单项选择题

Spider webs are one of the most fascinating examples of animal architecture. The most beautiful and structurally ordered are the round webs. The main function of the web is to stop and hold flying insects, long enough for the spider to catch them. In order to do so, the threads of the web have to stand the forces from large and heavy insects as well as environmental forces from wind and rain for at least a day in most cases.
The round web is found to have two main characteristics. The first is its geometry, which consists of an outer frame and a central part from which threads radiate outward. Enclosed in the frame are capture spirals winding round and round from the web center out to the frame. The whole web is in tension and held in place by anchor threads, which connect the frame to the surrounding plants or objects. The second and perhaps most important characteristic is the material with which it is built. Spider silk is a kind of natural material that gives this lightweight fiber a strength comparable to that of steel, while at the same time making it very elastic. Two types of silk threads are used in the web. One is highly elastic and can stretch to almost twice its original length before breaking and, for most types of spiders, is covered in glue. This type is used in the capture spiral for catching and holding insects. The other is stiffer and stronger, and is used for the radius, frames and anchor threads, which allows the web to stand forces and to keep its structural strength through a wide range of environmental conditions.What does the underlined word "so" in the first paragraph refer to

A.To catch and keep small creatures.
B.To find a good material for the web.
C.To make the webs beautiful and well ordered.
D.To make the threads long enough.
单项选择题

Energy independence. It has a nice ring to it. Doesn’t it If you think so, you’re not alone, because energy independence has been the dream of American president for decades, and never more so than in the past few years, when the most recent oil price shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great recession. "Energy independence" and its rhetorical(修辞的)companion "energy security" are, however, slippery concepts that are rarely through, though. What is it that we want independence from, exactly Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil. But there are reasons that we buy all that oil from elsewhere. The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running. Yes, there is a trickle(涓涓细流)of biofuel(生物燃料)available, and more may become available, but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction. Second, Americans have basically decided that they don’t really want to produce all their own oil. They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad. Vast areas of the United States are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental protection. To what extent are Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy production in order to cut back imports Third, there are benefits to trade. It allows for economic efficiency, and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do, we benefit. And although you don’t read about this much, the United States is also a large exporter of oil products, selling about 2 million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90 countries. There is no question that the United States imports a great deal of energy and, in fact, relies on that steady flow to maintain its economy. When that flow is interrupted, we feel the pain in short supplies and higher prices, at the same time, we derive massive economic benefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world.What does the author say about energy independence for America

A.It sounds very attractive.
B.It will bring oil prices down.
C.It ensures national security.
D.It has long been everyone’s dream.

单项选择题

The ability to do several things at once has become one of the great measures of self-worth for 21st-century Americans. It is called multitasking, and it takes many forms. As one example, why go out to lunch when you can eat at your desk, talk to a client on the phone, scroll through your e-mail, and scan a memo simultaneously And why simply work out on treadmill(单调的工作)when you could be watching television and talking on a portable phone at the same time What a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment—three activities for the time commitment of one! Ah, such efficiency. No wonder those who turn "to do" lists into a time-management art form are inclined to boast, "Look, me, how many things I can accomplish at once. If I’m this busy, I must be important." Yet last week the New York Assembly struck a blow against multitasking, at least behind the wheel, when it approved a bill banning drivers in the state from using handheld cellular phones. Too dangerous, the assembly said, citing research showing that drivers are four times more likely to have a collision when they are talking on a cellphone. No one can argue against using time effectively. But accompanying the supposed gains are losses. Consider the woman out for an early-morning walk in a suburban neighborhood. She strides briskly, head down, cellphone clamped to her ear, chattering(喋喋不休)away, oblivious of the birds and flower and glorious sunshine. Did the walk have any value More than a decade ago, long before multitasking became a word in everyday use, a retired professor of theology in Indiana with whom I corresponded made a case for what might be called uni-tasking—the old-fashioned practice of doing one thing at a time. Offering the simplest example, he said, "When you wash the dishes, wash the dishes." Good advice, I’ve found, whatever the task. Perhaps, too, the ban on phoning on the road will even spark a move away from other forms of dual activity. Who can tell It could mark the first step in a welcome reconsideration of what really constitutes productivity and accomplishment.The author thinks that multitasking has become one of the great measures of self-worth because______.

A.it helps people to use time effectively
B.it makes people feel they are important
C.it means the ability to do several things at once
D.people worship speed and desire

The ability to do several things at once has become one of the great measures of self-worth for 21st-century Americans. It is called multitasking, and it takes many forms. As one example, why go out to lunch when you can eat at your desk, talk to a client on the phone, scroll through your e-mail, and scan a memo simultaneously And why simply work out on treadmill(单调的工作)when you could be watching television and talking on a portable phone at the same time What a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment—three activities for the time commitment of one! Ah, such efficiency. No wonder those who turn "to do" lists into a time-management art form are inclined to boast, "Look, me, how many things I can accomplish at once. If I’m this busy, I must be important." Yet last week the New York Assembly struck a blow against multitasking, at least behind the wheel, when it approved a bill banning drivers in the state from using handheld cellular phones. Too dangerous, the assembly said, citing research showing that drivers are four times more likely to have a collision when they are talking on a cellphone. No one can argue against using time effectively. But accompanying the supposed gains are losses. Consider the woman out for an early-morning walk in a suburban neighborhood. She strides briskly, head down, cellphone clamped to her ear, chattering(喋喋不休)away, oblivious of the birds and flower and glorious sunshine. Did the walk have any value More than a decade ago, long before multitasking became a word in everyday use, a retired professor of theology in Indiana with whom I corresponded made a case for what might be called uni-tasking—the old-fashioned practice of doing one thing at a time. Offering the simplest example, he said, "When you wash the dishes, wash the dishes." Good advice, I’ve found, whatever the task. Perhaps, too, the ban on phoning on the road will even spark a move away from other forms of dual activity. Who can tell It could mark the first step in a welcome reconsideration of what really constitutes productivity and accomplishment.In the eyes of the author, multi-tasking______.

A.could not be avoided in this fast-changing age
B.should be taken the place of by uni-tasking
C.robs people of time to focus and reflect
D.should not become a word in everyday use
