四个选项中 选出最佳选项 并在 答题卡上将该项涂黑 A A By now most people have heard about the importance of replacing the use of fossil fuels 矿物燃料 One of the most common renewable energy sources that people can get for family use is solar energy If you re not sure what solar energy is all about here are a few of the basics to get you up to speed The many different technologies are designed to take energy from the sun and change it into energy to provide heating cooling electricity and more Technologies to convert 转变 this energy include things such as solar hot water solar electricity lighting systems and space heating systems One of the main reasons most people want to use solar energy is for the savings The use of these technologies can save money on monthly bills by powering your electricity through the sun s energy instead of buying energy from fossil fuels If you live in a sunny area and you do don t use all the energy a solar system produces you could even make a little money by selling the extra energy to those who need it Renewable energy will also give you a more stable price for your monthly bills For most people the cost of energy has gone up over the past few years and there are not many signs it will go down any time soon People who buy or lease 租用 a solar system can take control of their costs and not be at the mercy of 在 支配下 the continually rising prices The high cost of fixing solar equipment at home is the main reason why most people have not been able to use this type of renewable energy but there are ways to lower the expenses Solar leasing is good choice you can pay a monthly lease fee instead of buying the solar equipment So if you haven t fixed it take one now Some companies also offer money to help those people that can t afford to buy or lease the entire solar system The savings that you will see on your monthly bills makes going green good for your wallet as well as the environment 56 At present most people know it is important to A discover more and more fossil fuelsB save solar energy as much as possible C use other energy to replace fossil fuelsD use solar energy instead of using any fossil fuel 57 What does the underlined phrase up to speed in Paragraph 1 probably mean A To reach the fastest speed B To realized the planned goals C To help finish the new task D To learn about something new 58 What is one of the main reasons why people use solar energy A Making money B Saving money C Preventing power failure D Providing enough electricity 59 We can learn from the passage that A some poor people are helped to fix the solar system financially 5 B the cost of energy will go down sometime in the future C fixing a solar system is affordable for most people D the energy a solar system produces is too much to be used up B B Traffic jam and cities it seems go hand in hand Everyone complains about being stuck in traffic but like the weather no one seems to do anything about it In particular traffic engineers transportation planners and public officials responsible for transportation systems in large cities are frequently criticized for failing to solve traffic jam But is traffic jam a sign of failure Long queues at restaurants or theater box offices are seen as signs of success Should transportation systems be viewed any differently I think we should recognize that traffic jam is an unpreventable by product of successful cities and view the traffic problem in a different light Cities exist because they promote social interactions and economic transactions Traffic jam occurs where there are lots of people but limited spaces Culturally and economically successful cities have the worst traffic problems while decaying 衰退 cities don t have much traffic New York and Los Angeles are America s most crowded cities But if you want access to major brokerage houses 经纪行 you will find them easier to reach m crowded New York than in any other large cities And if your firm needs access to post production film editors or satellite guidance 卫星导航 engineers you will reach than more quickly through the crowded freeways of LA than through less crowded roads elsewhere Despite traffic jam a larger number and wider variety of social interactions and economic transactions can be made perfect in large crowded cities than elsewhere Seen in this light traffic jam is an unfortunate result of prosperity 繁荣 not a cause of economic decline 下降 and urban decay So while we can consider traffic jam as increasing costs on the areas of big cities the costs of inaccessibility 交通不便 in uncrowded places are almost certainly greater There is no doubt that traffic jam brings the terrible economic and environmental damage in places like Bangkok Jakarta and Lagos But mobility is far higher and traffic jam levels are far lower here in the US even in our most crowded cities That s why for now we don see people and capital streaming out of San Francisco and Chicago heading for cities like California and Illinois 60 We can conclude from the first paragraph that A traffic jam and weather are the two factors preventing the development of die big city B traffic jam seems to be very difficult to deal with C if traffic engineers try their best traffic jam can be solved D public officials are always criticized for misusing their power 61 According to the passage what s the author s opinion towards traffic jam A In cities traffic jam is unavoidable B Traffic jam is both a sign of failure and a sign of success C Traffic jam is the result of successful cities D For a successful city traffic jam is not unpreventable 62 According to this article which