2.A pair of motorised shoes--the spnKiX that can propel the wearer at 10mph are expected to become a hit with comnluters,who travel a long distance to work every day,the Daily Mail reported.
The£415 battery powered creations are fastened to the owner's shoes and controlled via a wireless remote control.The spnKiX can travel between two and three miles per charge and steering is controlled by the wearer leaning into turns.Speed can be varied via the remote control and they come with removable training wheels to ease people into using them.
Designer Peter Treadway first came up with the idea five years ago after struggling to find a parking space.Since then he has created over30 models and is now set to release the shoes via his website in February.
Peter,from Los Angeles,California,said,"The idea just came to me one day when I was looking for a parking space in order to get some lunch.After driving around for half an hour I couldn't find one so had to drive back home instead.That got me thinking about a mode of transport that you could rise and then carry afterwards,thus spnKiX was born.
"We have had a lot of interest from commuters,who might only be travelling small distances and would like a cheap,environmental way of getting around.They are also getting a lot of attention from students.The shoes ale very easy to get used to-they almost feel like you are using a pair of roller skates.We have had some people concerned that they are just for lazy people,but actually there is quite a lot of exercise involved in turning corners and avoiding obstacles.They also mean people will be outdoors more often which can only be a good thing.Small rain or water pools on the street shouldn't be a problem but obviously they can't be drowned in water.They are easy to stop too,even if you are travelling downhill,they have a stoper like on roller skates."
The shoes are made from reinforced nylon and aluminium and can be fully charged in two to three hours.Peter added,"A lot of work has gone into creating them and we have spent a lot of time making them compact,easy to use and carry,and fun."

67.Why did Peter create this kind of shoes?C

C.can't be used during rainy days
D.will be known on the Internet
69.It can be inferred from the text thatB.

D.the spnkix takes a lot of time to pack firmly together.

分析 文章寫(xiě)了一種新型鞋子--spnKiX 即將成為消費(fèi)者的新寵及它的發(fā)明情況.

解答 ACDBA
66:A   主旨題.文章寫(xiě)了 spnKiX 的即將成為消費(fèi)者的新寵,寫(xiě)了它的發(fā)明情況.B項(xiàng),它的正確使用方法只是全文的一部分,目的是說(shuō)明它操作簡(jiǎn)便,所以B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤.
C項(xiàng),文章沒(méi)有明確提到寫(xiě)優(yōu)點(diǎn)一詞,所以C項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤.D項(xiàng),文章沒(méi)有介紹制作 spnKiX 的技術(shù),所以D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤.故正確答案為A.
67:C  細(xì)節(jié)題.由第三段第一句"Designer Peter Treadway first came up with the idea five years ago after struggling to find a parking space."可知正確答案為C.
68:D  細(xì)節(jié)題.由第三段最后一句"Since then he has created over30 models and is now set to release the shoes via his website in February."可知,人們可以在網(wǎng)上獲得關(guān)于這種鞋子的信息,所以D項(xiàng)符合題意.故正確答案為D.
69:B  推斷題.由第二段第一句"The£415 battery powered creations are fastened to the owner's shoes and controlled via a wireless remote control."可知,這種鞋子是電動(dòng)的,不會(huì)排放污染物,所以B項(xiàng)符合題意.故正確答案為B.
70:A  推斷題.倒數(shù)第二段中 Peter 說(shuō)出了這種鞋的許多優(yōu)點(diǎn),它幾乎沒(méi)有什么缺點(diǎn),所以 Peter 認(rèn)為它是一個(gè)非常棒的發(fā)明,A項(xiàng)符合題意.故正確答案為A.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 1、要想做好科普英語(yǔ)閱讀理解題,同學(xué)們就要注意平時(shí)多讀科普知識(shí)類文章,學(xué)習(xí)科普知識(shí),積累常見(jiàn)的科普詞匯,從根本上提高科普英語(yǔ)的閱讀能力.
2、要熟悉科普類文章的結(jié)構(gòu)特點(diǎn).科普類文章一般由標(biāo)題(Head line),導(dǎo)語(yǔ)(Introduction),背景(Back ground),主體(Main body)和結(jié)尾(End)五部分構(gòu)成.標(biāo)題是文章中心思想高度而又精辟的概括,但根據(jù)歷年的高考情況來(lái)看,這類閱讀理解材料一般不給標(biāo)題,而要同學(xué)們選擇標(biāo)題.導(dǎo)語(yǔ)一般位于整篇文章的首段.背景交待一個(gè)事實(shí)的起因.主體則對(duì)導(dǎo)語(yǔ)概括的事實(shí)進(jìn)行詳細(xì)敘述,這一部分命題往往最多,因此,閱讀時(shí),同學(xué)們要把這部分作為重點(diǎn).結(jié)尾往往也是中心思想的概括,并與導(dǎo)語(yǔ)相呼應(yīng),命題者常在此要設(shè)計(jì)一道推理判斷題.  
3、在進(jìn)行推理判斷時(shí),同學(xué)們一定要以閱讀材料所提供的科學(xué)事實(shí)為依據(jù),同時(shí)所得出的結(jié)論還應(yīng)符合基本的科普常識(shí).

