文章剖析:
這篇文章是有關(guān)Google公司在能源方面計(jì)劃進(jìn)行的一場(chǎng)革命,要用低廉的可再生能源來(lái)替代煤炭。第一段引出這個(gè)話題,指出目前Google的做法;第二段講述煤炭資源的弊端和Google的目標(biāo);第三、四段講述Googel投資的兩家公司;第五、六段講述該公司在能源環(huán)保方面所作的努力。
詞匯注釋:
fledgling adj. 年輕的或無(wú)經(jīng)驗(yàn)的 geothermal adj.地?zé)岬? 地溫的, 地?zé)?或地溫)產(chǎn)生的
gigawatt n. 十億瓦特 turbine n. 渦輪
scalable adj. 可升級(jí)的 philanthropic adj. 慈善的,樂善好施的
pledge v. 許諾,抵押 lobby v. 游說(shuō)
難句突破:
(1) Not only will Google be hiring engineers and energy experts for its new initiative, known as RE
[主體句式] Not only will Google be…but it also…
[結(jié)構(gòu)分析]這是一個(gè)并列句。前面的分句中,known as…過去分詞結(jié)構(gòu)是前面new initiative的定語(yǔ);后面分句中,破折號(hào)后面的現(xiàn)在分詞結(jié)構(gòu)是前面companies的定語(yǔ),在該定語(yǔ)中,that引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句修飾前面的those。
[句子譯文] 谷歌不僅會(huì)為自己新的項(xiàng)目――RE
(2) They are eSolar, of Pasadena, which is specializing in solar-thermal power, using large fields of mirrors to concentrate sunlight and generate steam to run utility-scale electric turbines, and Makani of Alameda, which is developing wind energy technology that takes advantage of the much stronger and more reliable currents available at high altitudes.
[主體結(jié)構(gòu)]They are eSolar and Makani.
[結(jié)構(gòu)分析]這是一個(gè)復(fù)合句,eSolar后面是用來(lái)修飾它的以which引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句,using large…是現(xiàn)在分詞結(jié)構(gòu)修飾eSolar;Makani后面是修飾它的以which引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句,該定語(yǔ)從句中,that引導(dǎo)的從句是用來(lái)修飾technology的。
[句子譯文] 這兩家公司是帕薩迪納的“e太陽(yáng)能公司”和阿拉米達(dá)的Makani公司!癳太陽(yáng)能公司”專業(yè)制造太陽(yáng)能熱能,用大片的鏡子聚集太陽(yáng)光生成蒸汽來(lái)推動(dòng)多用途電力渦輪,而Makani公司是利用高地強(qiáng)力、可靠的氣流來(lái)發(fā)展風(fēng)力能源技術(shù)。
題目分析:
1.The word “fledgling” (Line 7, Paragraph 1) most probably means_____1. “fledgling”(第一段第七行)這個(gè)詞最有可能的意思為_____
[A] inexperienced.[A] 沒有經(jīng)驗(yàn)的。
[B] promising.[B] 有前途的。
[C] new.[C] 新的。
[D] initiative.[D] 初步的,開始的。
[答案]C
[難度系數(shù)] ☆☆
[分析] 猜詞題。根據(jù)上下文,這種公司包括太陽(yáng)能技術(shù)、增強(qiáng)的地?zé)、高地風(fēng)力的公司,這是一種新興的公司,因此,最為合適的選項(xiàng)為C。
