Ⅱ.[2011·北京卷] 阅读理解
As the railroads and the highways shaped the American West in the past centuries, a new electrical generating(发电)and transmission(输送) system for the 21st century will leave a lasting mark on the West, for better or worse.Much of the real significance of railroads and highways is not in their direct physical effect on the scenery, but in the ways that they affect the surrounding community.The same is true of big solar plants and the power lines that will be laid down to move electricity around.
The 19th century saw land grants (政府拨地) offered to railroad companies to build the transcontinental railroads, leaving public land in between privately owned land.In much of the West, some of the railroad sections were developed while others remained undeveloped, and in both cases the landownership has presented unique challenges to land management.With the completion of the interstate highway system, many of the small towns, which sprang up as railway stops and developed well, have lost their lifeblood and died.
Big solar plants and their power lines will also have effects far beyond their direct footprint in the West.This is not an argument against building them.We need alternative energy badly, and to readily take advantage of it we need to be able to move electricity around far more readily than we can now.
So tradeoffs will have to be made.Some scenic spots will be sacrificed.Some species will be forced to move, or will be carefully moved to special accommodations.Deals will be struck to reduce the immediate effects.
The lasting effects of these tradeoffs are another matter.The 21st century development of the American West as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and money in the region.There are chances for that power and money to do a lot of good.But it is just as likely that they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind, just like the railroads and the highways.
The money set aside in negotiated tradeoffs and the institutions that control it will shape the West far beyond the immediate footprint of power plants and transmission lines.So let's remember the effects of the railroads and the highways as we construct these new power plants in the West.
11．What was the problem caused by the construction of the railways?
A．Small towns along the railways became abandoned.
B．Some railroad stops remained underused.
C．Land in the West was hard to manage.
D．Land grants went into private hands.
12．What is the major concern in the development of alternative energy according to the last two paragraphs?
A．The transmission of power.
B．The use of money and power.
C．The conservation of solar energy.
D．The selection of an ideal place.
13．What is the author's attitude towards building solar plants?
A．Cautious.
B．Approving.
C．Doubtful.
D．Disapproving.
14．Which is the best title for the passage?
A．How the Railways Have Affected the West
B．How Solar Energy Could Reshape the West
C．How the Effects of Power Plants Can Be Reduced
D．How the Problems of the Highways Have Been Settled

Ⅱ.这是一篇科普类的说明文。对比高速公路，铁路建设对美国西部的影响，作者探讨了可替代能源建设在开展时对该地区的影响，建议在建设中要采取审慎的态度。
11. C 细节理解题。由第二段的…and in both cases the landownership has presented unique challenges to land management…可以看出，铁路修建的问题造成了西部土地的管理难度加大。
12. B 细节理解题。由倒数第二段的…as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and money…以及最后一段第一句的叙述，可以看出，在可替代能源的开发中最大的问题就是“money and power”。

24．devoted to searching for 这里to是介词，因此后面要用动名词。
Ⅳ.One possible version：
Dear John，
How is everything going?
You know，I'm in Grade Three now. A selective test is going to be held next week in our school. Those who pass the test will have a chance to join a winter holiday camp in Oxford University. It has long been my dream to travel abroad and learn authentic English. And the winter camp is officially organized by the British Council. So I treasure the opportunity very much.
Now I would like to enter for the test. However, my family are all against it. As far as I'm concerned, what they care more is my future College Entrance Examination, which I should concern the most. I don't think it's a complete waste of time to take part in the camp. Could you give me some advice? I believe I will benefit a lot from your valuable and timely advice.
I'm looking forward to your reply.
Yours，
Li Hua
