From this year, new electronic（電子的） cards will take the place of the plastic identity cards （ID cards） which are carried by all the Chinese citizens over 16.
The new ID card has a microchip（微芯片）. Personal（個人的） information will be locked into the card so that people won’t be able to use false identities.
China’s plastic ID cards came into use 18 years ago, and a similar system（相似的系統） is used in many other countries. However, the information on a card is different from nation to nation. Most ID cards show the holder’s name, sex, date of birth and photo, as well as his or her number.
Germany, France and Spain all use ID cards, but some nations don’t like the idea, such as the USA, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and Britain. They have no national ID cards. However, some of the countries have ID cards for special uses. For example, Australia and the USA use a driving license to identify people.
ID cards are carried for many reasons. Now the USA, Britain and some other countries are considering a national ID system as a way of preventing possible terrorist attacks（恐怖襲擊）.
1．A Chinese citizen doesn’t hold an ID card until he or she is _____ years old.
A．14 B．16 C．17 D．18
2．Which of the following is the disadvantage（缺點） of the plastic ID cards? .
A．They’re easier to fake B．They can’t be used widely
C．They are not important D．They’re not modem
3．The underlined word “considering” in the passage means .
A．thinking about B．talking about C．looking after D．finding out
4．Which of the following is true? .
A．ID systems can stop attacks
B．Britain has its own national ID system now
C．Not all the information on ID cards of different countries is the same
D．All the personal information will be kept in the microchip

We have always been interested in the moon. 2000 years ago people already knew it moved around the earth and where it would be in the sky at different times of the year. At that time, everything about the moon was learned by watching it carefully in the sky.
When scientists could use telescopes(望遠鏡) to study the moon more closely, their ideas began to change. They could see the moon was made of rocks. Most scientists thought moon rocks would be different from those on Earth. This was because they believed the moon had once been a planet that had been caught in the earth’s gravity millions of years earlier.
In 1969 moon rocks were finally brought to the earth and studied. Much to their surprise, scientists found that, except for water, the moon and the earth were made of the same things. Once again new ideas were needed for this new information.
After years of study, most scientists now think that the moon was once part of Earth. They believe very early in its history, maybe 4 million years ago, something about the size of Mars hit Earth. This sent billions of rocks into space around our planet. These rocks slowly joined together and after many years became the moon.
In the future, even though our ideas about the moon may change again, we will still be interested in it.
【小題1】From the passage we know the moon was made of_____________.
| A．earth | B．rocks | C．water | D．metal |

| C．where the moon came from in the past |
| D．that people have finally learned the truth about the moon. |
| A．part of the earth billions of years earlier |
| B．older than the earth |
| C．a planet caught by the earth’s gravity |
| D．made of the same things as the earth |
| A．scientists in the past were not clever |

In the morning, we went camping along a path in Green Natural Park. We were happy because it was a sunny day. We were expecting an enjoyable two-day holiday. On the way, we kept singing and making jokes.
However, in the afternoon, when we finished our picnic at one o’clock, it was dark and windy. Soon, there was a shower. Unluckily, none of us brought an umbrella. We ran about but we could find no place to hide.
Twenty minutes passed and it was still raining, There were hours to go before we reached the campsite (野營地). It was even worse that our small compass (指南針) showed that we went to the wrong way. We had lost our way!
We had to make a quick decision as it was raining heavily. Chris said we could set up a tent to hide in, so Mary and Tom helped to set up the tent. Chris and I tried to make a fire to keep us warm. But we were unable to light the fire, as everything was wet. We dried ourselves, chatted and waited inside the tent. At about five o’clock, it stopped raining. We decided to give up the camping trip because all of us had been very tired.
This camping trip may not be very successful but we know each other better. And the most important thing I’ve learned from this trip is the importance of team spirit.

In most parts of the world, many students help their school make less pollution. They join in “environment(環境) clubs”. In an environment club, people work together to make our environment clean.

Walk, jump, bike or run.
Use your legs! It’s lots of fun!
No-garbage(垃圾) lunches. How much do you throw away after lunch? Environment clubs ask students to bring their lunches in bags that can be used again. Every week they will choose the classes that make the least garbage and report them to the whole school!

The
Aborigines (澳洲土著) have lived in Australia for about 60,000 years. They painted
pictures inside caves, and these are the rock paintings that have given us so
much information about Aboriginal life. For example, some of the paintings that
are about 10,000 years old show men with boomerangs. From this we know that the
Aborigines started using boomerangs for hunting at that time. Other pictures
show kangaroos, so we know that there were kangaroos at that time.
The Aborigines believed that spirits made people, animals and plants, and that these spirits still live in the earth. For Aborigines, no one can own the earth—the earth belongs to the spirits.
In 1700, there were many Aboriginal groups with a population of 750,000 all over Australia, and there were probably more than 240 different Aboriginal languages. The groups did not have a leader. Instead, things were decided by the older men in a group. People from different groups often travelled hundreds of miles to meet each other.
Aboriginal life changed when an English boat arrived in Australia in 1770. Many Aborigines were killed in the wars that they had with the English. More Europeans came, and they started taking land from the Aborigines. The Europeans also brought new illnesses that killed the Aborigines. The result is that today there are only about 300,000 Aborigines in Australia.
1. The Aborigines painted pictures .
A. on animals’ fur B. on the land
C. on the tree D. on the rock
2. What do you think the Aborigines used boomerangs to do?
A. To paint. B. To hunt. C. To fight. D. To play.
3.. The Aborigines thought were the most important on the earth.
A. people B. animals C. spirits D. plants
4. In an Aboriginal group decided things.
A. the older men B. the leader
C. the English D. the Europeans
5.The number of the Aborigines is small today .
A. because their living condition was very bad
B. because the English killed a lot of them in the wars
C. because of the new illnesses the Europeans brought them
D. because of the wars and the new illnesses
