36、ch regulates the amount of power, and this is based on the drivers use of an accelerator pedal. The electric car (also known as electric vehicle or EV) uses energy stored in its rechargeable batteries, which are recharged by common household electricity.Unlike a hybrid car, which is fueled by gasoli

37、ne and uses a battery and motor to improve efficiency, an electric car is powered exclusively by electricity. Historically, EVs have not been widely adopted because of limited driving range before needing to be recharged, long recharging time, and a lack of commitment by automakers to produce and ma

38、rket electric cars that have all the comforts of gaspowered cars. Thats changing. As battery technology improves by simultaneously increasing energy storage and reducing cost, major automakers are expected to introduce a new generation of electric cars.Electric cars produce no tailpipe emissions, re

39、duce our dependency on oil, and are cheaper to operate. Of course, the process of producing the electricity moves the emissions further upstream to the utility companys smokestack, but even dirty electricity used in electric cars usually reduce our collective carbon footprint.Another factor is conve

40、nience. In one trip to the gas station, you can pump 330 kilowatthours of energy into a 10gallon tank. It would take about 9 days to get the same amount of energy from household electric current. Fortunately, it takes hours and not days to recharge an electric car, because the process is much more e

41、fficient.Just as the major car companies were reducing their electric car programs in 2004 and 2005, the perfect storm was brewing on the horizon: a combination of growing acceptance of global warming, oil price increases and runaway sales of the Toyota Prius, a hybrid car which uses gas and electri

42、city. The major auto companies went right back to the drawing board and emerged with big plans for electric cars. As global oil supplies are used up and oil becomes more and more expensive, electric cars are the logical and ecological alternative for the future.()58. Which of the following was a rea

45、e! A new study out of Japan shows that people who drink both beverages every day have a lower risk of stroke than those who drink just one or the other (or neither)Researchers have been touting(宣称) the antioxidant(抗氧化剂) properties of green tea for years, and recent studies show that your daily coffe

46、e fix boosts more than just your energy levels. But putting the two drinks togethernot in the same cup, of coursemay help you reap the health benefits of both.Researchers looked at the coffee and tea consumption habits of almost 82,369 Japanese adults over 13 years and found that people who had a cu

47、p of coffee every day were 20 percent less likely to have a stroke (compared to those who didnt drink coffee at all). But thats not to say that coffee is better for you than tea. In fact, the study noted that people who drank four or more cups of green tea a day were also about 20 percent less likel

48、y to have a stroke. Since the two drinks help prevent strokes in different ways, drinking both can lower your risk of stroke more than just drinking one or the other, the study authors explained.“This is the first largescale study to examine the combined effects of both green tea and coffee on strok

49、e risks,” the studys lead author, Dr Yoshihiro Kokubo of Japans National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, said in a statement. “You may make a small but positive lifestyle change to help lower the risk of stroke by adding daily green tea to your diet.”The study was published this week in the Amer

50、ican Heart Associations journal, Stroke. The results took into account differences in participants age, gender, smoking, alcohol, weight, diet, and exercise habits.According to the National Stroke Association, a stroke occurs when a blood clot(血块) blocks an artery in the brain, or when a blood vesse

51、l breaks, causing an interruption of blood flow to the brain. Brain cells begin to die, damaging the brain and affecting the actionsusually speech, movement, and memorycontrolled by the part of the brain where the stroke has occurred.“The regular action of drinking tea and coffee largely benefits ca

52、rdiovascular(心血管的) health because it partly keeps blood clots from forming,” Kokubo explained.Green tea can have an antiinflammatory effect on the body. It also contains compounds known as catechins, which can help regulate blood pressure and improve blood flow, Kokobo told National Public Radio. An

53、d coffee has more to it than just caffeineit also contains quinides, compounds that can help control blood sugar, which cuts your risk of stroke by reducing your risk of Type 2 diabetes. The researchers wrote that the “combination of higher green tea and coffee consumptions contributed to the reduce

