Superconducting MaterialsThe stone age， The Iron Age. Entire epochs have been named for materials. So what to call the decades ahead? The choice will be tough. Welcome to the age of superstuff. Material science —— once the least sexy technology - is bursting with new， practical discoveries led by superconducting ceramics that may revolutionize electronics. But superconductors are just part of the picture： from house and cars to cook pots and artificial teeth， the world will someday be made of different stuff. Exotic plastics， glass and ceramics will shape the future just as surely as have genetic engineering and computer science.The key to the new materials is researchers‘ increasing ability to manipulate substances at the molecular level. Ceramics， for example，have long been limited by their brittleness. But by minimizing the microscopic imperfections that cause it， scientists are making far stronger ceramics that still retain such qualities as hardness and heat resistance. Ford Motor Co. now uses ceramic tools to cut steel. A firm called Kyocera has created a line of ceramic scissors and knives that stay sharp for years and never rust or corrode.A similar transformation has overtaken plastics. High-strength polymers now form bridges， ice-skating rinks and helicopter rotors. And one new plastic that generates electricity when vibrated or pushed is used in electric guitars， touch sensors for robot hands and karate jackets that automatically record each punch and chop. Even plastic litter， which once threatened to permanently blot the landscape， has proved amenable to molecular tinkering. Several manufacturers now make biodegradable forms; some plastic six-pack rings for example， gradually decompose when exposed to sunlight. Researchers are developing ways to make plastics as recyclable as metal or glass. Besides， composites - plastic reinforced with fibers of graphite or other compounds - made the round-the-world flight of the voyager possible and have even been proved in combat： a helmet saved an infantryman‘s life by deflecting two bullets in the Grenada invasion.Some advanced materials are old standard with a new twist. The newest fiberoptic cable that carry telephone calls cross-country are made of glass so transparent that a piece of 100 miles thick is clearer than a standard window pane.But new materials have no impact until they are made into products. And that transition could prove difficult， for switching requires lengthy research and investment. It can be said a firmer handle on how to moveto commercialization will determine the success or failure of a country in the near future.1. How many new materials are mentioned in this passage?[A]Two[B]Three[C]Four[D]Five答案：B 三种超导材料。

Good morning, class!We know that there are too many net bars around us. The Internet is popular and it makes our lives colorful. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer and get more information from the Internet. We can learn English. We can read some good newspapers and magazines. It can make us clever in playing computer games. We can send E-mails to our friends quickly. We can chat(聊天) freely online with our friends. It can help us get in touch with people from all over the world.But some students spend too much time in playing computer game and some stay in the net bars all day and all night. Teenagers even get to have boyfriends or girlfriends online. They write too many letters to each other. It takes them too much time to chat online so they do worse and worse in their lessons and they don’t study well any more. I think we mustn’t get online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays. We should get online with adults(成人)--our teacher or parents.At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some out-of-class activities at school. We usually have activities from 4:50 to 5:50 in the afternoon. We have different kinds of activities. If you are interested in sports, you can play basketball or football. We can go to the English Corner. We can practice talking in English there. We hope we can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities that we can learn a lot from and less time on the Internet.Thank you for listening to me. That’s all.( ) 1.The short passage is about __________.A. going onlineB. how to communicate with othersC. how to spend our free timeD. different kinds of activities( ) 2. The Internet can make our lives _________.A. helpful and importantB. enjoyable and interestingC. enjoyable but expensiveD. different kinds of activities( ) 3. ________ is not good.A. Sending E-mailsB. Reading newspapers and magazines onlineC. going online with adultsD. Spending all day in the net bars( ) 4. Playing computer games________.A. gives us lots of informationB. makes our studies worseC. makes us more cleverD. is harmful to our health( ) 5. Which of the following is NOT right?A. There are too many net bars in the cities.B. We can learn English from the Internet.C. We mustn’t get online when we are studying at school.D. We cannot do out-of-class activities from 4:50 to 5:50 p.m.How green are you? Do you care about protecting the environment and saving energy? We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you. Remember these three words: Reduce, reuse and recycle.REDUCEReduce means “use less.”Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary--- or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local produces if possible, and try not to buy too many things form abroad. It may cost a lot of money to bring them to us.REUSEReuse means “use again.”Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.RECYCLERecycle means “change things into something else.”Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.( )6.A. Things from abroad do harm to our environmentB. Local products are much cheaperC. To choose local products means that we love our countryD. Things from abroad aren’t necessary( )7. According to the passage, when we find our clothes are out of fashion, what should we do?A. Throw them awayB. If they are still suitable, keep themC. Clean the floor with themD. Give them to others and buy new ones( )8. What is the helpful activity in our daily life?A. To shop with plastic bagsB. To use paper cupsC. To collect old newspapersD. To burn fallen leaves( )9. According to the passage, which of the following is RIGHT?A. We should learn to grow vegetablesB. People mustn’t produce waste any moreC. Children are too young to do anything to save energy.D. The simplest everyday activities are important to protect our world. ( )10. Which of the following is WRONG according to this passage?A. Always buy new things and throw away old onesB. Use china cups instead of paper cupsC. Recycle something that can be recycledD. Think first when we want to buy something参考答案：1. A2. B3. D4. C5. D6. B7. B8. C9. D 10. A。

