Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our clea nest and richest power sources (来
源), as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmil ls (风
车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh cent ury BC. They were fi
rst introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies retur ned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power .
For many centuries, people used windmills to grind (磨
碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground w hen electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by th e 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the , windmills were rarely used.
During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about t he pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to p roduce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movem ent to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.
风能早在公元前七世纪就开始被人们用风车所利用,当人们发明了电以后,风能被用来发电,但随着电的广泛使用,风车逐渐不被人们使用了。

而进入二十世纪七十年代后,人们又逐渐认识到了风能的优势。

1.From the text we know that windmills ________.
A. were invented by European armies
B. have a history of more than 2,800 years
C. used to supply power to radio in remote areas
D. have rarely been used since electricity was discovered
答案:C。

细节理解题。

A German study suggests that people who were too optimistic about their future actually faced greater risk of disability or de ath within 10 years than those pessimists who expected their f uture to be worse.
The paper, published this March in Psychology and Aging, ex amined health and welfare surveys from roughly 40,
000 Germans between ages 18 and 96.The surveys were con ducted every year from 1993 to 2003.
Survey respondents (受访
者) were asked to estimate their present and future life satisfa ction on a scale of 0 to 10, among other questions.
The researchers found that young adults (age 18 to 39) routin ely overestimated their future life satisfaction, while middle-aged adults (age 40 to 64) more accurately predicted how the y would feel in the future.Adults of 65 and older, however, wer e far more likely to underestimate their future life satisfaction. Not only did they feel more satisfied than they thought they w ould, the older pessimists seemed to suffer a lower ratio (比
率) of disability and death for the study period.
“We observed that being too optimistic in predicting a better fu ture than actually observed was associated with a greater risk of disability and a greater risk of death within the following de cade,” wrote Frieder R.Lang, a professor at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg.
Lang and his colleagues believed that people who were pessi mistic about their future may be more careful about their actio ns than people who expected a rosy future.
“Seeing a dark future may encourage positive evaluations of t he actual self and may contribute to taking improved precauti ons (预防措施),” the authors wrote.
Surprisingly, compared with those in poor health or who had l ow incomes, respondents who enjoyed good health or income were associated with expecting a greater decline.Also, the re searchers said that higher income was related to a greater ris k of disability.
The authors of the study noted that there were limitations to th eir conclusions.Illness, medical treatment and personal loss c ould also have driven health outcomes.
However, the researchers said a pattern was clear.“W e found that from early to late adulthood, individuals adapt their expec tations of future life satisfaction from optimistic, to accurate, to
pessimistic,” the authors concluded.
67.According to the study, who made the most accurate pre diction of their future life satisfaction?
A.Optimistic adults.
B.Middle-aged adults.
C.Adults in poor health.
D.Adults of lower income.
68.Pessimism may be positive in some way because it caus es people ________.
A.to fully enjoy their present life
B.to estimate their contribution accurately
C.to take measures against potential risks
D.to value health more highly than wealth
69.How do people of higher income see their future? A.They will earn less money.
B.They will become pessimistic.
C.They will suffer mental illness.
D.They will have less time to enjoy life.
70.What is the clear conclusion of the study? A.Pessimism guarantees chances of survival.
B.Good financial condition leads to good health.
C.Medical treatment determines health outcomes. D.Expectations of future life satisfaction decline with age.【要点综述】本文是一篇议论文,主要讲述对未来过于乐观的人将面对残疾或死亡的巨大危险。

在研究中,研究人员发现,年轻人对未来过于乐观,中年人对未来的预测很准确,而老年人相对低估。

随着年龄的增长,人们对未来的预测越来越现实。

67.B 细节理解题。

根据第四段中的“…while middle-aged adults (age 40 to 64) more accurately predicted how the y would feel in the future.”知,中年人对未来预测得更准确。