2. Which one of the following statements is TRUE of the coal?2. 關(guān)于煤炭,下列哪個(gè)陳述是正確的?
[A] It is a kind of controversial fuel given its large quantity and its harm to the harm the environment.[A] 它是一種有爭(zhēng)議的燃料,一方面儲(chǔ)量巨大,另一方面卻對(duì)環(huán)境有害。
[B] It is a plentiful and cheap fuel that will surely earn more market share.[B] 它是一種充足的、廉價(jià)的燃料,因此自然會(huì)贏得更多的市場(chǎng)份額。
[C] It will be totally replaced by the renewable energy in years because it produces the worst gas―carbon dioxide.[C]由于煤炭會(huì)產(chǎn)生一種最糟糕的氣體―二氧化碳,因此在近幾年內(nèi)它就會(huì)完全被可再生能源所替代。
[D] It is supported by enthusiastic countries like China and U.S.[D] 它得到了諸如美國(guó)和中國(guó)這樣的國(guó)家的熱情支持。
[答案]A。
[難度系數(shù)] ☆☆☆
[分析] 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段,選項(xiàng)A,從第二段的'前兩句話可以看出,煤炭由于其資源豐富且廉價(jià)、因此得到了廣泛的使用,但同時(shí)又對(duì)環(huán)境造成了傷害,可見煤炭是一種頗具爭(zhēng)議性的資源。選項(xiàng)B,對(duì)于美國(guó)、中國(guó)是這種情況,但不一定對(duì)于其他國(guó)家也是。選項(xiàng)C,Google正在努力的目標(biāo)是可再生能源產(chǎn)量可以供應(yīng)舊金山城市規(guī)模大小的城市使用,但并不一定能完全取代煤炭,只能是逐步的,同時(shí)第二段里面有一句話,說(shuō)煤炭是產(chǎn)生二氧化碳最嚴(yán)重的燃料,而不是產(chǎn)生了最糟糕的二氧化碳,因此C選項(xiàng)也不正確。因此,答案為A。
3. Google.org is a _____3. Google.org是一個(gè)_____
[A] conventionally type of organization.[A] 傳統(tǒng)的慈善組織。
[B] equity investor in companies.[B] 投資公司股票的投資機(jī)構(gòu)。
[C] a branch website of Google.com that focuses on charity activities.[C] Google.com的分支網(wǎng)站,專門負(fù)責(zé)慈善活動(dòng)。
[D] environmental organization that specializes in promoting green fuel.[D] 致力于推動(dòng)綠色燃料的使用的環(huán)境組織
[答案]A
[難度系數(shù)] ☆☆☆☆
[分析] 細(xì)節(jié)題。關(guān)鍵是要正確理解which is not a traditional charity but can make equity investments in companies這句話的句式結(jié)構(gòu),意為“不僅…而且…”,說(shuō)Google.org不僅是一家傳統(tǒng)的慈善組織,而且也投資公司股票;后面指出Google投資改善氣候變化和全球貧困問題,這都是慈善行為?梢酝茢,這主要是一家慈善機(jī)構(gòu)。C選項(xiàng)比較具有迷惑定,但是通過閱讀全文我們可以發(fā)現(xiàn)Google.org看起來(lái)像是一個(gè)網(wǎng)站名,但是其實(shí)是一個(gè)組織。D選項(xiàng)把該組織定義為“環(huán)境組織”是錯(cuò)誤的。正確答案為A選項(xiàng)。
4. Which one of the following is NOT true of RE
[A] It will be realized through investments in solar and wind energy companies.[A] 通過投資太陽(yáng)能、風(fēng)能公司可以實(shí)現(xiàn)該項(xiàng)目。
[B] It is a programme of environmental protection.[B] 這是環(huán)境保護(hù)項(xiàng)目。
[C] It is one of the measures taken to neutralize carbon.[C] 這是中化碳的一種方法。
[D] It can come into true in a few years.[D] 在近幾年內(nèi)該項(xiàng)目就可以實(shí)現(xiàn)。
[答案] A
[難度系數(shù)] ☆☆☆☆
[分析] 推理題。選項(xiàng)A,該項(xiàng)目和投資太陽(yáng)能、風(fēng)能公司是實(shí)現(xiàn)Google公司產(chǎn)出比煤炭更加低廉燃料的兩種途徑,并非有直接的手段聯(lián)系。選項(xiàng)B在文章第五段提到了,是整治氣候變化的一步,那么可以算是環(huán)保項(xiàng)目;C,第五段有提及“The company says it is on track in its goal to be carbon neutral in ”;D,既然公司的目標(biāo)在幾年內(nèi)都可以實(shí)現(xiàn),那么其中的一個(gè)步驟或項(xiàng)目也有望實(shí)現(xiàn)。由此可見,答案為A選項(xiàng)。
5. The best title of this passage is_____5. 這篇文章最好的題目為_____
[A] Google’s RE
[B]Google, the Energy Revolutionary.[B] 谷歌,能源革命者。
[C] Google, the Environmental Protector.[C] 谷歌,環(huán)境保護(hù)者。
[D] Google’s Renewable Energy Project.[D] 谷歌可再生能源項(xiàng)目。
[答案] B
[難度系數(shù)] ☆☆
[分析]主旨題。這篇文章主要講述了谷歌要開發(fā)出一種比煤炭?jī)r(jià)格低的可再生能源燃料,從而可以提供低價(jià)的能源,也可以保護(hù)環(huán)境。
