ten years ago, this thought came into the mind of arian de bondt, a dutch engineer. he finally persuaded his boss to follow it up. the result is that their building is now heated in winter and cooled in summer by a system that relies on the surface of the road outside. the heat-collector is a system of connected water pipes. most of them run from one side of the street to the other, just under the asphalt road. some, however, dive deep into the ground. when the street surface gets hot in summer, water pumped through the pipes picks up this heat and takes it underground through one of the diving pipes. at a depth of 100 metres lies a natural aquifer(蓄水层) into which several heat exchangers(交换器) have been built. the hot water from the street runs through these exchangers, warming the ground-water, before returning to the surface through another pipe. the aquifer is thus used as a heat store. in winter, the working system is changed slightly. water is pumped through the heat exchangers to pick up the heat stored during summer. this water goes into the building and is used to warm the place up. after performing that task, it is pumped under the asphalt and its remaining heat keeps the road free of snow and ice. 1. which of the following is true according to the first two paragraphs? a. arian de bondt got his idea from his boss. b. large, flat, black surfaces need to be built in cities. c. the dutch engineers system has been widely used. d. heat can also be collected from asphalt roads. 2. for what purpose are the diving pipes used? a. to absorb heat from the sun. b. to store heat for future use. c. to turn solar energy into heat energy. d. to carry heat down below the surface. 3. from the last paragraph we can learn that.a. some pipes have to be re-arranged in winterb. the system can do more than warming up the buildingc. the exchangers will pick up heat from the street surfaced. less heat may be collected in winter than in summer4. what is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows? a. what we shall do if the system goes wrong. b. what we shall do if there are no asphalt roads. c. how the system cools the building in summer. d. how the system collects heat in spring and autumn. 【参考答案】1-4 ddbc 阅读理解。diana jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart. “i have two kids in college, and i want to say come home, but at the same time i want to provide them with a good education,” says jacobs.the jacobs family did work out a solution: they asked and received more aid form the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program. they will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school. with unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the jacobs. more students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. college administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around. at the same time, tuition（学费）continues to rise. a report from the national center for public policy and higher education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade, “if we go on this way for another 25years, we wont have an affordable system of higher education,” says patrick m. callan, president of the center. “the middle class families have been financing it through debt. they will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.” financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. the good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.1. according to paragraph 1, why did the plan of jacobs family fail?a. the twins wasted too much money. b. the father was out of work.c. their saving ran out. d. the family fell apart.2. how did the jacobs manage to solve their problem?a. they asked their kids to come home.b. they borrowed $20,000 from the school.c. they encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs.d. they got help from the school and the federal government.3. financial aid administrators believe that _.a. more families will face the same problem as the jacobsesb. the government will receive more letters of complaintc. college tuition fees will double soond. americas unemployment will fall4.what can we learn about the middle class families from the text?a. they blamed the government for the tuition increase.b. their income remained steady in the last decade.c. they will try their best to send kids to college.d. their debts will be paid off within 25 years.5.according to the last paragraph, the government will .a. provide most students will scholarshipsb. dismiss some financial aid administratorsc. stop the companies from making student loansd. go on providing financial support for college students【文章大意】这是一篇关于学费贷款的文章。【参考答案】1-5、bdacd66.答案b。根据文章第一段的her husband lost his job可以得出，双胞胎儿子好上学交学费，丈夫事业，家庭陷入困境。停止，两者是对立关系。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。the hearst castlehearst castle is a palatial park on the central california coast and a national historic landmarkit was designed by architect julia morgan for william randolph hearst from 1919 until 1947in 1957 , the hearst corporation donated the fortune to the state of californiasince that time it has been maintained as a state historic park where the estate and its considerable collection of art and antiques are open for public toursdespite its location far from any urban center, the site attracts roughly one million visitors per yearguided toursthere are several tours which highlight various parts of the castle and gardenstour one is recommended for first time visitorit now includes the movie, hearst castle building the dreamtour two gives visitors a closer look at the main houses upper floors, mrhearsts private suite, the libraries, and the kitchentour three looks at the castles north wing, guest rooms and guest house casa del montetour four features the impressive gardens and grounds, the largest guesthouse, the wine basement, and the hidden terracethe evening tour is a special tour that allows visitors to experience the castle at night as one of the hearsts own visitors might haveticket priceshearst castle accepts visa, mastercard, american express and discoverfree day use parking is available for automobiles, motorcycles, tour buses and recreational vehiclestoursadultages 6 17experience tour$24$12tou
