第三单元综合微评满分：120分时间：90分钟第一部分：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，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。AIt is now February 7,2035.The search engine TalkTalk will open to the public next week and this service will be something beyond your imagination.For the first time you can not only talk to the search engine，but you can discuss with it what you are looking for.For example，if you want to know more about the oil price，TalkTalk asks if you want to know the current oil price，the development of the oil price，or news related to the oil price.You say that you want to read news about it and TalkTalk asks you if you prefer a certain source.TalkTalk then directs you to your source，or lets you have the latest news related to the oil price in order from the most respected sources.Compared with other search services that use a certain algorithm(程序)to provide data from a search，the artificial intelligence behind TalkTalk is said to easily spot if a certain source is aiming to cheat the searcher.TalkTalk also judges and stores every given reply and discussion，to learn how to give correct answers.TalkTalk is also set to answer questions directly where there is a definite answer.How well this will work in the long run is yet to be seen，but thousands of people have tested TalkTalk and the quality is really good.The first talking search engine saw the light of day more than 30 years ago and was called Speegle.It could read you the results from a written search on the Internet，and was mostly for blind people.So far，TalkTalk can not read the information from a certain source to you by phone，if it is not freely available.There are currently talks to find an arrangement for this，but it would most likely be difficult because of copyright(版权)TalkTalk is available over the Internet and also by phone，even though it only speaks English.There are no plans to add other languages in the near future，most likely because it will cost a lot of money.When you are tired of asking TalkTalk all your questions，just ask，“Where is TalkTalk？” and you will get an answer that will make you leave it with a smile on your lips.1The example in Paragraph 2 is given to show _.Ahow to use the search engine TalkTalkBhow to search for news on the InternetCthe oil price is a very hot issue currentlyDTalkTalk has a very high intelligence2The advantage of TalkTatk is that it can _.Abe available wherever you goBtell if a certain source is reliableCread the search results for youDoffer different kinds of search results3What would be the best title for the text?AHello，TalkTalkBWhere is TalkTalk?CTalkTalk is improvingDDevelopment of search engines4In which part of a future newspaper can you read the text?AOpinion. BCulture.CLifestyles. DTechnology.语篇解读：本文是说明文。文章介绍了未来的搜索引擎TalkTalk。1A解析：细节理解题。本段是承接上一段内容的。上段末句提到.you can not only talk to the search engine，but you can discuss with it what you are looking for.也就是TalkTalk的使用方法。2B解析：细节理解题。根据第三段的.easily spot if a certain source is aiming to cheat the searcher可知。3A解析：标题归纳题。文章描述了未来的搜索引擎TalkTalk，它可以与使用者对话，所以用A项作标题非常生动。4D解析：文章出处题。本文描述的是搜索引擎，故应该刊登在科技专栏。BForget chip fat，sugar cane or rapeseed(油菜籽)oilthe latest source of biofuel could be watermelons.Scientists have discovered that the fruit is a great source of sugar that can be readily distilled(蒸馏)into alcohol to power cars and farm machinery.And because sellers reject 360,000 tons of “substandard” fruit annually in America alone they could be used as an economical way to make fuel.The waste from US growers could produce nearly two million gallons(nine million litres)of biofuel per year.In the study，researchers at the US Department of Agriculture set out to determine the biofuel potential of juice from rejected watermelonsthose not sold due to cosmetic imperfections，and currently ploughed back into the field.About a fifth of each annual watermelon crop is left in the field because of surface blemishes(瑕疵)or because they are misshapen.Dr Wayne Fish，who led the team，found that 50 percent of the fruit was fermentable(可发酵的)into alcohol which could provide valuable fuel.