Crashed Cars to Text Message for Help

There is no good place to have a car crash--but some places are worse than others.In a foreign country, for instance, 51 to explain via cell-phone that you are upside down in a ditch when you cannot speak the local language can fatally delay the arrival of the emergency services.But an answer may be at hand.Researchers funded by the European Commission are beginning tests of a system called E-merge that 52 senses when a car has crashed and sends a text message telling emergency services in the local language that the accident has taken place.The system was 53 by ERTICO, a transport research organization based in Brussels, Belgium.Cars are fitted with a cell-phone-sized device attached 54 the underside of the dashboard which is activated by the same sensor that triggers the airbag in a crash.The device 55 a cell-phone circuit, a GPS positioning unit, and a microphone and loudspeaker.It registers the severity of the crash by 56 the deceleration data from the airbag's sensor, Using GPS information, it works out which country the car is in, and from this it determines 57 which language ot compose an alert message detailing precise location of the accident.The device then automatically makes a call to the local emergency services 58 If the car's occupants are conscious, they can communicate with the operator 59 the speaker and microphone.E-merge also transmits the vehicles make, model, color and license number, and its heading when it crashed, which in turn indicates on which side of a multi-lane highway it ended up.This 60 the emergency services find the vehicle as soon as they arrive on the scene, “We can waste a large 61 time searching for an incident,” says Jim Hammond, a(an)62 in vehicle technology at the Association of Chief Police Officers in the UK.Tests will begin soon with police car fleets in the UK.Trials have already started in Germany, Sweden, Spain, the Netherlands and Italy.In-car systems that summon the emergency services after a crash have 63 been fitted in some premium cars.ERTICO says that 64 EU states are willing to fund the necessary infrastructure;E-merge could be working by 2008.A study by French car maker Renault concluded that the system could save up to 6000 fo the 40,000 lives lost each year on Europe's roads, and prevent a similar number of serious in-juries.The Renault study estimates that fitting E-merge to every car in Europe would eventually save around 150 billion per 65 in terms of reduced costs to health services and insurance companies, and fewer lost working days.51 A try B tried C trying D having tried 52

A automatically B accidentally C tremendously D usually 53

A changed B located C developed D copied 54 A by B up C about D to 55

A forms B is consisted of C composes of D includes 56 A read B reading C reads D being read 57 A on B in C of D at 58

A writer B reporter C expert D leader 63

A already B long ago C long before D shortly 64

A although B nevertheless C however D if 65 A city B year C person D country 參考答案: 51 C這個句子的主語、謂語和賓語結(jié)構(gòu)是：trying to explain…＋can fatally delay＋the arrival of…。trying to explain…是動名詞短語在句中充當(dāng)主語。A和B都不符合語法要求，D也不是正確選項，因為句子的內(nèi)容沒有“已經(jīng)試圖解釋……”的意思。52 A本句說的是研究人員在試驗一種能自動感知車禍并向有關(guān)部門傳送車禍信息的先進(jìn)裝置。從意思上判斷，這里只能選A，其他三個選項都不符合句意。53 C從上下文判斷，這套system指的是第二段的正在試驗的車禍感知通報裝置，所以選developed是正確的。其他三個選項都不符合句意。

D attached在這里是動詞的過去分詞作后置定語，修飾a cell-phone—sized device。be attached to：被連接在……上，在這里的意思是“被安裝在……上”。55 D選項A的forms意思不對。選項B的is consisted of用法錯誤，consist of只用主動語態(tài)。選項C的composes of也是用法不對，compose of要用be composed of形式。D是正確答案。56 B這個句子說，裝置通過讀取來自氣囊感應(yīng)器的減速數(shù)據(jù)來記錄翻車事故的嚴(yán)重性。By doing sth．的意思是“通過做……的方法。”read在這里的意思是：to obtain information讀取資料。

B本題必須使用介詞in。…it determines in which language to compose an alert message裝置做出用什么語言來編寫緊急信息的決定。再舉一個例子來解釋in的這種用法：The alert message is composed in Chinese．用中文來編寫緊急信息。58 D從上下文的意思來看，裝置自動打電話給接線員，然后接線員與車內(nèi)人通話。所以應(yīng)該選擇D。

A via的意思是by means of(憑借)，后面往往跟名詞，如：sent the letter via airmail。其他選都不符合句意。60 D從句子的結(jié)構(gòu)看，不能選擇A和B，因為它們的用法是：assist(cause)sth．or sb．To do sth．，而在這個句子里find之前沒有動詞不定式標(biāo)志to。make sb．do的結(jié)構(gòu)中不帶to，但make的意思不符合句意。選項D的helps是答案，因為help的用法是help sb．(to)do。

C a large number of用來修飾可數(shù)名詞，如“a large number of books”；deal常常和great連用，如：a great deal of time。a large(或great)amount of修飾不可數(shù)名詞，所以C是正確選擇。

C從上下文意思判斷，只能選expert。

A根據(jù)句意和時態(tài)，應(yīng)該選擇A。shortly的意思是“很快”。long a9o必須與過去時一起使用，long before應(yīng)該與過去完成時一起使用。

D選項A和B引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句，不符合句子的意思；however不能引導(dǎo)從句；這里應(yīng)該使用條件狀語從句，所以D是正確選項。65 B選項在此意為：每一。save around 150 billion per year每年節(jié)約大約1，500億歐元。從上下文意思判斷，只能選year。

Computers

Before the widespread use of computers, managers could not make full use of large amounts of valuable information about a company's activities.The information either reached managers too late or was too expensive to be used.Today, managers are facing a wide range of data processing and information instruments.In place of a few financial controls, managers can draw on computer-based information systems to control activities in every area of their company.On any kinds of performance measures, the information provided by these systems helps managers compare standards with actual results, find out problems, and take corrective action before it is too late to make changes.The introduction of computerized information systems has sharply changed management control in many companies.Even a neighborhood shopkeeper may now use computers to control sales, billing, and other activities.In large companies, electronic data processing systems monitor entire projects and sets of operations.Now, there are about 24 million microcomputers in use in the United States —— one for every 10 citizens.It is estimated that by 1996, 61 percent of American managers will be using some sort of electronic work station.In order for managers to be sure that the computer-based information they are receiving is accurate, they need to understand how computers work.However, in most cases they do not need to learn how to program computers.Rather, managers should understand how computerized information systems work;how they are developed;their limitations and costs;and the manner in which information systems may be used.Such an understanding is not difficult to achieve.One research found that business firms were more successful in teaching basic information about computers to business graduates than they were in teaching business subjects to computer science graduates.Today, conventional financial controls are still exercised in some minor areas such as billing and vocational training.A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned It is unnecessary for a neighborhood baker to use a computer in his shop

