音乐陶冶情操，唱歌有益健康，请放开歌喉，纵情歌唱吧！(1）C细节理解题。根据第二段第一句中的内容可知举办该运动的目的是让人们唱歌，享受其中的益处，再结合本段引号中的内容可判断C项正确。（2)C细节理解题。由第三段和第四段的内容可知GrahamWelch认为唱歌可以增加人们的快乐感，减少压力感,增强自尊，故C项符合题意.（3）A猜测词义题。上文提到歌唱可以振奋精神，增强自尊，对各个年龄阶段的人都适用，由此可推断唱歌能够让人“放松”。（4)B推理判断题。第二段最后一句提到耷拉着脸不可能把歌唱好，因为会影响音高，由此可推测当一个人情绪低落时不能把歌唱好。(5)D主旨大意题。文章第一段开门见山地指明了唱歌对健康的益处，下文则比较详细地进行了叙述,所以本文意在倡导大家为健康而纵情歌唱.*＊**＊****＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊**＊＊*＊**＊＊＊*＊*＊＊＊******＊＊＊＊＊**＊＊＊*＊＊**＊＊*＊*＊＊＊结束新闻报道型阅读理解（一)ThecrisisatJapan’sFukushimaDai­Ichinuclearenergycenterhasraisedquestionsaboutthefutureofthenuclearenergyindustry.ArjunMakhijaniispresidentoftheInstituteforEnergyandEnvironmentalResearchintheUnitedStates。HesaysthedisasterinJapanishistoric.Thisweek，thechairmanofAmerica’snuclearagencysaidthereislittlechancethatharmfulradiationfromJapancouldreachtheUnitedStates.NuclearRegulatoryCommissionChairmanGregoryJaczkoalsosaidAmericahasastrongprograminplacetodealwithearthquakethreats。NonewnuclearpowercentershavebeenbuiltintheUnitedStatessince1979。ThatwaswhenAmerica'sworstnuclearaccidenthappenedattheThreeMileIslandcenterinPennsylvania。Theaccidentbegantoturnpublicopinionagainstnuclearenergy。Tosupportmorecleanenergyproduction，theObamagovernmenthasbeenseekingbillionsofdollarsingovernmentloanguaranteestobuildnewcenters。Presently,abouttwentypercentofelectricityintheUnitedStatescomesfromnuclearenergy.Butcriticssaynuclearpoweristoocostlyanddangeroustobeworthfurtherexpansion.GermanprimeministerAngelaMerkelsaidGermanywouldcloseallsevennuclearpowercentersforamomentwhileenergypolicyisreconsidered.TheEuropeanUnionisplanningtotestallcentersinitstwenty。sevenmembernations.Developingnationsarelesswillingtoslownuclearexpansion.Chinasaiditwouldcontinuewithplanstobuildabouttwenty。fivenewnuclearplants。AndIndia，underacooperationagreementwiththeUnitedStates，planstospendbillionsonnewcentersinthecomingyears.Japanhasmadenuclearenergyanationalprioritysincethe1970s。Unlikemanymajoreconomies，Japanimportseightypercentofitsenergy.TheNuclearEnergyInstitutesaidtwenty。ninepercentofJapan'selectricitycamefromnuclearsourcesin2011.Thegovernmentplannedtoincreasethattofortypercentby2017.Nuclearplantssupplyfourteenpercentofglobalelectricity。Nuclearenergyisacleanresource,producingnocarbongases.Butradioactivewasteisaseriousunresolved(未解决的）issue。So_is_the_presence_of_nuclear_power_centers_in_earthquake_areas_like_the_one_near_Bushehr，_Iran.（)6。Whichofthefollowingcountriesistheleastlikelytoexpanditsuseofnuclearenergy？A．China.B．India。C．Iran。D．Germany.（）7。ThegovernmentofJapanintendedtoincreaseitsnuclearenergyin2017by________comparedwith2011。A．29％B．40%C．69%D．11％（)8.WhichofthefollowingstatementsabouttheuseofnuclearpowerintheU．S。isTRUE？A．MostoftheelectricitycomesfromnuclearenergyintheU．S。B．TheObamagovernmentisagainstbuildingnuclearpowerplants.C．Asmallnumberofnuclearpowerplantshavebeenbuiltsince1979.D．AseriousnuclearaccidenthappenedinAmericaattheendofthe1970s.（)9.What’sthemainideaofthispassage？A．ThenuclearcrisisinJapanhasspreadtootherpartsoftheworld。B．Thesituationoftheworld'snuclearpowerdevelopmentafterthecrisisinJapan.C．Japan’snucleardisasterwillslowtheexpansionofnuclearplantsallovertheworld.D．Japan’snucleardisasterwon’taffectthenuclearenergyproductioninothercountries。（)10。Fromthelastsentenceofthepassage，wecanseethewriter’sattitudetowardsbuildinganuclearpowerplantnearBushehr，A．supportiveB．optimisticC．negative D．uncertain(一)本文为新闻。主要报道各国的核能使用状况及相关态度。6．D细节理解题。根据第四段GermanprimeministerAngelaMerkelsaidGermanywouldcloseallsev
