Did you know that vegetables can grow in the climates they are not used to? Cool climate vegetables like asparagus (蘆筍) are now able to be grown in places as hot as Hawaii. In Hawaii, marine (海的)engineers have been able to actually let you believe such vegetables that they are living in cooler climates. In that way they grow faster and taste better. What these engineers have been using is very simply cold sea water. How did they use it? They place pipes in the soil and cold water flowing through them cools the earth. This causes plant growth and enables gardeners in tropical climates (熱帶氣候) to grow crops from cooler climates. Also some of these pipes are exposed to the air and they make the air “wet” and thus water the gardens. What especially makes people happy about this process (過(guò)程) is that nothing to the natural conditions is being used. Another new use for cold ocean water is to cool buildings. Engineers believe that for example the entire west coast of the United States could be air-conditioned using seawater.

 

72. What does the new system enable the gardeners to do?

   A. Water the field with seawater.                          B. Grow asparagus in hot places.

   C. Grow cool climate vegetables in hot areas.        D. Cool the soil.

73. Sea water mentioned in the passage is mainly used to________.

     A. water the farms                                               B. water the gardens     

     C. cool the air                                                      D. make the earth cool

74. What is the report mainly about?

   A. How to grow vegetables in hot areas.              B. How to grow crops in tropical climates.

   C. How to cool the soil.                                     D. How to use sea water.

75. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

   A. sea water can act as an air-conditioner

   B. asparagus are only grown in hot places

   C. the writer wants to tell us something about scientific advance

   D. sea water has many advantages

72. C。利用題目中的關(guān)鍵詞雨，在原文中找到對(duì)應(yīng)詞語(yǔ)，在對(duì)應(yīng)詞語(yǔ)周圍找到答案。A、B項(xiàng)均屬于表面意思，且捕食原文中的具體事實(shí)，D項(xiàng)cool the soil不是最終目的。只有C項(xiàng)是具體事實(shí)：cool climate vegetables are now able to be grown．．．符合文中的the new system。

73. D。A、B、C項(xiàng)所述只是seawater所起的附帶作用，并不是文章所指的主要方面，故正確答案為D。

74. D。找出多次重復(fù)的信息，它必定是主題。這類問(wèn)題的典型形式是：What．．． main．．．／mainly．．．?要求考生指出文章的topic(論題)，subject(主題)，title(標(biāo)題)，main idea(大意)等。seawater在原文中直接出現(xiàn)兩次，間接出現(xiàn)三次：coldwater，cold ocean water，How did they use it? 等，故正確答案為D。

75. C。吃透作者意圖，通過(guò)作者闡述的觀點(diǎn)、敘述的事實(shí)等，避開表面現(xiàn)象，得出可靠結(jié)論。infer，imply (暗示)，suggest，conclude，assume (suppose)等常用于這類題中。A、D項(xiàng)均為字面意思。B項(xiàng)過(guò)于具體，只有C項(xiàng)為作者的真正意圖。

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2011年浙江省高考名校名師新編“百校聯(lián)盟”交流聯(lián)考英語(yǔ)卷 題型：閱讀理解

Did you know that there are gifts that will multiply your happiness when you give them away? Here are five of those gifts． Giving these gifts will allow you to share with others your most unique treasure: your real self． Each gift will return to you many times．

1． Share appreciation

Tell someone how much you appreciate the faith they've shown in you． Thank them sincerely for being part of your life． Tell them how much they are needed．

Feeling appreciated is one of the most important needs that people have． When you share with someone your appreciation and gratitude, they will not forget you． Appreciation will return to you many times．

2． Share time

Balance your time expenditures （耗費(fèi)）so you can spend time with the people that you love． Support local organizations by sharing your special talents． Volunteer time for projects that benefit others in your community, country, and world．

When we slow down and observe our thoughts closely, we will sometimes uncover gifts and talents we didn't know we had． Sharing time and talents can result in discoveries that bring happiness beyond measure．

3． Share knowledge and ideas

Tell someone about a great book that you read so they can benefit from it too． Teach a new concept or idea that you've learned．

One of the best ways to strengthen new concepts in your mind is to share them with others． The more often you share what you've learned, the stronger that information will become in your memory． Sharing knowledge also provides solutions to problems． The more knowledge we share, the more knowledge we receive in return．

4． Share friendship

Acknowledge someone's strengths． Let them know that you are willing to be there when they need you． Visit someone you haven't seen for a long time． Telephone friends or relatives who live far away． Introduce two friends who don't know each other．

Bringing one individual into another's life can result in tremendous changes for both people, and for you． We succeed with the help of others． People grow by growing together． If you'd like to have many friends, then share friendship with others generously．

5． Share kindness

Perform a random act of kindness for someone: a smile, compliment, or a favor just for fun． These will multiply and spread very rapidly．

There is a powerful quote by Stephen Jay Gould who said, “The center of human nature is rooted in ten thousand ordinary acts of kindness that define our days．” Kindness is priceless． The love, kindnesses, and value we have given authentically to others will be our remaining treasures at the end of life．

Think about this statement by Norman MacEwan: “Happiness is not so much in having as sharing． We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give．”

1. What is the best title of this passage？

    A． We want to share．              B． Give your presents away． 

    C． We make a life by giving．      D． Don’t be mean to give．

2. What can we learn from Stephen Jay Gould’s words？

    A． We all come from a world which is in a harmonious atmosphere．

    B． Everybody’s deep heart is filled with kindness at first, which decides our present life．

    C． Kindness is the most important thing in our daily life．

    D． We need kindness all the time．

3. For those who are living a life on the go, what suggestion will the writer probably give to them?

    A． Tell the people around you how much you love them．

    B． No one is an isolated island． We succeed with the help of others

    C． The more knowledge we share, the more knowledge we receive in return．

    D． Slow down and enjoy the life, which may bring you a brand new world with happiness．
