Ⅱ.阅读理解
Heading overseas on a business trip or just for pleasure any time soon?If so,have you thought about what you are going to do about communication?You may need to arrange cab service or get directions to an attraction,not to mention you want to stay in touch with the folks back home.
Hope you aren’t counting_on your personal cell phone.Industry experts estimate that most American cell phones won’t work overseas due to compatibility (兼容性) issues.And even if yours did work,the roaming (漫游) charges would be too high.
So what are your choices?You could rent a phone with a local number in the country you’re traveling to,but that wouldn’t do you much good if you’re constantly on the go.A more cost-effective way would be to rent a satellite phone from a company like Global Cellular Rental.
The process is amazingly fast and simple.All you have to do is to log onto the company’s website,,and place an order.The site will show you the countries you will be traveling to and ask you how long you will need the phone.The company then ships a cell phone directly to you anywhere in the world.The phone arrives with complete instructions.The traveler also learns his overseas phone number well in advance,enabling him to inform all vital contacts of the number before he ever steps on a plane.
Roaming rates are usually 80 percent less than those charged by American service providers.Calls back to the US can be discounted 40 percent or more.The rentals cost is just $5 per day,and discount packages are available for long-term rentals of two months or more.
This cell phone solution is becoming so popular that Global Cellular Rental actually has relationships with hotel chains around the world to keep phones in stock for hotel guests.And for those whose journey really takes them off the beaten track,the company can also rent satellite phones to them.These phones work anywhere in the world as long as you are outside.

解析 词义猜测题。由文章第二段第二、三句可知,通信专家说美国手机因为兼容问题到了国外可能不能使用,即便能使用,漫游费也会很高。由此可推出第一句的大致意思为“希望你不要依靠你的个人手机”,故B项“依靠,依赖”符合文意。
2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.You must place an order on its website.
B.Discount packages need to be applied in advance.
C.The Global Cellular Rental is an American company.
D.The company doesn’t help those travelers to remote areas.答案 C
解析 细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段可知,打回美国时,该公司的收费比其他的运营商收费要低,所以得知其为一家美国公司。该公司有一些连锁饭店,在饭店里也可租到手机,故A项错误;文中并未说明优惠资费包需要提前申请,故B项错误;对于一些去偏远地区的游客来说,也能得到这种服务,故D项错误。
3.Which shows the cost-effective aspect of the satellite phone when an American user travels in Beijing?A.The roaming rates are 20% discount compared to American local service.
B.Calls back to the US cost 60% less compared to American local service.
C.The rental cost is $150 per month if you rent for three months.

解析 细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段可知,使用卫星手机在国外往美国打电话会享受至少六折的折扣,也就是你至少会少花40%的费用。
4.How many ways of overseas communications by phone are mentioned in the passage?
A.2. B.3.
C.4. D.5.
解析 细节理解题。文章第二段提到第一种方式:用你原来的手机用漫游服务;第三段提到两种方式:一种是租一个当地的手机办一个当地的号,另一种是用环球手机租赁公司提供的卫星手机服务。所以一共是三种方式。
One of the world’s richest men has taken a close interest in one of man’s most basic functions:visiting the toilet.Bill Gates’s charitable organization,the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation,is looking for inventors to design the loo of the future,which,they hope,would improve sanitation for millions of people around the world.
So,what’s wrong with the traditional flush toilet?Firstly,it wastes a huge amount of potential drinking water.Secondly,they are more likely to cause pollution.This is a real problem in many areas of the developing world,where,according to United Nations estimates,unsafe sanitation causes half of all hospitalizations.Younger people are particularly at risk.Illnesses which cause diarrhea are responsible for the deaths of about 1.5 million children a year.Finally,standard lavatories simply aren’t practical in remote areas.
The challenge set by Bill Gates was to come up with a latrine which works without running water,electricity or aseptic tank.It also needed to operate for less than 5 cents.28 designs were displayed at the recent Reinvent the Toilet Fair,in Seattle,USA.Among them was one which turned human waste into electricity using microwaves,another which converted human waste into charcoal,and yet another which used urine for flushing.
But the winner was a solar-powered design which generated hydrogen gas and electricity. The team from the California Institute of Technology(CIT) picked up a prize of $100,000.
But clearly Bill Gates doesn’t feel he’s flushing money down the toilet.After the Seattle event he said,“We couldn’t be happier with the response we’ve gotten.” Gates has even pledged $370 million more to the future toilet project.They hope to field test more prototypes over the next three years.
5.Why is Bill Gates paying people to invent new toilets?
A.Because he wants to test people’s sense of creativity.
B.Because he wants to improve sanitation for many people.
C.Because he thinks the traditional ones are out of fashion.
D.Because he can’t design this kind of things himself.
解析 根据第一段最后一句“...which,they hope,would improve sanitation for millions of people around the world.”可知他希望这会改善全世界数以百万人的卫生环境。
6.Which of the following is NOT a problem with the traditional flush toilet?
A.They waste too much water.
B.They might cause diseases.
C.They are not always practical.
D.They are too complicated to use.
解析 第二段讲的是传统抽水马桶的问题。第二段第二句“Firstly,it wastes a huge amount of potential drinking water.”可对应答案A项;第三句“Secondly,they are more likely to cause pollution.”可对应答案B项;最后一句“Finally,standard lavatories simply aren’t practical in remote areas.”可对应答案C项。文中没有提到D项。
7.The underlined word “latrine” in the third paragraph might have similar meanings to the word “________” in the text.
B.sanitation
C.diarrhea
D.prototype
解析 根据第一段前两句可知toilet和loo是同义词,也就是说loo是“厕所”的意思。根据第三段划线词所在的句子的意思可知,比尔·盖茨提出的这个问题的挑战性在于,人们要设计出一个不用流水,不用电和无菌桶的latrine。因此,latrine的意思应该是“厕所”。
8.The team from CIT won the prize because their design ________.
A.can change human waste into electricity
B.can turn human waste into charcoal
C.can produce power with solar energy
D.can use urine for flushing
解析 根据倒数第二段第一句“But the winner was a solar-powered design which generated hydrogen gas and electricity.”可知获胜者设计了太阳能装置,能产生氢气和电。
                 
