Since much of the air pollution comes from coal-fired power plants,scientists in Denmark are trying to lower their nation’s energy needs with new types of smart streetlights.Our__42__industrialized world needs huge amounts of electrical energy,but our power plants still rely mostly on technology__43__as early as the19th century—coal—powered plants, hydroelectric dams or somewhat never nuclear energy,all of which have their own__44__.But scientists say we can slow down global warming by__45__energy demands for street lights.These__46__features of the world’s urban areas require a lot of electricity.The U.S.Energy Information Administration estimates that in2012,lighting for buildings, streets and highways in the ed about274billion kilowatt hours.In a bid to make Copenhagen the world’s first carbon-neutral city by2025,scientists in the Danish capital are testing a variety of new street lighting technologies.Kim Brostrom is the chief technical officer at the Danish Outdoor Lighting Lab.“We have installed nine kilometers of streets,we have280masts placed here,we have50 different__47__,we have10different management systems,and we have a lot of different sensors and things out in the open area,”said Brostrom.Chief science officer Jakob Andersen says the lights can be managed__48__from a tablet computer or a smart phone.The main goal is to lower energy__49__when the light is not needed.So the lamp brightens up only when it__50__an approaching pedestrian,cyclist or vehicle.Some of them even have a backup wind generator or a solar cell.2.Diet Coke,diet Pepsi,diet pills,on-fat diet,vegetable diet…We are__51__by the word “diet”everywhere we look and listen.We have so easily been attracted by the promise and__52__ of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us.We are paying for products that__53__us psychologically and physically(身体上).Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically.On one level,we are not allowing our brain to__54__that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight,but in controlling the__55__of fatty,high-calorie,unhealthy foods.Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale(秤)instead.All we have to do is to swallow or__56__ the word“diet”in food labels.On another level,diet products have greater psychological effects.Every time we have azero-calorie drink,we are telling ourselves without our__57__that we don’t have to work to get results.Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain,and that life can be without resistance a(n)__58__.The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us,but also in the physical harm that they cause.Diet foods can__59__harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having__60__ nutrients(营养成分).Diet foods and diet pills__61__zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products.Diet products may not be__62__,and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us,it is time to__63__think about buying them.Losing weight lies in the power of minds,not in the power of chemicals. __64__we realize this,we will be much better able to resist diet products,and__65__prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.51.

Anxiously watching several horsemen coming up,he let the first one pass by without any effort to get his attention,then another passed by,and another.Finally,the last rider drew near where the old man sat like a snow statue when old man caught his eyes and said,“Sir,would you mind giving an old man a ride to the other side?”Stopping his horse,the rider replied,“Sure!Jump aboard.”Seeing the old man unable to lift his half-frozen body from the ground,the horseman got down to help him.The horseman took him not just across the river,but to his destination just a few miles away.As they approached the tiny but cozy cottage,the horseman’s curiosity caused him to inquire,“Sir,I noticed you let several other riders pass by without making an effort to secure a ride.Then I came up and you immediately asked me for a ride.I am curious why,on such a bitter night,you would wait and ask the last rider.What if I had refused and left you here?”The old man looked the rider straight in the eyes and replied,“I reckon I know people pretty good.I looked into the eyes of the other riders and immediately found no concern for my situation. It would have been useless even to ask them for a ride.But when I looked into your eyes,your gentle spirit would welcome the opportunity to give me assistance in my time of need.”Those heart-warming comments touched the horseman deeply.“I’m so grateful for what you have said,”he told the old man.“May I never get too busy in my own affairs that I fail to respond to the needs of others with kindness and compassion.”With that,Thomas Jefferson turned his horse around and made his way back to the White House.66.Why didn’t the old man ask the previous riders for a ride?A.Because he was waiting for the last rider.B.Because his efforts failed to get their attention.C.Because he assumed they had no concern for him.D.Because he was too numb to lift his half-frozen body.67.What caused the last rider to stop and help the old man?A.The old man’s poor situation.B.The old man’s warm comments.C.His own affairs.D.Kindness and sympathy.68.What do you know about the old man?A.He judged people by looking into their eyes.B.He lived in a cozy cottage a few miles away.C.He gave the last rider an opportunity to help.D.He recognized the president at first.69.Which can be the best title of this text?A.Look into your eyes.passion of a great man.C.The last rider to help.D.Return to the White House.4.International Book ClubHave you ever thought of joining a book club and buying new books through the post?Here at the International Book Club,we already have many members buying books from us by mail.

