1、阅读理解AAccording to the US government, wind farms off the Pacific coast could produce 900 gig watts of electricity every year. Unfortunately, the water there is far too deep for even the tallest windmills (see picture) to touch bottom. An experiment under way off the coast of Norway, however, could he

2、lp put them anywhere.The project, called Hywind, is the worlds first large-scale deepwater wind turbine(涡轮发电机).Although it uses a fairly standard 152-ton,2.3-megawatt turbine, Hywind represents totally new technology. The turbine will be fixed 213 feet above the water on a floating spar(see picture)

3、,a technology Hywinds creator, the Norwegian company StatoilHydro, has developed recently. The steel spar, which is filled with stones and goes 328 feet below the sea surface, will be tied to the ocean floor by three cable(缆索)；these will keep the spar stable and prevent the turbine from moving up an

4、d down in the waves. Hywinds stability(稳定性)in the cold and rough sea would prove that even the deepest corners of the ocean are suitable for wind power. If all goes according to plan, the turbine will start producing electricity six miles off the coast of southwestern Norway as early as September.To

5、 produce electricity on a large scale, a commercial wind farm will have to use bigger turbines than Hywind does, but its difficult enough to balance such a large turbine so high on a floating spar in the middle of the ocean. To make that turbine heavier, the whole spars to design a new kind of wind

6、turbine, one whose gearbox(变速箱) sits at sea level rather than behind the blades (see picture )Hywind is a test run, but the benefits for perfecting floating wind-farm technology could be extremely large. Out at sea, the wind is often stronger and steadier than close to shore, where all existing offs

7、hore windmills are planted. Deep-sea farms are invisible from land, which helps overcome the windmill-as-eyesore objection. If the technology catches on, it will open up vast areas of the planets surface to one of the best low-carbon power sources available. ( ) 1. The Hywind project uses totally ne

8、w technology to ensure the stability of _.A. the cables which tie the spar to the ocean floorB. the spar which is floating in deep-sea waterC. the blades driven by strong and steady sea windD. the stones filled in the spar below the sea surface( ) 2. To balance a bigger turbine high on a flatting sp

9、ar, a new type of turbine is to be designed with its gearbox sitting _.A. on the sea floor B. on the spar topC. at sea level D. behind the blades( ) 3. Wide applications of deepwater wind power technology can _.A. solve the technical problems of deepwater windmillsB. make financial profits by produc

10、ing more turbinesC. settle the arguments about environmental problemsD. explore low-carbon power resources available at seaA篇第三篇是一篇科普类说明文，介绍了风力涡轮发电，这基本切中了当下最受关注的话题新能源和可持续。体现了时代的潮流，跟B篇谋篇一致，话题新颖信息量足，题目并不难。63.细节题。 根据题干定位到原文第二段倒数第二句。从”Hywinds stability in the cold and rough sea would prove that even the

11、 deepest corners of the ocean are suitable for wind power”得出答案B为正确。64.细节题。 根据题干定位到原文第三段最后，得出答案C是正确的。65.推断题。根据文章最后一句，可以推断出这种项目的成功运行将会促进低碳能源的发展，从而得出D选项是正确的。BShay asked, “Do you think theyll let me play?” Shays father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the fa

12、ther also understood that if his son, mentally and physically disabled, were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence.Shays father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play, not expecting much.

13、“Were losing by six runs (分) and the game is in the eighth inning (局).I guess he can be on our team and well try to put him in to bat in the final inning.Shay struggled over to the teams bench and put on a team shirt with a broad smile and his father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in heart.

14、The boys saw the fathers joy at his son being accepted.In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shays team scored a few runs but was still behind by three.

15、the game and on the field. In the bottom of the final inning, Shays team scored again. Now, Shay was scheduled to be next at bat. Would they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible. The first pitch (

16、投) came and Shay missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to throw the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.The pitcher could have easily thrown he ball to the first baseman and Shay would have been out

17、and that would have been the end of the game .Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman, beyond the reach of all teammates, The audience and the players from both teams started screaming, “Shay, run to first!” Never in his life had Shay ever run that far but made i

18、t to first base, wide-eyed and shocked.Everyone should, “Run to second!” Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second.

27、定位到文章第一段，but处出题，最后一句”it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence”得出答案D为正确选项。67.细节题。答案在原文第五段surprisingly处，显示了一种转折。在上一段讲了Shay的团队赢分了，在上文even though点出尽管他没有一个球是他进的，但他仍然感到很喜悦。在第五段文章说他被伙伴们同意进入了最后一局。可见答案B是正确的，所有人都希望能够帮助他成功。68. 细节题。根据题干将关键词定位到第七段”the smallest guy on their team”，这是个长难句，who引导了一个非限制性定语从句，他本可以成为比赛最后的hero,可but 点出了转折，他明白pitcher的意图并且帮助了Shay的成功。可见答案A正确。69.推断题。题干问下面哪一项是和Shay的成功无关的。文章第八段最后说众人喊道: “Shay, run home”,当他run home之后，我们看到结果是他成功了，他成为了Hero，可见没有任何人在这个时候阻止了他。可见C选项是与他的成功无关的，为正确选项。70. 主旨大意题。文章处处渗透了球队人与人之间的相互尊重，因此A选项包容性最大， B,C,D都是很片面的。 6
