Underlying all this (47) will be the demand for energy, which is expected to double over the next 40 years.Finding the resources to meet this demand in a (48), sustainable way is the cornerstone of our nation’s energy security, and will be one of the major (49) of the 21st century. Alternative forms of energy –bio-fuels, wind and solar, to name a few –are (50) being funded and developed, and will play a growing (51) in the world’s energy supply. But experts say that even when (52), alternative energy sources will likely meet only about 30% of the world’s needs by 2050.For example, even with (53) investments, such as $93 million for wind energy development (54) in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, important alternative energy sources such as wind and bio-fuels (55) only about 1% of the market today.Energy and sustainability experts say the answer to our future energy needs will likely come from a lot of (56) – both traditional and alternative.A. stable I.

Section A 201106Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.The popular notion that older people need less sleep than younger adults is a myth, scientists said yesterday. While elderly people ----47----- to sleep for fewer hours than they did when , this has a(n) ---48----- effect on their brain's performance and they would benefit from getting more, according to research. Sean Drummond, a psychiatrist (心理医生) at the University of California, San Diego, said that older people are more likely to suffer from broken sleep, while younger people are better at sleeping ------49----- straight through the night.More sleep in old age, however, is ----50------ with better health, and most older people would feel better and more ------51------ if they slept for longer periods, he said."The ability to sleep in one chunk (整块时间) overnight goes down as we age but the amount of sleep we need to ------52----- well does not change," Dr Drummond told the American Association for the Advancement of Science conference in San Diego."It's ------53----- a myth that older people need less sleep.

Our data suggests that older adults would benefit from ------55------ to get as much sleep as they did in their 30s. That's -56- from person to person, but the amount of sleep we had at 35 is probably the same amount we need at 75."A) alert B) associated C) attracting D) cling E) continuing F) definitely G) different H) efficiently I) formally J) function K) mixed L) negative M) sufficient N) tend O) younger【参考答案】47 N tend 48 L negative 49 H efficiently 50 B associated 51 A alert52 J function 53 F definitely 54 O younger 55 E continuing 56 G different201006When we think of green buildings, we tend to think of new ones – the kind of high-tech, solar-paneled masterpieces that make the covers of architecture magazines. But the U.S. has more than 100 million existing homes, and it would be __47__ wasteful to tear them all down and __48__ them with greener versions. An enormous amount of energy and resources went into the construction of those houses. And it would take an average of 65 years for the __49__ carbon emissions from a new energy-efficient home to make up for the resources lost by destroying an old one. So in the broadest __50__, the greenest home is the one that has already been built. But at the same time, nearly half of U. S. carbon emissions come from heating, cooling and __51__ our homes, offices and other buildings. "You can't deal with climate change without dealing with existing buildings," says Richard Moe, the president of the National Trust.With some __52__, the oldest homes tend to be the least energy-efficient. Houses built before 1939 use about 50% more energy per square foot than those built after 2000, mainly due to the tiny cracks and gaps that __53__ over time and let inmore outside air.Fortunately, there are a __54__ number of relatively simple changes that can green older homes, from __55__ ones like Lincoln's Cottage to your own postwar home. And efficiency upgrades (升级) can save more than just the earth; they can help __56__ property owners from rising power costs.注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。
英语四级十五选十技巧英语四级十五选十技巧做十五选十时注意文章的首句,把握大意,第一句话可谓是题目的核心,抓住并提取主要信息点是我们做题时的首要任务。
下面是店铺整理的英语四级十五选十技巧,欢迎阅读,仅供大家参考。
