They call the device a solar tree. Solar trees have metal branches extending from a tall , central pole at different levels. Each branch holds a photovoltaic (光电的) panel, also called a solar panel. These panels are flat surfaces that collect energy from the sun and turn it into electricity.Daljit Singh Bedi is the chief scientist at the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, or CSIR , in New Delhi, India. The CSIR laboratories are where the solar tree was designed. Bedi says the shape of the solar tree makes it possible to fit more photovoltaic panels in a space than traditional systems do. It takes about 4 square meters of space to produce energy which otherwise would have required 400 square meters of space, he says.Scientists believe the energy a solar tree collects will be enough to power five homes. The solar trees will make it easier to provide solar energy for homes in cities, they say. The solar trees will also take less space from farmers in rural areas. And they will collect more energy than normal photovoltaic panels on the tops of buildings, because their design helps with placement of solar panels in a way that they are exposed more to the sun.India is the world s third largest producer of greenhouse gases. The country has promised to reduce its rate of greenhouse gas production.The cost of photovoltaic panels has gone down in recent years. This has made solar power cheaper and easier to use. But it is still not clear how useful these new developments in solar power technology are.1、Which picture can show the solar tree in the passage? ABCD2、What does Bedi say about the solar trees?AThey are energy - consuming.BThey are space - saving.CThey are easily accessible.DThey have geographical limitation.3、What makes the solar tree collect more energy?AThe hi - tech materials built in the panels.BThe number of panels fixed on it.CThe correct placement of the tree.DThe flexibilitv of its design.4、What s the purpose of the passage?ATo introduce a new technological invention.BTo explain why scientists design solar trees.CTo describe the features of solar trees.DTo show the benefits of solar power technology.22（8分）At some time in your life you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible.However,chances are that you dont act on your impulse (冲动),but let it pass instead.You know that to commit the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not accept your behavior.One of the newest taboos in American society is the topic of fat.Unlike many other taboos,fat is a topic that Americans talk about constantly.Its not a taboo to talk about fat; its a taboo to be fat.The “in” look is thin,not fat.In the work world,most companies prefer youthful-looking executives to sell their image as well as their products to the public.The thin look is associated with youth,vigor and success.The fat person,on the other hand,is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy,self-discipline and self-respect.In an image-conscious society like the US,thin is “in” but fat is “out”.Its not surprising that millions of Americans have become crazy about staying slim and “in shape”.The pursuit of a youthful physical appearance is not,however,the only reason for Americas fascination with diet and exercise. Recent research has shown the importance of diet and exercise for personal health.As in most technologically developed nations,the life style of North Americans has changed dramatically during the course of the last century. Modern machines do all the physical labor that people were once forced to do by hand.Cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point.As a result of inactivity,peoples bodies can easily become weak and vulnerable (易受攻击的) to disease.In an effort to avoid such a fate,millions of Americans are spending more of their time exercising.1、From the text we can infer a taboo is considered .Apopular with people Bunacceptable in peopled eyesCfavorable impression left on other people Da crime committed on impulse2、According to the text we can conclude in American society “being fat” .Ahasnt been a taboo Bwill remain a tabooCcant be a taboo Dis not considered a taboo by most people3、In the US,thin is “in” but fat is “out” most probably mean .Athin is “lazy” but fat is “kind” Bthin is “old” but fat is “youthful”Cthin is “unsuccessful” but fat is “successful” Dthin is “popular” but fat is “unpopular”4、Why are so many Americans exercising more?ATo keep strong and free from disease. BTo find good jobs in the companies.CTo encourage their children. DTo avoid becoming old.23（8分）Nearly 19 percent of teachers of color (有色人种教师) left their jobs after the 2014-2015 school year. Some left for personal reasons like taking care of their families. But 50 percent said they left because they were dissatisfied with their employment situation, such as poor working conditions, student discipline problems and large class sizes. Thus, taking immediate measures to improve it is our top priority.For years, researchers have proved the benefits of increasing the share of minority