【題目】 Ralph Waldo Emerson once quoted that “Nothing great can ever be achieved without enthusiasm.” I have a lot of enthusiasm. This is Northlandz in Flemington, New Jersey. Northlandz is the world’s largest model railroad. Well I guess, you know, everybody has a passion for something, my thing was trains.

I had trains around the Christmas tree as a kid. Wherever I lived I was planning track plans and then over 18 years I added five basements onto the house. And from that I got fairly good at making mountains and bridges and design work and we decided to give it to the world so we tore it all down, bought this land and built Northlandz.

Any given day we run between 85 and 90 trains. Here are some of the details in Northlandz inside—about 40,000 feet of track, and about 4,000 buildings over 400 bridges. Many of the mountains in here are three and a half stories high. Most things in here are scratch built. Underneath the entire superstructure there’s enough lumber to build about 42 large houses. It takes a few hours to go through for the average person to see everything.

We went millions into debt to build this place. Everybody thought we were nuts. The only one that believed in what I wanted to do was my wife and she was totally with me on this big time. It’s an artistic effort. It’s a gift to the world of what I can do and it makes a lot of people happy.

【解析】

這是一篇記敘文。講述了作者建立世界上最大的鐵路模型Northlandz的故事。

【1】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“Ralph Waldo Emerson once quoted that “Nothing great can ever be achieved without enthusiasm.” I have a lot of enthusiasm. This is Northlandz in Flemington, New Jersey. Northlandz is the world’s largest model railroad ”可知，拉爾夫·沃爾多·愛(ài)默生曾經(jīng)引用過(guò)這樣一句話:“沒(méi)有熱情就不會(huì)有任何偉大的成就。”“我也有很大的熱情。這就是新澤西州弗萊明頓的Northlandz。Northlandz是世界上最大的鐵路模型。由此判斷出該段作者引用愛(ài)默生的話是想說(shuō)明他對(duì)火車的熱情和對(duì)創(chuàng)建Northlandz的熱情。故選B。

【2】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段I had trains around the Christmas tree as a kid. Wherever I lived I was planning track plans and then over 18 years I added five basements onto the house.可知，當(dāng)我還是個(gè)孩子的時(shí)候，我接圍著圣誕樹(shù)坐火車轉(zhuǎn)。無(wú)論我住在哪里，我都在規(guī)劃軌道規(guī)劃，然后用了18年的時(shí)間，我在房子上加了5個(gè)地下室。由此判斷出作者從小對(duì)火車的喜愛(ài)是他創(chuàng)建Northlandz的靈感來(lái)源。故選D。

【3】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第三段“It takes a few hours to go through for the average person to see everything.”可知，要參觀到每個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)，一般要花上好幾個(gè)小時(shí)。所以人們要花很多時(shí)間來(lái)欣賞它的每一個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)。故選C。

【4】

推理判斷題。從最后一段“Everybody thought we were nuts. The only one that believed in what I wanted to do was my wife”可知，每個(gè)人都認(rèn)為我瘋了，只有我的妻子信任我。由此判斷出，人們對(duì)作者致力于建造這個(gè)地方的看法是瘋狂和懷疑。故選A.

【題目】 Cryonics is the practice of cooling dead organic tissue. This is used on humans or animals that have recently died. The hope is to bring them back to life in the near future. By law, it can only be performed on humans after they are legally dead. Many scientists and doctors think cryonics is totally morally unacceptable. However, there are also many who support cryonics.

Supporters of cryonics hope that future technology will improve. Molecular technology is especially hoped to reverse (逆轉(zhuǎn)) the early stages of clinical death. It is hoped that this will enable the repair of tissue on a very tiny level. It could also allow damaged tissues and organs to regenerate. They also assume that disease and aging will one day be reversible.

These supporters want to store the memory and identity from the brain of people who have recently died. Cryonics attempts to do this by using liquid that preserves the brain. If this is done before cooling, it will prevent injury. This cooling liquid saves the fine cell structures of the brain where memory and identity exist.

Critics of cryonics think this process is a waste of time and money. They base their opinions on the current level of science. It is true that cells, tissues, blood vessels, and some small animal organs can be reversibly preserved. Some frogs can even survive for a few months in a partially frozen state if they are kept a few degrees above freezing. But this is not true cryopreservation. There is no proof that the identity and memory of a person can be restored after death has occurred.

Critics also think that if it were possible to bring dead people back to life, it would cause many social problems. Critics worry it would cause a huge overpopulation problem. Many also think trying to reverse death is immoral because it is against the will of their God.

【1】What can we know about cryonics from paragraph 1?

A.Cryonics is used before people's death.

B.All scientists aren't in favor of the use of cryonics.

C.Laws forbid the use of cryonics on legally dead people.

D.Cryonics tries to cool dead organic tissue by using liquid.

【2】What does the underlined word 'regenerate' in paragraph 2 mean?

A.copy.B.return.

C.freeze.D.regrow.

【3】Why do critics oppose the use of cryonics?

A.It will make people's memory lost.

B.Injury will occur during the process.

C.There is scientific uncertainty about it.

D.It goes along with their religious belief.

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A.The use of cryonics has a bright future.

B.Cryonics is still a controversial practice.

C.The practice of cryonics is limited by law.

D.There is an advance in medical technology.
