On Sunday, August 24th, comic book lovers across the world held their breath to watch how much crazy collectors would pay for a rare Superman comic book. Though bids (出价) above the initial asking price of 1 million dollars had been coming in gradually since the copy was placed on the auction site (拍卖网站) eBay on July 14th, things really started to heat up during the final minutes when the price jumped from $2.5 to $2.6 and then $2.7 million, before shooting up to unbelievable 3,207,852 dollars!This of course was no ordinary Superman comic book, but an edition of the extremely sought-after (很吃香地) No. 1 of Action Comics series — the first publication of the superhero that was born from the creative minds of teenagers Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel. Though Action Comics No. 1, which depicted a diaper-clad baby Superman lifting furniture, had a print run of 200,000 copies, only about 100 are known to exist today.While the rarity is certainly a reason for the high price, Stephen Fisher, CEO of , thinks it also has a lot to do with the fact that Superman was the world’s first superhero! Even so, none of the copies have been able to fetch (售得) as much as the most recent one, simply because they have not been as well-preserved. Graded a rare 9 out of 10 by CGC, a third party grading service for comic books, the book is the highest rated copy of Action Comics No. 1 so far. According to CGC officials, the 76-year-old comic book looks and feels as though it has just come off the newsstand (报摊).That is not surprising given that the original owner, a Virginian man who bought the book for only 10 cents in 1938, had carefully tucked it away (藏起来) in a wooden box for four decades. Fortunately, when he passed away, the book was bought by a string of collectors who all realized it was a rare treasure that needed to be looked after. Before this, the highest price paid for an Action Comics No. 1 had been $2 million for a copy sold by Hollywood actor Nicholas Cage in 2011. Ironically, the two teenagers responsible for creating Superman received just 130 dollars when they sold the rights to the superhero to comic book publisher Detective Comics in 1938.1. When the Superman comic book was placed on eBay on July 14th, .A. it attracted no attention at allB. things started to heat up immediatelyC. the bid price didn’t go up very quickly at firstD. people thought it was worth millions of dollars2. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Why the comic book is well-preserved.B. Why the comic book is well worth reading.C. Why the comic book is worth so much money.D. Why the comic book has drawn so much attention.3. When the other collectors got the comic book after the Virginian man, they .A. all took very good care of itB. all liked reading it very muchC. didn’t believe it was worth a fortuneD. all kept it in the same way as that man4. What do we know about the creators of Superman?A. They didn’t want to sell the rights to a comic book publisher.B. They knew all along Superman would be the most successful comic book.C. They were professional comic book writers when they created Superman.D. They didn’t make much money from creating Superman.参考答案1—4、CCAD阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Parents used to rely on physical punishments to control their children's bad behavior, which has been proven to be very harmful．Therefore, most parents now choose to simply yell, thinking that languageprobably won't hurt as much．But is that really so?Using harsh words such as "lazy" or "stupid" is just as harmful as hitting, according to a new study carried out at the University of Pittsburgh, US．"It cannot reduce or correct their problem behavior," said Professor Ming - Te Wang, leader of the study, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal．"On the contrary, it makes it worse．"In the study, which involved 976 two - parent families, researchers asked the kids about their behavior problems, while asking their parents how often they had yelled at them． Nearly half of the parents admitted that they'd shouted at their children in the past year．Researchers noted that the kids whose parents used more harsh words experienced more behavior problems after-wards, including fighting, stealing, lying as well as symptoms of depression．"Adolescence is a very sensitive period when kids arc trying Lo develop their self -identities（个性）．When you yell, it makes them feel they are not capable, and that they are worthless and useless," Wang said．"This may explain why so many parents say that no matter how loud they shout, their teenagers don' t listen．While harsh yelling can stop bad behavior in the moment, it doesn' t teach children to be-have how parents want them to, according to Professor Alan Kazdin of Yale University, US．What parents need is to praise their children for good behavior．If parents really need to punish their kids, they should try things like taking away smartphones and reminding them that good behavior will get them back． After all, "we want to teach kids, not hurt them," said Kazdin．1．How do most parents react to their children's misbehaving now?A．Letting them alone．B．Beating them．C．Shouting at them．D．Praising them．2．The study finds that using harsh words ．A．can make things even worse B．inspires children to do better C．corrects children's bad behavior D．has a better effect than hitting3．According to Professor Ming - Te Wang, ．A．physical punishments are sometimes necessaryB．children are more self - centered in adolescenceC．parents should never punish kids for misbehavingD．harsh yelling damages children's self - confidence4．In Professor Alan Kazdin's opinion, parents should A．set good examples for their childrenB．take away their children' s smartphonesC．praise their children for good behaviorD．always think in their children's shoes5．What does the underlined word "them" in the last paragraph refer to?A．children B．bad behaviors C．parents D．smartphones【参考答案】1—5、CADCD阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
