　　A

　　(2024山東高考?jí)狠S卷，D)

　　Han Jiangxue，a 33-year-old Beijing native，made his own episode(系列中的一部分)of CCTV 10's Lecture Room(Baijia Jiangtan)after the program rejected him three times.“They said I didn't meet the show's criteria(標(biāo)準(zhǔn))because I didn't have an associate professor title，” said Han.

　　Han，an international major who graduated from the University of International Business and Economics in 1998，has been studying and writing history for years.With only 30,000 yuan，Han recorded a 6-hour-long video of himself lecturing on the Song Dynasty.

　　Han shot the video in the Lecture Room format，using a simple setting，an off-screen voice and photo illustrations(說(shuō)明)．The video soon became a hit after Han posted it online in September.It was called the “copycat” version of Lecture Room.

　　“I wanted to find a channel to make my voice heard，” Han said.“Since there were too few chances to do this in the traditional way，I tried to figure out a wild way，and it worked.”

　　Han takes the word “copycat” as a compliment，rather than as criticism.“The word represents a grassroots movement，” he said.“It means ordinary people enjoying the same rights and...doing something that could only be done by the professionals before.”

　　Han thinks his video is innovative(創(chuàng)新的)，even though it copies the format of the Lecture Room show.He points out that he wrote the lecture himself.

　　“If you just copy，no one will be interested；you need to be creative，” Han said.He wants to give another lecture，on European history，which has never been dealt with on Lecture Room.“Next time，I want to use a different format.”

　　1．CCTV rejected Han because ______.

　　A．he was an international major

　　B．he was not an associate professor

　　C．he studied history for only a few years

　　D．his video was too simple

　　答案：B

　　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段最后可知，拒絕的原因是他沒(méi)有助教職稱。

　　2．Han became successful online because ______.

　　A．he copied the format of the Lecture Room show

　　B．he spent 30,000 yuan on his video

　　C．he wrote the lecture himself and his video was innovative

　　D．he graduated from the University of International Business and Economics

　　答案：C

　　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。倒數(shù)第二段說(shuō)明了他的錄像的優(yōu)點(diǎn)所在。盡管形式上和百家講壇一樣，但是有創(chuàng)新，而且講演稿都是他親自編寫的。

　　3．The average cost of one-hour-long video of Mr.Han is ______.

　　A．500 yuan

　　B．30,000 yuan

　　C．a(chǎn)bout 5000 yuan

　　D．a(chǎn)bout 30,000 yuan

　　答案：C

　　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后可知，他花費(fèi)3萬(wàn)元錄制了6個(gè)小時(shí)的錄像，即每小時(shí)5千元。

　　4．Why did Han Jiangxue post his video online?

　　A．Because he wanted to show it off to CCTV.

　　B．Because he wanted to make his voice heard.

　　C．Because he had no other way to do it.

　　D．Because he thought the Internet is popular.

　　答案：B

　　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。中央電視臺(tái)曾三次拒絕了他的節(jié)目，根據(jù)第四段可知，他還是要想辦法讓人們聽(tīng)到他的聲音，所以自費(fèi)錄制了節(jié)目并發(fā)在了網(wǎng)上。

　　5．What did Han Jiangxue think of people's comment about his video?

　　A．He thought they loved his video.

　　B．He thought it was a criticism.

　　C．He didn't take it seriously.

　　D．He thought it as an encouragement.

　　答案：A

　　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“The video soon became a hit...”和第四段“...it worked”以及第五段他對(duì)“山寨”的理解可知，他認(rèn)為人們很喜歡他的講演。hit意為“成功的事情”；work表示“起作用，行得通”。

　　B

　　MIT researchers and their colleagues are working to find out whether energy from trees can power a network of sensors(傳感器)to prevent spreading forest fires.

　　What they learn could also raise the possibility of using trees as silent guards along the nation's borders to discover potential threats such as smuggled(走私的)radioactive materials.

　　The U．S.Forest Service currently predicts and tracks fires with a variety of tools，including remote automatic weather stations.But these stations are expensive and sparsely(稀疏地)distributed.Additional sensors could save trees by providing better local climate data to be used in fire prediction models and earlier warnings.However，recharging or replacing batteries by hand at very hard-to-reach locations makes it impractical and costly.

　　The new sensor system seeks to avoid this problem by developing trees into a self-sustaining power supply.Each sensor is equipped with a battery that can be slowly recharged using electricity produced by the tree.“A single tree doesn't generate a lot of power，but over time the trickle(細(xì)流)charge adds up，just like ______” said Shuguang Zhang，one of the researchers on the project and the associate director of the MIT's Center for Biomedical Engineering(CBE)．

　　The system produces enough electricity to allow the temperature and humidity sensors to wirelessly send out signals four times a day，or immediately if there's a fire.Each signal spreads from one sensor to another，until it reaches an existing weather station that sends the data by satellite to a forestry command center in Boise，Idaho.

