1.A Swiss airplane powered only by energy from the sun left from Abu Dhabi early on March 9,2015.Its creators hope the plane will make the first around-the-world journey without any fuel(燃料).The plane is called Solar Impulse 2.It has one seat and is made from carbon fiber.The plane weighs only as much as a car but its wings are wider than a Boeing 747.The plane's wings stretch 72meters across.Those wings include 17,000solar units (太阳能板) that collect the sun's energy.The energy allows the plane to fly day and night.
Two Swiss scientists built the plane.One is Bertrand Piccard,also an explorer,who made the first non-stop flight around the world in a balloon.The other is Andre Borschberg who is an engineer and trained fighter pilot.In their opinion,they are not trying to change the airplane industry.Instead,they want to show that new energy sources and technologies can make what is impossible possible."We want to show we can fly day and night in a plane without a drop of fuel.''Mr.Piccard said.
Some parts of the trip will require the pilots to be in the small plane for five to six days and nights on end.So it is good that the pilot's seat is also a toilet.
The plane begins its tour in the United Arab Emirates.The pilots also plan stops in Oman,India,and China.They will cross the Pacific Ocean,stop in the United States,and continue over southern Europe or North Africa.They plan to arrive back in the United Arab Emirates in late July or early August.Internet viewers can go to the Solar Impulse website to see the plane's location and listen to broadcasts from the pilots.
25.What do we know about the plane"Solar Impulse 2"?A.
A.It can be powered from the sunlight.B.It looks like a car with long wings.
C.It can collect energy day and night.D.It can fly without any energy.
26.The two scientists build the solar powered plane toD.
A.fly around the world for the first time
B.change the airplane industry on purpose
C.train the pilot to try the solar powered plane
D.test the new energy and technologies on plane
27.The phrase in paragraph 4"on end"is similar toC in meaning.
A.frequently
B.occasionally
C.continuously
D.regularly
28.Which of the following is Not right according to the passage?D.
A.The plane will complete the world tour in 4-5months.
B.The plane can be tracked on the Solar Impulse website.
C.The pilot aboard will broadcast to the Internet viewers.
D.The flight tour begins from east to west around the world.
分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了科学家们讲新能源科技运用到飞机上制造太阳能飞机的实验.
解答 25.A.细节理解题.根据第二段Those wings include 17,000solar units (太阳能板) that collect the sun's energy.The energy allows the plane to fly day and night可知"太阳脉冲2"可以从太阳光中收集能量提供动力;故选A.
26.D.细节理解题.根据第三段We want to show we can fly day and night in a plane without a drop of fuel可知两位科学家建造太阳能飞机为了测试在飞机中的新能源技术;故选D.
27.C.词义猜测题.根据第四段Some parts of the trip will require the pilots to be in the small plane for five to six days and nights on end.这次旅行的某些部分将要求飞行员在小飞机上停留五到六天三夜,可知意为持续不断地;故选C.
28.D.细节理解题.根据最后一段They will cross the Pacific Ocean,stop in the United States,and continue over southern Europe or North Africa可知这不是一次从东方到西方的旅行;故选D.
点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.
One day,my mother was sewing(缝) a quilt(棉被).I silently sat down beside her and asked her a question in a very low(36)A,"Mon,is there love between you and Dad?"
My mother stopped her work and raised her(37)A with surprise in her eyes.She didn't answer directly,but I heard my mother say the(38)B words:
"Susan,"she said thoughtfully,"look at this(39)B.Sometimes it appears,but most of it (40)C in the quilt.The thread (线) really makes the quilt strong and durable(耐用的).If life is a quilt,then love should be a thread.It can (41)D be seen anywhere or anytime,but it's(42)D there."
I listened carefully but I couldn't (43)C her until the next spring.At that time,my father suddenly got sick seriously.The doctor had said my father would (44)C in two months.But after two months he still couldn't walk by himself.Every day in the morning and dusk,my mother(45)B my father walk slowly on the country road.
"Dad,how are you feeling now?"I asked him one day.
"Susan,don't worry about me."He said gently."To tell you the truth,I just like (46)D with your mom.I like this kind of life."Reading his eyes,I knew he loved my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant(47)A,gifts and sweet kisses.But from this experience,I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life.Love is inside,making life strong and warm.
