In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be dirtier than their gasolinepowered cousins.People in California love to talk about “zeroemissions(零排放) vehicles”,but people in California seem tobe_clueless_about where electricity comes from. Power plants most all use fire to make it. Apart from the few people who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators (发电机). Generators are fueled by something —usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal (地热) plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.In other words, those “zeroemissions” cars are likely coalburning cars. Because the coal is burned somewhere else, it looks clean. It is not true. It's as if the California Greens are covering their eyes —“If I can't see it, it's not happening.” Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But when you take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat — at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc.A gallon of gas may drive your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far, so electric cars burn more fuel than gaso linepowered ones. If our electricity came mostly from wind or geothermal, or solar, then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical, and economic reasons, we don't use much of those energy sources.In addition, electric cars' batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill. And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When it's a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.1.What's the main idea of the passage?A.Electric cars aren't actually clean.B.Electric cars are zeroemissions vehicles.C.Zeroemissions vehicles are popular.D.Gasolinepowered cars are more efficient.2.Which of the following words can replace “be clueless about” in Paragraph 2?A.be familiar with B.be curious aboutC.fail to understand D.show their interest in3.The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car run ________.A.at least 25 miles B.more than 25 milesC.as far as 25 miles D.less than 25 miles4.In the author's opinion, compared with cars using gas, electric cars are more ________.A.environmentally friendly B.expensiveC.efficient D.harmful5.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A.electric cars' batteries are poisonous for a long timeB.now electric cars are used more than their gasolinepowered cousinsC.zeroemissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environmentD.electric cars are not clean in that we get electricity mainly by burning somethingB(2013·江西六校联考)People born in winter are more likely to suffer mental health disorders, according to a recent study carried out by researchers at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee.Researchers raised baby mice from birth to weaning (断奶) in either “summer” light cycles of 16 hours of light and 8 hours of dark or “winter” cycles of 8 hours of light and 16 hours of dark. A third group experienced 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark a day.Then half the winter mice stayed in a winter cycle, while half switched to a summer schedule. The summer mice were similarly split. The mice raised in equal periods of light and dark were split into three groups, one of which stayed on the 12hour schedule, one of which joined the winter group, and one of which joined the summer group.After 28 days, it turns out the summerborn mice behaved the same whether they stayed on the summer cycle or switched to winter. But among the winterborn mice, those stayed in winter kept their previous schedule, while those that switched to summer stayed active for an extra hour and a half, which indicates that mice born and weaned in a winter light cycle showed dramatic disruptions in their biological clocks.The finding is the first of its kind in mammals, and it could explain why people born in winter are at higher risk for mental health disorders including bipolar depression, schizophrenia and seasonal affective disorder.“We know that the biological clock regulates mood in humans,”said studyresearcher McMahon. “If the mechanism (机制) similar to the one that we found in mice operates in humans, then it could not only have an effect on a number of behavioral disorders, but also have a more general effect on personality.”6.How many groups of mice are there finally in all in the experiment?A.Four. B.Five.C.Six. D.Seven.7.What's the main idea of the text?A.The biological clock regulates mood in humans.B.People born in winter are at higher risk for physical health disorders.C.Being born in winter has a negative effect on people's mental health.D.The length of light will influence the behavior of the mice.8.The underlined word “split”(Paragraph 3) can be replaced by ________.A.ended B.tornC.hit D.divided9.Which group of mice has changed their behavior after the experiment?A.The group born in winter and staying in winter.B.The group born in winter and switching to summer.C.The group born in summer and staying in summer.D.The group born in summer and switching to winter.10.Who is the appropriate reader of the passage?A.A j obhunter.B.A student in the university.C.A newlymarried couple.D.An experienced dentist.答案课时跟踪检测(三十)Ⅰ.1.选D 说话人是在电话投诉销售员,答话人自然应该首先了解发生了什么事情。
