8.The city of the future
What will the city of the future look like?No one knows for sure,and making predictions (61)is(be) a risky business.But one thing is certain---they are going to get bigger before they get smaller.We will use lots of (62)recycled(recycle) materials,such as plastic aluminums,steel,glass,wood and paper,and we will waste fewer (63)natural(nature) resources.We will also have to rely more(64)onalternative energy,such as solar and wind power.
A teacher at (65)auniversity in the United States asked his students to think(66)howthey would run a city of 50,000people in the year 2025.Here are some of the ideas they had:
Garbage ships  To get rid of garbage problems,the city will load huge spaceships with waste materials and send them towards the sun,(67)preveting(prevent) landrills and environmental problems.
Cars  All cars will be powered by electricity,solar energy or wind,and(68)itwill be possible to change the color of cars at the flick of a switch.
Telesurgery  Distance surgery will become common as doctors carry out operations from thousands of miles away,with each city (69)having(have) its own telesurgery outpatient clinic.
Holiday at home  Senior citizens and people with disabilities will be able to go anywhere in the world using high-tech cameras(70)attached (attach) to their head.

分析 未來(lái)的城市會(huì)是什么樣子呢?沒(méi)有人確切的了解,預(yù)測(cè)也是一件很危險(xiǎn)的事.在未來(lái),愛(ài)護(hù)環(huán)境將會(huì)很重要,因?yàn)榈厍虻馁Y源將瀕臨枯竭.我們將會(huì)使用大量的可回收材料;我們也將不得不更多地依賴其他能源;城市將會(huì)用巨型宇宙飛船裝載廢棄材料,朝太陽(yáng)射,這樣做防止了垃圾填埋和環(huán)境間題;所有的汽車部將由電能、太陽(yáng)能或風(fēng)能提供動(dòng)力;年長(zhǎng)的市民和殘疾人通過(guò)使用綁在頭上的高新技術(shù)相機(jī)可以周游世界.

解答 61.is;考查主謂一致,動(dòng)名詞短語(yǔ)making predictions 做主語(yǔ),句子的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要用單數(shù)形式,故此處用is.
2.recycled;考查分詞作定語(yǔ),現(xiàn)在分詞作定語(yǔ)表示主動(dòng),過(guò)去分詞作定語(yǔ)表示被動(dòng),此處 materials與動(dòng)詞recycle應(yīng)是被動(dòng)關(guān)系,故用過(guò)去分詞作定語(yǔ).
63.natural;考查形容詞,此處用形容詞作定語(yǔ)修飾名詞resources.
64.on;考查介詞,rely on是固定搭配,意為"依賴,依靠",句意為"我們將更多的依靠非傳統(tǒng)的能源". 
65.a(chǎn);考查冠詞,此處用不定冠詞a表示泛指,泛指"一所大學(xué)".
66.how;考查賓語(yǔ)從句,分析句意為"一位大學(xué)老師讓他的學(xué)生思考如何管理一個(gè)在2025 年擁有5萬(wàn)人口的城市",所以這里用how表示"方式".
67.preveting;考查分詞作狀語(yǔ),分析句意為"這樣做防止了…",故此處用現(xiàn)在分詞形式作狀語(yǔ),表示主動(dòng)關(guān)系.
68.it;考查固定句型,此處it在句中作形式主語(yǔ),真正的主語(yǔ)為后面的不定式短語(yǔ).
69.having;考查with復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu),在這個(gè)復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)中,city與動(dòng)詞have存在邏輯上的主謂關(guān)系,故用現(xiàn)在分詞形式having. 
70.a(chǎn)ttached;考查分詞短語(yǔ)作定語(yǔ),high-tech cameras與動(dòng)詞attach是被動(dòng)關(guān)系,所以這里用過(guò)去分詞形式作后置定語(yǔ).

點(diǎn)評(píng) 首先要通讀全文,了解大意,抓住上下文語(yǔ)境所提供的信息,仔細(xì)分析帶空格的句子,明確空格所要填的詞義,詞型和短語(yǔ)搭配,給出所要填的正確形式,然后整體閱讀短文,核對(duì)答案.

