19、As a child, I remember playing among the golden bamboo my dad had planted, and when there was a slight wind, the bamboos sounded really musical.” A fisheries biologist, Heinricher, 47, planned to work in the salmon industry in Seattle, where she lived with her husband, Guy Thornburgh, but she found
20、it too competitive. Then her garden gave her the idea for a business: Shed planted 20 bamboo forests on their seven-acre farm. Heinricher started Boo-Shoot Gardens in 1998. She realized early on what is just now beginning to be known to the rest of the world. It can be used to make fishing poles, sk
21、ateboards, buildings, furniture, floors, and even clothing. An added bonus: Bamboo absorbs four times as much carbon dioxide as a group of hardwood trees and releases 35 percent more oxygen.First she had to find a way to mass-produce the plantsa tough task, since bamboo flowers create seed only once
22、 every 50 to 100 years. And dividing a bamboo plant frequently kills it.Heinricher appealed to Randy Burr, a tissue culture expert, to help her. “People kept telling us wed never figure it out,” says Heinricher. “Others had worked on it for 27 years! I believed in what we were doing, though, so I ju
23、st kept going.”She was right to feel a sense of urgency. Bamboo forests are being rapidly used up, and a United Nations report showed that even though bamboo is highly renewable, as many as half of the worlds species are threatened with dying out. Heinricher knew that bamboo could make a significant
24、 impact on carbon emissions (排放) and world economies, but only if huge numbers could be produced. And thats just what she and Burr figured out after nine years of experimentsa way to grow millions of plants. By placing cuttings in test tubes with salts, vitamins, plant hormones, and seaweed gel, the
25、y got the plants to grow and then raised them in soil in greenhouses.Not long after it, Burrs lab hit financial difficulties. Heinricher had no experience running a tissue culture operation, but she wasnt prepared to quit. So she bought the lab.Today Heinricher heads up a profitable multimillion-dol
26、lar company, working on species from all over the world and selling them to wholesalers. “If you want to farm bamboo, its hard to do without the young plants, and thats what we have,” she says proudly. 56. What was the main problem with planting bamboo widely?A. They didnt have enough young bamboo.
27、B. They were short of money and experience. C. They didnt have a big enough farm to do it.D. They were not understood by other people.57. What does Heinricher think of bamboo?来源:学科网A. Renewable and acceptableB. Productive and flexible.C. Useful and earth-friendly. D. Strong and profitable. 58. The u
28、nderlined word “renewable” in Paragraph 6 probably means “_”.A. able to be replaced naturally B. able to be raised difficultlyC. able to be shaped easily D. able to be recycled conveniently 59. What do you learn from the passage?A. Heinrichers love for bamboo led to her experiments in the lab.B. Hei
29、nrichers determination helped her to succeed in her work. C. Heinricher struggled to prevent bamboo from disappearing. D. Heinricher finally succeeded in realizing her childhood dream.BIf you enjoyed the spring-like sunshine over the weekend and thought the weather has finally turned a corner, youre
30、 sadly mistaken.Chilly (寒冷的) days and grey clouds are forecast for the weekmaking it far too early to pack away the winter woollies.Temperatures will struggle to rise above zero at night and fail to make double figures during the day.People enjoy the spring sunshine in Sefton Park, Aigburth, Liverpo
31、ol. Forecasters have predicted a return to chilly weather this week.Met Office forecaster Charlie said, “It was a nice, dry, bright weekend in many parts and Monday is going to be a similar affair for many.”来源:Zxxk.Com“Temperatures will be between 5and 8, which is below average for the start of spri
32、ng.”The sun will disappear from the south of the country after today, with dry but cloudy conditions forecast for tomorrow and Wednesday. Wednesday will be warmest of the three, with temperatures peaking at 9.But this is still two degrees below the March average for the district.Overnight, temperatu
33、res will drop sharply, with lows of minus 3for the next three nights. “It will generally stay on the cold side of average,” said Mr. Powell.The March misery comes at the end of the coldest winter for more than 30 years. Temperatures in December, January and February struggled to stay above zero, wit
34、h the UKs average 1.5, making it the deepest freeze since 197879.It claimed there was just a one-in-seven chance of a cold December to February.The agency also sadly predicted a “barbecue summer”, saying it was “quite optimistic” that it would be warmer and drier than average.Following the two mista
35、kes, the Met Office has dropped its long-range seasonal forecasts and will instead publish a monthly prediction for Britain, updated once a week.In its defense, it says that while short-term forecasts are extremely accurate, Britains size and geographical position makes long-term predictions much mo
36、re challenging.It also points out that it gave warning of any heavy falls of snow this winter.60. According to the passage, the weather on Tuesday in the south might be _.A. dry but cloudy B. sunny but chilly C. sunny and warm D. cloudy and chilly61. Which of the following statements is true accordi
