　　Ⅲ.閱讀理解

　　The crisis at Japan’s Fukushima Dai－Ichi nuclear energy center has raised questions about the future of the nuclear energy industry. Arjun Makhijani is president of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research in the United States. He says the disaster in Japan is historic.

　　This week, the chairman of America’s nuclear agency said there is little chance that harmful radiation from Japan could reach the United States. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Gregory Jaczko also said America has a strong program in place to deal with earthquake threats. No new nuclear power centers have been built in the United States since 1979.That was when America’s worst nuclear accident happened at the Three Mile Island center in Pennsylvania. The accident began to turn public opinion against nuclear energy.

　　To support more clean energy production, the Obama government has been seeking billions of dollars in government loan guarantees to build new centers. Presently, about twenty percent of electricity in the United States comes from nuclear energy. But critics say nuclear power is too costly and dangerous to be worth further expansion.

　　German prime minister Angela Merkel said Germany would close all seven nuclear power centers for a moment while energy policy is reconsidered. The European Union is planning to test all centers in its twenty－seven member nations.

　　Developing nations are less willing to slow nuclear expansion. China said it would continue with plans to build about twenty－five new nuclear plants. And India, under a cooperation agreement with the United States, plans to spend billions on new centers in the coming years.

　　Japan has made nuclear energy a national priority since the 1970s. Unlike many major economies, Japan imports eighty percent of its energy. The Nuclear Energy Institute said twenty－nine percent of Japan’s electricity came from nuclear sources in 2011.The government planned to increase that to forty percent by 2024.

　　Nuclear plants supply fourteen percent of global electricity. Nuclear energy is a clean resource, producing no carbon gases. But radioactive waste is a serious unresolved(未解決的) issue. So_is_the_presence_of_nuclear_power_centers_in_earthquake_areas_like_the_one_near_Bushehr,_Iran.

　　28．Which of the following countries is the least likely to expand its use of nuclear energy?

　　A．China.　B．India.

　　C．Iran.

　　D．Germany.

　　29．The government of Japan intended to increase its nuclear energy in 2024 by ________ compared with 2011.

　　A．29%

　　B．40%

　　C．69%

　　D．11%

　　30．Which of the following statements about the use of nuclear power in the U．S. is TRUE?

　　A．Most of the electricity comes from nuclear energy in the U．S.

　　B．The Obama government is against building nuclear power plants.

　　C．A small number of nuclear power plants have been built since 1979.

　　D．A serious nuclear accident happened in America at the end of the 1970s.

　　31．What’s the main idea of this passage?

　　A．The nuclear crisis in Japan has spread to other parts of the world.

　　B．The situation of the world’s nuclear power development after the crisis in Japan.

　　C．Japan’s nuclear disaster will slow the expansion of nuclear plants all over the world.

　　D．Japan’s nuclear disaster won’t affect the nuclear energy production in other countries.

　　32．From the last sentence of the passage, we can see the writer’s attitude towards building a nuclear power plant near Bushehr, Iran is________.

　　A．supportive

　　B．optimistic

　　C．negative

　　D．uncertain

　　課時作業(yè)(二十四)

　　Ⅰ.1.C　考查固定搭配would rather…than…寧愿做……而不愿做……，故此題答案為C。

　　2．B　該題考查句子結(jié)構(gòu)。學(xué)生易犯思維定式的錯誤而選C，其實who finished是定語從句，該處缺謂語動詞。

　　3．D　appreciate后跟v.－ing形式作賓語；I don't doubt that…“我毫不懷疑……”。

　　4．A　本題考查非謂語動詞作狀語的用法及其否定形式。因C、D兩項沒有狀語從句的引導(dǎo)詞，可先排除。現(xiàn)在分詞的否定結(jié)構(gòu)是在其結(jié)構(gòu)前加not。

　　5．C　考查名詞詞義辨析。根據(jù)接下來的句子可以判斷：這個女孩根本沒有尊嚴(yán)。

　　6．C　考查代詞。根據(jù)語意可知，Mrs.Smith設(shè)法調(diào)停了Michael與Allen兩個人之間的爭吵，并且沒有使他們?nèi)魏我环降母星槭艿絺Γ虼诉x擇either，指兩者中的任何一個。neither 兩者都不；none 沒有一個，毫無；both 兩者都。both不用于否定意義的句子，而either可以。

