In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be dirtier than their gasolinepowered cousins. People in California love to talk about “zeroemissions (零排放) vehicles”， but people in California seem to be_clueless_about where electricity comes from. Power plants most all use fire to make it. Apart from the few people who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators (发电机). Generators are fueled by something usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal (地热) plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something. In other words, those “zeroemissions” cars are likely coalburning cars. Because the coal is burned somewhere else, it looks clean. It is not true. It's as if the California Greens are covering their eyes “If I can't see it, it's not happening.” Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But when you take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc. A gallon of gas may drive your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far, so electric cars burn more fuel than gasolinepowered ones. If our electricity came mostly from wind or geothermal, or solar, then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical, and economic reasons, we don't use much of those energy sources.In addition, electric cars' batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill. And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When it's a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.1What's the main idea of the passage?AElectric cars aren't actually clean.BElectric cars are zeroemissions vehicles.CZeroemissions vehicles are popular.DGasolinepowered cars are more efficient.2Which of the following words can replace “be clueless about” in Paragraph 2?Abe familiar with Bbe curious aboutCfail to understand Dshow their interest in3The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car run _.Aat least 25 miles Bmore than 25 milesCas far as 25 miles Dless than 25 miles4In the author's opinion, compared with cars using gas, electric cars are more _.Aenvironmentally friendly BexpensiveCefficient Dharmful5It can be inferred from the passage that _.Aelectric cars' batteries are poisonous for a long timeBnow electric cars are used more than their gasolinepowered cousinsCzeroemissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environmentDelectric cars are not clean in that we get electricity mainly by burning somethingB(2013·江西六校联考)People born in winter are more likely to suffer mental health disorders, according to a recent study carried out by researchers at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee.Researchers raised baby mice from birth to weaning (断奶) in either “summer” light cycles of 16 hours of light and 8 hours of dark or “winter” cycles of 8 hours of light and 16 hours of dark. A third group experienced 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark a day.Then half the winter mice stayed in a winter cycle, while half switched to a summer schedule. The summer mice were similarly split. The mice raised in equal periods of light and dark were split into three groups, one of which stayed on the 12hour schedule, one of which joined the winter group, and one of which joined the summer group.After 28 days, it turns out the summerborn mice behaved the same whether they stayed on the summer cycle or switched to winter. But among the winterborn mice, those stayed in winter kept their previous schedule, while those that switched to summer stayed active for an extra hour and a half, which indicates that mice born and weaned in a winter light cycle showed dramatic disruptions in their biological clocks.The finding is the first of its kind in mammals, and it could explain why people born in winter are at higher risk for mental health disorders including bipolar depression, schizophrenia and seasonal affective disorder.