37、ng to the passage? A. British people can put away their winter clothes now. B. The Met Office has shortened its forecast range. C. The weather forecast becomes more and more accurate. D. The agency was quite confident of long-term predictions.62. Which of the following would be the best title for th
38、e passage?A. The big chill isnt over yet B. A warm spring finally arrivesC. A heavy snow is on the way D. The Met Office drops forecasts63. From the passage, we can conclude _.A. the weather report is more and more importantB. British people become worried about bad weather C. Britain has just exper
39、ienced a very freezing winter D. The Met Office can always predict any heavy snow falls accurately CTwo Earthquakes in Two Months: Comparing the Quakes in Haiti (海地) and Chile (智利)Overview (概要) How do the earthquakes in Chile and Haiti compare? Here, students perform a gallery walk to learn more abo
40、ut the earthquakes from a specific point, and then do a specific research and presentation project or response activity. Finally, they seek answers to their unanswered questions. Materials Print copies of photographs, charts, documents and other visuals to display, as described below; computer (s) w
41、ith Internet access (optional), research materials, handouts.Warm-up Choose and prepare a “gallery” of photographs, graphics, news reports and other materials to display around the room to enable students to consider the 2010 earthquake in Chile. Depending on course program, choose materials for the
42、 gallery that provide a window on the two quakes, through one of the following specific points, or the focus of your choice:Earthquakes through History Putting the 2010 Chilean and Haitian quakes into historical view related to other earthquakes, including the 1960 Chilean quake and the 2004 Asian e
43、arthquake and tsunami.Rescue and Aid Considering domestic and international response to the disasters by militaries, governments and aid organizations, including rescue and recovery as well as efforts to provide food, water, health care and shelter to those affected.Related The article Underwater Pl
44、ate Cuts 400 Mile Gash compares several earthquakes:Mr. Lin figured that the quake on Saturday was 250 to 350 times more powerful than the Haitian quake.来源:学科网ZXXKBut Paul Caruso noted that at least on land, the effects of the Chilean tremor (震动) might not be as bad. For one thing, he said, the qual
45、ity of building construction is generally better in Chile than in Haiti. And the fact that the quake occurred offshore should also help limit the destruction. In Haiti, the rupture (断裂) occurred only a few miles from the capital, Port-au-Prince. The rupture on Saturday was centered about 60 miles fr
46、om the nearest town, Chillan, and 70 miles from the countrys second-largest city, Concepcin. Read the article using the following questions.Questions For discussion with others and reading comprehension: How does the 2010 Chilean earthquake compare to the 1960 Chilean earthquake? Why do scientists b
47、elieve that the 2010 Chilean earthquake will not cause the same level of damage as Januarys Haitian earthquake did?How does the 2010 Chilean earthquake compare to the 2004 Indonesian earthquake?What reasons do scientists give to explain why the Indonesian quake caused so much more damage than the re
48、cent Chilean earthquake?64. Which of the following shows one of the reasons for slighter losses in Chile than in Haiti? A. Position: B. Power:65. We can infer that the article Underwater Plate Cuts 400 Mile Gash includes _. A. the causes of the 2010 Chilean earthquake and the 1960 Chilean earthquake
49、B. the comparison between the 2010 Haitian and the 2004 Indonesian earthquakesC. the reason for the 2010 Chilean quake being more powerful than Januarys Haitian earthquakeD. the reason for less damage in the 2010 Chilean quake than in the 2004 Indonesian earthquake66. What is the passage most likely
50、 to be? A. A program for research. B. A guide to earthquake study.C. An advertisement for students.D. An introduction to quakes.DQuickly, the picture comes alive with hyperlinks (超链接), offering the names of the buildings, towers and street features that appear in the photo. The hyperlinks lead to in
51、formation about the history, services and context of all the features in the photo. You have just hyperlinked your reality.That might be a little unbelievable, but the technology exists and is no fevered imagination. This is not a cool small machine invented for the next James Bond movie; this is a
52、working technology just developed by European researchers. It could be coming to a phone near you, and soon.This, as the marketing types say, is a game changer. It develops a completely new interface (界面) that combines web-technology with the real world. It is big and fresh, but it goes much further
53、 and has much greater influence. The development of the system is most outstanding because image recognition technology has long been pregnant with promise, but seemed to suffer from an unending labour.Now MOBVIS has not only developed image recognition; it has also developed more applications for t
54、he technology; and it has adapted it to the worlds most popular technology: the mobile phone.The MOBVIS system completely rewrites the rules for exploration and interaction with your physical environment. The system begins with panoramas (一连串景象). These panoramas form the basis of a city database. It