2020公共英语一级模拟试题2020公共英语一级模拟试题Buildings and LivingAThe design of most houses throughout the world depends on the climate. People living in hot countries need their houses to be as cool as possible, while people in cold countries need their houses to be warm. The materials that people use to build their houses usually depend on what they can find around them. Stone, mud1, straw and wood are all natural materials that have been used to build houses for thousands of years. However, many modern houses are built from manmade materials such as steel and glass.The ancient Greeks built their houses from sun-dried mud bricks laid on stone. The roofs were covered with pottery tiles2. Rooms were built around an open yard so that cool air could build up and move through the rooms during hot days.Between 1000 A.D. and 1500 A.D., castles were built in Britain, France, Germany and many other European countries. Castles were built by important people such as kings and queens. They were not only great houses that the owners could show off to their friends, but also military3 bases with which the lands around them were defended.The Incas built their homes from large rocks from the nearby mountains. The rocks were fitted together and thethick walls protected them against the cold wind in winter.The Etruscans lived in western Italy around 2,500 years ago. Wealthy Etruscan families built luxurious4 palaces with beautiful bronze statues and mirrors.The Iroquois people lived in the forests of North America. They built their long-houses using wood covered with sheetsof thick bark5. These houses were huge, and several families lived in each one.Notes：1. mud n.泥2. pottery tile 陶瓦3. military adj.军事的4. luxurious adj.奢侈的, 豪华的5. bark n.树皮1. Unlike other people, the ancient Greeks built _____.A. a lot of great castles to show off to their friendsB. their houses on stone with sun-dried mud bricksC. their houses from large rocks from the mountainsD. many luxurious palaces with beautiful decorations2. The Etruscans in western Italy and the people building castles in Europe were alike because _____.A. they built houses with beautiful bronze statues and mirrorsB. they had military bases which they used to defendtheir landsC. they were very wealthy and built luxurious palaces or castles for themselvesD. they built great houses so that they could show them off to their friends and relatives3. The Iroquois people living in North America differed from the other people because _____.A. the roofs of their homes were covered with pottery tilesB. their houses were built from steel and glassC. the walls of their houses protected them from the coldD. their houses were big enough for several families to live in each oneBIt seems that there are hundreds of different styles of houses, and we have a different name for each one. Here are some types of North American houses： A-Frame —A modern A-shaped house with its roof spreading down towards the ground on both sides. They often have large windows on the front and back. They are popular as cottages.Co-operative —A unit owned by a company where a buyer gets a share in it. The user’s rights and obligations1 are governed by a member’s agreement. Different laws in the U.S. and Canada govern co-operatives.Condominium —A multi-unit building, with each unit owned by a different person. The building and the land are owned by all of the unit owners.Federal —Often made of brick, this is a big two-story house with a front door in the center, and sidelights and a fanlight window2 above the door. It has windows on the front and sides of the house as well as a chimney on one side of the house.Mansard —This two-story house gets its name from its roof, which has two slopes3. The lower slope is steeper than the upper one. The roof continues over the second story of the house only to be interrupted by small windows.相关推荐：。

