2、 阅读理解(共15小题,每小题1分,满分30分)
A
When the wind blows, tree leaves move with it. What if we could “catch” the energy made by these leaves? A French scientist thought about this and made the Wind Tree.
The Wind Tree is not a real tree. It just looks like one, with a white body and around 36 green “leaves”. The “leaves” are blades (扇叶) which can turn in the wind. When they turn, they create electricity, and then the machine collects it. The Wind Tree is like a wind turbine (风力涡轮机), but it’s much smaller. It’s about 5 to 10 meters tall and easy to build.
Usually, the Wind Tree can make 18,000 kWh (千瓦时) of energy in a year. That’s enough to power a home of four people. If the wind is stronger, it can make a lot more electricity—about twice at most.
Wind turbines may hurt birds because they may hit the blades by accident. But the Wind Tree doesn’t have this problem. The loud wind turbines usually sit on hills far away from people. But the Wind Tree is quiet. People can have them in gardens or city parks.
11.Why did the French scientist make Wind Tree?
A.To move tree leaves quickly. B.To make more electricity.
C.To help wind blow strongly. D.To make gardens beautiful.
12.What do we know about the Wind Tree in Paragraph 2?
A.It has about 36 blades. B.It has a green body.
C.It is a kind of real tree. D.It is difficult to build.
13.How much energy can a Wind Tree make at most in a year if the wind is stronger?
A.About 9,000 kWh. B.About 18,000 kWh.
C.About 27,000 kWh. D.About 36,000 kWh.
14.What does them in paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Wind Trees. B.Wind turbines. C.Green leaves. D.Tree blades.
15.Which may be the best title of the article?
A.Powered by a Tree B.Energy around Us
C.Save the Wind Tree D.Facts about Real Trees
【答案】11.B 12.A 13.B 14.A 15.A
【导语】本文主要讲述了“风树”的由来,外形和作用。
11.细节理解题。根据第一段“When the wind blows, tree leaves move with it. What if we could ‘catch’ the energy made by these leaves? A French scientist thought about this and made the Wind Tree.”可知,法国科学家制作风树是为了产生更多的电。故选B。
12.细节理解题。根据“It just looks like one, with a white body and around 36 green ‘leaves’.”可知有大约36个叶片。故选A。
13.细节理解题。根据“Usually, the Wind Tree can make 18,000 kWh (千瓦时) of energy in a year.”可知,风树可以发电18000千瓦时的能量。故选B。
14.词义猜测题。根据前文“But the Wind Tree is quiet.”可知此处提及风树,此处的them应指Wind Trees。故选A。
15.最佳标题题。根据第一段“A French scientist thought about this and made the Wind Tree.”(一位法国科学家对此进行了思考,并制作了风树。)以及第二段“When they turn, they create electricity, and then the machine collects it.”(当它们转动时,它们会产生电力,然后机器会收集电力。)可知,本文讲了一位法国科学家发明的风树,它可以发电,所以本文的最佳标题是“一棵树产生的电力”。故选A。
B
Have you ever seen a bee fly busily? Do you think the bee is just flying around? In fact, the bee is hard at work.
Bees spend lots of time looking for food. But not all the bees in the hive (蜂巢) have this work. Bees can be divided into three kinds—a queen bee, drones (雄蜂), and worker bees. The queen bee is very important. She is the mother of all the bees that live in the hive. Worker bees do all the other work in the hive. Besides looking for food, they make and clean the hive. They also look after the queen and protect her.
