阅读下面的短文,并根据要求回答后面的问题。(注意字数要求)
[1] If you are applying for an American higher education, you probably dream of getting into an Ivy League (常青藤联盟) university.The eight schools with the best reputations attract top students from the United States and many other countries. However, on average, the Ivy League schools accept less than 15 percent of applicants.And with the applicants growing in size year on year, it is becoming more and more difficult _________.
[2] So how can you give yourself the best chance of admission?
[3]Having a high school grade point average (GPA) in the top 10 percent of your class and being ranked among the top few students dramatically betters your chances.But although GPA and SAT scores are important, they only tell admission deans(主任) part of the story.
[4] The whole admissions process will single out (挑选出) from a large pool of academically strong applicants the unique individuals.They stand out because they have shown in their interviews a range of virtues (优点) expected of these universities.Take Harvard for example.Although there is no guarantee of admission, the school judges applicants based on 15 additional criteria.
[5] Intellectual curiosity (求知欲) comes first tor almost all admission deans.Schools look to such students because they believe their peers find them slimulaling(激励人的)inside and outside the classroom.
[6] Leadership also weighs heavily.The school would rather see an applicant who takes on additional responsibility in one or two areas where he or she is good at, rather than one who is merely "very good" academically.This can mean the class presidencv(主席职务), leading the cheerleading team or being the officer of a student union.
[7] Whether a person has personal warmth and cares about others counts a lot with the admission deans.Writing an essay on a personal experience, like a summer spent raising funds for the earthquake victims or teaching in a local school, can show that a person has qualities in addition to academic experience.

第二部分:阅读理解(共25小题。第一节每小题2分,第二节每小题1分;满分45分)
第一节 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A gadget which makes water out of air could become the greatest household invention since the microwave.
Using the same technology as a dehumidifier(除湿器),the Water Mill is able to create a ready supply of drinking water because it can always get it from an unlimited source—the air.
The company behind the machine says not only does it offer an alternative to bottled water in
developed countries, but it is a solution for the millions who face a daily water shortage.
The machine works by drawing in wet air through a filter(过滤器)and over a cooling instrument which changes it into water droplets.It can produce up to 1 2 liters a day.The Water Mill will also produce more water when storms pass over, as the amount of water which is contained in the air increases.In keeping with its eco-development, the machine uses the same amount of electricity as three lights.
Inventor Jonathan Ritchey said: “The demand for water is off the chart.So people are looking for freedom from water distribution systems that are shaky and unreliable.”
The machine, which is about 3 feet wide, is likely to cost £800 when it goes on sale here in the spring.Its maker, Canadian Firm Element Four, roughly calculates that a liter of water cost around 20p to produce.
Environmentalists state that half the world’s population will face water shortage because of climate change by 2080.One in five is said to lack access to safe drinking.
The Water Mill is not effective in areas where the amount of water contained in the air is below about 30 percent, but in Britain that won’t be much of a problem.
41.What does the underlined word “it” refer do?
A.Drinking water. B.Invention. C.Microwave. D.Water Mill.
42.What do we learn about the machine?
A.It works in the same way as microwaves.
B.It is very expensive for families to afford.
C.It absorbs steam and turns it into water.
D.It helps to make the water clean to drink.
43.What does the passage lead us to believe?
A.The cost of water will go up. B.Bottled water will disappear sooner.
C.The machine is energy saving. D.The machine will be popular worldwide.
44.What’s the best title for the passage?
A.A New Way to Solve Water Problem. B.A Machine to Make Water out of Air.
C.A Dehumidifier to Produce Water. D.An Absolutely New Invention

科目:高中英语 来源:2011-2012学年安徽省高三第三次模拟考试英语试卷(解析版) 题型:阅读理解
A farm planted levels or floors is called a vertical(垂直的)farm. A skyscraper type building can house a vertical farm. Since the garden is built upwards,rather than outwards,it requires much less space than a conventional farm.
The world is quickly running out of room for conventional farming. Vertical farms could be a key to this situation. An 18story vertical farm could feed as many as 50,000 people,all in an area which is the size of the average city block. Vertical farms in the city could cut down on transportation costs as well. Think about the amount of fuel it takes to transport food from farmland to city. The resources saved would be surprising. Besides saving travel time,food would be delivered in fresher condition and with less damage.
There is a growing concern about the use of pesticides(杀虫剂) in agriculture today. But the vertical farm would be a greenhouse type environment, avoiding the need for a large number of pesticides. Vertical farms can be built in a contained space,therefore they are an excellent solution for living well in an environment far different from our own. Hydroponics(水耕法) could be a big part of vertical gardening. This would reduce the amount of soil needed to grow food. Of course,not all food does well with this type of planting,but there are many crops that actually seem to do better.
In some climates,a lack of sunlight creates a short growing season. The solar power option may not work as well here. The addition of grow lights would make it possible to grow crops in vertical gardens in these areas .In other words,we could grow crops in areas where we never could before.
Vertical farms may just be a concept for now,but they are a concept that will solve many of our problems in the future.
1.According to the passage, a vertical farm________.
A.is mainly built outwards |
B.is dependent on solar power |
C.is planted on levels upwards |
D.is only an environmental friendly farm |
2.Compared to the conventional farm, the vertical farm can________.
A.depend far less on sunlight |
B.greatly increase the use of soil |
C.help to protect the limited gardens |
D.reduce the use of harmful pesticides |
3.It can be learned from the passage that vertical farms________.
A.have been put into use |
B.only use hydroponics to grow food |
C.need less room than conventional farms |
D.may increase the transportation costs |
4.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Vertical farms for our future |
B.Ways to deal with future problems |
C.Vertical farms and green skyscrapers |
D.Making Full Use of Our Limited Land |
