In some you can even build your own solar panels, although the amount that you can effectively DIY home solar depe

11、nds on how much you want to power. Making your own solar panel is a time-consuming process and requires some electrical skills. However, it can also be very regardingleaning to build your own panel is a great way to understand how electricity in generated.Before you can build your own solar panels,

12、you first need to understand how solar cells generate electricity. Once youve bought individual solar cells (they can be purchased online), the basic process for building your own solar panel goes like this: Prepare the backing for your panel. Many DIY solar panel builders prefer to use a wooden boa

13、rd as the base for their solar cells.Youll need to drill holes m the board so that the wires for each cell can pass through. Wire your solar cells together. This requires some experience for electrical work. Use a soldering iron (烙铁) to attach wire to the solar cells and then link each of the cells

14、together. Attach cells to your backing. If possible, attach each solar cell to the backing individually. This makes it easier to replace a single cell in the event that becomes damaged or is not operating properly.At this point you have a functional solar panel that can produce electricity when the

15、sun shines. However, a solar panel by itself is not useful. If you are trying to generate electricity to power devices in your home, you need to pair your panel with inverter (转换器) that will turn direct current (DC) power from the sun into alternating current (AC) power used in most electronic devic

16、es.1、What does the author think of building DIY solar panel in paragraph 1?AIt is easy. BIt is necessary.CIt is common. DIt is worthwhile.2、Whats the first step of building your own solar panel?AMaster the advanced knowledge of science.BBuy individual solar cells.CPrepare the backing for your panel.

18、lls have advantages over those without in DIY solar panels.BA functional solar panel can give power to your home devices directly.CHow to pair an inverter depends on how much power you want to power.DA wooden board is a must for your own solar panels.22（8分）When I was in college, I spent a semester s

19、tudying abroad at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland. In my brief time there, I came to love Scotland for its local culture, food and scenery.You might think, “Scotland isnt so different from the US; they still speak English there!” But when I stepped off the plane, I was greeted by

20、a gruff-voiced(声音粗哑的) lady at customs. “Youll be coming from America, then?” She asked me, and I nodded. “But all of our guys are leaving Glasgow for the States!” Her thick Scottish English and sense of humor were obvious right away. I was not in the US any more, where customs agents never joke arou

21、nd.As I settled in at the university, I could feel myself getting used to hearingand even speakingthe Scottish English of my customs agent. In classroom discussions, people would say “em” when they couldnt think of what to say instead of “um”, which was great fun. After the first few weeks, I stoppe

22、d chuckling about this. Strathclyde students stayed up late into the night, running around campus and shouting, “Go! Lets go, lets go, lets go curse word Glasgow!” Pretty soon, I was no longer saying “thanks” at the supermarketinstead, I said “cheers”.My Scottish friends drank whiskey and ate haggis

23、(羊杂碎布丁). I drank plenty of whiskey but felt ashamed to admit that I wasnt brave enough to try haggis. Scottish bakeries usually sell bridies (肉馅饼). Add a cup of teathough I usually Americanized it by choosing coffee insteadand a bridie makes for a delicious breakfast.Every time I took a train anywhe

24、re in Scotland, Id gaze out at the rolling hills and wonder if grass was greener than anywhere else in the world. Then Id reflect that theres a reason this country was the birthplace of golf.1、What did the author think of the lady at customs?AImpolite. BFriendly.CSerious. DCalm.2、Which of the follow

25、ing can replace the underlined word “chuckling” in Paragraph 3?ATalking loudly. BComparing.CLaughing quietly. DHearing.3、What is the authors purpose in writing the text?ATo explain why Scotland was famous for golf.BTo promote the development of Scottish catering trade.CTo introduce different pronunc

26、iations of “em”and “um”.DTo share his experiences in Scotland as an exchange student.23（8分） “Be afraid. Be very afraid,” says a character in The Fly, a horror film about a man who turns into an enormous insect. It captures the unease and disgust people often feel for the kingdom of cockroaches, Zika

27、-carrying mosquitoes and creepy crawlies of all kinds. However, ecologists increasingly see the insect world as something to be frightened for, not frightened of. In the past two years, scores of scientific studies have suggested that trillions of murmuring, droning, honeybees, butterflies and beetl

28、es are dying off. “If all mankind were to disappear”, wrote E.O.Wilson, a respectable entomologist, “the world would regenerate If insects were to vanish, the environment would collapse into chaos.”Most of the studies describe declines of 50% and more over decades in different measures of insect hea

29、lth. The immediate reaction is shock. Insects enable plants to reproduce, through pollination (授粉), and are food for other animals, so a collapse in their numbers would be catastrophic.But a second look leads to a different assessment. Rather than causing a panic, the studies should act as a timely

30、warning and a reason to take precautions. That is because the worst fears are unproven. There are no studies at all of wild insect numbers in most of the world. Reliable data are too scarce to declare a global emergency.Moreover, where the evidence does show a collapsein Europe and Americaagricultur

31、al and rural ecosystems are holding up. Farm production still remains high. As some insect species die out, others seem to be moving into the niches (生态位) they have left, keeping ecosystems going, although with less biodiversity than before. It is hard to argue that insect decline is yet causing sig

32、nificant economic damage.But there are complications. Agricultural productivity is not the only measure of environmental health. Animals have value, independent of any direct economic contribution they may make. The more species make up an ecosystem, the more stable it is likely to be. The extinctio