I don't think comic book "collector" really applies to me at all. I’m probably more of a comic book "appreciator". My interest has always been in what can be accomplished with the medium of "visual story-telling". I'm not sure exactly where this interest of mine came from. I do know that as a child, comic books allowed me to improve my reading skills. “The Mighty Thor" helped me develop an interest in old legends, and “Challengers o f the Unknown" got me crazy about science fiction. The combination of words and pictures was a perfect springboard for my childhood imagination.How does one learn to appreciate comic book art? There is a classic example that sheds quite a bit of light on the subject. Writer Scott Macloud just explains what makes a comic book stand out in his best selling book Understanding Comics. The book, first published in 1994, has been translated into 13 languages and is practically a bible for students studying graphic illustration (图示说明) in novels.On the internet there are some cool comic book sites to be found—hundreds and hundreds of them as a matter of fact. More than a few are dedicated to super heroes and the like. But there are some choice sites that I would visit, because they provide some great resources that discuss the comic book as an art form. Noteworthy among them is a great article and interview at rcharvey. corn, which discusses the impact of several artists and writers in the field.I have a huge admiration for anyone who can produce comic stories that can make readers think, laugh and cry. Maybe make them dream.Check it out. Spend two dollars on a comic book and read it with your children. Or better yet, search out some of the more “adult" tides a nd read it for yourself. You may find yourself enjoying what you see and read. You may even find yourself wanting more.1. What does the author mainly intend to talk about in Paragraph 2?A. Influence of comic books on reading in childhood.B. Ways to improve one's reading skills.C. Subjects of comic books.D. Popularity of two comic books.2. The underlined part "sheds quite a bit of light on" (Para．3) means "____".A. does a basic research onB. causes a fierce debate onC. provides new information onD. makes a quick survey on3. If you want to know a few good writers of comic books, you will probably____.A. read Understanding ComicsB. visit rcharvey．cornC. buy some comic booksD. turn to comic story writers4. What does the author encourage people to do?A. Develop an interest in old legends and science fiction.B. Share a comic book with children.C. Produce some comic stories.D. Spend money and time appreciating comic books.1、答案解析：答案为A。

Many people believe Henry Ford invented the automobile (汽车)．But Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until 1896.That was eleven years after two Germans developed the world's first automobile.Many people believe Henry Ford invented the production line that moved a car's parts to the worker，instead of making the worker move to the parts.That is not true，either.Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford.What Henry Ford did was to use other people's ideas and make them better.And he made the whole factory a moving production line.In the early days of the automobile，almost every car maker raced his cars.It was the best way of gaining public notice.Henry Ford decided to build a racing car.Ford's most famous race was his first one.It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself.The race was in 1901，at a field near Detroit.All of the most famous cars had entered, but only two were left：the Winton and Ford's.The Winton was famous for its speed.Most people thought the race was over before it began.The Winton took an early lead.But halfway through the race, it began to lose power.Ford started to gain.And near the end of the race, he took the lead.Ford won the race and defeated the Winton.His name appeared in newspapers and he became wellknown all over the United States.Within weeks of the race, Henry Ford formed a new automobile company.In 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company.That_sale was the beginning of Henry Ford's dream.Ford said: “I will build a motor car for the great mass of people.It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for one person to operate and care for.It will be built of the best materials.It will be built by the best men to be employed.And it will be built with the simplest plans that modern engineering can produce.It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one.”The Model T was a car of that kind.It only cost $850.It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on.Doctors bought the Model T．So did farmers.Even criminals. They considered it the fastest and surest formof transportation.Americans loved the Model T．They wrote stories and songs about it.Thousands of Model T's were built in the first few years.本文记叙了亨利福特充分利用别人的想法，生产出了自己的汽车，形成了自己的生产流水线。

(2014·天津模拟)I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling(叛逆). I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching(紧握)at one another’s hands for reassurance(安慰).They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. Then set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up with listening to the same record together. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that many people are doing it. They have come out of their cocoon(茧)into a larger cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be.And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds to a great barrier(障碍)for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to sh are with your classmates at once, well, go to it. Find yourself. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.【文章大意】本文鼓励青少年要有自己的思维, 不要依赖父母或随波逐流。

