29、e have strange ideas about food.For example,the tomato is a kind of very delicious vegetable.It is one of useful plants that can be prepared in many ways.It has rich nutrition and vitamins.But in the 18th century,Americans never ate tomatoes.They grew them in their gardens because tomato plants are

30、so pretty.But they thought the vegetable was poisonous(有毒的).They called tomatoes “poison apples”.President Thomas Jefferson,however,knew that tomatoes were good to eat.He was a learned man.He had been to Paris,where he learned to love the taste of tomatoes.He grew many kinds of tomatoes in his garde

31、n.The President taught his cook a way for a cream of tomato soup.This beautiful pink soup was served at the Presidents party.The guests thought the soup tasted really good.They never thought their President would serve his honoured(忠實(shí)的) guests poison apples.Jefferson never spoke to his honoured gues

33、.答案:B解析:推理判斷題。由第一段第五句“But in the 18th century,Americans never ate tomatoes.”可知B項(xiàng)的敘述“在19世紀(jì)之前美國(guó)人不吃西紅柿”是正確的。26The passage tells us that Jefferson was a president who learned to love the taste of tomatoes . A.while he was in ParisB.when he was a little boyC.because his parents told him soD.from boo

34、ks答案:A解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段第三句“He had been to Paris,where he learned to love the taste of tomatoes.”可知答案為A項(xiàng)。27According to the text, cooked the beautiful pink soup at the Presidents party. A.the President himselfB.a French cookC.the Presidents cookD.the Presidents wife答案:C解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第五句“The Presiden

35、t taught his cook a way for a cream of tomato soup.”可推知,是總統(tǒng)的廚師做的西紅柿湯。CIn summer,millions of people will head for the beach.And while the ocean can be a great place to swim and play,it may also be useful in another way.Some scientists think that waves could help make electricity.“Have you ever been o

36、n a surfboard or boat and felt yourself being lifted up by a wave?Or have you jumped in the water and felt the energy as waves crashed over you?” asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland.“There is certainly a lot of energy in waves.”Scientists are workin

37、g on using that energy to make electricity.Most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean.“The winds start out by making little ripples(波紋)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

38、 up energy and then sending it off on a journey.”When waves come towards the shore,people can set up dams or other barricades to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine(渦輪).The turbine can then power an electrical generator(發(fā)電機(jī)).The United States and a few other countries

39、have started doing research on wave energy,and it is already being used in Scotland.The resource is huge.We will never run out of wave power.Besides,wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources,such as oil and coal.Oceans cover three quarters of the earths surface.That woul

40、d make wave power seem perfect for creating energy around the world.There are some drawbacks,however.Jamie Taylor said that wave power still cost too much money.He said that its effects on animals in the sea were still unknown.Plus,wave power would get in the way of fishing and boat traffic.With mor

41、e research,however,“Many of these problems might be overcome,” Taylor said.“Demand for energy to power our TVs and computers,drive our cars,and heat and cool our homes is growing quickly throughout the world.Finding more energy sources is very important,for traditional sources of energy like oil and

42、 gas may run out some day.”In the future,when you turn on a light switch,an ocean wave could be providing the electricity!28Which of the following is NOT true?A.Wave power doesnt cost too much money.B.Wave energy is so clean that it doesnt create the same amount of pollution as other energy sources.

43、C.Wave power affects fishing and boat traffic.D.Wave power may affect marine animals.答案:A解析:由倒數(shù)第三段的第一句話中的“.wave power still cost too much money”可知A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。29The underlined word “drawbacks” probably means . A.regretsB.adventuresC.disadvantagesD.difficulties答案:C解析:由上一句“That would make wave power seem

44、 perfect for creating energy around the world.”及下文提到的利用波能需要克服的問題可判斷,與drawbacks意義相當(dāng)?shù)脑~是disadvantages。30We can infer from the passage that . A.finding more new energy sources is not necessary because of wave energyB.wave energy is a resource that will never run out and will be used all over the wo

