Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the42of it!When I first started43 the practice sessions,I didn’t even know the rules of the game,much44what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get45and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid. 46,I wasn’t the only one“new”at the game,so I decided to47on learning the game,do my best at each practice session,and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t48“just yet”.
I practiced and practiced.Soon I knew the49and the“moves”.Being part of a team was fun and motivating.Very soon the competitive50in me was winning over my lack of confidence.With time,I learned how to play and made friends in the51—friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player.I never had so much fun!
With my52self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates.I have gone from“53”in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself,54raising my hand—even when I sometimes wasn’t and not100percent55I had the right answer.Now I have more self-confidence in myself.

“I Went Skydiving at84!”
As a young girl growing up in the1930s,I always wanted to fly a plane,but back then it was almost unheard of for a woman to do that.I got a taste of that dream in2011,when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday.But the experience turned out to be very dull.Around that time,I told my husband that I wanted to skydive.So when our retirement community（社区）announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have,I decided to write about my dream.
In the essay,I wrote about my desire to skydive,stating George Brush Sr.did it at age80.Why not me?I was just84and in pretty good health.A year went by and I heard nothing.But then at a community party in late April2009,they announced that I was one of the winners.I just couldn’t believe it.Inspired by this.I deeided to realize my dream,even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.
On June11,2009,nearly40of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane.My instructor,Jay,guided me through the experience.The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in,but I wasn’t frightened—I was really just looking forward to the experience.When we reached13,000feet,Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane.When we first hit the air,the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe.For a second I thought,“What have I gotten myself into?”But then everything got calmer.We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute（降落伞）,then we just floated downward for about five minutes.Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt—much better than the hot air ballon.I was just enjoying it.
Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life.I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don’t stop living just because you are84years old.If there’s something you want to experience,look into it.If it’s something that is possible,make it happen.

Students and Technology in the Classroom
I love my blackberry—it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me.I also love my laptop computer，as it holds all of my writing and thoughts.Despite this love of technology,I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices（设备）and truly communicate with others.
On occasion,I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers.My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas.Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom,I have a rule—no laptop,iPads,phones,etc.When students were told my rule in advance of the class,some of them were not happy.
Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology.There’s a bit of truth to that.Some students assume that I am anti-technology.There’s no truth in that at all.I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas.Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas.I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas.I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course the material and the class discussion.
I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student
satisfaction with the environment that I create.Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.
I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class,but until I hear a really good reason for the change,I’m sticking to my plan.A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.
63.Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with____
A.the course material
B.others’misuse of technology
C.discussion topics
D.the author’s class regulations
64.The underlined word“engage”in para.4probably means____
A.explore
B.accept
C.change
D.reject
65.According to the author,the use of technology in the classroom may____
A.keep students from doing independent thinking
B.encourage students to have in-depth conversations
C.help students to better understand complex themes
D.affect students’concentration on course evaluation
66.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author____
A.is quite stubborn
B.will give up teaching history
C.will change his teaching plan soon
D.values technology-free dialogues in his class
D
As the railroads and the highways shaped the American West in the past centuries,a new electrical generating（发电）and transmission（输送）system for the21st century will leave a lasting mark on the West,for better or worse.Much of the real significance of railroads and highways is not in their direct physical effect on the scenery,but in the ways that they affect the surrounding community.The same is true of big solar plants and the power lines that will be laid down to move electricity around.
The19th century saw land grants（政府拨地）offered to railroad companies to build the transcontinental railroads,leaving public land in between privately owned land.In much of the west, some of the railroad sections were developed while others remained undeveloped,and in both cases the landownership has presented unique challenges to land management.With the completion or the interstate highway system,many of the small towns which sprang up as railway stops and developed well,have lost their lifeblood and died.
Big solar plants and their power lines will also have effects far beyond their direct footprint in the West.This is not an argument against building them,we need alternative energy badly,and to really take advantage of it we need to be able to move electricity around far more readily than we can now.
So trade-offs will have to be made.Some scenic sport will be sacrificed.Some species（物种）will be forced to move,or will be carefully moved to special accommodations.Deals will be stuck to reduce the immediate effects.
The lasting effects of these trade-offs are another matter.The21st century development of the American West as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and money to do a lot of good.But is\t is just as likely that they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind,just like the railroad and the highway.
The money set aside in negotiated trade-offs and the institution that control will shape the west far beyond the immediate footprint of power plants and transmission lines.So let’s remember the effects of the railroad and the highways as we construct these new power plants in the West.
67.What was the problem caused by the construction of the railways?
A.Small towns along the railways became abandoned.
B.Some railroad stops remained underused.
https://www.doczj.com/doc/da8031279.html,nd in the West was hard to manage.
https://www.doczj.com/doc/da8031279.html,nd grants went into private hands.
68.What is the major concern in the development of alternative energy according to the last two paragraphs?
A.The transmission of power.
B.The use of money and power.
C.The conservation of solar energy.
D.The selection of an ideal place.
69.What is the author‘s attitude towards building solar plants?
A.Cautious
B.Approving
C.Doubtful
D.Disapproving
70.Which is the best title for the passage?
A.How the Railways Have Affected the West
B.How Solar Energy Could Reshape the West
C.How the Effects of Power Plants Can Be Reduced
D.How the Problems of the Highways Have Been Settled

