南昌市2016高考英语二轮阅读理解选编（3） 时闻型阅读理解 mit researchers and their colleagues are working to find out whether energy from trees can power a network of sensors (传感器) to prevent spreading forest fires. what they learn could also raise the possibility of using trees as silent guards along the nations borders to discover potential threats such as smuggled (走私的) radioactive materials. the us forest service currently predicts and tracks fires with a variety of tools, including remote automated weather stations. but these stations are expensive and sparsely (稀疏地) distributed. additional sensors could save trees by providing better local climate data to be used in fire prediction models and earlier warnings. however, recharging or replacing batteries by hand at very hardtoreach locations makes it impractical and costly. the new sensor system seeks to avoid this problem by developing trees into a selfsustaining power supply. each sensor is equipped with a battery that can be slowly recharged using electricity produced by the tree. “a single tree doesnt generate a lot of power, but over time the trickle (细流) charge adds up, just like _”， said shuguang zhang, one of the researchers on the project and the associate director of the mits centre for biomedical engineering (cbe)the system produces enough electricity to allow the temperature and humidity sensors to wirelessly send out signals four times a day, or immediately if theres a fire. each signal spreads from one sensor to another, until it reaches an existing weather station that sends the data by satellite to a forestry command centre in boise, idaho. scientists have long known that trees can produce extremely small amounts of electricity. but no one knew exactly how the energy was produced or how to take advantage of the power.1what are the disadvantages of the remote automated weather stations?athey cost too much.bthey are of poor quality.cthey are not enough.dthey cant reach remote places.aa, b bb, d ca, c

本文是一篇新闻报道，介绍了科学家们的发现：树能为预防森林火灾的传感器供电。1c细节解释题。文章第三段提到的美国森林服务机构现在所采用的工具和方法花费高、分布少。如增加传感器，边远地区将无法充电或换电池，故选c项。2c推理判断题。根据上下文可知此处为“积少成多”的含义。故选c。a“远水救不了近火”；b“海纳百川”；d“不雨则已，一雨倾盆”。3d细节理解题。第四段中研究人员指出，一棵树产生不了多少能量，但随着时间的推移，细小的能量会不断增加，就像不断滴水的水龙头也能滴满一桶一样，故d项正确。4b文章结构题。文章最后一段最后一句提到没人确切地知道树是怎么产生能量的或人们如何利用这些能量，因而，下文会就此展开论述，故选b项。5a主旨大意题。文章第一段就点明主题：如何利用树所产生的能量预防森林火灾，a项概括了文章的主旨。
