　　He said industrilized nations and China are dealing with different issues to combat climate change. The United Kingdom，for example，is concerned about transport，buildings and new energy in reducing carbon emmissions. For China，the most urgent task is how to realize new­type of industrilization and avoid mistakes that other countries made when they industrilized.

　　As such，overseas exhibitors at this year's fair are showing ways to help China achieve low carbon emissions in the industrial section.

　　Swiss power and automation technology group ABB called for a stronger focus on product life­cycle assesment，or LCA，which is used to study the environmental impact of a product from the research and manufaturing stage through its usage and recycling.

　　Tobias Becker，head of ABB's process automation division for North Asia and China，said LCA is an effective tool in helping manufacturing industries to reduce carbon emissions.

　　LCA shows that industrial customers should focus on a product's environmental impact throughout its life­cycle instead of on its initial investment or ready­to­use stage. For example，a motor's initial investment accounts for only 3 percent of its life­cycle cost，while 94 percent goes to fuel consumption and the rest to maintenance.

　　Richard Hausmann，North East Asia CEO of Siemens，said，“The color of future industrilization is green.”

　　The Germany Company recently announces that it wants to receive orders worth more than 6 billion Euros (US 8.8 billion) for intelligent net power networks，Smart Grid，over the next five years. Siemens has set a 20 per cent market share target for the global smart grid business.

　　A smart grid delivers electricity from suppliers to consumers using digital technology，advanced sensors specialized computers that save energy，reduce costs and increase reliability. The Uni ted States and China are considered the two biggest markets for smart grid.

　　A.Fall behind B.Be superior to

　　A.LCA is used to study the impact on a product.

　　B.LCA can help manufacturing industries decrease carbon release a lot.

　　C.LCA shows industrial customers should focus on a product's environmental influence on its initial investment.

　　D.LCA was one of the exhibitions at this year's fair.

　　1.A　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第二段“China doesn't lag developed nations in terms of energy saving and green economy，...”可知，就節(jié)能和綠色經(jīng)濟(jì)方面，中國并不落后于發(fā)達(dá)國家，所以選擇A項(xiàng)。

　　2.B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第七段內(nèi)容可知，LCA可以幫助生產(chǎn)企業(yè)減少碳的排放，所以B項(xiàng)正確。

　　3.D　推理判斷題。由第十一段可知，“智能電網(wǎng)”不僅可以節(jié)能，降低成本，而且還能提高可靠性。美國和中國將成為智能電網(wǎng)最大的市場。綜上所述可知，西門子推出的智能電網(wǎng)計(jì)劃得以實(shí)現(xiàn)的可能性很大。D項(xiàng)正確。

　　4.D　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。最后一段內(nèi)容沒有提及“智能電網(wǎng)”的大小和規(guī)模，所以選擇D項(xiàng)。

　　5.B　主旨大意題。文章第一段表明發(fā)展中國家和發(fā)達(dá)國家就尋求低碳經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展上可以互相借鑒，這是他們共同的目標(biāo)。由此可知B項(xiàng)符合。

　　高考英語閱讀理解特訓(xùn)2：

　　Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(繞行路) in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.

　　For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents' home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement(限制) and have strong opinions about everything.

　　Road trips felt risky，so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.

　　But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me.

　　That is how I f ound myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. They'd get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the c old air.

　　We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons(見識(shí)).

　　We eventually arrived at my parents' doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.

　　I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.

　　Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of journey—and the best part of yourself.

　　A.It was less tiring.

　　B.It would be faster and safer.

　　C.Her kids would feel less confined.

　　D.She felt better with other drivers nearby.

　　47.The author stopped regularly on the country roads to ________.

　　A.relax in the fresh air

　　D.let the kids play with Banner

　　48.What does the author discover from the trip according to Paragraph 6?

　　A.Freeways are where beauty hides.

　　B.Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life.

　　C.Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one's health.

　　D.One should follow side roads to watch wild animals.

　　49.Why did the author ask the kids to get out of the car on their way back home?

　　A.To give herself some time to read.

　　B.To order some food for them.

　　C.To play a game with them.

　　D.To let them cool down.

　　50.What could be the best title for the passage?

　　A.Charm of the Detour

　　閱讀理解特訓(xùn)答案：

　　本文是一篇記敘文。主要通過作者的經(jīng)歷向讀者解釋了一個(gè)生活哲理：在實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)的過程中通常我們要多繞一些路。在路上比我們直接到達(dá)目的地要收獲更多的東西。

　　46.B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy…”可知作者在回父母家的路上，為了早點(diǎn)到達(dá)而選擇了高速，而一個(gè)女性單獨(dú)帶著四個(gè)孩子走高速也是為了安全。故選 B。

　　47.C　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段第三句“We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him.”可知，作者停下來是為了照顧小羊羔Banner。故選C。

　　48.B　推理判斷題。根據(jù)作者在第六段的描述可知，作者沿著鄉(xiāng)村小路走時(shí)，接近自然，既欣賞了美麗的景色，也為自己的旅程增加了快樂。故選B。

　　49.D　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第八段“…everyone started quarreling…ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead.”可知，孩子們?cè)谲嚿蠣幊称饋恚髡呙钏麄兿萝嚕咧デ懊嬲易髡摺＿@樣做的目的是讓孩子們冷靜下來。故選D。

　　50.A　主旨大意題。作者在第一段借著名詩人William Stafford的話來揭示本文的主題：the detour。再根據(jù)下文的描述，展示了作者在鄉(xiāng)村的路上獲得的快樂，由此可知本文的題目既要有detour又要有與joy相關(guān)的詞匯，選項(xiàng)A正好符合。