入舵市安恙阳光实验学校河南2017高考英语阅读理解九月学生选练（一）【阅读理解】William Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13,1865. His childhood lacked the harmony (和睦) that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of childhood but its pain”. In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family—both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama (戏剧) and poetry.Yeats had strong faith in the coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s.His early theatrical experiments，however，were not received favorably at the beginning. He didn't lose heart，and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats's poems attract much admiring notice.The subject matter includes love，nature，history，time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition.He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923.Yet，he continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40，he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. After Yeats's death in 1939, W．H. Auden wrote, among others, the following lines：Earth，receive an honoured guest：William Yeats is laid to rest.Let the Irish vessel (船) lieEmptied of its poetry.本文介绍了爱尔兰著名作家威廉·巴特勒叶慈，他在19世纪90年代成立了爱尔兰国家剧院，他以诗体戏剧及诗歌闻名，于1923年获得了诺贝尔奖。

One of the biggest social issues in Japan is the increasingly low marriage rate among young people and the small birth rate, which led to an aging and eventually shrinking（萎缩） population. Most young Japanese women simply don’t seem interested in having many children. Now what began in Japan is happening globally. As David Brooks wrote, birth rate is becoming smaller in much of the world, from Iran — 1.7 births rate per woman — to Russian, where low birth rates connected with high death rates mean the population is already shrinking. And this includes US, which has long had higher birth rates than most developed nations. Aging countries will face the burden of caring for large elderly populations without a larger resource of young workers.It’s true that global aging is going to present some major challenges. Who will take care of the elderly? Will an older world be less active and slower to change and adap t? It’s all true. Sometimes I worry about a coming generational war over resources, just as I worry about how I will take care of my own parents in their old age, just as I worry about who might take care of me.But here’s the thing: an older world may have less pressure on the environment. As we all know, the environment is the real victim of overpopulation.So maybe a world that grows slower and grows older will put less pressure on the environment, and buy us a few more years to ensure our energy use, along with our birthrates, reaches a sustainable（可持续的）level. After all, we’re supposed to get smarter as we got older. Hopefully that holds true for the planet as well.1. The population issue in Japan was mentioned to ___________.A. show young people’s preference to marriageB. introduce the topic of global birth rate becoming smallerC. indicate the deeper cause of Japan’s depressionD. emphasize the revolution of Japanese women2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to David Brook?A. The birth rates all over the world are becoming smaller.B. The most developed countries have higher death rates.C. America is the only developed country with higher birth rate.D. Birth rate’s becoming smaller means a great risk to aging countries.3. Which will be caused by low birth rates according to the passage?A. Aging society.B. Environmental problems.C. High death rates.D. Low employment rates.4.

After a terrible electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a plough and a wall. When Mrs. Edwards came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread, and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.1.The reason for Robert’s attemp ts to kill himself was that _________.A. a terrible traffic accident happened to himB. he had to live in a dark and silent worldC. he was struck by the lightning once moreD. nobody in the world cared about him2.What was Robert doing when he was struck by the lightning?A. Sheltering from the rain under a tree.B. Driving a car.C. Taking a walk with a stick.D. Lying on the ground.3.We can infer from the text that ________.A. there was no accurate explanation for Robert’s recoveryB. many doctors came because Robert was badly injuredC. Robert’s wife sent for doctors immediately after the shockD. a sudden injury in the head led to Robert’s recovery4.What’s the best title of the whole passage?A. A Terrible Electrical AccidentB. Robert Edwards and His WifeC. What a Sudden ShockD. An Unforgettable Experience参考答案1—4 BAAC2016高考英语阅读理解--政治经济文化类Americans get some of their news and entertainment from public television and radio. These public media receive money to operate from private citizens, organizations and government. Many of their programs are educational. But most of the American media are run by businesses for profit. These privately owned media have changed greatly in recent years. Newspapers, magazines and traditional broadcast television organizations have lost some of their popularity. At the same time, online, cable and satellite media have increased in numbers and strength. So have media that serve racial groups and those communicating in foreign languages.In general, more media than ever now provide Americans with news and entertainment. At the same time, fewer owners control them. Huge companies have many holdings(股份). In some areas, one company controls much of the media. One dramatic change in American media is the increased success of cable television. It comes into most homes over wires. It does not use the public airwaves to present programs, as broadcast television does. Like broadcast television, most cable television programs perform advertisements. This is true although people must pay to see cable television in their homes. Thirty years ago, few people had cable. Today, about sixty-eight percent of American homes have cable television. Television by satellite also is gaining popularity.Over the years, traditional broadcast organizations have tried to appeal to as many watchers as possible. Many cable companies, however, present programs for one special group of viewers. For example, there are cable stations for people who like books, cooking, travel, golf or comedy.