【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。
Many people talk about how reading books can expand your knowledge and improve your life. __【1】__ Reading books is indeed good. But there is one aspect of it that many people tend to forget: the value of rereading books.
In fact, I’d argue that rereading books is just as important as reading new ones.Here are some reasons why rereading books is good:
1. __【2】__
Research shows that in just 24 hours people would forget most of what they’ve read. You might get a lot of good ideas from a book, but it’s easy to forget most of them. Rereading a book helps you refresh those ideas in your mind.
2. _【3】__
Just as it’s easy to forget ideas, it’s also easy to have some ideas skip your attention when you first read a book. Rereading the book helps you notice them.
3. It gives you a new perspective.
__【4】__ The ideas that didn’t make sense before could now make sense. The things that didn’t matter before could now be connected to your experience.
4. It helps you apply the ideas.
In my opinion, the primary value of reading is the application and not the reading itself. Reading alone could expand your knowledge but application could change your life. By rereading a book, you can see which parts of it you have applied and which parts haven’t. __【5】_
A. It helps you refresh yourself.
B. It reminds you of the good ideas.
C. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course.
D. Rereading a book allows you to see it with fresh eyes.
E. It helps you notice the ideas that you didn’t notice before.
F. You can then focus your effort on the parts that need more work.
G. Later, when you’ve applied them, you can find reading all kinds of materials really works.
【答案】
【1】C
【2】B
【3】E
【4】D
【5】F

【题目】Imagine being given the opportunity to wake up to lions, eat your meals with monkeys, and even share your bath with bears, all from the comfort of a unique new lodging experience.
The Jamala Wildlife Lodge opened its doors in January 2015, which was set up in an effort to educate visitors about aiding the survival of many of the world's endangered species.
“It’s great for the animals; they're going to get more space. It's great for the viewing public; they're going to get more things to see. It will be great for tourism and just for the local community," Said Richard Tindale, the owner and operator.
Spreading across three locations in the National Zoo, the 18 rooms, which range from giraffe tree houses to jungle bungalows, offer a fantastic experience with wildlife

The Burley Griffin House
Only meters from the edge of Lake Burley Griffin, the indoor and outdoor entertaining areas have splendid views across the lake to Black Mountain.

【题目】Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources, as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills began to be used in the ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.
For many centuries, people used windmills to grind(磨碎)wheat into flour or____water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radios. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.
During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.
【1】From the text we know that windmills _______.
A. were invented by European armies
B. have a history of more than 2,800 years
C. have rarely been used since electricity was discovered
D. used to supply power to radio in remote area
【2】The underlined word in Paragraph 2 probably means________.
A. making something cleaner
B. making something flow freely
C. making something flow in a particular direction
D. making something into small parts
【3】One of the reasons wind was discovered in the 1970s is that_______.
A. it is one of the oldest power sources
B. wind power is cleaner
C. it was cheaper to create energy from wind
D. coal and gas failed to meet the needs
【4】What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A. The global trend towards producing power from wind.
B. The design of wind power plants.
C. The worldwide movement to save energy.
D. The advantages of wind power.
