This small island has about ten permanent residents, and for more than 50 years has been supplied with electricity via a 32-kilometer undersea cable (电缆). A break that appeared in the cable last autumn resulted in two months without power, so the island community started looking into a better way of sourcing their electricity.“Myken is far out at sea, so as far as possible it should be taking care of things itself,” says Kyrre Sundseth, who is a hydrogen (氢) researcher in Norway and also the project manager for Mykens energy project. “This is why we want Myken to become entirely self-sufficient in energy. It is also important to take the environment into consideration,” he says.Much points to the idea that the solution may lie in a Hydrogen plant, specifically tailored for small islands. The “raw materials” for hydrogen production come from nature itself in the form of the sun and wind. Researchers have calculated that energy costs will be lower by using hydrogen production than the undersea cable option. And it is possible to store energy in the form of hydrogen for longer periods. This means that supplies will not have to rely on a lot of expensive batteries or external energy sources, even during periods when the sun isnt shining, or the wind isnt blowing.The Myken project has attracted several technology companies. They are currently working on a pilot project. The pilot involves experiments on the feasibility (可行性) of the hydrogen system in which electricity is generated from solar and wind sources. The electricity can be used immediately, but during periods when all the energy generated is not required, the spare energy can be used to split seawater into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen can be stored in a tank, and used later to generate electricity. The pilot will help researchers know more about how effectively the system will work in the hydrogen plant. Since the island has a distillery (酿酒厂), where the distillation (蒸馏) process relies on energy, a hydrogen plant on Myken offers an even greater environmental benefit. Spare heat from the hydrogen system can also be used for the heating part in the distillation process.“In Norway alone there are about 300 island inhabited all year round by small populations,” says Kyrre Sundseth. “All of these islands may be candidates for using this technology. In global terms were talking about 10,000 similar islands.”4. Why is a hydrogen plant suitable for Myken?A. It is perfect in size for small islands.B. It can send electricity to faraway places.C. It will restore local natural environment.D. It provides green and sustainable energy.5. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 4?A. The study on the energy storage.B. The test on the hydrogen system.C. The experiment on the raw materials.D. The research on the innovation of the pilot.6. According to the passage, a hydrogen plant will _.A. produce purified seawaterB. prove more technically reliableC. contribute in more than one wayD. benefit from the distillation process7. What does Kyrre Sundseth think of the project?A. Promising.B. Systematic.C. Irreplaceable.D. Time saving.【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A【解析】这是一篇说明文，主要讲了Myken利用自身地理条件，建立了氢气发电站，实现了自给自足的环保发电。【4题详解】推理判断题。由第三段的第二句话可知，氢气产生的“原材料”来自于大自然的太阳和风，结合第二段的第一句话，Myken在大海深处，须得自己照顾好自己。可见Myken地理位置的特殊性，接电缆发电耗资大，而且没有完全的保障，氢气发电站环保又耗资小，故选D项。【5题详解】主旨大意题。结合第四段的一、二两句可知，Myken的方案吸引了好几家科技公司，他们目前在进行试行计划。也就是说，方案现在处于实验性阶段。故选B项。【6题详解】推理判断题。由第四段“”可知，在实验性阶段，研究者对氢气发电站的可行性进行了实验，发现氢气发电站除了发电可以有其他用处，由此可见，氢气发电站在许多方面都做出了贡献。故选C项。【7题详解】推理判断题。由最后一段可知，Kyrre Sundseth说，单单挪威就有大约300个岛长年只有少部分居住，这些岛也许适合使用这一技术的。从全球来看，大约有10000左右类似的岛。他的字里行间都表达了这一技术（建立氢气发电站）有很大的市场，即他认为这一方案有前途，有前景。故选A项。CPeople think of cats as cute. But research published in a psychology journal calls them neurotic (神经质的) and unstable. Researchers from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland and the Bronx Zoo in New York compared the personalities of domestic house cats with those of four different types of wildcats.To better understand their personalities, the researchers rated a number of animals behaviors on what psychologists call the Big Five human personality traits (特征).Domestic house cats have similar personality structures to African lions. “Its what cats do pretty much on a daily basis, things like being anxious, being timid, being excitable, being aggressive toward humans, being aggressive toward each other, ”said Max Wachtel, a Denver psychologist who didnt participate in the study. “All of those are characteristics you see in those cute little house cats, and you also see them in lions.”If you ever thought your cat was anxious, insecure, tense, suspicious or aggressive toward you, you arent making it up, he said. If they were bigger, they probably would consider killing you.But the news isnt all bad: Just like lions, house cats are also playful, excitable and impulsively funny. They just arent very predictable. One moment cats will be enjoying bell scratches, and the next they will be biting you to make you stop.