33、n of a few insect species among so many might not make a big difference. The loss of hundreds of thousands would.And the scale of the observed decline raises doubts about how long ecosystems can remain resilient (能复原的). An experiment in which researchers gradually pulled out insect pollinators from

34、fields found that plant diversity held up well until about 90% of insects had been removed. Then it collapsed. Given the lack of data, it is impossible to know how close Europe and America are to an ecosystem collapse. But it would be reckless to find out by actually triggering one.1、What does the u

35、nderlined sentence in the first paragraph imply?AEcologists have long been afraid of those disgusting insects.BEcologists are worried about the disappearance of some insects.CEcologists have already got rid of the prejudiced feeling about insects.DEcologists are respectful of the insects ability to

36、regenerate themselves.2、What conclusion can we draw from the studies conducted in the past 2 years?AThough there is a decline in the number of insects, we still have the reason to be optimistic.BBiodiversity can cause immediate damage so that we should take precautions right away.CData collected fro

37、m all over the world is convincing to prove our environment is at risk.DThe consequence of decreasing biodiversity may be more serious than we can imagine.3、What is the purpose of writing the passage?ATo show the magical power of our mother nature.BTo analyze why insects are on the edge of extinctio

38、n.CTo draw peoples attention to the decreasing insects.DTo urge the scientists to collect more data about insects.24（8分） My wife, daughter, and I moved into our home nine years ago and we spent a lot of time and energy in the yard to get it looking like the way it does today. We live on a corner, hi

39、gher than street level, and the entire side of the yard is surrounded by a professionally built rock wall. The front of the house though is another story because instead of a wall along the sidewalk, the rocks appear to be just thrown up onto the dirt as if someone were in a hurry to finish.We did t

40、he best we could with what we had to work with and called this area our “rock garden”. Whenever we had leftover flowers or plants, Denise or I would stick them out front, just to bring some color to the area. We would do all of the yard work on our own, even the tiring weed-pulling.Last summer I had

41、 reached the end of the rock garden and found a tiny little plant that I could not immediately identify, I knew I didnt plant it and Denise claimed that she didnt either. We decided to let it continue growing until we could figure out what it was.Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the mystery

42、 plant, it appeared to be a Sunflower with a tall skinny stalk（茎，杆）and only one head on it. I decided to baby it along and weed around it. As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The Sunflower had not started where I saw the stalk begin. It actually had begu

43、n under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun.Thats when I realized that if a tiny little Sunflower didnt let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have the ability of doing the same thing. Once our environment begins to see that we believe in ourselves like that litt

44、le Sunflower, we can attain the same nourishment（营养）and growth as well.Stand tall like the Sunflower and be proud of who and what you are and the environment will begin to support you. You will find a way to go under or around your big obstacle in order to reach your desires.1、We can know from the f

48、e farmland outside. The violin shined in the sunlight, and I admitted, unwillingly, that it looked good. But I knew it was a mockery (笑柄) of my failure to find beauty.“What makes a violin beautiful?”I first asked this question as a three-year-old child and now again as a teenager. When I listened to

49、 a violin for the first time, I was so astonished by its beauty that I imagined a fairy living in the wooden frame. But fairies faded when I grew older. I wanted a reasonable answer to the question.I referred to Professor Ruan, my violin teacher, who introduced the violin to me 14 years ago. This 85

50、-year-old man rhapsodized about (热烈赞美) the legend of Antonio Stradivari. “His violins are the most beautiful works human has ever crafted.” “Make a violin with your own hands,” Professor Ruan suggested,“When you play it, youll know.”However, when Professor Ruan introduced to me a violin workshop, wh

51、at I saw was far from my expectation. In front of me was a fat worker, shirtless and sunburned, soon to become my master. What shocked me most was that the “master” knew nearly nothing about music. His rough hands had been tending crops, not instruments, for most of his life.Two months later, standi

52、ng outside the workshop, I was disappointed. Yes, I just finished or copied a Stradivarius violin. But I didnt find beauty in it. Then I remembered Professor Ruans words, “When you play it, youll know.” So I closed my eyes, and focused on where my fingers and strings touched. Music flowed suddenly s

53、o beautifully that for a moment I doubted my own ears. Slowly I opened my eyes, and with surprise found the fairy of my childhood fantasy dancing to my music the two-year-old daughter of the master.Professor Ruan was right. I didnt find beauty until I played music with the violin, because beauty isn

54、t in the instrument itself. Its just here, deep down, in ourselves.1、When he listened to a violin for the first time, what happened to the writer?AHe found the violin looked beautiful.BHe was astonished to see a fairy in the violin.CHe became interested in the violin.DHe began to learn how to play v

55、iolin.2、After consulting Professor Ruan, what did the writer think made a violin beautiful?AThe person who makes the violin.BThe person who plays the violin.CThe appearance of the violin.DThe sound of the violin.3、What did the writer do in the workshop during two months?AHe listened to the legend of

56、 Antonio Stradivari.BHe taught the master knowledge of music.CHe played music with the violin for the daughter of the master.DHe made his own violin with the help of the master.4、Why did the writer feel disappointed when he was outside the workshop?AHe created an ugly-looking violin.BHis master knew

57、 little about music.CHe failed to find beauty in the violin.DHe had to work in a terrible workshop.5、The text mainly tells us that _.Amusic brings beautyBbeauty lies in our heartsCwe should develop a hobbyDteachers are important to students第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选
