1.For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest dramatist (剧作家).Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare.Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work of our greatest writer.All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part of the common property of the English-speaking people.Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we used, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations.Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, makes full use of the great resources of the English language.Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal use of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand.There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it.Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.1).English people _______.A.have never discussed who is the world’s greatest dramatistB.never discuss any issue concerning the world’s greatest dramatistC.are sure who is the world’s greatest dramatistD.do not care who is the world’s greatest poet and dramatist2).Every Englishman knows _______.A.more or less about ShakespeareB.Shakespeare, but only slightlyC.all Shakespeare’s writingsD.only the name of the greatest English writer3).Which of the following is true?A.We use all the words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings.B.Shakespeare’s writings have become the property of those who are learning to speak English.C.It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origins of the words they useD.All the words people use are taken from the writings of Shakespeare.4).What does the word “proverb” mean?A.Familiar sayings.B.Shakespeare’s plays.C.Complaints.D.Actors and actresses.5).Why is it worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used English?A.English words have changed a lot since Shakespeare’s time.B.By doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of the English language.C.English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare’s time.D.Beginners may have difficulty learning some aspects of English usage.

3.186. Do you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be simple fact? Do you argue whether it’s cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit? If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant. The first blind man who felt the elephant’s trunk said it was like a snake. The second who felt the elephant’s side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear as he touched the animal’s tusk. The fourth, who had hold of the elephant’s tail insisted that it was like a rope. The fifth man said it looked like a tree as he put his arms around one of the elephant’s legs. The sixth, who was tall and got hold of the elephant’s ears, said it was like a huge fan. Each man’s idea of the animal came from his own experience. So if someone disagrees with you about a “simple fact”, it’s often because his experience in the matter is different from yours. To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a “simple fact”, try this simple experiment. Get three large bowls. Put ice water in one. Put hot water in the second. Put lukewarm water in the third. Now put your left hand in the ice water. Put your right hand in the hot water. After thirty seconds, put both hands in the lukewarm water. Your right hand will tell you the water is cold. You left hand will tell you it’s hot! [共5题](1) What makes people think about simple facts differently?(A) The fact that simple facts differ from one another.(B) The fact that people have different experience in the same simple fact.(C) The fact that people often disagree with on another.(D) The fact that it’s hard to make up one’s mind about simple facts.(2) Which of the following temperature is the closest to the meaning of the word “lukewarm” in the last paragraph?(A) Above 0℃. (B) Above 40℃. (C) Above 20℃. (D) Below 0℃.(3) The writer’s advice is ________.(A) we should never think about simple facts(B) we should never judge something with a one-sided view(C) we should not agree about simple facts(D) we must learn from the six blind men(4) After reading the last paragraph, we may think of ________.(A) Newton’s law(B) Crallilao’s theory of falling objects(C) Einstein’s theory of relativity(D) Marx’s On Capital(5) The main idea of this passage is ________.(A) people often judge something according to his own experience(B) people often agree about simple facts(C) it’s hard for a person to make up his mind about a simple fact(D) don’t care too much about simple facts

    In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States．People there have heart disease and other kinds of health problems during this month． In the Northeast and Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times．People in these places may have heart disease after the weather changes in February or March．

    The weather can also influence intelligence． For example, in a 1982 study by scientists, the in scores of a group of students were very high during a storm, but after the storm their IQ scores were lower than usual level． So storms can increase intelligence．However, very hot weather can lower it． Students in the United States often do badly on exams in the hot months of the year．

    Weather also has a strong influence on people's feelings．Winter may be a bad time for thin people．They usually feel cold during these months and they may feel unhappy during cold weather． In hot summer weather, on the other hand, fat people may feel unhappy． The sum- mer heat may make them tired and they are easy to get angry．

