【题目】七选五

Each year there is an increasing number of cars on roads and streets as millions of new cars and trucks are produced. One out of every six Americans works at putting together the parts of cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling cars and trucks with gas. 【1】

Most Americans would find it hard to imagine what life would look like without cars. 2 . The polluted air becomes poisonous and dangerous to health.

3 . That’s what several of the large car factories have been trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.

Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else. 4 . Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man.

To prevent the world from being polluted by cars, we’ll have to make some changes in the way many of us live. Americans, for example, have to cut down on the number of their total cars. They are encouraged to travel and go to work by bicycle. Bicycling is thought to help the air clean. But this change does not come easily. A large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down. 5 .

Although cars have led us to a better life, they have also brought us new problems.

A.Inventors are now working on steam cars as well as electric cars

B. Americans know cars very well.

C. However, some have ralized the serious problems of the air pollution that is caused by cars.

D. One way to get rid of the polluted air is to build a car that does not pollute.

E. However, the number of vehicles has continued to increase in recent years.

F. Americans won’t live without cars!

G. Thus the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.

【答案】

【1】F

【2】C

【3】D

【4】A

【5】G

【解析】

试题分析:美国人的生活和汽车息息相关,但由汽车导致的大气污染问题也很严重。针对这一问题,本文讨论了一些解决方法例如生产使用清洁能源的汽车,或者以自行车代替汽车等。

【1】F 根据前文One out of every six Americans works at putting together the parts of cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling cars and trucks with gas可知美国人的生活与汽车息息相关,而F选项Americans wont live without cars!美国人离开了汽车简直活不下去正是对这一现象的一个总结,也与下文Most Americans would find it hard to imagine what life would look like without cars相关联。故选F。

【2】C 分析语境可知此处前文说明大多数美国人对汽车的依赖,而后文The polluted air becomes poisonous and dangerous to health提到的是大气污染。浏览选项发现C选项However, some have realized the serious problems of the air pollution that is caused by cars在语境上起到了承上启下的作用。而且C选项中some和前文中的most Americans形成对比,however不仅表示了两者的对比,还转换了话题。故选C。

【3】D 分析后文Thats what several of the large car factories have been trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done可知大的汽车工厂一直在努力做的是使用生产清洁无污染能源的汽车。由此推知that指代的内容是build a clean car。浏览选项发现D选项One way to get rid of the polluted air is to build a car that does not pollute中的build a car that does not pollute与之对应,符合语境。而且D选项One way to get rid of the polluted air is to build a car that does not pollute中的one way与第四段的段首Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else中的another way对应。故选D。

【4】A 根据前文Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else可知解决汽车污染大气问题的另一个解决方法是用别的东西代替汽车能源。而A选项Inventors are now working on steam cars as well as electric cars中steam cars 、electric cars都属于清洁无污染能源的汽车,符合前文语境。故选A。

【5】G 分析前文But this change does not come easily. A large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down可知美国鼓励人们放弃汽车,以自行车代步的可行性不大。因为如果一个汽车工厂倒闭,将会有许多工人失业。浏览选项发现G选项 Thus the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment中将环境污染问题the problem of air pollution与工人失业问题the problem of unemployment进行比较,符合语境。故选G。

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

When I was having a walk through the park today, I met a friend I hadn’t seen for ages. She stared at me curiously. “You have kept this umbrella for years; it's old and out of date. I wonder why you keep it and take it wherever you go.” I smiled, “it means a great deal to me.” I simply gave her my shortest answer. Honestly speaking, I, either, could not understand the reason why I kept it.

Then all of a sudden, fallen leaves darkened my eyes with a strong wind. I grabbed the umbrella instinctively. The rain poured down. Thanks to my umbrella, I didn’t get wet at all.

“Why have I kept it for so long?” I asked myself, staring at my umbrella. I couldn’t remember when and where I bought it, for I’m always tired and lazy to answer questions. It could protect me from the heavy rain, I told myself eventually. Looking at the people rushing through the street, I felt safe. This might be another reason.

It is always so. We know a thunderstorm comes unexpectedly and goes without a warning. The sky cleared up. The sun shone brightly. Just as usual, I seized the umbrella with my left hand. Still there’s water dropping down. I walked among the noisy crowd and listened to what they were murmuring in their heart. “Today I will ask for a rise, or I'll leave this company.” Good luck to you, I smiled to him. “I’ll manage to make you live forever.” A little boy held a pet dog close to him. “She’ll be all right, because she is blessed.” I heard angels singing in this city.

The moment my fingertips touched the umbrella, I felt it’s dry, and it’s warm. Soon it became hot. I held it up to avoid harmful sunshine. Do I need a reason to explain why? Maybe I should think about it. I need my umbrella when it is sunny as well as when it is rainy.

【1】Which of the following words best describes the author?

A. Watchful. B. Hard-working. C. Clever D. Strange

【2】 From the author's feelings with people among the noisy crowd, we can see that _____.

A. he is sensible enough to understand others’ murmur

B. he is sorry for people who can’t foresee their difficulties

C. he is warm-hearted even to care for unfamiliar people

D. he is kind enough to hope everyone will plan their life well

【3】What’s the most suitable title for the passage?

A. Try to notice every passer-by.

B. Umbrellas are important.

C. Always be prepared.

D. Weather changes unexpectedly.

【题目】Man still has a lot to learn about the most powerful and complex part of his body — the brain.

It may be surprising to learn that it isn’t age that makes you lose your memory. The reason could be that you have a "lazy" memory, not an old one. Like your body your memory improves with exercise. Once given plenty of exercise, the brain keeps its power. Before discussing how to improve the memory, let’s look at how the brain works. There are two sides to the brain, the left and the right. The right side deals with the senses (what we see, hear, feel and smell). It's the creative and imaginative side. The left side is concerned with logic. It analyzes information and puts it in order.

Some recent research suggests that we remember everything that happens to us. The problem most of us has is recalling events. Most forgetting takes place immediately after learning. An hour after learning something new, more than 50% has been forgotten. After a month, 80% has been forgotten, and so on.

This shows revision is very important. If you revise new material you have learnt, you remember much more. So it's of vital importance to revise newly learned material often, and have frequent breaks. We best remember what we learn at the beginning of a learning period and at the point where we stop. After the break, revise what was learned before the break and then continue learning the new material. These breaks should happen every 20 or 45 minutes.

Other experiments have shown the brain needs time to "digest" what has been learned. The time necessary for this is 5 to 10 minutes. After the break, the memory will have absorbed what it has just learned, and more will be remembered. During this period it is important to exercise the right side of the brain, because the left side is used during the learning period. Therefore you should relax. Listening to music, breathing in fresh air, and looking at a picture are all ways of using the other side of the brain. So when you are studying alone, make a plan which shows when to have breaks and to revise newly learned material immediately before you begin studying again. If you do in this way, your memory will improve.

【1】According to the text, you lose your memory by ________.

A. getting too old B. hardly using your brain

C. working too hard D. using your brain too much

【2】To fight forgetting effectively, we're advised to ________.

A. go back to what was learned regularly

B. break down materials into small pieces

C. focus on both ends of a learning period

D. take breaks to give the brain a good rest

【3】 During the learning process the brain need breaks to ________.

A. use the right side of the brain

B. revise newly learnt materials

C. take in what has been learnt

D. relax the left side of the brain

【4】Where is this text most probably taken from?

A. Science fictions. B. Students’ literature.

C. An advertisement. D. A science report.
