dirty, they might even be dirtier than their gasolinepowered cousins. people in california love to talk about “zeroemissions (零排放) vehicles”， but people in california seem to be_clueless_about where electricity comes from. power plants most all use fire to make it. apart from the few people who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators (发电机). generators are fueled by something usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. there are a few wind farms and geothermal (地热) plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something. in other words, those “zeroemissions” cars are likely coalburning cars. because the coal is burned somewhere else, it looks clean. it is not true. its as if the california greens are covering their eyes “if i cant see it, its not happening.” gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. but when you take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc. a gallon of gas may drive your car 25 miles. but the electricity you get from that gallon of gas wont get you nearly as far, so electric cars burn more fuel than gasolinepowered ones. if our electricity came mostly from wind or geothermal, or solar, then an electric car truly would be clean. but for political, technical, and economic reasons, we dont use much of those energy sources.in addition, electric cars batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill. and finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. when its a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place. nature is very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.1whats the main idea of the passage?aelectric cars arent actually clean.belectric cars are zeroemissions vehicles.czeroemissions vehicles are popular.dgasolinepowered cars are more efficient.2which of the following words can

disorders, according to a recent study carried out by researchers at vanderbilt university in tennessee.researchers raised baby mice from birth to weaning (断奶) in either “summer” light cycles of 16 hours of light and 8 hours of dark or “winter” cycles of 8 hours of light and 16 hours of dark. a third group experienced 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark a day.then half the winter mice stayed in a winter cycle, while half switched to a summer schedule. the summer mice were similarly split. the mice raised in equal periods of light and dark were split into three groups, one of which stayed on the 12hour schedule, one of which joined the winter group, and one of which joined the summer group.after 28 days, it turns out the summerborn mice behaved the same whether they stayed on the summer cycle or switched to winter. but among the winterborn mice, those stayed in winter kept their previous schedule, while those that switched to summer stayed active for an extra hour and a half, which indicates that mice born and weaned in a winter light cycle showed dramatic disruptions in their biological clocks.the finding is the first of its kind in mammals, and it could explain why people born in winter are at higher risk for mental health disorders including bipolar depression, schizophrenia and seasonal affective disorder.“we know that the biological clock regulates mood in humans，”said study researcher mcmahon. “if the mechanism (机制) similar to the one that we found in mice operates in humans, then it could not only have an effect on a number of behavioral disorders, but also have a more general effect on personality.”6how many groups of mice are there finally in all in the experiment?afour. bfive.csix. dseven.7whats the main idea of the text?athe biological clock

案课时跟踪检测(三十).1.选d说话人是在电话投诉销售员，答话人自然应该首先了解发生了什么事情。前三项分别表示“你一定是在开玩笑！”“太令人震惊了！”“为什么不呢？”，都不符合常识。2选don the whole“大体上；基本上”；success在此表示“成功的事”，是可数名词，其前用a。3选c在this is the first time that .句型中，从句常用现在完成时，且appoint与woman之间为动宾关系，故选c项。4选d此题考查强调句型it is .that .。本句中强调了状语only when you nearly lose someone。5选d考查动词词义辨析。句意：他的精彩表演吸引了中国各个年龄段和各个阶层的人们，同时他也深受全世界人们的欢迎。appear“出现”；suit“适合”；fit“合适”；appeal“吸引”。6选a分析句子结构可知，主句为一个祈使句，句中缺少谓语动词，故选动词原形vary。7选c考查固定结构。句意：这名男孩正要跳入河中，这时他发现一条鲶鱼在河里游。be about to do .when .意为“正要干某事就在这时”。8选cbuild up ones confidence “树立某人的信心”。bring up“抚养”；take up“从事”；break up“打碎；分裂；解体”。9选c句意：上周一我应邀给新生进行了一次测试来评估一下他们的英语水平。此处用动词不定式作后置定语，表示目的。10选a考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，这里缺少主语，选项中只有a项comparing是动名词形式，可以作主语，由此选a项。11选ddont panic“不要惊慌”。afraid为形容词；frighten和terrify是及物动词。12选c句意：众所周知，蒙特利尔是世界上说法语的第二大城市，巴黎是第一大城市。此题是“逻辑主语(名词)现在分词短语”式的独立主格结构。现在分词的逻辑主语与句子主语montreal不一致。13选d句意：有许多英语教学方法，但它们不一定都对中国学生同样有效。a项应说成a variety of; b项意为“准确的；精确的”； c项意为“原始的”； d项意为“不同的；多种多样的”。由句意可知选d项。14选c考查非谓语动词。根据the old man 与wait之间的关系，应该选择v.ing形式，再根据句意得知他是先“wait”后才“realize”。所以先发生的动作应该用完成式having waited。1
