题型:不详难度:来源:
The other day in school, we were discussing jobs. Our teacher, Mrs. Bolt said that career was very important and that it was never too early to think about your life’s work. Most of the young boys really were not too sure about what they wanted to be. But I knew exactly what I wanted to be, and when Mrs. Bolt asked me, I replied “A truck driver.”
“A truck driver?” repeated Mrs. Blot. “Why do you want to be one, Tom?”
“Because truck drivers are always on the move. They do not have to sit at desks all day. They are out on the road and they see a lot of the country. The pay is good, too. And you never have any homework.”
The class laughed.
“Well, Tom.” answered Mrs. Bolt. “You certainly sound quite enthusiastic (热情的). I guess that you don’t like sitting at a desk or doing homework. Is that correct, Tom?”
“Yes, I guess so, ” I said.
“Well, since you are so interested in becoming a truck driver, I think you should look into the field a little further. I want you to go to the library and take out a book on truck driving. And I want you to write a paper on it and hand it in at the end of the month.”
That’s the last time I’ll never tell anybody my secret ambition (雄心).
46.Mrs. Bolt suggested Tom write a book report because         .
A.she was angry with him.
B.she wanted him to learn about the other side of truck driving.
C.she was making fun of him.
D.she wanted the whole class to follow him
47.Which of the following is NOT true?
A.The writer thinks that truck drivers are well paid.
B.What Tom said made his classmates laugh.
C.It seemed as if Tom did not enjoy doing his homework.
D.Mrs. Bolt didn’t want Tom to become a truck driver.
48.Tom wouldn’t tell about his ambition any more because          .
A.he didn’t think his ambition could come true.
B.he just got more homework to do.
C.he was laughed at by the whole class.
D.he would not be able to become a truck driver.
49.What can we infer about Mrs. Bolt?

举一反三
On a good night when there is no Moon and the air is clear, only up to 4,000 or so stars can be seen by the unaided eye. From ancient times star – watchers have tried to bring some order into the sky by fitting the stars into patterns. The constellations (星座) to which names were given.
Observation of the night sky every few hours shows that in the northern hemisphere(半球) the stars appear to turn anticlockwise (逆时针方向) about a point near the Pole Star. As they turn, the stars keep the same positions in relation to each other, and in fact the appearance of the constellations has changed very little over the centuries. Like the Sun and Moon, the stars have a daily journey across the sky, rising upwards in the east and setting in the west – due to the Earth’s daily spin. The Circumpolar Stars, those near the Pole Star, are an exception to this; they are so close to the pole that they never disappear below the horizon (地平线) Although the stars always rise in the same places they do not do so at the same time every day. They rise about 4 minutes earlier each day since the Earth is progressing in its orbit around the Sun; in almost but not exactly a year they again rise and set at the same time. If a certain star is seen to rise in the east exactly when the Sun sets on a particular day, a few weeks later it will be seen well above the eastern horizon at sunset.
58.Which do you think is the best title of the passage above?
A.The Earth, the Moon and the Stars.       B.Motion of the Stars.
C.How to Watch the Stars.                       D.Appearance of the Stars.



 
59.Which of the following descriptions cannot be shown in the picture? 
A.The Circumpolar stars never disappear below the horizon.
B.The relative position of the stars in a constellation remains more or less the same as they move.
C.Stars appear to turn about a point near the Pole Star.
D.Stars appear to turn anticlockwise in the northern hemisphere.
60.From the passage we can learn that __________.
A.scientists can observe only up to 4,000 stars on a clear night
B.every day the stars always rise in the same place at the same time
C.thousands of years later, people may have to rename the constellations as the positions of the stars in them have changed
D.since the earth spins from the west to the east every day, most stars rise in the east and set in the west
61.Where is the passage probably taken from?
A.A fashion magazine                             B.A newspaper advertisement.
C.A science textbook.                              D.A collection of science fiction stories.

