As solar lighting is becoming useful for homes,many different such outdoor lights can now be found in supermarkets.Here are some helpful tips for customers.

Does your area receive enough direct lighting?

1So you shouldn't even give it a thought if you live in an area that doesn't get much sunlight.These lights need direct sunlight,or they just won't work very well.2

The expensive one usually means good quality Choosing the cheapest ones will result in many problems.For once,it's best to buy more expensive lights of high quality.3At least you should know the difference between a $10 light and a $45 light.

Buy lights that require less installation(安裝)

Most solar lights are simply driven into the ground.Therefore.you shouldn't deal with the difficulty in installing a system that involves anything more than that.4You don't need to buy lights that require half an hour each to plant into the ground because that's just a waste of time.

Make sure the lights can store enough energy.

Different solar lights can store different amounts of energy5Therefore,you should choose lights that are able to store enough energy to last for a few hours or more,at least those that will last from nightfall throughout most of the night and part of the morning.

A.They should take a few minutes each to get into the ground

B.Without sunlight,solar lighting is useless.

C.It means some will stay lit longer than the others

D.Buy many solar lights instead of just one or two.

E.Choose something a bit more expensive for once.

F.That doesn't mean you have to spend all your money.

【答案】

1B

2E

3F

4A

5C

【解析】本文是說明文。主要講述了人們在購買戶外太陽能燈時需要注意的幾個問題。

1B

 考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。由本文主題句“Does your area receive enough direct lighting?”和該空后的相關(guān)內(nèi)容可知。這里是說你所住的地方要有足夠的直射陽光,否則這些太陽能燈就無法正常發(fā)揮作用。故選B。

2E

考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。本段主要是講價格高一些的太陽能燈質(zhì)量會更好,所以人們在購買的時候最好一次性地選購那些價格較高的太陽能燈,故用E項內(nèi)容作小標(biāo)題最恰當(dāng)了。

3F

考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力由該空前后的“,it's best to buy more expensive lights of high quality. ”和“At least you should know the difference between a $10 light and a $45 light.”可知,作者并不是說要人們把錢都花在那些價格昂貴的燈上,但起碼應(yīng)該明白十美元的燈和四十五美元的燈之間的差異。故選F項。

4A

考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力由本段標(biāo)題“Buy lights that require less installation”和該空后的“You don't need to buy lights that require half an hour each to plant into the ground”可知,作者在此建議人們購買那些易于安裝的太陽能燈。故選A

5C

考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。由該空前的“Different solar lights can store different amounts of energy”可知,不同的太陽能燈點亮的時間長短也不相同,故C項說法符合些語境。

Pandas eat almost nothing 4 bamboo shoots and leaves. 5(occasion) they eat other plants, fish, or small animals, but bamboo accounts for 99% of their diets.

Pandas eat fast; they eat 6 lot, and they spend about 12 hours a day 7(do) it. The reason is 8 they digest only about a fifth of what they eat. Overall, bamboo is not very nutritious. To stay healthy, they have to eat a lot-up to 15 percent of their body weight in 12 hours-so they eat fast.

Pandas’ molars(臼齒) are very broad and flat. The shape of these teeth helps the animals crush the bamboo shoots, leaves, and stems they eat to get the bamboo to their mouths, 9 hold the stems with their front claws, which have enlarged wrist bones that act as thumbs for grasping things. A panda should have at least two bamboo species where it lives, or it will starve. Pandas are shy; they don’t go into areas 10 people live. This restricts pandas to very limited areas.

【題目】Memphis Meats, a San Francisco startup company trying to create lab-grown meat from animal cells(細(xì)胞), released a video on Tuesday that shows the world’s first cultured meatball getting fried up in a pan.

“We watched how the meatball reacted in the pan, we heard the sizzle, we smelled the meat and it was exactly how you would expect a meatball to smell,” Memphis Meats chief executive Uma Valeti said in the video. “This is the first time a meatball has ever been cooked with beef cells that didn’t need a cow to be killed.”

Memphis Meats grows animal muscle tissue(組織) using stem cells of cows and pigs and feeds them oxygen and nutrients(營養(yǎng)物質(zhì)), according to the Wall Street Journal. While there are no animals killed in making the meats, the firm does use fetal bovine serum(胎牛血清) from unborn cattle's blood to start the process.

So far, the cells grow in extremely thin layers, which is very expensive. Now it costs about $18,000 to produce a pound of Memphis Meats beef--compared to about $4 for store-bought beef.

But the company, founded by three scientists, has been experimenting growing meat from stem cells from cows, pigs, and chickens and says it’ll be selling its animal-free products to high-end customers in three to four years.

The company’s first line of products will include hot dogs, sausages, burgers and meatballs.

Valeti said in the video that his company’s process also produces 90 percent fewer greenhouse gases than traditional agriculture.

“The meat industry knows their products aren’t sustainable(可持續(xù)的),” Valeti told the Wall Street Journal. “We believe that in 20 years, a majority of meat sold in stores will be cultured.”

It’s too early to say if we’ll all be cooking lab-grown meatballs, chicken wings, and pork chops. But for now, there is a big push to be the first to bring these foods to our plates.

1What can be the best title for the passage?

A. Lab-grown meat is to hit the market.

B. Lab-grown meat smells as delicious.

C. Lab-grown meat is animal-free.

D. Lab-grown meat will replace traditional meat soon.

2What’s the biggest disadvantage of the lab-grown meat?

A. It is difficult to grow.

B. It is too expensive.

C. It is difficult to be accepted by customers.

D. It doesn’t have many varieties.

3What can we know about the lab-grown meat?

