第2题：
What is the 'biggest city in the world? That is, (21) city has the largest population? This seems like (22) question to answer, but actually it isn't.
It's actually rather difficult to say which cities (23) the largest. There are two reasons for this difficulty. First of all, it isn't easy to determine a city's boundaries, that is, where a city ends. Nowadays, nearly all cities have a large (24) area around them. So when we talk about the population of a city, we often mean the population of the whole metropolitan area around the city. That means that it's difficult to determine what the population of a city is because it's difficult to define what a city is.
The second reason that it is difficult to 25 the population of different cities is this: it is almost impossible to get (26) about the population of all cities for the same year. For example, we might get an estimate of New York's population in 1979 and an (27) of Mexico City's population in 1981. So we real ly can't compare the numbers because the information is for (28) different years. And the population of cities changes rather quickly, especially in some cases. For example, the population of Jakarta, Indonesia, may increase by 5% each year, so the population figure will change rather quickly.
So we can say that these are our two (29) for comparing the populations of cities: one, it's difficult to determine the (30) of a city, and two, it is difficult to get accurate information.

第一篇
Putting Plants to Work
Using the power of the sun is nothing new.People have had solar-powered calculators and buildings with
solar panels（太阳能电池板）for decades. But plants are the real experts. They' ve been using sunlight as an
energy source for billions of years.
Cells in the green leaves of plants work like tiny factories to convert sunlight, carbon dioxide（二氧化
碳）,and water into sugars
and starche（淀粉）,stored energy that the piants can use. This conversion
process is called photosynthesis (光合作用）Unfortunately, unless you' re a plant, it's difficult and
expensive to convert sunlight into storable energy. That's why scientists are taking a closer look at exactly
how plants do it.
Some scientists are trying to get plants,or biological cells that act like plants, to work as very small
photosynthesic power stations. For example, Maria Ghirardi of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in
Golden. Cobo.,is working with green algae（水藻）.She's trying to trick them into producing hydrogen
instead of sugars when they perform photosynthesis. Once the researchers can get the algae working efficient-
ly ,the hydrogen that they produce could be used to power fuel cells in cars or to generate electricity.
The algae are grown in narrow-necked glass bottles to produce hydrogen in the lab. During photosynthe-
sis , plants normally make sugars or strchds. "But under certain conditions,a lot of algae are able to use the
sunlight energy not to store starch , but to make hydrogen."Ghirardi says. For example ,algae will produce hy-
drogen in an airfree environment. It' s the oxygen in the air that prevents algae from making hydrogen most of
the time.
Working in an airfree environment, however, is difficult. It's not a practical way to produce cheap
energy. But Ghirardi and her colleagues have discovered that by removing a chemical called sulfate（硫酸盐）
from the environment that the algae grow in, they will make hydrogen instead of sugars,even when air
is present.
Unfortunately, removing the sulfate also makes the algae's cells work very slowly,and not much
hydrogen is produced. Still ,the researchers see this as a first step in their goal to produce hydrogen efficiently
from algae. With more work,they may be able to speed the cells' activity and produce larger quantities
of hydrogen.
The researchers hope that algae will one day be an easy-to-use fuel source. The organisms are cheap to
get and to feed, Ghirardi says,and they can grow almost anywhere:"You can grow them in a reactor, in a
pond. You can grow them in the ocean. There's a lot of flexibility in how you can use these organisms."
A:it is hard to create an airfree environment
B:it is expensive to remove the sulfate from the environment
C:removing the sulfate slows down hydrogen production
D:the algae's cells work slowly if there is no oxygen in the air
文章的第三段说，科学家企图将植物或植物类生物细胞作为微型光合作用能源供应站 来研究，并举例说，他们正在用绿藻进行实验，若成功，绿藻所产生的氢气将可用来为汽车的燃 料电池充电。所以答案是D。
由文章第四段最后两句“…algae will produce hydrogen in an airfree environment.It' s the oxygen in the air that prevents algae from making hydrogen most of the time.（……绿藻在没有空气 的环境下能产生氢气，是空气中的氧气在阻止绿藻制造氢气。）”可知选B。
A、B都不是正确答案，因为短文的第五段、第六段告诉我们，remove the sulfate和work in an airfree environment都是可能的，但问题是两者都有弊端，使氢气的制造不那么容易。C所 述内容就是困难之一：绿藻细胞因为没有了sulfate而减缓工作速度，因此产生不了多少氢气。 D项与第四段末尾所说的“是空气中的氧气在阻止绿藻制造氢气”矛盾。故选C。
根据最后一段Ghirardi所说的话可知，绿藻可以在任何地方生长，而且用途广泛，联系 此段首句可知Ghirardi所说的意在表示绿藻易于广泛应用，有望成为一种好的能源。故选A。 B项未提到，C项“它们将被到处种植”也不是Ghirardi的话的真正意思，他只是说绿藻易于广 泛种植。D项是对文中“feed”一词所在句的错误理解，feed在此意为“养”。第二篇 文章主要讲的是公共土地在美国能源生产方面的重大作用，分别从产量、税收、未开发的传 统能源、替代能源占全国的份额以及能源开发需求等方面进行了介绍。

第9题：
A
Why do plants grow in some places and not in others? Why does some land have so much growing on it，while other land has almost no plants growing on it at all?
