2011年高考英语 阅读理解分类汇编之新闻报道类
专题05阅读理解新闻类(考情分析真题回顾最新模拟试题)-高考英语二轮复习核心专题
专题05高考阅读理解新闻报道一、考情分析在信息时代的今天，我们必须关注国内外的重要事件。
近年来，英美国家主流媒体已经成为全国各省市高考阅读理解命题文章的主流题源，如《时代》、《科学美国人》、《洛杉矶时报》、《卫报》、《读者文摘》等。
因而时文报道类(也称新闻报道类)文章也是阅读理解中必不可少的。
时文报道类文章一般以记叙文为主，命题文章话题涵盖广泛，有关于政治经济的时文报道，有社会生活中发生的大小事件，还有个人成长的经历趣闻。
文章的特点是用非常简练的语言清楚地向读者阐述一件事，在写作手法上遵循的原则地、何人、何事、结果)——具体描述该事件(细节内容)——作者或其他人的看法和评价。
不过，在表达方式上，作者会运用各种表达方式，如倒叙、插叙等，思维的跳跃性较大。
一、语篇结构新闻报道一般来说由四个部分构成：标题(headline)、导语(lead)，正文(body)和结语(ending)。
标题通常起着提纲挈领、吸引受众的作用，被视为新闻的“眼睛”；导语概括通篇，旨在导读，被视为新闻的“灵魂”；正文则具体描写，被视为新闻的“躯干”; 结语总结概括，重申主题或者升华主题。
一篇新闻报道首要吸引人注意的部分是它的标题。
英语新闻报道的标题力求用一句话来概括整个新闻的内容。
因为标题揭示的是新闻最主要的、读者最关心的核心内容。
近年来高考新闻类文章一般隐去标题，却在设题时要求考生自拟标题，考查学生对文章的概括能力，有助于培养学生的思维品质，实际上提升了对学生阅读能力的要求。
新闻的开篇是导语部分。
导语部分是用一段有趣的轶闻或者新闻中关键的事实引出整个文章的主题(Theme)，使读者能够获取最具价值的信息，并有兴趣继续读下去。
英语新闻的导语一般是文章第一或第一、二段，用简明生动的语言将新闻最具价值、最新鲜的内容或典型例子放在开头，引出文章主题，最多不超过三个自然段，能全部或部分回答Who, What, When, Where, Why, How等问题。

ASince 1984, Philadelphia has been cleaning up its act. One by one, graffiti-covered walls are being changed into outdoor art. So far, more than 1,800 murals（壁画）have been painted. Philadelphia now has more murals than any other American city.The walls that were once ugly with graffiti（涂鸦）are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art, thanks to the Mural Arts Program (MAP). Its work makes schools and public places attractive, and its citizens very proud. The program began as part of Philadelphia's Anti-Graffiti Network. Jane Golden is the MAP's artistic director. "When people ask me what our program is about," she says, "I answer them with one word: hope." Each year, the MAP offers youth art programs and workshops. Some one-time graffiti writers even help paint MAP murals.The MAP's work, says Golden, is all about developing a sense of community（社区）. When a neighborhood requests a mural, the MAP works with the people there to develop a message. Some messages have been "Safe Streets," "Love and Care," and "Peace Walk."The MAP receives up to 50 requests for murals each week. Last year, the workers painted 140 murals."The making of a mural enters people's collective memory as an extraordinary, pleasant moment in neighborhood history" says Golden, who began as a muralist in Los Angeles.41. What can be the best title for the text?A. Love, from Graffiti Writers to Muralists.B. MAP, a New Company in Philadelphia.C. Jane, an Excellent Mural Artist.D. Hope, One Wall at a Time.42. What is the Mural Arts Program in Philadelphia aimed at?A. Helping the young find jobs.B. Protecting the neighborhood.C. Fighting against graffiti.D. Attracting more visitors.43. How does the MAP decide on the message for a mural?A. By having discussions with people in the community.B. By seeking advice from the city government.C. By learning from the young graffiti writers.D. By studying the history of the city.44. Which of the following words best describes the work of the MAP?A. Difficult.B. Dangerous.C. Experimental.D. Successful.BFor those who study the development of intelligence（智力）in the animal world, self-awareness is an important measurement. An animal that is aware（意识）of itself has a high level of intelligence.Awareness can be tested by studying whether the animal recognizes itself in the mirror, that is, its own reflected image （反射出的影像）.Many animals fail this exercise bitterly, paying evry little attention to the reflected image. Only humans, and some intelligent animals like apes and dolphins, have shown to recognize that the image in the mirror is of themselves.Now another animal has joined the club. In the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers report that an Asian elephant has passed the mirror self-reflection test.“We thought that elephants were the next important animal,” said Dinana Reiss of the Wildlife Conservation Society, an author of the study with Joshua M.Plotnik and Fans B.M. de Waal of Emory University. With their large brains, Reiss said, elephants “seemed like cousins to apes and dolphins.”The researchers tested Happy, Maxine and Patty, three elephants at the Bronx Zoo.They put an 8-foot-square mirror on a wall of the animals‟ play area (out of the sight of zoo visitors) and recorded what happened with cameras, including one built in the mirror.The elephants used their long noses to find what was behind it, and to examine parts of their bodies.Of the three, Happy then passed the test, in which a clear mark was painted on one side of her face. She could tell the mark was there by looking in the mirror, and she used the mirror to touch the mark with her long nose.Diana Reiss said, "We knew elephants were intelligent, but now we can talk about their intelligence in a better way."45. What can mirror tests tell us about animals?A. Whether they have large brains.B. Whether they have self-awareness.C. Whether they enjoy outdoor exercises.D. Whether they enjoy playing with mirrors.46. Why does the author mention apes and dolphins in the text?A. They are most familiar to readers.B. They are big favorites with zoo visitors.C. They are included in the study by Reiss.D. They are already known to be intelligent.47. What made Happy different from Maxine and Patty?A. She used her nose to search behind the mirror.B. She recognized her own image in the mirror.C. She painted a mark on her own face.D. She found the hidden camera.CStudent Membership-----Cambridge Arts CinemaCambridge Arts Cinema is one of the art houses in Britain and home of the internationally celebrated Cambridge Film Festival. Since 1947 generations of students have discovered the wealth of world cinema. Now you too can make most48. Which of the following is the most famous event held at Cambridge Arts Cinema?A.

