9．The traditional tent cities at festivals such as Glastonbury may never be the same again．In a victory of green business that is certain to appeal to environmentally-aware music-lovers，a design student is to receive financial support to produce eco-friendly tents made of cardboard that can be recycled after the bands and the crowds have gone home．
Major festivals such as Glastonbury throw away some 10，000abandoned tnts at the end of events each year．For his final year project at the University of the West of England，James Dunlop came up with a material that can be recycled．And to cope with the British summer，the cardboard has been made waterproof．
Taking inspiration from a Japanese architect，who has used cardboard to make big buildings including churches，Mr．Dunlop used cardboard material for his tents，which he called Myhabs．
The design won an award at the annual New Designers Exhibition after Mr．Dunlop graduated from his product design degree and he decided to try to turn it into a business．
To raise money for the idea，he toured the city's private companies which fund new business and found a supporter in the finance group Mint．He introduced his idea to four of Mint's directors and won their support．Mint has committed around￡500，000to Myhabs and taken a share of 30percent in Mr．Dunlop's business．The first Myhabs should be tested at festivals this summer，before being marketed fully next year．
Mr．Dunlop said that the design，which accommodates two people，could have other uses，such as for disaster relief and housing for the London Olympics．
For music events，the cardboard houses will be ordered online and put up at the sites by the Myhabs team before the festival-goers arrive and removed by the company afterwards．They can be personalized and the company will offer reductions on the expense if people agree to sell exterior （外部的） advertising space．
The biggest festivals attract tens of thousands of participants，with Glastonbury having some 150，000 each year．Altogether there are around 100annual music festivals where people camp in the UK．The events are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious．

27．"Eco-friendly tents"in Pararaph 1refer to tentsB．
A．economically desirable           B．favorable to the environment
C．for holding music performances   D．designed for disaster relief
28．Mr．Dunlop established his businessC．
A．independently with an interest-free loan from Mint
B．with the approval of the City's administration
C．in partnership with a finance group
D．with the help of a Japanese architect
29．It is implied in the passage thatC．
A．the weather in the UK is changeable in summer
B．most performances at British festivals are given in the open air
C．the cardboard tents produced by Mr．Dunlop can be user-tailored
D．cardboard tents can be easily put up and removed by users
30．Which of the following would be the best title for the text？D
A．Don't Use Tents Again        B．The Advantages of Tents
C．How to Produce Tents         D．The Development of Recyclable Tents．

分析 本文主要介紹開(kāi)發(fā)和使用可再利用的帳篷．

解答 27-30 BCCD
27．B 詞義猜測(cè)題．根據(jù)第一段最后一句可知，eco-friendly tents是用紙板做，在樂(lè)隊(duì)和人群離開(kāi)回家后，可以重復(fù)使用的，顯然是對(duì)環(huán)境有利的．另外，根據(jù)eco-friendly的構(gòu)成也可猜出其含義為"環(huán)境友好的"，上文environmentally-ware（有環(huán)境意識(shí)的）也有提示作用．故選B．
28．C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第五段內(nèi)容可知，Mr．Dunlop與財(cái)團(tuán)Mint為合作關(guān)系，Mint財(cái)團(tuán)為其MyHabs項(xiàng)目提供50萬(wàn)英鎊的資金支持，Mr．Dunlop提供技術(shù)并負(fù)責(zé)實(shí)施該項(xiàng)目，作為回報(bào)，Mint財(cái)團(tuán)將獲得Mr．Dunlop企業(yè)的30%的股份，故選C．A項(xiàng)獲得Mint的無(wú)息貸款，顯然錯(cuò)．Mr．Dunlop尋求的是the City's private companies 的支持，而非城市管理部門(mén)的批準(zhǔn)，B錯(cuò)．他的創(chuàng)意是受到日本建筑師的啟發(fā)，而非得到其幫助，D錯(cuò)．
29．C 推理判斷題．根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段最后一句"They can be personalized"暗示可以根據(jù)用戶(hù)的要求裁剪式樣．根據(jù)第二段最后一句可推知英國(guó)夏季多雨，但不能推出changeable（易變，多變）的，A錯(cuò)．根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段可知，這種帳篷只能睡兩個(gè)人，顯然不是為搭建露天演出棚所用，只是為那些觀看節(jié)目演出，而又難以承擔(dān)或不愿支付居住高額旅館的年輕（學(xué)生）野外露宿所用，演出應(yīng)不是露天，至少不能推出B正確．根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段首句，這種帳篷可在網(wǎng)上訂購(gòu)，但該公司將派安裝隊(duì)負(fù)責(zé)安裝和拆除，可見(jiàn)安裝和拆除不是很容易，D錯(cuò)．故選C．
30．D 主旨大意題．通讀全文可知，文章講的是開(kāi)發(fā)和使用可再利用的帳篷問(wèn)題．故選D．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 歷史文化類(lèi)閱讀理解文章屬高考常選材料之一．這類(lèi)文章常涉及歷史、文化、法制、宗教等方面的文學(xué)藝術(shù)、發(fā)明創(chuàng)造、文化遺產(chǎn)保護(hù)、宗教與文化、風(fēng)俗與習(xí)慣、道德與法制、中外文學(xué)名著節(jié)選、等等．這類(lèi)材料的命題點(diǎn)往往落在主旨大意題、事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題上．