A,該項(xiàng)目只是其中一個(gè)舉措
B,主要就是談到能源創(chuàng)新,因此這個(gè)題目比較合適
C,主要還是關(guān)于能源,不只是關(guān)于環(huán)境
D,文章并未一一列舉項(xiàng)目,只是給出了一些情況。答案為B選項(xiàng)。

Directions:
In the following article, some sentences have been removed. For Questions 1-5, choose the most suitable one from the list A―G to fit into each of the numbered blank. There are two extra choices, which do not fit in any of the gaps.
One morning, a few years ago, Harvard President Neil Rudenstine overslept. 1)Only after a three-month sabbatical ― during which he read essayist Lewis Thomas, listened to Ravel and walked with his wife on a Caribbean beach― was he able to return to his post. That week, his picture was on the cover of Newsweek magazine beside the banner headline “Exhausted!”
In the relentless busyness of modern life, we have lost the rhythm between action and rest. I speak with people in business and education, doctors and day-care workers, shopkeepers and social workers, parents and teachers, nurses and lawyers, students and therapists, community activist and cooks. Remarkably, there is a universal refrain: “I am so busy”. The more our life speeds up, the more we feel weary, overwhelmed and lost.
2) Instead, the whole experience of being alive begins to melt into one enormous obligation. It becomes the standard greeting everywhere: “I am so busy”.
We say this to one another with no small degree of pride. The busier we are, the more important we seem to ourselves and, we imagine, to others. To be unavailable to our friends and family, to be unable to find time for the sunset (or even to know that the sun has set at all), to whiz through our obligations without time for a single mindful breath ― this has become the model of a successful life.
Because we do not rest, we lose our way. We lose the nourishment that gives us succor. We miss the quiet that gives us wisdom. Poisoned by the hypnotic belief that good things come only through tireless effort, we never truly rest.
This is not the world we dreamed of when we were young. How did we get so terribly rushed in a world saturated with work and responsibility, yet somehow bereft of joy and delight?
We have forgotten the Sabbath.
3)It is time to be nourished and refreshed as we let our work, our chores and our important projects lie fallow, trusting that there are larger forces at work taking care of the world when we are at rest.
If certain plant species do not lie dormant during winter, the plant begins to die off. 4)
So “Remember the Sabbath” is more than simply a lifestyle suggestion. It is a commandment, an ethical precept as serious as prohibitions against killing, stealing and lying.
Sabbath is more than the absence of work. Many of us, in our desperate drive to be successful and care for our many responsibilities, feel terrible guilt when we take time to rest. But the Sabbath has proven its wisdom over the ages. Many of us still recall when not long ago, shops and offices where closed on Sundays. Those quiet Sunday afternoons are embedded in our cultural memory.
