  2. B.
    has come about; missed
  3. C.
    has come out; forgot
  4. D.
    has taken place; lost
B
根據(jù)句意可知問的是現(xiàn)在的結(jié)果，所以第一個(gè)空用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)態(tài)。又知“錯過……”是過去的動作，故選擇B項(xiàng)。happen/come about/take place發(fā)生，產(chǎn)生；miss a bus沒趕上車。

As the railroads and the highways shaped the American West in the past centuries, a new electrical generating(發(fā)電)and transmission (輸送) system for the 21st century will leave a lasting mark on the West, for better or worse. Much of the real significance of railroads and highways is not in their direct physical effect on the scenery, but in the ways that they affect the surrounding community. The same is true of big solar plants and the power lines that will be laid down to move electricity around.

The 19 th century saw land grants(政府撥地) offered to railroad companies to build the transcontinental railroads, leaving public land in between privately owned land. In much of the West, some of the railroad sections were developed while others remained undeveloped, and in both cases the landownership has presented unique challenges to land management. With the completion of the interstate highway system, many of the small towns, which sprang up as railway stops and developed well, have lost their lifeblood and died.

Big solar plants and their power lines will also have effects far beyond their direct footprint in the West. This is not an argument against building them. We need alternative energy badly, and to really take advantage of it we need to be able to move electricity around far more readily than we can now.

So trade-offs will have to be made. Some scenic spots will be sacrificed. Some species(物種) will be forced to move, or will be carefully moved to special accommodations. Deals will be struck to reduce the immediate effects.

The lasting effects of these trade-offs are another matter. The 21st century development of the American West as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and money in the region. There are chances for that power and money to do a lot of good. But it is just as likely that they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind, just like the railroads and the highways.

The money set aside in negotiated trade-offs and the institutions that control it will shape the West far beyond the immediate footprint of power plants and transmission lines. So let’s remember the effects of the railroads and the highways as we construct these new power plants in the West.

1.What was the problem caused by the construction of the railways?

A．Small towns along the railways became abandoned.

B．Land in the West was hard to manage.

C．Some railroad stops remained underused.

D．Land grants went into private hands.

2.What is the major concern in the development of alternative energy according to the last two paragraphs?

A．The use of money and power.

B．The transmission of power.

C．The conservation of solar energy.

D．The selection of an ideal place.

3.What is the author’s attitude towards building solar plants?

A．Disapproving.      B．Approving.         C．Doubtful.          D．Cautious.

4.Which is the best title for the passage?

A．How the Railways Have Affected the West

B．How the Effects of Power Plants Can Be Reduced

C．How Solar Energy Could Reshape the West

D．How the Problems of the Highways Have Been Settled

Talking on a mobile phone is expensive, so a lot of people send text messages. Text messages are much cheaper than talking on a mobile phone, and you can make it cheaper by making the words shorter. You can do this by taking out “unimportant” letters in the words and using numbers instead of words (2 =" to," 3 =" free," 4 =" for," 8 =" ate," so h8 =" hate," etc.).

Believe it or not, America’s favorite snack food is the potato chip．There is a story behind how it was first made．One might think that somewhere a genius thought up the first potato chips, but it didn’t happen that way．Picture an elegant restaurant in Saratoga Springs, New York, in 1853．The Moon Lake Restaurant’s menu included French-fried potatoes, a popular food recipe brought back from France by Thomas Jefferson．These were thickly cut potatoes, fried until golden brown and crisp on the outside．One evening a guest in the dining hall felt that his potatoes were too thick and sent them back to the kitchen．The cook sliced some potatoes thinner than before and prepared them for the complaining guest．He was still not satisfied and sent them back again! By this time the cook was very angry and decided to do exactly what the dinner guest wanted：slice the potatoes as thin as possible．Then they would be so crisp that the diner wouldn’t be able to use his fork to eat them．When the paper-thin browned potatoes arrived, the diner was pleased．He was so happy with them that other guests started ordering the new potatoes．The cook’s plan to stop the dinner guest complaining didn’t turn out as expected．Soon Saratoga Chips appeared on the menu and became so popular that people wanted to take some home．The restaurant started selling small packages of the potato chips．A few years later, they were sold all over the U．S．But because the potatoes had to be peeled by hand, it was a time-consuming job and potato chips were often out of stock．In the 1920s, a mechanical potato peeler was invented and soon they were potato chips in abundance．They gradually spread all over the world and have remained popular ever since．
