By the year 2050 that number is expected to rise to 3 billion tons. The World Bank estimates that the largest amount of trash today, about 44 percent, is plastic. But we often have to buy packaged goods. And often that packaging is made of plastic.”可知，世界上的城市每年產(chǎn)生大量的垃圾，并且其中最大的垃圾量是塑料，結(jié)合下文可知，作者寫本段目的是為下文提出新的購物模式提供背景信息。故選A。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“Szaky said that Loop is the future of shopping. But it es from an idea of the past.”和第五段“He pared it to the milkman model of the 1950s in the United States. Back then, someone brought milk to your doorstep in glass bottles and then left with empty bottles. These could be cleaned and used again. The result is zerowaste.”可知，Loop購物模式的想法來自于過去送奶工模式，是一種可以杜絕零浪費(fèi)的模式。故選C。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段“Loop is set to launch later this year in three eastern . states, and also in Paris, France and some of the surrounding area. Then Loop plans to expand to the . West Coast, Toronto, Canada and Britain by the end of this year or 2020.”可知，Loop計(jì)劃在2020年前將業(yè)務(wù)擴(kuò)大到加拿大和法國。故選D。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第三段中的“A new environmentallyfriendly shopping model was recently launched at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.”及全文內(nèi)容可知，文章主要介紹美國一家公司推出一種新的零浪費(fèi)購物模式。故選A。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇環(huán)保類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，概括歸納，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 Compared with solar and wind energy, which are booming, tidal (潮汐的) power is a loser in the clean energy petition. 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. Engineers and governments have been toying with the idea since at least 1925. But none of the suggested projects has materialised. Price is one objection. A study thought that tidal energy might cost between ￡216 and ￡368 ($306 521) per MWh of electricity by 2025, pared with ￡58 75 for seagoing wind turbines (輪機(jī)) and ￡55 76 for solar panels. Environmentalists also worry that any plant would change the tides, making life harder for wildlife. 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). But there would be nothing old fashioned about Mr Rainey39。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.The tidal range there is about 15 meters.B.It has the largest tidal range in the world.C.The tidal power station has been built there.D.Its power plant makes life harder for wildlife.（2）What was people39。s initial attitude towards tidal power? ....（3）What are the locks used for? .. wheels. electricity.（4）What39。s the best tittle for the text? invented turbines.39。s tidal power station. power in the River Seven. old idea might be made practical.【答案】 （1）A（2）A（3）B（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，潮汐能發(fā)電站雖然計(jì)劃已久,但由于科學(xué)家的擔(dān)心,很長時(shí)間以來都沒有得以實(shí)現(xiàn)。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(shí)也可大量發(fā)電。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。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?？芍?the mouth of the River Severn最大的特點(diǎn)就是潮汐差很大。故選A。 （2）考查推理判斷。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(duì)潮汐電站的想法漫不經(jīng)心,環(huán)境主義者擔(dān)心它會(huì)給海洋生物帶來危險(xiǎn),所以最初人們對(duì)潮汐發(fā)電站都是不支持的。故選A。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的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
