选出最佳选项 A Telephone television radio telegraph and the Internet all help people communicate with each other As a result ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world For example within seconds people can know the results of an election in another country An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a television set News of a disaster such as an earthquake or a flood can bring help from distant countries within hours Help is on the way Because of modern technology like the satellites that travel around the world information travels fast How has this speed of communication changed the world To many people the world has become smaller Of course this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller It means that the world seems smaller Two hundred years ago communication between the continents took a long time All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the ocean In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach America This time difference influenced people s actions For example one battle or fight in the War of 1812 between England and the United States could have been avoided A peace agreement had already been signed Peace was made in England but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America During these six weeks the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed They would not have died if news had come in time In the past communication took much more time than it does now There was a good reason why the world seemed so much larger than it does today 36 According to this passage is very important to people in a disaster area A transportation B modern technology C latest news D a new idea 37 From the passage we learn that A the world now seems smaller because of faster communication B the world is actually smaller today C the world is changing its size D the distance between England and America has changed since the War of 1812 38 Two hundred years ago news between the continents was carried A by telephone and telegraph B by land C by air D by sea 39 The Battle of

city streets using clean fuel made from a dirty source garbage The fuel is derived from rotting refuse that San Francisco and Oakland residents and businesses have been discarding in the Altamont landfill since 1980 Since November the methane gas created from the 240 acre landfill has been sucked into tubes and sent into an innovative facility that purifies and transforms it into liquefied 液态的 natural gas LNG Almost 500 Waste Management Inc garbage and recycling trucks run on this new source of environmentally friendly fuel instead of dirty diesel 柴油 We ve built the largest landfill to LNG plant in the world this plant produces 13 000 gallons of LNG a day says Jessica Jones a landfill manager for Houston based Waste Management It will take 30 000 tons of CO2 a year from the environment Altamont is one of two California landfills making LNG the other is a smaller facility about 40 miles south of Los Angeles Other natural gas facilities are being planned by Waste Management at some of the 270 active landfills nationwide and the number could grow quickly as communities seek to reduce greenhouse gas pollution Landfills have plenty of the ingredients to produce methane Bacteria break down the food scraps paper lawn trimmings and other organic waste dumped there Over time the material ferments 发酵 releasing methane and other gases About 50 percent of the gas emitted from landfills is methane It is 21 times more effective than CO2 at trapping heat in the atmosphere the EPA says Methane is the second most important greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide Tom Frankiewicz program manager for EPA s Landfill Methane Outreach Program in Washington says in an e mail Methane is also the main component of natural gas so by capturing and using methane as an energy source you will get an even bigger bang for the buck 40 What would be the best title for the passage A A new way to deal with garbage in California B The advantage of liquefied natural gas C The fuel of California garbage trucks coming from garbage D Environmentally friendly trucks in California 41 Which of the following is NOT a step to turn garbage into LNG A Mix the methane gas with other natural gases B Bacteria break down the garbage C The material ferments D Suck the methane gas into tubes and purify it 42 Methane is a kind of gas that A usually exists in landfills B can add to greenhouse effect C can t be turned into a useful energy source D is not as effective as CO2 at trapping heat in the atmosphere 43 The underlined part bang for the buck in the last paragraph probably means A problem B share C reward D victory C He became a great reader He read every book and newspaper he could get hold of and if he came across anything in his reading that he wished to remember he would c opy it on a shingle 木瓦 because writing paper was scarce and either learn it by hear t or hide the shingle away until he could get some paper to copy it on His father thoug ht he read too much It will spill him for work he said He doesn t do half enough about the work as it is now and books and papers aren t no good But Abraham with all his reading did more work than his father any day his stepmother took his sid e and at last got her husband to let the boy read and study at home Abe was a good s on to me she said many years after and we took particular care when he was readin g not to disturb him We would just let him read on and on till he quit of his own acco rd The boy kept a sort of shingle scrap book he kept a paper scrap book too Into the se he would put whatever he cared to keep poetry history funny sayings and fine pass ages He had a scrap book for his arithmetic sums too and one of these is still in ex istence God did know when and that boy all unconsciously was working toward the day when his hand and pen were to do more for humanity than any other hand or pen of mo dern times Lamps and candles were almost unknown in his home and Abraham flat on his sto mach would often do his reading writing and ciphering in the firelight as it flashed a nd flickered on the big hearth of his log cabin home An older cousin John Hanks who lived for a while with the Lincolns says that when Abe as he always called the great President would come home as a boy from his work he would go to the cupboard t ake a piece of corn bread for his supper sit down on a chair and read and read and read Abe and I said John Hanks worked barefoot grubbed it ploughed it mowed and cradled it ploughed corn gathered corn and shucked corn and Abe read constant ly whenever he could get a chance One day Abraham found that a man for whom he sometimes worked owned a copy of Weems s Life of Washington This was a famous book in its day Abraham borrowed i t at once When he was not reading it he put it away on a shelf There was a big crac k between the logs behind the shelf and one rainy day the Life of Washington fell into the crack and was soaked almost into pulp Old Mr Crawford from whom Abraham bor rowed the book was a cross cranky and sour old fellow and when the boy told him of the accident he said Abraham must work the book out The boy agreed and the old farmer kept him so strictly to his promise that he mad e him pull fodder for the cattle three days as payment for the book And that is the way that Abraham Lincoln bought his first book For he dried the copy of Weems s Life of Washington and put it in his library But what boy or girl of today would like to b uy books at such a price 44 As can be seen from the first paragraph A both Lincoln s father and stepmother were strongly against his being addicted to re ading B being devoted to reading made Lincoln did little work C Lincoln s father had received a good education D Lincoln s stepmother did much to help him read 45 The underlined part work the book out in Paragraph 5 means A understand the book thoroughly B pay for the book by means of working C find out the book D dry the book 46 The passage is mainly intended to A encourage the readers to learn from Lincoln the habit of reading despite difficult c onditions B tell the readers why Lincoln is admired as a great President C inform the readers the way Lincoln read D explain to the readers why Lincoln loved reading 47 From what John Hanks said we can conclude that A Lincoln had a bad habit of reading B Lincoln was fed up with physical labor C he admired Lincoln for what he did D he was not interested in reading D New tombs found in Giza support the view that the Great Pyramids were built by fr ee workers and not slaves as widely believed Egypt s chief archaeologist 考古学家 sai d on Sunday Films and media have long described slaves toiling away in the desert to build the e xtremely large pyramids only to meet a miserable death at the end

team said in a statement If they had been slaves they would not have been able to build their tombs beside their king s He said the collection of workers tombs some of which were found in the 1990s

number around 10 000 or about a tenth of Greek historian Herodotus s estima te of 100 000 These farmers were exempted 豁免 from paying taxes to the government of ancient Egypt evidence that he said

than a thousand tiny figures busy with their daily life and involved in weddings funerals and war games At the center of all the activities is the Rainbow Bridge lined with shops on both sides One Song Dynasty historian wrote the bridge has no piers 桥墩 but the gian t timber 桥梁 spanning the space was decorated with red paint and curved like a rain bow It is a style never attempted in the Western