A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned At present about 10% of American citizens possess a microcomputer.A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned One thing that managers do not have to understand is how computers work.A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned In some cases managers have to learn how to write programs so as to work out computerized information systems that suit their own companies best.A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned Computerized firms would rather employ business graduates than computer science graduates because it is easier to train the former into qualified employees.A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned 第3部分：概括大意與完成句子(第23～30題，每題1分，共8分)

第一篇

Ocean Noise Pollution

Some scientists say that animals in the ocean are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings.The noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities.It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines.Such noises are added to natural sounds.These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves.Decibels(分貝)measured in water are different from those measured on land.A noise of one hundred-twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears.In water, a decibel level of one-hundred ninety-five would have the same effect.Some scientists have proposed setting a noise limit of one-hundred-twenty decibels in.oceans.They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales(鯨魚).A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals.The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing.This seriously affected the whales' ability to exchange information and find their way.Some of the whales even died.The explosions had caused their ears to bleed(出血)and become infected(感染).Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds object to a limit of one-hundred-twenty decibels.They say such a limit is a greater danger than they believed.They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean.31 According to the passage, which of the following is increasingly dangerous to sea creatures?

A The sound of a car.B The sound of voices.C Man-made noise pollution.D The sound of steps.32 According to the passage, natural sounds include all of the following EXCEPT__________.A sounds made by animals themselves.B ocean drilling.C underwater earthquakes.D the breaking of ice fields.，33 Which of the following is discussed in the third paragraph?

A The same noise level produces a different effect on land and in the ocean.B Different places may have different types of noises.C The decibel is not a suitable unit for measuring underwater noise.D Different ocean animals may have different reactions to noises.34 Which of the following is true of whales?

A They won't be confused by noises.B They are deaf to noises.C Their ability to reproduce will be lowered by high-level noises.D Their hearing will be damaged by high-level noises.35 According to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future?

A They will work hard to reduce ocean noise pollution.B They will protect animals from harmful noises.C They will try to set a limit of 120 decibels.D They will study the effect of ocean noise pollution.第二篇

Lifetime Employment in Japanese Companies

In most large Japanese companies, there is a policy of lifetime employment.What this means is that when people leave school or university to join an enterprise, they can expect to remain with that organization until they retire.In effect, the employee gets job security for life, and can only be fired for serious mistakes in work.Even in times of business recession, he or she is free from the fear of being laid off.One result of this practice is that the Japanese worker identifies closely with his company and feels strong loyalty to it.By working hard for the company, he believes he is safeguarding his own future.It is not surprising that devotion to one's company is considered a great virtue in Japan.A man is often prepared to put his firm's interests before those of his immediate family.The job security guaranteed by this system influences the way employees approach their work.They tend to think in terms of what they can achieve throughout their career.This is because they are not judged on how they are performing during a short period of time.They can afford to, take a longer perspective than their Western counterparts.This marriage between the employee and the companymay explain why Japanese workers seem positively to love the products their company is producing and why they are willing to stay on after work, for little overtime pay, to participate in earnest discussions about the quality control of their products.36 Lifetime employment in the Japanese company means that the employee__________.A leaves his company only when business is bad.B gets a job soon after he leaves school or university.C can work there throughout his career，D can have his serious mistakes in work corrected.37 Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?

A Family and company interests are equally important

B The Japanese worker is very loyal to his company.C One's future is guaranteed through hard work.D Devotion to one's company is encouraged……

Lifetime employment influences one's__________.A achievements at work.B performance at work.C career options.D attitude toward work.39 The Japanese worker is fond of his company's products because of__________.A his marriage with the daughter of the president.B the close link between him and his company.C his willingness to work overtime.D his active participation in quality control，40 The passage mainly discusses__________.A how lifetime employment works in Japan.B what benefits lifetime employment has brought to Japanese workers.C what lifetime employment is.D how lifetime employment is viewed.第三篇

Dreams of Flight

The story of man's dream of flight, of his desire to reach the stars, is as old as mankind itself.According to Greek legend, Daedalus was the first man to fly.He and his son had been kept on an island.In order to escape, Daedalus shaped wings of wax(2)into which he stuck bird feathers.During their flight, his son flew too high and the sun melted the wax.He was drowned in the sea.The father was supposed to have continued his flight and reached Sicily, several hundred miles away.There is also an English legend of King Bladud who, during his rule in the ninth century B.C., used wings to fly.But his flight was short-lived and he fell to his death.The dream of flying continued, but in all the legends, the flier rose like a bird only to fall like a stone.It took hundreds of years that men flew up into the air and returned to earth safely.The first man to approach flying on a scientific basis was an Englishman who lived during the thirteenth century.He looked at the air about us as a sea, and he believed that a balloon could float on the air just as a boat did on water.Almost four hundred years later, an Italian priest applied his principle of air flight.He designed a boat, which would be held in the air by four hollow spheres(空心球).ach of the four balls was to be 20 feet in diameter(直徑)and made of very thin copper.But his boat was never built since it was not possible to make spheres of such thin metal and such size in those days.After studying the flight of birds and the movement of the air, a great scientist of the fifteenth century concluded that birds flew because they flapped(擺動)their wings and that it was possible for man to do the same.So a kind of flapping-wing flying machine was invented.Many men tried and failed to fly with flying machines.It was not until 1890 that people discovered why this method would never succeed-man could not develop sufficient power with his arms and legs.41 How did Daedalus manage to escape to Sicily, according to the passage?

A He killed the guards and got out of the island.B A god came to rescue him and took him away.C His son came to rescue him and took him away.D He made wings of wax and flew away from the island.42 According to the English legend, King Bladud lost his life because__________.A he flew too far.B he flew too high.C he fell to the ground，D he was hit by a stone.43 The first scientific air flight was designed by__________.A a Greek.B an Englishman.C a Chinese.D an Italian.44 The priest failed to build the boat because__________.A he could not raise enough money.B his design was not scientific.C he could not find enough copper.D copper spheres could not be made as designed

According to the last paragraph, man could not fly with flapping-wing flying machines because__________.A he could not develop adequate power with his arms and legs.B he knew nothing about the movement of the air.C they were made of heavy metal.D they were made of light feathers.第5部分：補(bǔ)全短文(第46～50題，每題2分，共10分)

The Building of the Pyramids

The oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids.__________(46)There are over eighty of them scattered along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids.The most famous of these are the “Step” pyramid and the “Bent” pyramid.Some of the pyramids still look much the same as they must have done when they were built thousands of years ago.Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modern buildings.__________(47).These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last for ever.__________(48).However, there are no writings or pictures to show us how the Egyptians planned or built the pyramids themselves.__________(49)

