【題目】A visit to NASA Langley Research Center would be very exciting. You could meet NASA scientists and engineers working with wind tunnels.

Wind tunnels are basically tubes through which air—or a gas—is moved to make “wind” in the tube. This “wind” moves past objects such as airplanes or just parts from airplanes.

It s always a good idea to test a new aircraft design in a wind tunnel before you build the real aircraft. Models tested in wind tunnels will always go through design changes before engineers are satisfied with its design and test results.

Wind tunnels are constructed with some very wide sections as well as some sections much smaller in size. An “open return wind tunnel”is open at both ends of the tube. It is usually largest at one end of the tube where you may even see the fan blade(風(fēng)扇片)that creates the wind. This tube gets smaller as you move away from the fan blade. The tube begins to straighten in the next part of the wind tunnel called the Test Section. This is where you place the model for testing. The tube widens again as you move away from the Test Section.

Another wind tunnel is the “closed return” design. This tunnel is completely contained inside a building. The tunnel moves in a “l(fā)oop” inside the building. A fan is located in the tunnel on one side of the building and the test model is located in the tunnel's Test Section on the other side of the building.

NASCAR race teams even test their race cars in wind tunnels to test and improve a car's design. These teams work hard to reduce a car's drag. In less than 150 years, wind tunnels have allowed mankind to improve cars on the ground, aircraft in the atmosphere, and spacecrafts in space. We can only imagine what will happen with wind tunnels during the next hundred years.

【1】What could be the best title of the passage?

A．What Are Wind Tunnels Made of?

B．What Is a Wind Tunnel and How It Works?

C．Where Can Wind Tunnels Be Found?

D．Why Are Wind Tunnels Used?

【2】Which of the following is the right shape of an “open return wind tunnel”？

【3】In the “close return” wind tunnel, the fan is fixed________.

A．in the Test Section on the other side of the building

B．next to the models in the building

C．a(chǎn)t one end of the opening

D．on the other side of the Test Section

【4】By reducing a race car's drag, ________.

A．the car will becomes lighter

B．the car will be easy to operate

C．the car will move faster

D．the car will look more beautiful

【答案】【1】B

【2】D

【3】D

【4】C

【解析】【1】文章的第二段講述的是wind tunnel的定義，后面的段落講的是wind tunnel的定義，后面的段落講的是wind tunnel的工作原理，因此用B作標(biāo)題既說明了wind tunnel是什么，又說明了它是如何工作的。

【2】根據(jù)第四段第三句中的“It is usually largest at one end of the tube.”判斷排除A、C兩項(xiàng)，根據(jù)“The tube widens again as you move away from the Test Section.”排除D。

【3】第五段最后一句給出了答案。根據(jù)“A fan—one side of the building和Test Section—on the other side of the building.”判斷，風(fēng)扇和測(cè)試區(qū)分別在大樓的兩邊。

【4】由于是賽車，跑得最快的就會(huì)獲得冠軍。因此根據(jù)常識(shí)推測(cè)，減少了賽車的阻力，賽車自然就“跑得快了”。

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

(2011年湖北)In today's throwaway society，dealing with the city's growing mountain of waste is an increasing challenge for the city council(市議會(huì))．

Recently，Edinburgh is faced with the problem of disposing of(處理) about 250,000 million tons of waste a year. Despite different ways to dispose of much of it in a green manner－largely through encouraging recycling－its aging facilities such as the Powderhall landfill do not have the ability to deal with it.

The European Union (EU) has issued a new policy，regulating how such mountains of waste are to be disposed of. The five councils (Edinburgh，East Lothian，West Lothian，Midlothian and Borders) face fines around ￡18 million a year from 2013 if they don't increase recycling levels and rely less on landfill. With this in mind，the councils got together with the idea of building a large incinerator plant(垃圾焚燒廠) to burn half of the waste produced in their districts. But this plan fell apart after the change of target levels by a new UK government waste policy which required that no more than 25% of the city's waste should be disposed of in this way by 2025.

After the plan was abandoned，a private company which already transported millions of tons of the city's waste by train to a landfill site near Dunbar，offered an alternative solution when it suggested opening a huge waste site near Portobello.

Since Powderhall is supposed to close in 2015，it seemed necessary for the members of the Edinburgh Council to accept the suggestion. But soon they turned/span> it down－after 700 local objections reached them－because it would have meant hundreds of lorries a day making loud noise through heavily populated areas.

