AA farmer had some puppies to sell. He painted a sign advertising them on the edge of his yard.One day, a little boy came to buy one of the puppies. With a whistle(口哨)，the farmer called, "Here, Dolly!”Out from the doghouse ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur. The littleboy stood against the fence. His eyes danced with delight.As the dogs made their way to the fence(栅栏)，the little boy noticed something else inside the doghouse. Slowly another little ball appeared, something wrong with its legs, doing its best to follow others."I want that one,”the little boy said.The farmer knelt down at the boy's side and said,“Son, you don't want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would.”With that, the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down and began rolling up one leg of his trousers. In doing so, he showed a steel brace(固定器)running down both sides of his leg attaching itself to a specially made shoe. Looking back up at the farmer, he said, "You see, sir, I don' t run too well myself, and he will need someone who understands.”1. How did the farmer advertise his puppies?A.

Here are some of them. Dare you say you've never said one of them?1.Rich and Bitch(任性)Have you noticed that so many people claimed themselves "rich and bitch" in friends circle and Sina Weibo. The buzzword originates(起源于)from a real event: In April, Mr. Liu spent 1760 yuan online buying a health care product. Soon after, he got calls from a stranger who persuaded him to buy other matched medicines. In the following four months, Mr. Liu sent a total of 540,000 yuan to the swindler(骗子).He said that he had alrea街found himself cheated when he was fooled out of 70,000 yuan. "I just wanted to see how much they could take from me!”2. It's so beautiful that I'm too scared to open it.This is another joke in which unsightly things are intended to be good-looking. The buzzword comes from a sentence of John's song "Prague Square", which was extended to describe strange things. For example, when you see a very shocking picture, you can use this sentence to express the visual or psychological impact.3. So the question is..."So the question is...”i s from the advertising of Lanxiang V ocational school. In October,Zhang Le, a member of NetEase comment zone, purposely commented with a long story in a news thread(跟帖).At the end of the story there would be a sentence: So the question is: which is the strongest in Excavator Technology? Then after the thread was posted to the microblog and friends circle, it has been widely reproduced.4.It is to be cherished(珍惜)On March 31, 2014, Ma Yili responded to Wen Zhang's cheating on Sina Weibo. It reads as follows: Being in love is easy, being married is not. It is to be cherished. Soon many Internet users began to make sentences with this pattern. For example, "Eating is easy, losing weight is not. It is to be cherished."5. Which is the most popular network buzzword of 2014 according to "Evening Peak News" ofV oice of China?A. Rich and BitchB. It is to be cherishedC. So the question is...D. Not mentioned in the passage6. When did Mr. Liu know he was cheated?A. When he first bought a health care product.B. When he was cheated of 70,000 yuan.C. Immediately a stranger persuaded him to buy other matched medicines.D. Never did he know he was cheated7. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. "So the question is...”comes from a TV series.B. "Rich and Bitch" is often used to describe the rich.C. NeW ork buzzwords may come from a song.D. "It is to be cherished" was first said by Ma Yili.8. Where can we use "It is to be cherished"?A. Love me, love my dog.B. Reading is meaningful; playing games is not.C. The older, the wiser.D. Where there is a will, there is a way.CAccording to a recent study，cancer researchers urged people on Wednesday to take more vitamin D to lower risk of cancer, saying studies showed a clear link. "Our suggestion for people is to increase their intake(摄入)，through diet or a vitamin supplement," Dr. Cedric Garland said in a telephone interview. Garland's research team reviewed 63 studies, including several large long-term ones, on the relationship between vitamin D and certain types of cancer worldwide between 1966 and 2004. "There's nothing that has this ability to prevent cancer," he said, urging governments and public health officials to do more to fortify(增强)foods with vitamin D. Garland is part of a University of California at San Diego Moores Cancer Center team that published its findings this week online in the American Journal of