Nevertheless, by examining the actual pyramids and various tools Which have been found, archaeologists have formed a fairly clear picture of them.One thing is certain: there must have been months of careful planning before they could begin to build.__________(50)You may think this would have been easy with miles and miles of empty desert around, but a pyramid could not be built just anywhere.Certain rules had to be followed, and certain problems had to be overcome.A The dry climate of Egypt has helped to preserve the pyramids, and their very shape have made them less likely to fall into ruin.B It is practically certain that plans were made for the building of the pyramids because the plans of other large works have fortunately been preserved.C The first thing they had to do was to choose a suitable place.D Consequently, we are only able to guess at the methods used.E Many people were killed while building the pyramids.F They have stood for nearly 5,000 years, and it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet.第6部分：完形填空(第51～65題，每題1分，共15分)

Transportation

For many years in the desert, camels Used to be the only form of transportation(運輸).Before the(51)of modern trains, camel trains used to carry all the goods for trading between Central Africa and Europe.Traders sometimes(52)to put together camel trains with 10,000 to 15,000 animals.Each animal often carried(53)400 pounds and could travel twenty miles a day.This form of transportation was so important that camels were called the “ships of the(54).”

Now modern trains travel across the desert in a very(55)time.One engine can pull as much weight as 135,000(56).In addition, trains use special cars for their load.Refrigerator cars carry food;boxcars carry heavy goods;stock cars carry animals;and tank cars carry oil.Air travel has changed, too.The earliest planes were biplanes(雙翼飛機(jī)), with(57)sets of wings.The top speed of this plane was 60 miles per hour.The pilots used to sit or lie on the wings in the open air.The plane(58)sometimes stopped in the middle of a trip.It used to be(59)to fly in bad weather.In snow or in rain, the wings frequently became icy.Then the plane might go down.Mechanical improvements during the First World War changed airplanes.Monoplanes(單翼飛機(jī))took the(60)of biplanes.Pilots flew inside of covered cabins.Still, even these planes were small and expensive.Only(61)people were be able to travel in airplanes.Now modern jets make air travel possible for all people.No place in the world is more than 24 hours away by jet.Further improvements have(62)the cost of flying, and they have made air travel(63)safer than it used to be.A modern 707 can carry 170 people and can fly at 600 miles per hour.People(64)used to eat, sleep, or watch movies on airplanes.(65)these things are a normal part of air travel!

1．A but B if C though D while 2．A personality B movement C emotions D will 3．A privately B usefully C awfully D personally 4．A looked for B looked at C looked after D looked up 5．A favorite B trustful C boring D annoying 6．A with B on C by D at 7．A professors B participants C assistants D scientists 8．A group B class C section D part 9．A Previously B Formally C Initially D Finally 10．A remember B explain C rewrite D complete 11．A sad B secure C shy D angry 12．A your B our C his D their 13．A accident B harm C experience D model 14．A eating B exchanging C buying D keeping 15．A expressions B estimation C cooperation D connections 答案與題解：

1．A 本句前半句說土豆泥、通心粉等對血管有害（bad），后半句說這些食物對心臟有利（good）。很明顯，前半句與后半句意思相反，所以要選轉(zhuǎn)折連接詞but加以連接。

2．C 根據(jù)常識判斷，吃土豆泥不會對personality（性格）movement（移動）或will（意志力）產(chǎn)生有利影響。隨后的文章，多處提到吃爽心食品（comfort food）有助于排解孤獨感。所以，選emotions是正確的。

3．D 本題的答案是personally。For me personally（就我個人而言）與下文的意思很連貫。privately（私下地）、usefully（有用地）或awftilly（可怕地）與下文的意思搭不上，所以不會是答案。

4．B 本題的答案是looked at。“l(fā)ooked at non-human things”相當(dāng)于“studied（研究）non-human things”，與上下文的意思很匹配。looked for（尋找）、looked after（照顧）和looked up（查找）與下文的意思搭配不上。

5．A 本句的意思是：人們?yōu)榱伺沤夤陋毟校３０炎约汉碗娨晞　⒘餍懈枨枋值鹊嚷?lián)系起來。選項中有四個形容詞，應(yīng)該選哪一個形容詞去修飾TV shows呢？應(yīng)該選褒義的形容詞：favorite（喜愛的）或trustful（可信任的）。但對電視劇來說談不上信任的問題。favorite最合理，是本題答案。

6．C 上一句說到，人們?yōu)榱伺沤夤陋毟校３０炎约汉拖矏鄣碾娨晞　⒘餍懈枨枋值嚷?lián)系起來。于是Troisi和Gabriel想，通過吃爽心食品讓他們想起親近的人，是不是也能產(chǎn)生同樣的排解孤獨感的效果呢？四個介詞中只有by的詞義是“通過”。其余三個介詞在詞義上都不合適。

7．B 選professors（教授）、assistants（助手）或scientists（科學(xué)家）不合常理，科學(xué)家選實驗對象時不會選他們。participants（參與者）是本題的答案。

8．A 本題應(yīng)該選group，備每一組的參與者。用class（班級）、section（部門）或part（部分）在意義上顯然都不合適。

9．D 本段敘述試驗的幾個步驟。第一步要一部分受試者描寫與親人的爭斗，其他受試者寫情感上中性的話題。第二步（文中用then加以連接）將上述兩組受試者中的每一組再一分為二，一些人描寫吃爽心食品的經(jīng)歷，另一些人描寫吃新食品的經(jīng)歷。接下來應(yīng)該是第三步了。從四個選項中尋找，只有Finally最合適，原來第三步就是最后一步了。

10．D 實驗的最后一步是受試者被要求書面回答10個問題。complete是答案。要求他們remember（記住）、delete（刪除）或rewrite（重寫）questions都不合乎邏輯。

11．B 與親近的人爭吵會引發(fā)孤獨感，但是，一般來說，人們的關(guān)系若是通常處于什么狀態(tài)，通過寫出他們吃爽心食品的經(jīng)歷會降低他們的孤獨感呢？一定不會是sad，shy或angry，答案應(yīng)該是secure（穩(wěn)定的）。

12．D 修飾essays的所有格代詞在人稱與數(shù)上要與they一致，所以their是答案。

13．C “eating food with family and friends”是一種experience（經(jīng)歷），不會是一個accident（事故）、harm（危害）或model（樣式）。很明顯，experience是本題的答案。

14．A 文章中幾次提到吃爽心食品有助于緩解孤獨感，所以本題選eating是很自然的。其他三個選項，exchanging（交換）、buying（買）或keeping（保留）若填入句子中，與后面的賓語chicken soup in the lab連用，意思上說不通。