【小题1】Which of the following is true about American public media? A．They depend on the government.B．They are controlled by the governmentC．They are freeD．They can earn money.【小题2】Which of the following properly shows the change in these privately owned media?A．Newspapers are getting more popular.B．Satellite media is getting more popular.C．Traditional media also serve racial groups.D．Some media make their programs in foreign languages【小题3】From the second paragraph, we learn that .A．broadcast TV and cable TV programs include sales messagesB．more media are out of controlC．American media is dramaticD．cable TV is free【小题4】What would be the best title for the text?A．American news and entertainmentB．Public television and radio mediaC．media in the United StatesD．Cable programs in the United States2016高考英语阅读理解--政治经济文化类While working in Southeast Asia in the mid 1990’s, I became a branch manager in a factory. At the beginning, I used human relations principles, such as putting myself into the others place to help gain trust. After a few months, I was told that the factory team members liked and trusted me.Then the owner, seeing how everyone thought well of me, believed that I could become an instrument of change to carry out his several unpopular programs. The factory members resisted and eventually saw me as a puppet controlled by the owner. The more I insisted th at they ‘follow orders’ the more they found ways to weaken the new changes.Finally, I was replaced by a manager who knew enough to please both masters. Even though the owner did not like the fact that his new changes were not immediately applied, the new manager gained his power by the support received from his team together with an intention to find a way. What I learned was that your team must always see you as supportive of their needs, even to the extent that the owner may not be pleased that you are unable to follow their wishes. At the end of the day, if your people do not follow you then you are no longer in charge and will be replaced.At first I blamed my boss for putting me in such a position. Then in honest reflection, I began to realize that he had probably hoped that I would have found some middle ground. What I could have done was to first obtain their advice about why they did not wish to follow the new policy changes, and then I should have used my influence with both the owner and team members to find a better way.Though, in fact it is a painful lesson for me, it has served me well along my career path!【小题1】What can we learn from the passage?A．Obeying is the best quality.B．Giving is always a pleasure.C．Appreciating others will benefit a lot.D．Dealing with relationship is important.【小题2】The underlined word “puppet” has the similar meaning to.A．instrument B．assistantC．wretch D．winner【小题3】Which is the right order according to the passage?a. He was removed from his position.b. He got on poorly with the coworkers.c. He carried out the orders of the owner.d. He became a branch manager.f. He was believed in not only by coworkers but leaders.A．a, b, d, c, f B．f, d, c, b, aC．d, f, c, b, a D．d, c, f, b, a【小题4】From the third paragraph we can infer that .A．the new manager carried out the programs at onceB．the new manager got on badly with workersC．workers need to be recognized and supportedD．you should make full use of your power【云南省昆明市2014一模试卷】CWindbreaks are barriers ( 屏障) formed by trees and other plants. Farmers plant these barriers around their fields, which help prevent the loss of soil, stop the wind from blowing soil away. They also keep the wind from damaging or destroying crops. Besides, extra trees and plants can be cut down and used or sold for wood.Windbreaks can be highly valuable for protecting grain crops. For example, in parts of West Africa grain harvests were as much as twenty percent higher in fields protected by windbreaks compared to fields without them. But here is something interesting about windbreaks. They seem to work best when they allow some wind to pass through the barrier of trees or plants around a field. If not, then the movement of air close to the ground will lift the soil. Then the soil will be blown away. For this reason, a windbreak works best if it contains only 60 to 80 percent of the trees and plants that would be needed to make a solid line. An easy rule to remember is that windbreaks can protect areas up to 10 times the height of the tallest trees in the windbreak.There should be at least two lines in each windbreak. One line should be large trees. The second line, right next to it, can be shorter trees or other plants with leaves. Locally grown trees and plants are considered the best choices for windbreaks. Trees reduce the damaging effects of wind and rain. Their roots help protect soil from being washed away. And trees can provide animals outdoors with shade from the sun.9. The advantages of building a windbreak are as follows except _____.A. keeping the wind from destroying grain cropsB. increasing the production of grain harvestsC. providing humans with shade from the sunD. reducing the damaging effects of wind and rain10. The author thinks windbreaks are interesting because ______.A. the movement of air lifts the soilB. windbreaks allow some wind to pass throughC. large trees are lined with short onesD. windbreaks can stop the wind getting through11. If the trees grow to a height of 30 feet, the areas the windbreak can protect are ______.A. 100 square feetB. 