82、land area”可知，如果藻类燃料全部代替美国的石油燃料，所需土地比马里兰州的面积多一些，而该州面积仅居全美国42位。联系本段第一句的“.it would take half the land mass of the US. to grow those soybeans.”可知，生产藻类燃料仅需很少的土地。4. 解析：选A。推理判断题。根据第四段第二句“Smokestack emissions can.of the atmosphere”可知，烟囱排放物能够直接排入养殖着藻类的池塘，既向藻类提供了养料，又防止了温室气体污染大气。可见，藻类对保护环境有利。5. 解析：选D。主旨大意题。本文介
83、绍了一种颇具前景的藻类能源，重点分析了这种新能源的优势。注意第一段第一句的关键词alternative。6. 解析：选D。细节理解题。根据文章第一段，查尔斯王子改变生活方式的途径是：乘班机和火车，不再乘污染严重的喷气式飞机和直升机。7. 解析：选A。推理判断题。从文章第二段查尔斯王子对商界一连串的发问中可以看出他的不满。8. 解析：选C。细节理解题。由第五段“Duchy Originals.is taking steps to quantify how much carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas is emitted.”其中quantify 作动词
84、用，意为“量化”，同C项的figure out(计算出)意思接近，因此C项正确。9. 解析：选B。词义理解题。根据语境判断，此处短语指的是我们对环境的破坏，查尔斯王子形象地把它比喻成我们“对地球的最大欠账”。10. 解析：选A。标题选择题。文章介绍英国的查尔斯王子准备为环保事业身体力行，改变自己的生活方式，以减少温室气体的排放，因此A项最能体现文章的中心。B项是“亡羊补牢，为时未晚”的意思，文中有一定的信息，但不是全文的中心；C项仅仅体现出“关心”，而没有体现行动；D项指的是整个王室，而没有紧扣查尔斯王子的行为。 Zhang Ming. 15.

During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a womans life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of
147、 the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a fur
148、ther twenty years, during which customs, opportunity and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a womans youngest child will be fifteen when she is fortyfive and can be expected to live another thirtyfive years and is likely to tak
