Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources (来源), as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills (风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.For many centuries, people used windmills to grind (磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground when electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.风能早在公元前七世纪就开始被人们用风车所利用，当人们发明了电以后，风能被用来发电，但随着电的广泛使用，风车逐渐不被人们使用了。而进入二十世纪七十年代后，人们又逐渐认识到了风能的优势。1．From the text we know that windmills ________.A. were invented by European armiesB. have a history of more than 2,800 yearsC. used to supply power to radio in remote areasD. have rarely been used since electricity was discovered答案：C。细节理解题。由第一段最后两句话可知风车首先是在古代伊朗被使用，故排除 A 项；公元前七世纪到现在应是不足 2800 年，故排除 B 项；由第二段当中的第二、三句话可以排除 D 项，同时也能知道C 项是正确的。2．What was a new use for wind power in the late l9th century?A. Sailing a boat. B. Producing electricity.C. Grinding wheat into flour. D. Pumping water from underground.答案：B。细节理解题。由文章第二段中的第二句话可知“在十九世纪末期人们发现了电以后，住在偏远地区的人们开始用风车发电” 。3．One of the reasons wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that ________.A. wind power is cleanerB. it is one of the oldest power sources2C. it was cheaper to create energy from windD. the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needs答案：A。主旨大意题。由文章最后一段可知。4．What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A. The advantages of wind power.B. The design of wind power plants.C. The worldwide movement to save energy.D. The global trend towards producing power from wind.答案：D。推理判断题。文章最后一句话“如今，出现了一个全球化的运动，要通过风能的利用来提供越来越多的电力” ，表明作者会就这个话题继续展开。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项。Best High School Band Plays Turner FieldThe North Cobb High School Band routinely takes the field every Friday night during football season. The band plays at North Cobb football games. This week, the band had to get ready a little earlier in the week. That’s because they played before the Atlanta Braves baseball game at Turner Field. North Cobb won wsbtv.com’s Best High School Band Tournament (锦标赛) last season. The prize for winning was a chance to play on the field at Turner Field before a Major League Baseball game. Tuesday night, the band collected the prize. “We were excited,” North Cobb High School Band drum major Madison Hall said. “Growing up in Atlanta, the Braves have always been such a famous figure in Atlanta, so we were really exited to have the opportunity to perform in front of a lot of people and in front of our community.” The tournament featured 64 high school bands from across Georgia. Wsbtv.com users determined the top four bands through voting with the Atlanta Braves entertainment staff selecting the winner from the final four. They selected North Cobb. “We have a number of great students at North Cobb,” director Greg Williams said. “We’ve got the best parents in the world,” he said. “The kids are so amazing, they are really bright, talented, and they work hard. They do anything we ask them to do and I really think that’s a lot of keys to our success.” 3Under the leadership of Williams and assistant band director Scott Pannell, the band made its way onto the outfield grass just as Atlanta Braves catcher Brian McCann was warming up. “It was amazing,” said Pannell. “Just going out in the tunnel and going into the stadium. And just looking at the Braves players on the left and seeing them over by our kids, it’s just unbelievable.” The Atlanta Braves have once again partnered with wsbtv.com to reward this year’s winner of the Best High School Band Tournament a chance to play at Turner Field. 1. What did the band do on Tuesday night?A. They performed at a football game. B. They won wsbtv.com’s tournament.C. They played before a baseball game. D. They got a sum of money as a reward.2. The North High School Band turned out the best mainly due to ________. A. the support of the school B. the huge reward from wsbtv.comC. the hard work of its members D. the encouragement from McCann3. We can infer from the passage that ________. A. the North High School Band is the pride of the BravesB. the competition between the school bands is very fierceC. the Atlanta Braves have been admired all over the USA D. only bright kids can be admitted to the North High School【参考答案】1—3、CCB 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。Gateway Academy Pre-Sessional CoursesOur pre-sessional courses are ideal for students who have a conditional place at a British university, but who need to achieve a certain level of English in order to be accepted. The course aims to provide students with the English language and study skills that they need in order to be successful at university or another academic establishment. It is important to note that completion of the course does not guarantee students’ entrance 4into a university. It is necessary for students to show during the course that they have understood the information and skills that they have been taught, and can apply them to their work. Pre-sessional students at Gateway Academy will benefit from:● Small class sizes (no more than 10 students per class)● Twenty three hours of tuition per week● Individual support and tutorials● Regular guest lecturers ● The use of the Academy’s study and recreational facilities, including the Language Library, the computer suite, and the academy’s sports facilities.● A varied social programme including evening entertainments and weekend excursions to popular tourist attractions and cities such as Stonehenge, Oxford and Stratford-on-Avon.The course offers an all-around approach to learning, and covers reading, writing, speaking and listening skills. During the course, students will receive instruction on important techniques such as summary-writing, analysing essay titles, organising writing, note-taking in lectures, giving seminars and making presentations. Students will gain experience in working both individually and in groups. As part of the course, all students will work towards a 5000-word project in their own field of study. Students will receive guidance from their tutors on how best to conduct research and write it up effectively. Students will also work towards a presentation on the same subject.There is no final examination. The attendance, successful completion of assignments and participation in class will be taken into account. Students will be given a full report on their progress at the end of the course. Students need to be aware that the course involves a great deal of coursework, which will require students to manage their time effectively.4.