10.People in communities have slowly been pushed apart through the years,mostly because people simply aren't taking the time to say a simple"hello".After considering this phenomenon,I decided I was going to change the way I got on (16)withothers.
My opportunity came one morning when I was in the community library.I passed by a girl (17)whodropped her books out of her locker.(18)Thinking  (think) that someone else would help her pick them up,I continued (19)myway.However,when I had to go back (20)because I forgot my book,I noticed she had just finished picking them up by herself.No one had stopped (21)to help (help) her.
"OK,"I thought to myself,"this is where I should have changed."
My best opportunity came a few days later when I saw a man sitting by himself waiting for the library to open,so I sat down next to him and (22)began (begin) a conversation.(23)It was difficult to get started,and even when I had to say goodbye,almost every response from my new friend had a tone (語(yǔ)氣) of doubt in it.And who could blame him?
People aren't used to making (24)an unprepared chat with a stranger.But a change,no matter how desperately it is needed,doesn't just happen.It takes people like us to make it possible.I advise you to take a small step out of your comfort zone and try to make someone's day a little (25)brighter (bright).Together,we can really make our society come closer as a whole.

17.Recently a man came to me,because he was told that there is fluid(積液)around his heart.After trying many drugs which were of no use to reduce the fluid,the doctor told him the only other choice was to have an operation.He refused because he knew that every illness has a mental cause and that if he had the operation but did not clear the mental cause,the fluid would return.At last,he searched the internet to find a metaphysical healer(玄學(xué)治療師),and he found me.
The mental cause of his disease was an experience of breaking up five years ago with several friends,whom he had known for over twenty.This experience broke his heart.Not knowing how to"mend"his broken heart,his body created a"repair"by surrounding his heart with fluid to protect it from the sad feelings.
Our work focused on reminding him of the feelings of being loved and forgiving his friends.Months later,his hearts was mended and the fluid disappeared.He left my office after the final session with a smile on his face and a spring in his step.
The key is:to create a healthy body,you must be healthy not only in body,but also in mind.
To be mentally healthy,you need to build up strong relationships.Creating strong relationships will insure that you are accompanied by a network of loving persons.It is important for building a support system that lifts your spirits.Even when you are alone,you will not feel lonely or upset.Strong relationships are not spaceships--they are not hard to build.

46.In order to cure his illness,which of the following ways did the patient try?B
①talking many medicines          ②having an operation
③seeing a metaphysical healer  ④visiting different doctors
A.②⑤B.①③C.①②③D.①②③④
47.The underlined word"It"in Paragraph 5refers to"C".
A.a(chǎn) mentally healthy body       B.a(chǎn) repaired heart
C.a(chǎn) network of loving persons   D.a(chǎn) support system
48.What is the main idea of the passage?D
A.Loving others will keep you in good spirits.
B.Heart illness can be cured without operation.
C.Creating strong relationships will keep you healthy.
D.Spiritual health is necessary for physical health.
49.Which of the following views may the writer agree to?B
A.Old friendship is easy to lose.
B.A good friendship is a useful medicine
C.The best doctor is your own body
D.It needs many efforts to build relationships
50.If this passage is continued with another paragraph,what would it be probably about?A
A.How to build strong relationships
B.How to protect your heart
C.How to keep healthy mentally
D.How to live a healthy life.

7.While the history of technology can be traced along many lines,one of the most amazing development is that of photo technology,the technology of light.From the prehistoric invention of fire to laser beams (激光束) and fiber optics (光纖),light has"continually occupied the minds of inventors".Their inventions fall into two groups:the use of light to help us see better and more interestingly,the use of light for purposes of communication.
The use of light for communicating is one of the major directions that technology has taken ever since the middle of the nineteenth century.From still photography to motion pictures to television (with a development from black-and-white to color imagery in each),photo technology has had a great effect upon mass communication and mass education.Unlike the printed words,visual images have more impact because they are more immediate.They copy reality in a way that the printed words cannot.Unlike letter shapes,they are not abstract; unlike words,they require no symbolic interpretation by the mind.Combined with the widespread and uniform spreading of such images,photo technology affects the thinking of vast audiences and shapes their view of reality.
Millions of Americans are affected by the commercially-inspired electronic manipulation (操作) of artificial images.We call it"entertainment"and can't wait to get more.
As the number of commercially available television channels grows,the viewer's freedom of choice increases,but so does the burden of that choice.Increasingly he is faced with a sea of in formation and is asked to make quick choices.
More significantly,the ease and rapidity of mass communication has created a supply of information greater than it can readily be absorbed.Flooded in the sea of information,the individual struggles to swim through it.

67.Prom the first paragraph1we can learn about the Technology of light thatD.
A.its practical use is only to enable people to see welt arid clearly
B.it achieved an amazing development in the early nineteenth century
C.its development is related to the study of the history of technology
D.it has aroused the interest of inventors ever since ancient times
68.Why do visual images differ from the printed words?Because theyD.
A.have much deeper meanings
B.enable the viewer to use his imagination fully
C.fail to produce a beneficial effect upon youngsters
D.have a greater immediate influence upon the viewer
69.According to the passage we can know thatA with the development of photo technology.
A.more and more television channels are opened
B.it takes less time for a new idea to be absorbed
C.the number of film goers has become greater
D.fewer and fewer people seem to prefer TV programs
70.The passage is mainly aboutC.
A.the history of technology
B.the speed of mass communication
C.the influence of light on communication
D.the great number of television channels.