4．A scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it．Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see．Some last a few minutes before they give in．But others are determined to wait until the last moment．
By the time the children reach high school，something remarkable has happened．A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular，adventurous，confident and dependable．The children who gave in to emptation early on were more likely to be lonely，easily frustrated and inflexible．Actually，the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn't show up on an IQ test．
The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists'concerns．But brain theory can't explain what we wonder about most，like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul．
Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman，writer of Emotional Intelligence：when it comes to predicting people's success，brain ability as measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as"character"．
EQ is not the opposite of IQ．What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together； how one's ability to handle stress，for instance，affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use．Among the elements for success，researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%； the rest depends on everything from social class to luck．
While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously，some few fear EQ invites misuse．

33．The experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear thatC．
A．the age of 4is a proper time for scientific experiment
B．emotional intelligence won't show up until adolescence
C．the ability of self-control plays a role in personal success
D．candy can be used to measure a person's emotional intelligence
34．The underlined word"upbeat"in Paragraph 4probably meansD．
A．kind   B．floating   C．excited   D．cheerful
35．Why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text？C
A．To amuse both the children and readers．
B．To prove the scientist's wisdom．
C．To introduce the topic of the text．
D．To show us how to do an IQ test．

14．Many people today do not enjoy grocery shopping，but the experience we have is still
many times better than that of the past．
Gone are the days when consumers paid higher prices for the advantage of a painfully
slow shopping experience．In addition to lower prices，supermarkets also offer shoppers added convenience and much quicker service．
In the old days，grocery shopping was quite a bit troublesome．Consumer-sized
packages did not exist，so a clerk had to measure out the exact amount you needed for
everything you bought．This system cost much labor and therefore was rather expensive．
On top of that，the entire experience was extremely time-consuming as，much like buying meat at a butcher shop，the number of shoppers that a store could serve at the same time was limited by the size of its staff．The high labor costs and poor efficiency （效率） were quite a problem for both the industry and its public．
The supermarket is a large departmentalized retail store，offering"one-stop shop"
convenience with housewares，magazines，beauty products，and much more in addition to
the food items sold by traditional stores．Need soap to go with your newspaper and bread？
The supermarket saves you time by providing all three items under one roof．Along with added convenience comes added efficiency．
Shoppers can now fetch what they want from shelves instead of waiting for service．
This in turn reduces the need for additional staff，helping owners to cut costs greatly and to pass the savings back to the consumer．In fact，supermarkets pass so much of the savings back that their margins are razor-thin-only l to 3percent-so to make a profit，they must rely on extremely high turnover rates and keeping operating expenses low，for example，by not offering delivery for one．The result is a quick and painless shopping experience with very reasonable prices．
24．Which of the following is listed as a disadvantage of traditional grocery stores？D
A．Fewer staff members．
B．Less shopping time．
C．Smaller trading profits．
D．Higher operating costs．
25．The underlined word"margins"meansC．
A．savings            B．prices               C，profits             D．expenses
26．Supermarkets don't offer delivery for one becauseA．
A．they want to keep costs down      
B．it isn't a good way to attract consumers
C．there is no demand for such a service  
D．it's the major cause of low efficiency
27．The passage mainly aims to．D
A．introduce the origin of the supermarket
B．discuss the disadvantages of traditional grocery stores
C．explain why the general public hate grocery shopping
D，outline the advantages of supermarkets over traditional groceries．
