26、Energy independence．It has a nice ring to it．Doesn't it？If you think so，you're not alone，because energy independence has been the dream of American president for decades，and never more so than in the past few years，when the most recent oil price shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great recession．
"Energy independence" and its rhetorical （修辞的） companion "energy security" are，however，slippery concepts that are rarely though through．What is it we want independence from，exactly？
Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil．But there are reasons that we buy all that old from elsewhere．
The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running．Yes，there is a trickle（涓涓细流）of biofuels available，and more may become available，but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction．
Second，Americans have basically decided that they don't really want to produce all their own oil．They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad．Vast areas of the United States are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental protection．To what degree are Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy production in order to cut back imports？
Third，there are benefits to trade．It allows for economic efficiency，and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do，we benefit．And although you don't read about this much，the United States is also a large exporter of oil products，selling about 2million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90countries．
There is no question that the United States imports a great deal of energy and，in fact，relies on that steady flow to maintain its economy．When that flow is interrupted，we feel the pain in short supplies and higher prices.At the same time，we get massive economic benefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world．
【1】What does the author say about energy independence for America？
A．It sounds very attractive．
B．It ensures national security．
C．It will bring oil prices down．
D．It has long been everyone's dream．．
【2】Why does America rely heavily on oil imports？
A．It wants to expand its storage of crude oil．
B．Its own oil reserves are quickly running out．
C．Its own oil production falls short of demand．
D．It wants to keep its own environment undamaged．
【3】What does the author say about oil trade？
A．It proves profitable to both sides．
B．It improves economic efficiency．
C．It makes for economic development．
D．It saves the cost of oil exploration．
【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A．To justify America’s dependence on oil imports.
B．To arouse Americans’ awareness of the energy crisis.
C．To stress the importance of energy conservation.
D．To explain the increase of international oil trade.
27、More than 30,000 people went to the White House on Monday for the 136th Easter Egg Roll (复活节滚彩蛋). President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama held the event by inviting thousands of kids to color and look for eggs. The theme of the day was “Hop Into Healthy, Swing Into Shape.” It was part of the First Lady’s “Let’s Move!” program to reduce obesity rates (肥胖率) among American kids. Mrs. Obama spoke to young reporters about her goal to get children to eat right and keep moving.
“We are working to make sure that kids born today grow up healthy, learn how to have balanced meals, and get more physical activity into their lives,” she said.
Mrs. Obama said she wants children across the nation to understand that “exercise isn’t just hard work, it’s play. If you’re running around with your dog, you’re getting exercise. If you walk up the stairs, that’s exercise. But if you’re sitting in front of the TV or on a computer game, you’re not exercising.”
The First Lady said that for kids who have balanced meals most of the time, having a special snack, like chocolate, will not hurt. “And if you are active, you can splurge (挥霍) a little more,” she said. Mrs. Obama’s favorite “splurge food” is French fries. But she balances her splurging by exercising almost every day. She loves to play tennis and she practices yoga.
“A lot of kids look up to athletes, and I think it’s important for athletes to share their good habits,” Mrs. Obama said. “Kids aren’t just going to wake up and be LeBron James. He’s practicing and eating right and working out and training. Our athletes can be really good messengers to kids who look up to them — they can say to kids, ‘If you really want to be like me, then you really do need to eat your vegetables.’”

28、There is an old Chinese proverb that states “One generation plants the trees; another gets the shade,” and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. The relationship between a mother and a daughter is sometimes confusing. The relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include a hierarchy (等级) of responsibilities and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.
Marina, 27 years old, said, “I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldn’t consider her my best friend. Best friends don’t pay for your wedding. Best friends don’t remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friends don’t tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesn’t mean that the mother and daughter relationship can’t be very close and satisfying. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common, which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of work and technology, which may bring them even closer together.
Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if for some unfortunate reason they aren’t speaking. Sometimes this is not an equal relationship. Daughters don’t always feel responsible for their mother’s emotional well-being. But mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers always “trump (胜过)” friends.
【1】What does the underlined word “preclude” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．differ.
B．benefit.
C．prevent.
D．change.
【2】What can we learn from what Marina said?
A．Best friends will not spend money on her wedding.
B．Best friends will not remind her of important issues in life.
C．Her mother is wiser on account of her age.
D．Her mother is anything but her best friend.
【3】Why can a mother and a daughter build a closer relationship?
A．Because they share advanced technology with each other.
B．Because they work together to support the whole family.
C．Because they experience the same values and traditions.
D．Because they have common experience in life and work.
【4】What do we know from the text?
A．The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.
B．A mother’s love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.
C．Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother.
D．The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friendship.
【5】What is the text mainly about?
A．How to build a good mother and daughter relationship.
B．A mother-daughter relationship is irreplaceable.
C．Mothers want to be daughters’ friends.
D．A daughter is a mother’s best friend.
29、That’s the norm at Green Bank, West Virginia, where its 143 residents can’t rely on their cellphones or tablets to connect with friends and loved ones because wireless devices are forbidden.
Located within a 13,000-square mile area known as the National Radio Quiet Zone, Green Bank houses the National Astronomy Observatory, which operates the world’s largest radio telescope.
There is a ban on Wi-Fi—wireless Internet service—in Green Bank, along with anything else that can create electromagnetic waves. Officials say the waves could interfere with signals the telescope receives. People can connect with the Internet through telephones or Ethernet cables, but wireless service is not permitted.
Residents say they are happy with their quiet unplugged lifestyle. It allows them to connect in ways that actually matter, said Shelly Chestnut. “You know what? Your cell phone isn’t looking at a person eye-to-eye, or going to their house and speaking and just shaking their hand or giving them a hug and saying ‘How are you today?’” she said.
Some people call the Green Bank Telescope “the GBT”. That is short for “Great Big Thing”. The telescope is searching for radio signals from other planets, among other things. Richard Lynch is one of the scientists who listen for signals from outer space. “All the signals that we find with the telescope so far are just generated by unintelligent stars, galaxies—you know, things in the universe. We haven’t ever found anything from an intelligent civilization.”
For the latest news, people in Green Bank read the local weekly newspaper. When Chestnut needs to look for a phone number, she looks in a phone book. And instead of sending messages on Facebook to her friends and neighbors, she talks to them. In Green Bank, everyone knows each other and communication is almost always face-to-face.
【1】What is the main subject of the text?
A．Atown far away from the intelligent civilizations.
B．AGreat Big Thing in a small American village.
C．An American town without Wi-Fi or mobile phones.
D．An old-fashioned way of life in America.
【2】How did Chestnut think of her life without Wi-Fi?
A．Difficult.
B．Comfortable.
C．Dull.
D．Painful.
【3】What is the GBT used for in Green Bank?
A．Receiving signals from other planets.
B．Communicating with other life in space.
C．Creating and sending electromagnetic waves.
D．Monitoring the zone of silence.
【4】What do we know about the villagers in Green Bank?
A．They connect with their friends on tablets.
B．They search for radio signals from outer space.
C．They read the latest news on Facebook.
D．They have access to the Internet.