54、d risk of stroke as an interaction effect for each other,” The Daily Mail reported.Given that tea and coffee are consumed regularly in many countries, the results of the study could apply to people around the world, the researchers wrote. Americans may already be drinking enough coffee and tea to ge

55、t the benefits: A typical cup of coffee or tea in Japan is just 6 ounces, while a grand coffee at Starbucks is 16 ounces.()61. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. If you like you may mix green tea and coffee together and drink it.B. Coffee is better than green tea i

56、n reducing the risk of having a stroke.C. Green tea and coffee are probably the best treatment for stroke.D. Drinking tea and coffee regularly can do good to cardiovascular health.()62. Which of the following is the new finding of the recent research?A. Tea and Coffee function differently for people

57、s health.B. Americans drink more coffee and tea daily than Japanese.C. Green tea contains antioxidant which is good for preventing strokes.D. Coffee contains caffeine and catechins which can help control blood sugar.()63. The underlined word “boosts” in the second paragraph probably means _A. keeps

58、B. changes C. improves D. influences()64. What is the passage mainly about?A. Coffee and tea can help prevent a stroke.B. Coffee and tea can reduce Type 2 diabetes.C. Coffee and tea have a lot to do with a stroke.D. Coffee and tea keep blood clots from forming.DThomas had achieved fame as a poet in

59、the 1930s and had spent World War Two in London writing propaganda(宣传) films. But by 1946, after the end of the war, he needed a regular income to support his wife Caitlin, and children Llewelyn and Aeronwy. Luckily he had a new admirer in the form of Margaret Taylor, wife of noted historian and bro

60、adcaster AJ.P. Taylor. Introduced as an “entertaining guest” by a mutual friend, he had succeeded in charming Mrs Taylor, who put the family up in a summerhouse in their garden in the grounds of Magdalen College(牛津大学莫德林学院)Thomas had a lovehate relationship with Oxford, according to his biographer An

61、drew Lycett. His poetry may have brought him respect and celebrity in literary circles, but in Oxford he felt at odds with his surroundings. “His father, who had been a schoolmaster in Swansea, would have liked him to go to Oxford University,” Mr Lycett explains. “When he did actually get to Oxford

62、he wasnt actually at the university. It was a curious period. He was in this academic environment though he wasnt a born academic himself. But he generally enjoyed himself because he got to know some of the professors there. He wasnt popular among them, because they thought he was a bit of a wastrel

63、(不务正业者), so he hung out in pubs and met students.”Thomas also took paid jobs at the BBC, regularly travelling to London and became something of a celebrity through appearing on panel shows.“He didnt really endear(使受垂青) himself to Professor Taylor,” Mr Lycett says. “He_overstayed_his_welcome. The pro

64、fessor liked to have a barrel of beer in the house and Dylan would finish it off. He just took a dislike to him, partly because, reading between the lines, his wife rather fancied this young man.” Mark Davies, an Oxford historian, says Professor Taylor disliked the poet “intensely”. “He ended up bei

65、ng banished(驱逐) a safe distance away from his wife,” he adds.This banishment was in the picturesque village of South Leigh, nine miles out from the city, in a house set up for Thomas by Margaret, who continued to be his proud sponsor. However, it was here that his granddaughter Hannah Ellis believes

66、 Thomas found much of the inspiration for one of his most famous works, the radio drama Under Milk Wood. “South Leigh is hugely important because that was one of those villages where he met all the different characters and it helped him arouse his passion,” she says. “The play had been a seed from w

67、hen he was about 20 and I think it was that village lifestyle and all the characters that helped. He liked sitting in the corner of the pub, watching all the drama going on. Also he had somewhere quiet to work and a home. For such a long time he hadnt settled and it was a good period in his life.”Mr

68、s Taylor also helped him return to Wales when he was ready in 1949, buying him a boathouse with her own money. He lived there for the remainder of his life.“People so often focus on the other periods of his life and they forget about Oxford,” adds Ms. Ellis. “They see the romantic period of living i

