14.About five years ago,an American electrical engineer named Scott Brusaw and his wife Julie came up with the idea of putting solar panels(控制板)on the ground rather than the roof.Then they began to develop the Solar Roadway.The Solar Roadway is an intelligent road that provides clean renewable energy using power from the sun while providing safer driving conditions,along with power and data delivery.They predict that the Solar Roadway will pay for itself through the generation of electricity along with other forms of income and that the same money that is being used to build and resurface current roads can be used to build the Solar Roadways.
Each Solar Road Panel measures roughly 4 meters by 4 meters and contains a microprocessor that monitors and controls the panel,while communicating with neighboring panels and the vehicles travelling overhead.The inventors suggest that this provides a communications device every 4 meters on every road,which could be used for example to warn drivers of cars which are moving across a centre line and various other speed control problems.The top of the Solar Road panels is made of super-strong glass that would offer vehicles the tractions(抓地力)they need.
According to the inventors,the Solar Roadway creates and carries clean renewable electricity and therefore electric vehicles can be recharged at any conveniently located rest stop,or at any business that has paved Solar Road Panels in their parking lots.
The inventors say their Solar Roadway has many functions and advantages from main roads to driveways,parking lots,bike paths,sidewalks and runways.The Federal Highway Administration has given Brusaw$100,000 to develop the invention and Brusaw hopes to build a smart-road parking lot in the coming spring.
71.In the inventors'opinion,the Solar RoadwayD.
A.is too expensive to build at present
B.will bring them a large sum of money
C.can provide as many data as present computers
D.costs no more money than current roads
72.The underlined word"they"in Paragraph 2 refers toC.
A.the panels B.the inventors C.the vehicles D.the researchers
73.The Solar Roadway includes all the following advantages exceptA.
A.helping drivers communicate with each other while driving
B.providing safer driving conditions
C.creating and carrying clean renewable electricity
D.warning drivers of various speed control problems
74.It can be inferred from the text thatB.
A.the Solar Roadway has already been put into use
B.the Solar Roadway is not available for gas-powered cars
C.$100,000 is only enough to build a smart-road parking lot
D.future electric vehicles can be charged anytime and anywhere
75.What can be the best title for the text?B
A.The great changes on the roadway
B.Solar-powered smart road of the future
C.The influence the Solar Roadway has on people
D.The Solar Road-a much faster road.
分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了工程師們建立太陽能巷道的一個設想,他們希望能在不就得了將來實現(xiàn)幫助世人.
解答 71.D.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第一段"They predict that the Solar Roadway will pay for itself through the generation of electricity along with other forms of income and that the same money that is being usedto build and resurface current roads can be used to build the Solar Roadways."可以看出,此項發(fā)明,并不用花額外的錢.故選D.
72.C.推斷判斷題.句中的Them是一個代詞,主要指代的是上文提過的內容,所以將這個詞放在整句中分析,"Thetop of the Solar Road panels is made of super-strong glass that would offer vehicles the tractions(抓地力) they need."句中的 the Solar Road panels 是由超強的玻璃制成的,它向交通車輛提供(車輛)所需的地抓力;故選C.
73.A.推理判斷題.根據(jù)原文中第三段"According to the inventors,the Solar Roadway creates and carries clean renewable electricity and therefore electric vehicles can be recharged at any conveniently located rest stop,or at any business that has paved Solar Road Panels in their parking lots."可知太陽能巷道并不能幫助司機們互相交流;故選B.
74.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章第一段"The Solar Roadway is an intelligent road that provides clean renewable energy using power from the sun while providing safer driving conditions,along with power and data delivery"巷道是一個智能化的道路,太陽能提供清潔的可再生能源利用來自太陽的力量,提供更安全駕駛條件下,隨著電力和數(shù)據(jù)傳輸;可知太陽能道路不可用于天然氣動力車;故選B.
75.B.主旨大意題.通讀全文,可知文章主要講了工程師們建立太陽能巷道的一個設想,他們希望能在不就得了將來實現(xiàn)幫助世人;因此最佳標題為太陽能的未來的智能道路;故選B.
點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