“It is good to understand the personality characteristics of our pets,” Wachtel said “Different cats have different personalities, but as a species, there are a lot of commonalities.”The researchers also studied personality traits of Scottish wildcats and some other animals “Across the five species we assessed, personality structure was strikingly similar and also seemed to be related to other studies findings, such as in tigers,” the researchers wrote in their study in the November 2014 issue of the Journal of Comparative Psychology. But house cats were most like lions, potentially because they live in semi-social surroundings and lions are the most social of cats. “Theyre cute and furry, but we need to remember when we have cats as pets, we are inviting little predators into our house,” Wachtel said. “Cats can be fantastic, sweet companionsuntil they turn on you.”8. Cats can be described as _.A. funny and safeB. playful and stableC. fantastic and devotedD. neurotic and unpredictable9. How did the researchers conduct the research?A. By making comparisons.B. By analyzing cause and effect.C. By giving examples.D. By providing explanations.10. Which of the following “turn on” shares the same meaning as the underlined phrase?A. The book really turned me on to science.B. Upon entering the room, he turned on the light.C. The hungry suddenly turned on each other for food.D. The trial turned on the medical evidence presented by the defense.11. Which of the following can be used as a suitable title?A. Cats are best pets.B. Domestic cats and wildcats.C. Your cat may want to kill you.D. Different cats, different personalities.【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. C【解析】本文是说明文。人们认为猫很可爱。但是发表在心理学杂志上的研究称它们是神经质和不稳定的。来自苏格兰爱丁堡大学和纽约布朗克斯动物园的研究人员比较了家猫和四种不同野猫的性格。文章对该项研究及发现进行了介绍。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段People think of cats as cute. But research published in a psychology journal calls them neurotic (神经质的) and unstable.(但是发表在心理学杂志上的研究称它们是神经质和不稳定的)可知，猫是神经质的；根据第五段They just arent very predictable.( 它们只是不太容易预测)可知，猫也是难以预测的。故选D。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段Researchers from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland and the Bronx Zoo in New York compared the personalities of domestic house cats with those of four different types of wildcats.(来自苏格兰爱丁堡大学和纽约布朗克斯动物园研究人员比较了家猫和四种不同野猫的性格)可知，研究者的研究方法是比较法。故选A。【10题详解】词义猜测题。根据最后一段中划线词所在句Cats can be fantastic, sweet companions -until they turn on you.(猫可以是奇妙的、可爱的伙伴直到它们turn on你)可知，画线词与前文的描述是相对的，故turn on意思为“攻击，袭击”。结合选项：A. The book really turned me on to science.这本书让我对科学感兴趣；B. Upon entering the room, he turned on the light.他一进屋就把灯打开了；C. The hungry suddenly turned on each other for food.这些饥肠辘辘的人突然互相袭击取食；D. The trial turned on the medical evidence presented by the defense.这次审判取决于这份由被告律师呈上的医学证明。由此可知，C项符合题意。故选C。【11题详解】主旨大意题。整篇文章讲述了猫看似可爱，但通过实验表明猫与狮子有许多相似的特性，会喜怒无常无法预测。A. Cats are best pets.文章并没有提到猫是最好的宠物；B. Domestic cats and wildcats.文章并没有主要描述家猫和野猫，属于以偏概全；D. Different cats, different personalities.文章中有提到不同的猫有不同的性格特点，但不能体现主旨。C. Your cat may want to kill you.你的猫可能会杀了你，能够表现猫潜在的个性特征，这也是这项研究的一个重大发现，适合做本文标题。故选C。DId done it before, and so I had no reason to believe that this time would be any different. I was sure that when I returned home from my mission trip, as always, Id bring back nothing more than some mud on my boots, a hole or two in my jeans and, of course, a lot of great memories.The summer before my high school graduation, I went to West Virginia with others as volunteers to repair the homes of those in need. Arriving at our destination, my group was assigned the task of rebuilding sections of a home that had been damaged by fire. No sooner had we parked on the homes dirt driveway than we saw an excited little girl, no more than six years old, standing in the doorway of the familys temporary home. Shoeless and wearing dirty clothes and the biggest smile Id ever seen, she yelled, Ma, Ma, they really came! I didnt know it then, but her name was Dakota, and four more days would pass before shed say another word near me.Behind Dakota was a woman in a wheelchairher grandmother, wed soon learn. I also discovered that my job that week would be to help change a firedamaged dining room into a bedroom for this little girl. Grabbing our tools, we went to work. Over the following days, I noticed Dakota peeking at us every now and then as we worked. A few times. I tried talking with her, but she remained shy and distant, always flying around us like a tiny butterfly but keeping to herself.By our fifth and final day, however, this was about to change.Before I went to work on her home on that last morning, I spoke for a moment or two with the grandmother. I was especially pleased when she told me how much Dakota l