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Electric cars are dirty.In fact,not only are they dirty,they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins.
People in California love to talk about “zero-emissions vehicles”,but_people_in_Californiaseem_to_be_clueless_about_where_electricity_comes_from.Power plants mostly use fire to make it.Aside from the new folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells,we get our electricity from generators.Generators are fueled by something—usually coal,oil,but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants.There are a few wind farms and geothermal(地热的) plants as well,but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.
In other words,those “zero-emissions” cars are likely coal-burning cars.It’s just because the coal is burned somewhere else that it looks clean.It is not.It’s as if the California Greens are covering their eyes—“If I can’t see it,it’s not happening.” Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle;a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it.But when you take that gas(or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity,you waste a nice part of that energy,mostly in the form of wasted heat—at the generator,through the transmission(传送) lines,etc.
A gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles.But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won’t get you nearly as far—so electric cars burn more fuel than gas-powered ones.If our electricity came mostly from nukes;or geothermal,or hydro,or solar,or wind,then an electric car truly would be clean.But for political,technical,and economic reasons,we don’t use much of those energy sources.
In addition,electric cars’ batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill.And finally,when cars are the polluters,the pollution is spread across all the roads.When it’s a power plant,though,all the junk is in one place.Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are too concentrated,but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.
1.What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph 2?
A.People see the California Greens everywhere.
B.People in California love to talk about zero-emissions vehicles.
C.People in California love to have their roofs covered with solar cells.
D.People in California have no idea that so far electricity mainly comes from burning coal,oil,etc.
解析 句意理解题。由划线句及后文对电能来源的解释可知,此处指人们并不知道电能来自于煤和石油的燃烧。
2.What is the main idea of the text?
A.Electric cars are not clean at all.
B.Electric cars are better than gasoline-powered ones.
C.People cast doubts on electric cars’ batteries.
D.Gasoline is an efficient way to power a vehicle.答案 A
解析 主旨大意题。文章首段开门见山指明了全文的主题Electric cars are dirty,随后的几段都是围绕这一点展开的,即通过各种论据来证明“电能汽车并不清洁”这一论点。
3.The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car run ________.
A.not less than 25 miles
B.as far as 50 miles
C.as far as 25 miles
D.not more than 25 miles
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段第一、二句“A gallon of gas...the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won’t get you nearly as far...”可知,同样用一加仑的汽油,电能汽车所能行驶的路程及不上燃油汽车,即不会超过25英里。
4.It can be inferred from the text that ________.
A.being green is good and should be encouraged in communication
B.electric cars are not clean in that we get electricity mainly by burning something
C.zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environment
D.electric cars are now the dominant vehicle compared with gasoline-powered cousins
解析 推理判断题。文章反复都在强调一个观点,即电能汽车并不清洁环保,因为它需要靠燃烧其他东西来获得电能,而燃烧其他东西的过程本身也是一个污染的过程。
Elephants scored a big win in Dohar,Qatar,on March 22,2010.Representatives from 175 countries met in the Middle Eastern country.They voted to continue a ban on the sale of ivory(象牙).Two African nations,Tanzania and Zambia,had asked to open up the ivory trade.
People feared that weakening a 21-year-old ban on the sale of ivory would encourage illegal hunting and hurt elephant populations.African elephants once numbered in the millions.Today,there are fewer than 500,000.
“People born in 100 years should be able to see an elephant,” said Noah Wekesa,Kenya’s minister of forest and wildlife.His country voted to keep the ban.
In the 1980s,as many as 1 million elephants were killed throughout Africa.Hunters killed the animals for their ivory tusks,which were used to make jewelry and other things.“The slaughter of elephants in Africa was terrible,” says Paul Todd of the International Fund for Animal Welfare.The group works to protect animals.
The ivory wars continued until 1989,when the United Nations voted to ban all trade in ivory.With trade controlled,demand for ivory fell.Governments punished hunters.Elephant populations began slowly to increase.
Tanzania and Zambia asked to allow ivory sales from government stockpiles(库存).Ivory is so expensive that it’s known as “white gold”.Tanzania holds almost 200,000 pounds of ivory,which is worth as much as $20 million.Zambia has 48,000 pounds of the white gold.The countries said they need the money the ivory would bring.They say it was taken from hunters or came from animals that died naturally.
Experts believe that trading ivory encourages illegal hunting.They felt happy about the decision which forbids the sales.“This is a rare victory for elephants,” said Jason Bell.He works to protect animals.
5.The text is mainly about ________.
A.continuing a ban on the ivory sale to protect elephants
B.protecting endangered animals around the world
C.the effects of the ivory wars of the 1980s
D.the life of elephants in the wild
解析 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,这是一篇新闻报道,首段是主题段。文章报道了175个国家的代表在中东举行的会议上通过决议,继续禁止象牙贸易,故答案为A项。
6.Ivory is known as “white gold” because ________.
A.it is as rare as white gold
B.it is being sold illegally
C.it looks like white gold
D.it is extremely valuable
解析 细节理解题。综合第四段第二句“Hunters killed the animals for their ivory tusks,which were used to make jewelry and other things.”和第六段第二句“Ivory is so expensive that it’s known as ‘white gold.’”可知,象牙的价值非常高,故答案为D项。
7.The underlined word “slaughter” in Paragraph 4 most probably means “________”.
A.protection
B.killing
C.increase
解析 词义猜测题。由划线句前一句“Hunters killed the animals for their ivory tusks,which were used to make jewelry and other things.” 可知slaughter指代的就是killing。
8.It can be learned from the text that ________.
A.most African countries disagreed to forbid the ivory trade
B.Zambia has a great deal of ivory worth 4.8 million dollars
C.ivory from animals that died naturally is sold now around the world
D.the income of most African countries is partly from hunting elephants
解析 推理判断题。根据第六段“Tanzania holds almost 200,000 pounds of ivory,which is worth as much as $20 million.Zambia has 48,000 pounds of the white gold.”可推算出赞比亚现有价值480万美元的象牙。

