Its 11.5 feet long and weighs 8,000 pounds.It has humanlike arms and its wrists can work continuously like a drill. Jeffrey Harris, an employee from Oceaneering International Inc., which provided about 14 robots to work in the Gulf, said，“Its like a construction worker, but it is doing one of the most demanding jobs in the world.”语篇解读：神奇的水下机器人肩负墨西哥湾原油的堵漏重任。26According to the passage，undersea robots are being used to _.Atake photos along the seaside beachBdo experiments on deepsea pressureCcollect as much of the oil from the oil well as possibleDhelp stop the oil flowing into the Gulf of Mexico解析：细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，水下机器人的主要任务是阻止墨西哥湾的原油进一步泄漏。答案：D27What is the news in Paragraph 4 about?AThere was an explosion and 11 workers were killed.BA cap was used to collect oil.CA robot around the leaking site was missing.DOne robot bumped into a cap while working.解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中“They made the news this week when one

Mexico weighs 1,000 pounds.CUndersea robot s can do whatever they are asked to.DThe Deepwater Horizon is also an undersea robot.解析：推理判断题。根据文章第二段中Mark Salt所言可知，水下机器人在堵漏过程中起到很重要的作用。答案：A29Which of the

by a team of undersea robots.DThe “ROV”，a popular humanlike robot on sale.解析：主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了在墨西哥湾原油泄露事件后，人们使用深海机器 人阻止原油进一步扩散的事件，故C项最符合文意。答案：CBJames Camerons Avatar，the latest science fiction film has opened up new possibilities for research and imagination.Researchers and common people are trying to find out whether the computergenerated world could exist some where in the universe.James Cameron and his team took special care while drawing the main backgrounds，plot and characters for this film.A lot of thought went into planning the exact location，the biology，geography，climate and the life science in the film.A study of all these elements shows that a lot of the science presented in Avatar is actually possible.According to Ray Villard，the writer of A Look at the Science of “Avatar”，there are moons among the solar system that can provide the environment for existence of a diverse life form.However，their distance from the sun is quite long and therefore，for the time being，life might not exist on them.The vegetation and animal life of Avatar also roused interest among researchers.The plants could communicate among themselves as well as with the characters in the film.The credibility behind the idea has been thought about by some people in the scientific community.Jodie Halt，a researcher at the University of California，was the person responsible for the creation of the magical plants that people see in Avatar.According to Halt，the communication between plants was based on a scientific concept of “signal transduction”This theory tries to figure out whether some plants are able to exchange signals with other plants and humans as well.Since this concept of plant science is still under research and investigation，one might hear something about plant communication in the near future.Despite enthusiastic reviews that the makers of Avatar received for the scientific research beh ind the film，there are certain areas that are a bit difficult to believe，for example，the concept of floating mountains.However，on the whole，it can be said that the makers of Avatar have got most of their science right.语篇解读：本文主要分析了科幻电影阿凡达之虚拟世界所具有的科学合理性。31What does the passage mainly discuss?AWhat themes Avatar involves.BHow the idea of Avatar came into being.CWhy the film Avatar has become so popular.DWhether the science presented in Avatar is reasonable.解析：主旨大意题。从全文的主题句即第一段的末句中“.whether the computergenerated world could exist somewhere in the universe”并结合全文内容可知D项最符合文意。答案：D32According to the passage，the writer Ray Villard_.Ahas written a book to discuss the science in AvatarBis a wellknown expert on life formsCworks with Jodie Halt，a researcherDtook part in creating the film Avatar解析：细节理解题。A项照应第三段中提示性信息“.Ray Villard，the writer of A

long timeCcommunication could take place among plantsDhumans can send signals to plants at present解析：细节理解题。根据第四段末句“The credibility behind the idea has been thought about by some people in the scientific community”可知，部分科学家相信植物之间能够相互交流。答案：C34Which of the following statements is TRUE about “signal transduction”？AIt has become the hottest topic since the coming of Avatar.BIt involves communication between humans.CIt is still under research and investigation.DIt explains how animals communicate.解析：细节理解题。根据第五段中“.this concept of plant science is still under research and

bookDJodie Halts plant science解析：作者观点题。根据第六段中“there are certain areas that are a bit difficult to believe.”可知，电影中的“漂浮的山”这点是难以让人相信的。答案：BCIn the decade of the 1970s，the United Nations organized several important meetings on the human environment to study a very serious problem.We humans are destroying the world around us.We are using up all of our natural resources.We must learn to conserve (保护) them，or life will be very bad for our children and grandchildren.There are several major aspects to this problem.Population.Most problems of the environment come from population growth.In 1700 there were 625 million people in the world；in 1900 there were 1.6 billion；in 1950,2.5 billion ；and in 1980,4.6 billion.In the year 2200 there will be 6.3 billion.More people need more water，more food，more wood，and more petroleum.Distribution(分布)Scientists say there is enough water in the world for everyone，but some countries have a lot of water and some have only a little.Some areas get all their rain during one season.The rest of the year is dry.Petroleum.We are using up the worlds petroleum.We use it in our cars and to heat our buildings in winter.Farmers use petrochemical to make the soil rich.They use them to kill insects on those plants.These chemicals go into rivers and lakes and kill the fish there.Thousands of people also die from these chemicals every year.Chemicals also go into the air and pollute it.Winds carry this polluted air to other countries and other continents.Poverty.Poor farmers use the same land over and over.The land needs a rest so it will be better next year.However，the farmer must have food every year.Poor people cut down trees for firewood.In some areas when the trees are gone，the land becomes desert.However，people need wood to cook their food now.Poor people cannot save the environment for the future.We now have the information and the ability to solve these problems.However，this is not a problem for one country or one area of the world.It is a problem for all humans.The people and the na tion of the world must work together to conserve the worlds resources.No one controls the future，but we all help make it.36According to the passage，our world is being destroyed mainly because _.Apollution is getting
