14．Few people know the fact________was not until 1936 that basketball became a regular part of the Olympic Games.

A．it that B．that it C．that D．it

答案 B

解析分析句子结构是做对该题的关键，the fact后的句子是对fact内容的进一步解释，是同位语从句，语意完整，用that引导，而且that不可省略；由句中“not until 1936 that...”可知是not...until结构的强调句型，应是it was not until...that，故选B。

15．—I’d prefer to spend this Sunday with my classmates on the seashore.

C．Let me see. D．Well done!

A

It may happen sooner or later：when books，toys，songs，snacks，video games，and DVDs have lost their charm，your child begins to say，“I’m bored！Tell me a story，please.”Your mind goes blank and your child looks at you with great expectation.What should you do?

You may not realize it，but you have a wealth of stories to share.Personal stories，particularly from your

childhood or from books you’ve read，are good starters.

Some kids enjoy stories about characters from their favorite books.Whether you take Little Chick on a walk through the barnyard or Firefighter Bob on an exciting drive through the city，don’t worry too much about plot(故事情节)．Young kids will enjoy them very much.

Some kids can appreciate a funny twist，so take a favorite story and turn it upside down by changing the setting，characters，or plot.Make your child the main character in a funny adventure that fits his interests.

When did you lose your first tooth？Who was a favorite teacher of yours？Thinking about Mommy or Daddy as a little kid may excite the imagination.And there’s nothing more delightful than a story about the time a parent did some tricks and their results.Kids delight in these short experiences of a past that are connected to them.

When you tell stories，you show how to put words together to make meaning.You share something new about yourself that your kids may find interesting or exciting and that might be a starting point for questions and discussions.Above all，you develop a love of words that kids will have for life.

So take a deep breath and begin：“Once upon a time...”

Wen said they could feel the warmth and intimacy of the Taiwan people everywhere they went.Wen is part of one of the first mainland groups to fly directly to Taiwan in six decades.He reached Taiwan with his group on Friday on one of the chartered weekend flights.

The direct flights carrying mainland tourists to Taiwan and vice-versa have been described by Kuomintang honorary chairman(国民党名誉主席)Lien Chan as a great contributor to peaceful cross-Taiwan Straits ties and the opening of a new page in the China’s prosperity.“We had been waiting for the day for almost 60 years，and had gone through some difficult periods，”Lien said at a meeting with Shao Qiwei，chairman of the Cross-Straits Tourism Communication Association，on Saturday.

B．Taiwan people welcomed mainland tourists warmly.

C．Mainland tourists acted as film stars when journalists clicked their photographs.

42．There have been no direct flights carrying mainland tourists to Taiwan for________.

A．almost 60 years B．no more than 60 years

解析细节题。由第四段第一句可知。

C

George Stephenson’s father was a stoker(司炉)of a coal engine near Newcastle upon Tyne in English.When George was fourteen he became his father’s assistant at a shilling a day.He loved engines and spent all his spare time studying them.That was in 1795，and in those days all steam engines were stationary(固定的)．They were used to pull trucks along rails with a chain or rope.

In 1804，Richard Trevithick built an engine on wheels，and several other engineers built locomotives(火车头)，as they were called，each one trying to make a better machine than the others.George Stephenson himself tried to build a locomotive.

Stephenson built his first locomotive in 1814，and he kept on trying to improve it.When the first public

railway was opened between Stochton and Darlington in 1825，it was his engine，called Locomotion，that pulled the first goods train in the world，with a few passengers on board.

Stephenson’s most famous engine was The Rocket，which his son Robert helped to design.In 1829，a prize of 500 pounds was offered to the designer of the best locomotive.Five engines took part in the tests and The Rocket proved to be the best in every way.It astonished everyone by pulling a train at the wonderful speed of 30 miles an hour.With Robert，George Stephenson became the leading railway engineer in the world，both for building engines and making railways.English had interesting names in those days，and the very famous one was called Puffing Billy.

44．George Stephenson’s interest in engines started from________.