16.As we all know,doctors are terrible pilots.They don't listen because they already know it all.I was lucky:I became a pilot in 1970,almost ten years before I graduated from medical school.I didn't realize then,but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon.I loved flying.As I flew bigger,faster planes,and in worse weather,I learned about crew resource management(機(jī)組資源管理),or CRM,a new idea to make flying safer.It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result,regardless of positions.
I first read about CRM in 1980.Not long after that,an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather.The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready.The attending doctor was flying; I was safety pilot.He was so busy because of the bad turn,he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架) down.He was a better pilot-and my boss-so it felt unusual to speak up.But I had to:Our lives were in danger.I put aside my uneasiness and said,"We need to put the landing gear down now!"That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM,and I've used it in the operating room ever since.
CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up.It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite,the doctor doesn't overreact,which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again.So when I'm in the operating room,I ask for ideas and help from others.Sometimes they're not willing to speak up.But I hope that if I continue to encourage them,someday someone will keep me from"landing gear up".
32.What does the author say about doctors in general?D
A.They pretend to be good pilots.
B.They are quick learners of CRM.
C.They like flying by themselves.
D.They are unwilling to take advice.
33.The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM whenC.
A.his boss landed the plane too late
B.his boss operated on a patient
C.he saved the plane by speaking up
D.he was in charge of a flying task
34.In the last paragraph"landing gear up"probably meansB.
A.listening to what fellow doctors say
B.making a mistake that may cost lives
C.following flying requirements
D.overreacting to different opinions
35.Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of this passage?C
A.The Making of a Good Pilot
B.CRM:A New Way to Make Flying Safe
C.Flying Makes Me a Better Doctor
D.A Pilot-Turned Doctor.

20.I used to think that life in Jim Thorpe,Pennsylvania,was filled with never-changing routines.I hated that everyone seemed to know everything about everyone else.Everyone seemed to enjoy talking about other people and their lives.I also didn't like the fact that people seemed very close-minded.I felt trapped.I felt like I was missing out on opportunities.It seemed to me that city life would be the opposite.
Then I took my first trip to New York City.I couldn't wait to experience the city.However,when I arrived in the Big Apple,it wasn't at all what I had imagined.I knew it was home to thousands of people,but I hadn't had the least expectation to see so many people on the street at one time.All the streets were filled with people.I also felt a little surprised to see that everyone was in a hurry and everything moved at such a fast pace.When I took the subway for the first time,I said hello to the middle-aged woman next to me.She looked at me with dislike and didn't say a word.
After just one day,I realized how important my small town is to me.Now I appreciate the familiar faces I see every day.I like the feeling of security(安全) and belonging my town offers.Jim Thorpe gives me a sense of community and togetherness that the city doesn't provide.I realize just how much a simple hello does for a stranger-it really can make your day a little better.
My big trip showed me that my small town really has instilled(注入) morals and values in me that I didn't even know I had.I never would have known what a big place my town holds in my heart if I had not taken that trip to New York City.
24.How did the author feel about life in Jim Thorpe at first?C
A.People there cared little about others.
B.People there liked to accept new things.
C.Living there was a great disadvantage.
D.There were many chances of career development.

A.The gestures of greeting.
B.The modern transportation.
C.The fast pace of life.

9.A unique thermo-solar power station Germasolar in southern Spain can work even on cloudy days energy stored when the sun shines lets it produce electricity even during the night.
It is the first solar power station in the world that works 24 hours a day!This is how it works:the panels reflect the sun's rays onto the tower,transmitting energy 1,000 times stronger than that of the sun's rays reaching the earth.Energy is stored in tanks,and then steam is produced before finally turned into electricity.
It is the station's capacity to store plenty of energy that makes Gemasolar so different because it allows the plant to transmit power during the night,relying on energy it has gained during the day.
Helped by the generous state aid,renewable energies have enjoyed a boom in Spain,the world number two in solar energy and the biggest wind power producer in Europe,ahead of Germany.
For the Gemasolar solar product,foreign investors helped too:Torresol Energy is a joint enterprise between the Spanish engineering group Sener,which holds 60 percent,and Abu Dhabi-financed renewable energy firm Masdar.
This type of station is expensive,not because of the raw material we use,which is free solar energy,but because of the enormous investment these plants require.The investment cost is over 200 million euros ($ 260 million).But the day when the business has repaid that money to the banks (maybe,in 18 years,someone estimates),this station will become a 1,000-euro note printing machine!
For now,the economic crisis has nevertheless cast a shadow over this kind of project:Spain is battling to cut its deficit (赤字) as it slides into a difficult time and has cancelled aid to new renewable energy projects.
63.Which of the following pictures most probably shows how the thermo-solar power station works?A

64.What is NOT the reason for this power station being unique?A
A.It is the first solar power station which costs over 200 million euros.
B.It is the first solar power station in the world working around the clock.
C.It even works well when it is cloudy.
D.Its capacity to store energy is large.
65.What makes Germasolar expensive?A
A.The cost to build such a station.
B.The raw material used.
C.The debt owed to the bank.
D.Being a euro note printing machine.
66.What can we learn from the passage?D
A.Spain is building more energy projects.
B.The Spanish government will aid renewable energy projects.
C.The Spanish government ignores the development of this project.
D.Germasolar will make fortunes in the future.
