【題目】 Earthquake rescue robots have experienced their final tests in Beijing. Their designers say that with these robots, rescue workers will be able to have more time to save more lives during an earthquake.

This robot looking like a helicopter(直升機(jī)) is called the flying robot . It's about 3 meters long, and it took about 4 years to develop the model. Its main functions(作用)are to collect information from the air, and send goods of up to 30 kilos to people trapped by an earthquake. It has a high-definition 360-degree panoramic(全景的) camera. It can work day and night and is also able to send the latest pictures from the quake area.

Dr. Qi Juntong, a researcher at Chinese Academy of Science, said, 'Unlike other automatic machines, the most important feature of this flying robot is that it doesn't need a distant control. We just set the destination information on it, and then it takes off, and lands by itself. It flies as high as 3,000 meters, and as fast as 100 kilometers per hour. '

This robot has another different function --- it can change as the environment changes. Its main job is to search for any signs of life in places where human rescuers are unable to go. As well as a detector(探測器)that finds victims and detects poisonous gas, a camera is placed in the 3-meter-long robot, which can work in the dark. Another use for the rescuers is the supply bot, with its 10-meter-long pipe, people who are trapped in the ruins will be able to get supplies including oxygen and liquids.

Experts have said that the robots will enter production and serve as part of the national earthquake rescue team as soon as next year.

1What can we learn about from the passage?

A.It hasn't been put into production so far.

B.It is a machine with a length of 10 meters.

C.It is a machine carried by a helicopter.

D.It weighs about 30 kilos.

2Dr. Qi Juntong thinks this robot is different from the others mainly because ___.

A.it has more functions

B.it has a more advanced camera

C.it can change as the environment changes

D.it can work by itself once given the information

3The underlined word 'which' in Paragraph 4 refers to___.

A.a cameraB.a detectorC.a rescuerD.a doctor

4What is the passage mainly about?

A.The appearance of the robot.B.An introduction to the robot.

C.The reason for making the robot.D.Some information about earthquakes.

【答案】

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了一種地震救援機(jī)器人的功能和特點(diǎn)。

1細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段的Experts have said that the robots will enter production and serve as part of the national earthquake rescue team as soon as next year.可知專家說這種機(jī)器人最快在明年投入生產(chǎn),作為國家地震救援隊(duì)的成員,即該機(jī)器人目前還沒有投入生產(chǎn)。A. It hasn't been put into production so far. (迄今為止它還沒有投入生產(chǎn))符合以上說法,故選A項(xiàng)。

2細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段的Dr. Qi Juntong, a researcher at Chinese Academy of Science, said, 'Unlike other automatic machines, the most important feature of this flying robot is that it doesn't need a distant control. We just set the destination information on it, and then it takes off, and lands by itself. It flies as high as 3,000 meters, and as fast as 100 kilometers per hour. ' (中國科學(xué)院奇駿同博士說:“與其他自動機(jī)器不同,這種飛行機(jī)器人最重要的特點(diǎn)是它不需要遠(yuǎn)距離控制。我們只需要設(shè)置目的地信息,然后它自己起飛,自己降落。它的飛行高度可達(dá)3000米,速度可達(dá)每小時100公里”)可知這種飛行機(jī)器人和其他機(jī)器人的最大不同之處是,設(shè)置目的地信息之后它可以自己執(zhí)行。D. it can work by itself once given the information (一旦給了信息,它可以自己工作)符合以上說法,故選D項(xiàng)。

3詞意猜測題。根據(jù)劃線部分所在句子As well as a detector(探測器)that finds victims and detects poisonous gas, a camera is placed in the 3-meter-long robot, which can work in the dark.可知作為一個發(fā)現(xiàn)受害者和偵察有毒氣體的探測器,一個相機(jī)放在這個3米長的機(jī)器人里,which可知在黑暗處工作。結(jié)合句意和句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,關(guān)系代詞指代的是a camera。故選A項(xiàng)。

