河北省张家口赤城一中20xx年高考下学期预测模拟卷英语试卷(编辑修改稿)内容摘要：

energy center caused by the terrible earthquake has raised questions about the future of the nuclear energy industry. Arjun is president of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research in the United States. He says the disaster in Japan is historic. This week, the chairman of America’s nuclear agency said there is little chance that harmful radiation(辐射 ) from Japan could reach the United States. Gregory also said America has a strong program in place to deal with earthquake threats. No new nuclear power centers have been built in the United States since 1979. That was when America’s worst nuclear accident happened at the Three Mile Island center in Pennsylvania. The accident began to turn public opinion against nuclear energy. At present, about twenty percent of electricity in the United States es from nuclear energy. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Germany would close seven nuclear powercenters for the time being while energy policy is reconsidered. The European Union is planning to test all centers in its twentyseven member nations. Developing nations are less willing to slow down the development of nuclear. China says it will continue with plans to build about twentyfive new nuclear reactors(核反应堆 ). And India, under a cooperation agreement with the United States, plans to spend billions on new centers in the ing years. Nuclear reactors supply fourteen percent of global electricity. Nuclear energy is a clean resource, producing no carbon gases. But radioactive waste is a serious problem to be solved. So is the presence of nuclear power centers in earthquake areas like the one near Bushehr, lran. 40. We can learn from the text that America ________. A. experienced a terrible nuclear accident 32 years ago B. has a strong program to deal with radiation danger C. depends heavily on nuclear energy to produce electricity D. will check all the reactors before cooperating with India 41. According to the text, which country will be most likely to have a similar disaster? A. German. B. Iran C. India. D. China. 第 5 页 共 10 页 42. How does the author seem to feel about the future of nuclear energy? A. Satisfied. B. Pleased. C. Worried. D. Surprised. 43. The best title of the text is ______. A. Various Opinions on Japan’s Nuclear Disaster B. Japan’s Disaster is Likely to Run Out of Control C. America Shows Great Concern for Japan’s Nuclear Crisis D. Japan’s Disaster Throws Doubt on Nuclear Energy Industry C If cars had wings, they could fly and that just might happen, beginning in 2020. The pany Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to deliver its carplane, the Transition, to customers by the end of 2020. “It’s next ‘wow’ vehicle,” said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh. “Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris don’t fly.” The carplane has wings that unfold for flyinga process the pany says takes one minuteand fold back up for driving. A runway is still required to take off and land. The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies, although it is both. The pany has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations. The pany is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly. They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports: You drive the car to the airport and then you’re good to go. When you land, you hold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive parking fees because you don’t have to store it at an airportyou park it in the garage at home. The carplane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet. It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds, including fuel and passengers. Thrrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under the bad weather instead of flying into marginal(临界的 ) conditions. The Transition’s price tag: $194,000. But there may be additional charges for options like a radio, , a transponder or a GPS. Another option is a fullplane parachute. “If you get into a very awful situation, it is the necessary safety option.” Gersh said. So far, the pany has more than 70 orders with deposits. “We’re working very closely with them, but there are still some remaining steps,” Brown said. 44. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that _________. A. carplanes will be popular in 202046 B. people might drive a carplane in 2020 C. both the Transition and Ferrari can take off and land D. Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts 45. It takes the carplane one minute to _________. A. fold and unfold its wings B. unfold wings for flying C. land in the airport D. meet flying safety。