William Henry Bragg was born at Westward,Cumberland,on July 2,1862.He was educated at Market Harboroagh Grammar School and afterwards at King William’s College,Isle of Man.Elected as a minor scholar of Trinity College,Cambridge,in 1881,he studied mathematics under the well-known teacher,Dr E.J.Routh.He studied physics in the Cavendish Laboratory during a part of 1885,and at the end of that year he was elected to the Professorship of Mathematics and Physics in the University of Adelaide,South Australia.
His research interests dealt with a great many fields and he was skilled at picking up a subject,almost casually,making an important contribution,and then dropping it again.However,the work of Bragg and his son Lawrence in
founded a new branch of science of the greatest importance and significance,the analysis of the crystal structure by means of X-rays.It is true that the use of X-rays as an instrument for the systematic revelation of the way in which crystals are built was entirely due to the Braggs.This was recognized by the award of the Nobel Prize jointly to father and son in 1915.
He was an honorary Doctor of some sixteen universities,and a member of the leading foreign societies.Many other medals and awards were bestowed upon him among which may be mentioned the Rumford Medal in 1916 and the Copley Medal (its premier award) in 1930.
He was the author of many books,including Studies in Radioactivity,X-Rays and Crystal Structure,The World of Sound,Concerning the Nature of Things,Old Trades and New Knowledge,An Introduction to Crystal Analysis,and The Universe of Light.His favorite hobby was golf.After a life of astonishing productiveness,Sir William Bragg died on March 10,1942.