Public speaking and critical thinking
What is critical thinking?To a certain degree,it’s a matter of logic(逻辑)—of being able to spot weaknesses in other people’s argument and to avoid them in your own,it also includes related skills such as distinguishing fact from opinion and assessing the soundness of evidence.
In the broad sense,critical thinking is focused,organized thinking—the ability to see clearly their relationships among ideas.71The greatest thinkers,scientists and inventors have often taken their information that was readily available and put it together differently to produce new ideas that,too,is critical thinking.
72As the class goes on,for example,you will probably spend a good deal of time organizing your speeches.While this may seem like a purely mechanical(机械的)exercise,it is closely connected with critical thinking.If the structure of your speech is loose and confused,chances are that your thinking is also disordered and confused.If,on the other hand,the structure is clear,there is a good chance your thinking is https://www.doczj.com/doc/da8031279.html,anizing a speech is not a matter of arranging the ideas you already have.73
What is true of organization is true of many aspects of public speaking.74As you work on expressing your ideas in clear,accurate language,you will improve your ability to think clearly and accurately.75As you learn to listen critically to speeches in class.You will be better able to assess the ideas of speakers in a variety of situations.
If you take full advantage of your speech class,you will be able to develop your skills as critical thinker in many circumstances.This is one reason public speaking has been regarded as a vital part of education since the days of ancient Greece.
A.Rather,it is an important part of shaping the ideas themselves.
B.This may seem like a lot of time,but the rewards are well worth it.
C.It may also help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech.
D.It has often been said that there are few new ideas in the world,only reorganized ideas.
E.If you are wondering what this has to do with your public speaking class,the answer is quite a lot.
F.The skills you learn in your speech class can help you become a more effective thinker in a number of ways.
G.As you study the role of evidence and reasoning in speechmaking,you will see how they can be used in other forms of communication as well.

Well,we are now looking at ways to make shopping less tiring.You know,a day at the shops wears people out.And we considered a number of ideas.⒀Carrying shopping around is very tiring,and we looked at ways to avoid that.We thought of hiring out small electrically driven cars to shoppers,but we came up against problems of space.There just isn’t enough room.We also thought about those moving walk ways,like the ones you see at the airports.⒁We decided it against then though,because they require a major redesign of the whole center.What we have actually come up with is a new technology where you but what you want and then just leave it on the shelf.That way,you don’t need to carry your heavy shopping around with you all day.⒂When you want to go home,our computer system automatically sends everything you’ve bought to your exit point,and you pick it up there.