4主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章的主要內(nèi)容,尤其是第一段的Earthquake rescue robots have experienced their final tests in Beijing. (地震救援機(jī)器人已經(jīng)在北京通過了最后的測試),第二段的 This robot looking like a helicopter(直升機(jī)) is called the flying robot . It's about 3 meters long, and it took about 4 years to develop the model. (這種看起來像直升機(jī)的機(jī)器人被叫做飛行機(jī)器人。它們長約3米,用了四年時間完成模型),第三段的Unlike other automatic machines, the most important feature of this flying robot is that it doesn't need a distant control. (與其他自動機(jī)器不同,這種飛行機(jī)器人最重要的特點(diǎn)是它不需要遠(yuǎn)距離控制)和第四段的This robot has another different function --- it can change as the environment changes. (這種機(jī)器人還有另外一個不同的功能——它可以隨著環(huán)境的改變而改變)可知本文主要介紹一種地震救援機(jī)器人。B. An introduction to the robot. (對這種機(jī)器人的介紹)符合以上說法,故選B項(xiàng)。

【題目】 A study has shown that severe stress lasting weeks or months can damage cell communications in the brain’s memory areas. Recently, researchers from University of California, Irvine, have provided the first evidence that short-term stress lasting for a few hours has the same effect.

“Stress does exist in our lives and cannot be avoided,” said Dr. Baram, leader of the UC Irvine School. “Our findings can play an important role in the present development of medicine that might prevent these undesirable effects and offer understanding of why some people are forgetful or have difficulty keeping the memories.”

In their study, Baram and her UC Irvine colleagues identified a novel process in which stress caused these effects. They found that, severe stress activated(激活) Corticotropin Releasing Hormones(CRH), which prevented the brain from keeping memory.

Memory takes place at synapses, where there are connections through which brain cells communicate. These synapses lie on dendritic spines(神經(jīng)元). In rat and mouse studies, Baram’s group saw that the release(釋放) of CRH in the brain’s primary memory center led to the rapid breakup of these dendritic spines, which in turn limited the ability of synapses to collect and store memories.

In addition, the researchers reproduced the effects of stress on dendritic spines by keeping low levels of CRH, and watching how the spines ruptured over minutes. “Fortunately, once we removed the CRH, the spines seemed to grow back again, ” Baram said. “And this study can play a role in the creation of treatments to address stress-related memory loss.”

1According to the text, short-term stress can lead to ________.

A.memory lossB.cell decrease

C.head damageD.thought disorder

2The underlined word “ruptured” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ________.

A.came into beingB.built up

C.broke apartD.died away

3What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?

A.To discuss the main stages of stress.

B.To show the primary cause of stress.

C.To introduce a new finding about stress.

D.To promote an effective treatment for stress.

【題目】 Businesses are witnessing a difficult time, which has in turn produced influence on consumers, desire to go green. However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns.

Two thirds of customers say that environmental considerations inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a year ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy.

This may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves. And the companies should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly. Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible companies, with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a company’s environmental reputation was not good enough.

Harry Morrison, chief executive (主管) of the Carbon Trust, sympathizes: “I understand this situation where survival is very important now. But from environmental considerations, the clock is ticking — we don’t have much time. In addition, cutting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand.”

Larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require businesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions (排放). Those that have taken early action will have a head start. More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which companies are environmentally responsible. This suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.

The Carbon Trust believes that it can help by informing customers about the good work companies are doing. “When companies are granted (授予) the standard, they can use a logo (標(biāo)識) in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are working towards cutting emissions,” Mr. Morrison said.

1What’s the main idea of the passage?

A.Businesses are finding ways to send their message to the shoppers.

B.Companies will soon get information about cutting carbon emissions.

C.Firms are making efforts to encourage customers to keep goods at home.

D.Firms are urged to cut carbon emissions by shoppers, environmental awareness.

2The underlined word “inform” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”.

A.affectB.change

C.disturbD.reject

3According to Harry Morrison, businesses .

A.will benefit from cutting carbon emissions

B.should buy carbon allowances for shoppers

C.are required to make up for their carbon emissions

D.have encouraged shoppers to take their custom elsewhere

4We can learn from the passage that businesses will .

A.have a strong desire to reduce costs

B.use the same logo in their marketing

C.gain advantages by taking early action

D.attract more shoppers by storing goods
