A team of students in the Netherlands has designed and built a new car that is completely powered by the sun. The car, called Stella Terra, is the first solar-powered car that can travel for a long journey without needing a charging station (充电站).
Students at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands have been working on solar-powered cars for years. In order to create a car that the team was planning for, the students had to design the car from top to bottom.
On top, of course, are the solar panels (太阳能板). Most solar panels are only about 20% efficient (效率高的). That means they waste about 80% of the sunlight they get. But the Stella Terra’s solar panels are 26% efficient. They waste far less sunlight than even the best solar panels you can buy. Thanks to its powerful solar panels, when it’s sunny, the car can run for 710 kilometers a day. Stella Terra can carry two people, and has a top speed of 145 kph. The car weighs just 1,200 kilograms. That’s about two-thirds the weight of a typical car.
The team recently took the car on its biggest test — a challenging 1,000-kilometer test drive across Morocco. The car had to travel through forests as well as dry riverbeds. It had to drive across burning desert sands and climb up mountain roads. The car succeeded in doing all of this — and all without ever stopping at a charging station.
The team is very proud of their car, but they won’t be worried if car companies start to copy their idea. In fact, they will share the idea before car companies are able to build a similar car.
4. What can we learn about the car?
A. It can travel more freely.
B. It’s terribly expensive.
C. It has been out of style.
D. It has come on the market.
5. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The appearance of Stella Terra.
B. The hardship the team suffered.
C. The members of the design team.
D. The basic information on the car.
6. Why did the team drive the car across Morocco?
A. To find more buyers.
B. To test out its performances.
C. To improve their driving skills.
D. To enjoy the amazing sight.
7. What does the team want to do concerning the idea?
A. Keep it top secret.
B. Put it into production.
C. Share it with car producers.
D. Sell it to other students.
C
A three-year drought has left millions of people in Syria, Iraq and Iran with little water. A new study says it would not have happened without human-caused climate (气候) change.
The team looked at temperature and rainfall levels. And they compared what happened in the last three years to many different computer models of the conditions in a world without human-caused climate change. They concluded that without the world warming 1.2℃ since the mid-19th century, there would not be such a serious drought at all.
“Human-caused climate change is already making life extremely hard for tens of millions of people in West Asia,” said study co-writer Mohammed Rahimi. “With every degree of warming, Syria, Iraq and Iran will become even harder places to live.
Computer models did not find any considerable signs of climate change in the low rainfall, Otto said. But evaporation (蒸发) of water in lakes, rivers, and wetlands was much higher than it would have been without climate change-increased temperatures. The study writers found that the drought conditions in Syria and Iraq are 25 times more likely because of climate change, and in Iran, 16 times more likely.
“Drought is not unusual to the Middle East area. But fights make the area even more likely to have a drought because they have weakened water systems,” said study co-writer Rana El Hajj. “This is already touching the limits of what some people are able to stand. As long as we keep burning fuels that affect climate change and continue to explore new oil and gas fields, these kinds of events will only get worse,” she added. “This will continue to destroy lives and keep food prices high.”
8. What caused the drought according to the study?
A. Rising temperatures. B. Cold weather.
C. Loss of wetlands. D. Forest damage.
9. How does climate change affect the people in West Asia?
A. They become wise. B. They explore more oil.
C. They are ready to help. D. They lead a hard life.
10. What is Rana’s attitude to the situation in the area?
A. Doubtful. B. Uncaring. C. Worried. D. Positive.
11. In which part of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Education. B. Technology. C. Health. D. Environment.
D
Your ears are already dark wet and full of oils and dead skin—a delicious meal for many bacteria (细菌). It seems that wearing headphones could only make that environment more inviting to these bacteria.
Actually, a 2008 study at Manipal University in India found that frequent (频繁的) use of headphones did increase the population of bacteria in the ear—mostly the staphylococcus, a common skin bacterium. And in 1992, a study at the Navy Medical Research Institute in Bethesda, Maryland in the US, found that the kind of over-the-ear headphones used by airlines had 11 times more bacteria after having been worn for just one hour.
As unpleasant as this sounds, there is no need to worry about it. The headphones in the second study were clean before use, so began with a very low bacterial population and that increase resulted in a fairly low number in absolute terms.