A. The layers where it grows are very expensive.

B. Cattle’s blood is needed to feed the cells.

C. Lab-grown meat has nothing to do with animals.

D. The growing process costs a lot.

4What can we infer from the passage?

A. Lab-grown meat tastes exactly like traditional meat.

B. Traditional meat industry is not sustainable.

C. Lab-grown meat is environmentally friendly.

D. Lab-grown meat is best suitable for frying.

【題目】Are you carrying too much on your back at school? I’m sure lots of children of your age will say “Yes”. Not only do the students in China have this problem, but children in the United States also have heavy school bags.

Doctors are starting to worry that younger and younger students are having back and neck problems as a result of school bags being too heavy for them.

“It’s hard for me to go upstairs with my bag because it’s so heavy,” said Rick Hammond, an 11-year-old student in the US.

Rick is among students who have common school bags with two straps (帶子) to carry them, but many other students choose rolling bags(拉桿包).

But even with rolling bags, getting upstairs and buses is still a problem for children. Many of them have hurt their backs or necks because of the heavy school bags.

But how much is too much? Doctors say students should carry no more than 10% to 15% of their own body weight.

Scott Bautch, a doctor, said children under Grade 4 should stay with 10%. But it is also important that older children don’t stay with over 15%, because their bodies are still growing. “Children are losing their balance and falling down with their school bags,” he said.

Parents and teachers are starting to tell children to only take home library books they will be reading that night. Some teachers are using pieces of paper or thin workbooks for students to take home.

One of the best answers is, as some children said, to have no homework at all!

1From the passage we can know that .

A. only children in China carry too heavy school bags

B. both children in China and the US carry too heavy school bags

C. children in other countries don’t carry too heavy bags

D. only children in the US carry too heavy school bags

2If a child carries a heavy school bag, .

A. his back or neck will be hurt B. his head and arms will be hurt

C. his hands will be hurt D. his feet will be hurt

3According to Scott Bautch, if a child in Grade 5 weighs about 30 kilos, the school bag he carries should not be over ________.

A. 5 kilos B. 3 kilos

C. 5.5 kilos D. 4.5 kilos

4Some students think the best answer to this problem is that .

A. they should have a little homework to do after they get home

B. their teachers had better not ask them to do any homework

C. they should only take home library books they will read that night

D. they should use thin workbooks instead of thick ones

【題目】It’s hard to find Alice Munro in the media. Even after she won the 2013 Nobel Prize in Literature, the Canadian writer just appeared for a quick interview and then dropped out of sight. On Dec 29, she still didn't seek the spotlight(聚光燈)when she was named one of the five Women of the Year by the Financial Times.

In Munro's eyes, ordinary lives always hide larger dramas. So she records what we casually think of as the everyday actions of normal people. She often focuses on life in her hometown, a small village in Ontario which she is most familiar with. She writes about the ordinary things in the village-fox forming, trees filled in the Ontario wilderness, poor country alcohol and long last illnesses. Above all, she talks about girls and women who have seemingly ordinary lives but struggle against daily misfortune. She has a special talent for uncovering the extraordinary in the ordinary. These are ordinary people, ordinary stories, but she has the magic. Her precise language, depth of detail and the logic of her storytelling have made her stories inviting.

Runaway, one of Munro’s representative works, is a good example of her writing style. One of the stories centers on the life of an ordinary woman Carla, who lives in a small Canadian town with her husband Clark. The story slowly forms a picture of Carla, trapped in a bad marriage, her unhappiness building into desperation until she decided to flee. The story of Carla is a story of the power and betrayals of love. It is about lost children and lots of chances that we can all find in life. There is pain beneath the surface, like a needle in the heart.

Since she published her first collection of short stories in 1968, Munro has won many awards, with the Nobel Prize being her biggest honor. On Oct. 10, 2013, the Nobel Prize committee named Munro the “master of the contemporary short story”.

1We learn from Paragraph 1 that Alice Munro_________.

A. didn't get on well with the media

B. remained modest though very successful

C. didn’t value the title of Women of the Year

D. was surprised at winning the Nobel Prize

2What makes Alice Munro’s stories fascinating according to the text?

A. Her writing techniques. B. The complicated plots.

C. The humorous language. D. Her rich imagination.

3What is the text mainly about?

A. Alice Munro and her hometown. B. The awards Alice Munro won.

C. Alice Munro and her writing style. D. Alice Munro’s literary life.

【題目】After giving a talk at a high school,I was asked to pay a visit to a special student.An illness had kept the boy home,but he had expressed an interest in meeting me.I was told it would mean a great deal to him,so I agreed.

During the nine-mile drive to his home,I found out something about Matthew.He had muscular dystrophy(肌肉萎縮癥).When he was born,the doctor told his parents that he would not live to five,and then they were told he would not make it to ten.Now he was thirteen.He wanted to meet me because I was a Gold-medal power lifter,and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my dreams.

I spent over an hour talking to Matthew.Never once did he complain or ask,"Why me?"He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams.Obviously,he knew what he was talking about.He didn't mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different.He just talked about his hopes for the future,and how one day he wanted to lift weights with me.When we had finished talking,I went to my briefcase(公文包)and pulled out the first gold medal I had won and put it around his neck.I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would.He looked at it for a moment,then took it off and handed it back to me.He said,"You are a champion.You earned that medal.Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal,I will show it to you."

Music plays a important role in my life and listen to music is my favorite activity. Usually I preferred to express my feeling through music, and I like pop music best. I don’t like rock music because of I think it’s too noisily. When I am tired after studying or when I am nervous before exams, music helps me feel relaxing and fresh. I am not good at singing or I can play the piano and the violin. In addition, I am fond of listening to foreign song in order to learn more about the cultures of different countries as well learning about the world better. Music makes your life more colorful.