故B正确。

68.C 细节理解题。

根据第六段中的
“…people who were pessimistic about their future may be mo re careful about their actions …”知,对未来悲观的人可能在行动时更小心、更谨慎。

句中的be more careful about与
take measures against potential risks一致。

故C正确。

69.A 细节理解题。

根据第八段中的
“…respondents who enjoyed good health or income were ass ociated with expecting a greater decline.”知,身体好、收入高的人认为,他们的收入在未来将会下降,即挣的钱少了。

故A 正确。

70.D 推理判断题。

根据最后一段中的内容可知,研究人员认为有一点很清楚:从少年到成年,每个人都在调整自己对未
来生活的满意度,从乐观,到适度到悲观。

故D正确。

Too much TV-
watching can harm children's ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies sugges t in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on chil dren. One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern third-graders. Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children wi thout bedroom TVs. A second study ,looking at nearly 1000 gr own-
ups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26-year –
olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood. But the res ults don't prove that TV is
the cause and don't ride out that already poorly motivated you ngsters (年轻人)may watch lots of TV. Their
study measured the TV habits of 26-year-
olds between ages5 and 15. These with college degrees had watch an average of less than two hours of TV per week night during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2
1/2 hours for those who had no ed
ucation beyond high school. In the study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers sco red the highest. While this study does not prove that bedroom
TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to accumulating findi ngs that children shouldn't have TVs in their bedrooms.
( ) 1. According to the study, the low-
scoring group might _________.
A. have watched a lot
of TV B. not be interested ted in math
C. be unable to go to college
D. have had computers in t heir bedrooms
( ) 2. What is the researchers' understanding of the study re sults?
A. Poorly motivated 26-year-olds watch more TV.
B. Habits of TV watching reduce learning interest.
C. TV watching leads to lower education levels of the 15-year-olds.
D. The connection between TV and education levels is difficul t to explain
( ) 3. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. More time should be spent on computers.
B. Children should be forbidden from watching TV.
C. 'IV sets shouldn't be allowed in children's bedrooms.
D. Further studies on high-
achieving students should be done.
( ) 4. What would be the best title for this text?
A. Computers or Television
B. Effects of Television on Children
C. Studies on TV and College Education
D. Television and Children's Learning Habits

Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a major cause of climate change, and
now a new study has confirmed that atmospheric CO2 is also affecting the ocean chemistry and
potentially harming sea life.
scientist Robert Dore has been researching the water in t he Pacific
Ocean for almost two decades. "We've been going to the sam e spot in the Pacific Ocean, and we
try and characterize long-
term change in the open ocean environment. And one of the k ey things
that we measure is COx levels. And We've been able to recor d this increasing quantity of
atmospheric CO, into the ocean. "Scientists expected that as atmospheric CO2 increased, more and一
more of the carbon dioxide would be absorbed into the ocean, affecting the chemical balance of
the sea water, with a potentially harmful impact on shellfish an d coral in particular.
"As carbon dioxide dissolves in the water, or seawater in thi s case, it forms a weak acid,
carbonic acid," Dore explains. "And therefore, as the concentr ation of CO2 in the atmosphere goes
up and that exchanges with the surface seawater, it drives the pH down, and makes it more
acidic."
The seawater samples Dow and his colleagues have analy zed confirm what the theory predicts.
The effect was particular striking at about 250 meters down, a nd again at 500 meters. Dore and
his colleagues came up with two possible explanations. It coul d be that surface water picked up
CO2 and then moved to those depths. Or there could be a bio logical explanation.
"It's important to realize that the oceans are really becomin
g acidic. And it can have
negative impacts on a whole variety of sea life from fish to cor al. It’s potentially catastrophic."
35. What can be the best title of the passage?
A. Sea Life Facing Danger
B. Scientist Researching Sea water
C. Oceans Becoming More Acidic
D. Climate Change Affec ting Seawater
36. With the increase of atmospheric C02,_.
A. more corals will appear in the sea
B. the surface water is becoming warmer
C. the chemical balance of the seawater is affected
D. the pH of the ocean out here has been increasing
37. Which of the following shows the process of the impact o
f atmospheric C02 on sea life?
a. Sea life is endangered.
b. C02 goes into the surface wat er.
c. The ocean chemistry is affecte
d. d. C02 levels in the atm osphere go up
e. C02 decreases the pH and makes the seawater more aci dic.
A. abcde
B. dbcea
C. aebed
D. edcba
38. Scientist Robert Dore came to the conclusion based on _.
A. his research and analysis
B. the expectation of other sci entists
C. some former theory
D. a major cause of climate change 【参考答案】35、A 36—38、CBA