【解答】答案：D．通过时间状语"before the Second World War"可判断是过去的过去，所以用过去完成时态；另外，Experiments与conduct之间是被动关系，所以本题要用过去完成时的被动语态．
【点评】考查这类考点时，要注意句中的时间状语，以确定用什么时态，然后判断相关名词和动词之间的关系，是主动关系用主动语态，如果是被动关系，而且动词是及物动词，则用被动语态．
22．（1分）____Barbara Jones offers to her fans is honesty and happiness．（）
A．Which B．What C．That D．Whom
【考点】58：连接代词．
【分析】Barbara所能提供给她的粉丝的是诚实和快乐．
【解答】答案：B．主要考查连接代词，主语从句等考点的理解．Barbara Jones offers to her fans是主语从句，在句中作主语，offer sb sth给某人某物=offer sth to sb，从句中缺少宾语，所以用连接代词what．在主语从句中that只能做连词，不充当任何成分，代词what在句中作offer的宾语，指代后面的honesty and happiness．
【点评】在选择名词性从句的连接词时，要注意分析从句的句子成分，如果不缺任何成分，也没有任何疑问，则用that，如果缺少某个成分，根据需要选择恰当的连接词．
23．（1分）Tom____in the library every night over the last three months．（）
A．works B．worked
C．has been working D．had been working
【考点】EA：现在完成进行时．【分析】句意：在过去的三个月里，Tom每晚都在图书馆里工作．
【解答】答案C．句中时间状语over the last three months通常与现在完成时连用，所以排除A、B 和D选项．此处强调"Tom每晚在图书馆工作"这个动作从过去的三个月就开始一直持续到现在，还有可能会持续下去，因此用现在完成进行时，故选C．
【点评】.本题考查时态的用法．解答此类题目的关键是要读懂句意，分析上下文的语境，判断时态，锁定答案．
24．（1分）﹣I don't really like Jams．Why did you invite him？
﹣Don't worry．He____come．He said he wasn't certain what his plans were．（）
A．must not B．need not C．would not D．might not
【考点】A6：情态动词．
【分析】句意：﹣﹣我真的不喜欢Jams，你为什么邀请他？﹣﹣别担心，他可能不来，他说他不确定自己的计划是什么．
【解答】答案D．mustn't"禁止，不允许"；needn't"没必要，不需要"；wouldn't"不愿意"；might not"
可能不"，根据句意，他还不确定自己的计划，说明"不确定性"，他可能不来，故选D．
【点评】本题考查情态动词的用法，结合具体的语境，选择正确选项．
25．（1分）It's important for the figures___regularly．（）
A．to be undated B．to have been updated
C．to update D．to have updated
【考点】B8：不定式的被动式．
【分析】句意：经常更新数据是很重要的．
【解答】答案：A．
分析句子结构可知，动词update（更新）的逻辑主语是the figures（数据），它们之间构成动宾关系，the figures应该是被update，所以应该用被动式，排除C、D；再根据句子中的副词regularly 可知，此处应该用动词不定式的一般式的被动式，即to be updated，故A正确．
【点评】本题考查的是不定式的被动式．做题时，先找不定式的逻辑主语，看它们之间是主动还是被动关系，确定语态；然后再看不定式所表示的动作跟主句的谓语动词之间的先后关系，确定时态．
26．（1分）Mary was much kinder to Jack than she was to the others，___，of course，made all the others upset．（）
A．who B．which C．what D．that
【考点】59：关系代词．
【分析】玛丽对杰克比对其他人好得多，这一点使得其他人很沮丧．
【解答】答案B．选项Awho如果先行词是人时可以用，这里不是修饰句子中的人的，所以不可用；
选项B的which是关系代词，引导非限制性定语从句，指Mary was much
kinder to Jack than she was to the others整件事，代替先行句，要求用逗号隔开．选项C what不能引导定语从句；选项Dthat可以引导定语从句，有逗号是不可以用的，所以应该选择B．
【点评】做这类题目，要首先分析句子的成分，然后结合句意及选项的用法、意义做出选择．
27．（1分）That must have been a long trip．
Yeah，it___us a whole week yet there．（）
A．takes B．had taken C．took D．was taking
【考点】E2：一般过去时．
【分析】句意：﹣﹣那一定是很长的旅程．﹣﹣是的，我们花了一周时间才到．
【解答】答案C．must have done"表示对过去情况的判断"，所以it___us a whole week to get there．是在陈述过去的一个事实，要用过去时．故选C．
【点评】本题是中档题，考查一般过去时，"that must have been a long trip"是本题的突破点，说明是过去发生的事情，因此时态的题目要结合上下文的语境．
28．（1分）Where are the children？The dinner's going to be completely ruined．﹣I wish they___always late．（）