150 square feetC. 240 square feetD. 300 square feet12. What can be inferred from the text?A. Extra trees and plants can be cut down for wood.B. The environment is going from bad to worse.C. Trees and plants from abroad are the best for windbreaks.D. Windbreaks can contribute to agriculture harvests.【参考答案】9—12、CBDD【云南省昆明市2014一模试卷】DOf the several films Hirokazu has made about childhood and children, this one is the most modest, but no less pleasing for its delicate style and small setting. I Wish was originally called Miracle, and the change is for the better. The two-word title makes you want to know who's wishing for what, while the single word sounds plain and self-praising. This wise and funny film works small miracles in describing such a moment when kids turn from the wishfulness of childhood into shaping the world for themselves.The sweetly reflective hero, a sixth-grader named Koichi, starts out by wishing for a volcano to erupt. Not just any volcano, but the one that towers above his town, smoking heavily and giving off ash. An eruption would lead to a withdrawing, which would lead, at least in his mind, to a reunion with his father and kid brother, who've been living in Hakata while Koichi lives with his mother and retired grandparents in Kagoshima. The volcano, knowing nothing of this, refuses to erupt, but Koichi hears of another approach to realizing the desired miracle.One of the pleasures of I Wish is watching how kids behave —how Koichi attacks his dinner, for example. Another pleasure is rediscovering how kids think. These kids can be logical and ever so tricky. But children's thought processes can also be fancy. A boy wishes he could play baseball like one of baseball stars, who eats curry for breakfast; so he, too, starts eating curry for breakfast, instead of practicing on the field. Another boy tries to wish his dead dog, Marble, back to life. And what does Koichi finally wish for? I wish you'd see this delightful film to find out.13. Why has the name of the film been changed from Miracle to I Wish?A. The former is ambiguous and self-praising.B. The latter is easier to arouse audience's interest.C. The latter is easy for audience to remember.D. The former isn't related to the content of the film.14 Koichi wishes the volcano to erupt so that he can _______ .A. enjoy the wonderful scene of a volcanoB. help those who suffer from the eruptionC. get together with his family membersD. work miracles during the disaster15. What does the writer intend to do in this text?A. To share pleasures of watching a film.B. To make a review on a film.C. To discuss kids' behavior and thoughts.D. To recommend a film.【参考答案】13—15、BCD。

An international business specialist group has announced that the move towards a green economy is becoming more urgent for emerging economies(新兴经济体)，especially South Africa.On Monday，Innovation Group announced that green economic policies were becoming increasingly important on the global landscape and for emerging economies.According to Pule Mokoena，from Innovation Group，experts believe the adoption of these green policies wil l assist with“ailing(不景气的)economies”．“The move to a green economy，such as the adoption of alternative energy solutions，should be adopted by economies and countries.”Mokoena's comments came as Greenpeace Africa called on the South African government to review its decision to include nuclear energy into the country's energy plan.In order to avoid all energy crisis in the country，the_energy_mix_had_to_be_diversified，including broadening energy carriers to include gas，nuclear，biomass，renewable(wind，solar and hydro)，as well as the efficient use of the existing resources，such as coal.For this reason，nuclear energy will account for 23 percent of South Africa's energy needs，followed by coal at 15 percent，hydro at six percent，gas six percent，turbines six percent and renewable energy 42 percent.However，Pule said there are other options for South Africa's energy needs.“Too many companies are focusing on the costs of green policies，rather than focusing on the long－term benefits，”explained Mokoena.Nobel economics winner Joseph Stiglitz and the former World Bank chief economist agree with Mokoena and believe that the need to switch to green technology should be seen as an opportunity and not as a burden. When in South Africa earlier this year，Stiglitz said a switch to green technology would stimulate demand for a range of goods and services，which would have a beneficial impact on the aftermath of the global recession. He urged policymakers not to be held back by short－term perspectives.Innovation Group has already developed a reliable alternate energy solution，which the company believes will change the landscape of this emerging market and other companies will follow suite and offer renewable energy solutions for emerging economies.“We are quickly becoming an industr y leader in this space thanks to our in－house expert knowledge on the various SWH technologies available and the application of our Business Process Outsourcing Solutions，which allow for the mass roll－out of these technologies on a national scale.We are proud to be an active part of the solution to the current energy crisis and plan to become a major force in the drive towards sustainability and good environmental practice，”Pule said.【语篇解读】像南非这样的新兴经济体经历了经济的快速发展之后会面临能源危机，而走绿色发展道路是唯一的出路。

