题目内容

Next came a horse, swimming bravely, but we were afraid that the ________ of the current(水流)would prevent its landing anywhere before it became exhausted(耗尽的,疲惫的).


  1. A.
    power
  2. B.
    force
  3. C.
    strength
  4. D.
    energy
C
本题考查近义名词辨析。本题题意为“接着过来一匹马,勇敢地游着,但是我们担心水流的力量使它上不了岸便筋疲力尽了”。选项A中的power是指“能力”“权力”,着重“行动所根据的能力或职权”,如:the power of law法律的威力,electric power电力。原题中指水流的“强度”,故选项A应排除。选项B中的force是强调“力所产生的实际效果”,有时含“武力”“强制力”的意思。故选项B不妥。选项D中的energy是“能量”,即“人”或“动物”的strength的来源——吸收食物所产生的energy;用于人时,则指“精力”,与水流的“强度”无关。故选项D亦应排除。选项C中的strength多指人的“体力”,即常说的“劲”,本题是指水流的“强度”,即水流的“劲头”大到某种程度的意思。

There were a lot of hardships when growing up, but there were a lot of fond memories as well.
Back in those days, we had very little money, so we couldn’t afford a garden tractor that could make gardening easier. All the preparations has to be done by hand with hoes(锄头),shovels and Daddy’s trusty plow(犁).
Part of my job in the garden was planting the seeds. I would sow the seeds and Daddy would come behind me with the plow and cover them. I liked to walk behind Daddy when he was planting. Every step he took left an impression. I would try to make my short legs match his stride(大步)and put my tiny feet in his footprints.
One of my gardening tasks was finding worms. We didn’t use a lot of pesticides so we often had worms. Some worms were harder to find because sometimes they would get on the bottom side of the leaves and have a similar color to that of the plant. I had to look very closely for them.
Next came the harvest. That was my mum’s busiest time. There were tomatoes, peas, corn and beans that all had to be washed and “put up” for the winter.
We would sit out in the yard late in the evening when air was cooler until midnight. I would sit and attentively listen to my mum and daddy to tell stories about their past. I loved those times because they created the most precious memories of all for me.
We may not have had too many material possessions, but we had a lot of love. I think our working together as a family to put food on the table helped to strengthen out ties to each other and kept us close.
56. What did the author like to do as a child in the garden?
A. Put up tomatoes, peas, corn and beans for the winter.
B. Follow his father’s footsteps.
C. Plow and cover the seeds.
D. Listen to his parents to tell stories.
57.The underlined word “Pesticides” (in Paragraph 4) most probably means “things that _______”.
A. can make plants grow more quickly    
B. can affect the growth of plants
C. kill worms                        
D. benefit worms
58. What does the author think of his childhood?
A. Poor and miserable.                                        B. Rich and fruitful.

Scientists used to explore on the surface of the ocean. Now they are exploring below the surface, too. They want to know about ocean water and the plant and animal life deep in the ocean.
In 1934 the scientist William Beebe dived 3,000 feet below the surface in a hollow steel ball. In 1935 August Piccard dived 10, 330 feet. In 1960 his son Jean dived to a depth of 35,800 feet.
All these early dives were deep. But the divers could not stay down for very long. They had to come back up to the surface after a few seconds. Scientists needed to stay down longer to study life below the surface. Gradually they succeeded. Cousteau, a Frenchman, was able to keep men down to a depth of 36 feet for one month and to a depth of 90 feet for a week.
Now scientists are developing even better equipment. With this new equipment, men can stay below the surface for days or even weeks. In 1962 Cousteau set up a research station 35 feet below the surface. Then in 1964 he set up another station on the ocean floor of the Red Sea. This was the first undersea station to operate without help from the surface.
Many countries are now studying undersea living things. The former Soviet Union had an undersea laboratory in the Crimean Sea. The United States has a laboratory 50 feet down on the ocean floor off the Virgin Islands. In 1970 five men lived there for two weeks. Then a team of five women scientists stayed in the laboratory. Next came other teams of men. All were there to explore the ocean depths and to make plans for the use of its resources. Scientists hope to find enough mineral, vegetable, and animal wealth there to provide food for the entire world.
64. In order to _____, scientists are exploring below the surface of the ocean.
A. know about the ocean water deep in the ocean
B. know about the plant and animal life deep in the ocean
C. stay down longer to study life of the plant and animal below the surface
D. both A and B
65. Who set up the first undersea station?
A. A Frenchman                         B. An American
C. A Russian                              D. The passage made no mention
66. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Nobody can stay below the surface of the ocean.
B. The early divers could not stay below the surface of the ocean for very long.
C. The purpose of setting up the undersea laboratories is to make plans for the use of the resources in the ocean.
D. Up to now only five women scientists have stayed in the undersea laboratory.

 

         The kids at Shute Country Primary School in Devon are surprisingly quiet when it’s time to go home in the afternoon, instead of the usual shouting and running you can hear them asking each other, “ Are the lights all off?”, “Shall we check the taps in case they are dripping (滴水)?”, “How many paper towels did we use today?”

    But it’s not unusual here.The kids have declared a war on waste.

    “We’ve never made the children do anything,” explains Liz Templar, the school’s head teacher, “they came up with all ideas themselves.They’re doing this because they want to.”

         If you take a look around the school you won’t see anything thrown away unnecessarily.Everything is collected and reused, or sent to be recycled.

    Shute School started its green_revolution_two years ago.They looked carefully at every party of school life-from the teaching to the cleaning.They looked at the way stationery(文具) was used-especially photocopying, the way cleaning was carried out, and how food was used and wasted!

    Even parents were looked at: how many children came in each car? Did they use unleaded petrol? Could they bring more children in fewer cars?

    High on the list was the waste of paper.Next came unfriendly cleaning products.Paper towels were replaced with recycled paper.But the hardest thing for the kids was when they found out how much rubbish was created by the chocolate, crisps and other snacks(小吃) eaten at lunch time.Of their own accord(自愿地), the children gave them up.Now they bring apples and home-made snacks.

    The school has its own garden where they grow vegetables and flowers so that they can learn about the environment.They also use this area for their recycling store-large containers to collect aluminum, bottles, plate and fabric(织物).

    Even the school’s play area is made from recycled things.

    Since the children started, the school’s heating and lighting bills have fallen obviously and the number of rubbish bags has gone down from seven a week to two or three.

    Everywhere in Shute School there are bright posters asking everyone to take their rubbish home, to save energy and paper and to keep the green flag flying.

1.Which of the following best describes the writer’s idea?

     A.The pupils at Shute School are fighting against pollution.

     B.The pupils at Shute School are learning to save things.

     C.The pupils at Shute School have declared a war on waste.

     D.The pupils at Shute School have found a way to recycle waste things.

2.We can infer from the text that “green revolution” means _______.

     A.beautifying schoolyard      B.activity against waste

     C.planting green plants         D.throwing away waste

3.What do the children think creates the most waste?

     A.Paper towels. B.Cleaning products.     

         C.Snacks.       D.Paper.

4.We learn from the text that the children’s behavior ____________.

     A.has brought arguments   

         B.has saved the school’s cost

     C.was against by their parents   

         D.was forced by their head teacher
