江西省瑞金市2014高考英语阅读理解和完形填空训练（11）（含答案） most rain forests lie close to the equator (赤道), where the climate is often mild and there are long hours of sunshine. the warmth of the land heats the air above, causing it to rise and tiny drops of water to fall as rain. the rainfall can reach at least 98 inches a year. this wet, warm world with plenty of sunlight is perfect for plants to grow, so the trees grow fast with green leaves all the year round. the trees themselves also have an effect on the climate. they gather water from the soil and pass it out into the air through their leaves. the wet air then forms clouds, which hang over the treetops like smoke. these clouds protect the forest from the daytime heat and nighttime cold of nearby deserts, keeping temperatures fit for plant growth.rain forests slightly farther away from the equator remain just as warm, but they have a dry season of three months or more when little rain falls. tree leaves fall during this dry season and new leaves grow when the wet season or monsoon (雨季) begins. thus these areas are known as the “monsoon forest”another type of rain forest grows on tropical mountains. it is often called the “cloud forest”because clouds often hang over the trees like fog.the rain forest is the ideal place for the growth of many different trees. most of them depend on animals to eat their fruits and spread their seeds. when the fruits are eaten, the seeds inside them go undamaged through animals stomachs and are passed out in their droppings. the seeds lying on the forest floor then grow into new trees.1the climate of the rain forests near the equator is _.a. mild, wet and windyb. hot, rainy and foggyc. hot, wet and cloudyd. warm, wet and sunny2we can learn from the passage that _.a. tree leaves are green all the time in the monsoon forestb. there is a dry season in the cloud forest on tropical mountainsc. clouds help the plants in the rain forest near the deserts to growd. the formation of climate in the rain forest has little to do with the trees3according to the passage, _ play the most important role in spreading of seeds.a. animals b. droppingsc. fruits d. winds4this passage is most likely to be found in _.a. a travel guide b. a story bookc. a technical report d. a geography book1d。这是一道推断题。根据第一段第四句“this wet, warm world with plenty of sunlight is perfect for plants to grow”可知赤道附近热带雨林的气候是温暖、潮湿、光照强烈的。2c。这是一道推断题。根据第一段最后一句“these clouds protect the forest from the daytime heat and nighttime cold of nearby deserts, keeping temperatures fit for plant

largest warming effect while shipping has a cooling effect on the earth s climatethe study concludes that since pre-industrial times, 15% of co2 emissions （排放量） made by humans have come from the transport sectorthe study implies that more attention needs to be paid to the fast growing road sectorlooking only at co2 emissions, road traffic alone has led to two-thirds of the warming caused by total transport emissionsthe reason why road transport tops the list is mainly due to the large number of vehicles on the roads and the smaller cooling effect from their emissionsthe researchers said that the road emissions of today will make up three quarters of the warming caused by transport over the next hundred yearsfollowing road transport, aviation is the second largest transport contributor to global warming. however, the historical contribution from aviation emissions to global warming is more than doubled the contribution from road emissionsin fact, over the next 100 years, today s road emissions will have a climate effect that is four times higher than the climate effect from today s aviation emissionsfor shipping, the picture is more complicateduntil now, shipping has had a cooling effect on climatethis is because shipping produces a large amount of so2, which has a cooling effecthowever, although the gas, until now, has given the shipping industry a cooling effect, this effect will disappear after a while, as the gas doesnt last long in the atmospherethe long-lived co2, will dominate （占优势）, giving shipping a warming effect in the long runin general, the transport sector s contribution to global warming will be continuously high in the future45what can we learn about road traffic?ait has the second largest warming effect on climatebit produces 15% of