According to the US government, wind farms off the Pacific coast could produce 900 gigawatts of electricity every year. Unfortunately, the water there is far too deep for even the tallest windmills (see picture) to touch bottom. An experiment under way off the coast of Norway, however, could help put them anywhere.The project, c alled Hywind, is the world’s first large-scale deepwater wind turbine (涡轮发电机). Although it uses a fairly standard 152-ton, 2. 3-megawatt turbine, Hywind represents totally new technology. The turbine will be fixed 213 feet above the water on a floating spar(see picture), a technology Hywind’s creator, the Norwegian company StatoilHydro, has developed recently. The steel spar, which is filled with stones and goes 328 feet below the sea surface, will be tied to the ocean floor by three cables (缆索); these will keep the spar stable and prevent the turbine from moving up and down in the waves. Hywind’s stability (稳定性) in the cold and rough sea would prove that even the deepest corners of the ocean are suitable for wind power. If all goes according to plan, the turbine will start producing electricity six miles off the coast of southwestern Norway as early as September.To produce electricity on a large scale, a commercial wind farm will have to use bigger turbines than Hywind does, but it’s difficult enough to balance such a large turbine so high on a floating spar in the middle of the ocean. To make that turbine heavier, the wh ole spar’s centre of gravity must be moved much closer to the ocean’s surface. To do that, the company plans to design a new kind of wind turbine, onewhose gearbox (变速箱) sits at sea level rather than behind the blades (see picture).Hywind is a test run, but the benefits for perfecting floating wind-farm technology could be extremely large. Out at sea, the wind is often stronger and steadier than close to shore, where all existing offshore windmills are planted. Deep-sea farms are invisible from land, which helps overcome the windmill-as-eyesore objection. If the technology catches on, it will open up vast areas of the planet’s surface to one of the best low-carbon power sources available.1. The Hywind project uses totally new technology to ensure the stability of .A. the cables which tie the spar to the ocean floorB. the spar which is floating in deep-sea waterC. the blades driven by strong and steady sea windD. the stones filled in the spar below the sea surface2. To balance a bigger turbine high on a floating spar, a new type of turbine is to be designed with its gearbox sitting .A. on the sea floorB. on the spar topC. at sea levelD. behind the blades3. Wide applications of deepwater wind power technology can .A. solve the technical problems of deepwater windmillsB. make financial profits by producing more turbinesC. settle the arguments about environmental problemsD. explore low-carbon power resources available at sea【参考答案】1-3 BCD2016高考训练题。

Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of areas for burying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realise just how much unnecessary material we are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.1. What does the underlined phrase “that over-consumption” refer to?A. Using too much packaging.B. Recycling too many wastes.C. Making more products than necessary.D. Having more material than is needed.2. The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show .A. the tendency of cutting household wasteB. the increase of packaging recyclingC. the rapid growth of supermarketsD. the fact of packaging overuse3. According to the text, recycling .A. helps control the greenhouse effectB. means burning packaging for energyC. is the solution to gas shortageD. leads to a waste of land4. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A. Unpackaged products are of bad quality.B. Supermarkets care more about packaging.C. It is improper to judge quality by packaging.D. Other products are better packaged than food.5. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Fighting wastefulness is difficult.B. Needless material is mostly recycled.C. People like collecting recyclable wastes.D. The author is proud of their consumer culture.【参考答案】1-5 DDACA2016高考训练--阅读理解。

Having a great teacher can be life－changing. Mr. Goodney, my 9th grade Advanced English teacher, pushed me in ways I hadn’t been pushed in the classroom previously. He didn’t grade me compared to my classmates；he graded us on a personal grading scale.Mr. Goodney encouraged me but I just couldn’t seem to please Mr. Goodney, no matter how hard I worked.I continued to see the dreaded Bs, sometimes even a C, so frequently that I said goodbye to my hopes of being a middle student. I was a really diligent nerd(令人厌烦的人).Yet at the end of the semester when report cards came out, I had an “A” next to my English class, and I realized that the letter he had written on my report card was just a way to make me work harder than I ever had.He made me push myself to think deeper, write better, and analyze more thoroughly. He didn’t hate me as I initially thought, and I looked back embarrassed about all those times when I showed frustration and dissatisfaction with a returned grade.He would write a positive comment on one of my papers that would invigorate_me to work even harder even if I made a little bit progress. These sporadic (零星的) good words would motivate me to do whatever it took to earn those praising comments on my next paper and push me to try and top my last assignment. After we all improved he expected perfection and those high standards made all of us better writers, creators, good students, and useful people.Mr. Goodney inspired me to become an English teacher although I felt like I fell below his standards in a classroom. Now I have become a high school teacher. Thinking of him from time to time makes me try to come up with fresh and creative teaching ways just as he did.From my experience I believe a good teacher is very important. Mr. Goodney inspires me to this day, and I wish I could travel back to the 9th grade for just one day in the old classroom, so I can fully thank him, which I didn’t do at that time.1. According to the passage, Mr. Goodney graded the author________.A．