It can help you as a single home owner. It can help the whole country as well. Whether or not solar energy can save your money depends on many things. Where you live is one factor and the type of home you have is another. Things like insulation (绝缘材料), present energy costs, and the type of system you buy are added factors.    Using solar energy can help save our precious fuel. As you know, our supplies of oil and gas are very limited. There is just not enough on hand to meet all our future energy needs. Sooner or later Mother Nature will say thats all. The only way we can delay hearing those words is by starting to save energy now and by using other sources, like the sun.    We wont have to worry about the suns running out of energy for another several billion years or so. Besides, the sun doesnt offer as many problems as other energy sources. For example, fossil fuel(矿物燃料) adds to already high pollution levels. With solar energy, we will still need sources of energy, but we wont need as much. That means we can cut down on our pollution problems.With all these good points, why dont we use more solar power? There are many reasons for this. The biggest reason is money. Until now, it was just not practical for a home owner to put in a solar unit. There were cheaper sources of energy.    All that is changing now. Solar costs are starting to equal the costs of oil and electricity. Experts say that gas, oil and electricity prices will continue to rise. The demand for electricity is increasing rapidly. But new power plants will use more gas, oil or coal. Already in some places the supply of electricity is being rationed (限量供应). Solar energy is now in its infancy (初期). It could soon grow to become a major part of our nations energy supply.1. Whats this passage mainly about?      A. Something about solar energy and pollution.   B. Solar energy.      C. Energy and pollution.    D. Energy and money.2. Solar energy can help us _.  A. escape punishment from nature B. become home owners      C. get rid of present energy D. save our precious fuel3. The sun is an endless source of energy, and it will not run out of energy for _.     A. several million years  B. several hundred years     C. several billion years D. several thousand years 4. Which of the following statements is TRUE?      A. Energy from coal would not pollute our living environment.     B. Energy from natural gas would not pollute our living environment. C. Energy from the sun would not pollute our living environment.     D. Energy from oil would not pollute our living environment.5. Solar energy is now in its infancy, _.     A. but in the future it will become an important part of our nations energy supply     B. so we will build more power plants      C. and the supply of electricity will be rationed throughout the countryD. so we dont need it BThe common cold is the world's most widespread illness, which is plagues that flesh receives. The most widespread fallacy of all is that colds caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes. During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches, cold and wet, showed no increased tendency to catch colds. In the Second World War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp, naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds. At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty room. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose. If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter？Despite the most pains-taking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on. No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors such as aspirin, but all they do is relieve the symptoms.6. The writer offered _ examples to support his argument. A. 4    B. 5    C. 6    D. 3 7. Which of the following does not agree with the chosen passage？A. The Eskimos do not suffer from colds all the time. B. Colds are not caused by cold. C. People suffer from colds just because they like to stay indoors. D. A person may catch a cold by touching someone who already has one. 8. Arctic explorers may catch colds when _. A. they are working in the isolated arctic regions B. they are writing reports in terribly cold weather C. they are free from work in the isolated arctic regions D. they are coming into touch again with the outside world 9. Volunteers taking part in the experiments in the Common Cold Research Unit _. A. suffered a lot      B. never caught colds C. often caught colds    D. became very strong 10. The passage mainly discusses _. A. the experiments on the common cold B. the fallacy about the common cold C. the reason and the way people catch colds D. the continued spread of common coldsAnswers: 一单词拼写 criterionfreezing powder stable practical innocentdistinguishedconvenience expectation patent二用下列短语的适当形式填空。1. out of order 2. set out 3. beaten track 4. dived into 5. ring off 6. fill in 7. get through 8. calledup 9. set about 10. in case 三单项选择 110 BBCDC DAABB 1120 CDCCB CCBCA 2130 BCADC BADDC 四阅读理解15 BDCCA 6 10 BCDAC.单项填空1C根据答语中的“我要去叫他”判断，此处为“等一下；别挂断”，hang on在此相当于hold on。ring off放下话筒；hold up举着；ring back回 。2B母亲是长辈，她所拥有的是实用的信息。建议要经过检验之后才知道是否有效，排除C项，可接受的建议不一定实用，排除D项。3A考查省略句的用法。可以将than expected看成是than it was expected的省略。这句话的意思是：一切都进展得比预期的好。better than expected为习惯用法，表示“比预期的好”。4B这里的bear不表示“忍受”，而是“承受”的意思。5Cdistingusih表示“区分，区分”，常构成distinguish A from B，而differ from each other意为“有区别，不同于”，相当于be different from each other。6C此处指对事物lecture的看法，故使用v.­ing形式。结合后面的“I doubt.”可知此题答案为C项。7Aout of order 出故障了，可根据“你必须让人检查一下”判断。out of control失去控制，不符合句意。8C句意为：他将手伸入包内拿出来两枚硬币。dive into在此意为“将手伸入中”。9D此处what引导宾语从句且在宾语从句中作主语，they thought在此作插入语。10C考查形容词辨析。此处be convenient for意为“离近”。be close to接近。11B考查短语辨析。now and then偶尔；有时。sooner or later迟早；more or less或多或少；over and over again反复。12A考查过去分词作定语。dressed in a white uniform是过去分词短语作定语，修饰The young girl，相当于定语从句who was dressed in a white uniform。13D考查短语辨析。ring off挂断 。14D考查短语辨析。call up给打 。句意是：“请原谅我这么晚给你打 ，但是我有急事。”“没关系，什么事？”call by顺路来一下；call off取消；call in顺路到某处或某人的家。15C考查名词辨析。importance重要性。quality品质，质量，特性；patience耐心；difference区别。第 12 页