题型分析篇章词汇理解是大学英语四级考试中出现的一种新题型.这种题是在一篇长度为220个单词的文章中留出10个单词的空格,要求考生从15个备选单词中选出10个填入空格处,使文章语句通畅,表达正确.测试重点:考生对连贯性一致性及逻辑关系等语篇语段的整体特征以及单词在实际语境中的理解.既考查宏观结构,又考查微观理解.15个单词中3个名词正确答案+1个名词干扰答案、3个动词正确答案+1个动词干扰答案、3个形容词正确答案+2个形容词干扰答案、1个副词正确答案+1个副词干扰答案。
解题步骤1、通读全文,抓住中心(首段、首句原则);2、阅读选项,词性分类(注意分析动词时态);3、全盘考虑,灵活选择(根据所需词性缩小范围,每词只能用一次);4、复读全文,核查答案(快速复读,用语感判断是否通顺准确)。
英语四级十五选十技巧1、辨析词性1)遇到动词要进行二次分类:确定时态,确定是第三人称单数还是非第三人称单数;但应注意动词+ed型的有两种可能性,动词或形容词。
遇到名词要确定单数还是复数。
2)不认识的单词,看后缀。
构词法中,前缀表明意思,后缀表明词性。
3)词性一时无法确定的,暂时搁置,不必纠缠,影响全局。
4)作出相应的标记。
可直接用自己最清楚的符号清楚标在每个词前后。
不清楚的.都标问号。
2、确定选项的选择范围1)关于动词的判断前后都是名词短语,中间是动词。
根据一句(包括从句)有且只有一个谓语动词的原则,其它地方如无谓语动词,则需要谓语动词;反之则不需要谓语动词。
2)其它词的判断形容词或名词修饰名词,限定词(the,this,that,a,my之类)后必有名词。
副词修饰形容词或动词谓语动词前有名词主语介词后面必有名词3、句里句外,猜测词义1)看搭配主谓宾、主系表,与修饰词直接的搭配关系决定着词的意义,所以先看它被谁修饰,与谁形成什么关系。

(完整word版)大学英语3十五选十unit1When I think of people in this world who have really made a difference, I think of my parents. They were truly saints among ordinary people.I was one of the ten children my parents adopted. They rescued(挽救)each of us from a life of poverty(贫穷)and loneliness(孤独). They were hardly able to restrain (克制)themselves from bringing home more children to care for. If they had had the resources(资源)they certainly would have.Most people do not realize how much they appreciated (感激)someone until they pass away(大多数人都不知道他们有多么感激一个人,直到那个人去世). My sisters and brothers and I did not want this to happen before we uttered(说)the words "Thank you" to our parents(我的妹妹和弟弟和我都不想在我们对父母说谢谢你之前让这件事发生).Although we have all grown up and scattered(散落)about the country, we got back together to thank our parents. My brother Tom undertook(从事,承担)the task of organizing the event. Every Friday night, Mom and Dad have had the ham dinner special at the same restaurant for the last twenty years. That is where we waited without their knowing. When we first caught a glimpse(瞥一眼)of them coming across the street, we all hid underneath(在…之下)a big table. When they entered, we leapt(跳出来)out and shouted, "Thank you, Mom and Dad." My brother Tom presented (提供)them with a card(办法,手段,妙计)and we all hugged(拥抱). My Dad pretended (假装)that he had known we were under the table all along.unit2Women who exercise regularly need to be careful with what they eat. Researchers have found evidence(证据,迹象)that even moderate(适度的)exercise can result in losing iron. They said that women who exercise regularly, especially in endurance(耐久)activities, typically lose iron. In order to prevent this from becoming a problem(为了防止这成为问题), it is important that those women consume more meat(吃肉)or take supplements(补充)to replace(取代)the iron lost. Those who do not bother to get plentiful amounts of iron(嫌麻烦不愿意获得大量铁的人)may begin to feel weak and tired. "If you can get the recommended daily allowance(按定量供给)of iron in your diet(如果你能每天服用推荐铁的含量), you will probably perform better," said one diet specialist. "One shortcoming(缺点)of taking iron pills is that the pill form is not well absorbed(专心致志,全神贯注)and can sometimes make you sick. It is preferable(可取的)that you try to remedy(治疗)the deficiency(缺点)by getting more iron-rich meats(红肉)in your diet."There are ways to help your body store(储存)away(一直在做…)the iron it takes in. By getting plenty of Vitamin C, your body is able to process(处理), or use, the iron better. Researchers acknowledge(承认,声明)that everyone's body is different and the problem will be less serious for some. Because it is impossible to decide whether or not this could be a problem for you, health specialists say(健康专家说)it is advisable(明智的)to check your iron levels. Even when you can't feel it, you may still have a problem.unit3While many private schools are focusing more on values(重视), public schools are moving toward testing standards. The national government demands(需要)academic (学术上的)success and tests are taken as a key measurement(量度;份量,尺寸;)for a school's performance(表现). Schools with low test scores face penalties(惩罚)such as a reduction(减少)in money to run(经营)their schools. And, even individual teachers are being graded on(分级)how they're preparing their students for these(完整word版)大学英语3十五选十tests."We have concentrated(集中的,全神贯注的)too much on teaching the kids how to take these tests," commented(评论)one elementary school teacher(初中老师). "We should be providing a more comprehensive(综合的,全面的)curriculum(课程)to these kids. We should be cultivating(改善,培养)leadership and curiosity(领导能力和好奇心). Unfortunately, there is never time."One school principal