Passage Four
"Cool" is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings.
"Cool" can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, "It's cool. ' You may think, "He's so cool," when you see your favorite football player.
We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of "cool". You can use it instead of many words such as "new" or "surprising". Here's an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student's paper was just the one sentence, "It's so cool." Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.
But the story also shows a scarcity of words. Without "cool", some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word "cool"? I can. And I think they are also very cool.
46. We know that the word "cool" has had______.
A. only one meaning
B. no meanings
C. the same meaning
D. many different meanings

单选题请阅读 Passage 1，完成第 21~25小题。Passage 1These days，many large city buildings are equipped with their own air-conditioning systems.These systems help keep the buildings cool，but they can also damage the environment.Since they use a lot of electricity，for instance，they contribute indirectly to global warming.In addition，the water that flows through the systems is often cooled using chemicals called chlorofluorocarbons，or CFCs，that are believed to damage the Earth's ozone layer.Recently，though，a system has been built in the city of Toronto，Canada，that cools buildings with little damage to the environment. In the traditional air-conditioning systems found in most large buildings，water is pumped through the building in a continuous cycle.The water is first cooled to a temperature of 4℃ in machines called chillers.It is then sent to individual units that cool the air in each room.As the water flows through the building，it gradually becomes warmer.Finally，it reaches the roof ，where it is left to cool down naturally in a water tower.After that it is returned to the chillers，where the cycle begins again.Toronto lies on the shore of Lake Ontario，one of North America's Great Lakes，and the new system makes use of cold water taken from about 80 meters below the surface of the lake.At this depth，the water in the lake remains at 4℃ all year round.This is exactly the temperature to which the water in air-conditioning systems is cooled.However，the water from the lake is not pumped directly into the air-conditioning systems.Instead，it is used to cool the water that is already inside the air-conditioning systems.After that，the lake water is added to the city's ordinary water supply.Enwave，the company that developed this deep-lake cooling system，says that it uses 75 percent less energy than traditional air conditioning.And since no CFCs are used，no damage can be caused to the ozone layer.Not every city is located next to a large lake，but experts believe that systems like the one being used in Toronto could be built elsewhere by using other natural sources of cold water.What happens in the end to the water from Lake Ontario?AIt is used by the residents of Toronto.

第16题：
资料：Anything that affects the smooth flow of information is known as noise. This might be, for example, the language used,an in appropriate use of technology or the different levels of skill and knowledge of the sender and receiver. For example, every day in the press and on TV, consumers are bombarded with often confusing or contradictory information about the health benefits or risks associated with different foods. Consumers may not have enough understanding or information to judge between conflicting messages. It is therefore not surprising that many people do not hear these messages and switch off.
A company has to overcome a considerable amount of direct noise caused by the earlier negative press articles. By not responding to these immediately or correcting with facts, consumers are confused and the company loses credibility with the press and the public.
To achieve its vision and encourage consumers to eat turkey all year round, BM Company needs to give people more information in a way they can easily understand. It has there closed to highlight key facts about the products as the foundation for many of its messages.
What may not be called noise according the passage?A.positive press articles

