【题目】根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Some experts feel that cars are certain to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all cars will be deserted and made useless. 【1】 They hold that the car will remain a leading means of city travel in the foreseeable future.
The car will undoubtedly change greatly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more practical, and should not be powered by the gas engine. 【2】
Unless changes take place in the power system, the car in the future will still be the main problem in city traffic jams. 【3】
When the car enters the highway system, a small arm will drop from the car and connect with a rail, which is similar to hose(软管) powering subway trains electrically. Once joined to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system and control of the car will pass to a central computer. 【4】
The driver will use the telephone to dial instructions about his position and the place he heads for into the system. The computer will find the best way and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. ____【5】 It is believed that an automated highway will be able to deal with 10,000 cars per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 cars that can be carried by a present-day highway.
A. The driver will be free to relax and wait for the call that will warm him of his coming exit.
B. Other experts however think the car is here to stay.
C. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.
D. There will be plenty of policemen on the highway to control the traffic.
E. One suggested solution to this essential problem is the automated (自动的) system which seems to hold water.
F. The computer will then monitor all the car’s movements.
G. All of the experts don’t know what will happen in the future.
【答案】
【1】B
【2】C
【3】E
【4】F
【5】A
【解析】
试题分析:本文属于科普知识类,为大家预测了将来的汽车是什么样子,以及怎样操控它。36.【1】B首先根据文章开头的“Some experts...”可知与B项的“Other experts”构成some...others的结构;其次,根据后文说到“...remain a leading means of urban travel”可知,本句和前面说的“汽车消失”形成对比。;另外B项中的however起着转折的作用,说明专家们也有两种观点,故选B。
【2】C根据上句:It should become smaller, safer, and more practical, and should not be powered by the gas engine. 它应该变得更小,更安全,更实用并且不应该由燃气发动机驱动。可知下句的意思应该是:未来的汽车应该比现在的汽车更无污染。可知C项符合题意。
【3】E根据空前的“the main problem”及后文的“the automated (自动的) system”可知E项起到了承上启下的作用。
【4】F根据空前的“control of the car will pass to a central computer”可知选F项。
【5】A本段都是讲述电脑控制汽车是如何运行的,故选A项
【名师点拨】
1.根据上下文的语境来确定选项。一般在空格的上一句或下一句,也许是上、下句中会有暗示。38小题E根据空前的“the main problem”及后文的“the automated (自动的) system”可知E项起到了承上启下的作用。
2.根据常识解题。37小题C根据上句:It should become smaller, safer, and more practical, and should not be powered by the gas engine. 它应该变得更小,更安全,更实用并且不应该由燃气发动机驱动。可知下句的意思应该是:未来的汽车应该比现在的汽车更无污染。可知C项符合题意。根据常识可知“燃气发动机驱动”当然就会更无污染。

【题目】A dam is a man-made structure built across a river. Most dams are built to control a river’s water flow, improve navigation and control flooding. However, some dams are built to produce hydro-electric power.
Hydro-electric power is produced as water passes through a dam, and into a river below. The more water that passes through a dam, the more energy is produced. Once a dam is built, a man-made lake is created behind the dam.
Electricity is produced by a kind of equipment called a turbine(水轮机). Turbines contain metal coils(线圈) surrounded by magnets(磁铁). When the magnets move round rapidly over the metal coils, electricity is produced. Turbines are located inside dams. The falling water makes the magnets go around the coils.
Dams provide clean energy, but they can also harm the environment. Species that use rivers to reproduce are often hurt by dams. In the Northwest of the US, the population of fishes has dropped from 16 million to 2.5 million since hydro-electric plants were built on the Columbia River. Dams all over the world have hurt some species.
The highest dam in the Unites States is located near Oroville, California. The Oroville Dam towers 230 meters and is more than a mile wide. This dam was built in 1968, 22 years after the Hoover Dam. The Hoover Dam, on the Nevada-Arizona border controls the Colorado river. It is 221 meters high and has 2.6 million hectare-meters of water.
The highest dam in the world is the Nurek Dam on the Vakhsh River in Tadzikistan, a country in central Asia. This dam is 300 meters tall.
【1】Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Some dams are built for controlling a river’s water flow.
B. Hydro-electric power is usually produced through a dam.
C. Dams can offer energy and they are harmless to the environment.
D. Generally speaking, where there is a dam, there is a man-made lake.
【2】The third paragraph mainly tells us _____.
A. how hydro-electric power is produced
B. What a turbine is and how it works
C. how the magnets and the metal coils work
D. how the falling water passes through a turbine
【3】The dam which controls the Colorado river is ____.
A. the Oroville Dam B. the Hoover Dam
C. the Nurek Dam D. the Vakhsh Dam

【题目】I was desperately nervous about becoming car-free. But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: we’ll buy another. But the insurance payout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car—I worked out that, with the loan (贷款) we’d need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as 600 a month.
And that’s when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’ walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family.
But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (I wasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)
My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a necessity.
Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to” own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live—and many other citizens do too—in a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off asking something much more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.
【1】The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ______.
A. he was hurt in a terrible car accident
B. most families chose to go car-free
C. the traffic jam was unbearable for him
D. the cost of a new car was too much
【2】What is the attitude of the author’s family toward his plan?
A. Disapproving.B. Supportive.
C. Unconcerned.D. Optimistic.
【3】What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends’ opinion?
A. Take their advice.B. Argue against it.
C. Leave it alone.D. Think it over.
【4】What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?
A. Life without a car is a little bit hard.
B. Life cannot go without a car.
C. A car-free life does not suit everyone.
D. His life gets improved without a car.

It is suggested that extinct animals can possibly come back to life through cloning sometimes, but 【1】 (fortune), this is either impossible 【2】 unsuitable. The reasons are as follows:
【3】 is required is that you need perfect DNA and enough 【4】 (diverse) in the group to overcome illnesses, which means having animals with their genes 【5】 (arrange) in different ways. The advantage is 【6】 if there is a new illness some of these animals may die, but others will survive. A suitable habitat would 【7】 (need) for the extinct animals to lead a natural life, so it would be 【8】 (fair) to clone any of them if they were to live in a zoo.
【9】 (base) on the reasons above, we are a long way from being able to clone extinct animals, so the chance of dinosaurs ever returning to the earth is 【10】 (mere) a dream.