Also, this increase was not fast enough to increase the reproduction of bacteria. The study’s authors said that most of the bacteria must already have been present in the deeper skins. The dark warm conditions while wearing headphones just encouraged some of them to come out and play. Furthermore, there are no signs that these bacteria can cause any harm. A 2002 study of call centre workers in Malaysia found no connections between headphone use and the illness in the ear.
The bacteria that increase in your ear while you listen to music are the ones that live there normally, and your ear is able to deal with them. However, several studies have suggested that repeatedly putting on and taking off headphones may increase the risk of skin abrasions (擦伤) that allow harmful bacteria to get in and cause illnesses.
12. What does the underlined word “inviting” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Equal. B. Attractive. C. Deadly. D. Confusing.
13. Why does the author mention the 2002 study?
A. To support a view. B. To show a lifestyle.
C. To raise a question. D. To present a product.
14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Researchers haven’t finished the studies.
B. Listening to music makes us less focused.
C. We can kill harmful bacteria completely.
D. Improper use of headphones harms health.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Proper Ways to Get Free from Bacteria
B. Doctors Can Treat an Illness in the Ear
C. Concerns about Bacteria on Headphones
D. Causes of the Rising Number of Bacteria

I grew up in southeastern Michigan. I was a fan of Detroit Tigers, a famous baseball team, as a young boy.
My childhood dream was to be like my hero, Al Kaline, and someday play for the Tigers. My Dad would take me to Tiger Stadium several times a year and my hero Al Kaline would never let me down. We never attended a game that he didn’t get at least one hit.
I was crazy about baseball. If there was a game in my high school, I was never absent. I kept practising so that I could achieve my dream of playing for the Tigers, and I was doing well at each level of play. Later, I got a chance to sign up for a strong American Legion baseball program. There I met our coach, Bob Ohm, who knew a lot of baseball and taught each of us the basics as well as more advanced baseball skills. With Bob Ohm’s help and my hard work, I had set new records in many baseball championships.
My dream to be like my hero seemed to draw near. One summer, I went up to play the final season in Marinette. There were scouts who came to find the best players. This was it! My big chance!
Well as the game progressed I hit the ball very well getting five hits in the game. Unfortunately, I also made four mistakes. The final mistake actually drew laughter from the crowd.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了荷兰埃因霍温理工大学的一个学生团队设计并制造了一辆完全由太阳能驱动的汽车Stella Terra。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“A team of students in the Netherlands has designed and built a new car that is completely powered by the sun. The car, called Stella Terra, is the first solar-powered car that can travel for a long journey without needing a charging station (充电站).(荷兰的一组学生设计并制造了一辆完全由太阳能驱动的新车。这款名为Stella Terra的汽车是第一款无需充电站就能进行长途旅行的太阳能汽车。)”可知,这辆车完全由太阳能驱动,无需充电站就能进行长途旅行;由此可知,这辆车出行更加自由。故选A。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。第三段“On top, of course, are the solar panels (太阳能板). Most solar panels are only about 20% efficient (效率高的). That means they waste about 80% of the sunlight they get. But the Stella Terra’s solar panels are 26% efficient. They waste far less sunlight than even the best solar panels you can buy. Thanks to its powerful solar panels, when it’s sunny, the car can run for 710 kilometers a day. Stella Terra can carry two people, and has a top speed of 145 kph. The car weighs just 1,200 kilograms. That’s about two-thirds the weight of a typical car.(当然,顶部是太阳能电池板)。大多数太阳能电池板的效率只有20%左右。这意味着它们浪费了大约80%的阳光。但是Stella Terra的太阳能电池板的效率是26%。它们比你能买到的最好的太阳能电池板浪费的阳光要少得多。由于其强大的太阳能电池板,当天气晴朗时,该车每天可以行驶710公里。Stella Terra可以搭载两个人,最高时速为145公里。这辆车的重量只有1200公斤。这大约是一辆普通汽车重量的三分之二。)”介绍了这辆车的太阳能利用率更高的电池板、每日行驶里程、搭载人数、时速以及重量等;由此可知第三段主要介绍了这辆车的一些基本情况。故选D。
【6题详解】

It had to drive across burning desert sands and climb up mountain roads. The car succeeded in doing all of this — and all without ever stopping at a charging station.(该团队最近对该车进行了一次最大的测试——在摩洛哥进行了1000公里的挑战性试驾。汽车不仅要穿过干涸的河床,还要穿过森林。它必须穿过燃烧的沙漠,爬上山路。这款车成功地做到了这一切,而且从未在充电站停过车。)”可知,这个团队驾驶这辆车穿越摩洛哥对该车进行了一次最大的测试,测试它在各种地形中的性能。故选B。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The team is very proud of their car, but they won’t be worried if car companies start to copy their idea. In fact, they will share the idea before car companies are able to build a similar car.(该团队对他们的汽车感到非常自豪,但如果汽车公司开始抄袭他们的想法,他们也不会担心。事实上,在汽车公司能够制造出类似的汽车之前,他们将分享这个想法。)”可知,该团队想要与汽车生产商分享这个想法。故选C。

A three-year drought has left millions of people in Syria, Iraq and Iran with little water. A new study says it would not have happened without human-caused climate (气候) change.