in order to encourage himB．according to his real marksC．compared to his classmatesD．as most teachers usually do2. What do we know about the author from the passage?A. He only did well in English and often got praises.B．He didn’t study his lessons hard enough.C．He got good marks on one of his report cards.D．He had confidence in becoming a top student.3. The underline d words “invigorate me” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by________. A．take pity on meB．encourage meC．play tricks on meD．offer me help4．After getting a positive comment, the author________.A．tried to do better next timeB．thought his teacher liked him bestC．thanked his teacher immediatelyD．felt proud of him too much[解题导语] 一个好的老师可以改变一个人的命运。

I’ve spent o ver a year in India, and in those 365plus days, I’ve learned a lot about getting aroundIndian cities. My biggest lessons have been learnedthrough being cheated, particularly by taxi andrickshaw(人力车)drivers, but that doesn’t mean thoseare bad ways to travel, as long as you know what you’redoing. Below are the best ways to get around the cityof Delhi, India, and tips for how to keep from being the victim of scams(欺诈).Taking taxis is a great way to get around the city of Delhi and chances are, if you arrive in Delhi by plane, as soon as you make it through customs, you’ll be swarmed by Indian taxi drivers. At the Delhi airport, be sure to arrange for a taxi to your hotel at one of the two Delhi Traffic Police Taxi Booths. One is inside the airport, and one is outside. The key is to make sure to go to a booth run by the police, rather than by independent taxi drivers.Rickshaws are one of my favorite ways to get around Indian cities, in part because it’s how the locals often travel. Auto-rickshaws are more common, but bicycle rickshaws are still used in Old Delhi. If you do have a chance to take a bicycle rickshaw, you should do it at least once for a unique experience that should only set you back about 15 rupees. Auto-rickshaw rates around Delhi range between 30 and 80 rupees, depending on distance.If you really want to travel around Delhi like the locals, take a public bus. Indian buses become very crowded and most do not have air conditioning. They are, however, very cheap. A bus trip won’t set you back any more than 15 rupees, as long as you stay within the city limits. Since Indian buses get so crowded, try to board the bus at the start of the route so you can get a seat.The train is a great way to get around within the city of Delhi. Fares arereasonable, between 6 and 22 rupees. All departure announcements are in both Hindi and English, and tokens can be purchased for between 6 and 22 rupees.【文章大意】本文作者对于在印度德里旅行时提出了几点交通方面的建议。

PLAYA GRANDE, COSTA RICA? This resort town was long known for Leatherback Sea Turtle (棱皮龟) national Park, nightly turtle beach tours and even a sea turtle museum. However, on a beach where dozens of turtles used to nest on a given night, scientists spied only 32 leatherbacks all of last year.With leatherbacks threatened with extinction (灭绝), Playa Grande’s turtle museum was abandoned three years ago and now sits among a sea of weeds. And the beachside ticket office for turtle tours was washed away by a high tide in September. “We do not promote that as a turtle tourism destination any more because we realize there are far too few turtles to please,” said Alvaro Fonseca, a park ranger (管理员).Even before scientists found temperatures going up over the past decade, sea turtles were threatened by beach development, drift net fishing and Costa Ricans interest in eating turtle eggs. But climate change may cause the most serious harm to an animal that has lived in the Pacific for 150 million years.Sea turtles are sensitive to numerous effects of warming. They feed on reefs, which are dying in hotter seas. They lay eggs on beaches that are being covered by rising seas and more violent waves.More uniquely their gender (性别) is determined, not by genes but by the egg’s temperature during development. Small rises in beach temperatures can result in ail-female populations, obviously problematic for survival. If the sand around the eggs hits 30 degrees Celsius, the gender balance shits to females: at about 32 degrees they are all female. Above 34, you get boiled eggs.On some nesting beaches, scientists are artificially cooling nests with shade or irrigation and trying to protect broader areas of coastal property from developmentto ensure that turtles have a place to nest as the seas rise.1. Why does the resort town stop promoting it’s turtle tourism?A. It decides not to disturb the turtles’ normal life.B. Tourists have lost interest in watching turtles.C. There are only very few turtles now.D. The turtle museum was destroyed by a high tide.2. Which of the following is the major factor in the turtles endangerment?A. The locals eating habit.B. Drift net fishing.C. Beach development.D. Global warming.3. We learn from the last paragraph that scientists .A. are doing research on the sea riseB. are moving turtles to new homesC. are prote cting turtles’ nestsD. are getting rid of sea weeds4. The passage intends to .A. introduce a special kind of sea turtleB. explain the mystery of turtles’ eggsC. show the dangers a certain kind of turtle is facingD. attract more visitors to a sea turtle museum【参考答案】1—4、CDCC2016高考英语****阅读理解。

