(c)solar-powered bus shelters are to be introduced throughout the west of scotland. transport chiefs have decided that where there is darkness there should be light and are to install hundreds of the eco-friendly(对环境无害的)shelters across glasgow as well as neighbouring towns and villages. they plan to use the power of the sunwith the help of long life batteriesto light the shelters. traditionally，lit shelters feature illuminated (加了灯饰的)advertisements and as a result the electricity bills are paid by the private sector. there are almost 1, 700 lit shelters but passengers are actually kept in the dark at night when using more than 2, 700 others. today，however，officials at strathclyde partnership for transport got the green light to introduce solar powered shelters. they carried out a year-long test at 13 bus stops in glasgow and another two in east kilbride. the trial was such a success that spt chiefs plan a rolling programme which will result in up to 100 shelters being replaced every year with solar-powered ones.“within the last few years technology has advanced and trials have shown that using solar power to illuminate bus shelters is now practicable. the technology is simple to maintain，needing only regular cleaning and batteries being replaced every five to seven years. ”going green，however，doesnt come cheap. the cost of installing just one solar-powered shelter comes in at 1, 425，so replacing all 2, 700 of the currently unlit shelters will run up an eventual bill of 3. 8 million. 64. traditionally，the electricity bills of lit shelters are paid by private companies. why? abecause the shelters belong to private companies. bbecause the government force private companies to pay the bills. cbecause private companies make advertisements on the shelters. dbecause it is a tradition to pay the bills by private companies. 65how many shelters does the passage refer to? aalmost 1, 700. bmore than 2, 700. c100. dabout 4, 400. 66spt carried out a year-long test to find _ . awhether it is possible to use solar-powered sheltersbwhether it is possible to replace all the shelters in one yearcwhich is cheaper，to use electricity from the mains supply or to use solar powerdhow much money it will cost to replace all 2, 700 of the currently unlit shelters67which of the following is true according to the passage? aonly solar-powered bus shelters are used throughout the west of scotland. bthe one-year-long test carried out by officials at spt was a failure. csolar power is not only environment-friendly but also cheap. dusing solar-powered shelters is environment-friendly but not cheap. (d)skyscrapers (摩天大楼)and domed (拱形的) stadiums can amaze us. these modern “wonders of the world” are great achievements in building. but our modern buildings may seem small when compared to some ancient structures. our buildings may be large，hold many people，and protect us. however，many ancient structures stand as some of the greatest achievements in building. ancient builders used great creativity and physical strength to plan and complete them. stonehenge is a huge stone circle in europe. it was built more than 4, 000 years ago. the circle has stone slabs (厚板) that stand up to 30 feet tall. the heaviest stones in the circle weigh about 50 tons. how did people build stonehenge without modern equipment? scientists have studied it for years and think it probably took more than 30 million hours to complete the project. tourists in africa like to see the great pyramids of egypt. these tombs for egyptian kings were built over 4, 000 years ago. each tomb has walls shaped like triangles (三角形) and a square (正方形的) base. the largest pyramid is more than 450 feet tall and contains more than two million stones. each stone weighs more than two tons. some even weigh as much as 200 tons. more than 900 workers worked to move the largest stones into place. the stone faces are unusual structures on easter island. the faces are 12 to 20 feet high. islanders made them more than 1, 000 years ago. we do not know why they built them. there are more than 600 stone faces on the island. the great number is surprising，since easter island is only 11 miles long and 15 miles wide. these give only a glimpse of the ancient achievements in building. if we look back through history，we can find many more examples of marvelous (非凡的) structures built without the aid of modern tools and equipment. 68. what does the underlined sentence (in paragraph 1) mean? a. ancient structures are taller than modern buildings. b. modern buildings seem smaller than ancient structures. c. modern buildings cant be compared to ancient structures. d. ancient structures are greater achievements than modern ones. 69. according to the passage，we know that _ . a. it is unbelievable to have so many stone faces on easter islandb. stonehenge was completed by more than 900 workersc. the heaviest stone for the faces weighs about 50 tonsd. one pyramid needs 600 pieces of stone70. what is the main idea of this passage? a. modern builders have learned a great deal by studying ancient structures. b. modern builders have shown great creativity in the structures they have made. c. ancient builders created some finest structures without modern methods or materials. d. ancient builders could not create structures as great as modern ones. (e)it is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. it is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the drivers seat is another matter. road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. it takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. on the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. a friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good-will and calm so necessary in modern traffic conditions. but such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. many drivers nowadays dont even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it. however, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in time. the same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to. an experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic streams without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. unfortunately, modern drivers cant even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship. years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. it is high time for all of us to take this message to heart. 71. the passage mainly talks about _ . a. road politenessb. traffic jamsc. good mannersd. modern drivers72. troubles on the road are often caused by _ . a. traffic jamsb. the behaviors of the driversc. the great speedd. terrible road conditions73. according to the writer, a good driver should _ . a. beat back when forced to face rude drivingb. be able to recognize politeness when he sees itc. encourage old ladies to cross the roads whenever they want tod. join in traffic streams quickly however other people feel74. the following statements are right except that _ . a. some modern drivers are not good at drivingb. road politeness is good sense as well as good mannersc. it is also right to have a tiger in the drivers seatd. a friendly driver should nod or wave in answer to an act of politeness75. it is not always right for drivers to _ . a. master roadmanshipb. recognize politeness when they see itc. encourage old ladies to cross the road whenever and wherever they want tod. give a friendly nod in answer to an act of politeness第卷(非选择题). 书面表达(共1题；满分35分)假设你是jack, 五年后再次来到这个城市，发现它变化很大，如图所示。你给朋友mary发电子邮件，告诉她这里的变化。信的开头和结尾已为你写好，不计入总词数。注意：1. 词数100左右2. 参考词汇：立交桥overpass；私家车 private cardear mary, this city has changed a lot in the past 5 years. _welcome you here. yours，jack【备选题】. 任务型阅读(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)2011西安高一检测根据文章内容， 从下列af选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。a. wash yourself as often as possibleb. avoid being in hot sunc. keep away from smoke and alcohold. the importance of skine. have a balanced dietf. be sure to have enough water1. when it comes to your skin, there is an important fact that you must keep in mind: your skin is the largest