必修三Module 4阅读理解提速练——练速度(限时:20分钟)A(2022·山东省日照市校际联合检测)At least 3 people are dead in the Philippines now that Typhoon Hagupit has landed.The typhoon, which hit the eastern Philippines over the weekend, has blown down trees and sent more than 650-thousand people into shelters before weakening.“There were very strong winds last night. The roof was beginning to move, and rain was getting inside the rooms,” said a villager.The storm hit with gusts (强风) of over 100 miles per hour. And while the storm has slowed considerably from the super typhoon level it had last week, Hagupit still remains strong enough to create more damage.Christopher Perez is a local weather forecaster. He says, “We are continuing to expect bad weather and rough ocean waves. Threats of possible flash floods and landslides (滑坡) as well as possible storm waves are occurring in coastal areas.”Hagupit is expected to roll into the South China Sea tomorrow.It's currently going westward toward the southern tip of Vietnam, meaning it's unlikely to affect China.Hagupit's strength in the Philippines is much less severe than Typhoon Haiyan, which rolled through the country in 2021.Haiyan's tsunami-like storm waves and killer winds left thousands of people dead andleveled_entire_villages.The central Philippines is still trying to recover from last year's massive storm waves.语篇解读:本文是一篇新闻报道。

At the age of 16, her father thought that she had enough schooling and forced her to drop out of school to contribute to the family income. In 1922, with limited education and skills, the future didn't look bright for Lill. Her father demanded that Lill find a job as soon as possible, but she didn't have the confidence to ask for a job.One day, Lill gathered her courage and knocked on her very first door. She was met by Margaret Costello, the office manager. In her broken English, Lill told hershe was interested in the secretarial position. Margaret decided to give her a chance.Margaret sat her down at a typewriter and said, “Lill,let's see how good you really are.” She directed Lill to type a single letter, and then left. Lill looked at the clock and saw that it was 11:40 am. Everyone would be leaving for lunch at noon. She thought she should at least attempt the letter.On her first try, she got through one line but made four mistakes. She pulled the paper out and threw it away. The clock now read 11:45. “At noon,” she said to herself, “I'll move out with the crowd, and they will never see me again.”On her second attempt, things didn't get any better.Again she started over and finally completed the letter, full of mistakes, though. She looked at the clock: 11:55 — five minutes to freedom.Just then, Margaret walked in. She came directly over to Lill, and put one hand on the desk and the other on the girl's shoulder. She read the letter and paused. Then she said, “Lill, you're doing good wo rk!”Lill was surprised. She looked at the letter, then up at Margaret. With those simple words of encouragement, her desire to escape disappeared and her confidence began to grow. She thought, “Well, if she thinks it's good, then it must be good.I think I'll stay!”Lill did stay at the Carhartt Overall Company for 51 years, through two world wars and 11 presidents — all because someone had the insight to give a shy and uncertain young girl the gift of selfconfidence when she knocked on the door.1.Why did Lill leave school at an early age?A.To learn English well.B.To earn money for her family.C.To get selfconfidence.D.To become a typist.2.When Lill applied for the job, she ________.A.could speak good EnglishB.didn't know much about typingC.knew Margaret very wellD.never wrote any letter3.How many attempts did Lill make to type the letter?A.One. B.Two.C.Three. D.Four.4.Who does the underlined word“someone” in the last paragraph refer to?A.Lill's father. B.Lill herself.C.A president.

My every waking hour was consumedby the project and although I imagined that I would feelhappy after completing parts of the project, I was confused to find that instead, I was feeling rather depressed. I tried a range of methods to help cheer myself up. I had a relaxing bath, cooked a delicious meal to enjoy with my family and even watched a lighthearted movie, but to_no_avail. It was only when I turned to meditation (沉思) for a solution that the answer came to me: turn to nature!The very next day, I grabbed my camera and a bottle of water and set off to spend a few hours walking in a nature reserve, even though it was pouring with rain. Within a couple of minutes I felt alive again. To be honest, I felt like a young school girl again and had to stop myself from hopping along thepath singing I'msingingintherain, a song I used to sing when I was a child. I think as adults we often try too hard to control our inner children and as a result we restrain our own spirits, which only leads to depression and stress.Interestingly, it has been shown that people who spend 40 minutes walking in a nature reserve have a drop in their blood pressure levels, but this does not happen when they spend a similar amount of time walking in a busy city centre.If you feel a little low in spirits and know that you have spent too much time indoors, relax completely, remove your shoes and let your inner child come out and play.1.The author felt depressed because she ________.A.couldn't consume her waking hoursB.had not seen a film for a long timeC.had not finished her work on timeD.had worked on a hard job for too long2.The author walked in a nature reserve in the rain in order to ________.A.take photosB.find a solution to the projectC.hop along the pathD.cheer herself up3.The underlined part“to no avail〞in Paragraph 1 probably means “________〞.A.unsuccessful B.unrelatedC.uninteresting D.unexpected4.In the author's opinion, ________.A.a bath can make people relaxedB.depression is usually caused by hard workC.walking in a busy city centre harms people's healthD.it's good for adults to wake up their inner children when they are in low spirits5.The last paragraph mainly serves as a(n) ________.A.explanation B.suggestionC.introduction D.reminderBWelcome to Pocono WhitewaterThere's something fun here at Pocono Whitewater for every level of adventurer!