Bees make dance-like movements inside the hive to send messages about food. They use different movements to give different information. They tell where food can be found and how far away it is from the hive. Bees can even share how much food there is and how good it is. And surprisingly, a new study has found that a group of bees could generate an amazing total of electricity by beating their wings more than 200 times per second. And the amount (量) of electricity could reach 100 to 1, 000 V (伏). That’s eight times greater than the electricity a storm cloud can produce.
Scientists found that the thicker a cloud of bees is, the more electricity it generates. Based on these findings, the team recorded that bees—which group together to form a huge, thick cloud of bees—could have an influence similar to that of a storm. Further research is needed to find out how electricity influences the bees and their environment.
16.What do worker bees need to do?
a. Make the hive. b. Look for food.
c. Take care of the queen. d. Protect drones.
A.a, b, d B.a, b, c C.b. c, d D.a, c, d
17.How do bees communicate with one another?
A.By making noise. B.By spreading smells.
C.By producing electricity. D.By using different movements.
18.What does the underlined word “generate” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Cost. B.Spread. C.Change D.Produce.
19.Which one shows the relationship between the thickness of a cloud of bees(x) and the amount of electricity(y)?
A. B. C. D.
20.Which can be the best title for the passage?
A.The Ways of Flying B.The History of Bees
C.The Secrets of Bees D.The Beauty of Nature
【答案】16.B 17.D 18.D 19.A 20.C
【导语】本文主要介绍了蜜蜂的分工,寻找食物的方式,以及蜂群可以产生电流的现象。
16.细节理解题。根据“Worker bees do all the other work in the hive. Besides looking for food, they make and clean the hive. They also look after the queen and protect her.”可知,工蜂要寻找食物、筑巢、清理蜂巢、照顾和保护蜂后。故选B。
17.细节理解题。根据“They use different movements to give different information”可知,它们用不同的动作来分享各种信息。故选D。
18.词句猜测题。根据“a group of bees could generate an amazing total of electricity by beating their wings more than 200 times per second”可知一群蜜蜂每秒拍打翅膀200多次,可以产生惊人的总电量,因此generate表示“产生”,和produce意义相近。故选D。
19.推理判断题。根据“Scientists found that the thicker a cloud of bees is, the more electricity it generates.”可知,蜂群越密集,电场强度越大,因此蜂群密集程度与电场强度是正比关系。故选A。
20.最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了蜜蜂的分工,寻找食物的方式,以及蜂群可以产生电流的现象,以选项C“蜜蜂的秘密”为标题最合适。故选C。
C
Sometimes people call our society a “throw-away society”. That means that we’re always throwing away old things and buying new ones. Many times, you no longer need something, but someone else may just need to buy one. For example, if your baby doesn’t like his toy car any longer, why not give it to a family who has a little kid?

