You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources (來源), as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills (風車) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.For many centuries, people used windmills to grind (磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground when electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.During the 1970s, people started being concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.風能早在公元前七世紀就開始被人們用風車所利用，當人們發(fā)明了電以后，風能被用來發(fā)電，但隨著電的廣泛使用，風車逐漸不被人們使用了。而進入二十世紀七十年代后，人們又逐漸認識到了風能的優(yōu)勢。5．From the text we know that windmills ________.A. were invented by European armiesB. have a history of more than 2,800 yearsC. used to supply power to radio in remote areasD. have rarely been used since electricity was discovered答案：C。細節(jié)理解題。由第一段最后兩句話可知風車首先是在古代伊朗被使用，故排除A項；公元前七世紀到現(xiàn)在應是不足2800年，故排除B項；由第二段當中的第二、三句話可以排除D項，同時也能知道C項是正確的。6．What was a new use for wind power in the late l9th century?A. Sailing a boat. B. Producing electricity.C. Grinding wheat into flour. D. Pumping water from underground.答案：B。細節(jié)理解題。由文章第二段中的第二句話可知“在十九世紀末期人們發(fā)現(xiàn)了電以后，住在偏遠地區(qū)的人們開始用風車發(fā)電”。7．One of the reasons wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that ________.A. wind power is cleanerB. it is one of the oldest power sourcesC. it was cheaper to create energy from windD. the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needs答案：A。主旨大意題。由文章最后一段可知。8．What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A. The advantages of wind power.B. The design of wind power plants.C. The worldwide movement to save energy.D. The global trend towards producing power from wind.答案：D。推理判斷題。文章最后一句話“如今，出現(xiàn)了一個全球化的運動，要通過風能的利用來提供越來越多的電力”，表明作者會就這個話題繼續(xù)展開。C(2011北京卷，C)Students and Technology in the ClassroomI love my Blackberry—it39。s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop puter，as it holds all of my writing and this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these device(設備) and truly municate with others.On occasion，I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom，I have a rule—no laptops, iPads, phones, students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There39。s a bit of truth to students assume that I am anti173。technology. There39。s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations and truly engage plex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between cou