15．D 本題的答案是connections。其他三個選項在意思上都不合適。

第九篇Wonder Webs

Spider webs are more than homes, and they are ingenious traps.And the world’s best web spinner may be the Golden Orb Weaver spider.The female Orb Weaver spins a web of fibers thin enough to be invisible to insect prey, yet____1____ enough to snare a flying bird without breaking.The secret of the web’s strength? A type of super-resilient____2____ called dragline.When the female spider is ready to____3____ the web’s spokes and frame, she uses her legs to draw the airy thread out through a hollow nozzle in her belly.Dragline is not sticky, so the spider can race back and forth along____4____ to spin the web’s trademark spiral.Unlike some spiders that weave a new web every day, a Golden Orb Weaver____5____ her handiwork until it falls apart, sometimes not for two years1.The silky thread is five times stronger than steel by weight and absorbs the force of an impact three times better than Kevlar, a high-strength human-made____6____used in bullet-proof vests.And thanks to its high tensile strength, or the ability to resist breaking under the pulling force called tension, a single strand can stretch up to 40 percent longer than its original____7____and snap back as well as new.No human-made fiber even comes____8____.It is no____9____ manufacturers are clamoring for spider silk.In the consumer pipeline: high-performance fabrics for athletes and stockings that never run2.Think parachute cords and suspension bridge cables.A steady____10____ of spider silk would be worth billions of dollars — but how to produce it? Harvesting silk on spider farms does not____11____ because the territorial arthropods have a tendency to devour their neighbors.Now, scientists at the biotechnology company Nexia are spinning artificial silk modeled after Golden Orb dragline.The____12____ step: extract silk-making genes from the spiders.Next, implant trie genes into goat egg cells.The nanny goats that grow from the eggs secrete dragline silk proteins in their____13____.“The young goats pass on the silk-making gene without____14____ help from us,” says Nexia president Jeffrey Turner.Nexia is still perfecting the spinning process，but they hope artificial spider silk will soon be snagging customers____15____ the real thing snags bugs.詞匯：

1．A flying bird飛入蜘蛛網(wǎng)時有股沖力，網(wǎng)線堅韌才能捕捉到它，所以選tough。本句中的without breaking也指示選tough。

2．B 英語中蜘蛛網(wǎng)絲是spider silk。見第三段、第四段分別出現(xiàn)的silky thread和spider silk。

3．D 本句說蜘蛛織網(wǎng)的機(jī)制和過程，所以選weave。而且，這種蜘蛛就叫Golden Orb Weaver。

4．C 從上下文判斷，along之后接的是the dragline,其代詞應(yīng)為it。

5．D 本句說Golden Orb Weaver與某些種類的蜘蛛不同，它不用每天織新網(wǎng)，只要網(wǎng)不破，就能一直使用下去，有時一用兩年，所以選reuses。

6．C 本句將Golden Orb Weaver蜘蛛網(wǎng)的牢度和張度與防彈衣材料Kevlar對比，說明該蜘蛛網(wǎng)堅韌的程度。填入的詞應(yīng)該是Kevlar的同位語，Kevlar是一種材料，所以選material。

7．B 除了上下文的意思要求填length之外，本句中的用詞stretch和longer都指示要用length。

8．A come后面可接形容詞。come close意為“接近”。come well，come open，come awake都能搭配，但意思與上下文不符。

9．C It is no wonder（that）是“不足為奇，十分自然”的意思。只有選wonder意思才連貫。

10．B 從意義上判斷，a steady supply是正確的選擇。shipment（運送）、run（運轉(zhuǎn)）或exchange（交換）的意思與上下文配不上。

11．D 上下文的意思要求用“起作用”這個詞，英語work在本句的詞義是“起作用”。

12．C 下一句是以next開始的。有next，前面很可能有first之類表次序的詞。

13．A 常識告訴我們，把dragline silk proteins分泌在milk里，才容易分離出來，所以選meat，lungs或muscle都是不合常理的。

14．B 在without之后要用any，—般不用some。英語不說without no...，many不能修飾help。

15．A 本題只能選as fast as。若選B、C或D，意思與上下文不符。

第六篇Car Thieves Could Be Stopped Remotely

Speeding off1 in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch2.But he is in a nasty3 surprise.The car is fitted with a remote immobilizer, and a radio signal from a control center miles away will ensure that once the thief switches the engine____1____ , he will not be able to start it again.For now, such devices____2____ only available for fleets of trucks4 and specialist vehicles used on construction sites.But remote immobilization technology could soon start to trickle down to ordinary cars5，and____3____ be available to ordinary cars in the UK____4____ two months.The idea goes like this.A control box fitted to the car incorporates6____5____ miniature cellphone, a microprocessor and memory, and a GPS7 satellite positioning receiver.____6____ the car is stolen, a coded cellphone signal will tell the unit to block the vehicle’s engine management system and prevent the engine____7____ restarted.There are even plans for immobilizers____8____ shut down vehicles on the move8, though there are fears over the safety implications of such a system.In the UK, an array of9 technical fixes10 is already making____9____ harder for car thieves.“The pattern of vehicles crime has changed,” says Martyn Randall of Thatcham, a security research organization based in Berkshire11 that is funded in part____10____ the motor insurance industry.He says it would only take him a few minutes to____11____ a novice how to steal a car, using a bare minimum of tools12.But only if the car is more than 10 years old.Modern cars are a far tougher proposition13, as their engine management computer will not____12____ them to start unless they receive a unique ID code beamed out14 by the iginition key.In the UK, technologies like this____13____ achieve a 31 per cent drop in vehicle-related crime15 since 1997.But determined criminals are still managing to find other ways to steal cars.Often by getting hold of the owner’s keys in a burglary.In 2000, 12 per cent of vehicles stolen in the UK were

taken by using the owner’s keys, which doubles the previous year’s figure.Remote-controlled immobilization system would____14____ a major new obstacle in the criminal’s way by making such thefts pointless.A group that includes Thatcham, the police, insurance companies and security technology firms have developed standards for a system that could go on the market sooner than the____15____ expects.詞匯：

immobilizer n.使車輛不能調(diào)動的裝置 cellphone n.移動電話，手機(jī) ignition n.點火 trickle v.慢慢移動

immobilization n.使車輛不能調(diào)動 burglary n.夜竊行為;盜竊 注釋：

D specialist 答案與題解：

1.A 該段主要是說，如果車被盜，只要發(fā)出無線電信號，remote immobilizer就能使被盜車一旦停下就無法再啟動。因此，應(yīng)選擇A。如選擇B，switches the engine on(發(fā)動引擎)句子意思便不符合文章內(nèi)容。C和D與switch不搭配。