A．weren't B．hadn't been
C．wouldn't he D．wouldn't have been
【考点】GJ：虚拟语气．
【分析】句意：﹣﹣孩子们在哪？这顿饭就要被毁掉了．﹣我希望他们不要总是迟到．
【解答】答案A．wish后面接的宾语从句用虚拟语气．如果与现在事实相反，用一般过去时，be 要变成were；如果与过去事实相反，用过去完成时，如果与将来事实相反用would/could/might+V 原形．根据句意，我希望他们不要总是迟到，是与现在的事实相反，故选A．
【点评】本题考查wish的虚拟语气，需要掌握wish与现在，过去，将来虚拟时的具体用法．
29．（1分）___volleyball is her main focus，she's also great at basketball．（）
A．Since B．Once C．Unless D．While
【考点】92：从属连词．
【分析】尽管排球是她的主要兴趣所在，但她还擅长篮球．
【解答】答案D．选项A Since"自从"；选项B once"一旦"选项C unless"除非"；选项D while"虽然，尽管"．根据句意，可知应该选择D．
【点评】做这类题目，应该结合句意以及选项的意义、用法做出选择．
30．（1分）May be if I___science，and not literature then．I would be able to give your more help．（）A．studied B．would study C．had studied D．was studying
【考点】GJ：虚拟语气．
【分析】句意：如果那时我学的是科学而不是文学的话，那么我就可以给你提供更多的帮助．
【解答】答案C．本题考查的是错综虚拟语气，从句与过去的事实相反，所以用had done，主句与现在的事实相反，用would+动词原形．故选C．
【点评】本题考查虚拟语气，要结合具体的语境选择出正确选项．
31．（1分）The shocking news made me realize____terrible problems we would face．（）A．what B．how C．that D．why
【考点】58：连接代词．
【分析】句意为：这条令人震惊的消息让我意识到我们将面临多么可怕的问题．
【解答】答案：A本题考查感叹句作宾语从句．感叹句中what所修饰的中心词是名词或名词短语，how所修饰的中心词是形容词或副词．此题中空格处后面部分的中心词是名词problems，所以用what．
【点评】分析句子结构可知，动词realize后的宾语从句中，结构为"感叹词what+adj．+n．+陈述句的语序，如果用how，句子需要作改动：…how terribe the problems were．
32．（1分）﹣Bob has gone to California．
﹣Oh，can you tell me when he___？（）
A．had left B．left C．is leaving D．would leave
【考点】E2：一般过去时．
【分析】句意：﹣鲍勃已经去了加利福利亚﹣﹣哦，你能告诉我他什么时候走的？
【解答】答案B．根据句意，他已经去了加利福利亚，说明"走"这个动作已经是过去了．结合语境可知tell后面的宾语从句强调的是过去的某个动作，所以用一般过去时态．故选B．
【点评】本题考查的是一般过去时，要根据对话内容了解具体的语境选择出正确答案．
33．（1分）Sit down．Emma．You will only make yourself more worried，____on your feet．（）A．to keep B．keeping C．having kept D．to have kept
【考点】B3：现在分词．
【分析】句意：Emma，你坐下，老这么站着你会累的．
【解答】答案B．分析句子结构可知，"You will only make yourself more tired"是主句，逗号之后应
该是非谓语动词形式．主句中的主语"you"与"keep on your feet"是主动关系，因此应该用现在分词，排除A和D项．C项是现在分词的完成式，表示"一直站着"这个动作发生在"使自己累"动作之前，在本题中用现在分词一般式做伴随状语，表示动作与主句动作同时发生，因此B项符合，故选B．
【点评】本题考查非谓动词用法．解答此类题目首先要读懂句意分析句子结构，判断是谓语还是非谓语，如果是分词做状语的时候，看动词与逻辑主语构成主动关系，就使用现在分词的形式；
如果二者构成被动关系就使用过去分词的形式．
34．（1分）The employment rate has continued to rise in big cities thanks to the efforts of the local governments to increase___．（）
A．them B．those C．it D．that
【考点】51：人称代词．
【分析】句意：多亏了政府不断努力去提高就业率，就业率在大城市持续增长．
【解答】答案C．them指代上文出现的复数名词；those指代可数名词复数形式；it指代上文出现的同一事物；that指代不同数名词或者可数名词单数，后面必须有定语修饰．根据句意：本题的it指代上文的the employment rate．故选C．
【点评】本题考查代词的辨析，要熟悉相关代词的用法，再结合句意选择出正确的选项．
35．（1分）With new technology，pictures of underwater valleys can be taken___color．（）A．by B．for C．with D．in
【考点】83：方式介词．
【分析】借助新技术，水下的山谷可以被拍成彩色照片．
【解答】本题选D A by colour按照颜色；B for color无此搭配C with colour带有色彩D in colour 彩色的，多色的结合意思，故选D
【点评】考查介词的习惯搭配，需要弄懂各个选项的意思，根据句意再判断正确选项．

