Question

17．In the US and Britain，the slogan around colleges was"Save water．Shower with a friend．"Now，Wuhan University has come up with another system for the campus bathhouse．It charges students for the amount of time in a shower．Before entering the bathhouse，students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower with cash or their student ID card．The clock starts ticking the minute the tape is turned on．It pauses when a button is pressed for soap．An integrated circuit （IC） card reader at each tap shows the time．No money，no water．The benefits of the new system
can be seen with the old system which charged 1 yuan for each person regardless of time in the shower．The university used  about 320 tons of water daily under the old system，but only 160 tons now．
     Many students use the new system but opinions on it are divided．Some students say it is  uncomfortable，because bathing had become a sort of race．Many people using it for the first time are not sure how long they need to shower．Some might be embarrassed if their time is UP and they're still covered in soap．They have to ask the bathhouse worker to help them buy extra time．
"It's a flaw in the system that you can not buy extra time on the ID card，"said Ren，a freshman．The University is also considering some student's suggestions that they be allowed to pay after they've finished the shower．Not surprisingly，some are complaining about losing the hour shower．But many students say the move helps them develop a water-saving sense．
     Without the time limit，most students tended to shower for half to an hour in the bathhouse．
     Some even used the hot water to wash their clothes．"In my experience，10-20 minutes is enough，"said Dai Zhihua，a third-year student who usually takes 8 minutes．
     A similar system has been installed in other universities．Shanghai Normal University introduced it at its Fengxiang Campus in September．The bathing fee there is 0.2 yuan per minute．One male student responded by setting a record with a two-minute shower．

分析 本文是一篇说明文，文章主要讲的是武汉大学为增加学生节约用水的意识而对洗澡采取的一种新措施：洗澡按时计费．学生们在洗澡前；用现金或学生身份证来支付想要洗澡时间的费用．学生对这种新体制的做法观点是不一样的．一些学生认为这样不舒服，洗澡像比赛一样．有些学生抱怨这样做也有弊端，用身份证不能买到额外的时间来洗澡，应该在洗澡完后再付费才合理．但也有学生认为这样做法能帮助形成节约用水的理念．

解答 41-45 ADCBC
41．A    细节理解题．根据第一段中的"Before entering the bathhouse，students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower with cash or their student ID card．"可知，学生是在洗澡前付款的．而第三段中的"The University is also considering some student's suggestions that they be allowed to pay after they've finished the shower"可知，只是值得考虑的建议，故选A．
42．D   推理判断题．纵观全文可知，文章主要讲的是武汉大学为增加学生节约用水的意识而对洗澡采取的一种新措施：洗澡按时计费．然后阐述了学生对学校这样举措的不同观点，并没有提及作者对这种做法的观点和态度，故选D．
43．C   细节理解题．根据第一段中的"The university used  about 320 tons of water daily under the old system，but only 160 tons now．"可知，两个数字进行比较可知，"one half   一半"C项符合语境，故选C．
44．B    推理判断题．根据第一段中的"In the US and Britain，the slogan around colleges was"Save water．Shower with a friend．"Now，Wuhan University has come up with another system for the campus bathhouse．"可知，大学这些做法都是为了增加学生节约用水的意识，故选B．
45．C   推理判断题．纵观全文可知，文章主要讲的是大学就洗澡问题采取的新举措．因此应该是"校园生活"符合语境，故选C．

点评 解答细节理解题时，一个常用的方法就是运用定位法，即根据题干和选项中的关键词从原文中找到相关的句子，与选项进行比较从而确定答案；推理判断题既要求学生透过文章表面文字信息推测文章隐含意思，又要求学生对作者的态度、意图及文章细节的发展作正确的推理判断，力求从作者的角度去考虑，不要固守自己的看法或观点．
