There are three separate sources of danger in supplying energy by nuclear power.

First, the radioactive (有放射性的) material must travel from its place of production to the power station. Although the power stations themselves are strongly built, the containers used for the transport of the materials are not. Normally, only two methods of transport are in use, namely road or rail. Unfortunately, both of these may have an effect on the general public, since they are sure to pass near, or even through, heavily populated areas.

Second, there is the problem of waste. All nuclear power stations produce wastes that in most cases will remain radioactive for thousands of years. It is impossible to make these wastes non-radioactive, and so they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented. For example, they may be buried under the ground, or dropped into deserted mines, or sunk in the sea. However, these methods do not solve the problem, since an earthquake could easily break the containers.

Third, there may occur the danger of a leak (泄漏) or an explosion at the power station. As with the other two dangers, this is not very likely, so it does not provide a serious objection (不贊成,反對) to the nuclear program. However, it can happen.

Separately, these three types of dangers are not a great cause for worry. Taken together, though, the probability of disaster is extremely high.

1.Which of the following is not true?

A.It is likely that a leak or an explosion occurs at a power station.

B.It is not usual for radioactive materials to be conveyed across land.

C.The containers are likely to be broken by an earthquake.

D.Nuclear wastes remain risky in most cases for many years.

2.The author thinks that the ways to store nuclear wastes are __________.

A.easy B.impossible

C.reasonable D.ineffective

3.What do we learn from the last paragraph?

A.The power station is a place that frees from danger.

B.The dangers of nuclear energy could be prevented.

C.The general public are opposed to the nuclear program.

D.By itself, none of the three dangers is very likely to lead to much worry.

4.What is this passage about?

A.Uses of nuclear power.

B.Dangers from nuclear power.

C.Public anger at nuclear power.

D.Accidents caused by nuclear power.

I could still remember that hot afternoon when my mother ordered me to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. In this way, she hoped to defeat my strange problem — inability to read.

In the library, I found my way into the “Children's Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal friend I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.

There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked similar to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.

Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.

My mother's call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be so wonderful. I was going to read them.

I never told my mother about my wonderful experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in the literature, and published his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.

1.The author's mother told him to borrow a book in order to ___________.

A. help cure him of his reading problem

B. encourage him to do more walking

C. let him spend a meaningful summer

D. make him learn more about animals

2. The author managed to read the book through because .

A. he was forced by his mother to read it

B. the book told the story of his pet dog

C. the book reminded him of his own story with his dog

D. the happy ending of the story attracted him

3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. The author's mother read the same book.

B. The author has become a successful writer.

C. The author has had happy summers ever since.

D. The author's mother rewarded him with books.

4.Which one can be the best title of the passage?

A. The Charm of a Book B. Mum's Strict Order

C. Reunion with My Beagle D. My Passion for Reading

Last month I got the chance to take part in an underwater research project in an area of the Gulf of Mexico called the Flower Gardens. A team of professional researchers, led by the scientist Dr. Matt Phillips, was trying to learn more about the fish and various creatures that live in this part of the sea. 1.

The team used a piece of underwater equipment called a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) to collect information. The ROV could measure water depth and temperature and it also had a camera that sent live film back to the boat. 2. It was controlled by a computer on the boat, and I was allowed to operate it a few times.

3. At first, I was quite frightened — mainly because I couldn’t see land in any direction. 4. It was amazing to see the colourful fish swimming around and I could see all the way to the Flower Gardens, which are almost 30 metres down.

I will never forget the Flower Gardens. The trip was like a holiday but I also learnt new things about science and research projects. The team was very friendly and everyone was happy to explain what they knew about the sea. It was a great opportunity and it has made me think about my goals in life. 5.

A. The ROV was great fun.

B. The ROV was difficult to operate.

C. However, the thing I enjoyed most was diving into the water.

D. But as soon as I jumped into the water, I wasn’t afraid anymore.

E. The only thing I disliked was collecting information about the sea.

F. The experience will definitely help me work harder to become a scientist.

G. The Flower Gardens are a long way from the shore and we spent three days on boat.

閱讀下面短文,并按照題目要求用英語回答問題。

When I was growing up,I was embarrassed to be seen with my father.He was severely lame and very short,and when we would walk together,his hand on my arm for balance,people would stare.I would feel ashamed at the unwanted attention.If he ever noticed or was bothered,he never let on,nor did he say anything about it.