One year.51. For what purpose is the text written?A. Offering students cheaper tickets.B. Announcing the opening of a premiere.C. Telling the public of the cinema's address.D. Increasing the cinema's membership.DThe way we do things round hereSome years ago, I was hired by an American bank. I received a letter from the head of the Personnel Department that started, "Dear John, I am quite pleased that you have decided to join us." That "quite" saddened me. I thought he was saying "we're kind of pleased you decided to join us although I wish we had hired someone else." Then I discovered th at in American English "quite" sometimes means "very", while in British English it means "fairly".So the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I don't just mean the words people speak. It is body language, dress, manners, ideas and so on. The way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures（文化）.Some of these differences may be only on the surface-dress, food and hours of work-while others may be deeper and take longer to deal with. Mostly, it is just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them, like the climate （气候），while getting on with business.Some of the differences may be an improvement. People are more polite; the service is better; you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again. However, other differences can be troubling, like punctuality（准时）. If you invite people to a party at 7 o'clock your guests will consider it polite to turn up exactly on time in Germany, five minutes early in the American Midwest, an hour early in Japan, 15 minutes afterwards in the UK, up to an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece. I prefer not to use the word "late" because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive. It is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country.52. The author was unhappy as mentioned in Paragraph 1 because he thought______.A. the American bank didn't think much of himB. the American bank might hire another personC. it's difficult to get used to American cultureD. it's easy to misunderstand Americans53. The word "highlights" in Paragraph 2 probably means_____.A. encouragesB. helps to narrowC. increasesD. draws attention to54. According to the author, what should we do with most cultural differences?A. Ask the native people for help.B. Understand and accept them.C. Do things in our own way.D. Do in-depth research.55. When invited to a party the people who are usually punctual are______.A. ItaliansB. GermansC. GreeksD. the BritishE"I didn't hear them call my name," explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens (AT) as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004. "Are you ready?" is what she heard. Then she said, "I shook my head no, and then they said …yes‟ and it was announced again."It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen-year-old high school student from Destrehan, Louisiana----she was still on cloud nine."I was so shocked! I never believed that it could actually really happen." Present in the audience（观众）that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher.Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there, AT asked why herdance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete（比赛）. "She's always been my role model. I've danced with her since I was six. She's been through so many difficulties and came through them all. I've learned to get over bad life's experiences and learned how to move on because of her."One of those bad life's experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. He was 18. She found writing helped her get through the rough days. She said, "I write a lot about my brother. I write a lot, a lot, a lot...”As Miss Louisiana Teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens（青少年）about the dangers of drinking and driving. In her role as Miss Teen USA, Sheiley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving, in addition to many other things to help the youth.When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, "Don't let anyone change you. Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself. That way, it is easy to be yourself."56. What do the words “on cloud nine” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. frightenedB. troubledC. very happyD. very angry57. Shelley takes her dance teachers as a role medel mainly because she is .A. determinedB. friendlyC. strictD. experienced58. How many children did the Hennigs have according to the text?A. 1.B. 2.C. 3.D. 4.59. What did Shelley often do after she became Miss Louisiana Teen?A. She visited drunken drivers.B. She gave dance performance.C. She made speeches on safe driving.D. She helped other teens with their studies.60. What suggestion does Shelley give to the teens?A. Be yourself with the support of friends.B. Meet friends whenever possible.C. Go easy on yourself and others.D. Have a good role model.