When coal is burned in a boiler, two kinds of ash by-products are produced: a heavy bottom ash and a fine-as-powder fly ash. About 10 to 15 percent of the coal by-product is bottom ash which is used like sand on streets and highways covered with ice, and also on highways as paving material.

It is the fly ash, however, that is receiving much attention. Once considered a waste, fly ash is now regarded as a natural resource in the United States. It can be placed in some lower places, where it is compacted（压实） and covered with soil, for the seeds of various grasses and plants to be placed in the soil to make the land productive.

Fly ash may be added to concrete (混凝土）to build roads and other kinds of buildings, taking the place of the cement(水泥) up to 20 percent. As a by-product of burned coal, fly ash requires no extra energy to be produced, while cement production requires great amounts of energy.

Besides, the technology is able to take out some useful minerals from the fly ash, which is still a very expensive process today. But the time may come when it is cheaper to take out these products from ash than to mine new supplies.

49. The bottom ash can be put on icy streets________.

A. in order to rebuild them          B. in order to make them colorful

C. so that people can walk on them   D. so that cars can run faster

50. The fly ash can be used to________.

A. grow various plants   B. take the place of soil

C. cover productive land       D. make more productive land

51. Which of the following is right?

A. To produce fly ash, some extra coal is to be burned.

B. Fly ash is made while producing cement.

C. It takes less energy to produce fly ash than cement.

D. Fly ash is a costless by-product.

52. The word “mine” in the last sentence of the passage means_______.

A. to buy things from other countries

B. to search for useful materials in the mountains

C. to dig deeply into the ground to get useful materials

D. to take out certain materials from other things

高一英语阅读理解简单题查看答案及解析

Recently a professor of philosophy(哲学)in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day to day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he has asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value(重视)in life．

The professor says our relation with others often becomes clearly defined(明确)when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money．If he does，it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Otherwise it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn’t．

Since money is so important to us, we consider those who are rich to be very important. The professor interviews some rich people in his research for his book．

Question:  What is the most surprising thing you have discovered about being rich?

Answer :  The most surprising thing is why people give me so much respect(尊重). I am nothing．I don’t know much．All I am is rich．

People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much money do I need for any given purpose in my life? In his book，the professor uncovered an important need in modern society：to bring back the idea that money is a tool rather than the end．Money plays an important role in the material world，but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.

Recently, a scientist did some experiments．He left a group of 4-year-olds in a room with a bell and a candy．If they rang the bell, he would come back and they could eat the candy．If, however, they didn't ring the bell and waited for him to come back on his own, they could then have two candies.

In videos of the experiment, he can see the children kicking, hiding their eyes--trying to exercise self-control so they can wait and get two candies．The results are different．Some broke down and rang the bell within a minute．Others lasted 15 minutes.

The children who waited longer went on to get higher SAT scores．They got into better colleges and had better adult success．The children who rang the bell quickest were more likely to have received worse teacher and parental evaluations （评价） 10 years later and were more likely to have drug problems at age 32.

The experiments are worth noting because people spend a lot of time thinking about how to improve education, how to become rich．But when the result is not good, they will come back to ask "how do we get people to get the sort of self-control that leads to success?" This is to enter the world of human nature.

So these experiments along with everyday experience, tell us that self-control is most important．Young people who can sit through sometimes boring classes to get a degree can work hard in order to learn a language well．They can avoid drugs and alcohol．For people without self-control skills, however, school is a series of failed ordeals（煎熬）．No wonder they drop out and their later life is a group of foolish ideas, such as drug use, stealing and so on.

1.The scientist did some experiments to ________.

2.We can learn from the experiment that ________

3.What is the best title for this passage?

高一英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

I had recently arrived in London and I wanted to see some of the famous places. Should I go to the seaside? Or maybe one of the famous parks? I walked along the street, past a kindergarten playground, and suddenly saw an underground railway station. I was surprised because it was not on my map. I went to buy a ticket. The ticket-seller looked very old. He gave me a ticket, said "Remember it's a return", laughed and walked away without taking my money. Was it special for tourists?

A train arrived. I could not see any other passengers. I got on and the doors closed. I suddenly felt I should not have got onto the train. It started to go faster and faster, shooting along the tracks. As it entered the tunnel, everything became as dark as midnight and I do not remember the next few minutes. The train came to a station and I got out. I could see light shining in the distance so I walked towards it and came to a door. Beyond it there was a busy street.

There were lots of English people walking about, and I could see some of the famous buildings of London, but there was something wrong. The people's clothes were strange. There were no cars, no motorbikes—but there were horses everywhere. Was someone making a film?

“Excuse me,” I said to a man. “Would you mind telling me where I am and what is happening?”

“What do you mean? Who are you? Where do you come from? Are you from China? This is London and everyone's going to work. Can't you see that?” he asked.

“Thank you, sir. I'm sorry, but could I look at your newspaper?” I asked.

“You can have it,” he said as he walked off.

I looked at it; I saw “New Bicycle Law” and above that “July 5, 1880”.

Maybe I should have walked around, but I ran back to the door. I waited a long time. I was very afraid. A train came. I got on. It took me back to the first station. As I left, a woman asked, “What were you doing in that abandoned station?” I had no answer, but I still had the newspaper in my hand.

1.Why was the author surprised at the beginning of the story?

A. Because he suddenly saw an underground railway station.

B. Because he walked past a kindergarten playground.

C. Because the ticket-seller looked very old.

D. Because he couldn’t find the station on his map.

2.What does the underlined “it” in the second paragraph most probably mean?

A. The train.　 　　　　 　 B. The light.

C. The distance.　　　　 D. The door

3.Why did the author think he had arrived in a film-making scene?

A. Because he could see some of the famous buildings of London.

B. Because he had done something wrong in the street of London.

C. Because he could only see horses rather than cars in the streets.

D. Because the people in the streets were all neatly dressed.

4.According to the passage, New Bicycle Law might be _______.

A. The name for a London street.

B. The name for a film made in London.

C. The name for a newspaper article

D. The name for a underground station.

5.Where can this passage most probably be taken from?