To grow plants need several things． One is warmth． In very cold places almost nothing grows． Plants also need water． In very dry parts of the earth only a few unusual plants can grow． That's why dry deserts everywhere are almost not covered by trees or grass．
Plants must also have a place in which to f，ut down their roots and grow． They find it diffi-culr to grow on hard land． The town is built on hard land． The plants here have only the soil found between the cracks of the stones Io grow in．
Another thing plants must have before they can grow is food．
Whar will happen if we try to make things grow on the sandy beach? A few plants，such as beach grass，will grow in sand，L ut most plants won-t． Even if the weather is warm enough．and we water the plants each day． Many of them will die because the sand on this beach has al-most no food for plants．
( )21． According to the passage，plants need _________ things to grow well．
A． two
B． three
C． four
D． five
Ⅲ．21．C【解析】通读全文可知：植物的生长需要4个条件：1．适宜的温度；2．水;3．合适的土壤；4.养分。
第10题：
Plants in Desert
Only special plants can survive the terrible climate of a desert,for these are regions where the annual range of the soil temperature can be over 75℃．Furthermore,during the summer there are few clouds in the sky to protect plants from the sun's ray.Another problem is the fact that there are frequently strong winds that drive small,sharp particles of sand into the plants,tearing and damaging them.The most difficult problem for all forms of plant life,however,is the fact that the entire annual rainfall occurs during a few days or weeks in spring.
Grasses and flowers in desert survive from one year to the next by existing through the long,hot,dry season in the form of seeds.These seeds remain inactive unless the right amount of rain falls.If no rain falls,or if insufficient rain falls,they wait until the next year,or even still the next.Another factor that helps these plants to survive is the fact that their life cycles are short.By the time the water from the spring rains disappears-just a few weeks after it falls-such plants no longer need any.
The perennials（多年生植物）have special features that enable them to survive as plants for several years.Thus,nearly all desert perennials have extensive root systems below ground and a small shoot system above ground.The large root network enables the plant to absorb as much water as possible in short time.
The small shoot system,on the other hand,considerably limits water loss by evaporation（蒸发）.
Another feature of many perennials is that after the rainy season they lose their leaves in preparation for the long,dry season,just as trees in wetter climates lose theirs in preparation for the winter.This reduces their water loss by evaporation during the dry season.Then,in next rainy season,they come fully alive once more,and grow new branches,leaves and flowers,just as the grasses and flowers in desert do.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned
根据线索词“Grasses and flowers”和“see1seeas"，可以很快把第二段第一句确定为答案相关句。这个句子的大意是：沙漠里的花草年复一年以种子的形式度过漫长、炎热，而又干燥的季节。可见题干的说法与原文的说法一致，所以选择A项。
题干的大意是：沙漠里春季的雨水很快会消失，而沙漠里生命周期短的花草能够适应这一环境特点。利用题干中的“life cycles”作为线索词，可以很快把第二段第四、五句确定为答案相关句，这两句话表明，生命周期短能帮助植物在沙漠中存活，因为春季的雨水消失后，这些植物将不再需要雨水。可见题干的说法与原文的说法一致。
本篇文章并未提到冬天里花草最难生存，所以选择C项。
利用题干中的“The shoot system”作为线索词，可以把第三段最后一句确定为答案相关句。这句话表明，茎轴系统极大地限制了蒸发所带来的水分损失，而不是说茎轴系统能减少植物对太阳光线的吸收。可见题干与原文的说法不符。
倒数第二段的主题句是第一句，讲述的主要是沙漠多年生植物能生存的原因。题干表述正确，所以选择A项。
根据题干中的线索词“lose their leaves1 "，不难把最后一段第一、二句确定为答案相关句。这两句话表明，沙漠多年生植物和较湿润地区的树木落叶的原因是一样的，都是为了减少水分的蒸发。
