　　Naturally the villagers felt

　　and soon a fire was put to the town’s greatest kettle(鍋) as the soldiers

　　Ⅲ.閱讀理解

　　MIT researchers and their colleagues are working to find out whether energy from trees can power a network of sensors (傳感器) to prevent spreading forest fires.

　　What they learn could also raise the possibility of using trees as silent guards along the nation’s borders to discover potential threats such as smuggled (走私的) radioactive materials.

　　The U．S. Forest Service currently predicts and tracks fires with a variety of tools, including remote automatic weather stations. But these stations are expensive and sparsely (稀疏地) distributed. Additional sensors could save trees by providing better local climate data to be used in fire prediction models and earlier warnings. However, recharging or replacing batteries by hand at very hard－to－reach locations makes it impractical and costly.

　　The new sensor system seeks to avoid this problem by developing trees into a self－sustaining power supply. Each sensor is equipped with a battery that can be

　　slowly recharged using electricity produced by the tree. “A single tree doesn’t generate a lot of power, but over time the trickle (細流) charge adds up, just like ________” said Shuguang Zhang, one of the researchers on the project and the associate director of the MIT’s Center for Biomedical Engineering (CBE)．

　　The system produces enough electricity to allow the temperature and humidity sensors to wirelessly send out signals four times a day, or immediately if there’s a fire. Each signal spreads from one sensor to another, until it reaches an existing weather station that sends the data by satellite to a forestry command center in Boise, Idaho.

　　Scientists have long known that trees can produce extremely small amounts of electricity. But no one knew exactly how the energy was produced or how to take advantage of the power.

　　28．What are the disadvantages of the remote automatic weather stations?

　　a. They cost too much.

　　b. They are of poor quality.

　　c. They are not enough.

　　d. They can’t reach remote places.

　　A．a, bB．b, dC．a, cD．b, c

　　29．Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank?

　　A．Far water does not put out near fire.

　　B．All rivers run into sea.

　　C．Many a little makes a mickle.

　　D．It never rains but it pours.

　　30．What Shuguang Zhang said in Paragraph 4 means that ________.

　　A．a single tree is enough to generate much power

　　B．the power from the tree can’t be stored

　　C．trees can generate enough power for our life

　　D．a tree can produce the electricity to meet the needs of a sensor

　　31．What would the author talk about after the last paragraph of the passage?

　　A．The amount of electricity trees produce.

　　B．How trees produce electricity.

　　C．Trees’ contribution to society.

　　D．The research process of tree power.

　　32．What would be the best title for the passage?

　　A．Preventing forest fires with tree power

　　B．Trees can produce electricity

　　C．Tree power in daily life

　　D．Developing new energy

　　Ⅳ.閱讀簡答

　　The earthquake and tsunami have caused huge human and material losses in Japan, and the threat of unclear radiation has added to people’s sadness. Some of the factories will have to move outside the country to ensure its business.

　　Owing to the level of the damage to Japanese factories and infrastructure, it will be weeks or even months before the country’s supply chain returns to normal and its manufacturing level gets back to its previous level. While most factories will be running as usual in the next few months, it is likely that some of the older and less efficient ones will be shut down. It will thus be cheaper and easier to use manufacturing bases in China and other low－cost countries than to rebuild the factories in Japan.

　　One example of the changes in Japanese companies’ strategy is that less than half of the automobile manufacturing capacity of Toyota, Nissan, and Honda is in Japan. With the triple disasters affecting in Japan, its automobile companies are expected to keep increasing manufacturing outside the country, and China looks like an appropriate destination for that.

　　A similar strategy applies to consumer products such as TV sets, music players and mobile handsets. Companies such as Sony have already moved much of their manufacturing to other countries, and this trend will continue. The production of many semiconductor products will steadily move outside Japan, too with perhaps the establishment of strategic relationships with other countries.

　　Is this trend bad for Japan? No, if new industries are built to take advantage of the opportunities in the global market to ensure a better future.

　　33．What has contributed to the Japan’s disaster? (No more than 9 words)

　　________________________________________________________________________

　　34．List two different kinds of products that have already moved their factories outside Japan.(No more than 7 words)

　　________________________________________________________________________

　　35．Why won’t many Japanese factories plan to rebuild but turn to foreign bases after the disaster？(No more than 8 words)

　　________________________________________________________________________

　　36．What is the main idea of the passage？(No more than 10 words)

　　________________________________________________________________________

　　________________________________________________________________________

　　課時作業(九)

　　Ⅰ.1.A　考查形容詞辨析。句意：你意識到學習外語的重要性了嗎？這四個形容詞意為對某件事很留心或很注意。aware 意指通過自己直覺，如根據別人的態度或者依靠某種信息方式而得到的認識；sensible 指通過感性知覺或通過直覺得到的認識；awake意為清醒的；conscious 強調某種感知到或感覺到的認識。be aware of 或者be conscious of而sensible和awake不可用of結構。

　　2．C　 考查副詞辨析。especially特別，尤其；luckily幸運地；unfortunately，意思是“令人遺憾地，不巧，可惜”；naturally自然地。根據句意可知選C項，在句中用作插入語。

　　3．B　考查部分倒裝。那個男孩對英語一無所知，我也是。此句為一個否定而且只談到兩個人，應用“neither”。

　　4．A　此句考查的是“主語＋is said＋to do…”中的不定式的時態。從句中的already常與完成時態連用。leave所表示的動作發生在is said之前，故leave應用不定式的完成式；又因為leave與he之間是主動關系，不能用被動式，所以選A。

　　5．B　考查There is no doubt that...和there is no doubt of/about...兩個句型，用來表示“對某事確定無疑”。從句子的意思來看，只有B合適。第一個句中的that 從句為同位語從句，主句為否定式時，從句用that引導，主句為肯定式時，從句用whether/if引導。

　　6．B　 考查交際用語。句意：——我已經把園藝作為我的嗜好。你有什么建議嗎？——繼續努力吧！A項意為“你會成功的。”，B項意為“繼續努力吧。”，C項意為“別提了。”，D項意為“別緊張，慢慢來”。根據四項基本含義可知應該選擇B項。

　　7．D　考查非謂語動詞。judging by… 常用作評判性狀語。故答案應為D。

　　8．D　考查倒裝和詞語辨析。當表示地點的介詞短語置于句首時，句子全部倒裝。同時根據賓語a new look可知take on是“呈現”之意。

　　9．C　考查主謂一致。Mr White為句子主語。

　　10．A　 考查名詞性從句和定語從句。第一個空用what引導表語從句，在句中作表語。第二空為定語從句，when在定語從句中作時間狀語。

　　11．D　考查謂語動詞的用法。第一空the young 意思為“年輕人”表示復數意義，故謂語動詞要用復數形式，且用主動語態；第二空謂語動詞用單數形式，且用被動結構，選項B第一空為被動結構，不符合句子意思。

　　12．C　 考查非謂語動詞。from的賓語用動名詞形式，又根據cut down與trees是被動關系可知選C。

　　13．A　 A little bird told me用于不想說出是誰告訴的，意思是“有人告訴我的，不告訴你我是怎么知道的”。
