Do you know how the microwave oven was invented? In the 1940s, Percy Spencer worked at a company called Raytheon. They were making machines for World War II. One day, when testing a new machine part called a magnetron (磁控管), Percy noticed something strange. A chocolate bar in his pocket had melted (融化)! Percy wanted to know why it had melted.
Percy decided to do some research. He put a glass of water near the magnetron, and it boiled really fast! Then, he tried heating an egg, which exploded (爆炸). Percy realized that the microwaves from the magnetron could cook food quickly.
Percy and his team started working on a new kind of oven that used microwaves to cook food. In 1945, they made the first microwave oven, called the “Radarange”. This first microwave was bulky, about five feet tall and weighing over 700 pounds. It was mainly used in restaurants and on ships because it was too expensive for home use.
Over the next few years, engineers worked to make microwave ovens smaller, cheaper, and safer to use at home. By the 1970s, many families had microwave ovens in their kitchens. They loved how fast and easy it was to cook food with them. Micro wave ovens could make food in minutes, which was much quicker than traditional ovens.
24. What strange thing interested Percy when he tested a magnetron?
A. The pocket. B. The company.
C. The boiled water. D. The melted chocolate bar.
25. The underlined word “bulky” in Paragraph 3 means “________”.

C. cheap and useful D. dangerous and costly

A. The first microwave oven was mainly used at home and in restaurants.
B. Microwave ovens could make food quicker than traditional ovens.
C. The first microwave oven called the “Radarange” was over 700 feet tall.
D. In the 1940s, Percy Spencer worked at a company called Magnetron.

【25题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“This first microwave was bulky, about five feet tall and weighing over 700 pounds.”可知,第一台微波炉体积庞大,高约五英尺,重达700多磅。因此,“bulky”意为“large and heavy”。故选A。

C
Glaciers (冰川) hold about 70% of the Earth’s fresh water. They are large pieces of closely packed ice and snow. Glaciers only form in places where it is very cold. Every year, new snow falls on top of the old snow. The layers (层) of snow press down on each other, and then the snow crystals (晶体) start to change. They get smaller, and air pockets are pushed out of the snow. This allows the crystals to grow longer. Over time, the snow layer at the bottom of all the other snow layers becomes ice. The whole process of making a glacier takes about 100 years.
Some ice is packed so closely that it looks like it is blue. The snow on top of a glacier looks white because it reflects all of the light. But the ice layers of the glacier do not have many air pockets. They absorb (吸收) different pails of light and reflect blue light. Some of the glaciers on the Earth may be very old. Scientists think that a few glaciers have ice that is about 8 million years old. Not all of the glaciers are that old, though. A number of glaciers in Alaska are only about 100 years old.
There are different kinds of glaciers. An ice stream is a kind of glacier that forms on another glacier, and it looks like a frozen river. Rock glaciers are made when ice, rock, and other objects get mixed together.
27. Which is the correct process of forming a glacier?
①New snow falls on top of the old snow. ②The snow crystals grow longer.
③Air pockets are pushed out of the snow. ④The layers of snow press down on each other.
⑤The snow layer at the bottom becomes ice.
A. ①④③②⑤ B. ①②④③⑤ C. ⑤②④③① D. ⑤④③②①
28. Why does the writer talk about Alaska’s glaciers?
A. To show they are the oldest glaciers on the Earth. B. To show some of the glaciers are not very old.
C. To show the weather in Alaska is very cold. D. To show the rocks in them are valuable.
29. The writer supports his idea in the last paragraph by ________.
A. listing numbers B. asking questions C. telling stories D. giving examples
30. The passage is mainly to ________.
A. describe different kinds of fresh water B. make an introduction about glaciers
C. point out the importance of glaciers D. introduce the influence of cold weather
【答案】27. A 28. B 29. D 30. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了冰川的形成过程、冰川的特性以及不同种类的冰川。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Every year, new snow falls on top of the old snow...the snow layer at the bottom of all the other snow layers becomes ice. ”可知,冰川形成的过程为:①新雪覆盖旧雪 → ④雪层相互挤压 → ③空气被挤出 → ②雪晶变长 → ⑤底层形成冰。正确顺序为①④③②⑤,故选A。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Not all of the glaciers are that old, though. A number of glaciers in Alaska are only about 100 years old.”可推知,作者提到阿拉斯加的冰川是想说明有些冰川并不是很古老。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据“An ice stream is a kind of glacier that forms on another glacier, and it looks like a frozen river. Rock glaciers are made when ice, rock, and other objects get mixed together.”可知,作者通过列举“冰流”和“岩石冰川”两种不同类型的冰川来说明冰川的多样性,属于举例论证,故选D。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。全文围绕冰川的形成、颜色、年龄及类型展开,是典型的科普性介绍,选项B“介绍冰川”准确概括主旨。故选B。