2.D devices是復(fù)數(shù)形式，描述的也是目前的事情，所以應(yīng)使用be的現(xiàn)在時復(fù)數(shù)形式are。

3.D 該句說，這種遙控技術(shù)很快就會開始一點一點地用于普通汽車。然后作者推斷，在兩個月后這種技術(shù)就能用于英國的汽車。A是錯誤選項，因為該句前面用了could表示委婉的推斷，在此不會用can;B和C與意思不符，should也是表示推斷。

4.C 從搭配上來看，可以選擇B和C，但是從意思上來看，必須選擇C。for two months：已經(jīng)有兩個月了;in two months：兩個月后。不能選擇A,因為不符合英語表達(dá)習(xí)慣。又如：They will graduate in one year.他們一年后畢業(yè)。

5.C 這里應(yīng)該使用不定冠詞，而且miniature cellphone后面的并列定語都使用不定冠詞。不能選擇an，因它后面的名詞由輔音開頭。

6.B 從語法結(jié)構(gòu)來看，這里應(yīng)選擇引導(dǎo)狀語從句的連詞，其他選項都會造成結(jié)構(gòu)錯誤。而且，If正符合句子的意思。

7.B prevent sth.(from)doing是固定用法，restart這里要用被動語態(tài)being restarted，所以應(yīng)選擇B。

8.C 從句子的結(jié)構(gòu)來看，這里需要一個關(guān)系代詞引導(dǎo)定語從句。關(guān)系代詞的先行詞immobilizers是物不是人，所以只能用that，不能用who。

9.A 在四個選項中，B、C和D顯然不符合文章的意思。這里作者要表達(dá)的意思是：使……日子難過，所以應(yīng)選擇A。

10.C be funded是被動語態(tài)，空格后面是名詞短語，從句子的意思來判斷，這個名詞短語是動作fund的執(zhí)行者，是謂語動詞動作邏輯上的主語，所以必須使用by來引導(dǎo)這個名詞短語。

11.D 這個句子結(jié)構(gòu)是：to take sb.time to do sth.。從意思上判斷，句子的意思應(yīng)該是：他說只要花幾分鐘就能教會一個新手如何偷盜汽車。所以，D是答案。use，inform和ask都不能與how to結(jié)構(gòu)搭配。

12.B them后跟著to，所以首先排除A和C(let sb.do sth.)。句子的意思不允許選D。...will not allow them to start...：……不允許它們啟動。

13.A 句子后面的時間狀語由since引導(dǎo)，所以句子應(yīng)該使用現(xiàn)在完成時。

14.D 從obstacle in the criminal’s way這個名詞短語看出，應(yīng)選擇D，構(gòu)成put obstacle in sb.’s way(給某人設(shè)置障礙)這種固定用法。

15.C 前面有g(shù)o on the market，預(yù)期的人應(yīng)該是customer。當(dāng)然，specialist，doctor或lawyer也可以預(yù)期，但總不及customer那么自然。

譯文：遠(yuǎn)程制止偷車賊

超速駕駛在偷來的汽車?yán)铮弟囐\以為自己大獲全勝。但是他馬上就會又驚又惱。車上已經(jīng)被裝了遠(yuǎn)程制動裝置，一個幾英里以外的控制中心發(fā)來的無線信號將確保盜賊一旦啟動引擎，他就不能再次發(fā)動汽車了。目前，這種裝置只用于卡車隊或者用于建筑工地的特殊車輛上。但是遠(yuǎn)程制動技術(shù)很快就會逐步應(yīng)用到普通汽車上。并且應(yīng)該在兩個月之內(nèi)用在英國的普通汽車上。

計劃是這樣的。把一個集合有微型無繩電話，微量處理器，存儲器以及全球定位系統(tǒng)的衛(wèi)星接收器的控制盒子安裝在汽車上。如果汽車被盜，一個被編碼的無繩電話信號就會告訴這個裝置停止車輛引擎控制系統(tǒng)來阻止弓I擎再次被啟動。

甚至還有一些人主張計劃將制動裝置裝在運行著的車輛上，可是這樣一來人們就會擔(dān)心這個系統(tǒng)的安全性。在英國，二系列的技術(shù)裝置已經(jīng)讓盜車賊步履維艱了。瑪丁蘭多來自位于貝克郡的一個由汽車保險工業(yè)投資成立的名為撒策姆的安全研究機(jī)構(gòu)，他說，“車輛盜竊的手法已經(jīng)有所改變。”他還聲稱只要是10年以上的汽車，他就能用幾樣簡單的工具在幾分鐘之內(nèi)教會一個新手怎樣偷車。

現(xiàn)代車卻遠(yuǎn)沒有這么簡單，因為它們的引擎管理計算機(jī)裝置只有接收到一個獨一無二的由點火鑰匙發(fā)送過來的身份密碼才可以啟動汽車。自1997年以來，在英國，技術(shù)人員已經(jīng)利用此項技術(shù)幫助減少了31%的涉及車輛犯罪案。但是不死心的盜賊們卻還在一直想方設(shè)法偷車。例如很多時候，他們在夜里盜走主人的汽車鑰匙進(jìn)而偷車。在2000年，英國12%的車輛被盜案是由于主人的鑰匙被盜，這個數(shù)字比前一年增長了1倍。

遠(yuǎn)程控制的制動系統(tǒng)給盜賊設(shè)置了一個全新的障礙。包括撒策姆、公安部門、保險公司以及安全技術(shù)公司在內(nèi)的一個群體已經(jīng)為體系開發(fā)出了一些標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，它們將比顧客所預(yù)期的更早地被推廣到市場上。

第七篇An Intelligent Car

Driving needs sharp eyes, keen ears, quick brain, and coordination between hands and the brain.Many human drivers have all ____1____ and can control a fast-moving car.But how does an intelligent car control itself?

There is a virtual driver1 in the smart car.This virtual driver1 has “eyes”, “brains”, “hands” and “feet”, too.The minicameras ____2____ each side of the car are his “eyes”, which observe the road conditions ahead of it.They watch the ____3____ to the car’s left and right.There is also a highly ____4____ driving system in the car.It is the built-in computer, which is the virtual driver’s “brain”.His “brain” calculates the speeds of ____5____ moving cars near it and analyzes

their positions.Basing on this information2, it chooses the right ____6____ for the intelligent car, and gives ____7____ to the “hands” and “feet” to act accordingly.In this way, the virtual driver controls his car.What is the virsual driver’s best advantage3? He reacts ____8____.The minicameras are ____9____ images continuously to the “brain.” It ____10____ the processing of the images within 100 milliseconds.However.the world’s best driver ____11____ needs one second to react.____12____, when he takes action, he needs one more second.The virtual driver is really wonderful.He can reduce the accident ____13____ considerably on expressways.In this case, can we let him have the wheel4 at any time and in any place? Experts ____14____ that we cannot do that5 just yet6.His ability to recognize things is still ____15____.He can now only drive an intelligent car on expressways.詞匯：

coordination n.協(xié)調(diào)，協(xié)同 virtual adj.虛擬的 minicamera n.微型相機(jī) accordingly adv.相應(yīng)地 millisecond n.毫秒 expressway n.高速公路 注釋：

