countries are threats to the region.“There is no need for Japan to have a nuclear carrier as defense，” said Te

42、tsuo Maeda, an international relations professor at Tokyo International University.

46、t is unnecessary to guard against the two countriesCAn Australian researcher is urging parents to load up their teenagers backpack and make them walk to school.Professor Leon Straker says students who walk or cycle to school are less likely to have back and neck pain. But the study of 1,202 Western

47、Australian 14yearold found that 72% of students travelled to school by car or bus. Straker says the study suggests walking or cycling while carrying a schoolbag helps improve trunk (躯干) and spinal (脊柱的) muscle strength.This helps reduce back pain because greater muscle strength improves support for

48、the back during load carrying .Despite advocating that parents get their children moving，Straker warns bag load should not exceed (超过) 15% of body weight.Straker says the study also stresses that neck pain is as common as back pain among young teenagers. This is an area that has been largely ignored

49、，he says，but can be an important indicator of neck pain into adulthood.For the study，students were asked a series of questions such as how long they carried their bags for，how they carried their schoolbags，the method of travel，and their perceptions(感觉) about the bags weight.Straker says about half o

50、f all participants experienced back and neck pain，with slightly more females reporting neck pain. However，the gender (性别) difference may also be due to the fact that females have lower pain tolerance.Studies from the 1980s found carrying a bag over one shoulder was most common among teenagers. Howev

51、er in this study 85% of participants carried their bag over both shoulders.Straker believes the change has been driven partly through education campaigns，but also by increasing fashion status of backpacks and improved design.64In the opinion of Leon Straker，parents should_.Areduce the load of their

52、childrens schoolbagsBput more books in their childrens schoolbagsCget their childrens schoolbags ready for schoolDask their children to walk to school carrying schoolbags65If a child weighs 40 kilograms，the weight of his schoolbag should be_.Ano more than 15 kg Bless than 6 kgCas heavy as 9 kg Dmore

53、 than 6 kg66We can learn from the passage that_.Amost of the students in Australia walk to schoolBneck pain is uncommon among young teenagersCwalking while carrying a backpack helps reduce back painDmales are more likely to experience back pain than females67According to the passage，what change has

54、taken place since the 1980s?AHow students carry their schoolbags.BHow heavy students schoolbags are.CHow students go to school every day.DHow long students carry their schoolbags for.DThe fourth round of heavy smog to hit Beijing in four weeks has sent more people to the hospital with respiratory（呼吸

55、的） illnesses and led to calls for laws to control the pollution.Pan Shiyi, a celebrity real estate developer said he is planning to propose (提案) a Clean Air Act to the local government. As a representative to the Beijing Municipal Peoples Congress, he started an online survey at 9:20 a.m. Within thr

56、ee hours, more than 25,000 web users, or 99 percent of total respondents（应答者）, welcomed his proposal on Sina Weibo, Chinas Twitter.They have good reasons to stand alongside Pan. The latest round of haze（雾霾）reduced visibility to under 500 meters in many parts of the city. The smog has also led to a g

57、reat increase in respiratory illnesses, particularly among children and the elderly. Anxious parents and doctors almost all blame the smoggy air for the illnesses. Though most schoolchildren are home for the winter holidays, the bad air can easily move indoors. Besides, ordinary medical masks fail t

58、o provide adequate protection, so some people have turned to gas masks and respirators（呼吸器）.The causes of the scary smog are rather mysterious, though experts blame excessive emissions and the mountains around Beijing that trap pollution in winter, unless there is adequate wind to clear it away. Som

59、e critics have pointed fingers at Chinas top two oil firms, China National Petroleum Corp and China Petrochemical Corporation, saying the companies outdated production technologies produce large quantities of substandard, high-polluting gas fuel.Meanwhile, concerned Beijingers have moved their brain

60、storming sessions to cyberspace. If Pans proposal for a Clean Air Act is adopted, netizens say the new law should include items providing for “car-free days” in times of smog, higher standards for vehicle fuel, stricter restrictions on industrial and exhaust gas emissions, and more effective protect

61、ion for the public.Beijing is not the only city that has ever lost the blue sky. Five days of thick fog caused thousands of deaths in Britain in December 1952, urging the government to pass the first Clean Air Act in 1956, which introduced smokeless zones and cleaner fuels to reduce pollution.
