23、ool climate vegetables like asparagus (芦笋)are now able to be grown in places as hot as Hawaii.In Hawaii,marine (海的)engineers have been able to actually let you believe such vegetables are living in hotter climates.In that way they grow faster and taste better.What these engineers have been using is

24、simply cold sea water.How did they use it?They place pipes in the soil and cold water flowing through them cools the earth.This causes plant growth and enables gardeners in tropical climates to grow crops from cooler climates.Also some of these pipes are exposed to the air and they make the air “wet

25、” and thus water the gardens.What especially makes people happy about this process is that nothing bad to the natural conditions is being used.Another new use of cold ocean water is to cool buildings.Engineers believe that the entire west coast of the United States could be air-conditioned using sea

26、 water.21What does the new system enable the gardeners to do?A.Water the field with sea water.B.Grow asparagus in hot places.C.Grow cool climate vegetables in hot areas.D.Cool the soil.答案:C解析:从“Coolclimatevegetables.arenowabletobegrowninplacesashotasHawaii.”可知应选 C 项。22Sea water mentioned in the pass

29、dvanceD.sea water has many advantages答案:C解析:此题为根据文章内容的推理题。A、D 两项为作者文中明确提出的正确观点,B 项文章中明确表明 asparagus 可在夏威夷那么热的地方种植,故 A、B、D 三项均被排除。BBorn in Beijing in 1930,Yuan Longping graduated from Southwest Agricultural College in China in 1953,and then taught crop genetics and breeding(养殖)at Hunan Agricultural U

30、niversity.He began research there in hybrid rice development in 1964 and was transferred to the Hunan Academy of Agricultural Sciences in 1971 to serve as a research professor.Professor Yuan is widely acknowledged for his 1973 discovery of the genetic basis of heterosis(杂种优势)in rice.With products 20

31、 percent higher than previous varieties,Professor Yuans new crop immediately began to improve food availability in China.Beyond this exceptional achievement,Professor Yuan has built an additional legacy(馈赠)of combating food shortages and hunger.Prof.Yuan has also played a key role in developing hybr

32、id rice throughout Asia and to Africa and the Americas.Since 1980,he has trained thousands of scientists and researchers from over 25 countries and has served as a chief consultant to the FAO.Farmers in more than ten other countries besides China,including the United States,have thus benefited from

33、his work,gaining access to a technology they may otherwise never have enjoyed.In addition to the 2004 World Food Prize,Prof.Yuans honours and awards include Chinas State Supreme Science and Technology Award,the 2001 Magsaysay Award,the UN FAO Medal of Honour for Food Security,and the 2004 Wolf Prize

35、ork has caused many to call him “Father of Hybrid Rice”,while his continuing research offers even more promise for world food security and adequate nutrition for the worlds poor.25According to the first paragraph,which of the following is not true?A.Yuan Longping graduated from college at the age of

36、 23.B.Yuan Longping began to work in 1953.C.Yuan Longping began to teach both crop genetics and breeding.D.Yuan Longping served as a research professor at the age of 40.答案:D解析:细节理解题。由第一段第二句中“.in1971toserveasaresearchprofessor”可知,D 项的叙述是错误的。26When did Professor Yuan begin to train some scientists and

37、 researchers from different countries?A.When he was fifty years old.B.When he was forty years old.C.When he was thirty years old.D.When he was sixty years old.答案:A解析:推理判断题。由第三段第二句可知,袁教授是从 1980 年开始培训来自不同国家的科学家和研究人员,又因他出生于 1930 年,因此 1980 年他是 50 岁。27Many people call Yuan Longping “Father of Hybrid Rice

38、” . A.because he is the father of Hybrid RiceB.because of his outstanding lifes work in studying and researching riceC.because of his transforming China from food deficiency to food securityD.because his son also worked in studying and researching rice答案:B解析:推理判断题。通过整篇的叙述可知,袁隆平之所以被称为“杂交水稻之父”,是因为他杰出的

39、贡献。本题可采用排除法。28Which is the correct order of the things that happened to Yuan Longping?a.He was a teacher in Hunan Province.b.He achieved a major scientific breakthrough.c.He began his research in hybrid rice development.d.He graduated from Southwest Agricultural College.e.He was transferred to the H

40、unan Academy of Agricultural Sciences.A.d,a,c,e,bB.d,a,e,c,bC.d,c,a,e,bD.a,d,c,b,e答案:A解析:细节理解题。从文章第一段第一、二句话可知,d 项的叙述发生在 a 项的叙述之前,排除 D 项;a项的叙述发生在 c 项的叙述之前,排除 C 项;c 项的叙述发生在 e 项的叙述之前,排除 B 项。由此可知,A 项的顺序是正确的。CAlmost every machine with moving parts has wheels,yet no one knows exactly when the first wheel

41、was invented or what it was used for.We do know,however,that they existed over 5,500 years ago in ancient Asia.The oldest known transport wheel was discovered in 2002 in Slovenia.It is over 5,100 years old.Evidence suggests that wheels for transport didnt become popular for a while,though.This could

42、 be because animals did a perfectly good job of carrying farming tools and humans around.But it could also be because of a difficult situation.While wheels need to roll on smooth surfaces,roads with smooth surfaces werent going to be constructed until there was plenty of demand for them.Eventually,r

43、oad surfaces did become smoother,but this difficult situation appeared again a few centuries later.There had been no important changes in wheel and vehicle design before the arrival of modern road design.In the mid-1700s,a Frenchman came up with a new design of roada base layer(层) of large stones co

44、vered with a thin layer of smaller stones.A Scotsman improved on this design in the 1820s and a strong,lasting road surface became a reality.At around the same time,metal hubs(the central part of a wheel)came into being,followed by the Pneumatic tyre(充气轮胎) in 1846.Alloy wheels were invented in 1967,

45、sixty years after the appearance of tarmacked roads(柏油路).As wheel design took off,vehicles got faster and faster.29What might explain why transport wheels didnt become popular for some time?A.Few knew how to use transport wheels.B.Humans carried farming tools just as well.C.Animals were a good means

46、 of transport.D.The existence of transport wheels was not known.答案:C解析:细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知,动物可以携带农具和载人,因此那时动物是一种很好的交通工具。30What do we know about road design from the passage?A.It was easier than wheel design.B.It improved after big changes in vehicle design.C.It was promoted by fast-moving vehicles.D.I

47、t provided conditions for wheel design to develop.答案:D解析:推理判断题。根据第三、四两段可知,轮子的设计随着道路条件的改善而得到了不断的改进,故选 D 项。31How is the last paragraph mainly developed?A.By giving examples.B.By making comparisons.C.By following time order.D.By making classifications.答案:C解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段可知,18 世纪中叶,一位法国人提出了一种新的道路设计;19 世

48、纪 20年代一位苏格兰人进行了改进,同时期出现了金属轮毂;之后 1846 年出现了充气轮胎;1907 年出现了柏油路;1967 年发明了合金轮胎。由此可知,该段是按时间顺序逐步阐述的。32What is the passage mainly about?A.The beginning of road design.B.The development of transport wheels.C.The history of public transport.D.The invention of fast-moving vehicles.答案:B解析:主旨大意题。本文从轮子的发明到不断改进,介绍了

49、车轮的发展历史。第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 10 分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。What will you do if you cant eat everything bought in the canteen?33.