1.virtual driver：虛擬駕駛員

2.Basing on this information：基于這些信息。Basing on this information是現(xiàn)在分詞短語，用作狀語。

3.best advantage：最大的優(yōu)點

4.have the wheel：掌握方向盤，也就是“駕駛汽車”的意思。

5.that：that替代上一句的“l(fā)et him have the wheel at any time and in any place”。

6.just yet：迄今還。yet意為“迄今還”，常用于否定句中。just修飾yet，起強(qiáng)調(diào)的作用。練習(xí)：

C untested

D limited 答案與題解：

1.A 第一句提到的是eyes，ears，brain等，指示代詞應(yīng)該用復(fù)數(shù)形式的these，不能選this

或that。選them也不對，因為all them不符合習(xí)慣用法，正確的說法是all of them。

2.D side前面要求用介詞on。

3.B 選項B中traffic的意思是“流動的車輛”，是本題的答案。police(警察)、trucks(重型卡車)和buses(公共汽車)表達(dá)的意思都是路況的一部分，顯然與現(xiàn)實不符。

4.C 從上下文判斷，本句的意思應(yīng)該是高度自動化的駕駛系統(tǒng)，所以答案是automatic。其余三個選項(mechanical機(jī)械的、movable可移動的、electronic電子的)表達(dá)的意思與上下文配不上。

5.B 從下文判斷，本句說的是“其他流動的車輛”，所以要選用other。another意為“另一個”，each other和one another都是“互相”的意思，與上下文表達(dá)的意思相去甚遠(yuǎn)。

6.D 上下文的意思要求選path(路徑)。line(線路)、lane(車道)和track(車轍)，意思雖與path接近，但是講不通。

7.C 本句前半句說的是電腦選定了路徑，接下來自然是“……給‘手’發(fā)出指令(instructions)，‘手’就做出相應(yīng)的動作”。所以，C是答案。space，locations，time的詞義與上下文的意思銜接不上。

8.A 通段講的是虛擬駕駛員的反應(yīng)速度，所以只能選quickly。

9.C bring是“帶來”，take是“帶走，接受(命令)”，send是“發(fā)送(命令)”，carry是“攜帶”。從上下文判斷，應(yīng)該是“...sending images continuously to the ‘brain’”。

10.B 前一句說的是微型攝像機(jī)將圖像送入電腦，接下來的意思應(yīng)該是電腦處理圖像，完成處理圖像所需的時間為100毫秒。根據(jù)上下文表達(dá)的意思，應(yīng)該選B。

11.A 本句的起始詞是However，表示本句的意思與上一句的意思形成對比。上一句說電腦完成圖像處理只需100毫秒，第二句說，最好的駕駛員處理的時間要長得多，應(yīng)該是at least rieeds one second。所以，A是答案。

12.C 上一句說，最好的駕駛員至少需要1秒鐘的時間才能完成圖像處理。本句進(jìn)一步說，他做出動作還需1秒鐘的時間，這兩句的意思是層層深入，所以要選C。

13.D 根據(jù)上下文判斷，此處要表達(dá)的應(yīng)該是“事故率”。rate是“比率”，所以答案是D。count(計數(shù))、amount(數(shù)量)、digit(0～9中任何一個阿拉伯?dāng)?shù)字)都不對。

14.A can we let him have the wheel at any time and in any place?”涉及交通安全、人命關(guān)天的問題，都談不上什么“邀請(invite)”、“建議(suggest)”、“檢查(check)”。所以，答案只能是warn(警告)。

15.D 本句是給出目前不能let smart car have the wheel at any time and in any place的原因。原因是它的能力limited(有限)。對smart car的能力一無所知(unknown)或是沒有測試過 11

(untested)，顯然與前文的意思不符。few只能與可數(shù)名詞搭配，ability在本句中是不可數(shù)名詞，所以few也不是答案。

譯文：智能汽車

開車需要目光銳利，耳朵靈敏，反應(yīng)敏捷和手腦間的協(xié)作。許多人類司機(jī)這些條件都具備，并可控制一輛急速行駛的汽車。但一輛智能車如何進(jìn)行自控? 智能車中有一位虛擬駕駛員。這位司機(jī)同樣有“眼”有“腦”有“手”有“腳”。車兩側(cè)的微型攝像頭就是他的眼，負(fù)責(zé)觀察車前方的路況。他們注意著車兩側(cè)的交通情況。車中也有高度自動化的駕駛系統(tǒng)。這就是內(nèi)置的電腦，也就是虛擬司機(jī)的大腦。這個大腦計算出車近旁正在運動車輛的速度，并分析它們的位置。基于這些信息，它為智能車選擇最佳路徑，并給出指示以讓手腳做出相應(yīng)運動。通過這樣的方式，虛擬司機(jī)就對車輛實行了控制。

虛擬司機(jī)的最大優(yōu)點是什么?他的反應(yīng)速度很快。微型攝像頭不斷向大腦發(fā)送圖像數(shù)據(jù)。他完成圖像處理的時間為100毫秒。然而，世界上最優(yōu)秀的人類司機(jī)也至少需要1 秒鐘的反應(yīng)時間。當(dāng)他作出行動時，又多需一秒。

虛擬司機(jī)的確很棒。在高速公路上，他可大大減少事故發(fā)生率。鑒于此，我們是否可以讓他在任何時間任何地點都駕駛汽車呢?專家們警告說我們現(xiàn)在還不能這樣做。智能 車辨別事物的能力還很有限。目前，這種車只能在高速公路上行駛。

譯文：庫克船長弓箭的傳說

這本是個絕妙的傳說，但DNA測試最終結(jié)束了這個長達(dá)兩個世紀(jì)之久的古老故事。傳說是關(guān)于一支據(jù)說是用1779年在桑偉奇群島死去的英國探險家船長詹姆士庫克的遺骨刻成的夏威夷弓箭。

在不久前DNA 證據(jù)宣布該弓箭并非來自于庫克船長的遺骨時，奧大利亞博物館收藏經(jīng)理尤大書?菲利普說：“澳大利亞博物館里并沒有庫克的遺骨。”但這并不能停止博物館在展覽會 2