Public Health.Vitamin D is found in milk, as well as in some fortified orange juice, yogurt and cheeses, usually at around 100 international units(IU)a serving. "People might want to consider a vitamin supplement to raise their intake to 1000 IUs per day" Garland said, adding that it was well within the safety guidelines established by the National Academy of Sciences.The authors said that taking more vitamin D could be especially important for people living in northern areas, because they receive less vitamin D from sunshine. "African Americans, who don't produce as much of the vitamin because of their skin colour, could also benefit significantly from a higher intake," the authors said.9. According to the passage, people are advised to take more Vitamin D, becauseA. it is nutritiousB. it can't harm people's healthC. it is not taken enough every dayD. it can lower cancer risk10. Which of the following cannot help people get more Vitamin D?A. Have some sunshineB. Have more meatC. Have more fortified cheeseD. Have a vitamin supplement11 .Which of the following food can lower people's chance of getting cancer?A. MilkB. Fortified orange juiceC. Fortified yogurtD. All of the above12. People from which area should take more Vitamin D according to the passage?A. Asian peopleB. South American peopleC. African peopleD. Mid-European peopleDShakespeare's Birthplace and Exhibition of Shakespeare's WorldWelcome to the world-famous house where William Shakespeare was born in 1564 and where he grew up.

And one of the players that benefit the most from this story is the media: the idea of “extreme” climate simply makes for more exciting news.Consider Paul Krugman writing breathlessly in The New York Times about the “rising incidence of extreme e vents.”He claims that global warming caused the current drought in America’s Midwest, and that supposedly record-high corn prices could cause a global food crisis(危机)。

There are so many colorful peacocks （孔雀）here.The peacocks mostly live on the grass land of Dongfeng Square（广场）. They are given food freely by visitors. They usually throw food to them, and don't think about at all whether the food is right or not. Some of the peacocks became ill, some even died after eating the bad food given by the visitors.I'm sure most of the visitors who throw food to the peacocks really like the birds, but don't realize（意识到）that they may be doing them harm（伤害）.The visitors should be told that what they have done is very harmful to the birds, and this kind of thing must be stopped from happening.Perhaps we can build some small shops beside Dongfeng Square to sell peacock food. For us every person, it's our duty to give more love to these beautiful birdsand to look after them carefully.Yours, Sun Yan1. Many visitors come to the writer's city to________.A. see beautiful peacocksB. do some shoppingC. play on Dongfeng SquareD. eat nice food2.

Some shops can be built beside Dongfeng Square so that they may________.A. sell food for visitorsB. sell food for peacocksC. make the square more beautifulD. have the beautiful birds4. From the passage we know people should________.A. live and play with the birdsB. stop the birds from eating too muchC. give more food to the birdsD. give right food to the birds5. We can guess the writer of the letter, Sun Yan, may be a________.A. visitorB. studentC. square keeperD. workerBOn Christmas Eve─the night before Christmas Day─children all over Britain put a stocking at the end of their beds before they go to sleep. Their parents usually tell them that Father Christmas will come during the night.Father Christmas is very kind and hearted. He gets to the top of each house and climbs down the chimney into the fireplace. He fills each of the stockings with Christmas presents.Of course, Father Christmas isn't real. In Jim and Kate's house, "Father Christmas" is really Mr. Green. Mr. Green doesn't climb down the chimney. He waits until the children are asleep. Then he quietly goes into their bedrooms and fills their stockings with small presents. When they were very young, Mr Green sometimes wore a red coat. But he doesn't do that now. The children are no longer young, and they know who "Father Christmas" really is. But they still put their stockings at the end of their beds.6. Christmas Eve is __________.A. the night of Christmas DayB. the evening of Christmas DayC. Christmas DayD. the night before Christmas Day7. Father Christmas often puts presents ________.A. into children's hatsB. into children's stockingsC. under children's bedsD. into children's shoes8.