The team looked at temperature and rainfall levels. And they compared what happened in the last three years to many different computer models of the conditions in a world without human-caused climate change. They concluded that without the world warming 1.2℃ since the mid-19th century, there would not be such a serious drought at all.
“Human-caused climate change is already making life extremely hard for tens of millions of people in West Asia,” said study co-writer Mohammed Rahimi. “With every degree of warming, Syria, Iraq and Iran will become even harder places to live.
Computer models did not find any considerable signs of climate change in the low rainfall, Otto said. But evaporation (蒸发) of water in lakes, rivers, and wetlands was much higher than it would have been without climate change-increased temperatures. The study writers found that the drought conditions in Syria and Iraq are 25 times more likely because of climate change, and in Iran, 16 times more likely.
“Drought is not unusual to the Middle East area. But fights make the area even more likely to have a drought because they have weakened water systems,” said study co-writer Rana El Hajj. “This is already touching the limits of what some people are able to stand. As long as we keep burning fuels that affect climate change and continue to explore new oil and gas fields, these kinds of events will only get worse,” she added. “This will continue to destroy lives and keep food prices high.”
8. What caused the drought according to the study?
A. Rising temperatures. B. Cold weather.
C. Loss of wetlands. D. Forest damage.
9. How does climate change affect the people in West Asia?
A. They become wise. B. They explore more oil.
C. They are ready to help. D. They lead a hard life.
10. What is Rana’s attitude to the situation in the area?
A. Doubtful. B. Uncaring. C. Worried. D. Positive.
11. In which part of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Education. B. Technology. C. Health. D. Environment.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道,主要讲述了人为气候变化导致的严重干旱问题,以及这种干旱对西亚地区人民生活的影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“They concluded that without the world warming 1.2℃ since the mid-19th century, there would not be such a serious drought at all.(他们得出的结论是,如果没有自19世纪中叶以来的全球变暖1.2℃,就不会有如此严重的干旱)”可知,干旱的原因是全球变暖,故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Human-caused climate change is already making life extremely hard for tens of millions of people in West Asia(人为气候变化已经使西亚地区数千万人的生活变得极其困难)”可知,气候变化使西亚人民的生活变得困难,故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“This is already touching the limits of what some people are able to stand. As long as we keep burning fuels that affect climate change and continue to explore new oil and gas fields, these kinds of events will only get worse, she added. This will continue to destroy lives and keep food prices high.(这已经触及了一些人能够承受的极限。只要我们继续燃烧影响气候变化的燃料,并继续开发新的石油和天然气田,这种情况只会变得更糟,她补充道。这将继续摧毁生命,使食品价格居高不下)”可知,Rana对该地区的情况感到担忧,故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文以及第一段内容“A three-year drought has left millions of people in Syria, Iraq and Iran with little water. A new study says it would not have happened without human-caused climate (气候) change.(三年的干旱使叙利亚、伊拉克和伊朗数百万人缺水。一项新的研究表明,如果没有人为引起的气候变化,这种情况就不会发生)”可知,这篇文章主要讲述了人为气候变化导致的严重干旱问题,以及这种干旱对西亚地区人民生活的影响,这是关于环境问题的报道,故选D。

Your ears are already dark, wet and full of oils and dead skin—a delicious meal for many bacteria (细菌). It seems that wearing headphones could only make that environment more inviting to these bacteria.