第二节根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AWhen milk arrived on the doorstepWhen I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note—“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”—and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically（魔术般）appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn't freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery. There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete (竞争). Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practiced to have a delivery service. Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. 1 took it home and planted it on the back porch (门廊). Every so often my son's friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.56.

2011高考英语阅读理解分类汇编之新闻报道类(附答案)
2011高考英语阅读理解分类汇编之新闻报道类1.（2011·山东卷）DSince the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Brain-computer interface(BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.Recently, two researchers, Jose Milan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic school in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated（展示）a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person’s thoughts.In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right band. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.“our brain has billions of nerve ceils. These send signals through the spinal cord （脊髓）to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles,” Tavella says. “Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.”The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain.Prof. Milan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands. “T he practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices. One example is this wheelchair.”He says his team has set two goals. One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.A. help to update computer systemsB. link the human brain with computersC. help the disabled to recoverD. control a person's thoughts72. How" did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?A. By controlling his muscles.B. By talking to the machine.C. By moving his hand.D. By using his mind.73. Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?A. scalp→computer→cap→wheelchairB. computer→cap→scalp→wheelchairC. scal p→cap→computer→wheelchairD. cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair74. The team will test with real patients toA. make profits from themB. prove the technology useful to themC. make them live longerD. learn about their physical condition75. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Switzerland, the BCI Research CenterB. New Findings About How the Human Brain WorksC. BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the DisabledD. Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries【解析】：71-75:BDCBC【语篇解读】本文是一则新闻报道，介绍了Brain-computer interface(BCI)技术的发明，原理和对残疾人带来的益处。

ACharlie Boswell has always been a great hero. He has inspired thousands of people to rise above circumstances and live out true meaning of life.He was blinded during World War II while rescuing his friend from a tank that was under fire. He was a great athlete before the accident. In order to prove his talent and determination, he decided to try a brand new sport, a sport he never imagined playing, even with his eyesight –golf! Through determination and a deep love for the game he became the National Blind Golf Champion! He won that honor 13 times.One of his heroes was the great golfer Ben Hogan, so it truly was an honor for Charlie to win the Ben Hogan Award in 1958.Upon meeting Ben Hogan, Charlie was respectful and stated that he had one wish and it was to have one round of golf with the great Ben Hogan. Mr. Hogan agreed that playing a round together would be an honor for him as well, as he had heard about all of Charlie’s accomplishments and truly admired his skills.―Would you like to play for money, Mr. Hogan?‖ asked out Charlie.―I can’t play you for money, it wouldn’t be fair!‖ said Mr. Hogan.―Aw, come on Mr. Hogan…$ 1,000 per hole!‖―I can’t, what would people think of me, taking advantage of you and your circumstance?‖ replied the sighted golfer.―Chicken, Mr. Hogan?‖―Okay,‖ replied the embarrassed Hogan, ―but I am going to play my best!‖―I wouldn’t expect anything else,‖ said the confident Boswell.―Now that you’re on. Mr. Boswell, you name the time and the place!‖The very self – assured Boswell responded, ―10 o’clock … tonight!‖56．Why didn’t Mr. Hogan want to play Charlie for money?A．He was worried he would lose the match.B．He thought it was unfair for Charlie.C．He didn’t care about money.D．He preferred chicken to money.57．According to the text, what does the underlined word ―self - assured‖ probably mean?A．ignorant B．selfless C．confident D．sincere58．It can be inferred from the text that .A．Mr. Hogan was not good at playing golfB．Charlie did well in other sports before playing golfC．Mr. Hogan didn’t try his best to playD．Charlie Boswell was born blind59．What was the result of the match?A．Charlie won. B．Hogan won.C．