限时规范练(三十四)　UNIT 4　A glimpse of the future (限时25分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 The demanding 2025 federal Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) goal of 54.5 miles per gallon across an automaker's fleet(车队) is one of the driving factors behind a series of advancements in more efficient engine technologies.To meet the increasing fuel standards，automakers have relied on a range of vehicle types. Most people tend to think of hybrids(混合的) and electric vehicles when talk turns to energy efficient cars.A hybrid vehicle uses both electric drive and an internal engine to push the vehicle. When the driver slows，the battery partially recharges through regenerative braking.Today，there are hybrid versions of many modern mid­size cars.The most recent advancement comes in the form of plug­in hybrids with larger (and more expensive) battery packs that can be charged at home or the office，allowing you to drive greater distances on electric power，which significantly improves overall average fuel economy on most trips. Electric cars are also evolving，but still confront hurdles when it comes to battery cost and a somewhat limited range in certain models.Promising electrics are on the horizon，but it's best to reserve judgment until we see whether they deliver at a price point more consumers can afford. Hydrogen(氢) fuel cell vehicles are also advancing.Essentially，these are electric cars with the electricity supplied by hydrogen and oxygen passing through a fuel cell stack(电磁堆).They're super clean，producing only water vapor and a little heat at the tailpipe.Until we have a much larger hydrogen­fuel basic facilities，these types of vehicles will be limited to regional use in major metro areas. As you can tell，along with engine technology，advancements have been made in many other areas.With the technological competition among automakers，energy efficient cars are evolving at an impressive pace，and that's a good thing for the planet. 1.Why do automakers develop various types of vehicles? A.To promote the car production. B.To boost the automobile industry. C.To satisfy the customers' demand. D.To meet the federal CAFE's standards. 2.What is the latest improvement of the hybrid car? A.It can be applied to cars in various sizes. B.It is equipped with plug­in battery packs. C.It uses an internal engine and electric drive. D.It can be partially charged via speeding drive. 3.What prevents the hydrogen­fuel cell vehicles being widely used? A.The high cost of production. B.Its demand of super clean fuel. C.The lack of supporting facilities. D.Its need of water vapor and heat. 4.What's the author's attitude to the future of energy efficient cars? A.Supportive. B.Tolerant. C.Critical. D.Doubtful. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了节能汽车，即混动汽车、电动汽车和氢燃料电池汽车的发展，并期望未来能看到节能汽车方面更多的技术进步。 1.D　[解析]推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“To meet the increasing fuel standards，automakers have relied on a range of vehicle types.”及本段提到的2025 federal Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE)可知，汽车制造商开发各种车型的原因是满足燃油标准，这个标准指的是联邦企业平均燃油经济性标准(CAFE)。故选D。 2.B　[解析]细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The most recent advancement comes in the form of plug­in hybrids with larger (and more expensive) battery packs that can be charged at home or the office，allowing you to drive greater distances on electric power”可知，混动汽车最近的优化是配备了插电式的电池组。故选B。 3.C　[解析]细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“Until we have a much larger hydrogen­fuel basic facilities，these types of vehicles will be limited to regional use in major metro areas.”可知，氢燃料电池汽车只在主要城市才有配套氢燃料基础设施，所以由于缺乏基础设施，氢燃料电池汽车无法广泛运用。故选C。 4.A　[解析]推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“With the technological competition among automakers，energy efficient cars are evolving at an impressive pace，and that's a good thing for the planet.”可知，作者认为节能汽车的发展对地球有利。因此，可推断作者对未来的节能汽车持支持的态度。故选A。 Ⅱ.七选五阅读 When your child begins to beg for a pet，you may draw back at the thought of the additional responsibilities.Parents usually think of all the work and responsibility having a pet could bring about.1. •Teach responsibility. A family pet can help show children the importance of proper care in keeping their new friend happy and healthy.2. Give your child a sense of responsibility by having them help meet these needs，whether they feel like it that day or not. •Encourage exercise. If you've ever been forced to keep up with a young dog or cat，you know how tiring it can be！3. By encouraging your child to play with his or her pet，both of them will get the exercise they need to sleep soundly and live healthy and happy lives. •4. Teaching your child how to “play nice” with and show affection to another living being is an essential first step toward developing lifelong empathy(共情) for others.Learning how to be a good friend with a pet will teach one how to be more open and friendly to other people as well. •Be practical. While the benefits of pet ownership are clear，pets are definitely not for everybody.Raising pets requires a large amount of work and responsibility.You'd better make sure the whole family is aware of the requirement that comes along with the pet.5. It's best to introduce the potential pet to your child before bringing him or her home to ensure that there is a healthy connection. A.Treat others well. B.Form a close bond with a friend. C.Pets are great for helping “break the ice”. D.But you can use the pet's energy to your advantage. E.Also，some pets can be very aggressive with children. F.All pets need to be fed，given fresh water，and exercised regularly. G.However，allowing kids to keep a pet can teach you both some important lessons. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了养宠物给孩子们带来的益处。 1.G　[解析]空处在第一段段末，应具有承上启下的作用。结合前文“Parents usually think of all the work and responsibility having a pet could bring about.”可知，主题为“允许孩子饲养宠物”，且后文讲到了允许孩子饲养宠物的好处。因此，空处既要包含主题，也要对后文起到引领的作用。选项G贴合主题，与前文构成转折关系，在句意上也引领了后文。故选G。 2.F　[解析]根据后文“Give your child a sense of responsibility by having them help meet these needs，whether they feel like it that day or not.”中提及的these needs可推知，空处应提及宠物们的需求。选项F阐述了具体的需求，且need符合词汇复现原则。故选F。 3.D　[解析]前文“If you've ever been forced to keep up with a young dog or cat，you know how tiring it can be！”提及“你”已经知道饲养宠物的劳累；后文“By encouraging your child to play with his or her pet，both of them will get the exercise they need to sleep soundly and live healthy and happy lives.”则讲到“你”可以利用这种“劳累”和“锻炼”帮助孩子睡得好，且保持健康和快乐。由此可推知，空处应是转折句。选项D为转折句，其中的advantage呼应后文sleep soundly and live healthy and happy lives，符合语境。故选D。 4.A　[解析]设空为该段小标题，应是主旨句。根据后文“an essential first step toward developing lifelong empathy for others.Learning how to be a good friend with a pet will teach one how to be more open and friendly to other people as well.”可知，该部分主要强调饲养宠物有助于教孩子友好对待他人。选项A符合该段主旨。故选A。 5.E　[解析]根据该段小标题可知，该段强调饲养宠物的客观事实，因此，空处应涉及“事实”，且对比前文讲到的好处，空处应讲到“坏处”。选项E讲述了宠物有可能具有攻击性这一事实，符合语境。故选E。 Ⅲ.语法填空 A resort(度假胜地) in Vietnam has opened a glass­bottomed foot bridge，the third such bridge in the Southeast Asian country，1.