上展出弓箭。“考古發(fā)現(xiàn)：澳大利亞博物館的寶藏”展覽中的確還展示了一個在1778年夏威夷國王卡蘭尼歐普送給庫克的一個羽毛斗篷。

庫克是英國最偉大探險家之一，他在1770年發(fā)現(xiàn)了“南大陸”，也就是現(xiàn)在的澳大利亞。此后在桑偉奇群島被棒擊致死。

庫克弓箭傳說始于1824年，當(dāng)時夏威夷國王卡莫哈莫哈在彌留之際將弓箭賜給了庫克妻子的親戚，一名倫敦外科醫(yī)生威廉正當(dāng)斯，并告訴他弓箭是在那次致命毆打后用庫克的遺骨做成的。

在19世紀(jì)90年代，弓箭被交給澳大理亞博物館。這個傳說直到與科學(xué)直接接觸才停止。據(jù)菲利普說，澳大利亞和新西蘭的試驗室的DNA測試證實弓箭并非取材于庫克的遺骨，而更可能來自動物的骨頭。

但是，庫克迷們卻不肯放棄希望。他們期待庫克傳說之一將會被證明是正確，并且他人部分遺骨還會被發(fā)現(xiàn)。正如他們所說，有證據(jù)表明庫克的遺骨并不是在1779年全都葬身大海了。庫克船長協(xié)會的會長克利夫托馬森在一個來自英國的聲明中說：“在這個問題上，科技取得了勝利。我堅信某一天庫克傳說之一將會被證明是真的。”

這聽起來完全不對——在一塊木頭里面鉆些洞讓它更耐敲打。但是這確實有效，因為擊打產(chǎn)生的能量分散到了整塊木頭上，而不是集中于一個薄弱點。這個發(fā)展應(yīng)該導(dǎo)致更有效和更輕的包裝材料的產(chǎn)生。

木匠們幾個世紀(jì)以來都知道一些木頭比另一些更結(jié)實。例如山胡桃木被用做斧柄和輪輻，因為它可以承受振擊而不會斷裂。列如白橡木容易損壞得多，盡管它的質(zhì)地一樣細(xì)密。巴斯大學(xué)的Julian Vincent和他的研究小組都認(rèn)為木頭的內(nèi)部結(jié)構(gòu)能夠解釋這些不同。

許多樹都有導(dǎo)管，這些導(dǎo)管通向樹干上方，把水輸?shù)饺~子。在橡木里，這些管道很大，而且是呈窄帶狀，但是在山胡桃木中這些管道小得多，而且分布得更平均。研究者們認(rèn)為這個布局能夠分散打擊的能量到整塊木頭止，以此吸收較重的打擊。為了測試這個理論，他們在一塊沒有管道的云杉木上鉆了一些0.65毫米的洞，發(fā)現(xiàn)它能夠承受重大的打擊。只有當(dāng)每平方厘米超過30個孔時，木頭抵御敲打的表現(xiàn)才會減弱。均勻的物質(zhì)不太好抵御敲打，因為受到影響的只有一小部分物質(zhì)，來自打擊的所有能量在折斷材料時都集中在一兩個地方，留下的散片常常沒有受到破壞。

Vincent說，這些洞可以提供很多薄弱點，當(dāng)它們破裂時一起吸收能量，而不是使能量聚在一個地方。“你可以控制木頭斷裂的地方，它還可以吸收更多的能量，更安全。” 研究人員相信，這個原則可用于任何一種材料，例如可用于制造更輕、保護(hù)力更強(qiáng)的包裝物。斯圖加特的Max Plank金屬研究學(xué)院的Ulrike Wegst說，這一原則還可用在汽車的減震器、保護(hù)杠和軍事車輛的裝甲板等東西上。但是她強(qiáng)調(diào)說你需要設(shè)計材料時考慮力的方向。她說：“負(fù)荷的方向是很關(guān)鍵的。”

第二篇Avalanche and Its Safety

An avalanche is a sudden and rapid flow of snow, often mixed with air and water, down a mountainside.Avalanches are____1____ the biggest dangers in the mountains for both life and property.All avalanches are caused by an over-burden of material, typically snowpack, that is too massive and unstable for the slope____2____ supports it.Determining the critical load, the amount of over-burden which is____3____ cause an avalanche, ____4____ acomplex task involving the evaluation of a number of factors.Terrain slopes flatter than25degrees or steeper than60degrees typically have a low

1.A 表“雪崩是山上可能發(fā)生的最大危險之一”的意思，因此應(yīng)該選擇among(在……之中)。

2.B 從該句的語法結(jié)構(gòu)上來看，此處需要一個關(guān)系代詞，代替slope，所以that是最佳選擇。選項A、C、D均不符合語法。

3.B 選項A不合語法，C和D符合語法，但不符合常識：過度的雪的積壓可能導(dǎo)致雪崩，而不是必定導(dǎo)致雪崩。所以，B是最佳答案。

4.C 該句的主語是Determining the critical load，從上下文來看應(yīng)該使用一般現(xiàn)在時，所以C是正確答案。

5.C 要確定本題答案的一個有效的方法是排除法。a low weight/form work of avalanche都不合邏輯，只有a low risk of avalanche符合上下文的意思。下面的句子解釋了low risk of avalanche的道理，更證實了選risk是正確的。

6.D 第6題和第7題可以一起考慮。整個句子的意思是：在較陡峭的坡面上，雪不會大量堆積。在較為平坦的坡面，雪不會輕易滑動。

7.B 見注釋6。

8.B 理解了句子的意思就不難判斷選項：雪在靜止?fàn)顟B(tài)下，角度在35° ~45°之間，最可能發(fā)生人為觸發(fā)的雪崩。between：在……之間。

9.C 這個句子說明的是什么樣的山坡最易發(fā)生雪崩，即A slope that is flat enough to hold snow but steep enough to ski。flat在此作“平坦”解，與后面的steep形成反義。

10.A 句中的that is表明，后半部分是對前半部分的進(jìn)一步說明。所以，這里的選擇要根據(jù)下文的意思判斷。use是最佳選擇,整個句子的意思是：山坡被滑雪者使用得越多，雪崩就越有可能發(fā)生。

11.D 盡管選項A、B和D都能和continuous搭配，從全段的內(nèi)容判斷，只有process是最佳選擇，因為該段描寫的是如何防備雪崩以及如何做好安全措施等一系列問題。

12.A 選項A、B、C都可以與weather搭配，但是根據(jù)上下文，只有A最為符合文章的內(nèi)容。

13.B 選項A不符合句子的意思;C不能和risk搭配;D也不符合句子的意思，因為不可能完全消除雪崩的隱患。

14.C 該句主句使用的是被動語態(tài)，第二個動詞是pay attention to的被動形式。選項A、B、D均不符合句子的意思。

15.A 該句是作者給出的一系列忠告之一，即認(rèn)真觀察地形，注意明顯的雪崩路徑：沒有植物或植物被毀壞的地方。選項B、C、D均不符合句意。

譯文：雪崩和安全問題

雪崩是雪摻雜著空氣和水沿著山體突然迅猛地滑動造成的。雪崩是造成山區(qū)人們生命和財產(chǎn)安全的最大危險之一。

所有雪崩都是由于物質(zhì)的過渡負(fù)荷造成，通常是積雪堆積過厚，很不穩(wěn)固，超出了山坡面的承載能力。要確定山坡的臨界承載量，可能造成突然雪崩的負(fù)荷量是一項很復(fù)雜的任務(wù)，需要衡量多個因素。

