第一篇
31.B【解析】题意:根据第一段的叙述,荷兰的象征是什么?
根据文章第一段第一句The graceful wooden windmills that have broken up the flat Dutch landscape for centuries a national symbol like wooden shoes and tulips可知,木制的风车像木鞋和郁金香一样,都是荷兰的象征。故本题选B。
32.B【解析】题意:哪个叙述最详尽地描述了第二段提到的城市涡轮机?
根据文章第二段第二句Though still in its teething stages,the “urban turbine”is a high—tech windmill designed to generate energy from the rooftops of busy cities可知城市涡轮机是高科技的风车,安装在屋顶上为人们提供能量,故B项正确。A项没有说明这种风车是高科技的,也未说明安装的地,占、在哪里,其说法过于模糊,所以不准确。根据本段最后一句前半句Lighter,quieter,and often more efficient than rural counterparts可知,城市涡轮机比乡村木制风车重量轻,噪声小,效率高,但这不等于It is light and quiet and therefore more efficient,所以C项说法错误。根据本段最后一句they take advantage of the extreme turbulence and rapid shifts in direction that characterize urban wind pat— terns可知涡轮机利用了城市的风所特有的紊流和快速转向,但是D项的说法对于描述涡轮机的特点过于模糊,不全面。故本题选B。
33.C【解析】题意:一部最小型的城市涡轮机……。
根据文章第四段第一句they are being designed more for public or commercial buildings than for private homes可知城市涡轮机的设计更适于公共或商务楼房,而不是家庭,所以A项说法错误。根据本段第二句The smallest of the current models weigh roughly 200 kilograms and can be installed on a roof in a few hours without using a crane可知最小的涡轮机大约重200公斤,而且不需要吊车就可安装到屋顶上,因此B项和D项错误,C项正确。故本题选C。
34.D【解析】题意:荷兰在城市涡轮机技术上领先因为……。
根据文章第五段Dutch are natural pioneers in urban wind power mainly because of the lack of space…The Netherlands…is the most densely populated in Europe可知由于土地少,荷兰人在城市风力发电技术方面是先锋,而且荷兰是欧洲人口最密集的国家。故本题选D。
35.D【解析】题意:根据最后一段,风力发电技术的优势有哪些?
根据文章最后一段第二、三句…wind power is that you can use it in a whole range of situations… It’s a very local technology,and you can use it right in your backyard可知风力用途广泛,而能在家里的后院使用,所以D项正确。文章并未提及风力可代替核能,所以B项错误。故本题选D。
第二篇
36.C【解析】题意:Alvin是什么?
根据文章第一段第四句The new machine,known as a manned submersible or human—operated vehicle(HOV),will replace another one named Alvin…可知Alvin与HOV一样都是潜艇,故本题选C。
37.A【解析】题意:关于Alvin下列哪项叙述不是事实?
根据文章第一段第四、五句…Alvin which has an amazing record of discovery,playing a key role in various important and famous undersea expeditions.Alvin has been operating for 40 years but can go down only 4,500 meters可知Alvin在各种深海考查中发挥了重要的作用,Alvin已经运行了40年,但它只能潜到4500米的深处,所以A项说法错误,B项和D项正确。根据文章第二段第一句Alvin was launched in l964可知Alvin从1964年开始使用,所以C项正确。故本题选A。
38.C【解析】题意:“…a world that is still full of mysteries”指的是……。
文章第一段第一二句Oceans cover more than two—thirds of our planet.Yet,i ust a small fraction of the underwater world has been unexplored就点明人们只探索了海洋的一小部分,且全文都在围绕探索海底世界的潜艇展开叙述,故本题选C。
39.D【解析】题意:新的HOV和Alvin在哪些方面相似?
根据文章第三段前三句Size—wise,the new HOV will be similar to Alvin.It’ll be about 37 feet long.The setting area…about 8 feet wide,like Alvin…可知HOV和Alvin在体积上和容量上相似,故本题选D。
40.D【解析】题意:新的HOV和Alvin在哪些方面不同?
根据文章第三段最后两句…it will give passengers more opportunities to enjoy the view…the new vehicle will have five…可知HOV有五个窗户,所以乘客视野更宽阔,故A项正确。根据最后一段Alvin…at a rate of 30 meters every second,and its maximum speed is 2 knots(about 2.3 miles per hour),while the new vehicle…reach speeds of 3 knots,or 3.5 miles per hour可知两种潜艇的速度有所差别,HOV更快,所以B项正确。故本题选D。
第三篇
41.C【解析】题意:在第二段提到的带翼机器人下列哪项叙述不正确?
根据文章第二段Krister Wolff and Peter Nordin…built a winged robot and set about testing whether it could learn to fly by itself,without any pre—programmed data on what flapping is or how to do it可知两位教授测试机器人是否会自己学会飞行,而且他们预先没有对翅膀扇动的方式进行数据设定,所以A项、B项和D项都是正确的,而C项错误。故本题选C。
42.B【解析】题意:测试开始时机器人的表现如何?
根据文章第三段第一、二句To begin with,the robot just twitched and jerked erratically.But, gradually,it made movements that gained height可知开始时机器人只是振动盘桓,但运动逐渐获得上升高度,所以B项正确。根据本段最后一句After three hours…a more effective flapping technique where it rotated its wings through 90 degrees…可知机器人用90度扇动两翼是测试三小时后发生的,所以A项不符合题意。而C项broke down和D项的内容文章没有提及。故本题选B。
43.A【解析】题意:下列哪项说法与Peter Bentley对带翼机器人的看法最接近?
根据文章第四段最后一句There’s only so much that evolution can do…This thing is never going to fly because the motors will never have the strength to do it可知Peter Bentley认为进化过程只能使机器人有一些飞行的动作,而要让其起飞是不可能的,因为不可能有这么大功率的发动机。故本题选A。
44.B【解析】题意:测量机器人升高的高度有多少的是什么?
根据文章第六段第三句A movement detector measured how much lift,if any,the robot produced for any given movement可知科学家使用运动探测器来测量机器人升高的高度。故本题选B。
45.D【解析】题意:最后一段出现的“the process”指的是什么?
根据最后一段最后两句The most successful ones were paired up and“offspring”sets of instructions were generated by swapping instructions randomly between successful pairs.These next—generation instructions were then sent to the robot and evaluated before breeding a new generation可知整个过程包括成功的指令配对后产生新一代的指令,将指令输入机器人中,然后评估,所以本题选D。