In the eastern United States, one of the existing types was that commonly known under the Algonkian name of wigwam in which the Iroquois Indians lived. The wigwams were of wagon-top shape with straight sides and ends, made by bending young trees to form the round shape. Over this shape pieces of tree bark were laid to protect the Indians from bad weather. Over the bark dried grass was added. A small hole allowed smoke to escape from the top. Doorways at each end served also as windows. The Iroquois Indians built trunk walls all around their villages. The wall had only one opening. They could quickly close this opening if their enemies came near. 6Interestingly, the Choctaw Indians in Mississippi also lived in a wigwam of a most primitive(原始的) construction, but different from those of the Iroquois Indians. The Choctaw Indians’ wigwams, made from mud, cane and straw, were in the form of a bee-hive. The covering was made of a long, tough grass. A post in the centre supported the roof. A hole in the top admitted the light, and allowed the smoke to pass out. The tipi tent-housing of the upper lake and plains area was put up with poles set lightly in the ground, tied together near the top, and covered with bark and grass in the lake country. It was easily portable, and two women could set it up or take it down within an hour. The Pawnee, Mandan and other Indian tribes(部落)along the Missouri built solid ring-shaped structures of trunk, covered with earth and dried grass, housing a dozen families. The Wichita and other tribes of the Texas border built large ring-shaped houses covered with dried grass.Apart from the regular housing, almost every tribe had some style of housing. 1. Which of the following pictures shows the house for the Iroquois Indians? 2. According to the passage, the Pawnee Indians built their houses . A. with openings in the trunk wallsB. large enough for several familiesC. in a ring shape with bark and mudD. by bending young trees to form the shape73. All the native Indian houses described in the passage were . A. of the same shapeB. covered with grassC. built with a post in the centreD. built with doorways at each end4. The passage suggests that . A. all the native Indians built trunk walls all around their housesB. all the native Indian houses were built with poles tied togetherC. the Iroquois Indians took safety into account while building their wigwamsD. the Choctaw Indians in Mississippi built their wigwams with straight sides and ends【参考答案】63.1-4 ABBC 人文地理类(2013·重庆，D)Not all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the Atlantic Ocean，an S­shaped body of water covering 33 million square miles.The Atlantic has，in a sense，replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Western civilization.Unlike real inland seas，which seem strangely still，the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness.It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.“Storm at Sea”，a short poem written around 700，is generally regarded as one of mankind's earliest artistic representations of the Atlantic.When the wind is from the westAll the waves that cannot rest To the east must thunder on Where the bright tree of the sunIs rooted in the ocean's breast.8As the poem suggests，the Atlantic is never dead and dull.It is an ocean that moves，impressively and endlessly.It makes all kinds of noise—it is forever thundering，boiling，crashing，and whistling.It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath－perhaps not so noticeably out in mid­ocean，but where it meets land，its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach.It mimics(模仿)nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature.It is filled with symbiotic existences，too：unimaginable quantities of creatures，little and large alike，mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony，giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat，a kind of sub­ocean vitality.And it has a psychology.It has personalities：sometimes peaceful and pleasant，on rare occasions rough and wild；always it is strong and striking.9．Unlike real inland seas，the Atlantic Ocean is ________.A．always energetic B．lacking in livelinessC．shaped like a square D．favored by ancient poets解析 细节理解题。从第一段中的“Unlike real inland seas，which seem strangely still，the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness.”