【题目】Were you surprised by the ending of the film?

No. I __________ the book, so I already knew the story.

A. was reading

B. had read

C. am reading

D. have read

【答案】 B

【解析】句意:——你对电影的结局感到惊奇吗?——不,我曾经读过那本书,因此知道故事的内容。根据句意可知说话者说的是过去的事情,故用过去时,排除C、D两项;A项为进行体,表示未完性,和后句中的内容相矛盾,故也被排除。由句慈可知read应该发生在were surprised之前,属于过去的过去,故答案为B。

【题目】Many Americans concerned about pollution are demanding cleaner supplies of energy. The demand has resulted in increased research about ethanol fuel. Ethanol is an alcohol that can be mixed with gas. It burns up most of the pollutants in gas. It replaces some of the chemicals that are known to cause cancer, and it can be produced in the United States.

Some experts say that in the future ethanol will replace some of the oil imported into America. Today ethanol is less than one percent of total American fuel supply. The head of the National Corn Growers Association, Kieve Hard, says ethanol will provide twenty-five percent of the fuel supply by 2030. The organization is involved in the production of ethanol because it can be made from corn.

One company in the American Midwest says it is starting to produce ethanol because of demands from people and from the government. The Congress approved the Clean Air Act in 1990. The company says this means the market for ethanol will expand. The company is a major producer of corn starch that can be used to make ethanol.

At Texas A and M University Professor Mark Holzapple produces ethanol from materials found in solid waste. He has developed a way to turn materials like paper into simple sugar. He then uses yeast to turn the sugar into ethanol. Professor Holzapple says two hundred liters of ethanol fuel can be produced from one ton of solid waste.

A professor at the University of Arkansas, John Geddie, is exploring another way to make ethanol. He is using acids on paper material. He says a large factory could produce ethanol from waste paper at a cost about the same as the cost of producing gasoline.

Environmentalists support the use of ethanol because it turns solid waste into a useful product. Professor Holzapple says law makers in industrial nations need to support the development of this clean, less expensive fuel of the future.

【1】Why does the interest in ethanol fuel increase in the United States according to the passage?

A. Ethanol products are known to cause cancer.

B. Ethanol can remove some harmful pollutants from gas.

C. The production of ethanol is protected by law.

D. Ethanol-fueled automobiles are cheaper than gas-fueled ones.

【2】In this passage, what is the significance of the Clean Air Act passed by American Congress in 1990?

A. It will increase the consumers’ demand for ethanol as a fuel.

B. It may increase the cost of producing gas.

C. It reflects the view of the government on automobiles production.

D. It limits the ethanol production of one company in the American Midwest.

【3】The author mentions all of the following resources for making ethanol except____.

A. corn starch B. natural gas

C. waste paper D. solid waste

【4】What does Professor Mark Holzapple think of the development of ethanol in countries?

A. It needs the cooperation of many chemists.

B. It associates with the use of advanced equipment.

C. It will improve the use of heat from exhaust gases.

D. It requires the support of the government.