That still leaves the council with a problem. By 2013，only 50% of 1995 levels of waste will be allowed to be sent to landfill. Even if recycling targets are met，there will still be a large amount of rubbish to be burnt up. Due to this，Edinburgh and Midlothian councils have now decided to work together to build an incinerator plant as time to find a solution is fast running out.

【1】The main way of handling waste in a green manner in Edinburgh is ________.

A．recycling

B．restoring

C．burying

D．burning

【2】The five councils worked out a plan to build an incinerator plant to ________.

A．reduce the cost of burying waste

B．meet the EU requirements

C．speed up waste recycling

D．replace landfill sites

【3】The city council of Edinburgh rejected the suggestion to open a huge landfill site near Portobello because ________.

A．it came from a private company

B．the council was not interested in it

C．it was not supported by EU

D．the local people were against it

【4】What is the final decision of Edinburgh and Midlothian councils?

A．To open a new landfill nearby.

B．To close the Powderhall landfill in 2015.

C．To set up a plant for burning waste.

D．To persuade people to reduce their waste.

【題目】The rising costs of health care have become a problem for many countries in the world. To deal with this problem, it is recommended that a big part of the government's health budget be used for health education and disease prevention instead of treatment. Actually，many kinds of diseases are preventable in many ways and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than treating it. For example，people could avoid catching a cold if they dressed warmly when the weather starts getting cold. But many people get sick because they fail to do so，and have to spend money seeing a doctor.

Daily habits like eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families from becoming bankrupt if the patients had taken measures for early prevention. For instance, keeping a balanced diet，such as not consuming too much animal fat and insuring a steady intake of vegetables and fruits，seems to be quite important.

One very effective and costless way of prevention is regular exercise , which is necessary for a healthy mind and body. Regular exercise ，such as running，walking, and playing sports is a good way to make people feel better or reduce stress.

In addition, health education plays a key role in improving people's health. By giving people more information about health, countries could help people understand the importance of disease prevention and ways to achieve it. For example, knowing one's family medical history is an effective way to help keep healthy. Information about health problems among close relatives will make them aware of what they should do to prevent certain diseases through lifestyle changes, which will work before it is too late.

However，stressing disease prevention does not mean medical treatment is unimportant. After all，prevention and treatment are just two different means toward the same effect. In conclusion, we could save money on health care and treat patients more successfully if our country spends more money on health prevention and education.

【1】 What's the best title of the passage?

A. Prevention or Education? B. Prevention or Treatment?

C. Health or Illness? D. Exercise or Illness?

【2】 Which of the following can replace the underlined word "bankrupt"?

A. Unable to be cured.

B. Unable to pay one's debts.

C. Stronger than ever before.

D. More successful than ever before.

【3】 We learn from the passage that ______ .

A. dressing warmly can prevent diseases

B. a balanced diet is cheaper than regular exercise

C. the more health education，the better

D. the government's health budget should be increased

【4】 Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

CP( Central Point) P( Point) Sp( Sub-point 次要點(diǎn))C ( Conclusion)

【題目】Being active in your local community is important because it is an essential part of living a satisfying life.

Humans by nature are social beings. We need to be around other people to feel happy, secure and safe. Hanging out with friends helps, but that isn’t quite enough. We need to be active in our local community.

Everyone benefits from a strong community. Being active within our society helps individuals feel less lonely, have a more vital and interesting life, stay healthy and feel happier. Being active within our society brings us inspiration, helps us succeed in business and helps us find our way in life.

Communities thrive﹙興旺﹚ when people are better connected. Local economies expand, businesses succeed, education grows, support systems become more efficient, and so on.

There may be some obstacles on the way to being active in the local community. People may become disconnected from their community. It is a modern day reality that people turn to their computers for connection with others. This can be a great thing, but it can also go too far and we can become separated from our local, physical world society. Computers are usually at their best when used as a tool to accomplish tasks and not as a portal (傳送門) into an online existence that controls our life. Online communities have become very real and they help millions feel more connected, but they must not take the place of our physical life community.[來

It is also common for people to find jobs online and to migrate to different locations around the world. This uproots﹙使人遷移他處居住﹚ us and takes us away from the local society we grew up in, forces us to make new friends and establish ourselves in a new community.

Becoming active in our community does require effort, but it’s well worth it. Understanding the importance of community and becoming more active within yours will greatly increase your quality of life.
