题目内容

【题目】— Is this table free, waiter?

— I’m sorry, sir, these two tables have just been _______ by telephone, but that one over there is free.

A.reservedB.orderedC.appointedD.taken

【答案】A

【解析】

句意：——服务员，这张桌子有人吗?——对不起，先生，这两张桌子刚刚被电话预订了，但那边的那张桌子空着。

考查动词。reserved预定；ordered订；appointed任命；taken拿；根据“but that one over there is free”但那边的那张桌子空着，所以可以推断前一句是这两张桌子刚刚被电话预定了，book作动词预定的一般是票、房间；reserve预定的一般是桌子。故选A。

Imagine the situation. You are driving along a desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device(装置)which uses satellites(卫星)to find the user's position(位置). It can find your position to within 20 metres. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are.

GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.

There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates(计算)its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.

Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate(精确的). There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.

【1】GPS can help you find your position, can’t it?

【2】What does a GPS look like?

【3】How many things are mentioned that GPS devices can be put into?

【4】What is the use of ground stations?

【5】Why do some people think GPS devices will be popular in the future?

【6】What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?

【题目】Answer the questions （根据以下内容回答问题）

Some people are standing at a group of low hills in West Texas. Suddenly, they observe glowing reddish - orange lights. Are they the headlights of cars on the highway? Are they the lights of campfires? The people shout and point because the lights are moving! But they aren’t moving the way cars move. They shoot up in the air. They fall back to the earth. And then ... they simply disappear!

Every night, people go to observe the famous Marfa lights. The lights are named for the town of Marfa, Texas, where these lights can be seen in the distant hills east of the town. Over the years there have been many beliefs about these strange lights. One theory is that the lights are the headlights of cars driving down the road.

But that could not be true. Settlers in the 1880s wrote about the lights long before there were cars with headlights. At that time, pioneers thought the Marfa lights were the campfires of Apaches2 in the hills. When the pioneers would ride into the hills, they could find no evidence3 of campsites of fires. Later, the settlers learned that the Apaches, too, could see the lights. They thought the lights were stars that had come down the earth.

Some people say that the lights are moonlight shining on metal in the hills. Others say they are made by gases from swamps4. Some scientists have tried to prove that lights from planets or starts reflect5 in a strange way on the hills. That doesn’t help us understand why the lights “dance”. They move up and down, slow down and speed up. These dancing “stars”, the Marfa lights, stay a mystery.

【题目】 The fridge is considered necessary. It has been so since the 1960s when packaged food list appeared with the label: “Store in the refrigerator.”

In my fridge-less fifties childhood, I was fed well and healthy. The milkman came every day, the grocer, the butcher, the baker, and the ice-cream man delivered two or three times each week. The Sunday meat would last until Wednesday and surplus（剩余的）bread and milk became all kinds of cakes. Nothing was wasted, and we were never troubled by rotten food. Thirty years on food deliveries have ceased, fresh vegetables are almost unobtainable in the country.

The invention of the fridge contributed comparatively little to the art of food preservation. Many well-tried techniques already existed -- natural cooling, drying, smoking,salting, sugaring, bottling ...

What refrigeration did promote was marketing -- marketing hardware and electricity, marketing soft drinks, marketing dead bodies of animals around the world in search of a good price.

Consequently, most of the world’s fridges are to be found, not in the tropics where they might prove useful, but in the rich countries with mild temperatures where they are climatically almost unnecessary. Every winter, millions of fridges hum away continuously, and at vast expense, busily maintaining an artificially-cooled space inside an artificially-heated house -- while outside, nature provides the desired temperature free of charge.

The fridges’ effect upon the environment has been evident, while its contribution to human happiness has been insignificant. If you don’t believe me, try it yourself, invest in a food cabinet and turn off your fridge next winter. You may not eat the hamburgers, but at least you’ll get rid of that terrible hum.

【1】The statement “In my fridge-less fifties childhood, I was fed well and healthily.” suggests that ____.

A.the author was well-fed and healthy even without a fridge in his fifties

B.the author was not accustomed to fridges even in his fifties

C.there was no fridge in the author’s home in the 1950s

D.the fridge was in its early stage of development in the 1950s

【2】Why does the author say that nothing was wasted before the invention of fridges?

A.Because people would not buy more food than was necessary.

B.Because food was delivered to people two or three times a week.

C.Because food was sold fresh and did not get rotten easily.

D.Because people had effective ways to preserve their food.

【3】Who benefited the least from fridges according to the author?

A.Inventors.B.Consumers.C.Manufacturers.D.Travelling salesmen.

【4】Which of the following phrases in the fifth paragraph indicates the fridge’s negative effect on the environment?

A.“Hum away continuously”.B.“Climatically almost unnecessary”.

C.“Artificially - cooled space.”D.“With mild temperatures.”

【5】What is the author’s overall attitude toward fridges?

A.Neutral.B.Critical.C.Objective.D.Compromising.