69、n Laugharne at the boathouse, and the contrast of the chaotic times in New York.”“Theres just something interesting about this little Welshman wandering around the streets of Oxford,” adds Mr Lycett. “The period isnt discussed much. Somehow or other there was this intervening period that tends to ge

70、t forgotten. People dont realize he was starting to think about Under Milk Wood so it wasnt unproductive. His time in Oxford was an important period of his life.”Indeed Mr Davies believes Thomass connection to Oxford would be better known if he had studied at the university. “Because he didnt and he

71、 was only here as a guest of the college it has been brushed to one side,” he said. “There are some great historical characters who, because theyre not associated with the university, have been pushed sideways out of history.”A new tour, organized by Literature Wales, aims to make this clear. Its tr

72、ail takes in the poets summerhouse, and the village that became his home. It means the city will finally take the time to remember and treasure one more person in its long line of literary giants.()65. Which of the following is TRUE about Thomas life in Oxford?A. Most of his works were created there

73、.B. He wasnt popular among students there.C. Professors didnt think he was academic enough.D. Knowing professors there brought him respect.()66. What does the underlined sentence “He overstayed his welcome.” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. He stayed much longer than he had planned to.B. He behaved inappropri

74、ately so that he was no longer welcome.C. He decided to return to Wales because he was more popular there.D. He was thinking about moving to South Leigh he had been dreaming of.()67. What inspired Thomas to write Under Milk Road?A. Studying at Oxford. B. Living in South Leigh.C. Living with the Tayl

Anyone who has reached a cer

78、tain agein some cases as low as 55is automatically entitled to dazzling array of price reductions at nearly every level of commercial life. Eligibility(资格) is determined not by ones need but by the date on ones birth certificate. Practically unheard of a generation ago, the discounts have become a r

79、outine part of many businessesas common as color televisions in motel rooms and free coffee on airliners.People with gray hair often are given the discounts without even asking for them; yet, millions of Americans above age 60 are healthy and solvent (有支付能力的). Businesses that would never dare offer

80、discounts to college students or anyone under 30 freely offer them to older Americans.The practice is acceptable because of the widespread belief that “elderly” and “needy” are synonymous(同义的). Perhaps that once was true, but today elderly Americans as a group have a lower poverty rate than the rest

81、 of the population. To be sure, there is economic diversity within the elderly, and many older Americans are poor. But most of them arent.It is impossible to determine the impact of the discounts on individual companies. For many firms, they are a stimulus to revenue. But in other cases the discount

82、s are given at the expense, directly or indirectly, of younger Americans. Moreover, they are a direct irritant(刺激物) in what some politicians and scholars see as a coming conflict between the generations.Generational tensions are being fueled by continuing debate over Social Security benefits, which

In an onair editorial address Tuesday morning, _(这是边文,请据需要手工删加)(十六) 听力HJ0.8mm15 BCABC 610 BCCAB1115 CBCBC 1620 ABACC 单项填空2

97、1.A 解析:考查动词短语。A项意为“自讨苦吃”;B项意为“申请”;C项意为“因而受罚;对负责”;D项意为“说明的原因;占(比例)”。根据句意可知A项正确。句意:这次旅行路程长而且让人不舒服。你自找的。你本可以呆在家里享受你的假期。22.C 解析:考查情景会话。句意:嗨,Sandy。原来你在这里啊。我刚才一直在想你什么时候会来哩。根据答语中后一句话“I was wondering when youd show up.”可知,C项符合题意。23.A 解析:考查副词辨析。句意:交谈意味着在持有不同意见的同时,仍然可以继续讨论。根据句意可知这里表示转折含义,因此A项正确。24.D 解析:考查非谓语动