“I Went Skydiving at84!”
As a young girl growing up in the1930s，I always wanted to fly a plane，but back then it was almost unheard of for a woman to do that．I got a taste of the dream in2001，when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday．But the experience turned out to be very dull．Around that time，I told my husband that I wanted to skydive．So when our retirement community（社区）
announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have．I decided to write about my dream．
In the essay，I wrote about my desire to skydive，stating Gorge Bush Sr．did it at age80．Why not me？I was just84and in pretty good health．A year went by and I heard nothing．But then at a community party in late April2009，they announced that I was one of the winners．I just couldn't believe it．Inspired by this．I decided to realize my dream，even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it．
On June11，2009，nearly40of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane．My instructor，Jay，guided me through the experience．The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in，but I wasn't frightened﹣I was really just looking forward to the experience．When we reached13，000feet，Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane．When we first hit the air，the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe．For a second I thought，"What have I gotten myself into？"But then everything got calmer．We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute（降落伞），then we just floated downward for about five minutes．Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt﹣much better than the hot air balloon．I was just enjoying it．
Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life．I hope other people will look at me and really one of the greatest experiences of my life．I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don't stop living just because you are84years old．If there's something you want to experience，look into it．If it's something that is possible，make it happen．

Students and Technology in the Classroom
I love my Blackberry﹣it's my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me．I also love my laptop computer，as it holds all of my writing and thoughts．Despite this love of technology，I know that there are times when I need to move away from there devices（设备）and truly communicate with others．
On occasion，I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers．My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas．Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom，I have a rule﹣no laptops，iPads，etc．When students were told my rule in advance of the class，some of them were not happy．
Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology．There's a bit of truth to that．Some students assume that I am anti﹣technology．There's no truth in that at all．I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students．
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations and truly engagecomplex ideas．Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on out information for ideas．I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas．I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between the course material and the class discussion．I've been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create．Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge，they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom I'm not saying that I won't ever change my mind about technology use in my history class，but until I hear a really good reason for the change，I'm sticking to my plan．A few hours of technology﹣free dialogue is just too sweet to give up．63．Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with D．
A．the course material
B．others'misuse of technology
C．discussion topics
D．the author's class regulations
64．The underlined word"engage"in Para.4probably means A．
A．explore
B．accept
C．change
D．reject
65．According to the author，the use of technology in the classroom may A．
A．keep students from doing independent thinking
B．encourage students to have in﹣depth conversations
C．help students to better understand complex themes
D．affect students'concentration on course evaluation
66．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author D．
A．is quite stubborn
B．will give up teaching history
C．will change his teaching plan soon
D．values technology﹣free dialogues in his class．