◇Use the other side of the paper so that fewer trees will be cut down.
◇Use rechargeable (可再充电的) batteries for your electric toys, MP3 players, cell phones, and cameras.
◇Choose reusable travel cups instead of disposable (一次性的) paper or plastic cups.
◇Take your own cloth shopping bags instead of using the plastic bags that are offered when you go shopping.
◇Drink tap water instead of buying bottled water.
And there are some things you can exchange with your friends, for example, books, toys, even clothes. It’s a way for everyone to get something new without spending any money and without throwing many things away.
21.Where can we probably read this passage?
A.In a magazine. B.In a diary. C.On a movie poster. D.In a sci-fi novel.

A.Because we like buying new things.
B.Because we don’t buy new things.
C.Because we don’t like old things.
D.Because we always throw away old things and buy new ones.
23.Why is it helpful, if we give a second-hand toy car to a neighbour’s kid?
A.Because it can produce more new ones. B.Because it can make our society develop fast.
C.Because it can help us become rich. D.Because it can help the society save resources.

阅读全文,并从下面六个句子里选择五个句子还原到原文里,使原文的意思完整、连贯。
Most of us think the telephone was invented(发明) by Alexander Graham Bell. 26 In fact, an Italian named Antonio Meucci was officially recognized(官方认定) as the inventor a few years ago. Who is Meucci and why wasn’t he known for his invention at the time?
Antonio Meucci was born in Italy in 1808. He studied engineering and drawing. During his studies, Meucci started to do experiments with electricity(电). 27 When two places were connected with wire(线), people in those places could hear each other talk.
In 1850, Meucci and his wife, Ester, moved to New York. Meucci was worried about his wife, because she had become very ill. 28 To solve this problem, he connected metal cables between his home and his workshop. This way, they could talk to each other conveniently.
Meucci asked a group of people to see his new invention. They listened happily as the voice of a singer was heard through the wires. 29 Even worse, Meucci never applied for a patent(申请专利) on his invention. Meanwhile, Alexander Graham Bell was working on the same idea and in 1876 the patent for the telephone was given to him.
In 2002, more than a century after Meucci’s death, his work was finally recognized by the government. 30
A.So Bell is known in the whole world.
B.However, he wasn’t the first person to think of the idea.
C.He needed to keep in touch with her at all times.
D.He will now be known all over the world as the telephone’s inventor.
E.Unluckily, only a few people knew this talk.
F.He found that sound could travel through metal cables(电缆).
【答案】26.B 27.F 28.C 29.E 30.D
【导语】本文主要是介绍电话的发明人除了众所周知的Bell,还有另一个人Meucci。
26.根据“Most of us think the telephone was invented(发明) by Alexander Graham Bell.”和“In fact, an Italian named Antonio Meucci was officially recognized(官方认定) as the inventor a few years ago.”可知很多人认为电话是Bell发明的,但实际上还有另一个人也发明了电话,中间是转折关系,选项B“然而,他不是第一个想到这个主意的人。”符合语境,故选B。
27.根据“When two places were connected with wire(线), people in those places could hear each other talk.”可知两个地方通过电缆连接,那些地方的人们可以听到彼此的谈话,选项F“他发现声音可以通过电缆传播。”符合语境,故选F。
28.根据“Meucci was worried about his wife, because she had become very ill”可知Meucci的妻子病了,他很担心,选项C“他需要随时与她保持联系。”符合语境,故选C。
29.根据“Even worse, Meucci never applied for a patent(申请专利) on his invention.”可知这里在说Meucci的发明的不利情况,选项E“不幸的是,只有一些人知道这次谈话。”符合语境,故选E。
30.根据“In 2002, more than a century after Meucci’s death, his work was finally recognized by the government.”可知Meucci的发明被政府认可了,那么他也是电话的发明者,选项D“他现在将以电话的发明者而闻名于世。”符合语境,故选D。

When the wind blows, tree leaves move with it. What if we could “catch” the energy made by these leaves? A French scientist thought about this and made the Wind Tree.
The Wind Tree is not a real tree. It just looks like one, with a white body and around 36 green “leaves”. The “leaves” are blades (扇叶) which can turn in the wind. When they turn, they create electricity, and then the machine collects it. The Wind Tree is like a wind turbine (风力涡轮机), but it’s much smaller. It’s about 5 to 10 meters tall and easy to build.
Usually, the Wind Tree can make 18,000 kWh (千瓦时) of energy in a year. That’s enough to power a home of four people. If the wind is stronger, it can make a lot more electricity—about twice at most.
Wind turbines may hurt birds because they may hit the blades by accident. But the Wind Tree doesn’t have this problem. The loud wind turbines usually sit on hills far away from people. But the Wind Tree is quiet. People can have them in gardens or city parks.
11.Why did the French scientist make Wind Tree?
A.To move tree leaves quickly. B.To make more electricity.
C.To help wind blow strongly. D.To make gardens beautiful.
12.What do we know about the Wind Tree in Paragraph 2?
A.It has about 36 blades. B.It has a green body.
C.It is a kind of real tree. D.It is difficult to build.
13.How much energy can a Wind Tree make at most in a year if the wind is stronger?
A.About 9,000 kWh. B.About 18,000 kWh.
C.About 27,000 kWh. D.About 36,000 kWh.
14.What does them in paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Wind Trees. B.Wind turbines. C.Green leaves. D.Tree blades.
15.Which may be the best title of the article?
A.Powered by a Tree B.Energy around Us
C.Save the Wind Tree D.Facts about Real Trees

