题目列表(包括答案和解析)
A new eight-kilometer road is under construction that links the port area with motorway system. It is expected to carry 20,000 trucks and cars a day, which greatly reduces the overcrowded traffic in the center of the city. As part of the project, two four-kilometer road tunnels are being built below the central area of the city, one for traffic to the north and the other for the traffic to the south. The two tunnels are about 20 meters below the surface and are 12 meters wide, providing for two lanes of traffic in each direction.
In the upper part of the tunnel two air-conditioning pipes remove the waste gas of trucks and cars and keep the quality of air inside the tunnel. The lighting is at the top of the tunnel, practically at its highest point. There will also be electric signs at frequent intervals. They show traffic conditions ahead and can be seen clearly by drivers. The wall is made up of four main elements, which include a waterproofing covering and, on the inside of the tunnel, a concrete lining.
Each tunnel is roughly round and the lower part of the tunnel is somewhat flat. The surface of the road lies on the base, which is made of concrete and steel. The drainage system, just below the road surface on one side, removes any extra liquid, particularly water. In the event of fire, the fire main, which is made of steel, pipes water to many fire hydrant stations at regular intervals along the length of the tunnel. The fire main is at the side of the tunnel and at the level of the road surface. Other systems in the tunnel will include emergency phones.
Each of the tunnels under construction is _____.
A. eight kilometers long and twenty meters wide
B. eight kilometers long and six meters wide
C. four kilometers long and twenty meters wide
D. four kilometers long and six meters wide
Which part of the tunnel in the diagram is used to pipe out extra water?
A. 1 B. 3 C. 5 D 6
Driving in the tunnel, one can know the traffic conditions ahead through______.
A. the lights B. the electric signs
C. the trucks and the cars D. the emergency phones
The passage is mainly about _____.
A. the construction of a road B. the design of a road
C. the construction of two tunnels D.the design of two tunnels
It has been more than twenty years since pioneering British computer programmer, Sir Tim Berners Lee, created the World Wide Web. But could he have ever imagined how much the web would change our lives? And would he approve of how some British students are taking advantage of his invention?
Universities and exam boards around the UK are becoming increasingly concerned with the rising number of cases of plagiarism, many of which are facilitated (助长) by the Internet access.
In the UK most school and university students complete coursework throughout the academic year which contributes toward their final mark. In many cases coursework makes up the main part of the qualification. Since coursework is completed in the students’ own time it cannot be monitored by teachers in the same way as an exam.
Derec Stockley, director of examinations in the UK, explains, “Plagiarism affects coursework more than anything else, and in the cases that come to our attention, more and more are linked to the Internet.”
At a university level recent reports suggest that plagiarism has evolved from separate cases of individual cheating to systematic and even commercial operation. Students can now pay for bespoke essays to be written for them by experts.
It is estimated that the market in online plagiarism is now worth 200 million pounds a year. Every month more and more websites offering to write student’s essays for them appear on the Internet.
Barclay Littlewood, owner of Degree Essays UK employs 3,500 specialist writers and charges between 120 pounds and 4,000 pounds per essay. However, Mr. Littlewood refutes the accusation that he is helping students to cheat.
1.What dose the underlined word “plagiarism” in Paragraph 2 mean in the passage?
|
A．problems of the Internet |
B．cheating |
|
C．learning pressure |
D．coursework |
2.Which of the following statements is mentioned by the author?
|
A．There will be no problem if online plagiarism is a systematic and commercial operation. |
|
B．With the help of online plagiarism, students can write more creative coursework. |
|
C．The Internet seems to have contributed much to the problem of online plagiarism. |
|
D．Teachers should lay more emphasis on exams than coursework. |
3.It can be inferred from the text that the author seems to _____.
|
A．blame Sir Tim Berners Lee for having created the World Wide Web |
|
B．have studied the problem of online plagiarism for nearly 20 years |
|
C．be in favour of Littlewood’s defence against the accusation of him |
|
D．worry about the quality of students’ coursework influenced by the World Wide Web |
4.The paragraph following the passage will most probably be about_____.
|
A．Mr. Littlewood’s defence against those who accused him of his website |
|
B．different people’s opinions on plagiarism |
|
C．how students use the website of Mr. Littlewood |
|
D．the author’s opinions of Mr. Littlewood |

A press report stating that Microsoft has restarted talks to buy Yahoo's search business for 20 billion U. S. dollars. "It has no basis in fact," the San Francisco Chronicle said on Monday.
The Times of London reported on Sunday that the deal under discussion would put former AOL CEO Jonathan Miller and Ross Levinsohn, a former president of Fox Interactive Media, in charge of Yahoo. The report also said executives (管理人员) at both companies had agreed to the broad terms of a deal.
In fact, there are no current talks between the two companies. The Chronicle quoted an executive at one of the firms who requested his name to be kept secret as saying. Furthermore, the 20-billion-dollar price mentioned in the Times of London article for Yahoo's search business appears questionable given that the market capitalization (资本总额) for all of Yahoo is 16 billion dollars, said The Chronicle.
Yahoo and Microsoft had had on-again, off-again talks over several months earlier this year about a 47. 5-billion-dollar takeover, and later a proposal focused only on Yahoo's search business. Discussions regarding both plans collapsed without an agreement.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has said repeatedly that he is no longer interested in buying all of Yahoo, but that he is open to some sort of partnership involving their respective search businesses.
Brad Williams, a Yahoo spokesman, said Sunday "We don't comment on rumors." Frank Shaw, a Microsoft spokesman, declined to comment.
Yahoo's shares have plummeted since Microsoft withdrew its 33-dollar-a-share acquisition offer earlier this year, leaving people to think that discussions would eventually be restarted. Yahoo's shares closed Friday at 11. 51 dollars, nearly one-third of the original offer.
1. From this passage, we can know that ______.
A. Microsoft has given up buying all of Yahoo but its search business
B. Microsoft has already taken over the whole company of Yahoo
C. the market capitalization for all of Yahoo is over $ 20 billion
D. the market capitalization for all of Microsoft is only $ 6 billion
2. What is the author trying to convince readers of in the third paragraph?
A. Yahoo and Microsoft are talking about takeover.
B. Microsoft is buying Yahoo’s search businesses for $ 20 billion.
C. Yahoo would like to sell its search businesses to another company.
D. There are no current talks between Yahoo and Microsoft.
3. What does the underlined word “plummet” in the passage most probably mean?
A. develop rapidly B. increase quickly C. fall quickly D. keep balanced
4. You can find this passage most probably in ______ .
A. an entertainment website B. an economical newspaper
C. a sports magazine D. a biological dictionary