“Indeed,”George Washington wrote in his diary in 1785, “so me kind of fly, or bug, had begun to eat the leaves before I left home.” But the father of America was not the father of bug.W hen Washington wrote that, Englishmen had been referring to insects as bugs for more than a century, and Americans had already created lightning-bug(萤火
虫).But the English were soon to stop using the bugs in their language, leaving it to the Americans to call a bug a bug in th e nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
The American bug could also be a person, referring to someo ne who was crazy about a particular activity.Although fan bec ame the usual term, sports fans used to be called racing bugs , baseball bugs, and the like.
Or the bug could be a small machine or object, for example, a bug-
shaped car. The bug could also be a burglar alarm, from whic h comes the expression to bug, that is, “to install(安
装) an alarm”. Now it means a small piece of equipment that p eople use for listening secretly to others' conversations.Since the 1840s, to bug has long meant“to cheat”, and since the 1 940s it has been annoying.
We also know the bug as a flaw in a computer program or oth er design.That meaning dates back to the time of Thomas Edi son.In 1878 he explained bugs as “little problems and difficulti es” that required months of study and labor to overcome in de veloping a successful product.In 1889 it was recorded that Edi son “had been up the two previous nights discovering ‘a bug’ i n his invented record player.”
68.We learn from Paragraph 1 that ________.A.Americans had difficulty in learning to use the word bug B.George Washington was the first person to call an insect a bug
C.the word bug was still popularly used in in the nineteenth century
D.both Englishmen and Americans used the word bug in the eighteenth century
69.What does the word “flaw” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Explanation. B.Finding.
C.Origin. D.Fault.
70.The passage is mainly concerned with ________.A.the misunderstanding of the word bug
B.the development of the word bug
C.the public views of the word bug
D.the special characteristics of the word bug
【要点综述】本文是说明文,主要讲单词bug在意义上的发展变化。

68.D 推理判断题。

根据“在1785,华盛顿在日记中使用bug”和“在19和20世纪,英国人停止使用bug”,说明这两国人在18世纪都使用过bug这个词。

69.D 词义猜测题。

根据“爱迪生把它解释为小问题或困难”可知,fault和flaw意思相近。

70.B 主旨大意题。

文章讲述了bug在意义上的发展。

A German study suggests that people who were too optimistic about their future actually faced greater risk of disability or death within 10 years than those pess imists who expected their future to be worse.
The paper, published this March in Psychology and Aging, examined health an d welfare surveys from roughly 40,

The researchers found that young adults (age 18 to 39) routinely overestimated their future life satisfaction, while middle-

scientist Robert Dore has been researching the water in the Pacific
Ocean for almost two decades. "We've been going to the same spot in the Pacif ic Ocean, and we
try and characterize long-
term change in the open ocean environment. And one of the key things
that we measure is COx levels. And We've been able to record this increasing q uantity of
atmospheric CO, into the ocean. "Scientists expected that as atmospheric CO2 increased, more and一
more of the carbon dioxide would be absorbed into the ocean, affecting the che mical balance of
the sea water, with a potentially harmful impact on shellfish and coral in particul ar.
"As carbon dioxide dissolves in the water, or seawater in this case, it forms a weak acid,。
