Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources, 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 isa global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.24.From the text we know that windmills .A. were invented by European armiesB. have a history of more than 2,800 yearsC. used to supply power to radio in remote areasD. have rarely been used since electricity was discovered25.What was a new use for wind power in the late 19gh century?A. Sailing a boat.B. Producing electricity.C. Grinding wheat into flour.D. Pumping water from underground.26.One of the reasons wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that .A. wind power is cleanerB. it is one of the oldest power sourcesC. it was cheaper to create energy from windD. the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needs27.What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A. The advantages of wind power.B. The design of wind power plants.C. The worldwide movement to save energy.D. The global trend towards producing power from wind.CStudents and Technology in the ClassroomI love my Black berry—it’s my little connection to the large world that can go any where with me. I also love my laptop computer, as it holds all of my writing and thoughts. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices(设备) and truly communicate with others.On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers.My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule—no laptops, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.Most students assume（假设）that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with st udents misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am antitechnology. There’s no truth in that al all. I love technology and try to keep up with i t so I can relate to my students.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between the course material and the class discussion.I’ve been teaching my history class in this w ay for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change, I’m sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.28.Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with .A. the course materialB. others’ misuse of technologyC. discussion topicsD. the author’s class regulations29. The underlined word“engage”in Para. 4 probably means.A. exploreB. acceptC. changeD. reject30.According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may .A. keep students from doing independent thinkingB. encourage students to have in-depth conversationsC. help students to better understand complex themesD. affect students’ concentration on course evaluation31.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author .A. is quite stubbornB. will give up teaching historyC. will change his teaching plan soonD. values technology-free dialogues in his classDCan dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe（方法）for success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals are just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “Dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk“Cat”.What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. T hey can learn to read each other’s body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was previously suspected. Once familiar with each other’s presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom(梳理) each other.The significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets—to people who don’t get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.32.The underlined word swimmingly in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .A. earlyB. painfullyC. quicklyD. smoothly33.Some cats and dogs may fight when .A. they are cold to each otherB. they look away from each otherC. they misunderstand each other’s signalsD. they are introduced at an early age34.What is found surprising about cats and dogs?A. They eat and sleep together.B. They observe each other’s behaviors.C. They learn to speak each other’s language.D. They know something from each other’s voices.35.What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?A. We should learn to live in harmony.B. We should know more about animals.C. We should live in peace with animals.D. We should learn more body languages.第二节短文七选五（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。
