参考答案

参考解析
解析：由前文的“the most ama2ing wonderg"及空前的“more”可推知答案。
空前说这些巨大的建筑结构值得赞美，空后又说它们可能被更新的建筑奇观超越，前 后语意有转折，故选B。surpas。意为“超越”。
with在这里表示伴随状况，指吉隆坡石油双塔有452米高。由后文的dominate（俯临） 可推知此处是说该建筑的高度，而不是指它建在高达452米的高地上，所以不能选D。选项 A、C放在这里则完全讲不通；很容易排除。
由后文的by a bridge和上下文可知此处是说这两座塔由一座桥连接起来。故选D。
由后文的office space可知此处是说吉隆坡石油双塔提供了很多办公空间。
由后文的“double-decker lifts（双层电梯）,and glass and steel sunshades（遮阳篷）”可知 这里是说这个建筑的特色。feature意为“特点，特色”。
这里是说米洛大桥修建的时候，它是世界上最高的桥。故选C。
reach表示“达到”，故B项符合语境。
这里表示缓解米洛的交通堵塞问题。relieve意为“缓解”，符合语境。
本文介绍的是世界上的建筑奇观，所以选most比较合适。
consist of意为“构成”，是固定搭配。这里指伊泰普大坝由一系列坝构成。
此处是一个定语从句，先行词是It（指伊泰普大坝），所以选which。
前文说伊泰普大坝形成了巴西和巴拉圭的自然边界，所以这里应该是说伊泰普大坝是 两国间的联合项目。
由上文中的“The dam is well-known for both its electricity output...”可推知答案，且根据 常识，大坝通常是防洪发电的，所以选B。
前文从发电量、大小、使用钢铁量等方面介绍了伊泰普大坝的不同寻常，后面是amazingwonder之类的溢美之词，所以选D比较合适。

考题 共用题干 Learning DisabilitiesLearning disabilities are very common.They affect perhaps 1 0 percent of all children.Four times as many boys as girls have learning disabilities.Since about 1970,new research has helped brain scientists understand these problems better.Scientists now know there are many different kinds of learning disabilities and that they are caused by many different things.There is no longer any question that all learning disabilities result from differences in the way the brain is organized.You cannot look at a child and tell if he or she has a learning disability.There is no outward sign of the disorder.So some researchers began looking at the brain itself to learn what might be wrong.In one study,researchers examined the brain of a learning-disabled person who had died in an accident. They found two unusual things.One involved cells in the left side of the brain,which control language.These cells normally are white.In the learning disabled person,however,these cells were gray.The researchers also found that many of the nerve cells were not in a line the way they should have been.The nerve cells were mixed together.The study was carried out under the guidance of Norman Geschwind,an early expert on learning disabilities, Doctor Geschwind proposed that learning disabilities resulted mainly from problems in the left side of the brain. He believed this side of the brain failed to develop normally.Probably,he said,nerve cells there did not connect as they should.So the brain was like an electrical device in which the wires were crossed.Other researchers did not examine brain tissue.Instead,they measured the brain's electrical activity and made a map of the electrical signals.Frank Dully experimented with this technique at Children's Hospital Medical Center in Boston.Doctor Dully found large differences in the brain activity of normal children and those with reading problems.The differences appeared throughout the brain.Doctor Dully said his research is evidence that disabilities involve damage to a wide area of the brain,not just the left side.Scientists found that the brain cells of a learning-disabled person differ from those of a normal person in______.A:structure and functionB:color and functionC:size and arrangementD:color and arrangement

考题 共用题干 第一篇What's NASDAQ?NASDAQ is a familiar but strange name for people.We often learn its news via different kinds of media,though quite a lot of people can not tell what exactly it means.NASDAQ,short for the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations system,is one of the largest market in the world for stocks trading. The number of companies in NASDAQ is more than that of the other stock exchange in America,including the New York Stock Exchange(NYSE)and the American Stock Exchange(AMEX).Most of the companies listed on NASDAQ are smaller than most of those on the NYSE and AMEX.NASDAQ has become recognized as the home of new technology companies,especially computer and computer-related businesses.Trading on NASDAQ is initiated by stock brokers acting on behalf of their clients.The brokers negotiate with market makers who concentrate on trading specific stocks to reach a price for the stock.Different from other stock exchange,NASDAQ has no central location where trading takes place.Instead,its market makers can be found all over the country and make trades by telephone and via the Internet. Since brokers and market makers trade stocks directly instead of on the floor of a stock exchange,NASDAQ is called an over-the-counter market. The term over-the-counter refers to the direct nature of the trading,as in a store where goods are handed over a counter.Since its foundation in 1971,the NASDAQ Stock Market has been the innovator. As the world's first electronic stock market,NASDAQ long ago set a precedent for technological trading innovation that is unrivaled.Now poised to become the world's first truly global market,the NASDAQ Stock Market is the market of choice for business industry leaders worldwide.By providing an efficient environment for raising capital NASDAQ has helped thousands of companies achieve their desired growth and successfully make the leap into public ownership.What does the passage mainly tell us?A:The history of NASDAQ.B:The difference between NASDAQ and other stock exchanges.C:How NASDAQ is managed.D:The general information about NASDAQ.

