2.Imagine,one day,getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in only a couple of hours,and then,after a full day of work,going back home to Beijing and having dinner there.
    Sounds unusual,doesn't it?But it's not that unrealistic,with the development of China's high-speed railway system.And that's not a11.China has an even greater high-speed railway plan-to connect the country with Southeast Asia,and eventually Eastern Europe.
    China is negotiating to extend its own high-speed railway network to up to 17countries in 10 to 15 years,eventually reaching London and Singapore.
    China has proposed three such projects.The first would possibly connect Kunming withSingapore via Vietnam and Malaysia.Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan,and possibly to Germany.The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe.
    If China's plan for the high-speed railway goes forward,people could zip over from London to Beiling in under two days.
    The new system would still follow China's high-speed railway standard.And the trains would be able to go 346kilometers an hour,almost as fast as some airplanes.
China's bullet train(高速客车),the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou,already has the
    World's fastest average speed.It covers 1,069kilometers in about three hours.
Of course,there are some technical challenges to overcome.There are so many issues that need to be settled,such as safety,rail gauge(轨距),maintenance of railway tracks.So,it's important to pay attention to every detail.
    But the key issue is really money.China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on domestic railway expansion.
    China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rather than with capital investment.Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain development.
    It'11 be a win-win project.For other countries,the railway network will definitely create more opportunities for business,tourism and so on,not to mention the better communication among those countnes.
    For China,such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources,but would also help develop China's far west.We foresee that in the coming decades,millions of people will migrate to the western regions,where the land is empty and resources unused.With high-speed trains,people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for a11.And they'11 trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries.

67.China's new high-speed railway plan will be a win-win project becauseB.
A.China will get much-needed resources and develop its western regions
B.China and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various ways
C.China will develop its railway system and communication with other countries
D.the foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation,business and tourism
68.According to the passage,the greatest challenge to the new high-speed railway plan isC.
A.technical issues    B.safety of the system
C.financial problems  D.maintenance of railway tracks
69.Which of the following words best describes the author's attitude towards China's high-speed railway plan?D
A.Critical.    B.Reserved.    C.Doubtful     D.Positive.
70.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?B
A.New Railway Standards    B.Big Railway Dreams
C.High-speed Bullet Trains D.International Railway Network.

分析 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了中国高铁的前景.中国正在扩大自己的高速铁路网络,在10到15年的时间里到17个国家,最终到达伦敦和新加坡.中国已经提出了三个高铁的项目,第一个可能是通过越南和马来西亚连接昆明和新加坡,另一个可能开始在乌鲁木齐,通过哈萨克斯坦和乌兹别克斯坦,并可能到德国,第三将在东北开始,向北走,通过俄罗斯,然后进入西欧.中国新的高速铁路计划将是一个双赢的项目,因为中国和有关的国家都可以从中获益,但是面临的最大挑战是资金问题.

解答 67.B 细节理解题.根据文章倒数第二段For other countries,the railway network will definitely create more opportunities for business,tourism and so on,not to mention the better communication among those countries.可知,中国新的高速铁路计划将是一个双赢的项目,因为中国和有关的国家都可以从中获益,故B项正确.
68.C 细节理解题.根据文章倒数第四段But the key issue is really money.China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on domestic railway expansion.可知,新的高速铁路计划面临的最大挑战是资金问题,故C项正确.
69.D 推理判断题.根据文章最后三行We foresee that in the coming decades,millions of people will migrate to the western regions,where the land is empty and resources unused.With high-speed trains,people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for a11.And they'11 trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries.可知,作者认为高铁将会给中国带来很多的好处,所以他对高铁的前景是很乐观的,故D项正确.
70.B 主旨大意题.文章讲述的是中国正在大力发展的高铁网络,以及高铁给中国以及相关国家带来的好处,故B项正确.

1.Usually,when your teacher asks a question,there is only one correct answer.But there is one question that has millions of current answers.That question is"What's your name?"Everyone gives a different answer,but everyone is correct.
    Have you ever wondered about people's names?Where do they come from?What do they mean?
    People's first names,or given names,are chosen by their parents.Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used.Some parents choose the name of a well-known person.A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.
    Some people give their children names that mean good things.Clara means"bright"; Beatrice means"one who gives happiness"; Donald means"world ruler"; Leonard means"as brave as a lion".
   The earliest last names,or surnames,were taken from place names.A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook(小溪);someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long,paved road.The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.
    Other early surnames came from people's occupations.The most common occupational name is Smith,which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals.In the past,smiths were very important workers in every town and village.Some other occupational names are:Carter-a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter-a person who made pots and pans.
   The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village.The Carpenter's great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.
Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin,or their size,or their special abilities.When there were two men who were named John in the same village,the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray.Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman.John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.
    Some family names were made by adding something to the father's name.English-speaking people added-s or-son.The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family's ancestor was Robert.Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O.Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O'Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.

