But if you did want to build a tidal power station, there are few better sites than the mouth of the River Severn, in Britain. Its tidal range, the difference in depth between high and low tides, of around 15 metres is among the largest in the world.It has the largest tidal range in the world.C.s the best tittle for the text? invented turbines.39。根據(jù)第一段中的Its tidal range, the difference in depth between high and low tides, of around 15 metres is among the largest in the world.它的潮汐差,即最低和最高潮汐的深度差,是大約15米,位居世界首位。根據(jù)第二段中的Engineers and governments have been toying with the idea since at least 1925.和最后一段中的Environmentalists also worry that any plant would change the tides, making life harder for wildlife.可知,工程師對潮汐電站的想法漫不經(jīng)心,環(huán)境主義者擔(dān)心它會給海洋生物帶來危險,所以最初人們對潮汐發(fā)電站都是不支持的。故選B。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇科技類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。 For some time, psychologists have been studying how personality traits affect health and healthrelated choices. Not surprisingly, they have found that people blessed with innate conscientiousness, meaning that they are organized and predictable, typically eat better and live longer than people who are disorderly. They also tend to have immaculate offices.t necessarily innately conscientious. To find out, researchers at the University of Minnesota conducted a series of experiments. In the first experiment, they randomly assigned a group of collegeage students to spend time in two office spaces, one of which was very neat, the other wildly cluttered (亂堆) with papers and other workrelated stuff. The students spent their time filling out questionnaires unrelated to the study. After 10 minutes, they were told they could leave with an apple or a chocolate bar. Those students who sat in the orderly office were twice as likely to choose the apple as those who sat among the mess. those in the tidy office generally chose the classic version. Disorderly environments seem to inspire breaking free of tradition, Dr. Vohs and her coauthors conclude in the study, which can produce fresh insights. The results were something of a surprise, says Dr. Vohs, the leader of the study. Few previous studies found much virtue in disorder. The broken window theory, proposed decades ago, holds that even slight disorder and neglect can encourage indifference and poor discipline.縱觀全文可知,文章主要講Rod Rainey用古老的方法代替?zhèn)鹘y(tǒng)的輪機(jī)進(jìn)行潮汐發(fā)電,打破River Severn不適宜潮汐發(fā)電的舊思想。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。故選A。而名叫Rod Rainey的工程師最近想到了解決問題的辦法,雖然用的是過去的科技,但在輪上做了很大改進(jìn),這樣在保證海洋生物和環(huán)境安全的同時也可大量發(fā)電。Its power plant makes life harder for wildlife.（2）What was people39。s wheels. Thirty metres high and sixty wide, they would be made from ordinary steel. Two hundred and fifty of them, along with the supporting structures, would be floated into place and secured to the seabed, creating a line 15km long. Together, they could supply power at an avenge ate of 4GW. That is about as much as two biggish nuclear power stations would manage. Substituting one of the wheels with a set of locks would provide a shipping channel about twice the width of Panama Canal, permitting upstream ports such as Avonmouth and Cardiff to continue operating.（1）What is special about the mouth of the River Seven? A. An engineer called Rod Rainey thinks he has a way around both problems. He plans to replace the conventional turbines of previous plans with a much older technology. Specifically, he plans to span (橫跨) the river mouth with a line of water wheels. This is a design that dates back to the early days of the Industrial Revolution. Examples can be found fixed to the sides of old watermills (水磨).可知，本文主題是“衛(wèi)星首次收集太空垃圾”。故選B。 （3）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第六段中的“...,said that an operational version of the RemoveDEBRlS technology would cast a net that remains fastened to the main satellite so the
