In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins.People in California love to talk about “zero-emissions(排放) vehicles”, but people in California seem to be cluel

12、ess about where electricity comes from. Power plants mostly use fire to make it. Aside from the new folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators(發(fā)電機(jī)). Generators are fueled by something-usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plan

13、ts. There are a few wind farms and geothermal plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.In other words, those zero-emissions cars are likely coal-burning cars. Its just because the coal is burned somewhere else, it looks clean. It is not. Its as if the California Gree

14、ns 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 t

15、he form of wasted heatat the generator, through the transmission lines, etc.A gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas wont get you nearly as farso electric cars burn more fuel than gasoline-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from nuke

16、s or geothermal, or hydro or wind 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 final

17、ly, 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 too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.1、What does “clueless” mean

22、ause we get electricity mainly by burning something22（8分） People have different ways of dealing with a common cold. Some take over-the- counter(非處方的) medicines such as aspirin while others try popular home remedies(治療)like herbal tea or chicken soup. Yet here is the tough truth about the common cold

23、: nothing really cures it.So why do people sometimes believe that their remedies work? According to James Taylor, professor at the University of Washington, colds usually go away on their own in about a week, improving a little each day after symptoms peak, so its easy to believe its medicine rather

24、 than time that deserves the credit, USA Today reported.It still seems hard to believe that we can deal with more serious diseases yet are powerless against something so common as a cold. Recently, scientists came closer to figuring out why. To understand it, you first need to know how antiviral(抗病毒

25、的) drugs work. They attack the virus by attaching to and changing the surface structures of the virus. To do that, the drug must fit and lock into the virus like the right piece of a jigsaw(拼圖), which means scientists have to identify the virus and build a 3-D model to study its surface before they

26、can design an antiviral drug that is effective enough.The two cold viruses that scientists had long known about were rhinovirus(鼻病毒) A and BBut they didnt find out about the existence of a third virus, rhinovirus C, until 2006. All three of them contribute to the common cold, but drugs that work wel

27、l against rhinovirus A and B have little effect when used against C“This explains most of the previous failures of drug trials against rhinovirus,” study leader Professor Ann Palmenberg at University of Wisconsin-Madison, US, told Science Daily.Now, more than 10 years after the discovery of rhinovir

28、us C, scientists have finally built a highly-detailed 3-D model of the virus, showing that the surface of the virus is, as expected, different from that of other cold viruses.With the model in hand, hopefully a real cure for a common cold is on its way. Soon, we may no longer have to waste our money

29、 on medicines that dont really work.1、What does the author think of popular remedies for a common cold?AThey are quite effective.BThey are slightly helpful.CThey actually have no effect.DThey still need to be improved.2、How do antiviral drugs work?ABy breaking up cold viruses directly.BBy changing t

36、zheimers (老年癡呆). Education plays a key role in lifelong memory performance and risk for mental disorder, and its well documented that those with a college degree possess a cognitive（認(rèn)知的） advantage over their less educated counterparts in middle and old age. Now, a large national study from Brandeis

37、University published in the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry shows that those with less schooling can significantly make up for poorer education by frequently engaging in mental exercises such as word games, puzzles, reading, and lectures. “The lifelong benefits of higher education for memor

38、y in later life are quite impressive, but we do not clearly understand how and why these effects last so long,” said lead author Margie Lachman, a psychologist. She suggested that higher education may encourage lifelong interest in cognitive efforts, while those with less education may not engage as

39、 frequently in mental exercises that help keep the memory agile (敏捷地). But education early in adulthood does not appear to be the only route to maintain your memory. The study found that intellectual activities undertaken regularly made a difference. “Among individuals with low education, those who

40、are engaged in reading, writing, attending lectures, doing word games or puzzles once a week or more had memory scores similar to people with more education,” said Lachman. The study, called Midlife in the United States, assessed 3,343 men and women between the ages of 32 and 84 with a mean age of 5

41、6 years. Almost 40 percent of the participants had at least a 4-year college degree. The researchers evaluated how the participants performed in two cognitive areas, verbal memory and executive function - brain processes involved in planning, abstract thinking and cognitive flexibility. Participants

42、 were given a battery of tests, including tests of verbal fluency, word recall, and backward counting. As expected, those with higher education said they engaged in cognitive activities more often and also did better on the memory tests, but some with lower education also did well, explained Lachman

43、. “The findings are promising because they suggest there may be ways to level the playing field for those with lower educational achievement, and protect those at greatest risk for memory declines,” said Lachman. “Although we can not rule out the possibility that those who have better memories are t

44、he ones who take on more activities, the evidence is consistent with cognitive plasticity (可塑性), and suggests some degree of personal control over cognitive functioning in adulthood by adopting an intellectually active lifestyle.”1、What is the text mainly about?AHigher education has a better cogniti

49、aking, dysfunctional (怪異的) relationship with clothes. Their main problem is that they have a desperate need for rules, and are unable to get along without them. This helps to explain why they have an international reputation for dressing in general very badly, but with specific areas of excellence,

50、such as high-class mens suits, ceremonial costumes, and innovative (革新的) street fashion. In other words, we English dress best when we are “in uniform”.You may be surprised that I am including “innovative street fashion” in the category of the uniform. Surely the parrot-haired punks (朋克搖滾樂(lè)迷) or the

51、Victorian vampire goths are being original, not following rules? Its true that they all look different and eccentric (古怪的) but in fact they all look eccentric exactly in the same way. They are wearing a uniform. The only truly eccentric dresser in this country is the Queen, who pays no attention to

52、fashion and continues to wear what she likes, a kind of 1950s fashion, with no regard for anyone elses opinion. However, it is true that the styles invented by young English people are much more eccentric than any other nations street fashion. We may not be individually eccentric, apart from the Que

53、en, but we have a sort of collective eccentricity, and ye appreciate originality in dress even if we do not individually have it.Another “rule” of behavior I had discovered was that it is very important for the English not to take themselves too seriously, to be able to laugh at themselves. However,

54、 it is well known that most teenagers tend to take themselves a bit too seriously.The goths, in their scary black costumes, certainly look as if they are taking themselves seriously. But when I got into conversation with them, I discovered that they too had a sense of humor. I was once chatting to a

55、 goth in the full vampire costumewith a white face, deep purple lipstick, and black parrot-hair. I saw he was also wearing a T-shirt with “Goth”. “Why are you wearing that?” I asked. “In case you dont realize Im a goth.” he answered, pretending to be serious. We both burst out laughing.1、What can we

56、 know about the English people?AThey need rules to dress well. BThey are in need of uniforms.CThey are creative in general. DThey lead the world trend.2、Who is individually eccentric in dressing?AA high-class man. BA parrot-haired punk.CThe Queen. DThe fashion innovator.3、Which of the following can