98、词。Chinese Soccer和move之间为主谓关系,因此可以排除A项;另外,由于move的动作发生在谓语动词faces的动作之前,因此用现在分词的完成时,即D项正确。25.B 解析:考查动词辨析。A项意为“解释”;B项意为“声称”;C项意为“处理;向致辞;写的地址”;D项意为“回想起;召回”。句意:很多语言被认为(声称)是最难学习的。由句意可知B项正确。26.A 解析:考查习语辨析。A项意为“站得住脚”,符合题意,即你知道自己的这个借口是站不住脚的吧。B项意为“跟着学;学样”;C项意为“保持重量”;D项意为“遵循饮食节制”。27.D 解析:考查名词辨析。play在这里是一个比较冷僻的用法

99、,表示“(浪、光等)闪动;照耀;摇晃”的意思,符合句意。句意:傍晚时分,我站在海滩上欣赏着投射到洋面上随着波浪闪动着的银色月光。28.B 解析:考查动词时态。根据句意可知,这里是指先刮风后下雨,即刮风的动作发生在一个过去的动作之前,表示“过去的过去”,因此要用过去完成时,即B项正确。29.C 解析:考查动词词组辨析。A项意为“而不是”;B项意为“除了”;C项意为“多于;不仅仅”;D项意为“好于”。句意:没有什么比在交谈中提高嗓门更能拉低谈话水准的了。根据句意可知C项正确。30.C 解析:考查连词。句意:哪里没有朴素、善良和真理,哪里就谈不上有伟大。C项符合句意,where引导地点状语从句。31

100、.A 解析:考查动词辨析。A项在这里意为“反映”,符合句意,即曹文轩的草房子反映了一个男孩难忘的小学生活。B项意为“更新”;C项意为“俯瞰;忽视”;D项意为“促进;晋升;促销”。32.C 解析:考查宾语从句。本题中的it为形式宾语,真正的宾语是that引导的从句。Legend has it的意思是“据说;传说”。句意:据说那一汪湖水是上帝的眼泪化成的。33.B 解析:考查形容词辨析。B项在这里“人数稀少的”,符合句意,即上半场比赛时,观众数量稀少,之后人越来越多。34.C 解析:考查名词。A项意为“修改;复习”;B项意为“(书籍、杂志等)版本”;C项意为“版本;形式;变体”;D项意为“解释”。

101、句意:这个勤奋的演员扮演的此版本的英雄人物会赢得你的心吗?根据句意可知C项正确。35.A 解析:考查非限制性定语从句。as引导非限制性定语从句,修饰后面一句话的内容,as意为“正如”。句意:我想要周二在家工作,但结果却是,有时候是周三或周四。完形填空【文章大意】 这是一篇夹叙夹议类阅读理解。作者小时候是一个不务正业的“不良少年”,长大了也还是比较颓废的,毫无责任感。直到后来儿子出生后,才开始有责任感。他相信,只要愿意,每个人都有重新开始的机会。36.D 解析:根据上文的“the decision to become a loser”可知,D项符合语境,即因为决定做个失败者,所以就不再尝试(即不

102、再努力)了。37.B 解析:A项意为“正常的”;B项意为“典型的”;C项意为“明显的”;D项意为“普通的”。根据冒号后面的laze,rebellious,disrespectful几个词可知,它们都是前面degenerate(颓废)的典型特征,因此B项符合语境。38.A 解析:social graces为固定短语,意为“社交礼仪”,符合语境,即“我”已经彻底失去了社交礼仪。39.C 解析:前面提到作者先是决定要做一个失败者,然后是表现出各种堕落,接下来便到了这一句,说的是作者最后辍学,所以是继续堕落下去,因此C项符合语境。40.A 解析:A项意为“结果;后果”;B项意为“破坏”;C项意为“娱乐

