three times.“They said I didnt meet the shows criteria(标准)because I didnt have an associate professor title，” said Han.Han，an international major who graduated from the University of International Business and Economics in 1998，has been studying and writing history for years.With only 30,000 yuan，Han recorded a 6hourlong video of himself lecturing on the Song Dynasty.Han shot the video in the Lecture Room format，using a simple setting，an offscreen voice and photo illustrations(说明)The video soon became a hit after Han posted it online in September.It was called the “copycat” version of Lecture Room.“I wanted to find a channel to make my voice heard，” Han said.“Since there were too few chances to do this in the traditional way，I tried to figure out a wild way，and it worked.”Han takes the word “copycat” as a compliment，rather than as criticism.“The word represents a grassroots movement，” he said.“It means ordinary people enjoying the same rights and.doing something that could only be done by the professionals before.”Han thinks his video is innovative(创新的)，even though it copies the format of the Lecture Room show.He points out that he wrote the lecture himself.“If you just copy，no one will be interested；you need to be creative，” Han said.He wants to give another lecture，on European history，which has never been dealt with on Lecture Room.“Next time，I want to use a different format.”1CCTV rejected Han because _.Ahe was an international majorBhe was not an associate professorChe studied history for only a few yearsDhis video was too

CCTV.BBecause he wanted to make his voice heard.CBecause he had no other way to do it.DBecause he thought the Internet is popular.答案：B解析：细节理解题。中央电视台曾三次拒绝了他的节目，根据第四段可知，他还是要想办法让人们听到他的声音，所以自费录制了节目并发在了网上。5What did Han Jiangxue think of peoples comment about his video?AHe thought they loved his video.BHe thought it was a criticism.CHe didnt take it seriously.DHe thought it as an encouragement.答案：A解析：推理判断题。根据第三段“The video soon became a hit.”和第四段“.it worked”以及第五段他对“山寨”的理解可知，他认为人们很喜欢他的讲演。hit意为“成功的事情”；work表示“起作用，行得通”。BTHE

network of sensors(传感器)to prevent spreading forest fires.What they learn could also raise the possibility of using trees as silent guards along the nations borders to discover potential threats such as smuggled(走私的)radioactive materials.The US.Forest Service currently predicts and tracks fires with a variety of tools，including remote automatic weather stations.But these stations are expensive and sparsely(稀疏地)distributed.Additional sensors could save trees by providing better local climate data to be used in fire prediction models and earlier warnings.However，recharging or replacing batteries by hand at very hardtoreach locations makes it impractical and costly.The new sensor system seeks to avoid this problem by developing trees into a selfsustaining power supply.Each sensor is equipped with a battery that can be slowly recharged using electricity produced by the tree.“A single tree doesnt generate a lot of power，but over time the trickle(细流)charge adds up，just like _” said Shuguang Zhang，one of the researchers on the project and the associate director of the MITs Center for Biomedical Engineering(CBE)The system produces enough electricity to allow the temperature and humidity sensors to wirelessly send out signals four times a day，or immediately if theres a fire.Each signal spreads from one sensor to another，until it reaches an existing weather station that sends the data by satellite to a forestry command center in Boise，Idaho.Scientists have long known that trees can produce extremely small amounts of electricity.But no one knew exactly how the energy was produced or how to take advantage of the power.11What are the disadvantages of the remote automatic weather stations?aThey cost too much.bThey are of poor quality.cThey are not enough.dThey cant reach remote

4 means that _.Aa single tree is enough to generate much powerBthe power from the tree cant be storedCtrees can generate enough power for our lifeDa tree can produce the electricity to meet the needs of a sensor答案：D解析：细节理解题。第四段中研究人员指出，一棵树产生不了多少能量，但随着时间的推移，细小的能量会不断增加，就像不断滴水的水龙头也能滴满一桶水一样，D项理解正确。14What would the author talk about after the last paragraph of the passage?AThe amount of electricity trees produce.BHow trees produce electricity.CTrees contribution to society.DThe research process of tree power.答案：B解析：推理判断题。文章最后一段最后一句提到没人确切地知道树怎么产生能量，也不知道人们如何利用这些能量，因而，下文会就此展开论述，故选B项。15What would be

implement(实施)The first is you find ways to reach out to others and the second is to construct ways in order for the people to find you and make connection with you.In order for you to reach out and touch the lives of others，you have to be a good person and a good employee.In that way your good reputation will follow naturally.Have a brief and concise(简明)message that you can share with

you，you must be open to them.Bear in mind that communication is a great opportunity to make an impact especially when you market yourself.You also communicate by what you are wearing.Know the
