音樂陶冶情操，唱歌有益健康，請放開歌喉，縱情歌唱吧！(1）C細節理解題。根據第二段第一句中的內容可知舉辦該運動的目的是讓人們唱歌，享受其中的益處，再結合本段引號中的內容可判斷C項正確。（2)C細節理解題。由第三段和第四段的內容可知GrahamWelch認為唱歌可以增加人們的快樂感，減少壓力感,增強自尊，故C項符合題意.（3）A猜測詞義題。上文提到歌唱可以振奮精神，增強自尊，對各個年齡階段的人都適用，由此可推斷唱歌能夠讓人“放松”。（4)B推理判斷題。第二段最后一句提到耷拉著臉不可能把歌唱好，因為會影響音高，由此可推測當一個人情緒低落時不能把歌唱好。(5)D主旨大意題。文章第一段開門見山地指明了唱歌對健康的益處，下文則比較詳細地進行了敘述,所以本文意在倡導大家為健康而縱情歌唱.*＊**＊****＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊**＊＊*＊**＊＊＊*＊*＊＊＊******＊＊＊＊＊**＊＊＊*＊＊**＊＊*＊*＊＊＊結束新聞報道型閱讀理解（一)ThecrisisatJapan’sFukushimaDai-Ichinuclearenergycenterhasraisedquestionsaboutthefutureofthenuclearenergyindustry.ArjunMakhijaniispresidentoftheInstituteforEnergyandEnvironmentalResearchintheUnitedStates。HesaysthedisasterinJapanishistoric.Thisweek，thechairmanofAmerica’snuclearagencysaidthereislittlechancethatharmfulradiationfromJapancouldreachtheUnitedStates.NuclearRegulatoryCommissionChairmanGregoryJaczkoalsosaidAmericahasastrongprograminplacetodealwithearthquakethreats。NonewnuclearpowercentershavebeenbuiltintheUnitedStatessince1979。ThatwaswhenAmerica'sworstnuclearaccidenthappenedattheThreeMileIslandcenterinPennsylvania。Theaccidentbegantoturnpublicopinionagainstnuclearenergy。Tosupportmorecleanenergyproduction，theObamagovernmenthasbeenseekingbillionsofdollarsingovernmentloanguaranteestobuildnewcenters。Presently,abouttwentypercentofelectricityintheUnitedStatescomesfromnuclearenergy.Butcriticssaynuclearpoweristoocostlyanddangeroustobeworthfurtherexpansion.GermanprimeministerAngelaMerkelsaidGermanywouldcloseallsevennuclearpowercentersforamomentwhileenergypolicyisreconsidered.TheEuropeanUnionisplanningtotestallcentersinitstwenty。sevenmembernations.Developingnationsarelesswillingtoslownuclearexpansion.Chinasaiditwouldcontinuewithplanstobuildabouttwenty。fivenewnuclearplants。AndIndia，underacooperationagreementwiththeUnitedStates，planstospendbillionsonnewcentersinthecomingyears.Japanhasmadenuclearenergyanationalprioritysincethe1970s。Unlikemanymajoreconomies，Japanimportseightypercentofitsenergy.TheNuclearEnergyInstitutesaidtwenty。ninepercentofJapan'selectricitycamefromnuclearsourcesin2011.Thegovernmentplannedtoincreasethattofortypercentby2017.Nuclearplantssupplyfourteenpercentofglobalelectricity。Nuclearenergyisacleanresource,producingnocarbongases.Butradioactivewasteisaseriousunresolved(未解決的）issue。So_is_the_presence_of_nuclear_power_centers_in_earthquake_areas_like_the_one_near_Bushehr，_Iran.（)6。Whichofthefollowingcountriesistheleastlikelytoexpanditsuseofnuclearenergy？A．China.B．India。C．Iran。D．Germany.（）7。ThegovernmentofJapanintendedtoincreaseitsnuclearenergyin2017by________comparedwith2011。A．29％B．40%C．69%D．11％（)8.WhichofthefollowingstatementsabouttheuseofnuclearpowerintheU．S。isTRUE？A．MostoftheelectricitycomesfromnuclearenergyintheU．S。B．TheObamagovernmentisagainstbuildingnuclearpowerplants.C．Asmallnumberofnuclearpowerplantshavebeenbuiltsince1979.D．AseriousnuclearaccidenthappenedinAmericaattheendofthe1970s.（)9.What’sthemainideaofthispassage？A．ThenuclearcrisisinJapanhasspreadtootherpartsoftheworld。B．Thesituationoftheworld'snuclearpowerdevelopmentafterthecrisisinJapan.C．Japan’snucleardisasterwillslowtheexpansionofnuclearplantsallovertheworld.D．Japan’snucleardisasterwon’taffectthenuclearenergyproductioninothercountries。（)10。Fromthelastsentenceofthepassage，wecanseethewriter’sattitudetowardsbuildinganuclearpowerplantnearBushehr，A．supportiveB．optimisticC．negative D．uncertain(一)本文為新聞。主要報道各國的核能使用狀況及相關態度。6．D細節理解題。根據第四段GermanprimeministerAngelaMerkelsaidGermanywouldcloseallsev
