【题目】 Compared with solar and wind energy, which are booming, tidal (潮汐的) power is a loser in the clean-energy competition. But if you did want to build a tidal power station, there are few better sites than the mouth of the River Severn, in Britain. Its tidal range, the difference in depth between high and low tides, of around 15 metres is among the largest in the world.
Engineers and governments have been toying with the idea since at least 1925. But none of the suggested projects has materialised. Price is one objection. A study thought that tidal energy might cost between £216 and £368 ($306-521) per MWh of electricity by 2025, compared with £58-75 for seagoing wind turbines (轮机) and £55-76 for solar panels. Environmentalists also worry that any plant would change the tides, making life harder for wildlife.
An engineer called Rod Rainey thinks he has a way around both problems. He plans to replace the conventional turbines of previous plans with a much older technology. Specifically, he plans to span (横跨) the river mouth with a line of water wheels. This is a design that dates back to the early days of the Industrial Revolution. Examples can be found fixed to the sides of old watermills (水磨).
But there would be nothing old-fashioned about Mr Rainey’s wheels. Thirty metres high and sixty wide, they would be made from ordinary steel. Two hundred and fifty of them, along with the supporting structures, would be floated into place and secured to the seabed, creating a line 15km long. Together, they could supply power at an avenge ate of 4GW. That is about as much as two biggish nuclear power stations would manage. Substituting one of the wheels with a set of locks would provide a shipping channel about twice the width of Panama Canal, permitting upstream ports such as Avonmouth and Cardiff to continue operating.
【1】What is special about the mouth of the River Seven?
A.The tidal range there is about 15 meters.
B.It has the largest tidal range in the world.
C.The tidal power station has been built there.
D.Its power plant makes life harder for wildlife.
【2】What was people’s initial attitude towards tidal power?
A.Opposed.B.Supportive.
C.Controversial.D.Doubtful.
【3】What are the locks used for?
A.Support.B.Transportation.
C.Securing wheels.D.Producing electricity.
【4】What’s the best tittle for the text?
A.Rainey invented turbines.
B.Rainey’s tidal power station.
C.Tidal power in the River Seven.
D.An old idea might be made practical.

【题目】It’s in Your Hands
Feeding bread to the ducks is a fond pastime for many of us, reminding us of happy childhood trips to the local park. 【1】 Eating it can cause our feathered friends to develop a condition called Angel Wing, which is when too much bread makes birds’ feathers grow too quickly. This additional weight puts a strain on their muscles, causing their wings to twist and drop open.
“Angel Wing can be cured if we reach birds before it has developed too severely,” says Caroline Simpson, a trustee of UK charity Swan Lifeline, “【2】” Over the last 20 years UK charity Swan Lifeline has rescued and treated more than 30,000 birds. Adult swans can develop heart disease by eating much bread, so it’s important that we do our best to prevent this by feeding them the right kind of food.
【3】 Rotten bread at the bottom of rivers and lakes allows bacteria to breed, spreading disease and attracting rats and other pests to our waterways, which can result in the presence of a mould (霉菌) called Aspergillus. It has the potential to kill waterfowl and other wildlife if it gets into their lungs.
【4】 Definitely not. Wild Things Swan & Duck Food has launched the “Better than Bread” Campaign to highlight the risk of a calorific diet to water birds. The campaign advises that there are much healthier alternatives to bread, such as specially developed feeds. They can float on the water surface, so birds can enjoy every last bit. 【5】
A.So we must stop feeding the ducks.
B.But did you know that bread actually puts birds in danger?
C.Does this mean we have to stop fun trips to feed the ducks?
D.Bread can also cause harmful changes to the natural ecosystem.
E.What a scene it is to watch ducks eating bread floating on the river!
F.Otherwise the consequences can be serious — such as the loss of the wing.
G.Next time take a healthier alternative and do your bit to protect our precious wildlife.

【题目】 Google has reported progress in its plan called “Project Loon” to provide Internet service to rural (农村的) areas without Internet connectivity around the world. The company has no plans to use traditional wiring, which can be costly. Instead the idea is to float (漂浮) huge balloons (气球) about 20 kilometers above the surface of the Earth.
The balloons would act like telecommunications satellites, providing Internet service to the rural areas. The huge objects would ride air currents (气流) to either stay in place or move to another position high in the skies. At first, the idea was to have a large number of balloons circling the planet. One balloon would move away from an area while another arrived to ensure service in the affected areas. But the company said it has found a way to make balloons float over one area for a long period. In a report published online, the company said its software “can now send small teams of balloons over a specific area where people need Internet access.”
The company said some of the balloons stayed in the same area for as long as three months. The company also said the discovery should speed up the project and reduce costs: “We’ll reduce the number of balloons we need and get greater value out of each one, they said. But Project Loon workers must still find ways to increase the life of the balloons. A British Broadeasting Corporation report said the longest service for a single balloon was 190 days.
Google has also explored the idea of providing Internet service to rural areas using solar—powered drone aircraft (太阳能无人机). However, it gave up that project because of technological difficulties and high costs.
【1】What’s the aim of the “Project Loon”?
A.To float huge balloons above the rural areas.
B.To help rural areas have access to the Internet.
C.To increase Google’s income in the rural areas.
D.To advertise Google’s new product in the rural areas.
【2】Why wouldn’t Google use traditional wiring?
A.It could be too expensive.
B.It could put off the project.
C.It couldn’t provide greater value.
D.It couldn’t work for a long period
【3】What do we know about the balloons?
A.They must be used in a large number.
B.They could provide service as long as 3 months.
C.They’ll be sent up by solar-powered drone aircrafts.
D.They would work like telecommunications satellites.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A.An unexpected discovery.
B.Some unknown facts about balloons.
C.Google’s using balloons to provide Internet service.
D.The differences between the new and traditional wiring.

【题目】请阅读下面文字,并按照要求用英语写一篇 150 词左右的文章。
Dear editor,
I was shocked by the news that neighbors of a German university protested to the government that some students often gathered and shouted at night, disturbing local residents. They demanded if the students were not dismissed, they would move out of the area.
I want to ask those young people: When you were letting off screams, were you aware that you were damaging other people’s normal life?
This doesn’t happen by chance. I often witness similar things in our country, too. For example, throwing waste water onto the streets and spitting in public places can frequently be seen. Some tourists litter casually or even carve their names on ancient scenic spots! Many young people are fond of jumping queues and never offer their seats to the elderly.
All over the world, people are beginning to worry that civilized behavior is a thing of the past. In fact, civilized behavior can help bring trust from others and success in the fierce world market competition. Therefore, increasing the quality of citizens is becoming urgent.

In our daily life, we unavoidably come across various challenge now and then.
For me, the biggest challenge happens when I entered senior high school. I was shocking to find the physics teacher was teaching was totally beyond me. Thinking I just lacked a gift for physics, I stopped to making an effort and my grades were poor. Unfortunately, my teacher didn’t give up on me. Instead, he helped me analyse a problem and I realized I needed to rise to the challenge bravely. Now, I’m one of the top students in physics.
From my experience, I have learned that it is not our inborn gifts and our efforts that helps us achieve success. When we come across challenges, you should fight bravely instead of giving up.