可知，liveliness(精力充沛，活跃)与 energetic 近义，故答案为 A 项。答案 A10．What is the purpose of using the poem “Storm at Sea” in the passage?A．To describe the movement of the waves.B．To show the strength of the storm.C．To represent the power of the ocean.D．To prove the vastness of the sea.解析 推理判断题。从诗歌下面的一段“As the poem suggests，the Atlantic is never dead and dull.It is an ocean that moves，impressively and endlessly.It makes all kinds of noise－it is forever thundering，boiling，crashing，and whistling.”可知，这首诗主要向我们描述了海洋的强大力量。答案 C11．What does the underlined word “symbiotic” mean?A．Living together. B．Growing fast.C．Moving harmoniously. D．Breathing peacefully.解析 词义猜测题。划线单词所在的句子后边用了冒号，后边的内容是对前边句子的解释，从下文“unimaginable quantities of creatures，little and large alike，mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony”中的 mix within 等字眼可知，划线单词意为“共生的” ，故 A 项符合要求。答案 A912．In the last paragraph，the Atlantic is compared to ________.A．a beautiful and poetic placeB．a flesh and blood personC．a wonderful worldD．a lovely animal解析 推理判断题。从最后一句“It has personalities：sometimes peaceful and pleasant，on rare occasions rough and wild；always it is strong and striking.”中可以看出，大西洋有个性：有时安静，有时野蛮等，把这些用来描绘人的词汇用来描写大西洋，所以此处把大西洋比喻成了一个有血有肉的人。答案 B1江西崇义县 2017 高考英语（一轮）阅读理解编练阅读理解-。阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的 A,B,C 或 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。Many people believe Henry Ford invented the automobile (汽车)．But Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until 1896.That was eleven years after two Germans developed the world's first automobile.Many people believe Henry Ford invented the production line that moved a car's parts to the worker，instead of making the worker move to the parts.That is not true，either.Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford.What Henry Ford did was to use other people's ideas and make them better.And he made the whole factory a moving production line.In the early days of the automobile，almost every car maker raced his cars.It was the best way of gaining public notice.Henry Ford decided to build a racing car.Ford's most famous race was his first one.It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself.The race was in 1901，at a field near Detroit.All of the most famous cars had entered, but only two were left：the Winton and Ford's.The Winton was famous for its speed.Most people thought the race was over before it began.The Winton took an early lead.But halfway through the race, it began to lose power.Ford started to gain.And near the end of the race, he took the lead.Ford won the race and defeated the Winton.His name appeared in newspapers and he became well­known all over the United States.Within weeks of the race, Henry Ford formed a new automobile company.In 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company.That_sale was the beginning of Henry Ford's dream.Ford said: “I will build a motor car for the great mass of people.It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for one person to operate and care for.It will be built of the best materials.It will be built by the best men to be employed.And it will be built with the simplest plans that modern engineering can produce.It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one.”The Model T was a car of that kind.It only cost $850.It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on.Doctors bought the Model T．So did farmers.Even criminals. They considered it the fastest and surest form of transportation.Americans loved the Model T．They wrote stories and songs about it.Thousands of Model T's were built in the first few years.本文记叙了亨利福特充分利用别人的想法，生产出了自己的汽车，形成了自己的生产流水线。通过赛车比赛，使公众关注到自己的汽车，然后建立了自己的汽车公司，为所有的普通顾客生产汽车。1．What do we know about Henry Ford from Paragraph 1?A．He made good use of ideas from others.B．He produced the first car in the world.C．He knew how to improve auto parts.2D．He invented the production line.答案：A。细节理解题。根据短文第一段倒数第二句话可知：福特所做的就是利用别人的想法，然后更好地利用。2．Why did Henry Ford take part in the 1901 car race?A．To show off his driving skills. B．To draw public attention.C．To learn about new technology. D．To raise money for his new company.答案：B。细节理解题。根据短文第二段可知，开始时，每个汽车制造者都开赛车，并且这是引人注意的最好方法。因此他制造自己的赛车，进行比赛，目的是引人注意。3． “That sale” in Paragraph 4 refers to______.A．the selling of Ford cars at reduced pricesB．