The Vieira family moved to the United States in 1981. At that time, they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only communicate in English. This was because they were now living in an English-speaking country.Now the Vieira children are adults, and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends. But they cannot communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move to new countries, they often leave their own customs and mother language behind. This is a mistake because there are many benefits to knowing more than one language.One advantage of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate directly with more people around the world. You do not have to depend on others to talk for you, so you’re more independent. People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.Furthermore, speaking a second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively. Local expressions, vocabulary, and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a person’s understanding of another culture. So, knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.Finally, having more multi-language speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well, the world can become closer. Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each other’s problems.The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear. In fact, there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people don’t try to learn another language. It is even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.1. What is the passage mainly about?A. The benefits of learning other languages.B. The reasons why people come to America.C. The importance of learning English.D. How to learn another language.2. The passage begins with the experience of the Vieira family in order to_______.A. discuss the need for teaching a new languageB. introduce the passage’s main characters to the readersC. describe the advantages of moving to another countryD. show the problems of speaking only one language3. The underlined phrase “multi-language speakers”(Paragraph 5) means “people who know ______.”A. their mother languageB. a new languageC. more than one languageD. body language4. According to the passage, if you can speak more than one language, you can____.A. find a better jobB. make more friendsC. better understand historyD. communicate more independently5. Based on the last paragraph, which of the following is the worst?A. Not knowing another language.B. Forgetting one’s mother language.C. Refusing to learn another language.D. Failing to communicate with others.PRIVATE ENGLISH LESSONSAn experienced teacher is offering private lessons in English.Please email me at the address below and tell me:◆Your age◆Reasons for learning English◆Your level of English◆Areas that you need to focus on –grammar, listening, speaking, reading, writing, etc.Mrs. Daniels( daniels_m@)From: Li_Hua@To: daniels_m@CC…:Subject: English LessonsDear Mrs. Daniels,I recently saw your advertisement on the university website offering private English lessons.

公共英语一级考试模拟题－阅读理解公共英语一级考试模拟题－阅读理解TEXT ASurprisingly, no one knows how many children receive education in English hospit als, still less the content or quality of that education. Proper records are jus t not kept.? We know that more than 850.000 children go through hospital each year, and that every child of school age has a legal right to continue to receive education wh ile in hospital. We also know there is only one hospital teacher to every 1,000 children in hospital.?Little wonder the latest survey concludes that the extent and type of hospital t eaching available differ a great deal across the country. It is found that half the hospitals in England which admit children have no teacher. A further quarter have only a part-time teacher. The special children’s hospitals in major cities do best; general hospitals in the country and holiday areas are worst off.? From this survey, one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have som e contact with a hospital teacher—and that contact may be as little as two hour s a day. Most children interviewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all. They had not been prepared for it by parents or their own school. If the re was a teacher they were much more likely to read books and do math or number work; without a teacher they would only play games.?Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling behind and m aintaining the habit of school to keeping a child occupied, and the latter is of ten all the teacher can do. The position and influence of many teachers was summ ed up when parents referred to them as “the library lady” or just “thehelper”. Children tend to rely on concerned school friends to keep in touch with school w ork. Several parents spoke of requests for work being ignored or refused by the school. Once back at school children rarely get extra teaching, and are told to catch up as best they can.?Many short-stay child-patients catch up quickly. But sch。

⽆忧考为您提供了“2020年英语等级考试⼀级阅读理解练习题”，欢迎阅读参考！更多相关讯息请关注⽆忧考！ In 1901, Karl Landsteiner, an Austrian scientist, discovered that there are four types of blood. These four blood types were named A, B, AB and O. People have one of these four types. Blood type O is the most common around the world. Blood type A is the second most common, and type AB is the least common. If people with type A blood are given type B blood, or people with type B blood are given type A blood, they will probably die. In 1927, a Japanese doctor, Furukawa Takeji, carried out research and came up with the idea that people with different blood types also had different personalities. He said that people with type A blood are usually calm and serious; people with type B blood are curious, cheerful and outgoing; people with type O blood are generous and trustworthy; while those with type AB blood are often caring, original and careful. More recently, a doctor in the United States wrote a book that links blood types and what people eat. For example, his book suggests people with type O blood should eat more meat and less bread. A diet for people with type A blood includes more vegetables. His book, Eat Right for Your Type, has been a hit with people who want to lose weight. However, Dr. Peter D’ Adamo believes that eating food that matches a person’s blood type can do more than help them lose weight. He thinks it will make the person healthier in other ways, too. 61.
