It’s not the fanciest(富于幻想的) car in the world. Not even close. But the 1971 Volkswagen named Helios can do something most cars can’t: run on solar energy(太阳能) --- energy from the sun’s light and heat!
Joshua Bechtold, 14, and the other students at the Riverside School in Lyndoonville, Vermont, worked many moths to get Helios ready for the 1999 American Tour de Sol(). They named their car after Helios, the sun god in Greek mythology(神话).
The 4-year-old Tour de Sol encourage the use of “green”, or environmentally friendly cars to help reduce pollution and save energy. It’s not a race. Cars are judged on fuel efficiency(效率) rather than speed. In the week-long event, 44 cars took the 350-mile tour from Waterbury, Connecticut, to Lake George, New York. Of the 23 student cars, Helios was the only one built by middle school students.
A teacher drove Helios, but the children talked with people wherever they stopped along the road. “That was my favorite part,” says Anna Browne, 15. “We explained how the car runs?”
Due in part to old, inefficient batteries(电池), Helios finished fourth — out of four --- in its kind, the sun-powered class. “We were there for the fun of it,” Anna says, “We are proud of Helios,” says Ariel Gleicher, 14. “It’s a car that’s good for the environment.”
1. What is special about the car Helios in the text?
A. It was built by middle school students. B. It has an attractive design.
C. It was made in 1971. D. It won the fourth prize.
2. How many sun-powered cars took part in the race?
A. 1. B. 4. C. 23 D. 44
3. What would be the best title for the text?
A. The Making of Helios B. 1999 American Tour de Sol
C. Sun-powered Cars on the Road D. Use of Green Cars in Connecticut
4. The students felt proud of Helios because ____.
A. It could run as far as 350 miles B. it was favoured by many children
C. it had high-quality batteries D. it was driven by clean energy
5. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Cars can be driven by solar energy. B. The 4-year-old Tour de Sol is not a race.
C. “Green” in the text means environmentally friendly D. Helios is a student’s name.

The answer to a very great noise may not be blocking it out with earplug（耳塞） but taking that noise and bearing it as its own game.
Earplugs have been the simple but effective way to stop noise affecting your mind, but their shortcoming is that they also block out sounds you may want or need to hear, such as music or someone talking to you.
The answer to this problem is " active noise cancellation(抵消)" headphones that are made up of a microphone and electronics (电子装置)that take all background low-frequency ( 低频率) noise, turn the sound waves upside down and rebroadcast them into your ears.
The result is that all the unwanted noises around are blocked out.
In effect, one set of electronically produced around wave has sucked away the unwanted sound waves of noise.
Stand next to a busy road wearing the noise cancellation headphones and the traffic noise disappears. Sit in an airplane and the engine noise dies away. In a noisy office, the noise of office equipment, people and air-conditioning is gone. You can still , however, hear music or people talking because that sound does not have a regular pattern and so the device (装置) does not block it.
17. What is the best way to keep out the unwanted noise?
A. To wear an earplug. B. To wear a headphone.
C. To wear a microphone. D. To wear electronics.
18. Which of the following gives a general idea of how the above device works?
A. By producing low-frequency sound waves and rebroadcast them.
B. By producing new sound waves to suck away the unwanted sound waves.
C. By changing all background low-frequency noise into an irregular pattern.
D. By sucking away all the low-frequency sound waves turned upside down.
19. Suppose you are driving your friend to the airport and the car radio is on, what can't you
hear if you wear a headphone?
A. The radio music and the car engine noise.
B. The noise of the planes passing overhead and what your friend says.
C. The radio music and what your friend says.
D. The noise of the car and the planes passing overhead.
