—That must have been a lot of work.

—Yeah, it ________ us three days to finish it.

A．takes　B．had taken

C．took　D．was taking

 

C

【解析】考查動詞時態(tài)。句意：——你們一定做了許多工作。——是的，完成這些工作花費了我們三天的時間。根據“must have been”可知，此處是對過去情況的一種推測，故“花費”這一動作應發(fā)生在過去，所以用一般過去時。

All Ric O Barry wants is to stop the dolphin?killing, so he is headed to this seaside Japanese town, Taiji.The American activist, who is the star of a new award?winning documentary that portrays the dolphin?killing here, got an unwelcome reception when he showed up here this week for the start of the annual hunt.

His movie, The Cove(海豚灣), directed by National Geographic photographer Louie Psihoyos, was released in the United States a month ago but has not yet to come out in Japan.

Scenes in the film, some of which were shot secretly, show fishermen banging on metal poles stuck in the water to create a wall of sound that scares the dolphins— which have supersensitive sonar(聲納系統(tǒng))—and sends them fleeing into a cove.

There, the fishermen sometimes pick a few to be sold for aquarium shows, for as much as $150,000. They kill the others, spearing(刺) the animals repeatedly until the water turns red. The meat from one dolphin is worth about 50,000 yen, and is sold at supermarkets across Japan.

Greenpeace and other groups have tried to stop the hunt for years.Activists hope The Cove will bring the issue to more people internationally—and eventually in Japan.

Already，the Australian town of Broome dropped its 28?year sister?city relationship with Taiji last month，partly because of the movie.

“Some regions have a tradition of eating dolphin meat，” said fisheries official Toshinori Uoya. “Dolphin?killing may be negative for our international image, but it is not something orders can stop.”

The town government in Taiji—which has made whales and dolphins its trademark—refused to comment about The Cove, or the growing international criticism against dolphin?killing.

Many in Taiji take the dolphin hunt for granted as part of everyday life. They are defensive about The Cove，seeing themselves as powerless victims of overseas pressure to end a simple and honest way of making a living.

1.Ric O Barry made The Cove because he wanted to ________.

A．stop the dolphin?killing

B．win an international award

C．support Greenpeace's efforts

D．make Taiji well?known in the world

2.Viewers can learn from The Cove ________.

A．the advanced techniques to catch dolphins

B．the cruel and bloody dolphin?killing

C．the beautiful Japanese seaside town Taiji

D．the sale of dolphin meat around the world

3.What is the response to The Cove on the Japanese side?

A．Taiji broke up with its western sister?city Broome.

B．Japanese officials decided to ban dolphin?killing.

C．The town government in Taiji kept silent on criticism.

D．Most Japanese people were against eating dolphin meat.

4.What does the underlined word “defensive” probably mean?

A．Feeling guilty for killing dolphins.

B．Protecting themselves against criticism.

C．Attacking those against dolphin?killing.

D．Making the determination to change.

5.What can we infer from the passage?

A．Many people in Japan have seen The Cove in the cinema.

B．The Cove has not influenced Japan's international image.

C．Taiji's dolphin?killing industry has been seriously damaged.

D．The Cove has brought international attention to dolphin?killing.

After spending a year in Brazil on a student exchange program，her mother recalled，Marie Colvin returned home to find that her classmates had narrowed down their college choices.“Everyone else was already admitted to college，” her mother，Rosemarie Colvin，said from the family home.“So she took our car and drove up to Yale and said，‘You_have_to_let_me_in.'”

“Impressed—she was a National Merit (全國英才) finalist who had picked up Portuguese in Brazil—Yale did, admitting her to the class of 1978，where she started writing for the Yale Daily News and decided to be a journalist，” her mother said.

On Wednesday，Marie Colvin,56，an experienced journalist for The Sunday Times of London，was killed as Syrian forces shelled the city of Homs.She was working in a temporary media center that was destroyed in the attack.

“She was supposed to leave Syria on Wednesday”，Mrs.Colvin said.“Her editor told me he called her yesterday and said it was getting too dangerous and they wanted to take her out.She said she was doing a story and she wanted to finish it.”

Mrs.Colvin said it was pointless to try to prevent her daughter from going to conflict zones.“If you knew my daughter，” she said，“it would have been such a waste of words.She was determined，she was enthusiastic about what she did，it was her life.There was no saying ‘Don't do this.' This is who she was，absolutely who she was and what she believed in：cover the story，not just have pictures of it，but bring it to life in the deepest way you could.”“So it was not a surprise when she took an interest in journalism，” her mother said.

e．She began to take an interest in journalism.

A．d→e→c→a→b　B．c→b→e→d→a

科目：高中英語 來源：2014年高考定時訓練（1）英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

(2013·宜春五校聯(lián)考)Technology is making life easier for some dairy farmers.They use robotic systems to milk their cows.Cows are trained to follow a series of paths that lead to milking stations.Only one cow at a time can enter a station.

Once inside，the cow is rewarded with food.As the cow eats，a robotic arm cleans and connects the animal to the milking machine.A few minutes later，milking is complete.The gate is opened，the cow is released and the next cow enters.

The robotic systems are designed to operate 24 hours a day.The cows get to decide when they want to be milked.Cows are milked an average of about three times a day.Some are milked four to six times a day.

The cows wear collars around their necks that identify them to the system.A computer keeps records on their eating and milking.A cow is released from the station if the computer decides it should not be milked.

The automated system also measures the temperature and color of freshly produced milk.Milk is thrown away if it does not pass the tests.

Professor Plaut believes the systems will appeal especially to the next generation of farmers.She means young people who are more interested in technology and less interested in working all the time on the farm.Still，she says the price of robotic milking systems will continue to limit their use.

Doug and Tina Suhr have more than 100 cows on their family farm.Last year it became the fourth farm in southeast Minnesota to get a robotic milking system.A recent story in a local agricultural newspaper said the first robot costs 175,000 dollars.The second costs 150,000 dollars.

Doug told AgriNews that wages that would have been paid for one employee in five years will pay for one robot.He says the increase in milk production reaches a high of more than six kilograms per cow per day.

1.From the first paragraph，we can infer ________.

A．the robotic system is designed to reduce labor

B．cows can be raised by robots in the future

C．robots direct cows into milking stations

D．cows are kept clean by robots on some farms

2.Besides milking cows，the robotic system also can ________.

A．adjust the temperature of milking stations

B．judge the quality of fresh milk

C．improve the appetite of cows

D．keep fresh milk for two weeks

3.Why is the robotic system not popular now?

A．Because young people have no interest in it.

B．Because it is difficult to learn how to use it.

C．Because people can't afford to buy it.

D．Because it usually causes the waste of milk.

4.According to Doug，what is the wage of an employee per year?

A．$150,000～$175,000.

B．over $75,000.

C．$150,000～$30,000.

D．$30,000～$35,000.
