16、 lives in Malawi, Africa, where most people have to grow their own food and have no electricity or running water. In 2001, when he was 14 years old, there was a terrible drought (干旱) and most families, including Williams, couldnt grow enough food.Because of the drought, Williams family couldnt affor
17、d to send him to school anymore. So one day, William went to the library near his home to study. He found a science book called Using Energy, which included instructions for building a windmill (风车). Windmills are good sources of electricity, and they can bring water up from underground. William did
18、nt know much English, and he wasnt able to understand most of the book, but it was full of pictures. Looking at the pictures, William thought he could build a windmill for his family.When William started building his windmill, a lot of people laughed at him，including his mother. But William saw the
19、photo of the windmill in the book. That meant someone else was able to build it, so he knew he could build it, too. He didnt have the parts and equipment that he saw in the books pictures. So he looked for parts in junkyards to build his machine.William changed his design little by little. First, th
20、e windmill powered only one light bulb (灯泡). Finally, it powered four lights. Then there was enough electricity for four lights and a radio. No one laughed at William after that, and people in his town started to come to his house to get power for their cell phones. Later, William built a second win
21、dmill. This one brought water up from underground. After that, William began to teach other people how to build windmills.Now he uses his website, movingwindmills. org, to educate and give hope to people. His main message is this：“To the Africans and the poor who are struggling (挣扎) with your dreams
22、. trust yourself and believe. Whatever happens, dont give up.”24What was Williams primary purpose of building a windmill?ATo set up a family business.BTo do a science experiment.CTo realize his childhood dream.DTo bring electricity to his family.25What was Williams mothers attitude toward his buildi

DUninterested.26What can we learn about Williams first windmill?AIt was sold at a high price.BIt was made of thrownaway things.CIt could bring water up from underground.DIt looked the same as the photo in Using Energy.27Which of the following can
24、best describe William?AHonest. BHumorous.CSelfcentered. DStrongminded.CWhen most people hear the words “Big Ben” they immediately think of the attractive Victorian Gothic structure of the clock tower of the Palace of Westminster. Lets clear up a common misunderstanding first; technically speaking, t
25、he name “Big Ben” does not refer to the famous tower, nor to the four huge clock faces of this London landmark; instead, it refers to the largest one of the five bells inside the clock tower.Construction of the tower was begun following the disastrous fire which destroyed the old Palace of Westminst
26、er in 1834. Charles Barry was responsible for rebuilding the Palace, and his designs included a clock tower.It took 16 years to build the clock tower of the Palace of Westminster and it was completed in 1859. The tower is 316 feet high. The spire of the tower is built with an iron frame, and it is t
27、his frame that supports the weight of the bells. Several small rooms are built into the lower part of the tower, including a small prison cell.The iron frame of the clock face was designed by AW Pugin, who was responsible for many of the Gothic decorative elements of the Palace of Westminster. The d
28、ials are 23 feet in diameter and the faces themselves are not solid, but are made up of many small pieces of opal glass, like a glass window. Several of the central pieces of glass can be removed to make it easier for people to check the hands of the clock from inside.At the time of its construction
29、 the clock movement was easily the largest in the world, and it is still among the largest today. The clock, designed by Edmund Beckett Denison, has proven to be very accurate over the years.Big Benthe hour bellis said to have been named after Sir Benjamin Hall, who was known for his great size, as
30、is the bell! The first Big Ben hour bell was completed before the tower, so the bell was hung in New Palace Yard. After repeated public ringing the bell cracked and had to be replaced by the current bell.28The name “Big Ben” actually refers to _.Athe famous tower Bthe huge clock facesCthe biggest be

33、wDIgnore what they say about TV rotting your brainour research found that many people are using television shows as both a form of entertainment and a way to help them learn English. One of the best ways to teach and to learn how to speak the English language is to actually watch American and Britis
34、h television shows and some learning channels.We were interested in discovering what English learners are watching to help them improve their skills outside of the classroom. US political drama series House of Cards was the most popular TV show among our 6,000 global survey participants, particularl
35、y in China, South Korea and India.

37、shows of all time. The show, which explores the lives of an aristocratic (贵族的) British family and their servants during the early twentieth century, has been watched by more than 120 million people worldwide. Downtowns creators didnt expect the subject matter to resonate (引起共鸣) so well with global v
38、iewers, but most of the stories are about emotional situations that everyone can relate to, no matter where they are in the world.Television programs may be a fun way to improve vocabularies and build familiarity with genuine dialogue and different cultures, but in recent years there have been compl
39、aints (抱怨) that actors are mumbling (含糊地说) their way through their lines. Even native English speakers are struggling to understand what they are watching on screen. This is partly down to the desire for actors to appear “genuine” and capture the true feature of a character.32Why has the drama serie
40、s House of Cards become so popular?ABecause it is only shown on TV.BBecause its stories interest everyone.CBecause it is about the life of the British aristocracy.DBecause audiences can watch it online without waiting.33What has been the problem with language learning through television programs in

83、e Health Club部分的“Handball courts, tennis courts, golf practice range (instruction available for each of these games)”可知，在该健身中心你可以进行球类运动。23答案与解析：C细节理解题。由这四个健身中心的地址可知，它们都位于伯灵顿。B【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。文章介绍了做风车的马拉维少年William Kamkwamba。24答案与解析：D推理判断题。由第一段中的“have no electricity or running water”可知，威廉生活的地方非常苦；由第二段解释风
84、车的作用“good sources of electricity”以及第四段描述威廉设计的第一个风车的功效“powered. lights”可知，他做风车的初衷是给家里发电。25答案与解析：C推理判断题。由第三段中的“a lot of people laughed at him, including his mother”可知，一开始妈妈不看好威廉能做出风车。26答案与解析：B细节理解题。由第三段中的“He didnt have the parts and equipment that he saw in the books pictures. So he looked for parts i
85、n junkyards to build his machine.”可知，威廉的第一个风车是由废弃的东西做的。27答案与解析：D推理判断题。由第三段描述很多人嘲笑威廉做不成风车，但他却仍然充满信心，以及最后一段中他鼓励人们不要放弃梦想“Whatever happens, dont give up.”可知，他是一个意志坚定的人。C【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国的大本钟，分别从钟楼和钟的建造等方面进行了详细介绍。28答案与解析：C细节理解题。根据第一段中“Lets clear up a common misunderstanding first; technically speak
86、ing, the name Big Ben does not refer to the famous tower, nor to the four huge clock faces of this London landmark; instead, it refers to the largest one of the five bells inside the clock tower.”可知让我们先澄清一个常见的误区；严格地说，“大本钟”这个名字并不是指这座著名的塔，也不是指这个伦敦地标的四个巨大的钟面；而它指的是钟楼里五个钟中最大的一个。由此可知，“大本钟”这个名字实际上指的是里面最大的钟
87、。故选C。29答案与解析：C细节理解题。根据第三段中“ The tower is 316 feet high.”可知钟楼高316英尺。由此可知，钟楼有300多英尺高。故选C。30答案与解析：D细节理解题。根据第四段中“The dials are 23 feet in diameter and the faces themselves are not solid, but are made up of many small pieces of opal glass, like a glass window.
