26、Electric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, but they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins.

People in California love to talk about “zero-emissions (排放) vehicles”, but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants mostly use fire to make it. Apart from the few people who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators (发电机). Generators are fueled by something----usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal (地热) plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.

In other words, those “zero-emissions” cars are likely coal-burning cars. Because the coal is burned somewhere else, it looks clean. It is not true. It's as if the California Greens are covering their eyes----“If I can't see it, it's not happening.” Gasoline is an incredibly (极其) efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But when you take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat--at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc.

A gallon of gas may drive your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far---so electric cars burn more fuel than gasoline-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from wind or geothermal, or solar, then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical, and economic reasons, we don't use much of those energy sources.

In addition, electric cars' batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill (垃圾填埋场). And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When it's a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.

【1】Which of the following words can replace “be clueless about” in Paragraph 2?

A. be familiar with.   B. fail to understand.

C. be curious about.   D. show their interest in.

【2】The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car run _________.

A. at least 25 miles   B. more than 25 miles

C. less than 25 miles D. as far as 25 miles

【3】In the author’s opinion, compared with cars using gas, electric cars are more __________.

A. harmful B. expensive

C. efficient D. environmentally-friendly

【4】It can be inferred from the passage that __________.

A. electric cars’ batteries are no longer poisonous in the landfill

B. electric cars are not clean since we get electricity mainly by burning something

C. zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environment

D. now electric cars are used more than their gasoline-powered cousins

27、China now has 52 sites included on the UNESCO World Heritage List, which was established to safeguard unique and irreplaceable cultural and natural sites around the world. Let’s have a look at some of them, which may give you some clues on your next travel plan.

Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor

The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is located in Lintong county, near Xi’an city, capital of Shaanxi province. A total of 8,000 life-size terracotta warriors, chariots and horses, and hundreds of bronze weapons have been unearthed from it. Many state leaders and experts worldwide believe that the discovery of the mausoleum is a major archeological find and can be called the eighth wonder of the world, paralleling Egypt’s pyramids.

Kulangsu, a Historic International Settlement

Gulangyu Island, known in the local dialect as Kulangsu, is located on the entry of the Jiulong River, facing the city of Xiamen. The island was occupied by at least a dozen countries, including Great Britain, France and Japan. As a result, Western culture grew rapidly there in the 19th century, especially music. With such a harmonious blend of Western music and Eastern culture, Gulangyu is naturally referred to as the “island of music”. It is famous for its outstanding musicians and musical instruments.

Qinghai Hoh Xil

Hoh Xil, which means “beautiful girl” in Mongolian, is located in the north-eastern end of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve is China’s largest and the world’s third largest uninhabited area. Because of the high altitude and fierce weather, it is impossible for people to live there, and therefore, it is a paradise for wildlife and home to more than 230 species of wild animals including endangered species such as the Tibetan antelope, which is recognized as the National Class I Protected animal.

Huangshan Mountain

Huangshan, known as “the loveliest mountain of China”, lies in the south of Anhui province in eastern China. The scenic area covers 154 sq km, and is famous for its peaks, rocks, pines, clouds and springs. It also has a rich cultural heritage. Xu Xiake, a famous traveler of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), visited Huangshan twice, and described it in a poem, calling it the best of all mountains in China. Today it holds the same fascination for visitors, poets, painters and photographers.

【1】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?

A. Qinghai Hoh Xil is the largest uninhabited area in the world.

B. Kulangsu was occupied for not less than a dozen years.

C. Mausoleum is located in the capital city of Shaanxi province.

D. Huangshan Mountain is well known for its magnificent scenery.

【2】Why is Qinghai Hoh Xil a paradise for wildlife living there?

28、Online clothes shoppers will be told exactly what size is best for them using new software which combines with their webcam(网络摄像头) or smart phone to form a 3D tape measure.

Scientists from Surrey University and design experts from the London College of Fashion are developing a program which can take precise waist, hip, chest and other measurements from camera images.

