答案
小题1:B 小题2:G 小题3:E 小题4:D 小题5:F |
解析
试题分析:本文叙述了移民的现象,早在二次世界大战的时候就有一些有才的人为了发挥自己的才能离开自己的国家去外国移民,现在60多年以后这种现象仍然存在,其中美国是人们移民的主要国家,因为他们认为他们的创造力和知识只有在美国能够得到最好的回报。 小题1:根据Also, it is the surest way to change a man’s life completely.可知上句叙述的是移民是或总是挑战生活的一种最后的答案,它能彻底地改变人的生活,故选B。 小题2:根据Also, emigration might be your answer to all the difficult questions life brought to you可知上文叙述的是如果你在你的国家,你的在音乐、文学、戏剧或绘画的天赋不需要,移民可能是实现你的目标的最好的方法,并且移民可能能够解决你的这些问题,故选G。 小题3:根据空格后是对于发生在过去的移民现象的存在,所以前面应是概括地叙述对于那些在科学和文化领域做出贡献的人来说移民不是一个新的现象,故选E。 小题4:根据上文叙述是二次世界大战后的移民到现在有60多年的历史了,所以下文是今天60多年以后,人才的移民仍然存在,故选D。 小题5:根据Thousands of immigrants arrive in the US every day in search of success and recognition.成千上万的移民每天都有到达美国来寻找成功和认可,下句是总结性的一句人们认为美国是对于他们的创造力和知识能够得到最好回报的地方,故选F。 点评:理清句际间意义的关系 文章的内容是根据各层各段的大意有机地组合而成,各个层次,各个段落之间不管怎样错落有致,但它所表达的内容都是要围绕中心的,各句之间都有一定的语脉,从逻辑意义上来看,语段的句际关系可分为平列、顺序、层递、转折、总分、解释、因果等关系。构成语段的各个句子之间有时可以包含一种以上的句际关系。因此,理解阅读材料时一定要把握语脉,理清句际间的关系,进而理解语段或全文的内容。 |

The basics of infrastructure design It is rightly pointed out various intellectuals that the lifestyle of today is vastly different from that of the earlier times especially in terms of its pace. Lifestyle of today is remarkablyfast paced and so in order to catch up with such a pace of life, the adoption of smart and time saving methods is of real significance. Well, the highways have certainly contributed in this direction and have made our lives a lot easier. Thanks to the modern flyovers and expressways, a single route can be accessed by twice the number of vehicles at the same time. These facilities and supplies have made our lives double free but it needs to be realized that designing and constructing it is a very complex and a long process. You have to hold fast to the various rules of designing, government standards and most importantly, their safety and usability for the people. In the end it is a joint effort of a number of skilled engineers, scientists and statisticians. The material that is used in the construction is finalized after it undergoes certain tests for evaluating their qualities like hardness, roughness, thickness and all that is required. Some of the points you have to take care of while laying an infrastructure design are as follows: The basic layout (布局) of the road — At this level of planning, various civil engineers have meetings to figure out the basic requirements of the road like thickness of the asphalt (沥青), the size of lanes, distance to be covered, degree of curves and much more. These fundamental points help them decide the further line of action. The prior steps — Before any work is stated over the basic plan layout, there are various preparations to be made like placing road signs, the removal of trees that may prove to be dangerous in the event of a storm or other natural causes, the positioning of fire hydrants (消防栓) based on special designs to be useful when required, etc. Inclusion of safety barriers — The safety barriers are placed on almost all roads and highways that are made over or near to rivers and cliffs. These barriers keep the vehicles from moving into the traffic in instances of accidents. These should also be designed in advance of placing them on a road and the design should be such that it makes minimum impact upon the people sitting in the car. These include supplies like side rails and light poles. Asphalt pavement marking — It is the process of using a reflective material to indicate various important points on the road like lanes, turns, passing areas, two way and one way roads. Though the smooth and wide highways constructed in big cities seem to be very attractive for the drivers, the ease of use is also the cause of accidents. Cars rushing at extremely high speeds and insecure change of lanes are a common sight on the highways. With the help of novel infrastructure design engineers, we can make the best possible use of highways. If these are designed properly and sign boards are placed at the required points, a number of road accidents can be avoided.
