沪教牛津版初中英语九年级上册 Unit 5 课文
A
Each year there is an increasing number of cars on the roads and streets as millions of new cars and trucks are produced. One out of every six Americans works at putting together the parts of the cars, driving trucks, building roads, or filling cars with gas. Americans won’t live without cars!
Most Americans would find it hard to think what life could look like without a car. However，some have realized the serious problem of the air pollution caused by the car. The polluted air becomes poisonous and dangerous to people’s health.
One way to get rid of the polluted car is to design a car that does not pollute. That’s what several of the large car factories have been trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.
Another way is to take the place of the car engine （发动机）by something else. Inventors are now working on steam cars as well as electric cars. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man.
To prevent the world from being polluted by car, we’ll have to make some changes. Americans，for example, have to cut down on the number of their total cars. They are encouraged to travel and to go to work by bicycle. Bicycling is thought to help keep the air clean.
But this change doesn’t come easily—a large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down. Thus the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.
Although cars have led us to a better life, they have also brought us new problems.

Adopting Animals(领养动物)
Would you like to adopt an animal? Although this sounds very unusual, some children have done this. The Natural Zoo has given people the chance to adopt animals by paying for all of its food for one year. One of the animals that needed parents was a young tiger named Brocky. The people at the zoo said that it would cost about $ 900 a year for the food for Brocky.
Not many boys and girls have $ 900 to spend. That is why several hundred children and grown-ups each have sent a little money to the zoo to help pay for Brocky’s food. Some children sent in only a quarter because that was all the money they had. Other children sent in more money than that.
Since so many people sent money to the zoo to help pay for Brocky’s food, he now will be able to eat as much as he wants. Brocky surely must be a happy tiger to know that he has so many adopted parents. Many children must also be happy to know that they have helped to feed him. It really will be thrilling for those children to go to the Natural Zoo to visit their adopted tiger Brocky.

8. Children will be ________ if they go to the zoo to visit the tiger Brocky.
A. frightened
B. excited and happy
C. nervous
D. surprised
9. With so many people’s money, Brocky now can _________.
A. play with many toys
B. live without being hungry
C. eat meat every day
D. have an air-conditioned room to live in
