1.Think about the different ways that people use the wind.You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat.Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources,as well as one of the oldest.Something shows that windmills(風(fēng)車) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC.They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s,when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.
For many centuries,people used windmills to make wheat into flour(面粉) or get water from deep underground.When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s,people living in faraway areas began to use them to produce electricity.This allowed them to have electric lights and radio.However,by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States,windmills were hardly used.
During the 1970s,people started becoming more cared about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity.People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would run out one day.Then,wind was rediscovered,though it means higher costs.Today,there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind

分析 本文介紹了風(fēng)能及風(fēng)能運用的情況.在能源短缺的今天,作為最為潔凈、豐富的風(fēng)能,一定會對我們的生活作出極大的貢獻(xiàn).
解答 1.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)Something shows that windmills(風(fēng)車) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC.可知古伊朗早在公元前七世紀(jì)開始使用風(fēng)車,故答案為:C.
2.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)For many centuries,people used windmills to make wheat into flour(面粉) or get water from deep underground可知許多世紀(jì)以來,人們使用風(fēng)車把小麥磨成面粉或把水從地下深處抽出來,故答案為:A.
3.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s,people living in faraway areas began to use them to produce electricity.可知十九世紀(jì)末有了電之后,人們又用其發(fā)電,故答案為:D.
4.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)During the 1970s,people started becoming more cared about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity.可知二十世紀(jì)七十年代人們意識到燒煤和氣發(fā)電會污染環(huán)境,所以應(yīng)該多用風(fēng)能,故答案為:C.
5.A標(biāo)題歸納題.根據(jù)Think about the different ways that people use the wind及文章內(nèi)容可知本文介紹了風(fēng)能及風(fēng)能運用的情況,故答案為:A.
點評 做題時要在理解好文意的基礎(chǔ)上,與題目有機的結(jié)合,從文章中找到相關(guān)細(xì)節(jié)性的句子與選項細(xì)細(xì)比對,進(jìn)行選擇或推理判斷,找出符合文章內(nèi)容的正確答案.做題注意靈活,有時可采用排除法或直選法確定出最終答案.