Many do-it-yourself homeowners are interested in
trying out solar power to leam about the technology and
perhaps to provide energy for limited-use applications.
There are a variety of ways to find cheap solar panels
(板), including buying used and building your own
with factory seconds.Both methods will save money
while forcing you to learn the ins-and-outs of a solar
power array (阵列).  
We"ve all seen solar-powered street signs or PV
panels being used for various purposes at remote locations.
When those units become cracked or chipped and are considered "unsafe", companies are forced to replace them, generally to avoid responsibility issues.Because it"s difficult to get rid of PV panels, many companies, if approached, are willing to give them away or to sell them for modest prices.Depending on the degree of damage present, expect to see performance degradation (降级) in the range of 10% to 60%.A multimeter (万用表) can be used to test the panel before buying.If the panel"s free, take it anyway.It could still be useful in a home solar project.
A solar panel is really nothing but a box serving as a container for a large group of solar cells.Factory second solar cells are usually sold on eBay at a small part of their regular cost.The cells come in a variety of sizes.You will need to figure out how much power a single cell produces to determine how many will need to be wired together to form an array.
A simple search of the Internet will show numerous sites detailing home solar panel projects.Do-it-yourself lovers are generally quite generous in supply photographs of their work and description of what went wrong and right with the project.
Getting cheap solar panels with slight imperfections, either used or through sales of factory seconds, is a perfect solution for home-built renewable energy projects.The high number of solar lovers online provide a wealth of useful information.Only limited skills are required, plus an understanding of the basic wiring involved.All are well within the talents of almost any home handyman.Beyond the satisfaction of having completed the project, you"ll come away with a functional solar panel that will be a source of power for use around the house or at remote locations.
Solar energy systems are quickly becoming more popular with homeowners as prices continue to decline.
72.The author writes the passage to introduce ____.
A.ways of finding cheap solar panels B.ways of saving energy
C.a way of making a solar panel     D.a home-built energy system
73.What does the phrase "factory seconds" in the passage refer to?
A.Second-hand factory products. B.Cheap but perfect factory products
C.Faulty factory solar cells.        D.The second best factory solar cells
74.From Paragraph 5, we can learn about home-built energy projects that ____.
A.none of them are beyond home handymen
B.a lot of useful information is available on the Internet
C.a perfect solution is to get cheap and perfect solar panels
D.understanding electrical wiring is not necessarily needed
75.What is the author"s attitude towards the future of solar energy systems?
A.Optimistic.  B.Pessimistic.      C.Indifferent.         D.Doubtful

   For the people living in the Nile Basin, the river is their life:. This 6,825 km waterway, whose watershed(流域) covers three million square kilometers, flows through mountains ,woodlands, lakes and deserts. Its potential for fishing, tourism and shipping is great—but so are its challenges.
Water shortage , already serious in Egypt and Sudan , will soon influence several other countries in the watershed as well. Today, about 160 million people depend on the Nile River for their living. Within the next 25 yeas ,the district"s population is expected to double, adding to the demand brought about by growth in industry and agriculture. The frequent drought(干旱)adds to the urgency.
Water quality is also a problem. Precious soil is washed out to sea. Wastes from industry and agriculture create pollution. Higher concentrations of salt influence irrigated soils. Water-borne diseases continue unchecked. In areas where it"s hot and damp, water hyacinths choke off lakes, dams and other sections of the river, making it difficult for fishing and other businesses to move forward.
Native people along the narrow area of farmland have watched the sand move closer day by day. They’ve seen the river change course, and their only source(来源) of water thickened with mud. They’re very poor and have few choices.
But a new program, the Nile Basin Initiative (NBI),is offering very practical assistance. The program is more than just a water-management project. It’s a plan for the social and economic development of a vast district: it concentrates on the needs of the poorest of the poor and the environment that supports them.
These are whole ecosystem problems, calling for united solutions(解决办法). Half the Nile Basin"s countries are among the world"s poorest nations;yet, somehow, they must find the  resources, skills and political will to overcome these challenges.
68. What are the great challenges the Nile Basin faces?
A. The development of .shipping industry.
B. Overfishing of native people.
C. Water shortage and water quality.
D. Increasing population and tourism.
69. The underlined word “hyacinths”(in Paragraph 3) refer to “          ”.
A. animals                           B. plants                     C. rocks                                D. salts
70. The program NBI is mainly aimed at           .
A. preventing water pollution                             B. changing the river course
C. improving living condition of the poor
D. preventing land from becoming desert
71. What would be the best title of this passage?
A. People"s Life in Egypt and Sudan
B. Frequent Drought in Egypt and Sudan
C. The Poorest Countries in the Nile Basin
D. The Ecosystem Problems in the Nile Basin
