Most live in Africa, India and China. They use wood, crop waste, animal waste or coal. These solid fuels may be the least costly fuels available. But they are also a major cause of health problems and death.The Aprovecho Research Center has been designing cooking stoves for the developing world. People having less money use wood or biomass for cooking; the richer people use oil and gas. Its estimated that wood is running out more quickly than oil and gas.The group has made stoves using mud, bricks, sheet metal, clay, ceramics and old oil drums. Most of the stoves look like large, deep cooking pots. They have an opening at the bottom for the fire and a place on the top to put a pot.In the late 1970s, Aprovecho produced a popular stove called the Lorena. The Lorena was good at reducing smoke and warming homes. But new tests years later found that it was not efficient. The Lorena used twice as much wood as an open fire, and it took much longer to heat food. Since then, they have experimented with countless other designs.Their goal is to make an inexpensive stovelets say five dollarsthat makes little smoke, and its safe for health and reduces global warming and deforestation(采伐森林)Aprovecho has now partnered with a stove manufacturer in China. The company is making Aprovechos first mass produced stoves. They are said to use 40%50% less wood than an open fire, and produce 50%70% less smoke. A company called StoveTec is selling them through its website for less than ten dollars. Dean Still says that more than one hundred thousand have been sold so far.56The underlined word “biomass” in Paragraph 2 refers to_.A. oil and gasB. woodC. coalD. crop waste or animal waste答案：D猜测词义题。根据“the richer people use oil and gas”可以排除A选项。第一段中介绍发展中国家的人们使用wood, crop waste, animal waste or coal, 而biomass所在的句子为People having less money use wood or biomass for cooking, 故可排除B选项，煤炭也是需要花钱的，因此最便宜的燃料除了木头就是crop waste, animal waste。57The following sentence is taken from the passage, it should be placed at the end of_.The World Health Organization estimates that over 1,500,000 people a year die from breathing smoke from solid fuels.A. Paragraph 1. B. Paragraph 2.C. Paragraph 3. D. Paragraph 4.答案：A文章结构题。由第一段最后一句“But they are also a major cause of health problems and death.”可知这些燃料会产生很多健康问题甚至造成死亡，而题干中的句子是以具体举例来说明这些燃料的危害的，所以答案选A项。58Stoves designed by the Aprovecho Research Center should be_.luxuriouscostlyefficientlowcarboncleanerA B.C D.答案：B推理判断题。根据文章第五段内容可知，该研究中心设计的炉子应该具有价格优廉、效率高、低碳、清洁的特点。B(2012泸州一诊)Found a nice hotel but wondering if your room will really fit the bill? Launched Thursday, Room 77 () claims to be the worlds first room search engine.“There are hundreds of sites where you can get information about a hotel, but inside the hotel itself, the rooms are largely_a_black_box，” said Kevin Fleiss, the sites general manager and vicepresident of product.“Often you dont know anything about your room until you really step inside it.” To deal with that problem.Room 77 carries out a hotel s floor plan with Google Maps to determine the exact place of each individual room.Based on the request users make (e.g.high or low floor, importance of a view, etc.), room choices are various, each one with a computergenerated, clear image (图像) of the real view.At the Hyatt Regency Waikiki, for example, rooms 1010 and 1410 are both considered Grand Ocean View Double.On Room 77, however, you quickly discover that the former looks right into the Waikiki Police Station; the latter, over the top of it.All Grand Ocean View Doubles, it seems, are not equal.At this point, you can only search within a hotel youve reselected, but, still, theres no general hotel search feature and theres no guarantee that youll get the exact room youve chosen (although the company is working on both ideas)There is, however, an iPone app, an especially handy tool when a dishonest front desk clerk claims no better rooms are available. “Instead of going upstairs and deciding your rooms not a good match, you can see it for yourself along for choices，” said Fleiss.“Its all at your fingertips.”文章大意：怎样找到物有所值的房间，如何找到适合自己的房间。请登陆。59The underlined part probably means the rooms are_.A.large in size B.badly lightedC.too expensive D.mostly unknown to guests答案：D猜测词义题。由所在句后的“Often you dont know anything about your room.”可知，我们对那些房间一无所知。60The author gives the example in the third paragraph to say that_.A.its easy for guests to be misledB.Room 77 gives a real view of the roomsC.Grand Ocean View Doubles are very popularD.hotel room prices are different from floor to floor答案：A推理判断题。由所举例子“1010房间和1410房间都是双人间海景房，但是却不一样。”可知，客人很容易被误导。61What is special about Room 77?A.Guests can easily book rooms on it.B.It shows which hotel provides good service.C.It can tell whether the selected room is available.D.Guests can see the inside of the rooms in advance on it.