Actually, a 2008 study at Manipal University in India found that frequent (频繁的) use of headphones did increase the population of bacteria in the ear—mostly the staphylococcus, a common skin bacterium. And in 1992, a study at the Navy Medical Research Institute in Bethesda, Maryland in the US, found that the kind of over-the-ear headphones used by airlines had 11 times more bacteria after having been worn for just one hour.
As unpleasant as this sounds, there is no need to worry about it. The headphones in the second study were clean before use, so began with a very low bacterial population and that increase resulted in a fairly low number in absolute terms.
Also, this increase was not fast enough to increase the reproduction of bacteria. The study’s authors said that most of the bacteria must already have been present in the deeper skins. The dark warm conditions while wearing headphones just encouraged some of them to come out and play. Furthermore, there are no signs that these bacteria can cause any harm. A 2002 study of call centre workers in Malaysia found no connections between headphone use and the illness in the ear.
The bacteria that increase in your ear while you listen to music are the ones that live there normally, and your ear is able to deal with them. However, several studies have suggested that repeatedly putting on and taking off headphones may increase the risk of skin abrasions (擦伤) that allow harmful bacteria to get in and cause illnesses.
12. What does the underlined word “inviting” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Equal. B. Attractive. C. Deadly. D. Confusing.
13. Why does the author mention the 2002 study?
A. To support a view. B. To show a lifestyle.
C. To raise a question. D. To present a product.
14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Researchers haven’t finished the studies.
B. Listening to music makes us less focused.
C. We can kill harmful bacteria completely.
D. Improper use of headphones harms health.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Proper Ways to Get Free from Bacteria
B. Doctors Can Treat an Illness in the Ear
C. Concerns about Bacteria on Headphones
D. Causes of the Rising Number of Bacteria
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了耳机使用过程中可能会增加耳朵中细菌的数量,但这些细菌并不会对人体造成伤害,然而,频繁的戴上和摘下耳机可能会增加皮肤擦伤的风险,从而使有害细菌有机会侵入并引发疾病。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“Your ears are already dark, wet and full of oils and dead skin—a delicious meal for many bacteria (细菌).”(你的耳朵已经又黑又湿,满是油脂和死皮——这是许多细菌的美味大餐。)第二段“Actually, a 2008 study at Manipal University in India found that frequent (频繁的) use of headphones did increase the population of bacteria in the ear—mostly the staphylococcus, a common skin bacterium.”(事实上,印度马尼帕尔大学2008年的一项研究发现,频繁使用耳机确实会增加耳朵里的细菌数量——主要是葡萄球菌,一种常见的皮肤细菌。)可知,戴耳机只会使这种环境对这些细菌更具吸引力。所以,inviting在此处意为“吸引人的”。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Furthermore, there are no signs that these bacteria can cause any harm. A 2002 study of call centre workers in Malaysia found no connections between headphone use and the illness in the ear.”(此外,没有迹象表明这些细菌会造成任何伤害。2002年对马来西亚呼叫中心工作人员的一项研究发现,耳机的使用与耳病之间没有关系。)可推知,作者提到2002年的研究是为了支持一个观点。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However, several studies have suggested that repeatedly putting on and taking off headphones may increase the risk of skin abrasions (擦伤) that allow harmful bacteria to get in and cause illnesses.”(然而,有几项研究表明,频繁地戴上和摘下耳机可能会增加皮肤擦伤的风险,从而使有害细菌有机会侵入并引发疾病。)可推知,不当的使用耳机可能会对健康造成伤害。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知,文章主要讲述了耳机使用过程中可能会增加耳朵中细菌的数量,但这些细菌并不会对人体造成伤害,然而,频繁的戴上和摘下耳机可能会增加皮肤擦伤的风险,从而使有害细菌有机会侵入并引发疾病。所以短文的最佳标题为“对耳机细菌的担忧”切题。故选C。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了喝茶的正确方式、步骤和注意点。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意:喝茶不仅是一种令人放松的时刻,而且茶是一种无穷无尽的饮料,有很多不同的类型,每一种都有自己独特的味道。分析句子可知,空处作修饰moment的定语,描述的是事物的特性,因此应用-ing结尾的形容词relaxing,意为“令人放松的”。故填relaxing。
【37题详解】