remarked(重要的评论), "It's true that it would be beneficial (有益的)to our kids if they were getting better scores on the subjects being tested. The trouble is that in poorer areas of the city like ours, kids start school less equipped (被装备)to perform(工作)well. We have many obstacles(障碍)to overcome(战胜,压倒)before we can teach them basic subjects. All schools are not alike(同样地), so they shouldn't be tested that way.""The goal is to improve performance in schools that are not providing(提供)their students with tools for success," said one government official. He admits(承认), however, that he is having a hard time convincing faculty(说服全体教职员工)and teachers this plan will work.Unit4unit5As a surgeon(外科医生,军医), I have seen a lot of deaths. I am rarely astonished (很少惊讶)by anything. The other day, however, one humorous and slightly odd story(轻微奇怪的故事) I heard touched me. A doctor told me that a very old woman he was treating was lying motionless(静止不动的)on her pillow face down. He thought she was dead, but when he approached(靠近), he noticed she was breathing. Her hospital gown(病服)exposed(暴露出)her back bare(赤裸的后背), so he put a cover over her. Just then she sat up slowly(慢慢的做起来), startling(令人吃惊的)the doctor. She seemed quite alive."I thought you were nearly gone," the doctor said. "Your breathing was so shallow (微弱的)and you seemed lifeless(毫无生气的).""Never mind that, doctor, I've been waiting for you," the old woman said quite confidently, as if she were his mother. She had been a good mother to four, but she(完整word版)大学英语3十五选十had survived(幸存,比…活的更长)them all. She gracefully handed the doctor a jar(罐子)of strawberry jam. "Take the lid off(拿掉盖子)and try some," she said. He sampled (品尝)a little and told her it was delicious."Good," she said, handing him a piece of paper with writing. "This is how to make it." He understood what a(n) privilege(特权,权益)she had given him and took it with thanks and then left. The old woman lay back down and died soon after his departure (离开).unit6Do you know February 2nd is Groundhog's Day (土拨鼠日)? Legend has it that on this morning(传说在这天早上), if a groundhog can see its shadow(影子), 如果一个土拨鼠能看见自己的影子,there will be six more weeks of winter(就会有多于六周的冬季). If it cannot see its shadow, spring is on the way(如果不能看见,春天就快来了). Some believe that the means of forecast is rather arbitrary(主观的,随意的)and is often incorrect(有些人认为这个预言是乱说的,通常是错误的). Others argue that it is significant (有重大意义的)because it recognizes that the different parts of nature are connected in some way(一些人争论那是有重大意义的,因为那是一种识别大自然的不同部分间是有联系的一种方式). Each part is dependent(依赖于)on the rest of the parts for a healthy system(对于一个健康的系统来说,每一部分又依赖于剩下的那一部分). Some farmers pay close attention to the behavior of ducks and geese when predicting(预测)the weather (一些农民在预测天气的时候会密切注意鸭子和鹅的行为). It is sensible(合理的)to guess an early winter is coming when you see ducks and geese moving south in October(如果你看到鸭子和鹅在十月份迁移到南方,那么你猜测冬天快要来了是合理的). Many dog owners can tell when winter or spring will come by stroking(轻抚)their pet(狗的主人通过轻抚他们的宠物能够知道冬天或春天将要来临). In preparation for winter, a dog's hair becomes thicker(狗的毛会变密). Dogs lose hair as spring sets in(狗在春天脱毛).Information gathered from nature can help people to take precautions(预防)against a hard winter or bad storm(从大自然采集信息能够帮助人们预防对抗一个寒冷的冬天和一场恶劣的风暴). Some animals are even believed to be able to detect(洞察)when an earthquake will occur(一些动物甚至被人们相信能够察觉地震将要发生). People holding this belief even go further(更进一步)to say that information gathered by computers is often worthless and nature is far more accurate(准确的)(人们坚持相信甚至更进一步说,通过电脑采集的信息是没有价值的,通过自然才是更准确的): Isn't it time we started paying attention to what is around us?。

Yes, I know, this is easier said than done. The fear may cause you to feel that you will lose control or make a fool of yourself when you are in the spotlight (聚光灯). But if you begin to build a new response, in 9) to your fears, you will gradually build up a stronger and more positive response. Remember, don't let self-consciousness 10) you!

Negativity and 9) about bad things may be easy, but it is looking at the bright side that makes for the challenging part of a job. As Francesca Reigler puts it, "Happiness is an attitude.

So, instead of getting it, they use the poorest excuse to explain the situation away.On many occasions, people tend to 4) J.bypass every minute obstacle, making the objective impossible to attain.