A．his love of engines at his time

B．his study of engines at spare time

C．his one-shilling income from his father

D．his experience of working with his father

答案 D

解析文章第一段中指出：斯蒂芬森从十四岁起做父亲的助手，并且把所有的空闲时间都花在研究火车引擎上面，由此可见，他的兴趣是从跟随父亲工作开始的，故D项为正确答案。

45．Stephenson began to work on locomotives at the time when________.

A．some kinds of locomotives had already been built

B．no one could build a better one than his

C．only Trevithick made an engine on wheels

D．engines on wheels were not known as locomotives

答案 A

解析文章第二段很清楚地告诉我们：Richard Trevithick在1804年制造了一个火车头，其他一些工程师也建造了火车头，在这些之后，斯蒂芬森才开始制造，所以A项为正确选项。

46．Engines could be used to carry passengers________after the building of engines on wheels.

A．ten years B．twenty-five years

C．twenty-one years D．thirty years

答案 C

解析此题为推论题。第二段提到：1804年，理查德·待里维西克建造了火车头，第三段又讲到：1825年，火车拉运了第一批货物和乘客，仔细推算，可知二者之间时间间隔为21年。故选C项。

47．The Rocket aroused people’s interest because it________.

A．won the prize

B．could run much faster

C．was the best of the five locomotives

D．was designed by Stephenson

答案 B

解析根据文中“It astonished everyone by pulling a train at the wonderful speed of 30 miles an hour.(火车头)带动火车以每小时30英里的惊人速度运行震惊了每个人。”可知The Rocket引擎之所以激起了人们的兴趣是因为它速度更快，所以B项正确。

D

Leading investors have joined the growing chorus of concern about governments and companies rushing into producing biofuels as a solution for global warming，saying that many involved in the sector could be jeopardizing future profits if they do not consider the long-term impact of what they are doing carefully.

It is essential to build sustainability criteria into the supply chain of any green fuel project in order to ensure that there is no adverse effect on the surrounding environment and social structures.The report produced by the investors expresses concern that many companies may not be fully aware of the potential pitfalls in the biofuel sector.

Production of corn and soya beans has increased dramatically in the last years as an eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuels but environmental and human rights campaigners are worried that this will lead to destruction of rain forests.Food prices could also go up as there is increased competition for crops as both foodstuffs and sources

of https://www.360docs.net/doc/855610011.html,st week，the UN warned that biofuels could have dangerous side effects and said that steps need to be taken to make sure that land converted to grow biofuels does not damage the environment or cause civil unrest.There is already great concern about palm oil，which is used in many foods in addition to being an important biofuel，as rain forests are being cleared in some countries and people driven from their homes to create palm oil plantations.

An analyst and author of the investors’report says that biofuels are not a cure for climate change but they can play their part as long as governments and companies manage the social and enviromental impacts thoroughly.There should also be greater measures taken to increase efficiency and to reduce demand.

48．What is the best title of this passage?

A．Worries about Global Warming

B．Our World Is Going Green

C．Biofuel and Environment

D．New Energy Resource—Biofuels

答案 C

解析考查标题判断题。纵观全文可以看出，生物燃料和环境的关系是文章的主旋律。

49．In the first paragraph there is a concern that________.

A．biofuel industry isn’t booming

B．the quality of biofuels hasn’t improved

C．biofuels aren’t a way for global warming

D．biofuel producers may get less reward

答案 D

解析考查细节理解题。由第一段的“...saying that many involved in the sector could be jeopardizing(危及)future profits”可以看出，生物燃料的生产者有得到较少回报的风险。其他各项均可排除。

50．As is suggested in the passage，some measures should he taken to________.

A．keep biofuel industry developing soundly

B．prevent biofuel industry developing slowly

C．make people realize climate change

D．raise awareness about global warming

答案 A

解析考查推理判断题。由第三段的“...steps need to be taken to make sure that land converted to grow biofuels does not damage the environment or cause civil unrest.”可知答案。题干中“measures”就是原文的“steps”，选项中的“soundly”就是原文中的“does not damage the environment or cause civil unrest”，注意同义替代现象是解决此题的关键。
