卡上将该项涂黑 A Electrical devices 仪器 could soon use power made by human energy Scientists say they have developed an experimental device that produces electricity from the physical movement of a person walking British scientist Max Donelan and other scientists in Canada and the United States developed the device The device connects to a person s knee As the person walks the device captures energy each time the person slows down To do this the device helps with the slowing down movement of the leg The movements of the walking person push parts of a small machine that produces electricity Using the device an adult walking quickly could produce thirteen watts of electricity in just a minute Donelan says walking at that speed could produce enough power to operate a laptop computer for six minutes There are several possible uses for the device Developers say it could help people who work in areas without electricity to operate small computers The device could also be used in hospitals to operate heart pacemakers 起搏器 It could even be used to assist in the movement of robotic arms and legs The experimental version of the device weighs about one and a half kilograms but it is too costly for most people to buy But the researchers hope to make a lighter less costly version An improved version should be ready in one year The developers hope the device will one day help developing countries Nearly twenty five percent of people around the world live without electric power A similar product was invented in 2005 by Larry Rome of the University of Pennsylvania He created a bag carried on a person s back that also produces power from walking The knee device does not produce as much electricity as the bag But the bag requires the walker to carry a load of twenty to thirty kilograms 26 The second paragraph mainly talks about A who developed the device B how the device works C several possible uses for the devices D how much electricity the device can produce 27 What is the disadvantage of the experimental version of the device A It is too heavy for the walker to bear B It is too complex for people to use C It will slow down one s walking speed D It is too dear for most people to afford 28 Compared with the device designed by Larry Rome this new device A produces power without adding more loads to the walker B can produce more power in a much shorter time C needs to be equipped with a battery 来源 高考资源网 KS5U COM D can help the walker walk faster 29 From the passage we can learn that the electrical device can A help housewives operate the micro wave oven B

energy will become a main source of electricity B Yi So yeon an engineer from Seoul returned to Earth on Saturday after 11 days aboard the International Space Station ISS along with Russian cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko and US astronaut Peggy Whitson A technical problem turned a routine 常规 return to Earth into a sharper than usual descent 下降 that tested the group members stamina and courage They landed in the Kazakh steppes 大草原 about 420km 260 miles wide of their target During the descent there was some kind of fire outside the Soyuz capsule because we were going through the atmosphere Yi said At first I was afraid but the two other guys looked okay so I tried to look okay too Yi smiled and joked her way through a 10 minute news briefing at Star City the wooded Sovietera cosmonaut training centre on the edge of Moscow However Malenchenko and Whitson looked tired and thin after nearly six months in space Their answers were short and Whitson needed support to balance when she walked The 29 year old Yi has become famous in South Korea since the take off but she brushed this aside and said she has had little contact with friends or family since returning In fact they are the heroes right now Yi said referring to Malenchenko and Whitson I m just a beginner and a little ashamed to say that I am a hero She did though relate a more light hearted incident on the ISS I sang Fly Me to the Moon Yi said about the 1950s pop song It s my favorite song from university although at that time I didn t know I would be an astronaut The capsule s so called ballistic re entering made the group members face twice the usual pull from the centre of the earth The flames Yi described may have been caused by friction 摩擦 heating the capsule as it fell through the atmosphere Whitson told reporters that Saturday s ballistic landing was irregular but not an emergency The Soyuz has been through its history very reliable and there has obviously been some issue in the last couple of descents which went ballistic but I m sure the engineers will determine what the problems are and get them fixed she said In October a Soyuz capsule carrying Malaysia s first space tourist touched down about 200 km 125 miles off course in a similar ballistic landing caused by a technical problem The Soyuz is the world s longest serving manned space capsule An early version of the craft the

published K D The simple language was intended for child readers D To err is human To blame the other guy is even more human Common sense is not all that common Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse These three popular misquotes 戏谑的引语 are meant to be jokes and yet they tell us a lot about human nature To err or to make mistakes is indeed a part of being human but it seems that most people don t want to accept the responsibility for the problem Perhaps it is the natural thing to do The original quote about human nature went like this To err is human to forgive divine 神圣的 This saying mirrors an ideal people should be forgiving of others mistakes Instead we tend to do the opposite find someone else to pass the blame on to However taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a mark of great maturity Common sense is what we call clear thought Having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well and it also means staying with the plan Commonsense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine Common sense does not seem to be common for large organizations because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything People say that in a large company The right hand does not know what the left hand is doing And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art One of the common problems with making excuses is that people especially young people get the idea that it s okay not to be totally honest all the time There is a corollary 直接推论 to that if a good excuse is good even if it isn t honest then where is the place of the truth 41 According to

of the following is NOT based on common sense A A man tries to take charge of everything in a large company B A student goes out with an umbrella in stormy weather C A company s next move follows a good plan D A lawyer acts on fine judgments 44 What is the author s opinion about a good excuse A Making a good excuse is sometimes a better policy B Inventing a good excuse needs creative ideas C A good excuse is as rewarding as honesty D Bitter truth is better than a good excuse 45 What would be the best title for his passage A A Mirror of Human Nature B To Blame or to Forgive C A Mark of Maturity D Truth or Excuse 第二节第二节 信息匹配信息匹配 共共 5 小题 每小题小题 每小题 2 分 满分分 满分 10 分分 阅读下列应用文及相关信息 并按照要求匹配信息 请在答题卡上将对应题 号的相应选项字母涂黑 若选择 若选择 E 请涂 请涂 AB 若选择若选择 F 请涂 请涂 CD Thomson 中学中学学生 Mike Joseph Anna Ian 和