十五选十答题技巧十五选十是改革后的四级考试中新出现的题型,比以往要求更高,难度更大,主要考查考生的词汇基础和掌握语法的熟练程度。
所以,考生做这一类题前需熟练的掌握四级常考单词的基本意思和微观理解,对文章的连贯性、一致性、逻辑联系要能准确地把握和理解。
由于十五选十在四级中所占分数比例偏小,建议在考试中会出现时间吃紧以及该题正确率不高的考生将此题挪到最后完成,降低失分率。
一、十五选十答题大致顺序:1. 阅读选项,把选项中的单词作大致的分类,如名词、动词、形容词、副词、介词、连词等等2. 通读全文,确定空中所缺词的性质,缩小选项范围3. 前后结合,寻找线索,选出最佳答案4. 查漏补缺,核实答案二、寻找与答题相关线索的几点建议:1. 寻找同义转述。
即注意前后文内容或特定词汇的同义转述2. 判断空格处与上下文的逻辑关系。
这类词有:(1)表示顺承:and,also,first,second,third(2)表示转折:but,on the contrary,otherwise,yet(3)表示因果:consequently,thus,therefore,as a result,so(4)表示比较:similarly,equally,like,in the same way(5)表示递进:furthmore,moreover,in addition(6)表示总结:in conclusion,finally,in short,in summary,to sum up,in a word,my point is that,that is to say,briefly speaking3. 识别固定搭配。
三、题型分析1. 名词在句中通常作主语或宾语,如果空格处位于主语或宾语的位置,就应该用名词,然后再判断名词的单复数。
名词前面最常见的是冠词或形容词,可以作为判断的标志。
2. 动词通常作谓语或伴随状语。
如果空格处所在句子缺少谓语,就应该用动词,然后通过语境确定动词的具体形式。

unit1When I think of people in this world who have really made a difference, I think of my parents. They were truly saints among ordinary people.I was one of the ten children my parents adopted. They rescued(挽救)each of us from a life of poverty(贫穷) and loneliness(孤独). They were hardly able to restrain(克制)themselves from bringing home more children to care for. If they had had the resources(资源)they certainly would have.Most people do not realize how much they appreciated (感激) someone until they pass away(大多数人都不知道他们有多么感激一个人,直到那个人去世). My sisters and brothers and I did not want this to happen before we uttered(说)the words "Thank you" to our parents(我的妹妹和弟弟和我都不想在我们对父母说谢谢你之前让这件事发生).Although we have all grown up and scattered(散落) about the country, we got back together to thank our parents. My brother Tom undertook(从事,承担)the task of organizing the event. Every Friday night, Mom and Dad have had the ham dinner special at the same restaurant for the last twenty years. That is where we waited without their knowing. When we first caught a glimpse(瞥一眼) of them coming across the street, we all hid underneath(在…之下) a big table. When they entered, we leapt(跳出来) out and shouted, "Thank you, Mom and Dad." My brother Tom presented (提供)them with a card(办法,手段,妙计)and we all hugged(拥抱). My Dad pretended(假装) that he had known we were under the table all along.unit2Women who exercise regularly need to be careful with what they eat. Researchers have found evidence(证据,迹象) that even moderate(适度的) exercise can result in losing iron. They said that women who exercise regularly, especially in endurance(耐久) activities, typically lose iron. In order to prevent this from becoming a problem(为了防止这成为问题), it is important that those women consume more meat(吃肉) or take supplements(补充)to replace (取代) the iron lost. Those who do not bother to get plentiful amounts of iron (嫌麻烦不愿意获得大量铁的人) may begin to feel weak and tired. "If you can get the recommended daily allowance(按定量供给)of iron in your diet(如果你能每天服用推荐铁的含量), you will probably perform better," said one diet specialist. "One shortcoming(缺点) of taking iron pills is that the pill form is not well absorbed(专心致志,全神贯注) and can sometimes make you sick. It is preferable(可取的) that you try to remedy(治疗) the deficiency(缺点)by getting more iron-rich meats(红肉) in your diet."There are ways to help your body store(储存)away(一直在做…) the iron it takes in. By getting plenty of Vitamin C, your body is able to process(处理), or use, the iron better. Researchers acknowledge(承认,声明)that everyone's body is different and the problem will be less serious for some. Because it is impossible to decide whether or not this could be a problem for you, health specialists say(健康专家说) it is advisable(明智的) to check your iron levels. Even when you can't feel it, you may still have a problem. unit3While many private schools are focusing more on values(重视), public schools are moving toward testing standards. The national government demands(需要)academic(学术上的) success and tests are taken as a key measurement(量度;份量,尺寸;) for a school's performance(表现). Schools with low test scores face penalties(惩罚) such as a reduction(减少) in money to run(经营)their schools. And, even individual