45、rldC.wave power is not quite perfect for creating energy around the worldD.wave power doesnt create any pollution答案:B解析:由第七段中的“We will never run out of wave power.”及倒數(shù)第二段中的“Many of these problems might be overcome”等句子可以推斷,波能是一種取之不盡且能夠在全世界使用的能源。31What can be the best title for the passage?A.How to Ge

46、t Electricity by Waves?B.The Advantages of Wave EnergyC.Can Waves Make Electricity?D.The Disadvantages of Wave Energy答案:C解析:本文主要是論及波能的使用前景。DWhat do you know about the sea?We know that it looks very pretty when the sun is shining on it.We also know that it can be very rough when there is a strong win

47、d.What other things do we know about it?The first thing to remember is that the sea is very big.When you look at the map of the world you will find there is more water than land.The sea covers three quarters of the world.The sea is also very deep in some places.It is not deep everywhere.Some parts o

48、f the sea are very shallow.But in some places the depth of the sea is very great.There is one spot,near Japan,where the sea is nearly 11 kilometres deep!The highest mountain in the world is about 9 kilometres high.If that mountain were put into the sea at that place,there would be 2 kilometres of wa

49、ter above it!What a deep place!If you have swum in the sea,you know that it is salty.You can taste the salt.Rivers,which flow into the sea,carry salt from the land into the sea.Some parts of the sea are saltier than other parts.There is one sea,called the Dead Sea,which is very salty.It is so salty

50、that swimmers cannot sink!Fishes cannot live in the Dead Sea!In most parts of the sea,there are plenty of fishes and plants.Some live near the top of the sea.Others live deep down.There are also millions of tiny living things that float in the sea.These floating things are so small that it is hard t

51、o see them.Many fishes live by eating these.The sea can be very cold.Divers who go deep down in the sea know this.On the top the water may be warm.When the diver goes downwards,the sea becomes colder and colder.Another thing happens.When the diver goes deeper,the water above presses down on him.It s

52、queezes(擠) him.Then the diver has to wear clothes made of metal.But he cannot go very deep.Some people who wanted to go very deep used a very strong diving ship!They went down to the deepest part of the sea in it.They went down to a depth of eleven kilometres!32When does the sea look beautiful?A.Whe

53、n it is calm.B.When the weather is fine.C.When there is a strong wind.D.When there is a storm.答案:B解析:由第一段的第二句“We know that it looks very pretty when the sun is shining on it.”可知,天氣好的時(shí)候大海看起來很漂亮。33Why does the author cite the sea somewhere near Japan?A.To show that the sea in some places is very deep.

54、B.To show that the sea in some places is very shallow.C.To show that its depth is 9 kilometres greater than the height of the highest mountain.D.To show that its depth is 11 kilometres greater than the height of the highest mountain.答案:A解析:“There is one spot,near Japan,where the sea is nearly 11 kil

55、ometres deep!”的前一句是“But in some places the depth of the sea is very great.”,所以提到的深達(dá)11千米的地方就是為了說明海洋的某些地方非常深。34Which of the following statements about the Dead Sea is NOT true?A.There are plenty of fishes in it.B.It is a safe place for swimmers.C.It is extremely salty.D.No fish can be found in it.答案:A

56、解析:由“Fishes cannot live in the Dead Sea!”可知,A項(xiàng)表述有誤。35Why cant people go very deep in the sea?A.Because the deepest part of the sea is very cold.B.Because the deepest part of the sea is very rough.C.Because the pressure of the water at great depths is unendurable(無法忍受的).D.Because fierce fishes usuall

57、y live there.答案:C解析:由最后一段中的“When the diver goes deeper,the water above presses down on him.It squeezes him.”可知,當(dāng)人們到達(dá)深海的時(shí)候,海水的壓力可以大得讓人難以忍受,需要借助其他的輔助工具才能進(jìn)行深海作業(yè)。第二節(jié)(共5小題;每小題2分,滿分10分)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。Four Steps to Better LearningSheela and Nisha had almost the same level of intelligence and came from similar family backgrounds.Sheela found it hard to memorise a poem for an oral test while Nisha did it without any difficulty.36 Why was there a difference? The answer is:Nisha just knew how to learn better than Sheela did.37 Here are four steps to bette