Neither of them won. D．Not wentioned.60．Which of the following can best describe Charlie?A．Competitive and generous B．Energetic and reliableC．Careful and considerate D．Confident and smartBIn university application process the interview is of great importance. A quick look at interview tips will tell you to smile, make eye contact, and shake the interviewer’s hand firmly. Unfortunately, few tell you what it is that the interviewer is really looking for.To put it simply, they want to be able to imagine you at the university. Your job is to be able to give them that picture. So how do you do that? One of the interviewer’s jobs is to decide whether or not you are psychologically fit for their university. That means it is vital to behave as socially well – adjusted.Remember that most interviews, like battles, are won or lost before you ever go into them. I am constantly struck by that fact that many really smart, diligent students do little research before they go into their interview. So when asked questions, they often have butterflies in their stomachs. You should, for example, be able to find out where your interview –all with just a few minutes of googling.More importantly, you should do a lot of research on the university in question beyond simply knowing the school’s ranking in The US News and Word Reports. Interviewers hate it when you respond to the question ―Why do you want to attend this university?‖ with the answer ―Well, you know that it is a very famous school.‖ Think of it from the school’s point of view, after all, you want this school to select you rather than just another excellent Chinese student.Tell them why you would choose them rather than another excellent American university. If you are interested in biology, be sure to know the biology professors’ names. If you are interested in camping, be sure to know the name of the outdoors club at the school. Find ways to tie your interests and goals to what that school has to offer in particular.61．Some excellent student fail in interviews because they .A．know little about what the interviewers care aboutB．don’t know how to communicate in body languageC．haven’t any friends in the university they want to enterD．don’t know the ranking of the university in the US news62．What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 3 mean?A．have a stomachache B．get ex citedC．eat butterflies D．feel nervous63．Which of the following would impress the interviewers most?A．You can learn your favorite subject and fulfill your dreams there.B．You know the professor’s name of the subject you are interested in.C．The university is very famous and everybody wants to attend it.D．You can google out whatever you want to know on the Internet.64．The writer of the text advises you .A．to shake hands with the interviewers looselyB．to give your picture to the interviewers before handC．to research enough about the interview before handD．not to find out where the interviewers are from65．The text is most probably chosen from .A．a science news report B．an application websiteC．a book review D．a science fiction storyCSmart home applications can share all kinds of helpful information with homeowners, and a new housing platform can detect problems on electricity – and problems on the heart.―There is a growing population of elderly people, and statistics show that more and more of them are going to live alone in the home,‖ said Johann Siau, a senior lecturer in digital communication systems at the University of Hertfordshire in the U.K., who is leading the Inter Home project. The system was originally designed to provide remote access to a house so less energy is consumed. In a model of the system, the controllers connect safely to the Internet. The owner can then monitor them with a cell phone or computer. Users’response helps the system adapt to routines, saving electricity.Wile thinking about responding to user behavior and an increasingly elderly population, the researchers decided to add wristband technology that senses vitals such as body temperature and pulse, Siau said.―In the event that someone were to fall, it would detect the fall and it would immediately start the monitor of the pulse to see if the person has gone into shock,‖he said. ―It’s an early warning system that can inform any parties registered to monitor the person.‖The wristband communicates with the home system wirelessly. Data from the band can be safely piped to the home network and accessed by authorized users.A functioning model of the wristband technology exists, but it’s still too big. The team is working hard to reduce its size to a level where it could potentially be a wrist – sized product and is trying adding other services, including a system that could send a warning message if someone with Alzheimer’s (老年痴呆) were to get lost.Siau said that the university received government supporting money, enabling the researchers to work with the independent research firm on testing the platform in real houses.66．Who would benefit most from the new system?A．People who care about environmental pollution.B．Doctors who are responsible for patients with Alzheimer’s.C．Children who don’t want to take care of their elderly parents.D．