Many people die as a result of breathing smoke or from cooking over wood-powered or coal-powered stoves.One way to reduce the number of deaths is through cooking equipment powered by the sun. Crosby Menzies, a solar power expert in a South African company, described his latest solar cooker called the Sol-4. It is four square meters of mirrors, six to eight meters in length. It is quite a large cooker. The Sol-4 works by reflecting (反射) light from the sun off large mirrors. The mirrors direct (把对准) the light at a cooking pan. Then the light heats the pan with solar energy. Within two minutes, the pan is hot enough to cook sausages and onions. In just four minutes, water can be boiled. That is as fast as cooking with natural gas or electricity.The cooker is also much friendlier than other models because people do not have to stand in the sun to use it. And people can prepare meals without having to collect firewood or spend money on coal. Such individuals would be less likely to have breathing illnesses from harmful smoke.At present, the cooker only works when the sun is shining. But engineers are working on a way to make it work without sunlight.Each cooker costs about $ 2,000, which is a large amount of money for most Africans. To solve that problem, Crosby Menzies has created a non-governmental organization called Solar Cookers for Africa. It plans to raise money through donations to provide poor people with solar cooking equipment.（1）This passage is mainly about .A . solar cookersB . smoke pollutionC . solar power expertsD . breathing illnesses（2）The Sol-4 is mainly used to .A . shorten the time of cookingB . reduce the cost of making cookersC . raise money through donations to help African peopleD . reduce the number of deaths caused by harmful smoke（3）The underlined word “individuals” most probably means “ ”A . cookersB . mirrorsC . peopleD . experts（4）Which of the following about the Sol-4 is TRUE?A . It is six to eight square meters of mirrors.B . It can work in any weather condition now.C . It can also heat the pan by lighting firewood.D . It is more environment-friendly than other cookers.（5）From the passage, we can infer that .A . the Sol-4 will be designed in a smaller sizeB . more Africans can use the solar cookers in the futureC . the Sol-4 is the first product of the South African companyD . the African government will provide poor people with solar cookers20. （6分）根据短文内容完成下列各题English is an important international language，but that doesnt mean its easy to learnMany experts have tried to make English easier to learn,but they werent always successfulIn 1930，Professor CKOgden of Cambridge University invented Basic EnglishIt had only 850 words and Ogden said most people could learn it in just thirty hoursThe problem was that people who learned Basic English could write and say simple messages，but they couldnt understand the answers in“real”English!REZachrisson，a university professor in Sweden，decided that对英语学习者来说最大的问题是拼写 ， so he invented a language with the name of AnglicAnglic was similar English，but with much simpler spelling，father became “faadher and “new became “nue”Unluckily，Anglic never became popularIn the age of international communication through the Internet，a new form of English might appearA large number of worlds emails are in English and include examples of“Netlingo”like OIC(Oh，I see)and TTYL，(Talk to you later)In another fifty years，English might not be usedWe might all speak fluent Internetish !（1）将处画线句子翻译成汉语。_（2）判断正误Ogden said most people could learn Basic English in just thirteen hours（3）将处画线句子翻译成英语。_（4）在处填入合适的介词。_（5）根据短文内容回答问题。What might happen to English in another fifty years?_21. （6分）阅读下面材料，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。Turns out，youre not just what you eatyoure also where you eatResearchers found out that people had double the number of calories(卡路里)when standing in a messy kitchen compared to when they stood in an orderly oneThe researchers had 98 women spend to minutes in kitchens，under the guise of (以为幌子)asking them to wait for someoneHalf of the women stood in a messy kitchen，with piles of newspapers，dirty dishes and a ringing phoneThe other half of the women waited in a clean kitchenBoth kitchens had bowls of biscuits and carrotsEach woman in the messy kitchen ate twice as many cookies compared to those in the clean kitchenWhy did this happen?“Being in a messy environment and feeling out of control is bad for diets，Lenny Vartanian，one of the researchers，said“It seems to lead people to think，Everything else is out of control,so why shouldnt I be?The studys size was small，but the findings prove something we know all too well：Stress(压力)is bad for youStress often causes people to overeatBeyond weight gain，too much stress can also increase a persons heart rate，and lead to painful conditions like headachesWhile there are many ways to manage stressincluding listening to music and exercising，this study shows that there are easy and quick things you can do to find calmThe next time you dont want to tidy up the kitchen，r