55、 can match buildings, towers, banners and even logos that appear in the panoramas. A user simply takes a picture of the street feature, MOBVIS compares the users photograph to the panoramas and then identifies the buildings from the picture you take and the relevant links are returned. Then you simp
56、ly click on the links, using a touch-screen phone, and the MOBVIS system will provide information on the history, art, architecture or even the menu, if it is a restaurant, of the building in question.67. Which is introduced in the passage?A. A new game software. B. A popular mobile phone.C. A cool
57、small machine. D. An image recognition system.68. What can we learn about the new technology?A. It can only be put into use on mobile phones.B. It is a little unbelievable and just a fevered imagination. C. It has taken an unending labor to bring the technology into our lives. D. It will encourage t
58、he users to take more pictures of the street features. 69. What is the right order of the operation of MOBVIS?a. A city database forms in the system.b. MOBVIS recognizes the picture and links are returned.c. A user touches the links on the phone screen.d. A user takes a picture of the street feature
59、. e. MOBVIS provides information in question. A. a; e; c; d; b; B. a; d; b; c; eC. d; c; e; a; bD. c; a; e; b; d70. From the passage, we can infer that _.A. MOBVIS has already been widely used all over the worldB. the writer is trying to promote the sales of the MOBVIS systemC. this new technology w

Waste-to-energy plants generat
61、e (产生) enough electricity to supply 2.4 million households in the US. But, providing electricity is not the major advantage of waste-to-energy plants. In fact, it costs more to generate electricity at a waste-to-energy plant than it does at a coal, nuclear, or hydropower plant. The major advantage o
62、f burning waste is that it considerably reduces the amount of trash going to landfills. The average American produces more than 1,600 pounds of waste a year. If all this waste were landfilled, it would take more than two cubic yards of landfill space. Thats the volume of a box three feet long, three
63、 feet wide, and six feet high. If that waste were burned, the ashes would fit into a box three feet long, three feet wide, but only nine inches high! Some communities in the Northeast may be running out of land for new landfills. And, since most people dont want landfills in their backyards, it has
64、become more difficult to obtain permits to build new landfills. Taking the country as a whole, the United States has plenty of open space, of course, but it is expensive to transport garbage a long distance to put it into a landfill. TO BURN OR NOT TO BURN? Some people are concerned that burning gar
65、bage may harm the environment. Like coal plants, waste-to-energy plants produce air pollution when the fuel is burned to produce steam or electricity. Burning garbage releases the chemicals and substances found in the waste. Some chemicals can be a threat to people, the environment, or both, if they
66、 are not properly controlled. Some critics of waste-to-energy plants are afraid that burning waste will hamper (妨碍，阻碍) recycling programs. If everyone sends their trash to a waste-to-energy plant, they say, there will be little motive to recycle. Several states have considered or are considering ban
67、ning waste-to-energy plants unless recycling programs are in place. Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York City have delayed new waste-to-energy plants, hoping to increase the level of recycling first. So, whats the real story? Can recycling and burning waste coexist? At first glance, recycling and
68、 waste-to-energy seem to be at odds (不一致), but they can actually complement (弥补) each other. Thats because it makes good sense to recycle some materials, and better sense to burn others. Lets look at aluminum, for example. Aluminum mineral is so expensive to mine that recycling aluminum more than pa
69、ys for itself. Burning it produces no energy. So clearly, aluminum is valuable to recycle and not useful to burn. Paper, on the other hand, can either be burned or recycledit all depends on the price the used paper will bring. Plastics are another matter. Because plastics are made from petroleum and
70、 natural gas, they are excellent sources of energy for waste-to-energy plants. This is especially true since plastics are not as easy to recycle as steel, aluminum, or paper. Plastics almost always have to be hand sorted and making a product from recycled plastics may cost more than making it from n
71、ew materials. To burn or not to burn is not really the question. We should use both recycling and waste-to-energy as alternatives to landfilling.

Obviously, birds have lost their homes as people have cut down all the trees. As a result, humans have lost their animal friends.The scene
78、 may seem ridiculous and unbelievable to us, but it may become a reality in the future if we go on developing economy regardless of the damage caused to the environment. Now in some places, trees have been cut down without limits. Some scientists say that there will be no vast forests in 20 or 30 years and many species will die out. It is really a terrible thing. Therefore, we should realize the importance of environmental protection and live in harmony with our animal friends. .高考资源网w。w-w*k&s%5￥u高考资源网w。w-w*k&s%5￥u
