哈尔滨四市20xx年高中毕业班第一次联合考试(编辑修改稿)内容摘要：

or the Nuclear Energy Advisory Group summarized the reasons for choosing nuclear energy, the benefits it would bring, and then went on to talk about matters of safety. Atmospheric pollution of the area around the city is at present very high. There is also the problem of acid rain, which is responsible for widespread damage to nearby forests and lakes, as well as to the city39。 s historic buildings. It was pointed out that nuclear energy does not add to the greenhouse effort or produce acid rain, so using nuclear energy would result in a much cleaner environment. It was mentioned that were we to use nuclear energy, as an energy source the cost of electrcity would decrease significantly. Apparently, once the power station was in operation, we sould expect reductions in the cost of electrcity of up to 30%. Another benefit to the munity would be the creation of several hundred jobs. The spokesman for the NEAG was eager to point out that fears of possible dangers to health or to the environment were unfounded. She assured us that very strict safety measures would be taken and there would be no question of nuclear waste being dumped near the city or in the surrounding area. The NEAG rated out the possibility of an accident ever happening. 60. O ne of the r e a s ons f or building a nuc le a r pow e r s ta tion ne a r the c ity is to ________. A. limit atmospheric pollution B. keep acid rain from the city C. save the historic buildings D. protect the environment 61. From the text we know that the cost of electricity would be reduced________. A. by using nuclear energy B. with more jobs given C. by adding more energy sources D. without the power station 62. What do you think the NEAG is from the text? A. A magazine. B. An anization. C. A business center. D. A position. 63. People have no reason to worry about the potential accident because________. A. dangers to health never exist B. nuclear waste was gone C. strict safety measures are taken D. possible fears are unfounded C Although earliest men had little diffculty in judging quantities by naming individual mem bers or items of a group, they weren39。 t, as such, able to count them and would be unable to make the connection between saying three leaves and three apples. Anthropologists(人类学家 )say that counting methods were extremely basic, with words for“one”and“two”and then a word which just meant“ many” ( much the same as today we talk about“ crowds” of people, “herds” of animals and“ handfuls” of sweets. ) As recently as 1972, a tribe of cave dwellers in the Philippines couldn39。 t answer the question“ How many people are there in your tribe?”, although they could individually list all 24 members of their group. And one tribe who lives on the edge of the Amazon jungle, even today, has no system of numbers, simply a verb meaning“to be two alike”. Some languages still remain some difference between one, two and many, in what is grammatically known as the“dual form”, in Arabic for example“ bait” means“house” and “baiten”means“two house”. Similar forms exist in the pronoun“you”, where there is a distinction(区别 )between you singular, you two and you many. The earliest counting system, binary, was also based on this one two system. Hands and fingers were used to express both numbers and measurements, and the fact that we have ten fingers probably answers the development of the decimal system(十进制 ), though this doesn39。 t explain the English and American aversion(厌恶 )to such a system(one theory is that they originally had 12 fingers! ) The actual writing of numbers progresses from using notch(刻痕计数 )through to symbols. The Arabic system of numbers is now the most widely used, with Roman numerals being for more specialized use. 64. What does the text mainly tell us? A. The origin of counting. B. The way of counting. C. The development of counting. D. The counting and measurement. 65. From the text we know that until now some tribes have been unable to________. A. judge quantities by naming individual members B. know how to count in numbers C. tell their members from those in the other tribes D. answer the easy questions about leaves and apples 66. The two examples given in the text to show what is grammatically known as the“dual form”are________. A. English and Arabic B. house and pronoun C. similar forms D. baiten and singular 67. The earliest way to count numbers is to use________. A. hands and fingers B. Arabic system C. Roman numerals D. notches D Although ing is very convenient, there are a number of problems to be aware of. For example, many business people receive more than 100 s every day. Because they also must take telephone calls, attend meetings, write reports and so on, they may not be able to spend much time reading and replying to s. It is necessary to keep your s short and to the point. Make sure that you have a suitable heading in the subject line so that the reader will want to read your message. Many s are deleted(删掉 )unread because of lack time. Make sure that you have given all the time and place of a meeting. Do answer s immediately and exactly. If you can not give the information requested, then reply with “Thanks for your message. I39。 ll get back to you asap. ”Then make sure that you do! Check your message carefully before sending. Use the subject line to indicate what the message is about and then do not repeat yourself in the text. Because s already have the person39。 s name in the heading, it is not necessary to start your message with“Dear……” Although language in s is often quite informal, writing in sentences and correct use of grammar and punctuation (标点 ), including capital letters, is important. For example, “the meeting in harbin on Monday。
