  • (2017春•汾阳市校级期中) Think about the different ways that people use the wind.You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat.Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources(来源),as well as one of the oldest.Evidence shows that windmills(风车)began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC.They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s,when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.
        For many centuries,people used windmills to grind(磨碎)wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground.When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s,people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity.This allowed them to have electric lights and radio.However,by the 1940s,when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States,windmills were rarely used.
        During the 1970s,people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity.People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever.Then,wind was rediscovered,though it means higher costs.Today,there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.

    (1)From the text we know that windmills
     

    A.were invented by European armies
    B.have a history of more than 3000 years
    C.used to supply power to radio in remote areas
    D.have rarely been used since electricity was discovered
    (2)What was a new use for wind power in the late 19th century?
     

    A.Sailing a boat.
    B.Producing electricity.
    C.Grinding wheat into flour.
    D.Pumping water from underground.
    (3)One of the reasons wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that
     

    A.wind power is cleaner
    B.it is one of the oldest power sources
    C.it was cheaper to create energy from wind
    D.the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needs
    (4)What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
     

    A.The advantage of wind power.
    B.The design of wind power plants.
    C.The worldwide movement to save energy.
    D.The global movement towards producing power from wind.

  • (2016春•梁园区校级期中) Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother.Expecting a whole day to relax,he was thinking whether to read the newsaper or watch his favorite TV talk show on his first day off in months."This will be like a walk in the park,"he'd told his wife."I'll look after the kids,and you can go visit your mom."
        Things started well,but just after eight o'clock,his three little"good kids"-Mike,Randy,and Alex-came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted"breakfast,daddy."When food had not appeared within thirty seconds,Randy began using his spoon on Alex's head as if it were a drum.Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat(节拍).Mike chanted"Where's my toast,where's my toast"in the background.Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.
        Life became worse after breakfast.Mike wore Randy's underwear on his head.Randy locked himself in the bathroom,whileAlex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants.Nobody could find clean socks,although they were before their very eyes.Someone named"Not Me"had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes.Brad knew the talk show had already started.
        By ten o'clock,things were out of control.Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter.Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his color pencils.Randy,thankfully,appeared to be reading quietly in the family room,but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands.Brad realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.
        At exactly 11:17,Brad called the daycare centre(日托所)."I suddenly have to go into work and my wife's away.Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes?"The answer was obviously"yes"because Brad was smiling.

    (1)When his wife left home,Brad expected to
     

    A.enjoy his first day off work
    B.watch TV talk show with his children

    D.Reading in a room.
    (3)Why did Brad ask the daycare centre for help?

  • (2016•崂山区校级模拟) The Israeli farmers who pioneered the revolutionary technology known as drip irrigation weren't trying to solve one of the world's most urgent problems.They were just trying to survive.They lived in the desert,and they didn't have enough water to grow their crops.
        In its simplest form,it was little more than a pipe with holes in it.But behind each hole was a hi-tech dripper that let out just the right amount of water.Snaked along a row of crops so that the holes were positioned directly above the roots,the pipe could direct each precious drop of water directly to the plants,getting a bigger harvest while using a very small amount of the water.
        Over time,the farmers improved upon the technology,perfecting the drippers that regulated the flow of water,and connecting the pipelines to computers that could determine exactly how much water each plant needed and when.
        If the global population kept growing,the rest of the world would increasingly resemble their little community in the desert.So they began selling their irrigation systems in other parts of the world,eventually expanding to more than 110 countries.Netafirm,the company says it's lifting people out of poverty and conserving water at a time when the importance of doing so has never been clearer.
        The mass adoption of drip irrigation won't save the world by itself.To avoid the coming catastrophe,nearly everybody will,in some way,have to do more with less,perhaps through accepting and using other new technologies.Otherwise,it's going to get ugly.

    (1)Why is drip irrigation called"the revolutionary technology"?
     

    A.It saves the world all by itself.
    B.It is controlled by computers.
    C.It makes irrigation more effective.
    D.It provides deserts with water.
    (2)What does"one of the world's most urgent problems"in Paragraph l refer to?
     

    A.lacking water.
    B.lacking labor.
    C.lacking food.
    D.lacking energy.
    (3)How does the drip irrigation help farmers with crops?
     

    A.By drilling holes on the pipes.
    B.By regulating water via drippers.
    C.By snaking pipes along the crops.
    D.By placing pipes just above roots.
    (4)Which of the following will be the best slogan for Netafirm to sell the irrigation systems?
     

    A.Less water;More harvest.
    B.New technology;New world.
    C.More grain;Less starvation.
    D.Water saving;World surviving.

  • (2014秋•唐山期末) Instagram is containing so many photos of food-now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks.
        I always thought people's taking pictures of their food was kind of silly,but at this new pop-up restaurant in the UK,I'd probably do it too.'The Picture House'is the world's first pay-by-photo restaurant-you order,click a photo of the food,share on Instagram and eat for free!
        The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant (巨人) Birds Eye,who came up with the idea to cash in on people's addiction with photographing food and sharing the pictures online.They conducted a survey and found out that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals.So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range.
        The pop-up diner was open in Soho,London for three days in May,and is now moving to other major UK cities.They serve two-course meals that customers don't have to pay for,if they photo and Instagram it.
        The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye's'Food for Life'campaign,a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food."Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments-from the everyday to the special,"said marketing director Margaret Jobling.
        The reaction to The Picture House has been great so far.And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way.Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses.Last year,in a cafe in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there,not by what they eat.

    A.a restaurant free of charge
    B.a campaign of"Food for Life"
    C.a new marketing project

  • Here is a true story about a famous man who worked in the White House and a criminal. They once faced the same thing: their mother gave them apples when they were young.
        The criminal said, "One day, my mother brought some apples and asked my brother and me, ‘Which do you want?' ‘The reddest and biggest one,' my little brother said. My mother stared at him and said to him angrily, ‘You should learn to give the good things to others; you shouldn't always think of yourself.' Seeing this, I suddenly changed my idea and then said to my mother, ‘Mum, please give me the smaller one and give the bigger one to my little brother.' Hearing my words, my mother was very happy. She kissed me on my face and gave the reddest and biggest apple to me as a prize. From then on, I learned to tell lies, fight, steal and rob. In order to get what I wanted, I played hard. As a result, I was sent into prison."
        The famous man from the White House said, "One day, my mother brought some apples. She said to my brother and me, ‘You all want the reddest and biggest one, right? Well, let's have a competition. Now I divided the grassland in front of the gate into two and I will give one to each of you and you must shear(修剪) it well. And I will give the reddest and biggest apple to him who does it the most quickly and best.'"
        "After the competition, I won and I got the biggest apple. In our family, as long as you want to get the best things, you must take part in the competition. I think it is fair. No matter what you want, you must pay lots of efforts."

    D.it's always necessary to have a competition when we give children apples
