D

句意：——吴先生，你能告诉我中国人在中秋节通常做什么吗?——我们聚在一起吃月饼。

考查宾语从句。根据can you tell me ?可知设空处要用宾语从句，作动词tell的宾语；宾语从句中应该用陈述语序，选项A、B都是疑问语序，所以排除。再根据后句句意“我们聚在一起吃月饼。”可知，前句是问“吴先生，你能告诉我中国人在中秋节通常做什么吗？”所以连接词用what，C选项语意不通；故答案选D。

All about Electric Cars

Electric vehicles(电动车辆) have been around for more than a hundred years. But they have really been liked by a large number of people over the last ten years. More than three million all-electric cars trucks and vans are now on the road worldwide.

Helping the Environment

Most cars run on gasoline(汽油). Burning gasoline and other fossil fuels(矿物燃料) produces greenhouse gases. Electric vehicles don’t burn gasoline. Instead, strong batteries run their electric engines. So, electric vehicles don’t dire ctly produce greenhouse gases.

Poop Power!

Electric vehicles are better for the environment. But they are not perfect. Their batteries often use electricity(电) that was made by burning fossil fuels. But an electric vehicle uses less energy than a vehicle that runs on gasoline. Plus, some of the electricity comes from “greener” sources, such as solar and wind power. And some may soon come from a new source — cow poop(牛粪)! An electric car company has worked together with a large dairy farm. They plan to make electricity using a greenhouse gas from cow poop.

Always Improving

One of the problems for electric vehicles is their limited range. This is how far they can travel before their batteries need another charge(充电). But now their range is improving. Some new electric vehicles can travel almost three times as

far as older ones did. Another problem is finding a place to recharge the batteries. But the number of charging stations is going up as well. China now has thousands more charging stations than it did ten years ago. In Sweden, engineers have even designed a road that will charge electric vehicles as they drive along.

37. Which of the following truly describes electric vehicles according to Paragraph 1?

A. Useless.

B. Popular.

C. Cheap.

D. Perfect.

38. What does the picture above show?

A. Parts of an electric car.

B. Ways of driving a car.

C. Wheels on an electric car.

D. Batteries in an electric car.

39. How does the electric car company plan to make electricity according to Paragraph 3？

A. By burning gasoline.

B. By burning fossil fuels.

C. By using a gas coming from cow poop.

D. By using solar and wind power.

40. What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A. Reasons for buying new electric cars.

B. Importance of electric cars in our life.

C. Ways to produce more electric vehicles.

D. Problems and improvements of electric vehicles.

37. B 38. A 39. C 40. D

本文是一篇说明文，介绍了电动汽车的优缺点。

【37题详解】

题意：根据本文第1段，下列哪个形容词可以很好地形容电动汽车？

推理判断题。根据第1段“But they have really been liked by a large number of people over the last ten years.”可知，本段提到了电动汽车很受人们欢迎。B选项Popular“受欢迎的”符合题意，故选B。

【38题详解】

题意：上面的图片向读者展示了什么？

细节理解题。根据图片内容可知，该图片向读者展示了电动汽车的各部分名称，有电机，电池，电缆，充电口和冷却系统等。A选项Parts of an electric car“一辆电动汽车的各个部分”符合题意，故选A。

【39题详解】

题意：根据本文第3段，电动汽车公司计划如何发电？

细节理解题。根据原文An electric car company has worked together with a large dairy farm. They plan to make electricity using a greenhouse gas from cow poop可知，该公司计划用一种来自牛粪的温室气体来发电。C选项By using a gas coming from cow poop“用一种来自牛粪的温室气体”符合题意，故选C。

【40题详解】

题意：本文最后一段主要讲的是什么？

主旨大意。通读最后一段可知，说的是电动汽车的行驶里程以及充电桩问题以及相应的改进措施。D选项Problems and improvements of electric vehicles“电动汽车存在的问题及改进措施”符合题意，故选D。

"What do you mean?” Wayde asked.

“ My dear friend and Prime Minister, "Manningtree said, "the medicine I gave you was just a bottle of distilled water.”

“ But the colour.”

四、任务型阅读

（一）阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成表格中所缺信息，每空一词。

Words are the key to language. And if you want to improve your ability to speak, listen and write in English, you have to learn lots of words. Here are some ideas to help you.

1. Recording words

Important words

Some words are more important than other words. For example, the high frequency word（高频词）“rain” is very common and can be found in a number of important expressions. For example, rainbow, raincoat, rainforest, rainy, pour with rain.. Where possible, pay special attention to the high frequency words and all their associated（有关联的）forms. Sentences

When you want to record a new word or expression, remember to write it out in an example sentence. This will give you useful information about the way the word or term is used, and the other words often associated with it. For example,

a）Rain-It's been pouring with rain. b）Raincoat— I put on my raincoat.

2. Learning words

Some words are easy to learn. For example, the English word “sofa” is similar in Chinese（sha fa）. Other words are more difficult, but these ideas might help you.

Word sounds

Use the power of the similar sounds between words. For example, imagine you wanted to learn the word “whale”. Simply think of a word that sounds like "whale" in English or in your own language. Then, make a sentence with this word. For example, “The whale has a long tail.”

Funny sentences

Use the power of humour! Simply make a funny sentence with the word. This will help you remember the word more easily. For example, "William the whale was using his tail to sail the boat.”

Pictures

If you're really having problems learning your word, draw a picture of your funny sentence. This will really help you remember it. And the funnier the picture is, the better!

Repetition（重复）

Finally, repeat the sentence many times to get it engraved（铭记）in your heart. Repetition is a fantastic way of memorizing things.

Try these methods and find your own ways to learn words and expressions.
