Ways to Deal with the Problem of Energy
There are different ways in which people try to deal with the problem of energy.One way is the greater production of common energy sources,such as coal,oil and gas.The trouble with these sources,however,is that they are not renewable.
Another way is energy conservation(節(jié)能),which means using energy more efficiently.In some very cold countries people build special houses to save energy.They place materials between the inside and the outside of the walls of the house to keep the cold out and warmth in.The house is heated by the lights,the body heat of the people and the other equipment in it.
Finally,renewable energy sources are used even though they are often expensive to develop.One form of these is geothermal energy.In certain parts of the world the temperature of the earth increases thirty degrees centigrate with each kilometer down.At six kilometers,therefore,it rises to nearly 200degrees.To get the heat,water is pumped down into the rocks and back up to the surface.Heat from the earth is already used in certain countries.
小題1:The writer tells about “the special houses”because they______.
A.show the excellent skills of the builders
B.serve as an example of the energy conservation
C.a(chǎn)re heated by different sources of energy
D.a(chǎn)re warmer than other types of energy
小題2:The underlaned words”geothermal energy”in the third paragraph mean____.
A.renewable sourceB.underground source
C.heat inside the earthD.temperature of the earth
小題3:At a place where the surface temperature is 15degrees centigrade,how deep do you have to dig so as to get a temperature of 75 degrees centigrade?
A.One km.B.Two km.C.Three km.D.Four km.

小題1:B
小題2:C
小題3:B

試題分析:本文介紹了人們?yōu)榱吮Wo環(huán)境而節(jié)約能源,使用多種資源的故事。
小題1:B 推理題。根據(jù)Another way is energy conservation(節(jié)能),which means using energy more efficiently.In some very cold countries people build special houses to save energy.說明她們提出這個話題是用這個例子說明自己的觀點。故B正確。
小題2:C 推理題。根據(jù).In certain parts of the world the temperature of the earth increases thirty degrees centigrate with each kilometer down.說明這里的提及的geothermal energy就是指地?zé)豳Y源,故C正確。
小題3:B 計算題。根據(jù)In certain parts of the world the temperature of the earth increases thirty degrees centigrate with each kilometer說明每向下1公里,溫度上升30度,。那么挖了2公里上升60度,原來還有15度,一共是75度,故B正確。
點評:文章基本上是考查細節(jié)題,對此類題型考生可以首先從問題中找到關(guān)鍵詞,然后以此為線索,運用略讀及查閱的技巧在文中迅速尋找這一細節(jié),找到后再把這一部分內(nèi)容仔細閱讀一遍,仔細比較所給選項與文中細節(jié)的細微區(qū)別,在準確理解細節(jié)的前提下,最后確定最佳答案。

Online clothes shoppers will be told exactly what size is best. for them using new software which combines with their web camera or smart phone to form a“3D tape measure”.
Scientists from Surrey University and design experts from the London College of Fashion are developing a program which can take precise (精確的) waist, hip, chest and other measurements from camera images.
Using the person’s height as a starting point,the software will be able to build up a 3D image and estimate their size at various different points on the body, based on their overall proportions.
The result will be a more accurate sizing guide than previous systems based on waist size or a “small/medium/large”scale, which rely on limited measurements and the buyer’s perception of their own body size.
Shoppers and retailers(零售商)who choose to sign up for the project could save millions of pounds a year in postage costs by removing the need to order multiple sizes of the same garment(服裝) and send back ill-fitting clothes, researchers claimed.
The project, sponsored by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council(EPSRC), is expected to be brought to market within two years.
After choosing an item, the shopper will activate the software, enter their height, stand in front of their webcam or smart phone in their underwear and take a photograph.
The software will not store or transmit the image to the internet, but will use it to judge the person’s dimensions at various points on their body.
Philip Delamore of the London College of Fashion said:“The potential benefits for the fashion industry and for shoppers are huge. Currently, it’s common for online shoppers to order two or three different sizes of the same item of clothing at the same time, as they’re unsure which one will fit best.”
小題1:What is the essential part of a 3D tape measure?
A.a(chǎn) software B.a(chǎn) webcam
C.a(chǎn) microphone D.a(chǎn) smart phone
小題2:What can we learn about the 3D tape measure?
A.It will store or transmit the image to the internet.
B.It is based on the buyer’s perception of their size.
C.It will be a co-working production.
D.It uses a person’s weight as a starting point.
小題3:Compared with the traditional sizing system, a 3D tape measure is_______.
A.quicker B.more precise
C.more beautiful D.more vivid
小題4:How can the 3D tape measure benefit online shoppers?
A.Online shoppers will get their ordered garment in time.
B.Online shoppers will get their ordered garment more quickly.
C.Online shoppers will get an ordered garment of high quality.
D.Online shoppers will get an ordered garment to their measure.
小題5:What is the right order for a shopper to form a 3D tape measure?
①to take a photo with a webcam
②to activate the software
③to enter his/her height
④to judge his size by analyzing his image
A.①②③④B.②①③④C.②③①④D.②③④①