　　7．C　考查反意疑問句。按照前肯后否的句式，選C符合語法表達(dá)習(xí)慣。

　　8．C　題意為：大衛(wèi)威脅他的鄰居，如果不賠償損失就報警。threaten to do 表示威脅做某事。主語David和動詞“report”是主動關(guān)系，因此選C。

　　9．C　句意為：他們兩個還沒來得及意識到究竟發(fā)生了什么事情，就被猛烈地拋入海里。根據(jù)題意選C。

　　10．B　考查介詞詞組。句子含義為“在外面工作就意味著大量的日曬，而這會導(dǎo)致皮膚癌。”據(jù)此，選in turn“轉(zhuǎn)而”，其他三項中in return“作為報答”；in vain “徒勞”；in demand “需要”。

　　11．B　be intended to do sth.旨在做某事，目的是為了做某事。由此結(jié)構(gòu)可判斷此處用過去分詞作定語。

　　12．C　考查狀語從句的省略。其完整形式為：Once (friendship) is lost，D項錯在lose缺少賓語。

　　13．A　考查非謂語動詞。adore其后應(yīng)接動名詞作賓語，排除B、C兩項；“同意做某事”其正確表達(dá)為“approve of doing sth.”，故選A。

　　14．B　句意：如果她當(dāng)年履行了自己的諾言，她就會進(jìn)入耶魯大學(xué)了。look up to(抬頭看，尊重)，keep up with(跟上，追上)，come up with(追趕上；想出；提出)，只有l(wèi)ive up to(履行，實行)符合題意。

　　15．C　第一空為后置定語修飾Chinese city，Chinese city 前面有序數(shù)詞修飾，故用不定式。第二空同樣為后置定語修飾the right，the right to do sth. 做某事的權(quán)利。故選C。

　　Ⅱ.女兒上大學(xué)了，看著女兒跟她的母親一起細(xì)心地整理自己的寢室，父親不由得想起了許多往事，從初為人父的喜悅到送女兒上大學(xué)的酸楚，心中久久不能平靜。但女兒面對的是燦爛的未來，心中雖有不舍，但也得主動適應(yīng)新生活的變化。

　　16．D　因為女兒要第一次離開家獨自去大學(xué)生活，父親感覺到情況跟以前不一樣了。

　　17．C　

　　I find myself doing…是一個常見句型，意思是“我情不自禁……”，其他動詞均無此用法。

　　18．D　因為妻子是在醫(yī)院生下女兒的，因此“我”是坐在妻子的床邊。

　　19．B　上文已經(jīng)提到妻子是在醫(yī)院里生下女兒的，因此這里是指作者開車從醫(yī)院接妻兒回家。

　　20．A　根據(jù)后面的意思，這里是指女兒離家上大學(xué)前，作者非常留戀地?fù)崦畠骸?/p>

　　21．C　因為知道女兒離開家了，以后想愛撫都沒有愛撫的對象了，根據(jù)意思應(yīng)該選擇knowing“知道”。

　　22．B　這里意思是女兒突然抬起頭，正好“逮著”父親正呆呆地看著她。catch sb. doing sth.“逮著某人正在做某事”。

　　23．D　“我”告訴女兒她會度過燦爛的一年的。這里只有選擇great才能形容度過一個燦爛或精彩的一年。whole沒有任何感情色彩，comfortable“舒適的”，含義太清、太淡；difficult又不符合作者的本意。

　　24．B　除了祝福女兒外，“我”沒有說其他什么話，因為“我”害怕會說一些自己感情不能控制的東西。根據(jù)意思這里應(yīng)該選擇afraid“害怕”。

　　25．A　 因為心中有太多的不舍，“我”沒有目送女兒遠(yuǎn)走，“我”想象她還沒走開。這里使用imagined是表示女兒沒走開只是一種想象。thought意思為“認(rèn)為”；guessed意思是“猜測”，含義不對，expected意思是“期待，估計”，也不符合本意。

　　26．C　這里是指作者又回憶起當(dāng)時自己面對新生活時的模樣，借此表示女兒將要面對的新生活。

　　27．A　在回家的路上，作者感覺到自己的生活又將有一個新的變化。