C.the language used.
D.an inappropriate use of technology.答案：A解析：本题考查的是细节理解。

2.A 本题考查上下文语义衔接。下文提到“cool”也有了更多意思,此处应表达世界也在变化。故选A项。develop发展。clean清扫。inform通知;预示;告发。
3.B 本题考查对词组的词义辨析。B项take on意为“呈现,承担”符合语境。turn out 结果是。take in接受;让……进入;理解。come into进入;得到。
4.B 本题考查名词与介词搭配以及上下文意思。下文搭配的介词为in,通常interest与in搭配,同时符合句意。故选B项。satisfaction满足。sense感觉。interesting令人感到有趣的。
5.D 本题考查动词固定用法。can’t help后接doing形式,意为“忍不住做某事”,原文意思是忍不住“说”,而不是“告诉”,故选D项。
6.C 本题考查词义理解。favorite 最喜爱的,符合句意“使用cool赞美最喜欢的足球运动员”。famous著名的。B out of date过时的。modem现代的。
7.B 本题考查词组用法。in place of“取代,替代”符合句意。A项无此用法,C项应改为“to take the place of”,D项交换。本题考查句意理解。原文的意思是“有一个用来说明这个词用法的故事”。
8.C 空格所在句子结构成分齐全,所以空格处应填入非谓语,表示“用来”,做定语的只能是used to,故选C项。
9.C 本题考查词语意思的理解。根据原文意思应该选择“描述”。故选C项。
10.D 本题考查上下文句意连贯。根据下文“It’s so cool.”是一个句子,而不是一个单词或短语。故选D项。
11.D 本题考查上下文衔接。句意可知应选“也许,可能”。原文并无转折的意思,故排除A项。as far as只要。
12.D 本题考查句子意思的理解。根据句意“也许这是他认为描述他所见所感的最佳方式”,故选D项。
13.B 本题考查宾语从句引导词。“所见所感”只能用what来引导。故选B项。
14.D 本题考查上下文衔接。根据句子意思应为转折关系,故选D。
15.A 本题考查句子意思的理解。根据句意“没有cool这个词,有些人就不知道该怎样表达同样的意思。”可知选A项。
16.B 本题考查语义辨析。空格后面表达要提高人们的词汇量是一种必要手段,故选necessary。 important重要的。impossible不可能的。natural很自然的。
17.C 本题考查语义辨析。根据句子意思应为“保持语言的丰富多彩”选择一个名词richness 。true真实的,正确的。belief信仰,相信。interest兴趣。
18.B 本题考查对词汇及对上下文的理解。根据原文意思是“cool代表了一种特殊文化,而不是一种语言。”可知选B。
19.D 本题考查对原文的理解。原文是“使得生活更加多姿多彩”,D选项有“使得”含义,故选D。
20.A 本题考查对全文意思的理解。整篇文章都在讲cool这个词,因此结尾时作者也紧扣主题,再次使用cool。故选A项。解析： 暂无解析 -

第22题：
单选题请阅读 Passage 1，完成第 21~25小题。Passage 1These days，many large city buildings are equipped with their own air-conditioning systems.These systems help keep the buildings cool，but they can also damage the environment.Since they use a lot of electricity，for instance，they contribute indirectly to global warming.In addition，the water that flows through the systems is often cooled using chemicals called chlorofluorocarbons，or CFCs，that are believed to damage the Earth's ozone layer.Recently，though，a system has been built in the city of Toronto，Canada，that cools buildings with little damage to the environment. In the traditional air-conditioning systems found in most large buildings，water is pumped through the building in a continuous cycle.The water is first cooled to a temperature of 4℃ in machines called chillers.It is then sent to individual units that cool the air in each room.As the water flows through the building，it gradually becomes warmer.Finally，it reaches the roof ，where it is left to cool down naturally in a water tower.After that it is returned to the chillers，where the cycle begins again.Toronto lies on the shore of Lake Ontario，one of North America's Great Lakes，and the new system makes use of cold water taken from about 80 meters below the surface of the lake.At this depth，the water in the lake remains at 4℃ all year round.This is exactly the temperature to which the water in air-conditioning systems is cooled.However，the water from the lake is not pumped directly into the air-conditioning systems.Instead，it is used to cool the water that is already inside the air-conditioning systems.After that，the lake water is added to the city's ordinary water supply.Enwave，the company that developed this deep-lake cooling system，says that it uses 75 percent less energy than traditional air conditioning.And since no CFCs are used，no damage can be caused to the ozone layer.Not every city is located next to a large lake，but experts believe that systems like the one being used in Toronto could be built elsewhere by using other natural sources of cold water.What is one problem with traditional air-conditioning systems?AThe chemicals they use sometimes pollute the water supply.
BThey often damage the buildings that they are trying to cool.
CThere are not enough CFCs in the world to cool all the buildings.
DThe method they use to cool water is thought to harm the ozone layer.
