【题目】Mr. Sawyer started his career at Stanford University, _____ he became Professor of Physics in 2002.

A. which B. where C. when D. that

【答案】B

【解析】

试题分析:考查非限制性定语从句。先行词是at Stanford University,定语从句主谓宾都有。结合句意可知缺少地点状语,故用关系副词where来引导从句,修饰限制at Stanford University。句意:索耶先生在斯坦福大学开始他的职业生涯,他在 2002 年成为斯坦福大学的物理学教授。故选B。

How to Find Yourself

Do you often feel lost?Do you think you are living somebody else’s life? If yes, discover ways to find yourself by going through the following article.

1_______________

If you are thinking, “how to find yourself when you are lost?”, then the first thing to do is to have a rest from everything—work, personal life and all worldly things. Give time to yourself to think why you seem lost. Is it because of over work? Is it because you are not leading a life that you want to? Or is it because you are not satisfied with the people or things around you? Try to find answers to these questions to determine the cause behind your restlessness.

2_______________

For once, instead of being the way others want you to be, be yourself. Look within and find yourself in you. Think about the things that you would want to do if you didn’t have any family obligations or any money issues. Think about the kind of relationship you would want to be in, the place that you would like to stay in, the kind of lifestyle you would like to lead, if you didn’t have the society or people around you, judging all the time. If you really want to know how to find inner peace, then think, what you would want others to describe you as—an honest person? Or adventurous? Or loving, or realistic? Once you look within, you will know the answer and then try to be exactly that.

3_______________

Thinking deeply about the past, the time or situations when you were the happiest, is another way to find yourself .Think what you were doing or with whom you were, when you were the happiest. This will help you to identify things that you want to do in life that make you happy and also certain people whose company you enjoy.

4_______________

Knowing yourself and determining what you to do with your life will not come to you in a day or two. Discovering oneself is an ongoing process and it can take months or sometimes even years to truly find yourself. So, it’s important that you maintain a written record of all your feelings and thoughts, which you can go through at a later stage. Pour all your emotions and feelings about life in it and who knows may be one day going through it, you will find yourself.

5_______________

Once you have discovered what you want to do with your life, make a move for change and self improvement. Even if it means taking up small things such as dancing or painting, go ahead and do it. If you want a career change, plan and take steps so that it can take place smoothly. If you are stuck in a bad relationship and find yourself unable to mend it, break away. At the beginning, you may find yourself slightly unbalanced, but with time everything will be fine.

It is very important for you to truly find yourself, before it is too late. If you do not find yourself now, you will spend your life with somebody you do not even know.

【题目】On warm summer days with little or no wind, the air temperature in cities can be up to ten degrees higher than that of the surrounding countryside. This is a phenomenon commonly referred to as the “urban heat island” effect.

This phenomenon happens when pavement, buildings, and other infrastructure (基础设施) replace natural land cover. Large amounts of paved and dark colored surfaces—such as roofs, roads, and parking lots—absorb, rather than reflect, the sun’s heat, causing surface temperatures and overall ambient (周围的) air temperature to rise. Unlike soil, paved areas contribute to runoff, which means that as paved areas increase, the amount of water available for evaporation (蒸发) decreases. Moreover, urban areas have fewer trees and less natural vegetation which help to control the heat by providing shade and blocking solar radiation. The surfaces of leaves also provide water for evaporation which cools the air, further worsening the heat island effect.

In particular, during summer, more energy is required to cool the insides of building and for refrigeration, thereby creating additional heat output. This in turn leads to higher ambient air temperatures, which can also significantly increase the formation of urban smog in an area, degrading local air quality. Such a situation may directly affect public health with individuals more likely to suffer from heat exhaustion and the effects of asthma (哮喘).

【1The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means ________.

A.Due to dark colored roads, urban areas are becoming hotter each year

B.Dark colored surfaces reflect the sun’s heat, causing air temperatures to rise

C.Because urban surfaces absorb heat, air and surface temperatures increase

D.Rising ambient air temperatures lead to urban surfaces absorbing more heat

【2Which of the following is not a cause of the urban heat island effect?

A.The lack of trees

B.The demand for refrigeration

C.The blocking of solar radiation

D.The construction of infrastructure.

【3The underlined word “degrading” most probably means ________.

A.ignoring B.improving

C.highlighting D.worsening

【4The passage is mainly developed by ________.

A.giving typical examples

B.following the time order

C.presenting the effect and analyzing the cause

D.analyzing a problem and seeking the solution