been widely supposed that the kind of mental ability that allows us to solve new problems without having any relevant (相关的) former experience what psychologists (心理学家) call fluid intelligence is innate and cannot be taught (though people can raise their grades on tests of it by practicing).but in the new study, researchers describe a method for improving this skill，along with experiments to prove it works. the key, researchers found, was carefully structured training in working memory the kind that allows memorization of a telephone number just long enough to dial it. this type of memory is closely related to fluid intelligence, so the researchers reasoned that improving it might lead to improvements in fluid intelligence. first they measured fluid intelligence of volunteers using standard tests. then they trained each in a complicated memory task the childs card game, in which they had to recall a card they saw and heard. during the course, they needed to ignore irrelevant items, monitor ongoing performance, manage two tasks at the same time and connect related items to one another in space and time.the four groups experienced a half-hour of training daily for 8, 12, 17 and 19 days, separately. to make sure they were not just improving their test-taking skills, the researchers compared them with control groups that took the tests without the training.the results, published monday in the proceedings of the national academy of sciences，were striking. improvement in the trained groups was a lot greater. moreover，the longer they trained, the higher their scores were. all performers, from the weakest to the strongest，showed great improvement.“our results show you can increase your intelligence with proper training.” said dr jaeggi, a co-author of the paper. “no one knows how long the gains will last after training stops,” he added, “and the experiments design did not allow the researchers to determine whether more training would continue to produce further gains.”53. the researchers thought the key to improving the intelligence was _.a. memorizing telephone numbersb. improving working memoryc. training in attentiond. recalling a card54. which of the following training ways help increase intelligence?a. ignoring irrelevant itemsc. making connectionsb. monitoring ongoing performanced. working in groupsa. a, b, d. b. b, c, d. c. a, c, d.d. a, b, c.55. when the experiment was conducted, the researchers _.a. trained the four groups for the same period of time b. trained the four groups at different time of the dayc. compared the four groups with control groupsd. trained the four groups together 56. by writing the article, the writer wants to _.a. inform the readers of a new study b. call on people to be trained to increase intelligencec. tell people the improved intelligence will last foreverd. say the more one is trained, the more ones born intelligence improves5(2012湖南南雅中学模拟，c篇)when top engineers in germany wanted to build a more energyefficient car，they headed to the natural history museum to study dolphins and sharks.but it was the boxfish (盒子鱼)that interested them.“we were surprised when this clumsylooking fish became our model for designing an aerodynamic (空气动力学的)car”，says thomas weber.he is the research and development chief for the car company daimler.an aerodynamic design reduces wind drag and increases fuel efficiency.the boxfish may look clumsy，but it can start，stop，back up and zigzag (曲折前进)through the water with ease.and it does all this using surprisingly little energy.daimlers bionic (仿生学的)car is modeled on the fishs boxy skeletal(骨骼的)system.like the fish，the car is fast and drives easily.its efficient too.the science behind natureinspired inventions is called biomimicry (生物仿生)biologist janine benyus came up with the term.as cofounder of the biomimicry guild，she has worked with cereal companies，sneaker designers and others to develop products based on natures best ideas.this month，the natures 100 best list will be revealed at the world conservation congress (代表大会)in barcelona，spain.benyus coauthored the list of natureinspired designs with economist gunter pauli.in zimbabwe，a country in southern africa，engineers designed energyefficient buildings modeled on termite (白蚁)mounds (土堆)the buildings use vents (孔) to keep the air flowing and the temperature cool.a company in atlanta，us，developed a selfcleaning paint modeled on the lotus (荷花)leaf.when the paint dries，it becomes bumpy (不平的)，just like the lotus leaf.rain drops form on the bumps and roll off，carrying dirt along with them.nature has done billions of years of research.only the bestdesigned products have survived.companies owe mother nature a debt for all that hard work，says benyus.for scientists and inventors，the possibilities for copying nature are limitless.technology may never be as efficient as nature，or as colorful.but that doesnt mean we should stop trying to learn from the world around us.take a walk outside.watch a squirrel climb up a tree.look closely at the veins(纹理)of a leaf.hear the birds chirping in the trees.such small details may help solve big problems in the future.1which is true according to the passage?ain america a selfcleaning paint was modeled on the lotus flower.bzimbabwe engineers learned from termites to create highly advanced heating systems.cafter the boxfish，many other ideas of new products are borrowed from nature.dnature is a good source to turn to for improving technology.2the clumsylooking boxfish interested the scientists because of the following reasons except that _.ait swims using little energy bbeing boxy，it looks quite like a carcsome engineers had researched on how to swim ea
