2013年高考信息題
A
The Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an
ecological disaster area. Nauru’s heartbreaking story could have one good
consequence — other countries might learn from its mistakes.
For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived on the remote island of Nauru,
far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798.
He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island
Pleasant Island.
However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with
Europeans at first. The whaling ships and other traders began to visit,
bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance
of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which
reduced the population from 1,400 to 900.
Nauru’s real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company
discovered phosphate (磷酸鹽)on the island. In fact, it found that the island
of Nauru was nearly all phosphate
, which is a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining
the phosphate.
A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. When a
company strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away
the material it
wants. Strip mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island
of Nauru started to look like the moon.
In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world.
Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars
for its phosphate.
Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions
of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses
. Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem — their phosphate was
running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed
and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined. Experts say that it
would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the
island. This will probably never happen.
56. What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To seek help for Nauru’s problems.
B. To give a warning to other countries
C. To show the importance of money
D. To tell a heartbreaking story of a war.
57. What was Nauru like before the Europeans came?
A. Rich and powerful B. Modern and open
C. Peaceful and attractive D. Greedy and aggressive
58. The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from _______.
A. soil pollutionB. phosphate overmining
C. farming activity D. whale hunting
59. Which of the following was a cause of Nauru’s financial problem?
A. Its leaders misused the moneyB. It spent too much repairing the island
C. Its phosphate mining cost much money D. It lost millions of dollars in the civil war.
60. What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?
A. The ecological damage is difficult to repair.
B. The leaders will take the experts’ words seriously.
C. The island was abandoned by the Nauruans
D. The phosphate mines were destroyed
B
One of the greatest contributions to the first Oxford English Dictionary was
also one of its most unusual. In 1879, Oxford University in England asked
Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious
dictionary in the history of the English language. It would include every English
word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the
word and quotations (引文)showing how it was used.
This was a huge task.,so Murrary had to find volunteers from Britain, the United
States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and
book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including
William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American surgeon who had served
in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his address as “
Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire,”” 50 miles from Oxford.
Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray.
Over the next 17 years, he became one of the staff’s most valued contributors.
But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline
to visit Oxford. So in 1897， Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself.
When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell at the Broadmoor
Asylum（精神病院） for the Criminally insane.
Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued
contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20
years. Murray continued to visit Minor regularly, sometimes taking walks with
him around the asylum grounds.
In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was
at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.
Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English
Dictionary was completed. The 12 volumes defined 414,825 words, and
thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient.

San Francisco has its cable cars. Seattle has its Space Needle. And, Longview
has its squirrel bridge. The bridge, which has attracted international attention
, is now a local landmark.
The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in 1963 by a local builder, Amos Peters,
to give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without getting flattened by passing
cars.
The original bridge was built over Olympia Way on the west edge of the library
grounds. Before the bridge was built, squirrels had to avoid traffic to and from
the Park Plaza office building where office staff put out a nutty feast for the
squirrels. Many times, Peters and others who worked in and near Park Plaza
witnessed squirrels being run over.
One day Peters found a dead squirrel with a nut still in its mouth, and that day’
s coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety. The group of businessmen
cooked up the squirrel bridge idea and formed a committee to ask the blessing
of the City Council(市政會).The Council approved, and Councilwoman Bess
LaRiviere named the bridge “Nutty Narrows.”
After architects designed the bridge, Amos Peters and Bill Hutch started
Construction, They built the 60-foot bridge from aluminum and lengths
of fire hose(消防水帶). It cost 1,000.
It didn’t take long before reports of squirrels using the bridge started.
Squirrels
were even seen guiding their young and teaching them the ropes. The
story was picked up by the media, and Nutty Narrows became know
in newspapers all over the world.
In 1983, after 20 years of use, Peters took down the worn-out bridge.
Repairs were made and crosspieces were replaced. The
faded sign was repainted and in July 1983, hundreds of animal lovers
attended the completion ceremony of the new bridge.
Peters died in 1984, and a ten-foot wooden squirrel sculpture was placed
near the bridge in memory of its builder and his devotion to the project.
67. The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in order to ________.
A. offer squirrels a place to eat nuts
B. set up a local landmark
C. help improve traffic
D. protect squirrels
68. What happened over the coffee break discussion?

A. passing them a ropeB. Directing them to store food for winter
C. Teaching them a lessonD. Showing them how to use the bridge.
70. Which of the following is true of the squirrel bridge?

For those who are tired doing the laundry, Samsung has found an answer: a
washing machine that can tell you when your laundry is done via a smartphone
app(application).
Strange though it may seem — “my wife already does that” was a common
response among attendees
viewing the device when it was introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show
(CES) this week — Samsung is just one of many appliance makers racing to
install (安裝) a large number of internet-connected features in machines in an
effort to make them “smart”.
Last year, it was a refrigerator that tweeted. This year, it’s Wi-Fi-enabled laundry
machines and fridges that can tell you when your groceries are going bad.
The washers and dryers, available starting in the spring, connect to any smartphon
e through a downloadable application. The phone can then be used as a remote
control, so the machines can be turned on and off while their owners is at work or on the bus.
Samsung says it’s not just something new — the app connection actually has some
practical uses.
“If you started to dry clothes in the morning and forgot to take them out, you can go to
your phone and restart your dryer for the time when come home, so your clothes are
refreshed and ready to go,” said spokesperson Amy Schmidt.
The company also says that with electricity rate(電價(jià))varying depending on the time
of day, more control over when the machines are used can help save money.
Perhaps, but what they will probably really accomplish is what all good technologies do
—enable laziness. Rather than getting up to check on whether the laundry is done, users
will instead monitor it on their phones while watching TV.
72. What can be inferred from the common response of the attendees at the CES?
A. The machine will be a big success.
B. their wives like doing the laundry.
C. The machine is unrelated to their life.
D. This kind of technology is familiar to them.
73. What can we learn about the new laundry machines?
A. They can tell you when your clothes need washing
B. They can be controlled with a smartphone
C. They are difficult to operate
D. They are sold at a low price
74. We can conclude form Samsung’s statements that ___________.
A. the app connection makes life easier
B. it is better to dry clothes in the morning
C. smartphone can shorten the drying time
D. we should refresh clothes back at home
75. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The laundry should be frequently checked
B. Lazy people like using such machines
C. Good technologies also cause problems
D. Television may help do the laundry.