Using the person's height as a starting point, the software will be able to build up a 3D image and estimate their size at various different points on the body, based on their overall proportions. The result will be a more accurate sizing guide than previous systems based on waist size or a “small/medium/large” scale, which rely on limited measurements and the buyer's perception of their own body size.

Shoppers and retailers(零售商) who choose to sign up for the project could save millions of pounds a year in postage costs by removing the need to order multiple sizes of the same garment and send back illfitting clothes, researchers claimed. The project, sponsored by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council(EPSRC), is expected to be brought to market within two years.

After choosing an item, the shopper will activate the software, enter their height, stand in front of their webcam or smart phone in their underwear and take a photograph.

The software will not store or transmit the image to the Internet, but will use it to judge the person's dimensions at various points on their body.

Philip Delamore of the London College of Fashion said, “The potential benefits for the fashion industry and for shoppers are huge. Currently, it's common for online shoppers to order two or three different sizes of the same item of clothing at the same time, as they're unsure which one will fit best.”

【1】What is the essential part of a 3D tape measure?

A. A webcam.   B. A software.

C. A microphone.   D. A smart phone.

【2】What can we learn about the 3D tape measure?

A. It will store or transmit the image to the Internet.

B. It is based on the buyer's perception of their size.

C. It will be a co-working production.

D. It uses a person's weight as a starting point.

【3】How can the 3D tape measure benefit online shoppers?

A. Online shoppers will get their ordered garment in time.

B. Online shoppers will get their ordered garment more quickly.

C. Online shoppers will get an ordered garment of high quality.

D. Online shoppers will get an ordered garment to their measure.

【4】What is the right order for a shopper to form a 3D tape measure?

①to take a photo with a webcam  

②to activate the software

③to enter his/her height

④to judge his/her size by analysing his/her image

A. ②③①④   B. ②①③④

C. ①②③④   D. ②③④①

29、A description of the threat hanging over the world’s mammals, reptiles, amphibians and other life forms has been published by the well-known scientific journal, Nature. A special analysis carried out by the journal indicates that an astonishing 41% of all amphibians on the planet now face extinction while 26% of mammal species and 13% of birds are similarly threatened.

In each case, the finger of blame points directly at human activities The continuing spread of agriculture is destroying millions of hectares of wild habitats every year, leaving animals without homes, while the introduction of newly-come species, often helped by humans, is also damaging native populations. At the same time, pollution and overfishing are destroying ocean ecosystems.

“Habitat destruction, pollution or overfishing either kill off wild creatures and plants or leave them badly weakened,” said Derek Tittensor, an ocean ecologist at the World Conservation Monitoring Centre in Cambridge. “The trouble is that in coming decades, the additional threat of worsening climate change will become more and more common and will then kill off these survivors.”

The problem, according to Nature, is worsened because of the huge gaps in scientists’ knowledge about the planet’s biodiversity. Evaluations of the total number of species of animals and plants alive vary from 2 million to 50 million. In addition, evaluations of current rates of species’ disappearances vary from 500 to 36,000 a year. “That is the real problem we face,” added Tittensor. “The scale of uncertainty is huge.”

In the end, however, the data indicate that the world is heading cruelly towards a mass extinction — which is defined as one involving a loss of 75% of species or more. This could arrive in less than a hundred years or could take a thousand, depending on extinction rates.

【1】What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?

A．Figures about some wild animals are astonishing.

B．“Nature” is the famous journal around the world.

C．Many endangered species are close to extinction.

D．Some rare species have appeared around the world.

【2】From the text we know that the future threat to creatures and plants is ______.

A．destruction of habitats

B．overfishing and pollution

C．the worsening climate change

D．human activities

【3】What is the real problem we are facing now according to paragraph 4?

A．The killing of wild creatures and cutting of trees.

B．The global warming caused by human beings.

C．The destruction of ocean ecosystem by pollution.

D．Evaluation of current rates of species’ disappearances.

【4】What does “This” in the last sentence refer to ______?

A．Mass extinction

B．Extinction rates

C．Extinction time

D．75% of species or more
