2011高考英语阅读理解分类汇编之新闻报道类1.（2011山东卷）DSince the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Brain-computer interface(BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.Recently, two researchers, Jose Milan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic school in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated（展示）a small robotic wheelchair directed by a persons thoughts.In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right band. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.“our brain has billions of nerve ceils. These send signals through the spinal cord （脊髓）to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles,” Tavella says. “Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.”The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain. Prof. Milan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands. “The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices. One example is this wheelchair.”He says his team has set two goals. One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.A. help to update computer systems B. link the human brain with computersC. help the disabled to recover D. control a persons thoughts 72. How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory? A. By controlling his muscles. B. By talking to the machine. C. By moving his hand. D. By using his mind.73.

Edinburgh is faced with the problem of dssposing of(处理)about250,000Million tons of waster a year . Despite different ways to dispose of much of it in a green manner-largely through encouraging tecycling-its aging facilities such as the Powderhall landfill do not have the ability to deal with it. The European Union(EU) has issued a new policy, regulating how such mountains of waster are to hr disposed of. The five councils (Edinburgh. East Lothian. West Lothian. Midlethian and Borders) face fine around $18million a year from 2013 it they dont inerease recycling levels and rely less on landfill. With this in mind, the coumlls got together with the idea of building a lage incinerator plant (垃圾焚烧厂)to burn half of the waste produced in their districts. But the plan fell apart after the change of target levels by a new UK government waste policy which required that no more than 25% of the citys waste should be disposed of in this way by 2025.After the plan was abandoned, a private company which already transported millions of tons of the citys wast by train to a landfill site near Dunbar, offered an alternative soution when it suggested opening a huge waste site near Portobello.Since Powderhall is supposed to close in 2015, it seemed necessary for the members of the Edinburgh Council to accept the suggestion. But soon they turned it downafter 700 local objections reached thembecause it would have meant hundreds of lorries a day making loud noise through heavily populated areas.That still leaves eth council with a problem. By 2013,only50%of 1995 levels of waste will benllewed to be sent to landfill. Even if recveling large are met, there will still be a large amount of rubbish to be burnt up. Due build an Edinburgh and Midlothian councils have now decided to work together to build an ineinerator plant as time to find a solution is fast running out.59. The main way of handling waste in a green manmer in Edinburgh is .A. recyeling B. restoring C. burying D. burning60. The five councils worked out a plan to build an incinerator plant to .A. reduce the roast of burying waste B. meets the EU requirements C. speed up waste recycling D. tempter landfill sites 61. The city council of Edinburgh rejected the suggestion to open a huge landfill site near Portobello because .A. a name from a private company B. the comelier was not interested in it C. it was not supports by EUD. the local poodle was waist it 62. What is the final dream an Edinburgh and Midlothian Country? A. To open a new landfill nearby B. To close the powder hall landfill in 2015C. To set up a plan for burning wasteD.

Actually, the past decade has seen more and more forests disppearing and the globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unheathy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable(可持续的)ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the healthy while using its supply of natural resources.Today, sustainable development is a popular trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decade. China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy resolution. It is now trying hard to made full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil(棕榈油), which is produced without cutting down valuabe rainforest. In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown more than 50%.Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions(排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger arrangement of public resouces like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid the huge public expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can accerlarate the change from the traditional model to a sustainable one.The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of a growing population within the limits of this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.41. The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that_.A.it makes the world warmerB. it consumes natural resoucesC. it brings severe damage to futureD. it makes growth hard to continue42. What can we infer from Paragraph2?A. China lacks wind and solar energyB. China is the leader of the low-carbon marketC. High-speed trains are a low-carbon developmentD. Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests43. To fully develop the low-carbon markets governments can_.A. cut public expensesB. forbid carbon emissionC.develop public resouscesD. encourage energy conservation44. We can learn from the last paragraph that business have many chances to _.A. develop sustainable productsB. explore new natural resouscesC. make full use of natural resouscesD. deal with the major challenge45. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To introduce a new business modelB. To compare two business modelsC. To predict a change of the global marketsD. To advocate sustainable development【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。文章阐述了传统经济发展模式给地球带来了许多危害。这种发展模式破坏了毁坏了森林、使全球气候变暖等。现在低碳、可持续的经济发展模式成为许多国家的发展主流方向。中国政府正在充分发挥潜能大力开发新的低耗能、低排放的新能源市场。41.B考查细节理解。根据第一段可知：传统经济发展模式的危害是使全球气候变暖、不能持续发展、给未来发展造成损失。所以B正确。42.B考查推理判断。综合第二段的China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy resolution及段意可知：中国在绿色环保、低能减排的市场上成为领军国家。故选B。43. D考查推理判断。根据First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions(排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy可知选D。44.A考查推理判断。根据最后一段That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.可知选A。45.D考查作者的写作意图。文章由传统经济发展模式的弊端引出可持续经济发展的模式，作者通篇阐释了可持续经济发展的模式的好处及发展方向。所以作者提倡可持续发展。2011高考英语阅读理解分类汇编之广告应用文类1.（2011全国新课标）DWanted, Someone for a KissWere looking for producers to join us in the second of London 100FM.

They allow independent travelers to get local knowledge of places they are visting, from the official to the unusual. Meanwhile, hi-tech developments are creating new ways for us to map the world. Here are two of our favorites:Green MapsGreen Maps allows people to share with the world their knowledge of environmentally friendly plaees and attractions in the local areas. Users add information with a set of icons (图标), making it easy to read any map, whatever the nationalities of those who produce it.

It is a wonderful way of gaining all sorts of information of a place, ranning from community gardens to good places of birdwatching.Green Maps is not specifically intended for travelers. Not all of its maps are online, so it may be necessary for some users to communicate with producers through the Green Maps website.Maps MashupsMany people use online maps developed by Google, but not many know about the mashups of them. Working in a similar way to Green Maps, Maps Mashups allows people to add icons of their own to exsiting maps to express a certain topic. The mashups is so called because it combines all the knowledge you could ever need. It ranges from the extremely useful, such as where all the World. Heritage Site are, to the most bizarre (古怪的)，such as where Americas drunkest cities are. With the mashups added to the basic Google Maps, a multi-layered (多层的) map can be created.60.

Not long ago, the Information Highway was a new road, with not many users. Now, everyone seems to want to take a drive, with over 30 million families connected worldwide. Not surprisingly, this well-traveled highway is starting to look like a well-traveled highway. Traffic jams can cause many serious problems, forcing the system to close down for repair. Naturally, accidents will happen on such a crowed road, and usually victims are some files, gone forever. Then, of course, theres Mr. Cool, with his new broad-band connection, who speeds down the highway faster than most of us can go. But dont trick yourself; he pays for that speeding.Passage 2Want to know more about global warming and how you can help prevent it? Doctor Herman Friedman, who is considered a leading expert on the subject, will speak at Grayson Hall next Friday. Friedman studied environmental science at three well-known universities around the world before becoming a professor in the subject. He has also traveled around the world observing environmental concerns. The gradual bleaching (变白) of the Great Barrier Reef, which came into the public eye in 2002, is his latest interest. Signed copies of his colorful book, which was published just last month, will be on sale after his talk.【文章大意】本文分两部分，第一篇介绍信息高速公路的情况；第二篇介绍Doctor Herman Friedman的情况。56.
