When water flows or falls, it creates water energy, and for this reason, industrial plants that create hydroelectric（水力发电）power are generally located on where there is an abundance of moving water，such as dams. While most dams are created to prevent flooding and supply dry land with water, there are some dams, such as the Grand Coulee in Washington, that are mainly used for water energy purposes.The water plants that the energy is created in are very effective and cost very little to run. These plants also produce very little heat therefore, sending very few harmful emissions（排放）into the environment. They are also much stronger than coal or nuclear plants，and the dams or reservoirs（水库）created to provide the energy also help the surrounding areas to develop agriculture and prevent flooding.However, many are concerned that water energy may not be as eco-friendly as one would think. This is because the moving of so much water affects the natural home of some animals. For instance, some fish in the Columbia River are forced to swim upstream to reproduce but there are many dams in the way of where they swim to do this.Today, technology appears to be advancing at similar rates to the growing concerns of influences on the environment. Because of this, as well as the fact that water energy is a renewable resource, the processes of water energy are expected to be improved in the years to come, to make this a more abundant, usable and eco-friendly form of energy that we can use every day.56.The Grand Coulee was built mainly to .A. prevent flood B. provide water C. produce power D. attract tourists57.What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?A. Advantages of water energy. B. Shortages of heat emission.C. Development of nuclear plants. D. process of water infection.58.“Fish in the Columbia River” mentioned in Para. 3 indicates that water energy .A. may destroy the animals food chainB. may force some fish to swim upstreamC. sometimes changes the course of riversD. sometimes has bad effects on the eco-system59. Whats the authors attitude towards the future of water energy?A. Cautious. B. Concerned. C. Doubtful. D. Optimistic.B（2015重庆一中高三一诊模拟）A study involving 8,500 teenagers from all social backgrounds found that most of them are ignorant when it comes to money. The findings, the first in a series of reports from NatWest that has started a five-year research project into teenagers and money, are particularly worrying as this generation of young people is likely to be burdened with greater debts than any before.University tuition fees (学费) are currently capped at 3,000 annually, but this will be reviewed next year and the Government is under enormous pressure to raise the ceiling.In the research, the teenagers were presented with die terms of four different loans but 76 per cent failed to identify the cheapest. The young people also predicted that they would be earning on average 31.000 by the age of 25, although the average salary for those aged 22 to 29 is just 17,815. The teenagers expected to be in debt when they finished university or training, although half said that they assumed the debts would be less than 10.000. Average debts for graduates are 12，363.Stephen Moir, head of community investment at the Royal Bank of Scotland Group which owns NatWest, said. The more exposed young people are to financial issues, and the younger they become aware of them, the more likely they are to become responsible, forward-planning adults who manage their finances confidently and effectively.Ministers are deeply concerned about the financial pressures on teenagers and young people because of student loans and rising housing costs. They have just introduced new lessons in how to manage debts. Nikki Fairweather, aged 15. from St Helens, said that she had benefited from lessons on personal finance, but admitted that she still had a lot to learn about money.60. Which of the following can be found from the five-year research project?A. Students understand personal finances differently. B. University tuition fees in England have been rising.C. Teenagers tend to overestimate their future earnings.D. The students payback ability has become a major issue.61. The underlined phrase to raise the ceiling in paragraph 2 probably means _.A. to raise the student loans B. to improve the school facilitiesC. to increase the upper limit of the tuition D. to lift the school building roofs62. According to Stephen Moir, students_.A. are too young to be exposed to financial issuesB. should learn to manage their finances wellC. should maintain a positive attitude when facing loans D. benefit a lot from lessons on personal finance63. What can we learn from the passage?A. Many British teenagers do not know money matters wellB. Teenagers in Britain are heavily burdened with debts.C. Financial planning is a required course at college. D. Young people should become responsible adults.C（2015河南省商丘市高三第一次模拟）As more people use smart phones to pay bills and store personal information, strict password security has become more important than ever. A new study shows that free - form gestures sweeping fingers in shapes across the screen of a smart phonecan be used to unlock phones. These gestures are less likely to be observed and reproduced by others than traditional typed passwords.“All that it takes to steal a password is a quick eye,” said one of the researchers of the study. “With all the personal information we have on our phones today, improving their security is becoming increasingly necessary.” In developing a secure solution to this problem, the researchers studied the practicality of using free - form gestures. With the ability to create any shape in any size and location on the screen, the gestures were popular as passwords. Since users create them without following a template, the researchers predicted these gestures would allow for greater complexity.The researchers carried out a create - test - retest experiment where 63 people were asked to create a gesture, recall it, and recall it again 10 days later. The gestures were captured on a recognizer system designed by the team. Using this data, they tested the complexity and accuracy of each gesture using information theory. The result of their analysis is that people are favorable to use free - form gestures as passwords.To put their analysis into practice, the researchers then had seven students in computer science and engineering, each with considerable experience with touchscreens（触摸屏）, attempt to steal a free - form gesture password by observing a phone user secretly. None of them were able to copy the gestures with enough accuracy. The gestures appear to be extremely powerful against attacks.Though the testing is in its early stage and widespread adaptation of this technology is not yet clear, the research team plans to continue to analyze the security and management of free form passwords in the future. They believe this is the first study to explore free - form gestures as passwords. They will soon publish their findings.64. What can we learn about free - form gestures? A. They are improving mobile security in a way. B. Users will have to make use of simple gestures. C. They will never be copied by others. D. Users must move their fingers in fixed shapes.65. The experiment in paragraph 4 is to test _ of free - form gestures. A. template B. application C. accuracy D. security66. According to the text, the researchers think that _. A. it is easy to steal any password with a quick eye B. better ways of setting passwords should be developed C. people had better not use smart phones to pay bills D. personal information should not be stored in a phone67. The main purpose of the text is to _. A. advise people to use free - form gestures B. discuss whether smart phones are safe C. talk about the practicality of passwords D. introduce the study of a new passwordD（2015江苏省南通市第一次调研测试）Dive with Big SharksOur shark dive adventures make use of hookah systems and shark cages.