　　Scientists have long known that trees can produce extremely small amounts of electricity.But no one knew exactly how the energy was produced or how to take advantage of the power.

　　11．What are the disadvantages of the remote automatic weather stations?

　　a．They cost too much.

　　b．They are of poor quality.

　　c．They are not enough.

　　d．They can't reach remote places.

　　A．a(chǎn)，b

　　B．b，d

　　C．a(chǎn)，c

　　D．b，c

　　答案：C

　　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章第三段提到美國(guó)森林服務(wù)機(jī)構(gòu)現(xiàn)在所采用的工具和方法花費(fèi)高、分布少。故選C項(xiàng)。

　　12．Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank?

　　A．Far water does not put out near fire.

　　B．All rivers run into sea.

　　C．Many a little makes a mickle.

　　D．It never rains but it pours.

　　答案：C

　　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)上下文可知此處為“積少成多”的含義，故C項(xiàng)適合。A項(xiàng)意為“遠(yuǎn)水救不了近火”；B項(xiàng)意為“條條江河歸大海”；D項(xiàng)意為“不雨則已，一雨傾盆；不鳴則已，一鳴驚人”。

　　13．What Shuguang Zhang said in Paragraph 4 means that ______.

　　A．a(chǎn) single tree is enough to generate much power

　　B．the power from the tree can't be stored

　　C．trees can generate enough power for our life

　　D．a(chǎn) tree can produce the electricity to meet the needs of a sensor

　　答案：D

　　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第四段中研究人員指出，一棵樹(shù)產(chǎn)生不了多少能量，但隨著時(shí)間的推移，細(xì)小的能量會(huì)不斷增加，就像不斷滴水的水龍頭也能滴滿一桶水一樣，D項(xiàng)理解正確。

　　14．What would the author talk about after the last paragraph of the passage?

　　A．The amount of electricity trees produce.

　　B．How trees produce electricity.

　　C．Trees' contribution to society.

　　D．The research process of tree power.

　　答案：B

　　解析：推理判斷題。文章最后一段最后一句提到?jīng)]人確切地知道樹(shù)怎么產(chǎn)生能量，也不知道人們?nèi)绾卫眠@些能量，因而，下文會(huì)就此展開(kāi)論述，故選B項(xiàng)。

　　15．What would be the best title for the passage?

　　A．Preventing Forest Fires with Tree Power

　　B．Trees Can Produce Electricity

　　C．Tree Power in Daily Life

　　D．Developing New Energy

　　答案：A

　　D

　　Most people nowadays are persistently seeking for opportunities that will assist them in reaching their goals.Marketing yourself is when there is a demand for you and your services that will help you achieve your goals.

　　Marketing yourself means you are simply “selling” yourself！The common problem in marketing yourself is that most people think that it is nasty to do this.They think that marketing concerns only to a business.Of course，this is absolutely not true.People who want to attain the success they desire must promote themselves.

　　In every attempt you make，just think that marketing yourself is a very useful tool.The better you market yourself，the more opportunities you will have.Marketing yourself does not really mean telling every person how beautiful and wonderful you are.It simply means telling your prospective employer that you exist，that you have the possibility of generating much greater income than your prospective employer makes.Or maybe you have the chance of doing something better.There are actually several different ways of marketing yourself.But there are only two primary approaches that you implement(實(shí)施)．The first is you find ways to reach out to others and the second is to construct ways in order for the people to find you and make connection with you.

　　In order for you to reach out and touch the lives of others，you have to be a good person and a good employee.In that way your good reputation will follow naturally.Have a brief and concise(簡(jiǎn)明)message that you can share with others.When you market yourself，you tell people who you are and what you can do for others.Plan well and practice your message.

　　In constructing ways for the people to notice and make connection with you，you must be open to them.Bear in mind that communication is a great opportunity to make an impact especially when you market yourself.You also communicate by what you are wearing.Know the appropriate dress code and have plenty of time to decide what you will wear.Just remember to make a great first impression!

　　16．According to the passage，in general people tend to think marketing yourself ______.

　　A．is a very useful tool

　　B．will make you have more opportunities

　　C．is nasty and concerns only to a business

　　D．is natural

　　答案：C

　　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“The common problem in marketing yourself is that most people think that it is nasty to do this.They think that marketing concerns only to a business.”可知，大部分人認(rèn)為推銷自己是不好的事，他們認(rèn)為推銷只和商業(yè)有關(guān)系，所以選C項(xiàng)。

　　17．All of the following are true about marketing yourself except ______.
