its not magic its magnets (磁). and its close to reality. in virginia usa the fall of 2002, a train with no wheels traveled on air and carried college students across their campus. in japan, a whisper-quiet railway engine hovered and raced at 350 miles per hour using magnets and electricity as the power. and in china, a magnet train line linked shanghai with nearby pudong airport. these trains use magnetic levitation (悬浮) technology, “maglev” for short. they use the same rules as the magnets you pick up at home or school: opposite poles of magnets attract each other, and like poles repel each other. how does it work? powerful magnets on the bottom of the train repel magnets on the track, which is actually just a magnet-filled guiding way. with a magnetic field of sufficient force, the train will go hovering on air, which seemed impossible to us in the past. when an electrical current is sent through the track, the train moves. turn the current backwards and the train slows down. maglev doesnt rely on the friction (摩擦力) of wheels on track, so it can climb a much steeper hill than a traditional train. and it can travel easily in snow and ice, something that could bring normal trains to a screaming stop. 17. this passage is about. a. maglevb. magnetsc. levitationd. electricity18. which of the following is a repelling action? a. b. c. d. 19. what can we learn from the text? a. a magnet-filled guiding way is formed inside a maglev train. b. instead of electricity, magnets are used as the power of a maglev. c. maglev trains can climb hills with the help of magnet wheels. d. electric currents decide the movements of a maglev train. 20. what is the difference between a maglev train and an ordinary train? a. a maglev train can climb mountains without power while an ordinary one cant. b. a maglev train can travel in college campus while an ordinary train is not allowed. c. traveling without a track, a maglev train is safer and smoother than an ordinary one. d. floating on a track, a maglev train is faster, quieter than an ordinary railway train. 【参考答案】17. abdd较难题目特训：介绍说明类阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的a、b、c、d四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。british men are encouraged to cry. there are certain things british men like to believe about themselves. the first is that one day they will again win the world cup. they also believe they do not cry. over the centuries, britons are believed to have a “stiff upper lip”. but is this true? yes, it is. a recent study arranged by kleenex on how the british express their emotions reveals that 95 percent of them still contain their emotions. moreover, while 72 percent think this is unhealthy, 19 percent cant remember the last time they “let it out”. as a result, kleenex is launching the “let it out” campaign that encourages britons to grab a tissue and have a good cry. these days, however, the male britons attitude toward crying is changing. though the majority still struggles to open up emotionally, a 2004 study by oxfords social issues research center found that 77 percent of british men considered crying in public increasingly acceptable. half of london males admitted crying in front of their mothers. scotsmen are the least emotional, although they are the most likely to cry at weddings. peter marsh, director of the center, said: “crying can now indicate sensitivity rather than weakness. like with david beckham, crying because youre dropping off your boy at nursery isnt seen as weak.”winston churchill was said to be a frequent crier, shedding tears at seeing a survivor in an air raid shelter (防空洞), and when he saw his wife after a long absence. psychologists say that while society has accepted that men can cry, there are limits. ronald bracey, a consulting psychologist, said: “if a man began to cry when he was having stitches (缝针)in hospital, he would be considered as a wimp(软弱的人). men still need to be seen as strong when it comes to physical pain.”1. what does the passage mainly deal with? a. impression of british men. b. british mens dream of the world cup. c. advice on how to control emotions. d. different attitudes british men have towards crying. 2. which of the following concerning the british men is not true according to the passage? a. they are supposed to easily control emotions over the centuries. b. they are confident that they will again get successful in the world cup. c. about 50% of british men admitted crying before their mothers. d. nowadays, the male britons attitude toward crying is changing. 3. the word “contain”in paragraph 4 means_.a. storeb. hold backc. included. stir up4. what does the author think of the british mens crying? a. they should cry if hurt. b. they should keep firm not to cry to show they are not wimps. c. they should be brave in face of physical pain and cry if necessary when facing other problems. d. they should “let it out”whatever problems they meet with.【参考答案】18.dcbc 【黑龙江省哈三中2014高考英语试题】di prefer lynne trusss phraseology: i am a grammar “sticker”. and, like truss author of eats, shoots & leaves i have a “zero tolerance” approach to grammar mistakes that make people look stupid.now, truss and i disagree on what it means to have “zero tolerance”. she thinks that people who mix up basic grammar “deserve to be struck by lightning, hacked (砍) up on the spot and buried in an unmarked grave”, while i just think they deserve to be passed over for a job even if they are otherwise qualified for the position.everyone who applies for a position at either of my companies, ifixit or dozuki, takes a compulsory grammar test. if job hopefuls cant distinguish between “to” and “too”, their applications go into the bin.of course, we write for a living. if is the worlds largest online repair manual (指南), and dozuki helps companies write their own technical documentation, like paperless work instructions and step-by-step user manuals. so, it makes sense that weve made a strong strike against grammar errors.but grammar is relevant for all companies. yes, language is constantly changing, but that doesnt make grammar unimportant. good grammar is credibility, especially on the internet. and, for better or worse, people judge you if you cant tell the difference between “their” “there” and “theyre”.good grammar makes good business sense and not just when it comes to hiring writers. writing isnt in the official job description of most people in our office. still, we give our grammar test to everybody, including our salespeople, our operations staff, and our programmers.grammar signifies more than just a persons ability to remember high school english. ive found that people who make fewer mistakes on a grammar test also make fewer mistakes when they are doing something completely unrelated to writing like stocking shelves or labeling parts. it is the same with programmers. applicants who dont think writing is important