Much of modern life is specifically designed to seduce our attention away from rest. When we are in the world with our eyes wide open, the seductions are insatiable.5)For those of us with children, there are endless soccer practices, baseball games, homework, laundry, housecleaning, errands. Every responsibility, every stimulus competes for our attention: Buy me .Do me. Watch me. Try me. Drink me. It is as if we have inadvertently stumbled into some horrific wonderland.
。跘]Rest is not just a psychological convenience; it is a biological necessity.
。跙]After years of non-stop toil in an atmosphere that rewarded frantic overwork, Rudenstine collapsed.
[C]Hundreds of channels of cable and satellite television; phones with multiple lines and call-waiting. begging us to talk to more than one person at a time; mail, e-mail and overnight mail, fax machines; billboards; magazines; newspapers; radio.
。跠]Sometimes you can have a rest on Sundays. But your heart and soul is no longer quiet.
[E]Sabbath is the time that consecrated to enjoy and celebrate what is beautiful and good ― time to light candles, sing songs, worship, tell stories, bless our children and loved ones, give thanks, share meals, nap, walk and even make love.
。跢]Once upon a time. Sabbath is our heaven. We often walk in the green parks with friends or have a picnic lunch with the family. Listening to the birds on the tree makes me feel peaceful. But whatever happened to Sunday now?
[G]Today our life and work rarely feel light, pleasant or healing.
答案及詳解
1.B。通讀全文,不難掌握大意,作者試圖回答一個(gè)人人都困惑的問題“我們的休息日,我們舒適的,輕松的生活哪里去了”。本文用哈佛大學(xué)校長(zhǎng)的例子作引,空白處下首的句子意為“在三個(gè)月休假后,他才能重新工作”說(shuō)明空白處的句子依然談?wù)摰腵是校長(zhǎng)當(dāng)時(shí)疲憊的狀況,因此選項(xiàng)B符合要求。
2.G。第三段段首空出,而下句用一個(gè)Instead連接說(shuō)明上下文是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,而同時(shí)我們結(jié)合第二段來(lái)分析,第二段主要說(shuō)明現(xiàn)在的人,不管職業(yè)、年齡、身份,都整日處于奔波勞碌中,所以起到承上啟下作用的選項(xiàng)G是最佳選擇。
3.E。上文是單句段“我們已經(jīng)將禮拜日塵封腦后了”,而下文則提出“家務(wù)事和重要規(guī)劃暫且擱在一邊,讓我們好好享受”承接前文,后面順理成章的回憶了禮拜日快樂的時(shí)光,最后振臂高呼“讓我們好好享受吧”可見,空白處是關(guān)于對(duì)以往快樂禮拜日的重現(xiàn),所以,運(yùn)用了一系列排比句子的選項(xiàng)E很貼切,有極強(qiáng)的感染力。
4.A。 此處答案較為簡(jiǎn)單,從上下文看都有很明顯的暗示,而選項(xiàng)A“休息不僅是心理上的舒適也是生理上的必需”,不但能夠前后呼應(yīng),而且渾然一體,邏輯十分嚴(yán)密。
5.C。 從上文“我們的欲望是無(wú)窮無(wú)盡的”下面列舉了一系列的娛樂方式,如電視、電話、郵件、傳真等等,意在渲染強(qiáng)烈的感情色彩,以證明“無(wú)窮無(wú)盡”的論點(diǎn),所以選項(xiàng)C為正確答案。
中心思想
本文引用哈佛大學(xué)的校長(zhǎng)的例子展開全文,指出現(xiàn)在人們的生活越來(lái)越乏味,工作越來(lái)越忙,時(shí)間越來(lái)越不夠用,總是處于疲于奔命的狀態(tài),原本輕松,愉快的休息日早已銷聲匿跡了,面對(duì)越來(lái)越快的生活節(jié)奏,越來(lái)越多的娛樂活動(dòng),我們反而再也找不到往昔的歡樂,逐漸地在物欲橫流的叫囂聲中迷失了自我。
