2、industry are aware of this wider possibility and are planning sizable wind-farm projects in states other than California.有些能源行业的公司意识到了这个更大的可能性，正在计划在美国除了加州以外的州建立大型的风力发电站项目。Since 1980,the use of wind to produce electricity has been growing rapidly.In 1994 there were nearly 20,000 wind turbines worldwi
3、de,most grouped in clusters called wind farms that collectively produced 3,000 megawatts of electricity.Most were in Denmark(which got 3 percent of its electricity from wind turbines)and California(where 17,000 machines produced 1 percent of the states electricity,enough to meet the residential need
4、s of a city as large as San Francisco).In principle,all the power needs of the United States could be provided by exploiting the wind potential of just three statesNorth Dakota,South Dakota,and Texas.Clue 1指代关系指代词（the,this,these,their，such,another,other,they,it）必然有所指代指代词后边若有名词短语，则向前寻找名词短语的同义改写，指代词必然

7、come extinct within a geologically short interval of time are called mass extinctions.There was one such event at the end of the Cretaceous period(around 70 million years ago).There was another,even larger,mass extinction at the end of the Permian period(around 250 million years ago).The Permian eve
8、nt has attracted much less attention than other mass extinctions because mostly unfamiliar species perished at that time.Look at the four squares that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage.In general,it is believed that these two extinctions resulted from drastic enviro
9、nmental changes that followed meteorite impacts or massive volcanic eruptions.Accordingly,France set out to overcome Britain by extending its military domination from Moscow to Lisbon,from Jutland to Calabria.All of this entailed tremendous risk,because France did not have the military resources to
10、control this much territory and still protect itself and maintain order at home.French strategists calculated that a navy of 150 ships would provide the force necessary to defeat the British navy.This advantage was deemed necessary because of Britains superior sea skills and technology,and also beca
11、use Britain would be fighting a defensive war,allowing it to win with fewer forces.Such a force would give France a three-to-two advantage over Britain.Several factors affect tidal ranges,including abrupt changes in atmospheric pressure or prolonged periods of extreme high or low pressure.They are a
12、lso influenced by the density and volume of seawater,variations in ocean-current velocities,earthquakes,and the growing or shrinking of the worlds glaciers.In fact,any of these factors alone can alter sea level.The greater and more rapid the change of water level,the greater the erosive effect of th
13、e tidal action,and thus in the amount of material transported and deposited on the shore.Storm surges,such as the heaping up of ocean water by hurricane winds,are yet another factor.We all know that many more people today are right-handed than left-handed.Can one trace this same pattern far back in
14、prehistory?Much of the evidence about right-hand versus left-hand dominance comes from stencils and prints found in rock shelters in Australia and elsewhere,and in many Ice Age caves in France,Spain,and Tasmania.When a left hand has been stenciled,this implies that the artist was right-handed,and vi
15、ce versa.Even though the paint was often sprayed on by mouth,one can assume that the dominant hand assisted in the operation.One also has to make the assumption that hands were stenciled palm downwarda left hand stenciled palm upward might of course look as if it were a right hand.Of 158 stencils in
16、 the French cave of Gargas,136 have been identified as left,and only 22 as right;right-handedness was therefore heavily predominant.The stencils of hands found in these shelters and caves allow us to draw conclusions about which hand was dominant.Clue 2逻辑关系常见逻辑关系：并列、并列、递进递进、转转折、因果、比折、因果、比较较并列递进：furt

20、fiting by using great amounts of water,and in the process are drawing down the entire regions water supplies.In the face of the upcoming water supply crisis,a number of grandiose schemes have been developed to transport vast quantities of water by canal or pipeline from the Mississippi,the Missouri,
21、or the Arkansas rivers.Unfortunately,the cost of water obtained through any of these schemes would increase pumping costs at least tenfold,making the cost of irrigated agricultural products from the region uncompetitive on the national and international markets.But even if uncooperative farmers were
22、 to join in the conservation efforts,this would only delay the depletion of the aquifer.The subjects of the paintings are mostly animals.The paintings rest on bare walls,with no backdrops or environmental trappings.Perhaps,like many contemporary peoples,Upper Paleolithic men and women believed that
23、the drawing of a human image could cause death of injury,and if that were indeed their belief,it might explain why human figures are rarely depicted in cave art.Another explanation for the focus on animals might be that these people sought to improve their luck at hunting.This theory is suggested by
24、 evidence of chips in the painted figures,perhaps made by spears thrown at the drawings.But if improving their hunting luck was the chief motivation for the paintings,it is difficult to explain why only a few show signs of having been speared.Perhaps the paintings were inspired by the need to increa
25、se the supply of animals.Cave art seems to have reached a peak toward the end of the Upper Paleolithic period,when the herds of game were decreasing.Therefore,if the paintings were connected with hunting,some other explanation is needed.Clue 3结构关系西方人的思维 总分结构来论证观点总分结构本质：先论点，后论证 Fantasy is one of the
26、more common techniques in advertising that could possibly mislead a young audience.Child-oriented advertisements are more likely to include magic and fantasy than advertisements aimed at adults.In a content analysis of Canadian television,the author Stephen Kline observed that nearly all commercials
27、 for character toys featured fantasy play.Children have strong imaginations and the use of fantasy brings their ideas to life,but children may not be adept enough to realize that what they are viewing is unreal.Fantasy situations and settings are frequently used to attract childrens attention,partic
28、ularly in food advertising.Advertisements for breakfast cereals have,for many years,been found to be especially fond of fantasy techniques,with almost nine out of ten including such content.Generally,there is uncertainty as to whether very young children can distinguish between fantasy and reality i
29、n advertising.Certainly,rational appeals in advertising aimed at children are limited,as most advertisements use emotional and indirect appeals to psychological states or associations.Another aspect of advertising that may especially influence children is fantasy.Clue 3结构关系分类列举式段落概述部分概述部分作为插入句：概述一般位

32、heer scale of the investment it took to begin commercial expansion at sea reflects the immensity of the profits that such East-West trade could create.Spices were the most sought-after commodities.Spices not only dramatically improved the taste of the European diet but also were used to manufacture
33、perfumes and certain medicines.But even high-priced commodities like spices had to be transported in large bulk in order to justify the expense and trouble of sailing around the African continent all the way to India and China.They were highly valued for a couple of reasons.The evolution of flight r
34、equired radical alteration in body form,but flight provides many benefits.It enhances hunting and scavenging:many birds exploit flying insects,an abundant,highly nutritious food resource.Flight also provides ready escape from earthbound predators and enables some birds to migrate great distances to
35、utilize different food resources and seasonal breeding areas.The bird that travels farthest in its annual migration is the arctic tern,which flies round-trip between the North Pole and South Pole each year.Analyses of fossilized skeletons support the hypothesis that the closest reptilian relatives of birds were the theropods,a group of relatively small,bipedal carnivorous dinosaurs.Furthermore,migration allows birds to avoid climates that are too hot or too cold during certain season.Thank you for your attention!