【31题详解】
根据上文“It is said that Chinese is one of the ‘super-hard languages’.”可知,中文是“超级难的语言”,选项F“许多人也认为中文是‘最重要的语言’。”进一步说明中文不仅难,还被很多人认为是“最重要的语言”,与前文形成递进关系,且符合文章对中文进行介绍的语境。故选F。

37. 你粉红色的手提包看起来很漂亮。

Dear John,
How is it going? I’m glad to hear that you will study and live in Xi’an. Here are some table manners in China.
Firstly, eating with chopsticks is necessary in China. But remember not to stick your chopsticks into your food. And you shouldn’t hit an empty bowl with your chopsticks. Secondly, when dining with your host family, remember to let the elders sit and stall eating first. You can talk during dinner, but avoid raising your voice, as it’s considered impolite. Moreover, it’s also considerate to finish eating neatly, without leaving too much food on your plate. Lastly, appreciating the food and thanking your hosts is important. A simple “thank you” goes a long way in Chinese culture.
Hope to see you soon.

Do you know how the microwave oven was invented? In the 1940s, Percy Spencer worked at a company called Raytheon. They were making machines for World War II. One day, when testing a new machine part called a magnetron (磁控管), Percy noticed something strange. A chocolate bar in his pocket had melted (融化)! Percy wanted to know why it had melted.
Percy decided to do some research. He put a glass of water near the magnetron, and it boiled really fast! Then, he tried heating an egg, which exploded (爆炸). Percy realized that the microwaves from the magnetron could cook food quickly.
Percy and his team started working on a new kind of oven that used microwaves to cook food. In 1945, they made the first microwave oven, called the “Radarange”. This first microwave was bulky, about five feet tall and weighing over 700 pounds. It was mainly used in restaurants and on ships because it was too expensive for home use.
Over the next few years, engineers worked to make microwave ovens smaller, cheaper, and safer to use at home. By the 1970s, many families had microwave ovens in their kitchens. They loved how fast and easy it was to cook food with them. Micro wave ovens could make food in minutes, which was much quicker than traditional ovens.
24. What strange thing interested Percy when he tested a magnetron?
A. The pocket. B. The company.
C. The boiled water. D. The melted chocolate bar.
25. The underlined word “bulky” in Paragraph 3 means “________”.
A. large and heavy B. old and broken
C. cheap and useful D. dangerous and costly
26. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The first microwave oven was mainly used at home and in restaurants.
B. Microwave ovens could make food quicker than traditional ovens.
C. The first microwave oven called the “Radarange” was over 700 feet tall.
D. In the 1940s, Percy Spencer worked at a company called Magnetron.
C
Glaciers (冰川) hold about 70% of the Earth’s fresh water. They are large pieces of closely packed ice and snow. Glaciers only form in places where it is very cold. Every year, new snow falls on top of the old snow. The layers (层) of snow press down on each other, and then the snow crystals (晶体) start to change. They get smaller, and air pockets are pushed out of the snow. This allows the crystals to grow longer. Over time, the snow layer at the bottom of all the other snow layers becomes ice. The whole process of making a glacier takes about 100 years.
Some ice is packed so closely that it looks like it is blue. The snow on top of a glacier looks white because it reflects all of the light. But the ice layers of the glacier do not have many air pockets. They absorb (吸收) different pails of light and reflect blue light. Some of the glaciers on the Earth may be very old. Scientists think that a few glaciers have ice that is about 8 million years old. Not all of the glaciers are that old, though. A number of glaciers in Alaska are only about 100 years old.
There are different kinds of glaciers. An ice stream is a kind of glacier that forms on another glacier, and it looks like a frozen river. Rock glaciers are made when ice, rock, and other objects get mixed together.
27. Which is the correct process of forming a glacier?
①New snow falls on top of the old snow. ②The snow crystals grow longer.
③Air pockets are pushed out of the snow. ④The layers of snow press down on each other.
⑤The snow layer at the bottom becomes ice.
A. ①④③②⑤ B. ①②④③⑤ C. ⑤②④③① D. ⑤④③②①
28. Why does the writer talk about Alaska’s glaciers?
A. To show they are the oldest glaciers on the Earth. B. To show some of the glaciers are not very old.
C. To show the weather in Alaska is very cold. D. To show the rocks in them are valuable.
29. The writer supports his idea in the last paragraph by ________.
A. listing numbers B. asking questions C. telling stories D. giving examples
30. The passage is mainly to ________.
A. describe different kinds of fresh water B. make an introduction about glaciers
C. point out the importance of glaciers D. introduce the influence of cold weather