答案：D细节理解题。由第二段的最后一句话可知。62According to the text, an iPhone app can help_.A.introduce nice hotels to youB.get to know a dishonest clerkC.select a suitable hotel room for youD.check which rooms have been booked答案：C细节理解题。由第四段最后一句话“.an especially handy tool when a dishonest front desk clerk claims no better rooms are available.”可知，iPhone可以帮你选择合适的房间。C(2012莆田质检)As we know, the earths climate has changed over time.The present rate of climate change depends, in large part, on human activities.Today, people all over the world are making everyday choices that help the environment.Small actions matter.In other words, climate change is your business.A woman in Nicaragua buys fluorescent (荧光的) light bulbs that are 80 percent more energysaving than traditional ones. Many governments are now subsidizing energysaving lights to encourage people to turn to them.Consumers are discovering that the newgeneration bulbs help them save money in the long run.Agriculture accounts for about 14 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions (排放) , and transporting the food around adds to the environmental cost.There is a team of young vegetable growers in the United Kingdom who want to encourage kids to start planting their own fruit and vegetables.A young lawyer wearing business clothes rides her bicycle to work in a large US.city.Shes been biking to work every day for the past two years and says its a lot easier than many people think.A recent study shows that more Americans bike or walk to work today than before.A university student from southeastern China carries a reusable shopping bag to cut back on disposable (一次性的) plastics.Some large shopkeepers have removed paper and plastic bags, and consumers are responding.In Canberra, Australia, summers are hot and winters cold.To save electricity, Adam Wilson in Canberra uses an energysaving heating system, and he keeps the temperature lower than he did in years past.He still makes it through the summer without air conditioning.文章大意：气候变暖和我们每个人都息息相关。从现在做起，从我们自己做起。63The passage mainly tells us that_.A.climate change is concerned with everyoneB.the global warming is getting worseC.saving energy is of great necessityD.human is to destroy the environment答案：A主旨大意题。由文章第一段最后一句话可知，环境变化与我们每个人都息息相关。64The underlined word “subsidizing” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_”A.charging B.producing C.giving allowance to D.taking advantage of答案：C猜测词义题。为鼓励人们使用节能灯，许多政府对人们使用节能灯给予补助。因此划线词是“给予补助”的意思。65According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A.The governments dont expect consumers to use the newgeneration bulbs.B.Agriculture should be responsible for part of the global gas emissions.C.Many people in Nicaragua go to work on foot or by bike.D.University students from China always carry disposable shopping bags.答案：B细节理解题。由第三段第一句话“Agriculture accounts for about 14 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions (排放) , and transporting the food around adds to the environmental cost.”可知，B项正确；由第二段最后一句话可知，顾客们发现使用节能灯从长远看是合算的，所以A项错误；由第二段第一句话可知，Nicaragua的人们使用节能灯，没有提到步行或者骑自行车，所以C项错误；由倒数第二段第一句话可知，D选错误，只是提到一位大学生使用环保袋。66We can learn from the last paragraph that_.A.the climate in Canberra is mild all the year roundB.an energysaving heating system will come into useC.Adam Wilson has a good habit of saving energyD.Adam Wilson is skilled in inventing the energysaving equipment答案：C推理判断题。由最后一段可知，Adam Wilson有节能的好习惯。D(2012三明普高联考)Its true that quite a few most respected scientific authorities have confirmed that the world is becoming hotter and hotter. Theres also strong evidence that humans are contributing to the warming. Countless recent reports have proved the same thing. For instance, a 2010 summary about the climate science by the Royal Society noted that: “The global warming over the last halfcentury has been caused mainly by human activity.”You may not believe that humans could change the planets climate, but the basic science is well understood. Each year, billions of tons of greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere because of human activity. As has been known for years, these gases hold heat that would otherwise escape to space, wrapping the planet in an invisible(看不见的) blanket.Of course, the earths climate has always been changing due to “natural” factors such as volcanic eruption(熔化) or changes in solar, or cycles concerning the Earths going around the sun. According to the scientific research, however, the warming observed by now matches the pattern of warming we would expect from a buildup of greenhouse gas in the atmospherenot the warming we would expect from other possible causes.Even if scientists did discover another reasonable explanation for the warming recorded