“Weve shown that the juice of these melons is a source of readily fermentable sugars，representing an unexploited raw material for alcohol biofuel production，” he said.The study，published in the journal Biotechnology for Biofuels，discovered that watermelons could produce around 20 gallons of fuel per acre from fruit that otherwise would go to waste.Production of biofuels has been targeted by western governments as a way to support renewable energy targets.The European Union has a target for 2012 that 5.75 percent of transport fuels should come from biological sources，but the target is unlikely to be met.The British governments Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation requires five percent of the fuel sold at the pump by 2012 to be biofuel.5The passage mainly tells us _.Awestern countries aim at producing biofuelsBwatermelons could be used to make fuelCthe advantages of fuel made from watermelonsDwatermelon juice will be the largest source of renewable energy6Which of the following is NOT the reason why so many watermelons are deserted in America each year?AThey are substandard(不够标准)BThey are imperfect.CThey are misshapen.DThey are oversupplied.7We can learn from the text that _.Asellers in the world throw away 360,000 tons of watermelons every yearBabout two gallons of fuel could be made from rejected fruit per acreChalf of the watermelons were fermentable into alcohol to provide energyDfive percent of fuel is required to be biofuel from watermelons by 2012 in Britain8The underlined word “cosmetic” in Paragraph 4 probably means _.Ainside BflavorCsurface Dfreshness语篇解读：本文讲述了西瓜的另类用途，即西瓜可以发酵成酒提供燃料。5B解析：主旨大意题。本文主题在第一段，即西瓜可以用来做燃料。6D解析：细节理解题。根据第三、五段可知A、B、C项是美国西瓜被丢弃的原因，文中没有提到D项。7C解析：推理判断题。根据第六段可知，有一半的西瓜可以发酵成酒提供燃料。8C解析：词义猜测题。根据下文的surface blemishes可推知此处cosmetic指西瓜的内在部分。CThe generation gap in China has become so dramatic that parents who fail to catch up with the rest of the society could be abandoned by their children.This was the case with a middle school student who disapproved of her mothers outfits(整套服装)so much that she hired a “mom” to attend her schools parents meeting.Mrs Wang and her daughter Pingping live in Dalian of Northeast Chinas Liaoning Province.Although Pingping attends school regularly，Wang never attended any of the parents meetings because her daughter never told her about them.It was only when Wang called the school did she realize she had missed many meetings.Bewildered，Wang asked her daughter about what was going on，but Pingpings answer astonished her.“You made me lose face，” she replied.“I have been asking a classmates aunt to take part in it for me,50 yuan each time to keep the secret.”According to Pingping，her father is always busy and has no time to attend the parents meetings.As for her mother，not only does she not dress well，but she was also nosy，asking about other parents salaries and other students pocket money.And so Pingping felt her mom was not welcomed both by the students and parents.Fifty yuan is not a small amount of money for Pingping，but she thought a good “mom” worth it.Many times Wang asked her daughter why the middle school never held any parents meetings.Pingping answered the school decided not to hold parents meetings for fear that it would put more pressure on the students.Her lie continued until her mom called the school.Now that Pingpings mom has learned the truth，Pingping earnestly offered her a suggestion along with her apology：please consider your dress and manners from now onits not only for your own good.9This passage told us a social problem about _.Aparents bad behaviorsBthe generation gapCembarrassed parents meetingDthe family education10Why did Mrs Wang miss the parents meetings of her daughter?AThe school didnt hold any parents meetings.BShe feared that her present would put more pressure on her daughter.CHer husband is always busy and has no time to attend the parents meetings.DHer daughter never told her about the parents meetings.11What can we infer from this story?AIts not right for a student to suggest her mom should wear more professional outfits.BIts better for the parents to behave themselves when present at parentsmeetings.CThe generation gap in China does exist between the parents and their young.DNowadays，most of the students wish to have a rich family.12The best title for this passage might be _.AMoms Ugly？Hire One!BWhos Fault？Mother or Daughter!CGood Dress and Manners！For Whose Good?DHiring Mother！Mad?语篇解读：本文是一篇关于学校教育中出现的一个戏剧性现象的文章。文中学生Pingping认为妈妈穿得不时髦且谈话不得体，故而请别人代替开家长会。9B解析：主旨大意题。从文中第一段第一句的主题句可以找出答案。10D解析：细节理解题。第二段中Wang never attended any of the parents meetings because her daughter never told her about them作出说明。11C解析：推理判断题。文章第一段第一句话为主题句，C项符合主旨。12A解析：主旨大意题。A选项提出了事件的中心，所以选A较为恰当。Moms Ugly？说明了妈妈不注意形象，这是原因，而Hire One！则说明了它导致的结果。DShort readersubmitted storiesfor the woman you should
