【題目】Experts have put forward detailed plans for a tunnel to join Taiwan with the Chinese mainland.

The shortest proposed route would be 126 kilometers—more than twice the length of the English Channel Tunnel.And the longest proposed route would be 207 kilometers.

A recent conference in Xiamen,Fujian Province brought together more than 70 experts.The event was co-sponsored(共同發(fā)起) by universities from Taiwan and the Chinese mainland.

Fujian is the province where both proposed routes would begin.

There is no direct passenger access between the mainland and Taiwan by air or sea at the moment.

Experts say that it is better to start research sooner rather than later,although there is a lack of government funding.There are no technical problems to build a Taiwan tunnel.But it will require an improved political relationship across the Straits(海峽).

A professor of Tsinghua University said,A special feature of huge projects is that the period of preparation is longer than the period of construction.

For examplehe said,the English Channel Tunnel took 14 years of planning and had been discussed for two centuries.And preparations for the huge Three Gorges(三峽) dam on the Yangtze River began in the 1950s.

The Xiamen conference focused on the longest southern route,which would use the Taiwan-controlled islands of Jinmen and Penghu as stepping stones.

The first stage of the new project could be a bridge to cross the five kilometres between Xiamen and Jinmen.This would mean that travelling from Xiamen to Jinmen by car would only take five minutes.

The longest tunnel now being planned anywhere in the world is the 54-kilometre land tunnel to link Lyon in France with Turin in Italy.The tunnel will not be completed until 2015-2020.

1Which is the longest tunnel in the world at present

A. The English Channel Tunnel.

B. The tunnel between Lyon and Turin.

C. The Taiwan Straits tunnel.

D. The passage doesnt mention it.

2The example of the English Channel Tunnel shows

.

A. its not easy to complete a huge project

B. there are many problems to be solved before doing something

C. discussions among countries usually take a lot of time

D.the preparation takes longer time than the construction

3 Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Universities both at home and abroad have sponsored the plan.

B. If the project is completed,the worlds longest tunnel will appear.

C. You cant reach Taiwan from the mainland directly at present.

D. The starting point of the proposed tunnel is in Fujian.

4 What is the possible difficulty in carrying out the plan?

A. The lack of money for the project from the government.

B. Improving the relationship between Taiwan and the mainland.

C. The detailed plans for the tunnel.

D. The technical problems with the tunnel.

【答案】1 D

2 D

3 A

4 B

【解析】1 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。題目問(wèn)的是現(xiàn)在世界上最長(zhǎng)的隧道,也就是說(shuō)已建成的隧道,故排除B、C兩項(xiàng)。英吉利海峽隧道在文中并未提到是否是最長(zhǎng)的,故選D。

2 推理判斷題。英吉利海峽隧道的例子是在第八段,它是緊接著第七段的,因此只是為了證明第七段的內(nèi)容,故D項(xiàng)正確。

3 推理判斷題。文章第三段只說(shuō)這個(gè)計(jì)劃是由臺(tái)灣和大陸的大學(xué)發(fā)起的,并沒(méi)提到國(guó)外大學(xué),因此A項(xiàng)不對(duì)。

4 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第六段中的require(需要)可知,這個(gè)方面還是障礙,故選B

【題目】As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.

In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.

In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information an the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夾). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交互記憶)”

According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.

1The passage begins with two questions to ________.

A. introduce the main topic B. show the author’s altitude

C. describe how to use the Interne D. explain how to store information

2What can we learn about the first experiment?

A. Sparrow’s team typed the information into a computer.

B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.

C. The first group did not try to remember the formation.

D. The second group did not understand the information.

3In transactive memory, people ________.

A. keep the information in mind

B. change the quantity of information

C. organize information like a computer

D. remember how to find the information

4What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research?

A. We are using memory differently.

B. We are becoming more intelligent.

C. We have poorer memories than before.

D. We need a better way to access information.