statement about New York and Los Angeles is true A The traffic jam in the two cities has been worsened B New York and Los Angeles are the least successful cities in the US C It is easier to reach major brokerage houses in the two cities than in other cities 6 D Despite the traffic jam in LA you ll find a satellite guidance engineer more quickly there 63 What can we learn from the last paragraph A Traffic jam has caused terrible bad effects in cities such as Bangkok and Lagos B The traffic jam in Son Francisco has resulted in the capital becoming empty C The traffic jam level in Jakarta is lower than that in the US D California is as crowded und successful as San Francisco C C When John Milton writer of Paradise Lost entered Cambridge University in 1625 he was already skilled in Latin after seven years of studying it as his second language at St Paul s School London Like all English boys who prepared for college in grammar schools he had learned not only to read Latin but also to speak and write it smoothly and correctly His pronunciation of Latin was English however and seemed to have sounded strange to his friends when he later visited Italy Schoolboys gained their skill in Latin in a bitter way They kept in mind the rules to make learning by heart easier They first made a word for word translation and then an idiomatic translation into English As they increased their skill they translated their English back into Latin without referring to the book and then compared their translation with the original The schoolmaster was always at hand to encourage them All schoolmasters believed Latin should be beaten in After several years of study the boys began to write compositions in imitation of the Latin writers they read And as they began to read Latin poems they began to write poems in Latin Because Milton was already a poet at ten his poems were much better than those painfully put together by the other boys During the seven years Milton spent at university he made regular use of his command of Latin He wrote some excellent Latin poems which he published among his works in 1645 64 What does the passage mainly tell about A How John Milton wrote Paradise Lost B How John Milton studied Latin C How John Milton became famous D How John Milton became a poet 65 Which of the following is true of John Milton s pronunciation of Latin A It has a strong Italian accent B It has an uncommon accent C It was natural and easy to understand D It was bad and difficult to understand 66 It can be inferred from the passage that A Milton s training in Latin was similar to that of the other boys B Milton hadn t learned any foreign language except Latin before going to college C Milton s Italian friends helped him with Latin when talking D Milton s classmates learned Latin harder but worse than Milton D D We walked in so quietly that the nurse at the desk didn t even lift her eyes from the book Mum pointed at a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down While I watched mouth open in surprise mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold She walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up mum nodded and said Very dirty floors Yes I m glad they ve finally decided to clean them the nurse answered She looked at mum and said But aren t you working late Mum just pushed harder each swipe of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall I watched until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to writing in the big book After a long time mum came back Her eyes were shining She quickly put the mop 7 back and took my hand As we turned to go out of the door mum bowed politely to the nurse and said Thank you Outside mum told me Dagmar is found No fever You saw her mum Of course I told her about the hospital rules and she will not expect us until tomorrow Dad will stop worrying as well It s a fine hospital But such floors A mop is no good You need a brush 67 When she took a mop from the small room what mum really wanted to do was A to clean the floorB to please the nurse C to see a patientD to surprise the story teller 68 When the nurse talked to mum she thought mum was a A nurseB visitorC patientD cleaner 69 After reading the story what can we infer about the hospital A It is a children s hospital B It has strict rules about visiting hours C The conditions there are not very good D The nurses and doctors there don t work hard 70 From the text we know that Dagmar is most likely A the story teller s sisterB mum s friend C the story teller s classmate D dad s boss 71 Which of the following words best describes Mum A strangeB warm heartedC cleverD hard working E E Say you meet with difficulty what s the first thing you do Call your best friend and ask for help It turns out that doing this may be better for you than you think Researchers find that friendship has a big influence on your health well being and business One study from scientists recently found that older people with a large circle of friends were 22 less likely to die during a 10 year period than those with fewer friends Other researchers discovered that having a strong social network could improve brain health as we age Even more interesting feeling close to your friends may give you a different view on things Researchers gathered 34 college students out side and asked them to estimate the steepness 估陡峭程度 of a hill after climbing it Those standing with friends gave lower estimates and the longer the friends had known each other the less steep the hill appeared What is the reason that friends can make obstacl
