Some scientists think that waves could help make electricity.“Have you ever been on a surfboard or boat and felt yourself being lifted up by a wave?” asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group in Scotland. “There is certainly a lot of energy in waves.”Scientists are working on using that energy to make electricity. The United States and a few other countries have started doing research on wave energy, and it is already being used in Scotland.Most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean. “The winds start out by making little ripples (波纹) in the water, but if they keep on blowing, those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves,” Taylor said. “Waves are one of natures ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey.”When waves come towards the coast, people can set up dams(大坝) to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine(涡轮). The turbine can then power an electrical generator(发电机).We will never run out of wave power. Besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as oil and coal do.Oceans cover three quarters of the earths surface. That would make wave power seem perfect for creating energy around the world. But there are some disadvantages that need us to pay more attention to.Jamie Taylor said that wave power still cost too much money. He said that its influence on animals in the sea is still unknown. Besides, wave power would get in the way of fishing and boat traffic. With more research, “Many of these problems might be solved,” Taylor said. “Finding more energy sources(资源) is very important, for traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may run out some day.”In the future, when you turn on a light button, an ocean wave could be providing the electricity! 53 . We can learn from the passage that_.Aalmost every country is making use of the wave power at presentBit is necessary for us to develop wave power instead of oil and coalCwave power will be sure to make some bad influence on sea animalsDscientists are making efforts to find new ways of fishing and boat traffic54 . What does the fourth paragraph tell us?AWhy scientists are doing the research on wave power.BWhat experience that scientists have achieved so far.CHow the wave energy forms and grows bigger.DWhich countries are trying out wave power.55 . Whats the writers attitude towards wave power?AThe writer believes that wave power will be used widely by man.BThe writer doubts if wave energy can be changed into electricity.CThe writer is sure the experiments will come to the end some day.DThe writer thinks that wave power isnt worth researching at all.56 . What can be the best title for the passage?ASea Animals and Wave Power.BHow Do We Get Wave Energy?CThe Advantages of Wave Power.DCan Waves Make Electricity?One day, while I was waiting for my father, I saw a little boy, around two years old, running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set free from some sort of prison(监狱）. The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.At that moment，I thought to myself, “Why arent most adults this way?” Most adults， when they fall down, make a big deal out of it and dont even make a second attempt(尝试). They would be so embarrassed that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or, because they fall, they would find a good excuse for themselves that theyre not fit for it. They would end up being too afraid to attempt again for fear of failure .However，with kids，when they fall down，they dont consider their falling down as a failure, instead, they treat it as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed. The answer must be that they have not connected “falling down” with the word “failure”. Whats more，they probably think to themselves that its quite okay to fall down and that its not wrong to do so. In other words，they allow themselves to make mistakes，so they remain energetic.57 . What did the little boy do when he fell down?AHe cried and lay on the grass.BHe asked his mother for help.CHe got up and went on running. DHe got up and stood there crying.58 . In the writers opinion，what might the little boy consider his falling down as?AA failure.BA joke.CAn interesting game.DA learning experience.59 . In the writers opinion, why cant many adults succeed?ABecause they are afraid of being embarrassed.BBecause they cant find a good excuse.CBecause once they fail, they wont attempt again.DBecause they dont allow themselves to make mistakes.60 . The underlined word “energetic” in Paragraph 3 means .A精力充沛的B高兴的C沮丧的D愉快的61 . What does the writer want to tell us?APractice makes perfect.BFailure is the mother of success.CAll roads lead to Rome.DEach coin has two sides.Most people cannot choose their jobs. They only have their jobs forced upon (被迫) them. This may be because they havent enough training for any other job, or because of economic situation, or because they live in a place where there is a limited choice of jobs, or because their fathers and grandfathers have always followed a certain occupation. The Indian born of farmer parents in a village has, for example, few opportunities of becoming anything but a farmer.But if one is lucky enough to be able to choose the job one is going to do, how should one make ones choice? Ones choice clearly depends on what one wants to get out of ones job.Some people believe that nobody can do a job well if they do not enjoy it. But this is probably true only of certain types of work. And there are those who have an ability for turning their job into something that is an enjoyable way of earning their living (挣钱生计), but who do not really do their work well. Some doctors, for example, who become rich and famous men are in fact not owning humanity (人性) which is necessary in their job, and may even not be especially skilled at their job. So are some lawyers. Perhaps many of the best doctors, lawyers, and teachers spend their lives working so hard for others that do not have time to become rich and famous. One must decide, when choosing a job, whether one wants to do a job for its own sake (为工作本身) or for the rewards (报酬) it offers.62 . “They only have their jobs forced upon them” may means _.Athey make themselves do the jobsBthey have to do the jobs availableCthey must follow what their fathers used to doDtheir jobs are chosen by others63 . The underlined word “opportunities” in the first paragraph probably means “_.”AhobbiesBformsCeffortsDchances64 . According to the passage, a persons choice of job should be decided by _.Ahis economic situationBhis family backgroundChis purpose in taking a jobDhis ability to do a job65 . The writer seems to have a good impression on those doctors who are _.Arich.Bfamous.Cskillful.Dhardworking.66 . How many occupations are mentioned in the last paragraph?AOneBTwoCThreeDFour67 . We may infer (推断) from the passage that _.Alawyers are those people who work very hard for othersBhumanity is necessary in the making of a good doctorCa successful person is one who can make his living in an enjoyable wayDteachers must be rich and famous if they work hard.八、根据首字母、中文提示填空词汇检测根据下列句子及所给汉语注释或通过上下文，在答题卷上标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式每空只写一词68 .

Chinas educational and health authorities have banned (禁止) snack shops in all kindergartens, primary, middle and high schools across the country. The rule has taken effect since April 1.It requires that administrators (管理人员) should keep record of each meal and work out any food problems timely. Parents can also eat with students at school canteens and give suggestions to the school on food safety and nutrition.The rule raised heated discussion.Many students were sad about the ban. “Without snack shops, our campus life will be less interesting,” a student from a senior high school in Hangzhou, told Qianjiang Evening News. “We wont be able to have different kinds of drinks or desserts.”However, many parents showed support for the rule. The father of a junior school student in Beijing told the Global Times that “cheap, low-quality snacks sold at these stores are harmful to childrens health.” “Students rush to shops to buy snacks as soon as a class is over, which affects the normal teaching order,” he said.The rule also requires schools to monitor students who may be obese (肥胖的), and make sure they have a healthy diet.
