本文屬于過程說明文中的人為過程說明文,篇章展開的方式是給予指令或建議。該短文從四個方面提出了遇到雷電時人們應(yīng)該采取的防護措施。
1.D下文談的都是有關(guān)"防護"的措施。save 通常指已經(jīng)遇到危險時的救護,而本文談的更多的是防患于未然。
2.D根據(jù)常識和隨后的lightning entered a window表述可知該答案。A、B兩個選項明顯與前面提到的在室內(nèi)這一背景相餑。
3.A結(jié)合常識選定。碰都不能碰,當然就不能抓。
4.A根據(jù)后面的washing machine可以確定該答案。
5.C雷電只有"進人"屋內(nèi),才有可能將Falvey擊傷。
6.B A、C、D三個選項不符合電在人體中的流動特點。travel除了作"旅行"將講外,還有"行進,快速前進"的意思。
7.D上文交代了閃電先擊傷右手,再傳遍全身,最后到達的肯定是左手。
6.A根據(jù)常識可知,人觸電時是難以擺脫電源的,因此,Falvey有"握住"雷電的感覺是很正常的。
7.C結(jié)合常識和across—詞,可以想象她被雷電掀翻到房子的另一邊。
10.B tale意為"傳說"或"神話故事"。此處用該詞表不真實的故事。破折號在此起解釋的作用:許多人曾經(jīng)被電話線電擊過。
11.D打雷一般是在"下雨"時。
12.A根據(jù)本段的首句和尾句不難選定。
13.A手臂上能夠立起來的只能是"汗毛"。
14.C感覺上是電荷要從手上飛出,而實際上這是不可能的,故用almost(幾乎) 。
15.C根據(jù)前后句的意思較易判斷。
16.D根據(jù)常識,打雷時,若房子被雷擊,讓電視機處于接通電源狀態(tài),電視機肯定會受損的。
17.B另三個選項不能概全。
18.A properly指方法得當?shù)匕惭b。
19.D根據(jù)常識,安裝避雷針的目的是為了"減少"被雷電侵襲的幾率,而非消除被雷電損害的現(xiàn)象。
20.C根據(jù)常識,房子上的避雷針只能保護該房子以及房子里的人。

Latin America and other poor regions of the world will bear the impact(影響) of climate change, a top official from the organization that shared this year's Nobel Peace Prize said.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) ,a UN network of scientists,was awarded the prize along with former US Vice President AI Gore for their work warning the pub?lic of the peril of global warming.
"The results of the IPCC show very clearly the impact of climate change will be much seve?rer for the poorest groups and Latin America is included in that”,said IPCC vice chairman Mo?han Munasinghe of Sri Lanka.
He said water management issues were likely to be the most pressing problem caused by global warming in Latin America. Dry areas will become much drier and other areas will face increased floods and associated waterbome diseases like malaria and dengue fever.
He said in spite of the problems faced by Latin America, the region is very practical in dealing with the issue.
"My sense is that Latin American countries have been much more responsive(反應(yīng)積極的) to the issue of climate change because they feel much more vulnerable(脆弱的) ,"Munasinghe said. "For North America, particularly the United States, the reaction is more defensive."
Brazilian Environment Minister Marina Silva said, "Global warming is a burden(負擔(dān))shared by both developing and developed nations. If we are to reduce our "greenhouse" gas e-mission by 100 percent, without richer nations reducing theirs by at least 80 percent, we will still be affected.”
( ) 5. Why were IPCC and AI Gore awarded with the Nobel Peace Prize?
A.They were working together to fight global warming.
B.They stopped the global warming becoming severer.
C.They warned the public of the impact of climate change on poor regions.
D.He predicted the influences of developed nations on climate change.
( ) 6. The underlined word "peril" in the second paragraph probably means .
A. danger B. force C. possibility D. range
( ) 7. We can learn from the last but one paragraph that Mohan Munasinghe seems to .
A.be blaming the USA for its reaction to global warming
B.seek more countries to help them fight global warming
C.be optimistic about reducing the impact of global warming
D.look for the real reasons why global warming is so severe
( ) 8. Marina Silva believes that
A.developing nations should learn from developed nations to fight global warming

Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.
Sometimes the word "green" means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes it describes something that is not yet ripe or finished. For example a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns (角) had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle. By the eighteenth century a greenhorn had the meaning it has today―a person who is new in a job.
Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expres?sion comes from the early nineteen hundreds. A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.
The Green Revolution is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.
Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling jealousy(嫉妒) .The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space. It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play "Othello". It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone has something he wants. A young man may suf?fer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else. Or that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay rise and she does not.
( ) 5. Greenhorn now refers to .
A.a person who is new in a job
B.a new solider
C.a young horse
D.none of the above
( ) 6. A person who has a green thumb is a person .
A.who is good at growing plants
B.whose thumbs are in green color
C.whose garden is greener than others'
D.who is younger than his neighbors
( ) 7. Which of the following has the same meaning with the underlined word in the third paragraph?
A. method B. finger
C. tool D. idea
( ) 8. The author is actually talking about .
A. colors B. language C. politics D. agriculture