    Heat and Health

    Extremely hot weather is common in many parts of the world.Although hot weather just
    makes most people hot,it can cause medical problems and death.
    Health experts say that since the year 1900,extremely hot weather has killed more
    people in the United States than any other natural event.One year一the unusually hot
    summer of 1980一heat caused about 1,700 deaths in the United States.In 1995,more
    than 600 people died in a similar heat wave in one city一Chicago.
    To measure extreme heat,government weather experts have developed the Mean Heat
    Index.It measures the average of how hot it is felt all day on an extremely hot day.Experts
    say it is the total heat of a hot day or several hot days that can affect health.Several hot
    days are considered a heat wave.Experts say heat waves often become deadly when the
    nighttime temperature does not drop much from the highest daytime temperature.
    The most common medical problem caused by hot weather is heat stress.It is also
    least severe.For most people,the only result of heat stress is muscle pain.The pain is a
    warning that the body is becoming too hot. Doctors say drinking water will help the pain
    disappear after the body again has the right amounts of water and salt.For some people,
    however,the result is much more serious.
    For example,doctors say some people face a greatly increased danger from heat
    stress.These people have a weak or damaged heart,high blood pressure,or other
    problems of the blood system.Severe heat can help cause a heart attack or stroke.Health
    experts say this is the most common cause of death linked to hot weather.

    What can people learn from the Mean Heat Index?
    A:The average temperature of an extremely hot day.
    B:The highest temperature of an extremely hot day.
    C:The lowest temperature of an extremely hot day.
    D:The nighttime temperature of an extremely hot day.

    [考点]细节题。录音提到，若用冷海水，整个美国西海岸将拥有空调的功能。这是冷海水的一个用途。
    【听力原文】
    　　Do you know that vegetables can be grown in climates they are not accustomed to? Cool climates vegetables are now able to be grown in places as hot as Hawaii.
    　　In Hawaii, engineers have been able to actually make those vegetables live in cooler climates. That way they grow faster and taste better. What these engineers have been using is cold seawater. The temperature of seawater is much lower than the air temperature.
    　　[41] How do they use it? They place pipes in the soil and the cold water flowing through them cools the earth. This stimulates plant growth and enables gardeners in tropical climates to grow crops from cooler climates.
    　　Also, some of these pipes are exposed to the air and they make the moisture form little water drops and thus irrigate the gardens. What is especially appealing about this process is that nothing damaging to the natural environment is being used.
    　　[42] Another innovative use for cold ocean water is to cool buildings. Engineers believe that, for example, [43] the entire west coast of the United States could be air-conditioned using seawater.
    　　We all know there are certain types of chemicals used in air conditioner, which not only pollutes the air but also bring damage to the ozone. If we could cool the city by using seawater, the environment of the whole city will be improved and the ozone will be protected, which will be beneficial to ourselves in return.
    Questions 40 to 43 are based on the passage you have just heard.
    40. What is the report mainly about?
    41. How are the pipes used in Hawaii?
    42. What are the other advantages of using seawater?

    Geothermal(地热)Energy
    　　1 Since heat naturally moves from hotter regions to cooler ones, the heat from the earth's center flows outwards towards the surface. In this way, it transfers to the next layer of rock. If the temperature is high enough, some of this rock melts and forms magma(岩浆). The magma ascends in its turn towards the earth's surface. It often remains well below the earth's surface, creating vast areas of hot rock. In such regions, there are deep cracks, which allow rainwater to descend underground. Some of the heated rainwater travels back up to the earth's surface where it will appear as a hot spring. However, if this ascending hot water reaches a layer of impermeable(不可渗透的)rock, it remains trapped, forming a geothermal reservoir. If geothermal reservoirs are close enough to the surface, they can be reached by drilling wells. Hot water and steam shoot up the wells naturally, and can be used to produce electricity in geothermal power plants.
    　　2.A few geothermal power plants depend on dry-stem reservoirs which produce steam but little or no water. In these cases, the steam is piped up directly to provide the power to spin a turbine generator. The first geothermal power plant, constructed at Lardarello in Italy, was of this type, and is still producing electricity today.
    　　3.Most currently operating geothermal power plants are either "flash" steam plants or binary(双重的)plants. Flash plants produce mainly hot water ranging in temperature from 300° to 700°Fahrenheit. This water is passed through one or two separators where released from the pressure of the underground reservoir, it "flashes" or boils into steam Again, the force of this steam provides the energy to spin the turbine and produce electricity. The geothermal water and steam are then reinjected directly back down into the earth to maintain the volume and pressure of the reservoir. Gradually they will be reheated and can then be used again.
    　　4.A reservoir with temperatures below 300° Fahrenheit is not hot enough to flash steam but it can still be used to generate electricity in binary fluid. The steam from this is used to power the turbines. As in the flash steam plant, the geothermal water is recycled back into the reservoir.