teachers in schools, especially as our public school system has turned to one that is made up mostly of minority students. Teachers of color, who are more likely than their white counterparts to choose to work in racially diverse (多种多样的) schools, offer particular benefits to their students. Graduation rates increase among minority students when they are taught by racially similar educators, research shows. They can also serve as positive role models, and their presence reduces the chance of racial discrimination at school.The Shanker Institute report suggests that the rate of minority teacher hiring is not the whole problem. The problem is what happens after these teachers enter the classroom. These teachers often work in high-poverty rural schools. They are more likely to have less-desirable working conditions.Diversity is a key component to equality and opportunity. Where theres a diverse teaching workforce, all kids thrive. So solutions must be found at once to turn this trend around. Firstly, schools should develop mentorship programs that support minority teachers once they are in the classroom. Secondly, more money should be spent in improving working conditions in these schools. Of course, school headmasters should also be evaluated on their ability to retain teachers of color.1、Among teachers of color leaving their jobs, half of them quit because .Athey had to take care of their childrenBthey had to move to other placesCthey eventually found better-paid jobsDtheir employment situation was unsatisfactory2、Which of the following is the main idea of the second paragraph?AThe solutions to increasing graduation rates among minority students.BThe benefits of increasing the share of minority teachers in schools.CThe reasons for teachers of color leaving their jobs in many schools.DThe ways to decrease the possibility of racial discrimination at school.3、How did the author feel when writing the passage?AHe felt angry about the government.BHe was satisfied with the present situation.CHe felt it urgent to solve the problem.DHe didnt care about diverse teaching workforce.24（8分）Over a decade ago, scientists already recognized the potential smart cloths with sensors (传感器) could improve well-being. Nowadays the industry is starting to target specific health conditions. One example is diabetes. Now, Siren Care has developed an injury-detecting sock that could help people with diabetes prevent disability. Early detection is important in this process. Since skin ulcers (溃疡) are accompanied by a rise in temperature, studies show that detecting foot skin temperature at home could significantly reduce skin ulcers. Based on this, Siren produced a sock that can measure foot temperature in real time.Whats special about Sirens product is that the sensors exist in the fabric of the sock. The product is powered by “SirenSmart”, a kind of electronic yarn (纱线). They weave the yarn into a sock using ordinary weaving machines and connect the final product to a PCB battery, whose lifetime is two months if used daily. The socks are only on when theyre worn; they go into sleep mode when off.All data from the socks is sent to the Siren app using Bluetooth technology, so the user can know the condition of his/her feet in real time. The application gives foot health scores and, when necessary, warns the user to adjust activity or see a healthcare professional.Ran Ma, the companys CEO, explains the sock can tell the user when to see a doctor. The socks are machine-washable, and dont need to be charged. Every six months, the user gets a new box with seven pairs of socks to replace the used ones.Siren presented their product this year in Las Vegas and announced that theyre planning to start shipping their socks this summer. More excitingly, Siren is already planning future applications that will go beyond diabetes care. Anyway, as smart clothing becomes accessible, youll begin to see this health technology become more common.1、What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?AThe result of the study. BThe problem with skins.CThe cause of skin ulcers. DThe importance of early detection.2、What can we learn about Sirens smart sock from the second paragraph?AIt can be charged. BIt is sensitive to skins.CIts sensors can be seen. DIt is comfortable to wear.3、What should be the function of the smart sock?AIt cures its user of possible illness.BIt informs its user of his/her foot health.CIt assists its user to make a quicker recovery.DIt tests its users physical strength in real time.4、What does the author think of the smart clothing industry?AIt has a bright future. BIt is a profitable industry.CIt is readily available. DIt has widely applied.25（10分）Underground City,Montreal,Canada Take one of the 120 entrances into the largest man-made underground network in the world.Montreals Underground City was first built in 1962.About 500,000 people a day use its 1 kilometers of shopping malls,apartment buildings,hotels,banks,offices,museums,and universities;there are also two train stations and a bus terminal（终点站）.
