Ⅱ.阅读理解

A

Heading overseas on a business trip or just for pleasure any time soon？If so，have you thought about what you are going to do about communication？You may need to arrange cab service or get directions to an attraction，not to mention you want to stay in touch with the folks back home.

Hope you aren’t counting_on your personal cell phone.Industry experts estimate that most American cell phones won’t work overseas due to compatibility (兼容性) issues.And even if yours did work，the roaming (漫游) charges would be too high.

So what are your choices？You could rent a phone with a local number in the country you’re traveling to，but that wouldn’t do you much good if you’re constantly on the go.A more cost-effective way would be to rent a satellite phone from a company like Global Cellular Rental.

The process is amazingly fast and simple.All you have to do is to log onto the company’s website，https://www.wendangku.net/doc/c917967788.html,，and place an order.The site will show you the countries you will be traveling to and ask you how long you will need the phone.The company then ships a cell phone directly to you anywhere in the world.The phone arrives with complete instructions.T he traveler also learns his overseas phone number well in advance，enabling him to inform all vital contacts of the number before he ever steps on a plane.

Roaming rates are usually 80 percent less than those charged by American service providers.Calls back to the US can be discounted 40 percent or more.The rentals cost is just $5 per day，and discount packages are available for long-term rentals of two months or more.

This cell phone solution is becoming so popular that Global Cellular Rental actually has relationships with hotel chains around the world to keep phones in stock for hotel guests.And for those whose journey really takes them off the beaten track，the company can also rent satellite

phones to them.These phones work anywhere in the world as long as you are outside.

2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．You must place an order on its website.

B．Discount packages need to be applied in advance.

C．The Global Cellular Rental is an American company.

One of the world’s richest men has taken a close interest in one of man’s most basic functions：visiting the toilet.Bill Gates’s charitable organization，the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation，is looking for inventors to design the loo of the future，which，they hope，would improve sanitation for millions of people around the world.

So，what’s wrong with the traditional flush toilet？Firstly，it wastes a huge amount of potential drinking water.Secondly，they are more likely to cause pollution.This is a real problem in many areas of the developing world，where，according to United Nations estimates，unsafe sanitation causes half of all hospitalizations.Younger people are particularly at risk.Illnesses which cause diarrhea are responsible for the deaths of about 1.5 million children a year.Finally，standard lavatories simply aren’t practical in remote areas.

The challenge set by Bill Gates was to come up with a latrine which works without running water，electricity or aseptic tank.It also needed to operate for less than 5 cents.28 designs were displayed at the recent Reinvent the Toilet Fair，in Seattle，USA.Among them was one which turned human waste into electricity using microwaves，another which converted human waste into charcoal，and yet another which used urine for flushing.

But the winner was a solar-powered design which generated hydrogen gas and electricity. The team from the California Institute of Technology(CIT) picked up a prize of $100,000.

But clearly Bill Gates doesn’t feel he’s flushing_money_down_the_toilet.After the Seattle event he said，“We couldn’t be happier with the response we’ve gotten.”Gates has even pledged $370 million more to the future toilet project.They hope to field test more prototypes over the next three years.

6．Why is Bill Gates paying people to invent new toilets?

A．Because he wants to test people’s sense of creativity.

B．Because he wants to improve sanitation for many people.

C．Because he thinks the traditional ones are out of fashion.

D．Because he can’t design this kind of things himself.

答案 B

解析根据第一段最后一句“...which，they hope，would improve sanitation for millions of people around the world.”可知他希望这会改善全世界数以百万人的卫生环境。7．Which of the following is NOT a problem with the traditional flush toilet?

A．They waste too much water.

B．They might cause diseases.

C．They are not always practical.

D．They are too complicated to use.

答案 D

解析第二段讲的是传统抽水马桶的问题。第二段第二句“Firstly，it wastes a huge amount of potential drinking water.”可对应答案A项；第三句“Secondly，they are more likely to cause pollution.”可对应答案B项；最后一句“Finally，standard lavatories simply aren’t practical in remote areas.”可对应答案C项。文中没有提到D项。

8．The underlined word “latrine”in the third paragraph might have similar meanings to the word “________” in the text.

A．loo B．sanitation

C．diarrhea D．prototype

答案 A

解析根据第一段前两句可知toilet和loo是同义词，也就是说loo是“厕所”的意思。

根据第三段划线词所在的句子的意思可知，比尔·盖茨提出的这个问题的挑战性在于，人们要设计出一个不用流水，不用电和无菌桶的latrine。因此，latrine的意思应该是“厕所”。

9．The team from CIT won the prize because their design ________.

A．can change human waste into electricity

B．can turn human waste into charcoal

C．can produce power with solar energy

D．can use urine for flushing

答案 C

解析根据倒数第二段第一句“But the winner was a solar-powered design which generated hydrogen gas and electricity.”可知获胜者设计了太阳能装臵，能产生氢气和电。10．If someone “flush money down the toilet”，they are ________.

A．showing off their wealth

B．being angry with their work conditions

C．wasting money for nothing

D．expressing their great determination

答案 C

解析由最后一段“比尔·盖茨并不是在……，他对未来厕所的工程又投入了一部分钱”

可知flush money down the toilet，意思是“徒然浪费钱”。

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

People in California love to talk about “zero-emissions vehicles”，but_people_in_California_seem_to_be_clueless_about_where_electricity_comes_from.Power plants mostly use fire to make it.Aside from the new folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells，we get our electricity from generators.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(地热的) 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.It’s just because the coal is burned somewhere else that it looks clean.It is not.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 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(传送) lines，etc.

A gallon of gas may propel 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 gas-powered ones.If our electricity came mostly from nukes；or geothermal，or hydro，or solar，or wind，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.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 too concentrated，but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot. 1．What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph 2?

A．People see the California Greens everywhere.

B．People in California love to talk about zero-emissions vehicles.

C．People in California love to have their roofs covered with solar cells.

D．People in California have no idea that so far electricity mainly comes from burning coal，oil，etc.

答案 D

解析句意理解题。由划线句及后文对电能来源的解释可知，此处指人们并不知道电能来自于煤和石油的燃烧。

2．What is the main idea of the text?

A．Electric cars are not clean at all.

B．Electric cars are better than gasoline-powered ones.

C．People cast doubts on electric cars’ batteries.

D．Gasoline is an efficient way to power a vehicle.

答案 A

解析主旨大意题。文章首段开门见山指明了全文的主题Electric cars are dirty，随后的几段都是围绕这一点展开的，即通过各种论据来证明“电能汽车并不清洁”这一论点。3．The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car run ________.

A．not less than 25 miles

B．as far as 50 miles

C．as far as 25 miles

D．not more than 25 miles

答案 D

解析细节理解题。根据第四段第一、二句“A gallon of gas...the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won’t get you nearly as far...”可知，同样用一加仑的汽油，电能汽车所能行驶的路程及不上燃油汽车，即不会超过25英里。

4．According to the text，electric cars ________.

A．are more environmentally friendly

B．burn more fuel than gas-powered ones

C．are very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated

D．are poisonous for a long time and will eventually end up in a landfill

答案 B

解析细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第二句可知。

5．It can be inferred from the text that ________.

A．being green is good and should be encouraged in communication