Elderly people who need attention to their health conditions.67．The new system is smarter in the fact that .A．it can take people’s body temperature.B．it can help do some cooking workC．it can sense emergencies and give signalsD．it can prevent elderly people from falling68．The system was originally designed for the owner to .A．save energy B．to save strengthC．collect energy D．produce energy69．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．The wristband is small enough to wear around the wrist now.B．If someone falls, the system can hold the person up.C．The system can treat patients with diseases.D．The system has been tested in real houses.70．Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A．Smart house feels your pain B．Smart house enters every familyC．Smart house saves money D．Smart house makes you comfortableDFor the first century or so of the Industrial Revolution, increased productivity led to decreases in working hours. A generation ago social planners worried about what people would do with all this new-found free time. In the US, at least, it seems they need not have bothered.Although the output per hour of work has more than doubled since 1945, leisure (freetime) seems reserved largely for the unemployed. Those who work full-time spend as much time on the job as they did at the end of World War II. In fact, working hours have increased noticeably since 1970. There are several reasons for lost leisure. Since 1979, companies have responded to improvements in the business climate by having employees work overtime rather than by hiring extra personnel. Most increased production doesn’t relate to the employment. Some firms are even downsizing as their profits climb. It’s more profitable to ask 40 employees to labor an extra hour each than to hire one more worker to do the same 40-hour job.Although employees complain about long hours, they, too, have reasons not to trade money for leisure. People who work reduced hours pay a huge price in career terms. It’s taken as a negative (负面的) signal about their commitment to the firm. Many managers find it difficult to measure the contribution of their staff to a firm’s well – being, so they use the number of working hours instead of the output to evaluate the employees. Well aware of this, employees adjust their behavior accordingly.It may take some time before workers can successfully trade increased productivity and money for leisure time. The reality is that the U.S. marker for goods has focused on fulltime, two- career households. Car makers no longer produce cheap models, and developers do not build the tiny bungalows that served the first postwar generation of house seekers.In a word, in U.S., goods are appropriate only for high incomes and long hours.71．What was the result of the industrial revolution?A．Less working time. B．More unemployment.C．Fewer factories. D．More jobs.72．have got more free time to enjoy themselves since 1945.A．The employees B．The unemployedC．The employers D．Social planners73．One reason why employees don’t want to trade money for leisure is that .A．they don’t want to be considered to be lazy.B．they have to pay a lot of money for leisure.C．their companies are lacking in employees.D．they love their companies so much.74．It can be inferred from the text that .A．employees are facing a reduction in working hours todayB．increased leisure time would benefit two – career householdsC．companies have no set standard to evaluate their staffD．high incomes don’t guarantee Americans enough leisure time75．The passage is mainly about .A．what has brought about less working timeB．why employees want to make more moneyC．why employees have less leisure timeD．what a good employee should be like2（2011·山东省泰安市泰安一中高三冲刺试题）第二部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）第一节：阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

2011高考英语阅读理解分类汇编之新闻报道类1.（2011·山东卷）DSince the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Brain-computer interface(BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.Recently, two researchers, Jose Milan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic school in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated（展示）a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person’s thoughts.In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right band. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.“our brain has billions of nerve ceils. These send signals through the spinal cord （脊髓）to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles,” Tavella says. “Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.”The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain.Prof. Milan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands. “The practical possib ilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices. One example is this wheelchair.”He says his team has set two goals. One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.A. help to update computer systemsB. link the human brain with computersC. help the disabled to recoverD. control a person's thoughts72. How" did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?A. By controlling his muscles.B. By talking to the machine.C. By moving his hand.D. By using his mind.73.