D
As the railroads and the highways shaped the American West in the past centuries，a new electrical generating（发电）and transmission（输送）system for the21th century will leave a lasting mark on the West，for better or worse．Much of the real significance of railroads and highways is not in their direct physical effect on the scenery，but in the ways that they affect the surrounding community．The same is true of big solar plants and the power lines that will be laid down to move electricity around．The19th century saw land grants（政府拨地）offered to railroad companies to build the transcontinental railroads，leaving public land in between privately owned land．In much of the West，some of the railroad sections were developed while others remained undeveloped，and in both cases the landownership has presented unique challenges to land management．With the completion of the interstate highway system，many of the small towns，which sprang up as railway stops and developed well，have lost their lifeblood and died．
Big solar plants and their power lines will also have effects far beyond their direct footprint in the West．This is not an argument against building them．We need alternative energy badly，and to really take advantage of it we need to be able to move electricity around far more readily than we can now．So trade﹣offs will have to be made．Some scenic spots will be sacrificed．Some species（物种）will be forced to move，or will be carefully moved to special accommodations．Deals will be struck to reduce the immediate effects．
The lasting effects of these trade﹣offs are another matter．The21th century development of the American West as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and money in the region．There are chances for that power and money to do a lot of good．But it is just as likely that they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind，just like the railroads and the highways．
The money set aside in negotiated trade﹣offs and the institutions that control it will shape the West far beyond the immediate footprint of power plants and transmission lines．So let's remember the effects of the railroads and the highways as we construct these new power plants in the West．
67．What was the problem caused by the construction of the railways？C
A．Small towns along the railways became abandoned．
B．Some railroad stops remained underused．
C．Land in the West was hard to manage．
D．Land grants went into private hands．
68．What is the major concern in the development of alternative energy according to the last two paragraphs？B
A．The transmission of power．
B．The use of money and power．
C．The conservation of solar energy．
D．The selection of an ideal place．
69．What is the author's attitude towards building solar plants？A
A．Cautious
B．Approving
C．Doubtful
D．Disapproving
70．Which is the best title for the passage？B
A．How the Railways Have Affected the West
B．How Solar Energy Could Reshape the West
C．How the Effects of Power Plants Can Be Reduced
D．How the Problems of the Highways Have Been Settled．

【分析】本文是一篇说明文．文章主要介绍的是一种新型的太阳能装置是否能重新塑造出美国西部的新的发展，人们对于新型的能源很渴望，但是也有很多的担心．太阳能在西部的利用会用什么样的影响，是否可能和高速公路和铁路一样，对美国西部的发展造成的了有好也有坏的影响．【解答】
67．C细节理解题．根据第二段的In much of the West，some of the railroad sectionswere developed while others remained undeveloped，and in both cases thelandownership has presented unique challenges to land management．可知，铁路建设所引起的问题是西部的土地难以管理，故选C．68．B细节理解题．根据倒数第二段的There are chances for that power and money to do a lot of good．But it is just as likely that they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind，可知人们很担心能源和金钱没有被正确地使用，而是被浪费掉了，故选B．
69．A作者态度题．作者由铁路和高速公路在西部建设过程中出现的好的和坏的影响来说明太阳能发电厂在西部建设也会出现同样的问题．所以作者的态度很谨慎，故选A．
70．B主旨大意题．本文主要讲述的就是新型的太阳能是否能重新塑造出西部的新的发展，人们对于新型的能源很渴望，但是也有很多的担心．故选B．
【点评】这篇文章考查了细节题，主旨题，作者态度题，其中作者观点态度题的解题方法要求考生通过在文中寻找带有感情色彩的词来判断作者的态度外，有时还需要综合运用一些阅读方法，如：根据文章中与问题相关的细节做出判断，根据作者提供的例证推断其暗示的态度、观点，：
作者的态度和立场一般分为三大类：支持、赞同、乐观；客观、中立；反对、批评、怀疑、悲观．，需要同学们通读全文并把握文章的主旨，最后做出正确的选择．

