the oldest.Evidence shows that windmills(风车)began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC.They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s,when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.

【要点综述】
本文是关于风车的起源及历史的一篇文章。主要论及在不同的时期风车的作用。在伊朗被发明后被传至欧洲用来抽水和碾碎小麦,后来被用来发电。随着社会的变化,风能作为清洁能源又重新被人们重视起来。 1.C 细节判断题。A项错在风车发明于伊朗而不是欧洲;B项的时间有误,从公元前7世纪到现在应该是2600多年,而不是2800多年;D项错在电能被发现后和被传送至边远地区前,在边远地区,风车被用来发电。 专题六 │ 新题预测
2.B 细节判断题。从When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity可以判断B项为正确答案。 3.A 推理判断题。从最后一段的第一、二两句可以看出,在20世纪70年代以后,人们意识到矿物燃料发电对环境造成污染以及矿物燃料资源有限,于是又重新重视风能的价值。故A为正确答案。 4.D 推理判断题。从最后一句可以看出D项为最佳选项。 专题六 │ 新题预测
The Lusitania was a luxury ocean ship that sailed the Cunard Line's Liverpool. She was the largest ship at that time. With a total of seven decks, it was estimated that over 200,000 people gathered to witness her departure on her first voyage.
The Lusitania set off on her last voyage in May 1915, from Pier 54 in New York with about 1,959 people on board. It was reported that foodstuffs, metal rods, and ingots were loaded on its cargo. She sailed approximately thirty miles from Cape Clear Island to the 新题预测 专题六 │ 新题预测 coast of Co. Cork, Ireland where she got stuck in fog, had to reduce speed, and crossed the path of a German Uboat. Not realizing the ship was just a civil one, the Uboat fired on the Lusitania, striking her under the bridge, and as a result, there was a second much larger explosion which caused the ship to bend heavily to her starboard. The ship's captain ordered all the people to abandon the ship.However, there were serious problems of launching the lifeboats: out of the total of 48, only six were successfully launched. The Lusitania sank in less than twenty minutes, eight miles off the Old Head of Kinsale. 专题六 │ 新题预测

1.D 细节理解题。由第二段的“…with about 1,959 people on board. It was reported that foodstuffs, metal rods, and ingots were loaded on its cargo.”可知答案。
2.B 推理判断题。the Lusitania是当时最大的轮船,很多设施人们闻所未闻,因此看到这艘船的人一定是非常激动的。
3.C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的Not realizing the ship was just a civil one, the Uboat fired on the Lusitania…可知,德国舰艇没有识别出这是一艘民用船只,所以发动攻击是因为它误以为那是一艘对它构成危险的船只。
4.A 主旨大意题。全文讲的是当时最大的一艘民用轮船在最后一次航行中被击沉,因此标题为A。文章不是介绍泰坦尼克号的;也不是故意击沉该船的;D项太不具体了。