2.（2011·湖北卷）CIn today’s throw away society, dealing with the city’s growing mountain of waste is an inereasing challenge for the city countil(市议会)。
Recently. Edinburgh is faced with the problem of dssposing of(处理)about250,000Million tons of waster a year . Despite different ways to dispose of much of it in a greenmanner---largely through encouraging tecycling---its aging facilities such as the Powderhall landfill do not have the ability to deal with it.The European Union(EU) has issued a new policy, regulating how such mountains of waster are to hr disposed of. The five councils (Edinburgh. East Lothian. West Lothian. Midlethian and Borders) face fine around $18million a year from 2013 it they don’t inerease recycling levels and rely less on landfill. With this in mind, the coumlls got together with the idea of building a lage incinerator plant (垃圾焚烧厂)to burn half of the waste produced in their districts. But the plan fell apart after the change of target levels by a new UK government waste policy which required that no more than 25% of the city’s waste should be disposed of in this way by 2025.After the plan was abandoned, a private company which already transported millions of tons of the city’s wast by train to a landfill site near Dunbar, offered an alternative soution when it suggested opening a huge waste site near Portobello.Since Powderhall is supposed to close in 2015, it seemed necessary for the members of the Edinburgh Council to accept the suggestion. But soon they turned it down—after 700 local objections reached them—because it would have meant hundreds of lorries a day making loud noise through heavily populated areas.That still leaves eth council with a problem. By 2013,only50%of 1995 levels of waste will benllewed to be sent to landfill. Even if recveling large are met, there will still be a large amount of rubbish to be burnt up. Due build an Edinburgh and Midlothian councils have now decided to work together to build an ineinerator plant as time to find a solution is fast running out.59. The main way of handling waste in a green manmer in Edinburgh is .A. recyelingB. restoringC. buryingD. burning60. The five councils worked out a plan to build an incinerator plant to .A. reduce the roast of burying wasteB. meets the EU requirementsC. speed up waste recyclingD. tempter landfill sites61. The city council of Edinburgh rejected the suggestion to open a huge landfill site near Portobello because .A. a name from a private companyB. the comelier was not interested in itC. it was not supports by EUD. the local poodle was waist it62. What is the final dream an Edinburgh and Midlothian Country?A. To open a new landfill nearbyB. To close the powder hall landfill in 2015C. To set up a plan for burning wasteD. To persuade people to deduce their waste.【答案】ABDC3.（2011·广东卷）DIn a world with limited land, water and other natural resources(资源), the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decade has seen more and more forests disppearing and the globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unheathy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable(可持续的)ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the healthy while using its supply of natural resources.Today, sustainable development is a popular trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decade. China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy resolution. It is now trying hard to made full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil(棕榈油), which is produced without cutting down valuabe rainforest. In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown more than 50%.Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions(排放) and targets for saving and reusing e nergy. Besides, stronger arrangement of public resouces like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid the huge public expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can accerlarate the change from the traditional model to asustainable one.The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of a growing population within the limits of this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.41. The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that____.A.it makes the world warmerB. it consumes natural resoucesC. it brings severe damage to futureD. it makes growth hard to continue42. What can we infer from Paragraph2?A. China lacks wind and solar energyB. China is the leader of the low-carbon marketC. High-speed trains are a low-carbon developmentD. Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests43. To fully develop the low-carbon markets governments can______.A. cut public expensesB. forbid carbon emissionC.develop public resouscesD. encourage energy conservation44. We can learn from the last paragraph that business have many chances to _______.A. develop sustainable productsB. explore new natural resouscesC. make full use of natural resouscesD. deal with the major challenge45. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To introduce a new business modelB. To compare two business modelsC. To predict a change of the global marketsD. To advocate sustainable development【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。
