【题目】阅读理解。

A dam is like a wall that is built across a waterway to control the flow of the water.For many years,dams were built only of earth and rocks.Today,many dams are built of concrete.

When a dam is built,water is trapped and held behind the dam.This water forms a lake.The lakes can be used for recreation or for irrigating,or watering crops.The lakes also provide potable water,water that is safe for drinking.This potable water is piped from the lake into houses and other buildings.The lake water further serves as a home,or habitat,for fish and waterfowl.

Dams are often built to provide flood control.Just before the rainy season,the water in the dam is allowed to flow out very slowly.This lowers the water level in the lake so that snowmelt and rainfall can be stored there in every spring and used as needed during the rest of the year.

Some dams are built to use the power of falling water to make electricity.Such dams have powerhouses that contain machines;turbines and generators.Water falls from the lake to the river below the dam.As the water falls,it is sent through the powerhouse.There,the force of the water turns the turbines and generators and produces electrical power needed to light and heat buildings.

【1】The word used to describe water that is safe for drinking is .

A.portable water B.dirty water

C.orange juice D.boiled water

【2】According to the story,dams are built for different reasons.But all dams .

【题目】根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选页中有两项为多余选项。Roger Sperry and Robert Ornstein of the California Institute of Technology, Nobel prize winners, discovered that the human brain has two sides, and each side has different work to do.The left side of the brain controls language and number and it analyses and reasons.1It controls our appreciation of music and our sense of rhythm. It is also the right side of our brain which daydreams.Leonardo da Vinci was the great painter and sculptor. He was also an architect, a scientist and an inventor!2When he invented machines he used both his imaginative ability and his analytical ability.3Albert Einstein enjoyed art, playing the violin and sailing. Indeed, Einstein said his scientific discoveries grew from his imagination rather than from analysis, reason and language. He said that written and spoken words were not important in his thinking. The story goes that Einstein was daydreaming one summer's day while sitting on a hill. He imagined that he was riding on sunbeams to the far distance of the universe. Then he found that he had returned to the sun. So he realized that the universe must curve(弯曲).4He then used the left side of his brain to apply analysis, number and reason. And finally he used language to explain it.Traditional education in schools encourages us to use the left side of our brains. Language, number, analysis and reason are given more importance in our schools than imagination and daydreaming. Why don' t we give more value to visual thinking? Why jump on one foot if we have two perfectly good legs !5We need to use our imagination to think of solutions to problems and to enjoy emotional and artistic experiences. And we need to be logical able to analyze and organize in order to survive day by day.

A. We benefit by thinking creatively.

B. We all need both sides of our brain.

C. He got this idea by using his imagination.

D. Great scientists and great artists are similar.

E. He was considered crazy for his strange ideas.

F. He used both sides of his brain within each activity.

G. The right side controls our imagination and our understanding of space.

【题目】阅读理解。

Climate change has caused a rise in sea levels.This has increased an amount of salt in fresh water used on farms near the sea.As a result farmers are unable to use fields close to the sea.Scientists call this process “salinization(盐碱化)”,which is reducing the world’s farm lands by 1 to 2 percent every year.

But a farmer in Holland,Marc Van Rijsselberghe started with an experiment,using a mixture of sea and fresh water to grow healthy and tasty vegetables.He put several kinds of plants in the fields.Mr.Van Rijsselberghe worked on the project with scientists from the Free University of Amsterdam.He divided a farm into eight areas.Every area was watered by different water.“We put in a lot of plants in the fields and then we put them in fresh water and in sea water with all the varieties(变化) between them,and then we saw which variety was surviving and which variety was dying.”A computer program created water with eight levels of salinity(盐度).Computerized measuring devices(测量仪器)controlled the water levels and the levels of salinity.

Mr.Van Rijsselberghe said he was able to harvest vegetables from most of the eight test areas.He said the vegetables were smaller than those grown in fresh water.But he said they had more sugar and salt,so they tasted better.

The farmer grew carrots,potatoes,cabbage and onions.He found that potatoes grew better than the other vegetables in the combination of sea and fresh water.Mr.Van Rijsselberghe said four kinds of these potatoes were recently sent to Pakistan,where thousands of hectares(公顷)of land have been damaged by salinization.Farmers in Pakistan will test the Dutch potatoes to see if they can be grown in those fields.

【题目】On Jan 15th, 2015, Justin Valdez, a college student, was shot in a subway station in San Francisco. The surveillance video(监控录像) showed that before Justin was killed, the killer pulled out his gun several times, and even wiped his nose with it. However, nobody noticed the killer. The surrounding passengers all focused on their cell phones.

We may see the same scene everywhere in our life: in subway stations, restaurants, elevators and so on, people are watching their cell phones. From a family reunion to a date with a friend, people couldn’t stop checking their twitter and facebook on the cell phones, ignoring the persons in front completely. Phubbing(低头症) not only involves young people, but also the elderly and kids.

“Phubbing” is a new term which comes from the words “phone’’ and “snub(冷落)”. It describes the habit of snubbing someone in favor of a cell phone. The word “phubbing” was included in the Australian National Dictionary in 2012. Obviously, the indifference(冷漠) and rudeness of the information age are spreading globally. A Stop Phubbing campaign website has been set up. You can find the slogan of the website as follows: “stop twittering, stop posting photos…enjoy your food, enjoy the music and respect others.”

Phubbing appears harmless. However, it does influence our life. Jimmy, an epicure(美食家), wrote in his blog: “I can no longer focus on what I am eating since I started twittering. My skill of food photography has improved very fast, while my interest in food drops as a result.”

Let us put down our cell phones and re-enjoy the real taste of our food and the warmth of interpersonal communication.

【1】The case of Justin Valdez is given in the first paragraph to show

A. gun violence happens easily in the US

B. phubbing may lead to terrible disasters

C. the killer didn’t mean to kill him

D. the killer had made a careful plan

2Jimmy’s words suggest that

A. phubbing is actually harmless

B. phubbing stops people enjoying their life

C. phubbing affects people’s eating habits the most

D. phubbing helps people improve their photographic skills

3What is the text mainly about?

A. How the word “phubbing” came into being.

B. The popular campaign of stop phubbing.

C. The meaning of the word “phubbing”.

D. The great harm of phubbing.