Public speaking and critical thinking
What is critical thinking？To a certain degree，it's a matter of logic（逻辑）﹣of being able to spot weaknesses in other people's arguments and to avoid them in your own．It also includes related skills such as distinguishing fact from opinion and assessing the soundness of evidence．
In the broad sense，critical thinking is focused，organized thinking﹣the ability to see clearly the relationships among ideas．（1）D The greatest thinkers，scientists，and inventors have often taken information that was readily available put it together differently to produce new ideas．That，too，is critical thinking．
（2）E As the class goes on，for example，you will probably spend a good deal of time organizing your speeches．While this may seem like a purely mechanical（机械的）exercise，it is closely connected with critical thinking．If the structure of your speech is loose and confused，chances are that your thinking is also disordered and confused．If，on the other hand，the structure is clear，there is a good chance your thinking is too．Organizing a speech is not just a matter of arranging the ideas you already have（3）A．
What is true of organization is true of many aspects of public speaking．（4）F As you work on expressing your ideas in clear，accurate language，you will improve your ability to think clearly and accurately．（5）G As you learn to listen critically to speeches in class，you will be better able to assess the ideas of speakers in a variety of situations．
If you take full advantage of your speech class，you will be able to develop your skills as a critical thinker in many circumstances．This is one reason public speaking has been regarded as a vital part of education since the days of ancient Greece．

During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport. He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one. Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath. My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend. That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people.We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way. 1.What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney? A.Go shopping B.Find a house C.Join his family D.Take his family 2.The girl’s parents got Rashid’s phone number from_______. A.a friend of his family

B Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid is used to grilling guests on the sofa every morning,but she is cooking up a storm in her latest role-showing families how to prepare delicious and nutritious meals on a tight budget. In Save Money: Good Food,she visits a different home each week and with the help of chef Matt Tebbutt offers top tips on how to reduce food taste,while preparing recipes for under ￡5 per family a day.And the Good Morning Britain presenter says she’s been able to put a lot of what she’s learnt into practice in her own home,preparing meals for sons,Sam,14,Finn,13,and Jack,11. “We love Mexican churros, so I buy them on my phone from my local Mexican takeaway restaurant,”she explains. “I pay ￡5 for a portion(一份),but Matt makes them for 26p a portion, because they are flour, water, sugar and oil. Everybody can buy takeaway food,but sometimes we’re not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves.” The eight-part series(系列节目),Save Money:Good Food,follows in the footsteps of ITV’s Save Money:Good Health,which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health products on the market. With food our biggest weekly household expense,Susanna and Matt spend time with a different family each week.In tonight’s Easter special they come to the aid of a family in need of some delicious inspiration on a budget.The team transforms the family’s long weekend of celebration with less expensive but still tasty recipes. 24.What do we know about Susanna Reid?

2020年高考英语模拟卷及答案解析 （全国卷） 第二部分阅读理解(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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A． Kids' imaginations are in overdrive when it comes to composing Christmas lists - as they ask for a live walrus（海象）, the power of invisibility（隐身） and Taylor Swift. Christmas is less than two months away, and little ones are already planning their letters to Santa. But one survey has revealed the weirdest items to turn up on Christmas lists, and they include mythical monsters and mega-selling pop stars. Conducted by GAME, the study also reveals a significant break from festive tradition when it comes to writing wish lists. One in three, 29%, children now use technology such as iPads or mobile phones instead of the traditional pen and paper, while a further one in five (19%) will rely on parents to take note of all the things they point at during TV adverts and during trips to the shops. With more than three million lists likely to be drafted, parents are prepared for a flurry of requests including many that even Santa would struggle to achieve. As part of the study, parents were asked to reveal some of the weird and wonderful items that made it onto their child's Christmas lists. Fred Prego, marketing director at GAME, says: "Choosing what to get your kids at Christmas can be a bit of a minefield(雷区).” As the research shows, most kids will be making note of the things that they want this half term and a lot of lists are going to be written." 21.