In the middle of the desert, I came upon a young man standingby the roadside. He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him. There was a time in the country when you'd be considered a jerk if you passed by somebody in need. Now you are a fool for helping. With gangs, drug addicts, murderers, rapists, thieves lurking everywhere, “I don't want to get involved” has become a national motto.Several states later I was still thinking about the hitchhiker. Leaving him stranded in the desert did not bother me so much. What bothered me was how easily I had reached the decision. I never even lifted my foot off the accelerator.Does anyone stop any more? I wondered. I recalled Blanche DuBois's famous line:“I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.” Could anyone rely on the kindness of strangers these days? One way to test this would be for a person to journey from coast to coast without any money, relying solely on the good will of his fellow Americans. What kind of Americans would he find? Who would feed him, shelter him, carry him down the road?The idea intrigued me.The week I turned 37, I realized that I had never taken a gamble in my life. So I decided to travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny. It would be a cashless journey through the land of the almighty dollar. I would only accept offers of rides, food and a place to rest my head. My final destination would be Cape Fear in North Carolina, a symbol of all the fears I'd have to conquer during the trip.I rose early on September 6, 1994, and headed for the Golden Gate Bridge witha 50pound pack on my back and a sign displaying my destination to passing vehicles:“America”.For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4, 223 miles across 14 states. As I traveled, folks were always warning me about someplace else. In Montana they told me to watch out for the cowboys in Wyoming; in Nebraska they said people would not be as nice in Iowa. Yet I was treated with kindness everywhere I went. I was amazed by people's readiness to help a stranger, even when it seemed to run contrary to their own best interests.1.Why did the author drive past the young man in the desert without stopping?A.Because he failed to notice this man.B.Because he was driving too fast.C.Because he thought the young man didn't need help.D.Because he was afraid of being tricked.2.What was it that made the author upset?A.Leaving the young man alone in the desert.B.Being considered a fool.C.Making the decision of not offering help so easily.D.Keeping thinking about the young man.3.The author decided to travel without a penny in order to ________.A.find out how long he could survive without helpB.go through the great difficulty in surviving unexpected environmentC.find out whether strangers would offer help to himD.figure out how strangers thought of his plan4.In the passage, the author described his journey as a gamble because ________.A.he was not so sure of the outlook of the journeyB.he had no money to give to strangersC.he was sure of the coming sufferingsD.he wasn't sure whether to make the journey5.The following part might probably ________.A.describe how he fooled the strangersB.describe how strangers went out their way to help himC.explain why people refused to help strangersD.explain how he overcame his difficulties on the way答案课时跟踪检测(三十九)Ⅰ.1.选C 考查交际用语。

Do you fear that crime, war, or terrorist attacks will disrupt the economy and your security?[2]These are legitimate (合情合理的) concerns that many people share. We live in difficult and uncertain times, but are these fears real?[3]Research shows that people who watch a lot of news on television overestimate the threats to their wellbeing. Why? Because television focuses on news that makes the world seem like a more dangerous place than ________. Afraid of the world that is portrayed (描写) on TV, people “cocoon”, staying in their homes with close family, and do not build bonds with their neighbors. Thus, they become more vulnerable.[4]The best way to face your fears is to begin the process of making a difference. The root causes of “dangers” are often the result of social problems that have been ignored. But you can make a commitment to do what you can to eliminate the conditions that cause the potential crises. By facing your fears and working to change their root causes, you overcome them.[5]Giving is a key part of this process because giving reduces selfcenteredness. It can make you feel more connected to others, and this connection will reduce fear and isolation. Author Robert Putnam's book Bowling Alone clearly demonstrates the benefits to staying connected with others —for security, health, happiness, and even income.[6]Have you ever heard of a job opportunity through a personal connection? Have you ever had neighbors help you out during a difficult situation? Has a friend ever cared for your child when you were exhausted?1.How does the author introduce the topic of the text?(no more than 5 words) ________________________________________________________________________ 2.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words.(no more than 3 words) ________________________________________________________________________ 3.What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?(no more than 6 words)________________________________________________________________________ 4.What is the main effect that giving can have?(no more than 12 words) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 5.What does the author mean by raising these questions in the last paragraph?(no more than 14 words)________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________答案课时跟踪检测(三十七)Ⅰ.1.选A 考查情景交际。
