A.had nearly doubledB.has nearly doubled
C.nearly doubledD.has nearly been doubling

分析 在过去的16年里,亚米希人的人口数将近增加了一倍达到了23万,每个家庭大约有5个孩子.

解答 答案:B
根据句中的时间状语"Over the past 16years"可知,此处表示在过去的16年里发生的事情,即人口数将近增加了一倍;故应使用现在完成时;A.过去完成时表示发生在过去某时间之前的动作;C.一般过去时,表示过去发生并且现在已经结束的动作,此处指的是人口数的增长情况,因此应表示现在没有结束的动作;D.现在完成时态的被动语态;此处的主语the population 与谓语double构成主谓关系,不能使用被动语态;因此A.C.D都不合句意;故选B

点评 本题考查了现在完成时的用法.做本题时,首先可以根据句中的时间状语,判断出本句应使用的时态;其次应熟练掌握各时态所表示的意义以及它们之间的用法区别.

18.The need to feed a growing population is putting much pressure on the world's supply of water.With 97% of the world's water too salty to be drunk or used in agriculture,the worldwide Supply of water needs careful management,especially in agriculture,Although the idea of a water shortage(短缺)seems strange to someone fortunate enough to live in a high rainfall country,many of the world's agricultural industries experience constant water shortages.
Although dams can be built to store water for agricultural use in dry areas and dry seasons,the costs of water redistribution(重新分配) are very high.Not only is there the co st of the engineering itself,but there is also an environmental cost to be considered.Where valleys(山谷) are flooded to create dams,houses are lost and wildlife homes destroyed.Besides,water may flow easily through pipes to fields,but it cannot be transported from one side of the world to the other.Each country must therefore rely on the management of its own water to supply its farming requirements.
This is particularly troubling for countries with agricultural industries in areas dependent on irrigation(灌溉).In Texas,farmers'overuse of irrigation water has resulted in a 25% reduction of the water stores,In the Central Valley area of southwes tern USA,a huge water engineering project provided water for farming in dry valleys,but much of the water use has been poorly managed.
Saudi Arabia's attempts to grow wheat in desert areas have seen the pumping of huge quantities of irrigation(灌溉) water from underground reserves.Because there is no rainfall in these areas,such reserves can only decrease,and it is believed that fifty years of pumping will see them run dry.

2.SOMA,Fukushima Dai-ichi-High levels of radiation leaked from a damaged nuclear plant in tsunami-stricken northeast after a third reactor was shaken by an explosion Tuesday and a fourth caught fire in a dramatic increase of the 4-day-old disaster.The government warned 140,000people nearby to stay indoors to avoid exposure.
In a nationally televised statement,Prime Minister Naoto Kan said radiation has spread from four reactors of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant in Fukushima state,one of the hardest-hit in Friday's 9.0-magnitude earthquake and the following tsunami that has killed more than 10,000people,put millions into misery and hit again the world's third-largest economy.
Officials just south of Fukushima reported up to 100times the normal levels of radiation Tuesday morning,Kyodo News agency reported.While those figures are worrying if there is prolonged exposure (迁延照射),they are far from deadly.
Kan and other officials warned there is danger of more leaks and told people living within 30kilometers of the Fukushima Dai-ichi groups of buildings to stay indoors to avoid exposure that could make people sick.
Weather forecasts for Fukushima were for snow and wind from the northeast Tuesday evening,blowing southwest toward Tokyo,then shifting and blowing west out to sea.That's important because it shows which direction a possible nuclear cloud might blow.
The nuclear crisis is the worst that the country has faced since the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II.It is also the first time that such a serious nuclear threat has been raised in the world since a nuclear power plant in Chernobyl,Ukraine exploded in 1986.
Some 70,000people had already been moved from a 20-kilometer radius from the Dai-ichi complex and about 140,000remain in the zone for which the new warning was issued.
Millions of people spent a fourth night with little food,water or heating in near-freezing temperatures as they dealt with the loss of homes and loved ones.Asia's richest country hasn't seen such hardship since World War II.

63.What does the passage mainly talk about?A
A.Radiation level increasing in the country.B.The nuclear plant in Fukushima.
C.The earthquake and tsunami in Fukushima.D.A nationally televised statement.
64.How did the disaster come about in Fukushima?B
①a 9.0-magnitude earthquake       ②a nuclear plant fire
③a deadly tsunami                ④high-level radiation
A.④①②③B.①③②④C.②①④③D.③①②④
65.What is the biggest threat to Fukushima?D
A.The 9.0-magnitude earthquake.B.The tsunami.
C.The nuclear plant fire.D.The nuclear radiation.
66.We can infer from the passage thatA.
A.radioactivity is being released directly into the atmosphere
B.it is the first time that such a serious nuclear threat has been raised in the world
C.People in the country have never faced any other nuclear crisis
D.The country will become a poor one in Asia.
1.Elizabeth Freeman was born about 1742 to African American parents who were slaves.At the age of six months she was acquired,along with her sister,by John Ashley,a wealthy Massachusetts slaveholders.She became known as"Mumbet"or"Mum Bett."
For nearly 30years Mumbet served the Ashley family.One day,Ashley's wife tried to strike Mumbet's sister with a spade.Mumbet protected her sister and took the blow instead.Furious,she left the house and refused to come back.When the Ashleys tried to make her return,Mumbet consulted a lawyer,Theodore Sedgewick.With his help,Mumbet sued(起诉) for her freedom.
While serving the Ashleys,Mumbet had listened to many discussions of the new Massachusetts constitution.If the constitution said that all people were free and equal,then she thought it should apply to her.Eventually,Mumbet won her freedom----the first slave in Massachusetts to do so under the new constitution.
Strangely enough,after the trial,the Ashleys asked Mumbet to come back and work for them as a paid employee.She declined and instead went to work for Segdewick.Mumbet died in 1829,but her legacy lived on in her many descendants(后裔).One of her great-grandchildren was W.E.B.Du Bois,one of the founder of the NAACP,and an important writer and spokesperson for African American civil rights.
Mumbet's tombstone still stands in the Massachusetts cemetery where she was buried.It reads,in part:"She was born a slave and remained a slave and remained a slave for nearly thirty years.She could neither read nor write,yet in her own sphere she had no superior or equal."