teachers are being graded on(分级) how they're preparing their students for these tests."We have concentrated(集中的,全神贯注的) too much on teaching the kids how to take these tests," commented(评论)one elementary school teacher(初中老师). "We should be providing a more comprehensive(综合的,全面的)curriculum (课程) to these kids. We should be cultivating(改善,培养)leadership and curiosity(领导能力和好奇心). Unfortunately, there is never time."One school principal remarked(重要的评论), "It's true that it would be beneficial(有益的) to our kids if they were getting better scores on the subjects being tested. The trouble is that in poorer areas of the city like ours, kids start school less equipped(被装备) to perform(工作) well. We have many obstacles(障碍)to overcome(战胜,压倒) before we can teach them basic subjects. All schools are not alike(同样地) , so they shouldn't be tested that way.""The goal is to improve performance in schools that are not providing(提供) their students with tools for success," said one government official. He admits(承认), however, that he is having a hard time convincing faculty(说服全体教职员工) and teachers this plan will work.unit5As a surgeon(外科医生,军医), I have seen a lot of deaths. I am rarely astonished(很少惊讶) by anything. The other day, however, one humorous and slightly odd story(轻微奇怪的故事) I heard touched me. A doctor told me that a very old woman he was treating was lying motionless(静止不动的)on her pillow face down. He thought she was dead, but when he approached(靠近), he noticed she was breathing. Her hospital gown(病服)exposed(暴露出)her back bare (赤裸的后背), so he put a cover over her. Just then she sat up slowly(慢慢的做起来), startling(令人吃惊的) the doctor. She seemed quite alive."I thought you were nearly gone," the doctor said. "Your breathing was so shallow(微弱的) and you seemed lifeless(毫无生气的).""Never mind that, doctor, I've been waiting for you," the old woman said quite confidently, as if she were his mother. She had been a good mother to four, but she had survived(幸存,比…活的更长) them all. She gracefully handed the doctor a jar(罐子) of strawberry jam. "Take the lid off(拿掉盖子) and try some," she said. He sampled(品尝) a little and told her it was delicious."Good," she said, handing him a piece of paper with writing. "This is how to make it." He understood what a(n) privilege(特权,权益) she had given him and took it with thanks and then left. The old woman lay back down and died soon after his departure(离开).unit6Do you know February 2nd is Groundhog's Day (土拨鼠日)? Legend has it that on this morning(传说在这天早上), if a groundhog can see its shadow(影子), 如果一个土拨鼠能看见自己的影子,there will be six more weeks of winter(就会有多于六周的冬季). If it cannot see its shadow, spring is on the way(如果不能看见,春天就快来了). Some believe that the means of forecast is rather arbitrary(主观的,随意的) and is often incorrect(有些人认为这个预言是乱说的,通常是错误的). Others argue that it is significant(有重大意义的)because it recognizes that the different parts of nature are connected in some way(一些人争论那是有重大意义的,因为那是一种识别大自然的不同部分间是有联系的一种方式). Each part is dependent(依赖于)on the rest of the parts for a healthy system(对于一个健康的系统来说,每一部分又依赖于剩下的那一部分). Some farmers pay close attention to the behavior of ducks and geese when predicting(预测)the weather(一些农民在预测天气的时候会密切注意鸭子和鹅的行为). It is sensible (合理的) to guess an early winter is coming when you see ducks and geese moving south in October(如果你看到鸭子和鹅在十月份迁移到南方,那么你猜测冬天快要来了是合理的). Many dog owners can tell when winter or spring will come by stroking (轻抚) their pet(狗的主人通过轻抚他们的宠物能够知道冬天或春天将要来临). In preparation for winter, a dog's hair becomes thicker(狗的毛会变密). Dogs lose hair as spring sets in(狗在春天脱毛).Information gathered from nature can help people to take precautions(预防)against a hard winter or bad storm(从大自然采集信息能够帮助人们预防对抗一个寒冷的冬天和一场恶劣的风暴). Some animals are even believed to be able to detect(洞察) when an earthquake will occur(一些动物甚至被人们相信能够察觉地震将要发生). People holding this belief even go further(更进一步) to say that information gathered by computers is often worthless and nature is far more accurate(准确的)(人们坚持相信甚至更进一步说,通过电脑采集的信息是没有价值的,通过自然才是更准确的): Isn't it time we started paying attention to what is around us?。