103、”;D项意为“报酬”。句意:由于“我”以前的颓废的选择,所以后来从事体力劳动也就成了“我”这种选择的必然结果(consequence)了,因此A项符合语境。41.B 解析:A项意为“愿意地”;B项意为“没有希望地;失望地”;C项意为“绝望地”;D项意为“勉强地;不情愿地”。根据上文内容可知,作者一路颓废,最终只能从事繁重的体力劳动,因此到21岁时,已经彻底失望了。所以B项符合语境。C项语气过于强烈。42.A 解析:be stuck in为固定短语,意为“被卡住、困住”,符合语境,即不得不借助于毒品来处理自己因未受过良好的教育而在被困在一份死胡同般的工作中。43.D 解析:句意:“我”相信每个人

104、都有一个重新开始的机会。故D项符合语境。44.D 解析:A项意为“建议”;B项意为“目标”;C项意为“日程表”;D项意为“激励;动机”。句意:如果你有着正确的动机,你的人生随时可以重新开始。根据句意可知,D项正确。45.B 解析:根据下文可知,作者一直都不思进取、颓废的,但是就在儿子出生时,突然就出人意料的感到了责任感。所以这是令人吃惊的经历,即B项符合语境。46.C 解析:根据上文内容可知,作者一直都是很颓废、没有责任感的,所以这里C项符合语境,即作者以前一直逃避责任,儿子出生后突然开始担负起责任了。47.A 解析:A项意为“脆弱的”,符合语境,即出生不久的儿子是很脆弱的一个小生命。B项意为

105、“极好的”;C项意为“平的;平常的”;D项意为“敏感的”。48.C 解析:C项意为“在某种程度上”,符合语境,即作者自己在某种程度是和儿子一起重新开始学习走路、说话等,与上文说的“重新开始”相对应。49.D 解析:根据后面一句“I started with my sons books”可知,这里选择how符合语境,即花了三年时间才学会如何读书。50.A 解析:句意:“我”一直练习给儿子读书,直到“我”能记住书里的每一个字。根据句意可知A项正确。51.B 解析:这句话前后半句为因果关系,所以B项正确。句意:“我”知道自己想做个好榜样,所以经过一年的努力之后,“我”通过了GED测试。52.A 解析

106、:句意:“我”通过了测试,取得了一定的成绩,不过这听起来也没有什么,“我”也没有打算因做了最开始就应该做的事而得到称赞。根据句意可知A项正确。53.C 解析:句意:虽然“我”没有打算因为取得成绩而得到称赞,但是这是“我”感觉到的最好的日子。根据句意可知,best符合语境。54.D 解析:句意:长大过程中,“我”一直(always)听说这些战胜缺点的反转故事,但从未想到这些故事会发生在“我”身上。根据句意可知,只有D项正确。55.A 解析:考查名词辨析。句意:现在“我”相信了,这是每个人都可以做出的选择,即重新开始。根据题意可知A项正确。阅读理解A【文章大意】 这是一则招聘广告,是有关某大学一个

107、学院招聘院长的广告。56.D 解析:文章题材题。根据第一段第一、第二句话可知,校长一职空缺,希望能招聘符合要求的校长,所以这是一则招聘广告。因此选D。57.A 解析:细节推断题。根据第一段“The appointment is for a period of 5 years, renewable for another 3 years”可知,任期五年,可再连任三年,因此A项正确。B【文章大意】 本文主要介绍了电动汽车,在介绍电动汽车与传统燃油汽车相比的优势之外,还介绍了它的不足之处。58.D 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段第二句话“Historically, EVs have not been

108、widely adopted because of limited driving range before needing to be recharged, long recharging time, and a lack of commitment by automakers to produce and market electric cars that have all the comforts of gaspowered cars.”可知,电动车没有得到广泛采用的原因是:待电时间短;充电需要较长时间;制造商没有投入精力进行生产和销售。由此可以排除A和C;文章中没有直接比较电动汽车和燃