56.Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover?B
A.Places where people lived.B.People's characters.
C.Talents that people possessed.D.People's occupations.
57.According to the passage,the ancestors of the Potter family most probablyC.
A.owned or drove a cart          B.made things with metals
C.made kitchen tools or contains   D.built houses and furniture
58.Suppose and English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born son to become a world leader,the baby might be namedD.
A.Beatrice Smith          B.Leonard Carter
C.George Longstreet       D.Donald Greenwood

1.Chicago
Chicago is an incredible city and a key business center for the Midwest.That means that sooner or later most business travelers (25)will find(find) themselves there.This City Guide for Chicago provides business travelers with all the information they need (26)toplan(plan) a successful trip to Chicago.Of course,it also help you find out how to enjoy (27)yourself/yourselves while you're there.
Unless you're just in Chicago for the day,there's a good chance that you'll have some time after work to explore the sleepless city and (28)that you're ready to take a break from business meetings or simply want to throw in some sightseeing after a busy week at work.(29)In order to help business travelers plan their free time better,we've created this overview of things to do in Chicago.We'll help you feel at home in one of America's biggest cities.
If you're mainly going to be downtown,the buses and trains and taxis can pretty quickly move you around.To make it easy,we've pulled together a complete list of the transportation options for business travelers to Chicago.Of course,business travelers (30)may also want to compare prices on rental cars in Chicago,especially if they need transportation to the surrounding suburbs.
Chicago has a huge range of dining options.You can always get some real comfort food there,but when it comes to business lunches or dinners,it's nice to have something a little (31)nicer(nice).
Chicago is a wonderful city for business travelers.Hotel options range from ultra-fancy in town to cheap and convenient in the suburbs.While it's relatively easy to move around Chicago,it's still a good idea for business travelers to know (32)where they need to be during the day and to select a hotel nearby.Alternatively,you can select a hotel that's in the heart of the downtown area.
7.Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems.While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful,problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves.University of Missouri(MU) researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller,lighter and more efficient.
"To provide enough power,we need certain methods with energy density(密度),"said Jae kwon,assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU."The radioisotope(放射性同位素) battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries."
  Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery,resently the size and thickness of a penny,intended to power various micro/nanoelectromechanical systems(M/NEWS).Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns,Kwon said they are safe.
"People hear the word‘nuclear'and think of something very dangerous,"he said."However,nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices,such as pace-makers,space satellites and underwater systems."
  His new idea is not only in the battery's size,but also in its semiconductor(半导体).Kwon's battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.
"The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy,part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure(晶格结构) of the solid semiconductor,"Kwon said."By using a liquid semiconductor,we believe we can minimize that problem."
  Together with J.David Robertson,chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor,Kwon is working to build and test the battery.In the future,they hope to increase the battery's power,shrink its size and try with various other materials.Kwon said that the battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.

71.Which of the following is true of Jae Kwon?C
A.He teaches chemistry at MU.
B.He developed a chemical battery.
C.He is working on a nuclear energy source.
D.He made a breakthrough in computer engineering.
72.Jae Kwon gave examples in Paragraph 4B.
A.to show chemical batteries are widely applied
B.to indicate nuclear batteries can be safely used
C.to describe a nuclear-powered system
D.to introduce various energy sources.
73.Liquid semiconductor is used toD.
A.get rid of the radioactive waste
B.test the power of nuclear batteries
C.decrease the size of nuclear batteries
D.reduce the damage to lattice structure
74.According to Jae Kwon,his nuclear batteryC.
A.uses a solid semiconductor
B.will soon replace the present ones
C.could be extremely thin
D.has passed the final test
75.The text is most probably aA
A.science news report
B.book review
C.newspaper ad
D.science fiction story.
2.1.Why do airplanes take longer to fly west than east?
It can take five hours to go west-east from New York (NY) to London but seven hours to travel east-west from London to NY.The reason for the difference is an atmospheric phenomenon known as the jet(喷射)stream.The jet stream is a very high altitude wind which always blows from the west to the east across the Atlantic.The planes moving at a constant air speed thus go faster in the west-east direction when they are moving with the wind than in the opposite direction.
2.What would happen if the gravity on Earth was suddenly turned off?
Supposing we could magically turn off gravity.Would buildings and other structures(建筑物)float away?What happened would depend on how strongly the things were attached to the Earth.The Earth is moving at quite a speed,moving at over a thousand miles per hour.If you turn something around your head on a string(细绳),it goes around in a circle until you let go of the string.Then it flies off in a straight line.‘Switching off'gravity would be like letting go of the string.Things not attached to the Earth would fly off in a straight line.People in buildings would suddenly shootupwards at a great speed until they hit the ceiling.Most things outside would fly off into space.

60.What information can we get from the first passage?A
A.It is the jet stream that affects how fast airplanes fly.
B.Planes go slower when they are moving with the wind.
C.It takes more time to fly from NY to London than from London to NY.
D.The jet stream always blows from the east to the west across the Atlantic.
61.The word"shoot"underlined in the 2nd passage probably means"B".
A.send for                                         
B.move quickly
C.come out                                        
D.grow quickly
62.It can be inferred that without gravityB.
A.buildings and other structures would float away
B.trees and buildings would not so easily fly off
C.something around your head would not float away
D.everything outside buildings would fly off into space
63.Where can we most probably read this text?D
A.In a research paper.
B.In a short story.
C.In a travel magazine.
D.In a student's book.
