1 Many countries have been developing new energy to handle greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, while buzzwords such as clean energy, green energy and renewable energy receive much publicity. New energy is a concept that is contrary to traditional fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas and coal. In addition to renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and biomass power, new energy sources also include nuclear power. As a non-renewable energy source, nuclear energy almost produces no pollution. But it consumes uranium (铀) fuel and produces nuclear waste. The development of nuclear energy also requires big investment. Yet it is a good alternative to fossil fuels as the world is striving to curb carbon dioxide emissions. Clean energy, or green energy, refers to those energy sources that cause no pollution. As nuclear energy almost produces no pollution, some experts also classify it as a kind of clean energy source. A similar concept is renewable energy, which is generated from renewable natural resources such as water, sunlight, wind, methane gas, geothermal heat and tidal waves. As renewable energy is naturally replenished, many countries prioritize (优先) the development of this category. However, renewable energy relies much on natural conditions and requires heavy investment and high maintenance cost. Its energy efficiency is also relatively low. Currently, many scientists are searching ways to boost the efficiency of renewable energy to improve the energy mix in a world where the problem of natural resource shortage is becoming large.
1. In order to make our environment clean, we should use ______ as our energy sources.
2 Humans have been damaging the environment ever since we realized our powers to harness nature. Global warming and air pollution are now frequent headlines on TV and in the newspapers all over the world which keep reminding us of our obligation to protect the environment. However, few actions are actually being taken at the individual level and I think there are two major reasons why people are being so indifferent. The first reason is that many people consider the environmental problem as a future concern. Environmental reports often warn us of the dire consequences of climate change or energy crisis 100 or 200 years later. As a result, many people feel that money and time is better spent on solving more immediate problems such as housing shortage and traffic congestion than on preventing a disaster that is only predicted to happen in the future. Also, people feel that the environmental problems are too complex for individual people to cope with. Indeed, a combination of factors causes environmental problems, many of which are impossible to be controlled through individual actions. The above attitudes are understandable but are obviously mistaken, so the government needs to take proactive measures to make people more environmentally responsible. They can make more public service advertisements to encourage people to consume more green products instead of disposable goods that are harmful to the environment. They can also offer more incentives to people who have been active in cleaning up the neighborhood or severely punish those who have been unfriendly to the environment. There is always a dilemma between environment and development, but as an individual we can do something to reduce the negative impact of human activities on the environment. Certainly we do not want to see the Earth turn into an uninhabitable planet.
1. The passage is mainly about ______.
A.the damaged environment
B.the causes of environmental problems
C.global warming and air pollution
D.encouraging people to protect the environment
A B C D
D
[解析] 整篇文章分析了人们不重视环境保护的原因和政府该如何鼓励人们保护环境。
2. Why do many people consider the environmental problem as a future concern?
A.Because people just care about housing shortage and traffic congestion.
B.Because people are not afraid of disasters.
C.Because people feel that the environmental problems are too complex.
D.Because people think environmental problems are not serious.
A B C D
C
[解析] 第二段提到“Also, people feel that the environmental problems are too complex for individual people to cope with”。
3. What should the government do to encourage people to protect the environment?
A.The government can make more public service advertisements to encourage people to consume more green products.
B.The government should force people to do so.
C.The government should spend more money making public service advertisements.
D.The government should do nothing but wait.
A B C D
A
[解析] 政府该怎么鼓励人们保护环境,作者提到“They can make more public service advertisements to encourage people to consume more green products instead of disposable goods that are harmful to the environment”。
4. What does "incentives" mean in Paragraph 3?
A.Award.
B.Payment.
C.Punishment.
D.Encouragement.
A B C D
D
[解析] 政府要给保护环境的人们一些奖励作为鼓励,因此答案选D。
5. What should we learn from the passage?
A.We should be active in cleaning up the neighborhood.
B.The dire consequences of climate change or energy crisis 150 or 200 years later.
C.We should try to do something to reduce the negative impact of human activities on the environment.
D.Development is more important than environment.
A B C D

[解析] 作为个人,我们要怎么做,作者表示“but as an individual we can do something to reduce the negative impact of human activities on the environment”。

5 I love traveling by train. Fast expresses, slow local trains which stop at every station, suburban trains taking businessmen to their offices and home again; I enjoy them all. It must be the element of romance that attracts me. There' s no romance in a car on a motor way - a box of metal and rubber(橡胶) on a strip of concrete - or in flying through the air in a pressurized tube from one identical plastic and glass airport to another. But trains are different. You can walk around, look at the scenery, observe your fellow passengers. In a plane all you can see are the clouds and the backs of other people' s heads. And then there are the stations. Yes, traveling by train is still an adventure, even in England, as you try to interpret the timetable, persuade the booking office clerk to sell you a ticket and understand the incomprehensible messages coming over the loudspeaker system. Then there' s that delightful uncertainty as you wonder whether you are on the right train, or the right part of the train.
1. What kinds of trains does the author mention here? They are fast expresses, local trains and______.
suburban trains
2. Why is the author so fond of trains? It is because of its______.
element of romance
3. What can the author do in a train? Walk around, look at the scenery and______.
observe others
4. Why does the author dislike traveling by air? Because it is______.
not romantic
5. Are there any troubles in taking a train? Yes,______.
there are some

A B C D
C
[解析] 本句为简单句,难点在于两个修饰individuals的定语,willing...和devoted...的主语都是individuals,意为这些人都“很愿意去做……”和“愿意献身于……”。由此可知,正确答案为选项C。选项B没有保留主语(We)和宾语(individuals)之间的主宾关系;选项D将high performance和organization切分,处理没有理解好our high performance和organization之间的关系。
4. The police forced their way into the room,only to find the safe empty.
A.刚刚发现保险箱是空的,警察就进入了房间。
B.为了找到那只空保险箱,警察强行进入了房间。

5. The magazine was ordered to compensate for the losses of the novelist for running his stories as serials without his permission.
A.这家杂志被要求赔偿其因未经这位小说家的授权而连载其小说给其带来的损失。
B.这家杂志被要求赔偿给这位小说家带来的损失,因其未经他同意而连载他的作品。
C.这家杂志被命令补偿这位小说家的损失,因为跑了他的故事成系列,没有得到他的允许。
D.这家杂志被命令赔偿损失,这个著名的小说家跑了他的故事,没有得到允许。
A B C D
A
[解析] 本题的题解关键在于对句子结构的分析及对重点短语的理解。本句主语是The magazine,谓语为was ordered,to compensate for the losses of the novelist为宾语,for... permission作原因状语。compensate for the losses of the novelist译为“赔偿给小说家带来的损失”;running his stories as serials译为“连载其故事”;without his permission译为“未经其授权”。B选项翻译基本正确,但不如A选项地道;C和D选项将order译为“命令”太过生硬,而且误译了短语running his stories as serials。
