【題目】 Sheridan is a town in Indiana, USA. There are lots of trees near the public schools in the town. Their leaves turn sunlight into energy (能量).

In Sheridan, the sun not just provides energy for plants. It keeps schools running, too. The schools use solar panels (太陽(yáng)能電池板) to turn sunlight into energy.

The science behind solar energy is not new. But Sheridan Community Schools is the first school district (學(xué)區(qū)) in Indiana to be completely solar-powered. The district finished putting in solar panels for all three of its schools in 2016. Some of the panels can turn to follow the sun across the sky.

In 2008, fewer than 1,000 schools used solar power. By 2014, there were 3,727 schools with solar panels in the USA. These numbers come from a report by the Solar Foundation. Roxie Brown, a program director there, said that the number of schools with solar panels has continued to go up since 2014.

Solar energy has some advantages over other energy sources (來(lái)源). Sunlight is a renewable source, which means it won't run out. Solar panels don't harm the environment. Also, sunlight is free. So by using solar power, schools can save money on energy costs.

Brown thinks more schools should run on solar energy.“The sun is Earth's energy source,” she says. “We’re trying to make it the energy source for our houses, cars and schools, too.”

But using solar energy isn't always easy. Solar panels can be expensive to put in. The panels also take up space. But for many schools, going solar is worth it.

【1】What does the underlined word“It”refer to?

A. A plant.B. The sun.

C. A district.D. The solar panel.

【2】Sheridan Community Schools put in solar panels ________.

A. in 2008B. for all its schools

C. with the help of the Solar FoundationD. together with other 1,000 schools in the USA

【3】According to Roxie Brown, the number of schools with solar panels ________.

A. has risenB. has fallenC. is too smallD. is large enough

【4】What does the underlined word “renewable” mean in Chinese?

A. 可開發(fā)的B. 可替代的C. 可再生的D. 可加工的

【答案】

【1】B

【2】B

【3】A

【4】C

【解析】

文章大意：學(xué)校使用太陽(yáng)能電池板將陽(yáng)光轉(zhuǎn)化為能量。但是使用太陽(yáng)能并不總是那么容易。太陽(yáng)能電池板的安裝成本很高。面板也占據(jù)了空間。但是對(duì)于許多學(xué)校來(lái)說(shuō)，太陽(yáng)能是值得的。

【1】理解猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)In Sheridan, the sun not just provides energy for plants. It keeps schools running, too. 在謝里丹，太陽(yáng)不僅為植物提供能量。它也讓學(xué)校繼續(xù)運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)。可知，帶下劃線的單詞“it”指的是太陽(yáng)。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)The district finished putting in solar panels for all three of its schools in 2016. 2016年，該區(qū)完成了所有的三所學(xué)校的太陽(yáng)能電池板安裝�？芍蔬xB。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)These numbers come from a report by the Solar Foundation. Roxie Brown, a program director there, said that the number of schools with solar panels has continued to go up since 2014這些數(shù)字來(lái)自太陽(yáng)基金會(huì)的一份報(bào)告。那里的項(xiàng)目主管羅克西·布朗說(shuō)，自2014年以來(lái)，使用太陽(yáng)能電池板的學(xué)校數(shù)量一直在增加。可知，.據(jù)Roxie Brown稱，使用太陽(yáng)能電池板的學(xué)校數(shù)量有所增加。故選A。

【4】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)Sunlight is a renewable source, which means it won't run out. Solar panels don't harm the environment. Also, sunlight is free. So by using solar power, schools can save money on energy costs. 陽(yáng)光是一種可再生能源，這意味著它不會(huì)耗盡。太陽(yáng)能電池板不會(huì)損害環(huán)境。而且，陽(yáng)光是自由的。因此，利用太陽(yáng)能，學(xué)�？梢怨�(jié)省能源成本。可知，在漢語(yǔ)中，帶下劃線的，是可再生的意思，故選C。

【題目】Clothes Donation (捐贈(zèng)) Box

Have you ever put your old clothes into the donation box in your neighborhood? If not, you can do it right now because the clothes donation is becoming popular in Hefei.

“From time to time, my mother clears out the clothes which I no longer wear. You know, we teenagers are growing fast. I think it’s a good way to help others.” Lin Tao, a junior student says.

“I often pick out some of my clothes which are out of style after going shopping. Then I’ll put them into the donation box.” Miss Li, a pretty young lady says.

“That seems like a good idea. Some clothes in the box are quite new. People can either wear them or use them to make things such as handbags and pencil cases.” Mrs. Wang, an old woman says, “Sometimes I also look through the box for some nice clothes.”

However, there are some problems along with clothes donation. Recently, a reporter from Focus on the City has made a survey. Here are the results:

◆The box is full of clothes in a short time. There is no more room for people to give away clothes.

◆Some people sell the clothes in the donation box for making money instead of wearing them.

◆Some communities set the box in unsuitable (不合適的) places. So there are few clothes in it.

◆Many clothes are too old.

“What’s worse,” one of the workers in a community added, “We quite often see people throw rubbish into the box when they pass by. We’ve tried to stop them several times but failed. It has been the most serious problems since we set the box.”

In order to make the donation box work in an efficient (有效的) way, our government is taking action. Clothes donation will be better-organized and it’ll be more convenient for people in need to take the clothes away.

【1】Miss Li gives away her clothes because _____.

A. her clothes are out of styleB. her mother clears out her clothes

【2】All the problems about the donation box are included EXCEPT _____.

A. there’s no more room for people to donate clothes

B. people choose unsuitable places to set the box

C. sometimes the box is broken by someone

D. the clothes in the box are too old

【3】The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 means ______.

A. the clothes donation boxesB. the old people

C. handbags and pencil casesD. some clothes in the box

【4】We can infer from the passage that ______.

A. the clothes donation will be better-organized to help donators and people in need.

B. the clothes donation becomes less popular than before because of serious problems

C. the clothes donation can prevent some girls from wearing clothes that are out of style

D. the clothes donation gives the traders a good idea to sell old clothes for making money
