1、甘肃省部分普通中学2016高考英语新课标学能专业高效提分集训试题(二)注意:本试卷分第卷(选择题)和第卷(非选择题)两部分。满分120分。考试时间100分钟。第卷第一部分:阅读理解( 共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。AAccording to the US government, wind farms off the Pacific coast could produce 900 gigawatts of electricity every year. Unfortunately, the w
2、ater there is far too deep for even the tallest windmills to touch bottom. An experiment under way off the coast of Norway, however, could help put them anywhere. The project, called Hywind, is the worlds first large-scale deepwater wind turbine (涡轮发电机). Although it uses a fairly standard 152-ton, 2
3、. 3-megawatt turbine, Hywind represents totally new technology. The turbine will be fixed 213 feet above the water on a floating spar, a technology Hywinds creator, the Norwegian company StatoilHydro, has developed recently. The steel spar, which is filled with stones and goes 328 feet below the sea
4、 surface, will be tied to the ocean floor by three cables ; these will keep the spar stable and prevent the turbine from moving up and down in the waves. Hywinds stability in the cold and rough sea would prove that even the deepest corners of the ocean are suitable for wind power. If all goes accord
5、ing to the plan, the turbine will start producing electricity six miles off the coast of southwestern Norway as early as September. To produce electricity on a large scale, a commercial wind farm will have to use bigger turbines than Hywind does, but its difficult enough to balance such a large turb
6、ine so high on a floating spar in the middle of the ocean. To make that turbine heavier, the whole spars center of gravity must be moved much closer to the oceans surface. To do that, the company plans to design a new kind of wind turbine, one whose gearbox (变速箱) sits at sea level rather than behind
7、 the blades. Hywind is a test run, but the benefits for perfecting floating wind-farm technology could be extremely large. Out at sea, the wind is often stronger and steadier than close to shore, where all existing offshore windmills are planted. Deep-sea farms are invisible from land, which helps o
8、vercome the windmill-as-eyesore objection. If the technology catches on, it will open up vast areas of the planets surface to one of the best low-carbon power sources available. 1. The Hywind project uses totally new technology to ensure the stability of . A. the cables which tie the spar to the oce

To balance a bigger turbine high on a floating spar, a new type of turbine is to be designed with its gearbox sitting . A. on the sea f

A. solve the technical problems of deepwater windmills B. make financial profits by producing more turbines C. settle the arguments about environmental problems D. explore low-carbo
11、n power resources available at sea B Mark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously. Jason was determined not to go against their fathers wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother. He loved experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his f
12、ather. “Dad will be really mad if he finds out youve been playing with his new computer.”Jason said,“He told us not to touch it.” “He wont find out,” Mark said,“Ill just have a quick look and shut it down.” Mark had been scolded before for touching his fathers equipment. But his curiosity was diffic
13、ult to control and this new computer really puzzled him. It was a strangelooking machineone his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked.“Its an experimental model,” his father had explained,“so dont touch it under any circumstances.” But his fathers warning only served to make Mark
14、more curious. Without any further thought,Mark turned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later,the screen turned into colors,shifting and changing and then two big white words appeared in the center of the screen:“SPACE TRANSPORTER.” “Yes!” Mark cried excitedly,“Its a comp

VOYAGER 2:.” Marks fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names. “INPUT ACCEPTED.START TRANSPORT PROGRAM. AUTORETRIEVE
16、INITIATED(自动回收程序已启动)” The screen turned even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume. “I think wed better shut it off,Mark,” Jason yelled,reaching for the power switch. He was really frightened. But his hand never reached the switch. A single beam of dazzling white light burst out of the comput
17、er screen,wrapping the boys in its glow(光芒),until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys were no longer there. On the screen,the letters changed. “TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL.DESTINATION: MARS.RETRIEVE DATE:2025.”4Why did Mark touch

C Researchers from France and Italy discovered that Canadian parents are less strict with their children than mothers and fathers in France and Italy. “Our most important finding was the difference between Ca
21、nadians and the others,” said Professor Michel Claes,the lead author of the study.“Canadians focus on independence and negotiation. On the other hand,Italians,for example,exercise more control. We found Canadians seem to focus on negotiation in case of a conflict.” Claes said Canada,France and Italy
22、 were selected for the study because they share important cultural and social factors.“We chose FrenchCanadians because they share the same language as France,and originally came from France and share certain values. Italy was included because it was considered to have similar,strong and important f
23、amily values,” he explained. The researchers examined the emotional ties between parents and their children by questioning 1,256 students aged 11 to 19 years old. Canadian students reported less control and more free actions,according to the study. Italian parents were stricter and French parents we
