Miss Yamada, whose plane could cover 800 kilometers an hour, flew around the world in less than fifty hours. The newest planes could go 600 miles (one mile equals 1.609 kilometers) an hour, and we are now developing planes that are even faster.But it used to take a lot longer to go around the world. Magellans men were the first to make the trip. It took them more than two years to do so by ship.Magellan was from Portugal, but he sailed for the king of Spain. On September 20,1519, he left Spain with five ships and 240 men. After passing the south tip of South America, they reached the Pacific Ocean, on which they sailed more than one year. Very often they could not see a piece of land for months and they suffered greatly from the lack of food and fresh water. Many of them died of hunger and diseases. They even had to live on sawdust (锯末). Finally in April 1521, Magellan got to the Philippine Islands, where he was killed. His men fled and continued their voyage across the Indian Ocean. It was with the greatest difficulty that they passed the Cape of Good Hope. By the time they returned to Spain on December 21,1521, seven out of every eight men had died. Magellans voyage proved that men could sail around the world and that our earth is but a huge ball.1Miss Yamada could fly around the world in less than fifty hours because _.Aour world was getting smaller and smallerBher plane was the fastest at the time this passage was writtenCthey had developed planes that could go more than 600 miles an hourDher plane was very fast解析：选D。由“whose plane could cover 800 kilometers an hour”可知，Yamada的飞机因为飞得很快，所以能在短时间内环游世界一圈。2According to the passage, the newest plane at that time could go around the world in about _.Afifty hours Bthirtyfive hoursCfortyone hours Dthirtyeight hours解析：选C。由第一段提到的两组数据可计算出最新的飞机环绕地球一圈所需的时间(设为X小时)，算式如下：800506001.609X，解得X约为41小时。3Which of the following shows correctly the route by which Magellans men sailed around the world?解析：选D。麦哲伦船队航行的大致航线为：西班牙南美洲南端太平洋菲律宾群岛印度洋非洲好望角西班牙。D项所标航线符合事实。4Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?AMagellans VoyageBGoing Around the WorldCSailing Around the WorldDThe World Is Round解析：选A。第二段一开头提到“But it used to take a lot longer to go around the world.”，接着讲述了麦哲伦环球航行的路线及在航程中所经历的磨难。BAs Hong Kong struggles to build an environmentally friendly city, one professor is studying ways to help cut carbon emissions and lower electricity usage by covering the citys rooftops with plants.Jim Chi Yung, a geography professor at the University of Hong Kong, set up his first green roof in 2006 on top of one of the buildings at the university. He wanted to research how plants and grass covering a roof affect heating and cooling.The roof was divided into four parcels:_one is bare concrete, and three others are covered with different plants. The first is grass, the second, a perennial (多年生植物) that produces yellow flowers and the third, a shrub (灌木丛). “So far I have been able to figure out quite a significant difference between the three vegetation type in terms of ecological and environmental benefits.” Jim said.Using infrared sensors (红外探测器) between the plant layer and the roof, Jim found that the planted areas lowered the roofs surface temperature by as much as 26 degrees Celsius. Bare roofs can reach temperatures as high as 50 degrees on a hot summer day because of all the solar radiation they take in, while planted surfaces stay closer to air temperature. In the winter, Jim found, the planted area helps the roof below stay warmer.For building owners this means the top floors of a building remain cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, so less money is spent on heating and cooling. But people fear that loading roofs with plants will lead to leaks, cracks, mosquitoes and other pests. They also fear the construction cost and maintenance fees.5Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?ASome experts are studying ways to beautify buildings in Hong Kong.BThe ground floors of a building remain cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.CProfessor Jim Chi Yung has made little progress in his study.DThere is still a long way to put the new study into practice.解析：选D。细节理解题。通读全文可知虽然Jim Chi Yung教授取得了一定的研究成果，但还未解决最后一段提到的居民的各种忧虑，所以要把他的研究付诸实践还需要做出进一步的努力，故D项正确。A项本身表述错误，专家研究的目的根本不在于美化建筑物；根据第五段第一句可知，绿化楼顶后楼房最顶层而非一楼冬暖夏凉，B项错误；根据第三段最后一句及第四段可知Jim Chi Yung教授取得了一定的研究成果，故C项错误。6The underlined word “parcels” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_”Atypes BpurposesCpatches Dseparations解析：选C。词义猜测题。根据上下文可知教授把楼顶分成四小块，一块不种植任何植物，另外三块分别用来种植不同的植物。所以选择C项。7What is the surface temperature of planted areas on a hot summer day a
