课时作业28 A healthy life
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2017·辽宁省沈阳市二中月考)
“Have you ever been out on a boat and felt it lifted up by a wave? Or have you jumped in the water and felt the rush of energy as waves came over you?” asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of Edinburgh. “There is certainly a lot of energy in waves,” he said.
Scientists are working to use that energy to make electricity. Most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean. “The wind starts out by making little ripples(涟漪),but if they keep on blowing, those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves,” Taylor said. “Waves are one of nature's ways of picking_up energy and then sending it off on a journey.”
When waves come toward the shore, people can set up dams to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine(涡轮机). The turbine can then power an electrical generator to produce electricity.
“The resource is huge,”said Janet Swain of the World Watch Institute.“We will never run out of wave power.”Besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources, such as oil or coal.Oceans cover three quarters of the Earth's surface—that would make wave power seem ideal for creating energy throughout the world, though there are some weak points yet to overcome.
Swain said that wave power still costs too much money. She also said that its effects on sea animals are still unknown. What is more,wave power could affect fishing and boat traffic. Traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may someday run out.“Demand for energy to power our TVs and computers, drive our cars, and heat and cool our homes is rising rapidly throughout the world,”Swain said. In the future when you turn on a light, an ocean wave could be providing the electricity!
1.The writer uses the two questions at the beginning of the passage to________.
A.test the readers' knowledge about waves
B.draw the readers' attention to the topic
C.show Jamie Taylor's importance
D.invite the readers to answer them
2.The underlined phrase “picking up”is closest in meaning to________.
A.starting again B.speeding up
C.improving
D.gathering
3.We can make better use of wave energy if we________.
A.shorten its journey to thousands of homes
B.build more small power stations on the oceans
C.reduce the cost of turning it into electric power
D.quicken the steps of producing electricity
4.It can be inferred that someday we might not worry about________.
A.our power supply
B.our boat traffic
C.air pollution
D.our supply of sea fish
答案与解析

6.D 学校不接收女生。hire “租用”; entertain “娱乐,款待”; trust “信任”; accept “接收”。根据句意可知D项正确。
7.C 加拿大的医学院不收女学生,因此她去了美国费城的女子医学院学习医学。故选C项。

9.A 文章第一段介绍她在五岁时搬到了蒙特利尔,第二段又介绍主人公去了美国学习,然后学成归来,故此处应该是再次回到蒙特利尔,故只有A项正确。
10.C 根据下文11空后的 doctor,可知回到家乡之后,她建立了一家私人诊所,成了一名医生。故选C项。
11.A 下文提到她的许多病人的情况,因此表示她忙于治病,再次成为一名忙碌的医生。故选A项。
12.B 她忙着给受伤的肢体做手术。find oneself doing sth. “发觉自己处于某种处境”往往含有一种不自觉的意味。
13.C 根据前面提到的 damaged 可以得知,此处应为断骨。故选C项。
14.D 但是她却始终没有医师执照,因此她在这两个地方申请获得医师执照。put away “收起来,放好”; take over “接管”; turn in “上交”; apply for “申请”。根据句意可知D项正确。
15.B 根据上文的 but 以及下文第18空后的“too, refused”可知,她被拒绝了。故选B项。

I have just got some good news to tell to you. I win a national prize for painting last week. My father was so pleasing that he suggested I went to England for a holiday. I'd like to staying there for half a month, visiting place of interest or practicing my English as well. We've been often writing to each for a year and a half now. I have often dreamed of talk face to face with you. I imagine you'll be at vacation yourself by that time.
