【题目】Every human being, no matter what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is how to get rid of it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus (校园) of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves the opposite problem — how to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which uses not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bulbs and refrigerators as well. The system works so well that no fuel is needed to make the campus’s six buildings comfortable.
Some parts of most modem buildings — theaters and offices as well as classrooms, are more sufficiently heated by people and lights and sometimes must be air-conditioned (使用空调的) even in winter. The technique of saving heat and redistributing (再分配) it is called “heat recovery”. A few modern buildings recover heat, but the University’s system is the first to recover heat from buildings and reuse it in others.
Along the way, Pittsburgh has learned a great deal about some of its producers. The harder a student studies, the more heat his body gives off. Male students send out more heat than female students, and the larger a student is, the more heat he produces. We may conclude that the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a hard working overweight mate genius.
【1】The heat in the heating system of the Johnstown campus is supplied ________.
A. by human bodies
B. by both human bodies and other heat-giving objects
C. by both human bodies and commonly used fuel
D. by human bodies, commonly used fuel and other heat-giving objects
【2】According to the passage, the technique of heat recovery is used ________.
A. to find the producers of heat
B. to provide heat for the hot water system
C. to make the campus more beautiful
D. to collect heat and reuse it
【3】The underlined phrase “the hottest prospect” in this passage refers to ________.
A. the person who suffers most from heat
B. the person who needs more heat than others
C. the person who gives off most heat
D. the person who makes better use of heat
【4】Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?
A. A New Heat Recovery System in Pitt
B. Modern Building’s Heat System
C. Body Heat and Its Producers
D. Ways of Heating Building
【答案】
【1】B
【2】D
【3】C
【4】A
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了Pittsburgh大学通过收集人体以及其他物体释放出的热量,并将收集到的热量进行再分配来对建筑进行供暖的技术。
【1】细节理解题。根据第一段They have designed a collection system which uses not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bulbs and refrigerators as well.可知,这种收集系统不仅使用人体的热量,还使用由像灯泡和冰箱这种物体释放出的热量。故选B。
【2】细节理解题。根据第二段The technique of saving heat and redistributing (再分配) it is called “heat recovery”可知,“热回收”这种技术是储存热量,然后在重新分配热量。故选D。
【3】词义猜测题。根据最后一段We may conclude that the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a hard working overweight mate genius.可知,前文对释放热量多的特征进行了说明,所以我们可下结论,Johnstown校园的the hottest prospect将是个勤奋学习、身材臃肿的男性天才,由此可知the hottest prospect的意思是“释放最多热量的人”。故选C。
【4】主旨大意题。根据全文可知,通篇文章都是在介绍Pittsburgh大学的一种“热回收”系统,这种系统可以收集人体以及其他物体释放出的热量,然后将这种热量重新分配用于建筑的供暖。A项“Pittsburgh大学的新型热回收系统”最适合作文章题目。故选A。

【题目】阅读理解
Winters are long and unforgiving in North Dakota. The winter of 1996 was especially brutal. It was a hard time in my own life too. A neck injury had kept me flat in bed for nearly a year. “Just in time for Easter,”my husband, Dick, said. But how could I feel the joy when the snow was four feet deep and I had months of painful physical treatment ahead?
I was doing the dishes one day, feeling hopeless when there was a tap against the glass. It was a branch of the troublesome cottonwood (棉白杨).Back in the fall of 1979, it was a new subdivision (分支)then, an eight-foot stick. The people who'd briefly occupied the house before us had placed the pipe from the pump next to it. The earth was so wet that the poor thing had fallen down, most of its bare root system pointing skyward, and blowing hopelessly back and forth in the cold wind. Dick decided to pull it out one day, but I protested.
“Look at how hard it's trying!” I said, pointing to the way it strongly kept hold of the earth. “It deserves a chance.”
Dick borrowed some tools. We packed dry soil around the tree and put up some stakes (桩) into the ground, making it stand upright. That winter was still terrible. Surprisingly,in the spring my “rescue stick”put forth a few leaves,then with lots of branches. The year after that, we were able to remove the stakes. By the 1990s that little stick was a giant, towering over the house.
Now the tapping at the window continued, louder as the wind picked up, almost as though to tell me to look up. At last, I did. I caught my breath. In the window against the icy blue sky, thousands and thousands of fresh red buds were waving in the wind.
The tree was bursting with life and I had a wonderful Easter.
(1)What is the meaning of the underlined word "brutal" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.busy.
B.hard.
C.long.
D.warm.
(2)How did Dick rescue the new subdivision?
A.By supporting the stick firmly.
B.By watering the stick regularly.
C.By distributing chemical fertilizer.
D.By gathering sticks day and night.
(3)What is the author's purpose in writing the last paragraph?
A.To inform us of the current condition of her cottonwood.
B.To imply that she'd spent the hardest time and felt hopeful.
C.To tell us that the tree had survived from the awful winter.
D.To suggest what she was going to do for the coming festival.
(4)Which of the following can serve as the main idea of the passage?
A.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
B.There is no garden without its weeds.
C.Success is the accumulation of sweat.
D.Where there is life, there is hope.

【题目】阅读理解
Ireland has had a very difficult history. The problems started in the 16th century when English ruler tried to conquer(征服) Ireland. For hundreds of years, the Irish people fought against the English. Finally, in 1921, the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland. The result in that today there are two “Irelands”. Northern Ireland, in the north, is part of the United Kingdom. The Republic of Ireland, in the south is an independent country.
In the 1840s the main crop, was affected by disease and about 750,000 people died of hunger. This, and a shortage(短缺) of work, forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. As a result of these problems, the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.
For many years, the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers. Today, many people will work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices. Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside, where things move at a quieter and slower pace.
The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly. Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish writer, once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Creeks”. Since independence, Ireland has revived(复兴) its own culture of music, language, literature and singing. Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are sung without instruments. Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin, whistles, etc.
(1)What does the author tell us in Paragraph 1?
A.How the Irish fought against the English.
B.How Ireland gained independence.
C.How English rulers tried to conquer Ireland.
D.How two “Irelands” came into being.
(2)We learn from the text that in Ireland ________.
A.food shortages in the 1840s led to a decrease in population
B.people are moving to the cities for lack of work in the countryside
C.it is harder to make a living as a farmer than as a factory worker
D.different kinds of old Irish songs are all sung with instruments
(3)The last paragraph is mainly about_________.
A.the Irish character
B.Irish culture
C.Irish musical instruments
D.a famous Irish writer
(4)What can be the best title for the text?
A.Life in Ireland
B.A Very Difficult History
C.Ireland, past and present
D.The independence of Ireland
