But for generations，Chinese people have long dreamed of taming(制服，使顺从) the Yangtze River for power generation and flood control. The river's endless floods have brought destruction and death for centuries－1 million deaths in the 20th century alone.Nowadays，along the Yangtze River，the third longest river in the world，a great construction project，the Three Gorges Dam is in progress. Once completed in 2016，it will be the largest and most powerful hydro-electric project in the world. Towering 610 feet high and stretching 1.3 miles wide，the dam will create a reservoir that extends nearly 400 miles upstream thus changing the original landscape of this region.The project has been under discussion in China since the idea of the dam was first put forward in 1919.The Three Gorges Dam is both a marvel of engineering and the greatest challenge its designers have ever faced. The Three Gorges Dam has been engineered to store over 5 trillion gallons (加仑) of water and to withstand(经得起) an earthquake of 7.0 on the Richter scale(里氏级)．In addition，the government says the dam will control terrifying floods and provide electrical power to China's growing cities.Like China's Great Wall，it will be one of the few man-made structures that can be seen from space. The Chinese government and the dam's engineers think of the project as a symbol of national pride.预习自测：课文原句背诵1．Mao Zedong wrote a poem “walls of stone to hold back clouds and rain till a smooth lake rises in the nar row gorges”．毛泽东写过一首诗，在诗中，他想象了“更立西江石壁，截断巫山云雨，高峡出平湖”的壮丽景观。

Assa Abloy，the world's largest maker of door locks，has launched a pilot in which the Clarion Hotel in Stockholm will lend customers mobile phones with close-range radio chips.Repeat visitors during a four-month trial will be able to check in(在旅馆登记) using their phones before arrival and have their phones activated(激活) as “keys”．They will then be able to unlock the door by holding the phone next to it.The short-range radio technology，known as Near Field Communication (NFC)，is expected to be built into smart phones in the coming years. It is also expected to be used for ticketing and card payments.Assa Abloy said it wanted to test the system before expanding(扩展) it to other hotels，commercial buildings and homes.Greger Johansson，who works at research firm Redeye，said NFC is hot technology in the mobile phone market. But he said few models have used it so far and it will take “several years”before it becomes widely used.The head of Assa Abloy's mobile keys department，Daniel Berg，said that those who took part in the trial may find it cumbersome(笨重的) to have an extra mobile phone. But once people have the technology in their own phones，he said，it will save them time at check-in and improve safety.He said the phone technology works with existing radio-enabled locks，so hotels can continue giving key cards to visitors who don't have the new technology in their phones.1．Which of the following customers can take part in the trial？A．Those who will live in the hotel for four months.B．Those who carry at least three mobile phones.C．Those who have stayed at the hotel at least twice.D．Those who pay for the extra mobile phone.2．From the text we can know that the NFC technology ________.A．can only be used in the hotelsB．is still being developed at presentC．has been built into smart phonesD．failed in the experiment for card payments3．Which of the following is a disadvantage of the mobile phone system mentioned in the text at present？A．Customers have to carry at least two phones at the same time.B．It is too expensive for customers to buy the mobile phone.C．The hotel can’t make sure that customers are safe.D．Customers have to check in before and after their arrival.4．What’s the best title of the passage？A．Keys Are Used As Mobile PhonesB．The Mobile Phone Market Is Enjoying a BoomC．Visitors to a Stockholm Hotel Enjoy Special ServiceD．Hotel Replaces Room Keys with Mobile PhonesBMost people feel lonely sometimes，but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours.This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact，it is quite normal. For some people，though，loneliness can last for years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind is situation，for example，family problem，the death of a loved one，or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems，such as headaches and sleeplessness，it usually does not last for more than a year.The third kind of loneliness is the most serious. Unlike the second type，chronic(the opposite of “temporary”)usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others.Unfortunately，many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.Psychologists(心理学家)agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person's social contacts，for example，friends，family members，co-workers，etc. We depend on various people for different reasons. For instance，our families give us emotional support，our parents and teachers give us guidance，and our friends share similar interests and activities. However，psychologists have found that，though lonely people may have many social contacts，theysometimes feel they should have more. They question their popularity.Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons：they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease，while temporary and situational loneliness can be a sad，and sometimes dangerous condition.5．How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage？A．By talking to friends.B．Just by ignoring it.C．By going to see a doctor.D．By asking your teachers for guidance.6．The underlined word “it” in the last sentence of the second paragraph refers to “________”．A．temporary lonelinessB．situational lonelinessC．a new place.D．sleeplessness7．Why do psychologists want to help chronically lonely people？A．Chronic loneliness can cause family problems.B．Chronic loneliness can cause serious illness.C．Chronic loneliness can not be overcome.D．Chronic loneliness is incurable.8．Loneliness is divided according to ________.A．the time it lastsB．the places where it appearsC．different people it happens toD．different seasons when it appears答案基础落实Ⅰ.1.B 2.A 3.D 4.CⅡ.1.in which 2.hold back e true 4.which 5．construction 6.who7.suggested8.burning 9．global warming10.living/leadingⅢ.1.of back 2.for 3.in 4.to 5.into能力提升1．C2．B3．A4．D5．B6．B7．B8．A。
