　　A

　　(2012山东高考压轴卷，D)

　　Han Jiangxue，a 33­year­old 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(标准)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 6­hour­long video of himself lecturing on the Song Dynasty.

　　Han shot the video in the Lecture Room format，using a simple setting，an off­screen voice and photo illustrations(说明)．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(创新的)，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.”

　　MIT researchers and their colleagues are working to find out whether energy from trees can power a network of sensors(传感器)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 hard­to­reach locations makes it impractical and costly.

　　The new sensor system seeks to avoid this problem by developing trees into a self­sustaining 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(细流)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，b

　　B．b，d

　　C．a，c

　　D．b，c

　　C．Many a little makes a mickle.

　　D．It never rains but it pours.

　　答案：C

　　解析：推理判断题。根据上下文可知此处为“积少成多”的含义，故C项适合。A项意为“远水救不了近火”；B项意为“条条江河归大海”；D项意为“不雨则已，一雨倾盆；不鸣则已，一鸣惊人”。

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

　　A．a 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 tree can produce the electricity to meet the needs of a sensor

　　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(实施)．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.