“We know that the biological clock regulates mood in humans，”said study researcher McMahon. “If the mechanism (机制) similar to the one that we found in mice operates in humans, then it could not only have an effect on a number of behavioral disorders, but also have a more general effect on personality.”6How many groups of mice are there finally in all in the experiment?AFour. BFive.CSix. DSeven.7What's the main idea of the text?AThe biological clock regulates mood in humans.BPeople born in winter are at higher risk for physical health disorders.CBeing born in winter has a negative effect on people's mental health.DThe length of light will influence the behavior of the mice.8The underlined word “split”(Paragraph 3) can be replaced by _.Aended BtornChit Ddivided9Which group of mice has changed their behavior after the experiment?AThe group born in winter and staying in winter.BThe group born in winter and switching to summer.CThe group born in summer and staying in summer.DThe group born in summer and switching to winter.10Who is the appropriate reader of the passage?AA jobhunter.BA student in the university.CA newlymarried couple.DAn experienced dentist.答 案课时跟踪检测(三十).1.选D说话人是在电话投诉销售员，答话人自然应该首先了解发生了什么事情。前三项分别表示“你一定是在开玩笑！”“太令人震惊了！”“为什么不呢？”，都不符合常识。2选Don the whole“大体上；基本上”；success在此表示“成功的事”，是可数名词，其前用a。3选C在This is the first time that .句型中，从句常用现在完成时，且appoint与woman之间为动宾关系，故选C项。4选D此题考查强调句型It is .that .。本句中强调了状语only when you nearly lose someone。5选D考查动词词义辨析。句意：他的精彩表演吸引了中国各个年龄段和各个阶层的人们，同时他也深受全世界人们的欢迎。appear“出现”；suit“适合”；fit“合适”；appeal“吸引”。6选A分析句子结构可知，主句为一个祈使句，句中缺少谓语动词，故选动词原形vary。7选C考查固定结构。句意：这名男孩正要跳入河中，这时他发现一条鲶鱼在河里游。be about to do .when .意为“正要干某事就在这时”。8选Cbuild up one's confidence “树立某人的信心”。bring up“抚养”；take up“从事”；break up“打碎；分裂；解体”。9选C句意：上周一我应邀给新生进行了一次测试来评估一下他们的英语水平。此处用动词不定式作后置定语，表示目的。10选A考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，这里缺少主语，选项中只有A项comparing是动名词形式，可以作主语，由此选A项。11选DDon't panic“不要惊慌”。afraid为形容词；frighten和terrify是及物动词。12选C句意：众所周知，蒙特利尔是世界上说法语的第二大城市，巴黎是第一大城市。此题是“逻辑主语(名词)现在分词短语”式的独立主格结构。现在分词的逻辑主语与句子主语Montreal不一致。13选D句意：有许多英语教学方法，但它们不一定都对中国学生同样有效。A项应说成a variety of; B项意为“准确的；精确的”； C项意为“原始的”； D项意为“不同的；多种多样的”。由句意可知选D项。14选C考查非谓语动词。根据the old man 与wait之间的关系，应该选择v.ing形式，再根据句意得知他是先“wait”后才“realize”。所以先发生的动作应该用完成式Having waited。15选A句意：我欣赏你努力工作，但是我不能保证你一定能被提升。guarantee“保证；担保”，符合句意。.语篇解读：很多人都认为电动汽车是非常环保的，加州人甚至普遍认为电动汽车是“零排放汽车”。事实确实如此吗？让我们读一读文章，从中寻找答案吧？1选A主旨大意题。文章的首段就点明了主题，即电动汽车并非清洁、无污染，因为电能的产生很多时候也要消耗大量的能源，造成十分严重的污染，故答案为A项。2选C词义猜测题。联系第二段内容可知，加州人之所以认为电动汽车是零排放的环保车，主要是因为他们没有理解或者忽视了电是从哪儿来的这个事实。故选“fail to understand”，表示“没有理解”。3选D细节理解题。根据第四段中的“A gallon of gas may drive your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far”可知答案为D项。4选D综合理解题。综合全文尤其是第三段第五句和最后一段前两句可知，作者认为电动汽车比普通汽车造成的污染更为严重，对环境的破坏也更大。所以答案为harmful“有害的”。5选D推理判断题。根据第二段的最后一句和第四段的第三句可知，获取电能如果是靠太阳能、地热或者风力等方式发电的话，电动汽车算是环保的，但是它们实际上现在主要还是靠烧煤、油等来发电，所以并非真正意义上的环保车。6选D细节理解题。在第二段中提到了分成了三组，而在第三段中又将这三组分别分成了两组、两组和三组，因此在实验中一共有七组老鼠。7选C主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章的第一段就开门见山地点明了本文的主旨，即冬天出生的人更有可能存在心理障碍，因此选C。8选D词义猜测题。根据第三段的第一句及画线词后面的“were split into three groups”可推知，“split”与“divided”同义，意为“被分开”。9选B细节理解题。根据第四段的第二句可知，冬天出生的老鼠在夏天的环境下，要多活跃一个半小时，它们行为发生了变化，因此选B。10选C推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文告诉我们出生时间对人的精神健康的影响，再结合四个备选项可知，新婚夫妇应是最合适的读者。