Father Christmas comes into the house through the ________.A. windowB. back doorC. front doorD. chimneyCNow satellites are helping to forecast（预报）the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere（大气）, because this is where the weather forms（形成）. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists（气象学家）can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare（比较）them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead（提前）.11. Satellites travel _____________.A. in spaceB. in the atmosphereC. above the groundD. above space12. Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere? Because __________.A. the weather satellites can do it easilyB. clouds form thereC. the weather forms thereD. the pictures can forecast the weather13. Meteorologists forecast the weather __________.A. when they have received satellite picturesB. after they have compared new satellite pictures with earlier onesC. before they received satellite picturesD. during they study satellite pictures14. Maybe we will soon be able to forecast the weather for ________.A. one dayB. two daysC. five daysD. seven days or even longer15. The main（主要的）idea of this passage is that satellites are now used in _________.A. taking pictures of the atmosphereB. receiving pictures of the atmosphereC. doing other work in many waysD. weather forecastingDAdult（成年的）drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, and the life of American people. Most of the radio programs are music.Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make a C. D or tape which radio stations use in many places. Once the popular singer is heard all over the country, young people buy his or her tape. Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, all the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a national（国家的）star.There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk music. It tells stories about the common life of Americans. Another is called western or country music. This was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching. Today, any music about country life and the love betweena country boy and his girl is called western or country music.21. ________ kinds of music are mentioned（提到）in this passage.A. TwoB. ThreeC.

山西省大同市第一中学2014-2015学年高一下学期模块考试(期中)英语试题 Word版含答案

2014-2015学年度第二学期模块测试高一英语第I卷共70分第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节：（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AYou’re cooking your favourite dish, and the phone rings. You are busy chatting with your friend and suddenly remember you haven’t put the salt in. You think, well, it’s just about done but I’ll add the salt now, anyway. So you put in the salt shortly before you take the dish off the stove to serve it. As you’re eating, you think it tastes a lot saltier than usual. Does it really or is it just your imagination?Tha t’s the question. If you want something to taste salty, when is the best time to salt it: before you eat it?To get to the answer let’s consider the most basic thing about tasting. Before you can taste anything it must reach your tongue. That’s obvious enough, but it has a lot to do with the seasoning(调味) of food. Generally speaking, the more tasty particles(微粒) that reach the taste buds(味蕾), the stronger the taste. Salt buried in a lump(团，块) of food will likely be swallowed untasted. And that’s where a lot of it ends up if you salt the food early in the cooking process.Salt added later in cooking tends to remain on the surface of the food, so more of it reaches your taste buds, and thus the food tastes saltier. Think of potato chips with their salty surfaces. One ounce of chips has about the same amount of salt as a slice of wheat bread. Which tastes saltier?So, the answer to the question of when to salt to get the saltiest taste is: the later the better.A result of this is that since you get a saltier taste by adding it later, you can use less salt. This can be helpful to those trying to cut back on salt: put it later and you don’t need as much.1. What is mainly discussed in this text?A. How to cook a tasty meal.B. The amount of salt in a dish.C. How to cook a salty meal.D. The best time to salt a dish.2. If you want to save salt and get a saltier taste, you’d better put in the salt ______.A. before you cook your mealB. halfway you cook your mealC. at the end of cookingD. just before taking the dish off the stove3. What is the writer’s advice when a person wants to cut back on salt?A. Salt the food early in the cooking process.B. Eat more potato chips with salty surfaces.C. Add the salt later in the cooking process.D. Use the seasoning of food as much as possible.4. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. The earlier you put salt in, the saltier the food will be.B. If you want your dish saltier, you should put salt in it before cooking.C. Salt put in the food later will soon get into the inside of the food.D. To reduce the quantity of salt, you should put salt later into the food.BIt is important to know another language and how to communicate without words when you are in another country. Before saying anything, people communicate with each other by using gestures（手势）. However, many gestures have different meanings, or no meaning at all, in different parts of the world.In the United States, nodding your head up and down means “yes”, while in some pats of Greece and Turkey, it means “no”. In the southeast of Asia, it is a polite way of saying “I heard you”.Today in the USA, when someone puts his thumb up, it means “Everything is all right.” However, in Greece it is bad. Also putting your clasped（紧握的）hands up above your head means “I am the winner.” It is th e sign which players often make. In Russia it is the sign of friendship.In the USA, holding your hand up with the thumb and index finger（食指）, and the other three straight means “Everything is OK.” In France, it means “You are worth nothing.”It is also important to make eye communication. If you look down when talking to an American, he or she may feel that you are shy, or you are trying to hide something.Besides these, you should also know there are some topics that can not be talked about, such as age, weight and marriage. You can talk about the weather, work, sports, food, where one lives and news of the day.5. Which of the following is true?A. People all over the world only communicate by words.B. Many gestures either have different meanings or no meanings at all.C. Gestures are the most common way to communicate.D. People can talk about anything in another country.6. Putting the thumb up should not be used in _____.A. GreeceB. the USAC. EnglandD. China7. What does this sentence mean “….your action can speak louder than your words” ?A. What you do is better than what you say.B. You are better understood by your gestures than through your words.C. You try your best to be polite.D. What you say is better than what you do.8. The main idea of the passage is that when you are in another country, _____.A. it is important to know the language.B .it is important to know what you talk about to a foreigner.C. to know how to communicate without words is as important as to know the language.D. to communicate through gestures is more important than to know the language.CYoung Mister Smith had an idea for his employer. It was an idea for saving money for the company by increasing prices. At the same time, Smith suggested that the company sell goods of less value.If his employer liked the idea, Smith might be given more pay. Perhaps he might even get a better job with the company.Business had been very slow. So Mister Smith’s empl oyer thought a few minutes about the idea. But then she shook her head. “I am sorry, Smith,” his employer said. “It just will not wash.”Now, the meaning of these English words should be, “It will not get clean.” Yet, Smith’s idea did not have anything to do with making something clean. So why did his employer say, “It will not wash?”Most word experts agree that “it will not wash” means it will not work. In the nineteenth century in England, the expression came to mean an undependable statement. It was used mainly to describe an idea. But sometimes it was used about a person.Happily for the young employee Smith, his employer wanted him to do well in the company. So the employer “talked turkey” to him. She said, “Your idea would be unfair to our buy ers. Think of another way to save money.”A century ago, to talk turkey meant to talk pleasantly. Turkeys in the barnyard (仓院) were thought to be speaking pleasantly to one another. In recent years, the saying has come to mean an attempt to teach something important.Mister Smith thought of a better idea after his employer talked turkey to him. He was given an increase in pay. So if your idea “will not wash,” try “talking turkey” to yourself and come up with a better idea.9. What’s the main purpose of the passage?A. To give some advice on office work.B. To explore the meanings of two expressions.C. To share Mister Smith’s personal experience.D. To tell about the development of the English language.10. Which of the following words can best describe the employer in the passage?A. Hard-working.B. Unlucky.C. Honest.D. Cold-blooded.11. Why did the employer refuse Mister Smith’s idea?A. The idea would cost her much money.B. She knew Smith played a trick on her.C. She herself wanted to get a better job.D. The idea would do harm to customers.DHave you ever taken a test that you thought you could have passed easily, only to make some silly mistakes that really hurt your grade? More than a few students have done that. And some seem to do it over and over again.There are several problem areas that can cause students to goof up or do poorly in a test that they could have passed.Some students can become overconfident in their knowledge of the subject matter. They think they know the material better than they actually do. It is easy for students to misjudge their own knowledge, and when they realize that they don’t know the material, it is too late.What happens more often, though, is that some students feel they are smart enough to be able to guess their way through a test. So they don’t bother studying the material. They are overconfident in their ability to figure things out.In either case, overconfidence can result in lower grades in tests. Does this apply to you?Another thing that can happen is that students underestimate (低估) the difficulty of the test. They expect an easy test, but the teacher throws in a real tough test that they haven’t