【2013·潍坊5月模拟】“Oh，you must have been a spoiled (宠坏的) kid.You must be really bossy.I wonder what you’re going to be like to deal with？” That’s often the response Angela Hult gets when people find out she’s an only child，she told ABC News.Despite such negative (消极的) remarks，Hult has decided to have only one child herself.And she’s not alone.According to the US’ Office for National Statistics，women approaching the end of their childbearing years had an average of 1.9 children in 2004，compared with 3.1 for their counterparts in 1976.The percentage of onechild families in Britain had risen from 18 percent in 1972 to 26 percent in 2007.But even though only children are becoming increasingly common，the traditional view that they’re selfish，spoiled and lack social skills holds strong.Even parents of only children，like Hult，are made to feel guilty about having only one child.Worried that they’re being selfish and endangering their child’s future，they flock to online discussion forums seeking advice.Soon，however，they ask themselves：is this social prejudice really reasonable?“There have been hundreds and hundreds of research studies that show that only children are no different from their peers (同龄人)，” Susan Newman，a social psychologist at Rutgers University in the US，told ABC News.This raises another question：why are only children still viewed with such suspicion?“There is a belief that’s been around probably since humans first existed that to have just one child is somehow dangerous，both for you and for the continuation of your race，” Toni Falbo，a professor of educational psychology，told the Guardian.“In the past a lot of children died.You’d have had to be crazy to only have one.”Times，of course，have changed and infant mortality (婴儿死亡率) has largely reduced.So what do only children themselves say?Kayley Kravitz，a blogger for The Huffington Post，grew up as an only child and highly recommends the experience.“Being an only childtaught me the most valuable skill of all：the ability to be alone，” she said.1．Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A．Are only children lonely?B．Are only children common?C．Are only children dangerous?D．Are only children different?2．What does Susan Newman mean?A． Only children are as good as their peers.B．Only children are more selfish and spoiled.C．Parents feel guilty about having only one child.D．Parents will endanger their only child’s future.3．What is the common belief since human existed?A．The infant death rate always stays high.B．People are crazy to have only one child.C．It’s easy for only children to earn their living.D．It’s hard to continue the family line with only one child.4．An only child like Kayley________.A．must be difficult to persuadeB．can possibly learn to be aloneC．should value special skillsD．need ignore bad experience5．What’s the author’s attitude towards having only one child?A．Neutral. B．Negative.C．Positive. D．Doubtful.语篇解读本文是一篇议论文。

Anybody who enjoys the cinema knows that when the final credits roll they include everyone who has contributed —Director, Performers, Best Boy, Make Up, etc.It usually takes over a hundred people working a year to make a feature film, ten people to produce a pop promo (流行电视节目预告片) and around twenty to film a documentary. The reason so many people are involved is because films need to be made quickly and on budget.Many famous directors started by making films completely on their own —Orson Welles, George Lucas, Robert Rodrigues. You may not have the special effects and big budgets of Hollywood but you do have time on your side. Use it to experiment and make a few mistakes. It’s the way to learn. And that’s where the fun begins. Go on; make a film.Now, let’s talk about how to prepare for the shoot (拍摄).If you’re making the film with other people, organize your cast and crew effectively. Make sure everybody knows their role and what day and time they’re needed.Give people specific jobs so they can become experts in their field. For example, a sound recordist listens to the sound through headphones as it’s being recorded, and holds an extra microphone if needed.A camera operator frames the picture, sets focus, checks the light and records the action.The editor “cuts” the picture together after it’s shot.A producer is the contact point for the film. He or she makes sure crew and cast are there on time, talks to the press and organizes the budget.A director has to make sure their vision is communicated. To do this everyone needs to be clear about what the director expects from each scene and each shot.You may also need a make-up-artist, a choreographer, a driver, etc. However, you can quite easily make your first film on your own. Make a schedule that says which shots are to be taken where and when (this is called a shooting schedule) and when you’ve completed a take, cross it off the list. Remember that you may want to shoot “out of sequence”, e.g. shoot the last scene first, and the first last. Similarly if the film begins and ends by a tree in the park, it may make sense to film both scenes while you’re there.Continuity is particularly important in drama. Take a Polaroid camera and take photosto capture details. You may need to come back to a scene days later. When you decide your locations, consider whether you need permission to use the space, how noisy it will be and what the light will be like at the time of day you will need to use it. Is there power available? Are you likely to be interrupted?If you’re making animation (动画片) or any computer generated stuff, have a space that you can control. You may need extra lights and you may need to leave work in progress. Make sure people living with you are aware what’s happening. Animation needs a lot of undisturbed concentration a nd patience. Keep at it and it’ll pay off. Aardmann and Disney both started off at home experimenting with clay (黏土), pens and a camera.46.
