题目内容

They _____ on the program for almost one week before I joined them and now we ____ on it as no good results have come out so far.

A. had been working ;are still working

B. had worked ;were still working

C. have been working ;have worked

D. have worked ;are still working

 

A

【解析】

试题分析:考查时态。第一空根据时间状语before I joined them,可知表示在过去某个时间之前一直进行的动作,用过去完成进行;第二空表是现在正在进行。句意:在我加入他们之前,他们一直为这项计划工作了几乎一周,我们现在还在继续进行因为现在到目前为止还没有出现好的结果。故A正确。

考点:考查时态

LONDON (Reuters)—Organic fruit, delivered right to the doorstep.That is what Gabriel Gold prefers, and he is willing to pay for it.If this is not possible, the 26-year-old computer technician will spend the extra money at the supermarket to buy organic food.

“Organic produce is always better,” Gold said.“The food is free of pesticides(农药), and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms.And more often than not it is locally grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty.” Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business.But how many shoppers really know what they are getting, and why are they willing to pay a higher price for organic produce? Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences—but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete.For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products.And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand.“The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market,” said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business.

1.More and more people in Britain are buying organic food because _____.

A.they are getting richer

B.they can get the food anywhere

C.they like home-grown fruit

D.they consider the food free of pollution

2.Which of the following statements is true to the facts about most organic produce sold in Britain?

A.It grows indoors all year round.

B.It is grown on family farms

C.It is produced outside Britain.

D.It is produced on large farms.

3.What is the meaning of “the organic trend” as the words are used in the text?

A.better quality of organic food.

B.growing interest in organic food.

C.rising market for organic food.

D.higher prices of organic food.

4.What is the best title for this news story?

A.The making of organic food in Britain.

B.Organic food—to import or not?

C.Good qualities of organic food.

D.Organic food—healthy, or just for the wealthy?

 

Look, this is the first plane in the world to be created using the new technology of “3D printing”. The airplane was built using only a computer-but it can fly at a speed of 100mph and has a two-meter wingspan.

It was produced using a special nylon laser printer that builds up something layer-by-layer. The parts were made separately and attached using a “snap fit”(搭扣) technique so the aircraft could be put together without tools in minutes.

No fasteners(扣件) at all were used in the manufacture of the plane. Unmanned and electrically powered, the plane can travel in near silence and is also equipped with a small autopilot system. The special production process used is known as “laser sintering(激光烧结) “and allows the designers to create shapes and structures that would normally include costly manufacturing techniques. This technology allows a highly-tailored aircraft to be developed from your own design to first flight in days, while using traditional materials and techniques would take months. And because no tooling is required for manufacture, major changes to the shape and scale of the aircraft can be made with no extra cost.

Professor Jim Scanlon, who led the team, said, “The process allows the design team to revisit historical techniques and ideas that would have been too expensive using traditional manufacturing.” He added, “This form of structure is very firm and lightweight, but very complex. If it was manufactured traditionally it would require a large number of individually tailored parts that would have to be connected or fastened at great expense.”

The new printed plane is known as the Southampton University Laser Sintered Aircraft-or SULSA for short-and is part of a wider project using cutting-edge manufacturing techniques. The University of Southampton has been at the leading position of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle development since the early 1990s.

1. What does the passage maily talk about?

A. New Designed Airplane with New Techniques.

B. Scientists Create Aircraft with High Speed.

C. Revolut ionary Breakthrough of 3D Printer.

D. The World’s first 3-D printed Airplane, SULSA.

2. How does the 3-D printed plane fly?

A. A pilot controls it using a remote control.

B. It should be controlled by “laser sintering”.

C. It should be controlled by an autopilot system.

D. A pilot with high techniques controlled it.

3. Which of the following is NOT advantage of the plane?

A. It only requires simple and cheap tools.

B. It is manufactured in quite a short time.

C. It produces little noise while flying.

D. It needn’t extra cost if changes are made.

4. Accoding to Professor Jim Scanlon, plane manufacturers can

with their techniques.

A. copy earlier planes to study their techniques

B. connect and fasten tailor parts for real planes

C. produce firmer and lighter real planes

D. find differences by studying the traditional ones

 

The ?109 Nest Protect Smoke Alarm promises Internet alerts(警报)and an end to the low battery chirp(短而尖的叫声). Besides, it uses a voice to tell you where the fire is.

The alarm is the first UK product from Nest, which is run by iPod-inventor Tony Fadell. The company claims the device’s batteries will last for up to seven years. The device will offer a spoken warning before it sounds a major alarm. Also it will use text messages and apps on your phones to alert users to low-level risks.

The present smoke alarms constantly alert users to non-existent threats, which will make many users annoyed and finally remove their batteries altogether. “We’ve all experienced the smoke alarm going off while we’re cooking. Sometimes, we need to search for the source of that non-stop low-battery chirp at midnight,” said Fadell. “Therefore, every time a smoke alarm cries wolf, we trust it a little less, and then — in a moment of frustration — we take the batteries out to stop the beep(嘟嘟声). And that leaves us and our families at risk.”

If the Protect smoke alarms are used, they can be set up in up to ten zones, so that the clear warnings tell users where the risk has been detected.

“Safety shouldn’t be annoying,” said Matt Rogers, Nest founder and vice president of engineering. “It was unacceptable to us that one in eight houses in the UK has a non-functioning smoke alarm. These products are required by law and are supposed to keep us safe, yet people hate them. We wanted to change that.”

1.For what purpose did Nest create the Protect Smoke Alarm?

A. To predict low-level fire risks.B. To experiment with a new battery.

C. To improve present smoke alarms.D. To avoid the low-battery chirp.

2.What did Tony Fadell really want to tell us in Paragraph 3?

A. One of his cooking experiences.

B. Disadvantages of present smoke alarms.

C. His growing distrust of smoke alarms.

D. His source of annoyance to crying wolf.

3.Which of the following are the advantages of the Protect Smoke Alarm?

a. Rechargeable batteries b. A talking smoke alarm

c. Longer battery life d. Going off constantly

e. Internet connection

A. a, b, cB. c, d, eC. a, c, eD. b, c, e

4.What can we know from the last paragraph?

A. In the UK people seldom set up smoke alarms.

B. Matt Rogers didn’t like the safety requirements.

C. Non-functioning smoke alarms make people annoyed.

D. The government should pay attention to safety issues.