prepared for. Sometimes the teacher may cover material in the test that students weren’t expecting. That can happen, especially if you w eren’t paying attention in class.Finally, there are students who don’t feel that getting a good grade is important to them, so they don’t bother to study or even try to do well. Such students may be trying to punish their parents, have a poor image of themselves, or are just plain foolish. Hopefully, you are not one of these students.12. The writer believes that many students ______.A. are afraid of examsB. make careless mistakesC. hate homeworkD. lack confidence13. Wh at does the underlined phrase “goof up” mean?A. Be overconfident.B. Be nervous.C. Make silly mistakes.D. Make wrong choices.14. According to the writer, who will be most unwilling to try his best in a test?A. Edward, dissatisfied with his parents.B. John, expecting an easy test for him.C. Dobby, believing he is the smartest in the class.D. Peter, being overconfident about his ability.15. What would be discussed in the paragraph that follows?A. The causes of overconfidence.B. The causes of a poor self-image.C. Ways to prepare for a test.D. Ways to avoid goofing up a test.第二节：（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ATourism wasn’t as important as it is today. In the past, only people with a good deal of money could travel on holidays to other countries. More people travel today than in the past because there is a growing middle class in many parts of the world; that is to say, people now have more money for travel. Special plane fares for tourists make travel less expensive and more attractive than ever before. One person doesn’t travel for the same reason as another. But most people enjoy seeing countries that are different from their own. They also like to meet new people and to taste new food.Tourism causes many changes in a country and in people’s lives. People build new hotels and restaurants and train native men and women a s guides to show visitors interesting places. There’re new nightclubs and other amusements. International tourism is clearly a big business.1. More people travel today than in the past because______________.A. people have become interested in travelingB. traveling today is easier the in the pastC. people now have spare money for travelD. great changes have taken place in the world2. Which of the following statements is true according to the article?A. Tourism won’t bring any changes in people’s minds.B. With the development of tourism, great changes have taken place in manyparts in the world.C. People have some trouble in making journey.D. Tourism causes only some changes in clothing.3. What is the best title of the passage?A. The Change of TourismB. TourismC. The Importance of TourismD. The Cause of Tourism ChangeBI woke up late and had breakfast in a hurry. I had nev er been late and didn’t want my boss to be unsatisfied. However, it seemed that day wasn’t a lucky one for me from the very second I left my flat. The moment I wanted to rush down stairs one of my stiletto heels (细高跟) broke. I had to return to change my red shoes.I also had to change my purse and other little things that I had tried to match with the shoes. I was sure I would be late for work.On my way to work I had to wait for over half an hour because of an accident.I had no choice but to wait. I phoned my boss and he told me that it was no problem, but he needed me for the meeting with the Japanese clients (客户) that morning.Finally, I arrived at the office one hour later. I had to keep calm and be fresh for the meeting to mak e the clients sure that our plan was the best for their future commercial (商业的) project. However, I left the plan I had made the night before at home and was going to present (介绍) it to the clients. I was about to get angry when I realized that I had a draft (草稿) of it in my office. At last, the presentation came to an end and it turned out to be a success. But I have to say that I had a terrible day, full of incidents (事件).4. Which of the following is NOT the reason of the writer being late for her work?A. She got up late in the morning.B. She changed her purse and other little things.C. One of her shoe heels broke.D. She had a traffic accident on the way to work.5. According to the passage, what could we learn about the writer?A. Her boss was very angry with her.B. She left her plan on the bus.C. She often arrived at her office on time.D. She was nervous at the meeting.6. According to the passage, which is the correct order of the following events?a. She presented the plan to the clients.b. One of her stiletto heels broke.c. She arrived at the office.d. She phoned her boss.e. She tried to match her purse with her red shoes.A. beacdB. bedcaC. dceabD. edcba7. Which old saying co uld be used to describe the writer’s incidents?A. Failure is the mother of success.B. A good beginning makes a good ending.C. Where there is a will, there is a way.D. One trouble never comes alone.CAre you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these exp eriments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.In many parts of the world, people take naps(小睡；打盹) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a shortnap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful．8. Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon?A. Because you eat too much for lunch．B. Because it’s hot in summer．C. Because your body temperature goes down at that time．D. Because you didn’t have a good sleep last night．9. What can we learn about“naps” according to the last paragraph?A. All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day．B. Doctors need to take naps while employers don’t．C. If you take naps everyday, you’11 never suffer from heart disease．D. Taking naps regularly is beneficial to people’s health．10. What can we infer from the passage?A. You’ll feel sleepy at regular intervals（间隔）.B. Taking a nap whenever you want will do good to your health.C. You will feel less sleepy if you sleep for a long time.D. If you get up at 6:30 am, you’d better take a nap at about 1:30 pm.11. What would be the best title for the text?A. Just for a RestB. All for a NapC. A Special Sleep PatternD. Taking Naps in Warmer ClimateDOne of Britain’s bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected (可疑的) police killer David Bieber—and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to $30,000 reward money.Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bieber’s bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.She said, “I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park, I was so glad they were there.”The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious (怀疑) of the guest who checked in at 3 p.m. the day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage andwearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said, “He didn’t seem to want to talk too much or make any eye contact.” Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and her husband Stall McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 p.m.Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 p.m. to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.“It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said ‘Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officer s outside?’ My heart missed a beat.”Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key.“I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that pair of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the man’s room, but I could see the passage (走廊). The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed (带手铐).”12. The underlined phrase “be in line for” in the first paragraph means __________. .A. getB. be paidC. ask forD. own13. Vicki became suspicious of David Bieber because _________. .A. the police called herB. he looked very strangeC. he came to the hotel with little luggageD. he came to the hotel the day before New Year’s Eve14. David Bieb er was most probably handcuffed in _________. .A. the passageB. the man’s roomC. Vicki’s bedroomD. the top floor room15. The whole event probably lasted about ________hours from the moment Biebercame to the hotel to the arrival of some armed officers.A. 6B. 8C. 11D. 14第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

But since the tsunami and nuclear disaster in Fukushima (Japan) last year the issue is back in the headlines. And the world is divided— some countries are planning more nuclear plants, while others have promised to shut theirs down.After Fukushima, Germany decided to switch off all its nuclear plants by 2022. Switzerland and Italy are also phasing out nuclear power. But France and the United States remain staunch supporters of atomic energy. In fact, almost 80% of France’s electricity comes from nuclear power, the highest percentage in the world. And in the US, the Oba ma administration said it “continues to support the expansion of nuclear power, despite the crisis in Japan.”Nuclear supporters claim nuclear power can help the environment. Unlike fossil fuels, nuclear power doesn’t create greenhouse gases. So, pro-nuclear countries argue that nuclear power allows them to generate energy without contributing to climate change. Britain’s chief scientific adviser (John Beddington) supports this view. He recently said that the world doesn’t have the luxury of ignoring nuclea r energy.Nuclear power is also relatively cheap. Renewable energy sources such as solar, hydro and wind power may be clean, but they’re expensive; and right now, they require a lot of investment. This higher cost of using “green energy” is usually passed onto the consumer. So, while many people may prefer their energy to come from a renewable source, not so many are prepared to pay higher energy bills. This is of particular concern while the world economy is in such bad shape.The main argument against nuc lear energy is that it isn’t safe. For a start, nuclear waste is very difficult to dispose of, and remains toxic to humans for thousands of years. And even before Fukushima, there were several high-profile nuclear disasters. The most famous is probably the 1986 Chernobyl disaster,in the Ukraine. The radiation from the meltdown spread all over Europe, affecting thousands.The nuclear energy issue is very complex. And it doesn’t look like it’ll be resolved anytime soon. As a Japanese commentator recently sai d, “it’s been a bad year for the ‘nuclear village’, but I don’t think they’re down and out yet.” The battle continues.41.

