Question

【題目】 Have you ever heard of ＂a ball of energy＂? People often use it to describe very active children. But today we tell about an invention called the soccket, that is a real soccer ball of energy. Julia Silverman explains that in fact the soccket is a portable generator(便攜式發(fā)電機(jī)).

Julia Silverman and Jessica Matthews developed the soccket as part of a group project for an engineering class at Harvard University.

There are mechanisms(裝置) in a soccket. When you kick, hit or throw it, energy is then kept in it by these mechanisms instead of disappearing into the environment.

Then the user can put something directly into the ball, like a lamp, or a mobile phone charger so that they can get energy from it.

For every fifteen minutes of the game play, the soccket can provide enough electricity(電) for an LED lamp for three hours, and the ball can store(儲(chǔ)藏) up to 24 hours’ electricity.

The International Energy Association reported last year that nearly one and a half billion people in the world had no electricity to use, and most of them live in sub-Saharan Africa and in India and other countries in Asia.

Julia Silverman and Jessica Matthews both had experiences in developing countries before they began the project. They knew that power shortages are a serious problem in really areas.

There’s an energy crisis in the world. One out of every five people in the world don’t have any electricity. And besides that, there are a lot of health problems because what people use instead of the electricity are harmful choices like kerosene(煤油) lamps, which produce a lot of smoke.

Julia Silverman says the soccket ball is one small solution(解決方法) to a big problem.

Jessica Matthews and Julia Silverman hope their soccket ball will shine more light on the problem of power shortages. It offers people a chance to put their energy into the world’s most popular sport and get some energy in return.

【1】From the passage, we know the soccket is ________.

A. fifteen minutesB. half an hourC. six hoursD. three hours

【3】The underlined word ＂crisis＂ in the passage means ________.

A. a time of safetyB. a time of difficultyC. a time of successD. a time of pride

【4】We can infer(推斷) from the passage that ________.

A. Julia Silverman has never been to developing countries before

B. Active children like to play soccket

C. kicking a soccket can let the energy disappear into the environment

D. people are expected to get some energy by playing soccket

【5】The best title for the passage should be ＂________＂.

A. The only way to produce electricityB. The best way to solve energy crisis

C. A soccer ball that gives energyD. An invention changing the world

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】C

【3】B

【4】D

【5】C

【解析】

本文介紹了一種被叫做soccket的用來提供能量的發(fā)明．這是一個(gè)真正的充滿能量的足球，實(shí)際上soccket是一個(gè)便攜式發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)，是由JuliaSilverman和JessicaMatthews兩人研制的，Jessica Matthews和Julia Silverman希望soccket球?qū)�為解決世界電力短缺這一難題帶來希望和光明．

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“But today we tell about an invention called the soccket”可知這種被叫做soccket的是一個(gè)發(fā)明。故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段“For every fifteen minutes of the game play, the soccket can provide enough electricity(電) for an LED lamp for three hours在每玩15分鐘的游戲中，SOCCKET就可以為一盞LED燈提供足夠的電力供三個(gè)小時(shí)使用。”那么結(jié)合題意，玩半小時(shí)，也就是兩個(gè)15分鐘，推出正好是三個(gè)小時(shí)的2倍即六個(gè)小時(shí)。故選C。

【3】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)后句 One out of every five people in the world don't have any electricity 世界上每五個(gè)人中就有一個(gè)沒有電，推出前句應(yīng)是說不好的事情，即世界存在著能源危機(jī)，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)只有 B a time of difficulty "困難時(shí)期"與之意義相似。故選：B。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第七段 Julia Silverman and Jessica Matthews both had experiences in developing countries before they began the project ．可知 Julia Silverman 和Jessica Matthews兩人以前都去過發(fā)展中國家，故 A 錯(cuò) B 選項(xiàng)"活躍的孩子喜歡 soccket "，從文中找不到相關(guān)依據(jù)，故排除；根據(jù)第三段 When you kick， hit or throw it，energy is then kept in it by these mechanisms instead of disappearing into the environment.可知當(dāng)你踢,打或扔它,能源就被這些裝置保存在里面,而不是消失到環(huán)境中.C的說法正好與此相反,故錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)第八段 There' s an energy crisis in the world世界存在著能源危機(jī),結(jié)合最后兩段的內(nèi)容Julia Silverman says the socket ball is one small solation(解決方法) to a big problem. Jessica Matthews and Julia Silverman hope their socket ball will shine more light on the problem of power shortages, Julia Silverman說soccket球是個(gè)解決這個(gè)大難題的方案. Jessica Matthews和 Julia Silverman希望soccket球?qū)�為解決電力短缺的問題帶來希望和光明,可推出人們期望通過玩 soccket獲得一些能量,故D的說法正確,故選D。

【5】主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段 But today we tell about an invention called the soccket ， that is a real soccer ball of energy ，聯(lián)系全文內(nèi)容可知本文就是介紹了一種叫做 soccket 的能夠提供能量的足球的情況。故 C ： A soccer ball that gives energy "一個(gè)提供能量的足球"作為題目最合適。故選C

推理判斷題：通過字里行間的閱讀，作合理的推斷。

解題技巧：1.分析文章的主旨。

2.分清文章的主要思想及次要思想。

3.尋找文章的邏輯思路。

4.核對問題中各項(xiàng)選擇與文章中有關(guān)詞句的聯(lián)系。

歸納概括題:此題主要針對文章的主題、中心思想、文章的結(jié)構(gòu)層次（主題句或主題段），要求學(xué)生在理解全文后歸納短文要點(diǎn)，概括中心思路。

解題技巧：通讀全文，了解大意，靈活運(yùn)用概括、判斷、歸納、推理等方法，準(zhǔn)確理解文章的話題和中心思想。有時(shí)還要求對作者敘述的意圖和觀點(diǎn)作進(jìn)一步剖析，甚至推測作者的語氣和態(tài)度等。一般說來，文章的段落常有概括中心思想的主題句，且多位于段首或段末，有時(shí)也會(huì)夾在中間。對無主題句的篇章，考生應(yīng)對文章進(jìn)行分析和歸納，然后概括中心思想。