the sale of Model T to the mass of peopleC．the selling of a car to a Detroit doctorD．the sales target for the Ford Company答案：C。词义猜测题。由上一句话“In 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company”可知，that sale 指代的是医生买车这件事。4．What was Henry Ford's dream according to the text?A．Producing cars for average customers.B．Building racing cars of simple design.C．Designing more car models.D．Starting more companies.答案：A。细节理解题。由短文倒数第二段及最后一段可知，他造的车价格低，能挣钱的人都能买得起他的车，医生，农民甚至罪犯都买他的车。由此可知他的梦想就是为普通老百姓造车。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项。You need to be of a certain age to understand why so many people in Hollywood are caring about the possible closing down of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (米高梅电影公司)．For the past 40 years, its output has been good, but now it is on the ropes, with debts of $ 3.7 billion and will have to sell off its most valuable assets (资产).In its golden time, MGM stood for something．If Warner Brothers meant social dramas and gangster movies, and Disney meant cartoon films, then MGM was healthy fantasy．This business model found its most glorious expression in its musicals (音乐剧) of the post-war era．It also featured such many famous stars as Fred Astaire, Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly and Judy 3Garland.But MGM had always put its hopes on the quality of stars it could attract．From the time MGM became a company in 1924, the studio and his associate proved themselves good at creating big names.For 35 years, this worked well enough, but the growing power of television disturbed Hollywood．MGM continued to throw money into making gorgeous-looking musicals, but despite some big successes audiences gradually started to drift away．Throughout the sixties, MGM's decline set in．Things went from bad to worse．In 1973, MGM stopped distributing its own films．Since then, the Lion's roar has been reduced to a whimper (呜咽).How far MGM has fallen can be shown by its recent releases．This was a studio that for years offered a reliable supply of first-class films．Yet last year its total output was three．To make it worse, all were co-produced with other studios．And this year? Only one so far, and maybe the last.What now? MGM will probably be sold, though recent buyers have been cautious about a price thought to be around $ 2 billion.1. MGM is becoming the focus in Hollywood because it _______．A. has more supporters B. has produced good filmsC. might be closed down D. has lost all its assets2. What can we learn about MGM from the text?A. It has been sold out for around $ 2 billion.B. The Internet was a factor causing its decline.C. It only produced three films by itself last year.D. It made a wrong decision for its development.3. What's the main idea of the text?A. The past glories of MGM． B. The musicals made by MGM.C. The decline of MGM． D. A historical decision by MGM.【参考答案】1—3、CDC 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。41. Six Hours Free ParkingIf you spend $ 100 or more in our stores you will receive six hours of free parking.

A．Blue. B．Light yellow.C．Red. D．Dark reddish purple.解析 细节理解题。根据第一个标题下的“.it's more of a dark reddish purple colour.”可知答案。答案 D2．Why do some old people look a little shrunken as they age?A．Because their spine is in active use.B．Because they are more easily affected by gravity.C．Because they keep growing backwards.D．Because their spine becomes more bent.解析 细节理解题。根据第四个标题下的“They simply lose height as their spine(脊柱) becomes shorter and more curved due to disuse and the effects of gravity(重力)． ”可知，老年人变矮是因为脊柱收缩和弯曲造成的。答案 D3．Which of the following statements about our brain is true?A．In the long run，our brain probably works harder than our heart.B．When our brain senses the spinning，we will feel dizzy.C．The brains of the other mammals are as complex as those of humans.D．Our feelings and emotions come from the most developed area in our brain.解析 细节理解题。根据第二个标题下的第三句“But，in the long run，your brain.”可知答案为A 项。此题最易误选 B 项，根据第五个标题下的最后一句可知，眩晕是由于 “你已经不动了，而你的大脑认为你还在动”的错觉引起的。答案 A4．What is the main purpose of the selection?A．To give advice on how to stay healthy.B．To provide information about our body.C．To challenge new findings in medical research.D．To report the latest discoveries in medical science.解析 写作意图题。考生易误选 D 项，但是在医学领域，概括失误。文章主要涉及我们身体的问题，包括身体的、情绪的等等。故选择 B 项较全面。答案 B8