109、油汽车的价格,并且第三段第一句话提到电动汽车操作起来更省钱,因此可以排除B。只有D项正确。59.C 解析:文章意图题。文章先介绍电动汽车的概念和工作原理,接着介绍了电动汽车的发展历史和传统汽车相比的优势和劣势,最后则介绍了电动汽车的发展前景。所以文章主要目的便是让大家了解电动汽车的信息。因此选C。60.B 解析:作者态度题。文章最后一段说的是作者对电动汽车未来发展的趋势的判断和看法。其中最后一句话直接说明了作者的态度,即随着全球的石油供应在逐渐耗尽且油价变得越来越高,电动汽车是人们在未来合理且环保的选择。因此可判断作者对电动汽车未来发展的态度是乐观的。故选B。C【文章大意】 本文主要介绍了茶和

110、咖啡两种饮品在功效等方面的不同。61.D 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段的“not in the same cup”可知,不是把茶和咖啡混合在一起喝的,排除A;根据第三段“thats not to say that coffee is better for you than tea. In fact, the study noted that people who drank four or more cups of green tea a day were also about 20 percent less likely to have a stroke”可知,咖啡和茶并不存在哪个更好,排除

111、B;茶和咖啡只是能够降低中风的危险,而不是一种治愈方法,所以C项错误。根据原文“The regular action of drinking tea and coffee largely benefits cardiovascular health”可知,D项正确。62.A 解析:细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段可知,茶和咖啡分别含有不同的成分,功效也不同,因此选。63.C 解析:词义猜测题。咖啡可以让人更加精神,对应improve一词。故选C。64.A 解析:文章主旨题。根据文章第一段可知,项正确。D【文章大意】 文章介绍了一个名叫Thomas的诗人生平的一些事情。65.C 解析:细节理解题。根

112、据文章第二段中的最后两句话“But he generally enjoyed himself because he got to know some of the professors there. He wasnt popular among them.”可知,B项错在不是在学生中不受欢迎;由“His poetry may have brought him respect and celebrity”可知D项错误;A项未提及。只有C项正确。66.B 解析:句意理解题。根据上下文内容和overstay这个词的构词法可知,over作前缀时,表示“超过”的意思,可以推测表示“他逾越受欢迎度”,即不

113、受欢迎。所以选B。67.B 解析:细节理解题。根据文章第五段中的“However, it was here that his granddaughter Hannah Ellis believes Thomas found much of the inspiration for one of his most famous works, the radio drama Under Milk Wood”可知,此处的here指的是“living in South Leigh”,因此选B。68.D 解析:代词指代题。this一般指代上文内容,而上一段最后一句话“There are some grea

114、t historical characters who, because theyre not associated with the university, have been pushed sideways out of history.”的大意是:有一些伟大的历史人物,由于他们与这所大学没有联系,所以已经被历史遗忘。“Be associated with”对应D项中的connection;“have been pushed sideways out of history”对应D项中“should be remembered”。因此选D。69.C 解析:细节理解题。根据第一段最后的“Mrs

115、 Taylor, who put the family up in a summerhouse in their garden in the grounds of Magdalen College”可知,正确;根据第五段的“This banishment was in the picturesque village of South Leigh, nine miles out from the city, in a house set up for Thomas by Margaret”可知,正确;根据第六段的“buying him a boathouse with her own money

116、”可知,正确。因此选C项。70.C 解析:文脉逻辑题。将该句代入文中对应的四处可知,所在的位置,满足however转折意义。故选C。任务型阅读71. practice 72. need/poverty 73.

122、ults to do was to set good examples to the children. Besides, she advocated that a persons selfworth should not be influenced by bullies. I think what Jennifer did would definitely disappoint the viewers. As a public figure, she should pay attention to her image, because people, especially the young

123、, will follow her example.Thinking being obese is OK, they will probably get into the bad habit of eating more and exercising less. And also, the person who complained to her using an email is just trying to remind Jennifer to improve her image. Its not a polite way for Jennifer to show the email in her program, which will hurt the viewer. In my opinion, we should think twice before taking action to avoid hurting others. When we put ourselves in others shoes, we can have a better understanding of others, which will make a difference to our society.HJ