The French word renaissance means rebirth. It was first used in 1855 by the historian Jules Michelet in his History of France,then adopted by historians of culture,by art historians,and eventually by music historians,all of whom applied it to European culture during the 150 years spanning 1450-1600.The concept of rebirth was appropriate to this period of European history because of the renewed interest in ancient Greek and Roman culture that began in Italy and then spread throughout Europe. Scholars and artists of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries wanted to restore the learning and ideals of the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome. To these scholars this meant a return to human—as opposed to spiritual values. Fulfillment in life—as opposed to concern about an afterlife—became a desirable goal,and expressing the entire range of human emotions and enjoying the pleasures of the senses were no longer frowned(皺眉頭) on. Artists and writers now turned to secular(不朽的)as well as religious subject matter and sought to make their works understandable and appealing.
These changes in outlook deeply affected the musical culture of the Renaissance period—how people thought about music as well as the way music was composed,experienced,discussed,and circulated. They could see the architectural monuments,sculptures(雕塑),plays,and poems that were being rediscovered,but they could not actually hear ancient music—although they could read the writings of classical philosophers,poets,essayists,and music theorists that were becoming available in translation. They learned about the power of ancient music to move the listener and wondered why modern music did not have the same effect. For example,the influential religious leader Bernardino Cirillo expressed disappointment with the learned music of his time. He urged musicians to follow the example of the sculptors,painters,architects,and scholars who had rediscovered ancient art and literature.
The musical Renaissance in Europe was more a general cultural movement and state of mind than a specific set of musical techniques. Furthermore,music changed so rapidly during this century and a half—though at different rates in different countries—that we cannot define a single Renaissance style.
小題1:What is the passage mainly about?
A.The musical compositions that best illustrate the developments during the European Renaissance.
B.The musical techniques that were in use during the European Renaissance.
C.The European Renaissance as a cultural development that included changes in musical style.
D.The ancient Greek and Roman musical practices used during the European Renaissance.
小題2:The underlined word “now” in Paragraph 1 refers to ________.
A.1855
B.the period of the Renaissance
C.the time of the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome
D.the time at which the author wrote the passage
小題3:It can be inferred from the passage that thinkers of the Renaissance were seeking a rebirth of ________.
A.spirituality in everyday life
B.communication among artists across Europe
C.a(chǎn) cultural emphasis on human values
D.religious themes in art that would accompany the traditional secular themes
小題4:What can be inferred about the music of ancient Greece and Rome?
A.Its effect on listeners was described in a number of classical texts.
B.It was played on instruments that are familiar to modern audiences.
C.It expressed more different ideals than classical sculpture,painting and poetry.
D.It had the same effect on Renaissance audiences as it had when originally performed.
小題5:According to the passage,why was Bernardino Cirillo disappointed with the music of his time?
A.It did not contain enough religious themes.
B.It had little emotional impact on audiences.
C.It was not complex enough to appeal to musicians.
D.It was too dependent on the art and literature of his time.