No doubt the tons of carbon dioxide being thrown up into the air are dangerously warming the earth. It is clear that average temperature has risen during the last century. Not everyone can believe that carbon dioxide is responsible. A new study shows us it is not all the fault of carbon dioxide.Some scientists studied the sun and found that when the sun becomes more active，the earth warms up. When the sun quiets, as it did in the 1950s and 1960s，temperature takes a dip (下降)．So some scientists said the sun's changeable moods may be more important than carbon dioxide in warming the earth. You might think that “global warming” means nothing more than a rise in the world's temperature. But rising sea levels caused by it have affected our environment and living standard in many ways.We can't change the sun's moods .So in order not to make the earth warming up, what we can do is to control the amount of giving off carbon dioxide. Studies have shown that human-related emissions (排放物)of carbon into the atmosphere is causing，and will in the future cause seriously global warming. Many countries have already made some laws to stop sending carbon dioxide into the air directly. As an ordinary person，we use fewer cars when we go out. We can ride a bike or walk.It is not only good for environment, but also good for our health.Are you ready？It is the time that we do something for the global warming. Let us go for it. 45．What makes the earth become warmer and warmer?A．Carbon dioxide B．The sun C．The air D．A and B46．The scientists also said that the sun's changeable moods may be________than carbon dioxide in warming the earth.A．more serious B．more difficultC．more terrible D．more important47．What should we do in order not to make the global warming?A．We should try to change the sun's changeable moods.B．We should control sending carbon dioxide into the air directly.C．We should make some laws to prevent people from driving.D．We should make the sun become more active.CJune 26, 2000—the Human Genome(基因组) Project, a great $3 billion, 15year task aimed at drawing the genetic(遗传的) map of humans, is now more than 90 percent completed. The scientific and medical communities(团体) are very excited about the chances genetic research provides for getting rid of diseases and prolonging(延长) human life. But those communities and policy(政策) makers also are careful about the scientific door they are opening as the project uncovers the mysteries of life.For the last few years, the genetic advances in the developing field of biotechnology(生物技术) have provides material for all kinds of work, but the developments of modern science in unlocking the secrets of the human genetic code(密码) have opened a world of possibilities for human health, as well as for the popular imagination.While European and Japanese researchers are making rapid progress in decoding(解码) human DNA, the leading organization for genetic research is in the United States, which began in 1990, is “unlock ing the code” of the human body to learn how to defeat fatal(致命的)diseases. Already, the Human Genome Project has become widely known and praised for finding the genes(基因) connected with terrible diseases as yet(迄今), and making progress toward separating the genes that show a sign of breast cancer or AIDS.Once these genes are found and studied, researchers can develop new ways to attack infections(传染), and genetic diseases. Medical companies are very interested in mapping the human genome, as they expect to develop a lot of new drugs for these illnesses.48. Why did the scientists work hard at mapping the human genome?A. Because the human genome can destroy many illnesses.B．Because the human genome's completion can help them get rid of many diseases.C．Because they wanted to be better known than others.D．Because the human genome can provide a lot of chances of work.49．Which country studied the genes most rapidly in the world?A．Japan. B．Germany. C．The United States. D．China.50．Which of the following is NOT true?A．If the genes can be found, scientists can study many new ways to cure illnesses.B．The scientists have made great progress in connecting the genes with the cancers.C．Many medical companies show great interest in drawing the human genome map.D．The United States began the Genes Study early in the 19th century.D(七选五)Change the world.I want the world to be a better one because I am in it.
