2.Think about the different ways that people use the wind.You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat.Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources(来源),as well as one of the oldest.Evidence shows that windmills(风车)began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC.They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s,when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.
For many centuries,people used windmills to grind(磨碎)wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground.When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s,people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity.This allowed them to have electric lights and radio.However,by the 1940s,when electricity was available
to people in almost all areas of the United States,windmills were rarely used.
During the 1970s,people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity.People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever.Then,wind was rediscovered,though it means higher costs.Today,there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.

5.From the text we know that windmillsC.
A.were invented by European armies
B.have a history of more than 3000 years
C.used to supply power to radio in remote areas
D.have rarely been used since electricity was discovered
6.What was a new use for wind power in the late l9th century?B
A.Sailing a boat.
B.Producing electricity.
C.Grinding wheat into flour.
D.Pumping water from underground.

A.wind power is cleaner
B.it is one of the oldest power sources
C.it was cheaper to create energy from wind
D.the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needs
8.What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?D
A.The advantage of wind power.
B.The design of wind power plants.
C.The worldwide movement to save energy.
D.The global movement towards producing power from wind.

分析 本文介绍了风能及风能运用的情况.在能源短缺的今天,作为最为洁净、丰富的风能,一定会对我们的生活作出极大的贡献.

解答 5.C 细节理解题.根据第二段的第二句"When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s.people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity.This allowed them to have electrie lights and radio."可知,十九世纪末有了电之后,偏僻地区的人们就利用风车发电,于是人们就有了电灯和收音机,因此选择C项.根据第一段的"…windmills began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC"可知,A项错误;B项错在more than;根据末段句子可知,尽管成本较高,人们依然使用风能提供电力,因此D项错误.
6.B 细节理解题.根据第二段句子"When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s,people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity."可知,人们最初利用风车磨面或抽水,十九世纪末有了电之后,人们又用其发电,因此选择B项.
7.A 推理判断题.根据最后一段"people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity"可知,二十世纪七十年代,人们注重环保,而且认识到煤和气的短缺;而风能的特点是洁净、丰富和历史悠久,但是成本较高.综合选择A项最佳.
8.D 推理判断题.根据末段句子"Today,there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind"可知:现在全球已越来越多地使用风力发电,所以下一段应该要进一步推广使用风力发电,这是一种总体的能源发展趋势.接下来作者应该谈论利用风能发电的情况,因此选择D项.

13.There is a popular saying in the English language:Sticks and stones may break my bones,but words will never hurt me."Well,that is not true.Unkind words,name-calling or even the so-called"the silent tretment"can hurt children as much as being physically hit,sometimes even more so.
A recent study of middle school children showed that verbal(言语的)abuse by other children can harm development in the brain.The study was a project of researchers at Harvard Medical School in Massachusetts.Researcher Martin Teicher and his team studied young dults,aged 18to 25.These young men and women h ad not ever been treated in a cruel or violent way by their parents.The researchers asked the young people to rate their childhood exposure to verbal abuse from both parents and other children.Then the researchers performed imaging tests on the brains of the subjects.
The images showed that the people who reported suffering verbal abuse from peers in middle school had underdeveloped connections between the left and right side of he brain.The two sides of the brain are connected by a large bundle of connecting fibers called the corpus callosum(胼胝体,胼胝体,脑胼胝体).This was the area that was underdeveloped.
The middle school years are a time when these brain connections are developing.So,unkind,hurtful comments from children or adults during this period have the greatest effect.The researchers tested the mental and emotional condition of all the young people in the study.The tests showed that this same group of people had higher levels of fear,depression,anger and drug abuse than others in the study.
The researchers published their findings online o the American Journal of Psychiatry's website.
Parents cannot control what other people say to their children,but they can prepare their children.

14.Living an adventurous lifeNearly ten years ago,I was told that I had a brain tumor (瘤),and this experience changed my attitude about adventure forever.I thought that I was going to die and that all my adventures were over.I did not have a brain tumor,it turned out,but rather multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化),which meant that,although they were not over,the nature of my adventures could have to change.
Each morning that I wake up is a fresh event,something that I might not have had.Each gesture that I make carries the weight of uncertainty and demands significant attention; buttoning my shirt,changing a light bulb,walking down stairs.I might not be able to do it this time.If I could not delight in them,they would likely drown me in anger and in self-pity.
I admire the grand adventures of others.I read about them with interest.With Peter Matthiessen I have hiked across the Himalayas to the Crystal Mountain.I have walked with Annie Dillard up,down,into,and across Tinker Creek in all seasons.David Bain has gone with me along 110 miles of Philippine coast,and Ed Abbey has rowed me down the Colorado River,I enjoy the adventures of these courageous figures,who can strike out on difficult trips-2 miles,250 miles,3000 miles-ready to bear cold and tiredness-indeed not just to bear but to celebrate.
But as for me,I can no longer walk very far from the armchair in which I read.Some days I don't even make it to the backyard.And yet I'm unwilling to give up the adventurous life; the difficulty of it,even the pain,the an xiety and fear,and the sudden brief lift of spirit that makes a hard journey more attractive.
I refine adventure,make it smaller and smaller.And now,whether I am moving on my hands and knees across the dining room to help my cat,lying wide-eyed in the dark battling another period of sadness,gathering flowers from the garden,meeting a friend for lunch,I am always having the adventures that are mine to have.