It was difficult to coordinate(協(xié)調(diào)) our steps—his pausing,my impatience—and because of that,we didn’t say much as we went along.But as we started out,he always said,“You set the pace,I will try to adjust to you.”

Our usual walk was to or from the subway,which was how he got to work.He went to work sick,and despite bad weather.He almost never missed a day,and would make it to the office even if others could not.A matter of pride.

When snow or ice was on the ground,it was impossible for him to walk,even with help.At such times my sisters or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn,NY,on a child’s sleigh to the subway entrance.Once there,he would grasp the handrail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept ice-free.In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building,and he would not have to go outside until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home.

When I think of it now,I wondered at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to subject himself to such indignity and stress.And at how he did it—without bitterness or complaint.

He never talked about himself as an object of pity,nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able.What he looked for in others was a “good heart”,and if he found one,the owner was good enough for him.

Now that I am older,I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people,even though I still don’t know precisely what a “good heart” is.But I know the times I don’t have one myself.

My father has been gone many years now,but I think of him often.I wonder if he sensed my unwillingness to be seen with him during our walks.If he did,I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was,how unworthy I was,how I regretted it.I think of him when I complain about incident,when I am envious of another’s good fortune,when I don’t have a “good heart”.

At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance,and say,“You set the pace,I will try to adjust to you.”

1.What wouldn’t the author like others to see?(No more than 10 words)

2.What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “l(fā)et on” in the first paragraph? (No more than 5 words)

3.According to the third paragraph,what conclusion can you get about the father’s attitude toward his work? (No more than 8 words)

4.Find an example in the passage that shows the father was a man with a “good heart”.(No more than10 words)

5.What does the author learn from his father? (No more than 15 words)

閱讀理解。

Four people in England back in 1953, stared at Photo 51,It wasn’t much—a picture showing a black X.But three of these people won the Nobel Prize for figuring out what the photo really showed –the shape of DNA The discovery brought fame and fortune to scientists James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins.The fourth, the one who actually made the picture, was left out.

Her name was Rosalind Franklin.” She should have been up there,” says historian(歷史學(xué)家) Mary Bowden.” If her photos hadn’t been there, the others couldn’t have come up with the structure.” One reason Franklin was missing was that she had died of cancer four years before the Nobel decision.But now scholars(學(xué)者)doubt that Franklin was not only robbed of her life by disease but robbed of credit by her competitors

At Cambridge University in the 1950s, Watson and Click tried to make models by cutting up shapes of DNA’s parts and then putting them together.In the meantime, at King’s College in London, Franklin and Wilkins shone X-rays at the molecule(分子).The rays produced patterns reflection the shape.

But Wilkins and Franklin’s relationship was a lot rockier than the celebrated teamwork of Watson and Crick, Wilkins thought Franklin was hired to be his assistant.But the college actually employed her to take over the DNA project.

What she did was produce X-ray pictures that told Watson and Crick that one of their early models was inside out.And she was not shy about saying so.That angered Watson, who attacked her in return, “Mere inspection suggested that she would not easily bend.Clearly she had to to go or be put in her place.”

As Franklin’s competitors, Wilkins, Watson and Crick had much to gain by cutting her out of the little group of researchers, says historian Pnina Abir-Am.In 1962 at the Nobel Prize awarding ceremony, Wilkins thanked 13 colleagues by name before he mentioned Franklin, Watson wrote his book laughing at her.Crick wrote in 1974 that “Franklin was only two steps away from the solution.”

No, Franklin was the solution.“She contributed more than any other player to solving the structure of DNA.She must be considered a co-discoverer,” Abir-Am says.This was backed up by Aaron Klug, who worked with Franklin and later won a Nobel Prize himself.Once described as the “Dark Lady of DNA”, Franklin is finally coming into the light.

1.What is the text mainly about?

A.The disagreements among DNA researchers

B.The unfair treatment of Franklin.

C.The process of discovering DNA.

D.The race between two teams of scientists.

2.Watson was angry with Franklin because she

A.took the lead in the competition

B.kept her results from him

C.proved some of his findings wrong

D.shared her data with other scientists

3.Why is Franklin described as “Dark Lady of DNA”?

A.She developed pictures in dark labs.

B.She discovered the black X-the shape of DNA.

C.Her name was forgotten after her death.

D.Her contribution was unknown to the public.

4.What is the writer’s attitude toward Wilkins, Watson and Crick?

A.Disapproving.

B.Respectful.

C.Admiring.

D.Doubtful.