only had a very small part of the land that originally belonged to them.How did this great injustice occur?After1812white settlers began to move west across North America.At first,the settlers and the Indians lived in peace.However,the number of settlers increased greatly every year,and slowly the Indians began to see the white settlers as a danger to their survival.To feed themselves,the settlers killed more and more wild animals.The Indians,who depended on these animals for food,had to struggle against starvation.The settlers also brought with them many diseases which were common in white society,but which were new for the Indians.Great numbers of Indians became sick and died.Between1843and1854the Indian population in one area of the country went down from100,000to30,000.More land was needed for the increasing number of white settlers.In Washington,the old respect for the rights of the Indians disappeared.The old promises to the Indians were broken;the government began to move groups of Indians from their original homelands to other poorer parts of the country.Some Indians reacted angrily and violently to this treatment.They began to attack white settlers,and the Indian war began.For30years,until the late1880s,different groups of Indians fought against the injustices of the white man.They had a few famous successes,but the result of the struggle was never in doubt.There were too many white soldiers,and they were too powerful.Many Indians were killed;the survivors were moved from their homelands to different area of the country.It was a terrible chapter in the history of a country that promised freedom and equality to everyone.74.It can be inferred from the passage that______.A.in the U.S.there were many laws that provided the rights of American IndiansB.the law which was passed in1789by the ernment was not successfully carried outC.in the19th century no injustices were done against the Indians by the ernmentD.the majority of white settlers were openly opposed to the law passed in178975.According to the passage which of the following is TRUE?A.The Indians believed that killing too many wild animals had disturbed the balance of nature.B.The government began to have a better understanding of the Indians in the fifties of the 19th century.C.Between1843and1854about70,000Indians were killed in the battle.D.The whites carried serious diseases into where the Indians lived.76.It is implied in the passage that______.A.the Indians had many great successes in the Indians warsB.the Indians had no doubt that they would win the warsC.after the war the Indians stayed where they were beforeD.the Indians were too weak to win the struggle77.What is the writer’s opinion about the treatment that the Indians received from the U.S. government?A.He believed that the government always respected the rights of the Indians.B.He believed that the government can’t be criticized for its treatment to the Indians.C.He believed that the government treated the Indians unjustly.D.He believed that the government’s unfair treatment against the Indians was not on purpose.6.The question of whether our government should promote science and technology or the liberal arts in higher education isn’t an either/or proposition(命题),although the current emphasis on preparing young Americans for STEM(science,technology,engineering,maths)-related fields can make it seem that way.The latest congressional report acknowledges the critical importance of technical training,but also asserts that the study of the humanities(人文学科)and social sciences must remain central components of America’s educational system at all levels.Both are critical to producing citizens who can participate effectively in our democratic society,become innovative(创新的)leaders,and benefit from the spiritual enrichment that the reflection on the great ideas of mankind over time provides.Parents and students who have invested heavily in higher education worry about graduates’job prospects as technological advances and changes in domestic and global markets transform professions in ways that reduce wages and cut jobs.Under these circumstances,it’s natural to look for what may appear to be the most“practical”way out of the problem“Major in a subject designed to get you a job”seems the obvious answer to some,though this ignores the fact that many disciplines in the humanities characterized as“soft”often,in fact,lead to employment and success in the long run.Indeed,according to surveys,employers have expressed a preference for students who have received a broadly-based education that has taught them to write well,think critically,research creatively,and communicate easily.Moreover,students should be prepared not just for their first job,but for their4th and5th jobs, as there’s little reason to doubt that people entering the workforce today will be called upon to play many different roles over the course of their careers.The ones who will do the best in this new environment will be those whose educations have prepared them to be flexible.The ability to draw upon every available tool and insight—picked up from science,arts,and technology—to solve the problems of the future,and take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves, will be helpful to them and the United States.(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)78.The latest congressional report suggests that________________________________.79.What is the main concern of students when they choose a major?80.What kind of job applicants do employers look for?81.What suggestions does the author give to college students?7.In order to study enzymes(酶),a small piece of potato is cut into very thin pieces.These thin pieces are placed in a little glass container and covered with water.Then a little of the proper chemical is added.Immediately,because of the enzyme present in the potato,the chemical starts joining with the oxygen in the air above the water.If the container is entirely closed,a partial vacuum(真空)is framed inside.If the container is now connected with a fine tube which is dipped in water,the water is sucked part way up the tube because of the vacuum.The scientists doing the experiment carefully notice how far up the tube is when water is sucked in a certain time.The higher it is sucked,the more of that particular enzyme and evenabout the way in which it operates.And all the time we are working with amounts far too small to see or weigh.1.What do the scientists want to find out in the experiment?a.Whether enzyme is present in the potato.b.What particular enzyme there is in the potato.c.How much enzyme there is in the potato.d.How enzyme works in the potato.A.a and bB.c

following correctly shows how the experiment is done?A.Put very thin pieces or potato in a vacuum container.B.Connect the glass container with a tube through which oxygen is sent in.C.Add some chemical to the water before thin pieces of potato are put in.D.Place thin pieces of potato in a glass container,cover them with water and then close it.4.The result of the study shows that______.A.the higher water is sucked,the less of enzyme in the potato isB.the more water is put into,the more of enzyme in the potato isC.the higher water is sucked,the more of enzyme in the potato isD.the lower water is sucked,the more of enzyme in the potato is上海复旦附中自主招生英语试题(3)1.FAJHB CDEIK2.BABDD ACCAB AADDA3.CDAB4.ABBC5.BDDC6.78.The humanities and STEM subjects should be given equal