Have you ever seen a bee fly busily? Do you think the bee is just flying around? In fact, the bee is hard at work.
Bees spend lots of time looking for food. But not all the bees in the hive (蜂巢) have this work. Bees can be divided into three kinds—a queen bee, drones (雄蜂), and worker bees. The queen bee is very important. She is the mother of all the bees that live in the hive. Worker bees do all the other work in the hive. Besides looking for food, they make and clean the hive. They also look after the queen and protect her.
Bees make dance-like movements inside the hive to send messages about food. They use different movements to give different information. They tell where food can be found and how far away it is from the hive. Bees can even share how much food there is and how good it is. And surprisingly, a new study has found that a group of bees could generate an amazing total of electricity by beating their wings more than 200 times per second. And the amount (量) of electricity could reach 100 to 1, 000 V (伏). That’s eight times greater than the electricity a storm cloud can produce.
Scientists found that the thicker a cloud of bees is, the more electricity it generates. Based on these findings, the team recorded that bees—which group together to form a huge, thick cloud of bees—could have an influence similar to that of a storm. Further research is needed to find out how electricity influences the bees and their environment.
16.What do worker bees need to do?
a. Make the hive. b. Look for food.
c. Take care of the queen. d. Protect drones.
A.a, b, d B.a, b, c C.b. c, d D.a, c, d
17.How do bees communicate with one another?
A.By making noise. B.By spreading smells.
C.By producing electricity. D.By using different movements.
18.What does the underlined word “generate” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Cost. B.Spread. C.Change D.Produce.
19.Which one shows the relationship between the thickness of a cloud of bees(x) and the amount of electricity(y)?
A. B. C. D.
20.Which can be the best title for the passage?
A.The Ways of Flying B.The History of Bees
C.The Secrets of Bees D.The Beauty of Nature

Sometimes people call our society a “throw-away society”. That means that we’re always throwing away old things and buying new ones. Many times, you no longer need something, but someone else may just need to buy one. For example, if your baby doesn’t like his toy car any longer, why not give it to a family who has a little kid?
Here are some other ways to help the society save resources (资源) .
◇Use the other side of the paper so that fewer trees will be cut down.
◇Use rechargeable (可再充电的) batteries for your electric toys, MP3 players, cell phones, and cameras.
◇Choose reusable travel cups instead of disposable (一次性的) paper or plastic cups.
◇Take your own cloth shopping bags instead of using the plastic bags that are offered when you go shopping.
◇Drink tap water instead of buying bottled water.
And there are some things you can exchange with your friends, for example, books, toys, even clothes. It’s a way for everyone to get something new without spending any money and without throwing many things away.

阅读全文,并从下面六个句子里选择五个句子还原到原文里,使原文的意思完整、连贯。
Most of us think the telephone was invented(发明) by Alexander Graham Bell. 26 In fact, an Italian named Antonio Meucci was officially recognized(官方认定) as the inventor a few years ago. Who is Meucci and why wasn’t he known for his invention at the time?
Antonio Meucci was born in Italy in 1808. He studied engineering and drawing. During his studies, Meucci started to do experiments with electricity(电). 27 When two places were connected with wire(线), people in those places could hear each other talk.
In 1850, Meucci and his wife, Ester, moved to New York. Meucci was worried about his wife, because she had become very ill. 28 To solve this problem, he connected metal cables between his home and his workshop. This way, they could talk to each other conveniently.
Meucci asked a group of people to see his new invention. They listened happily as the voice of a singer was heard through the wires. 29 Even worse, Meucci never applied for a patent(申请专利) on his invention. Meanwhile, Alexander Graham Bell was working on the same idea and in 1876 the patent for the telephone was given to him.
In 2002, more than a century after Meucci’s death, his work was finally recognized by the government. 30
A.So Bell is known in the whole world.
B.However, he wasn’t the first person to think of the idea.
C.He needed to keep in touch with her at all times.
D.He will now be known all over the world as the telephone’s inventor.
E.Unluckily, only a few people knew this talk.
F.He found that sound could travel through metal cables(电缆).