Several parents and children escaped the summer heat and enjoyed a refreshing “Leap Into a Good Book”.About 30 children and parents gathered as volunteers for both agencies.
After the readings,refreshments (点心) were offered and children and parents were given books,a gift bag and a bookmark with information on adult literacy (读写能力) programs.
Learn to Read of Northwest Florida Inc.and Even Start coordinated the event with hopes that combining their programs will help target functionally illiterate adults and their families.A functionally illiterate adult is one who has reading skills below a seventh-grade level.That often means they have difficulty filling out job applications,understanding a lease,reading medication labels or to their children. Merelin Hernandez,9,a fourth-grader at Warrington Elementary School,understands the importance of reading.She also says it makes her happy when she is bored.“Reading helps me go to another grade,”she says.“I feel proud when I get a B because then I know I am reading well.”Monae Walker,7,a student at Oakcrest Elementary School,says reading teaches her and makes her happy.
Learn to Read of Northwest Florida Inc.provides one-on-one tutoring for basic reading and writing skills to adults 16 and older who are not in school.Tutors go through a 12-hour workshop and tutor their students 3 hours per week.The program currently has 150 active tutors.
Even Start is a family education program at McMillan Learning Center,which offers adult education classes and infant,toddler and prekindergarten services at no cost to families.Linda Harris,a teacher in charge of the Escambia Even Start program,says the program equips parents so they can help their children.
5.The event “Leap Into a Good Book”________.
A.was mainly held by Learn to Read
B.targeted functionally literate parents
C.was attended by about 30 volunteers
D.was held to enjoy reading in summer

Ⅰ.阅读理解
As you can see,water works hard in your body every day.That’s why it’s important
to give your body the water it needs to carry out all its different jobs.On a regular day,your body loses 2 to 3 quarts of water—enough to fill a 2-liter soda bottle.You probably guess that water is lost when you sweat—especially on a hot day.
But your body also loses water in an almost invisible way—evaporation (蒸发).Water escapes from your body through your skin and in your breath.How?Your breath contains droplets (小滴) of water that are usually too tiny to see.They become visible for a quick second in the cold when you can “see your breath”.But water evaporates this way all year round.Your skin also contains water,which escapes in tiny droplets that go into
the air.The water in your skin evaporates into the air,but fortunately,your body can replace the water it loses so your skin doesn’t dry out.
Eating and drinking is one way to replace the water your body loses.Most foods have a lot of water in them,especially fruits and vegetables.Grapes,watermelons,oranges,and cantaloupes are delicious and full of water.
But you can’t rely_on food alone to get that water back,and that’s why it’s also a good idea to drink water
every day.You might have heard someone say that people need to drink 6 to 8 cups (1.4 to 1.9 liters) of water each day.Depending on how much
water you’re getting from foods and other liquids,6 to 8 cups might not be necessary.If you eat a lot of fruits and vegetables,or you like to eat soup every day,you’ll get some of the water your body needs.
1.You should drink enough water every day because________.
A.your body needs too much water
B.water does all kinds of jobs in your body
C.your body loses a lot of water every day
D.the more water you drink the better you feel
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段可知,人喝水的主要原因是人体每天都通过各种途径失去很多水,为了保持人体的水平衡,人们才需要不断地喝水。
2.Water in your body loses by the following ways EXCEPT________.
A.breathing
B.evaporating
C.sweating
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句和第二段前两句可知,出汗、蒸发及呼吸是人体消耗水分的途径,而吃饭是获得水分的有效途径,所以D项符合题意。
3.Your body has to give enough water to your skin in order to________.
A.keep the water in your skin clean
B.stop your skin from drying out
C.stop the water from losing
D.keep your skin clean all the time
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句中“...but fortunately,your body can replace the water it loses so your skin doesn’t dry out.”可知,人体为皮肤提供水分是为了使皮肤不干燥。
4.What does the underlined phrase “rely on” in the fourth paragraph mean?
A.Eat up.
B.Receive.

解析 词义猜测题。根据上文并联系下文的“...and that’s why it’s also a good idea to drink water every day.”可判断,该词组的意思是“依靠”,只靠吃水果、蔬菜来补充水分是不够的。
It can’t be truer that when in Rome do as the Romans do.So it’s necessary for you to know what you can talk with the local people in France,Australia and Switzerland,and different customs of these countries.
You’ll find that conversations often turn into heated debates.Give opinions only on subjects that you are knowledgeable about.There is rarely a moment of silence,except when the topic under discussion has been exhausted,and nothing new has been introduced.
Food,art,music and current events or history are welcome topics.French believe in freedom,and you can criticize anyone,but not Napoleon,who is the symbol of French spirit and never use the standard US conversation opener “What do you do?”
In Australia
Australians tend to be enthusiastic debaters.A wide range of topics may be open to discussion,including religion and politics.The best policy,however,is to wait for Australian companions to bring up these two subjects and be prepared to hear their arguments.
Sport is a common topic of conversation in Australia and Australians tend to use sporting comparison.Australians like to criticize themselves,but they can’t stand criticism from others.Don’t talk big.Instead,Australians prefer to judge your competence and abilities through your actions.People who show off their education in conversation may be subject to teasing.
In Switzerland
The Swiss may seem cold.Once you get close to them,however,you’ll find that they are honest,responsible people,who will be loyal to your interests.
They are good listeners and will remember practically everything you say to them.Sometimes they will even go so far as to take notes while you speak.The Swiss are very private people,so you should avoid asking personal questions.They can be rather serious,so it is advisable to avoid making jokes on them.