考查代词。句意:喝茶不仅是一种令人放松的时刻,而且茶是一种无穷无尽的饮料,有很多不同的类型,每一种都有自己独特的味道。分析句子可知,空后是名词短语own unique flavor,因此应用形容词性物主代词its。故填its。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:但如果你是一个喝茶的初学者,发现自己只是把一个旧茶包放在热水里,简单而随意地浸泡,你可能会错过大量的味道和体验喝茶快乐的机会。根据“find yourself”可推知,空处应填非谓语动词作宾补,put和“你自己”之间为逻辑主动关系,且表示动作正在发生,因此空处应用put的现在分词形式。故填putting。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:但如果你是一个喝茶的初学者,发现自己只是把一个旧茶包放在热水里,简单而随意地浸泡,你可能会错过大量的味道和体验喝茶快乐的机会。分析句子可知,空处和carelessly并列,修饰steeping,因此应用副词simply,意为“简单地”。故填simply。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:但如果你是一个喝茶的初学者,发现自己只是把一个旧茶包放在热水里,简单而随意地浸泡,你可能会错过大量的味道和体验喝茶快乐的机会。分析句子可知,空处被tea-drinking修饰,作介词of的宾语,因此应用名词happiness,意为“快乐”,为不可数名词。故填happiness。
【41题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:有几件重要的事情会影响茶的味道,包括茶的种类、水温和浸泡时间。根据“a few”可知,此处指几件重要的事情,空处应用thing的复数形式。故填things。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:要做一杯完美的茶,首先,你最好准备散叶茶,而不是茶包,它有浓郁而持久的味道。根据“instead”和“tea bags”可推知,此处用固定短语instead of,意为“而不是”,因此空处应用介词of。故填of。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:要做一杯完美的茶,首先,你最好准备散叶茶,而不是茶包,它有浓郁而持久的味道。分析句子可知,空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词loose-leaf tea,先行词指物,在从句中作主语,因此应用关系代词which或that作引导词。故填which/that。
【44题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:散叶茶产生的垃圾通常也比茶包少。根据“than tea bags”可知,此处表示比较,因此空处应用little的比较级。故填less。
【45题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:当它开始沸腾时就把水倒掉,以获得最佳的味道。分析句子可知,空处作when引导的时间状语从句的谓语,主句为祈使句,从句应用一般现在时,且主语为it,因此start需用第三人称单数形式。故填starts。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I grew up in southeastern Michigan. I was a fan of Detroit Tigers, a famous baseball team, as a young boy.
My childhood dream was to be like my hero, Al Kaline, and someday play for the Tigers. My Dad would take me to Tiger Stadium several times a year and my hero Al Kaline would never let me down. We never attended a game that he didn’t get at least one hit.
I was crazy about baseball. If there was a game in my high school, I was never absent. I kept practising so that I could achieve my dream of playing for the Tigers, and I was doing well at each level of play. Later, I got a chance to sign up for a strong American Legion baseball program. There I met our coach, Bob Ohm, who knew a lot of baseball and taught each of us the basics as well as more advanced baseball skills. With Bob Ohm’s help and my hard work, I had set new records in many baseball championships.
My dream to be like my hero seemed to draw near. One summer, I went up to play the final season in Marinette. There were scouts who came to find the best players. This was it! My big chance!
Well, as the game progressed I hit the ball very well getting five hits in the game. Unfortunately, I also made four mistakes. The final mistake actually drew laughter from the crowd.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

Today, I teach baseball in a high school.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
After the game, I knew my dream of playing professional baseball was lost. I was depressed at the time about the loss of my dream. I talked with my coach Bob Ohm about my failure. He shared the way he became himself now and comforted. “There can be many kinds of dreams in life. As long as you never give up, you can have the chance to realize your dream. The key point is that you need to maximize your strengths and be who you really are.” Thinking of my coach’s words, I decided to continue to play and practise to achieve my next dream of being a baseball teacher in a school.
Today, I teach baseball in a high school. The relationships that I have enjoyed with the students and athletes through the years are things that no one can put a price tag on. Although my early dream to play baseball for the Tigers didn’t come true, it created a new dream for me to be a teacher. I am proud of what I am doing because I can help the young go beyond their dreams with my most positive influence on them.