考题 共用题干 Better Solar Energy Systems: More Heat, More LightSolar photovoltaic thermal energy systems,or PVTs,generate both heat and electricity,but until now they haven't been very good at the heat-generating part compared to a stand-alone solar thermal collector. That's because they operate at low temperatures to cool crystalline silicon solar cells,which lets the silicon generate more electricity but isn't a very efficient way to gather heat.That's a problem of economics. Good solar hot-water systems can harvest much more energy than a solar-electric system at a substantially lower cost. And it's also a space problem:photovol-taic cells can take up all the space on the roof,leaving little room for thermal applications.In a pair of studies,Joshua Pearce,an associate professor of materials science and engineer-ing,has devised a solution in the form of a better PVT made with a different kind of silicon.His research collaborators are Kunal Girotra from Thin Silicon in California and Michael Pathak and Stephen Harrison from Queen's University,Canada.Most solar panels are made with crystalline silicon,but you can also make solar cells out of amorphous silicon,commonly known as thin-film silicon.They don't create as much electricity, but they are lighter,flexible,and cheaper. And,because they require much less silicon,they have a greener footprint. Unfortunately,thin-film silicon solar cells are vulnerable to some bad-news physics in the form of the Staebler-Wronski effect."That means that their efficiency drops when you expose them to light-pretty much the worst possible effect for a solar cell,"Pearce explains,which is one of the reasons thin-film solar panels make up only a small fraction of the market.However,Pearce and his team found a way to engineer around the Staebler-Wronski effect by incorporating thin-film silicon in a new type of PVT. You don't have to cool down thin-film silicon to make it work.In fact,Pearce's group discovered that by heating it to solar-thermal operating temperatures,near the boiling point of water,they could make thicker cells that largely overcame the Staebler-Wronski effect. When they applied the thin-fulm silicon directly to a solar thermal en-ergy collector,they also found that by baking the cell once a day,they boosted the solar cell's e-lectrical efficiency by over 10 percent. One of the problems PVTs have is that______.A: their thermal applications are costlyB: they are too expensive to affordC: they occupy too much spaceD: it is hard to fix them on the roof

考题 共用题干 Green Energy1.Green energy is energy that is produced in a manner that has, less of a negative impact to the environment than energy sources like fossil fuels,which are often produced with harmful side effects."Greener" types of energy that often come to mind are solar,wind,geothermal and hydro energy.There are several more,even including nuclear energy,that is sometimes considered a green energy source because of its lower waste output relative to energy sources such as coal or oil.2.The goal of green energy is generally to create power with as little pollution as possible produced as a by-product. Every form of energy collection will result in some pollution,but those that are green are known to cause less than those that are not. Most people who advocate greener sources of energy claim that the result of worldwide use of green energy will result in the ability to preserve the planet for a longer time.Greenhouse gases,a by-product of traditional sources of energy such as fossil fuels are thought to be causing global warming,or the process of the Earth heating up at an accelerated pace.3.It is not completely necessary for green energy sources to come from places like solar or wind fields,which are examples of green"power plants".A green energy source can be a building that is designed in a way that it keeps itself cool in the daytime and heated in the night through its architectural design rather than having an air-conditioning or a heating system. The conservation of energy through architectural（建筑学的）design becomes, itself, a green energy source. Similarly, many sources of green energy can come directly from the area in which the energy is needed rather than from an outside source.4.One of the goals of green energy technology is to take existing fossil fuel energy technology and clean it up so it is produced more cleanly. One such case is that of clean coal technology,where scientists are trying to find ways to extract energy from coal and other fossil fuels without all of the harmful side effects.The success of such these types of green energy depend upon the ability to extract harmful by-products from fossil fuels while not only being energy efficient,but by being cost efficient as well.Paragraph 4______A:Why Do We Develop Green Energy?B:What Is the Goal of Green Energy?C:What Is the Weakness of Green Energy?D:What Is a Green Energy?E:How Much Does the Green Energy Cost Every Year?F: How Many Kinds of Green Energy We Can Take Use of?