Some British and American people like to invite friends for a meal at home. You should not be upset if your English friends don't invite you home. It doesn't mean they don't like you! Dinner parties usually start between 7 and 8 p.m., And end at about 11. Ask your hosts what time you should arrive. It's polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as gift. Usually the evening starts with drinks and snacks. Do you want to be extra polite? Say how much you like the room, or the pictures on the wall. But remember---- it's not polite to ask how much things cost. In many families, the husband sits at one end of the table and the wife sits at the other end. They eat with their guests.
You'll probably start meal with soup or something small, and then you have meat of fish with vegetables, and then desert, followed by coffee. It's polite to finish everything on your plate and have more if you want it. Did you enjoy the evening? Call your host and hostess the next day, or write them a short "thank you" letter.

If Confucius(孔子)were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles(蠟燭). He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.
While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.
In the past twenty years, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes(孔子學(xué)院) in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲學(xué)). Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing(比賽)to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.
So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well.
Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.
As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the west, even if his birthday is.
小題1:The opening paragraph is mainly intended to______.
A.provide some key facts about Confucius
B.a(chǎn)ttract the readers’ interest in the topic
C.show great respect for the ancient thinker
D.prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations
小題2:We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students______.
A.have a great interest in studying Chinese
B.take an active part in Chinese competitions
C.try to get high scores in Chinese exams
D.fight for a chance to learn Chinese
小題3:What is the best title for the passage?
A.Forgotten Wisdom in America
B.Huge Fans of the Chinese Language
C. Old Thinker with a Big Future
D.Chinese Culture for Westerners
小題4:The passage is likely to appear in a _______.
A.leafletB.history paper

They say that Mexico is a country no one ever leaves. Every year, millions of tourists pass through. And Mexicans happily warn that a part of them will remain behind forever. Most visitors are vacationing North Americans who go up on the brilliant beaches of Cancun, Acapulco, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta. The beaches, of course, are among the world’s best ----but those who venture (冒險) inland are rewarded with the true soul of Mexico.
And it is a big soul. The Republic of Mexico is vast, consisting of nearly two million square miles of coastline, desert, rain forest, mountains, and rich plains. From the American borderlands of the wide, agriculturally rich north, the country narrows gently as it sweeps south and east. The two main mountain ranges(山脊), the Sierra Madre Occidental and the Sierra Madre Oriental, hug the west and east, finally merging(融入) into the volcanically active central highlands and the capital, Mexico City - the most populous city in the world. Further south, the country narrows to only 100 miles, then broadens again before reaching the Guatemalan border. There are two major peninsulas (半島) in Mexico: the Baja Peninsula to the west and the Yucatan peninsular to the east.
The population is about 106 million. and the generosity (慷慨大方) of the Mexican people is unsurpassed. Knowing a few simple sentences in Spanish will win hearts.
Mexico has been blessed with an unusually temperate (適度的) climate year-round. The most important thing to remember is that the Mexican summer is also the rainy season, although the rain rarely lasts more than a few hours, and typically arrives in the late afternoon. Extremes(極端)are present only in the North and in Baja, both of which have deserts where the temperature leaps above 100F. Mexico City has a year-round temperature in the high 80s. while the coasts usually stay in the mid-90s. Night time temperatures fall somewhat, but rarely break down below a comfortable 60F.
小題1:All of the following are names of beaches EXCEPT ___________ .
A.Puerto VallartaB.CancunC.Guatemalan D.Mazatlan
小題2:The Republic of Mexico _________.
A.has two peninsulas altogether
B.has a population of about 106 million
C.has more than 2 million square miles of coastline
D.has two main mountain ranges going from west to east
小題3:The underlined word "unsurpassed" in the 3rd paragraph probably means”         ".
A perfect          B. false               C. ancient            D. out of date
小題4:You may suffer extreme temperatures if you go to ___________.        .
A.the eastB.the westC.the southD.the north
小題5:Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