通常傾斜度小于25度，大于60度的山坡發(fā)生雪崩的危險要小一些。積雪不會在陡峭的山坡上大量堆積，同樣也不會在平緩的山坡上快速滑動。當(dāng)雪在靜止?fàn)顟B(tài)下的角度在35_45度之間，最可能發(fā)生人為觸發(fā)的雪崩。人為引發(fā)雪崩的臨界角度是38度，是最易人為引發(fā)雪崩的角度。常規(guī)經(jīng)驗是：一個平緩的足以堆積積雪，同時陡峭的適合人們滑雪的山坡，無論角度如何，都有可能產(chǎn)生雪崩。此外，雪崩的危險隨著使用的增加而增加，換言之，滑雪者活動得越頻繁，雪崩的可能性越大。由于雪崩研究的復(fù)雜性，冬天在人煙稀少的地區(qū)旅行從來不是百分之百的安全。很好地躲避雪崩，保持安全是一個連續(xù)的過程，包括選擇路線、檢查積雪、了解天氣狀況及其他人為因素。以下幾個廣為人知的好習(xí)慣也可以降低風(fēng)險：如果當(dāng)?shù)貦?quán)威部門發(fā)布了雪崩警報，你應(yīng)當(dāng)予以考慮，加以注意。絕不要不加審度，就立刻接受他人意見。積雪自形成的那時就幾乎注定要發(fā)生變化。認(rèn)真觀察地形，注意明顯的雪崩路徑：沒有植物或植物被毀壞的地方。不要在那些可能引發(fā)雪崩的人或事物下面行走。

第四篇Animal’s “Sixth Sense”

A tsunami was triggered by an earthquake in the Indian Ocean in December, 2004.It killed tens of thousands of people in Asia and East Africa.Wild animals,____1____, seem to have escaped that terrible tsunami.This phenomenon adds weight to notions that1 they possess a “sixth sense” for____2____, experts said.Sri Lankan wildlife officials have said the giant waves that killed over 24,000 people along the Indian Ocean island’s coast clearly____3____ wild beasts, with no dead animals found.“No elephants are dead, not____4____ a dead rabbit.I think animals can____5____ disaster.They have a sixth sense.They know when things are happening,” H.D.Ratnayake, deputy director of Sri Lanka’s Wildlife Department, said about one month after the tsunami attack.The____6____ washed floodwaters up to 2 miles inland at Yala National Park in the ravaged southeast, Sri Lanka’s biggest wildlife____7____ and home to hundreds of wild elephants and several leopards.“There has been a lot of____8____ evidence about dogs barking or birds migrating before volcanic eruptions or earthquakes.But it has not been proven,” said Matthew van Lierop, an animal behavior____9____ at Johannesburg Zoo.“There have been no____10____ studies because you can’t really test it in a lab or field setting2，” he told Reuters.Other authorities concurred with this____11____ ·

“Wildlife seem to be able to pick up certain____12____ especially birds...there are many reports of birds detecting impending disasters/’ said Clive Walker, who has written several books on African wildlife.Animals____13____ rely on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid danger such as predators.The notion of an animal “sixth sense” — or____14____ other mythical power — is an enduring one3 which the evidence on Sri Larika’s ravaged coast is likely to add to.The Romans saw owls____15____ omens of impending disaster and many ancient cultures viewed elephants as sacred animals endowed with special powers or attributes.詞匯：

D in 答案與題解：

1.B 第一句說的是海嘯造成了巨大的人員傷亡，第二句說的是動物能逃脫海嘯的襲擊。兩

句意思相反，所以要用however承接上文。

2.C 上文說的是：海嘯是一種自然災(zāi)害，所以“sixth sense”范圍只能是disasters，不能是shelters，foods或water。

3.A 本句繼續(xù)在對比海嘯造成的人員傷亡和動物能逃脫海嘯這一現(xiàn)象。答案應(yīng)該是選項A(missed)。其他三個選項的詞義與上下文都不相配。

4.D 從上下文判斷，本句的意思應(yīng)該是：沒有大象死亡，甚至連一只野兔或兔子也沒有死亡。“甚至”的英語是even。

5.D 全文說的是動物的第六感覺，而feel(觸覺)，see，hear都屬于前五個感覺，所以不是正確答案。

6.A 本說的是海的巨浪將洪水帶到離海岸遠(yuǎn)達(dá)2英里的地方。正確答案應(yīng)該是waves。

7.C 從上下文判斷，本句的意思應(yīng)該是：Yala國家公園是斯里蘭卡野生動物最大的保護(hù)區(qū)，而birthplaces(出生地)、playground(操場)和storage(儲存)都與上下文表達(dá)的意思接不上，因此不是答案。reserve的意思是“保護(hù)區(qū)”，不是“儲備”或“保留”。因此，選項C是答案。

8.B 下一句說，這些跡象(evidence)并沒有被證實。因此，這些跡象不可能是scientific的。而experimental和chemical的詞義與上下文不配合，因此也不是答案。只有apparent(明顯的)與上下文的意思相配。apparent的跡象還需得到科學(xué)的驗證。

9.A 在動物園里工作并發(fā)表對動物行為的專業(yè)性見解的人一定是專家學(xué)者(specialist)。其他三個選項都不合適。

10.B 本段第一句是說明為什么evidence沒有得到科學(xué)驗證。原因是科學(xué)家無法在實驗室或野外進(jìn)行特定的實驗，以驗證動物預(yù)見災(zāi)難的第六感覺。理解了上下文的意思，就知道選specific是最合適的。其他三個選項的詞義與上下文不符，additional，especial和exceptional分別是“額外的”、“特別的”和“例外的”意思。

11.C concurred with(同意)支配的賓語應(yīng)該是view，opinion，judgment這一類詞。前面句子說的是某位科學(xué)家指出無法驗證動物預(yù)見災(zāi)難的第六感覺的困難所在，其他專家也同意這一看法，所以選assessment是正確的。

12.D 本句說的是動物特別是鳥有捕捉災(zāi)難來臨前某些征兆的能力。route(路線)、behavior(行為)和principle(原則)與上述意思相去甚遠(yuǎn)，只有phenomenon是答案。

13.D 根據(jù)常識判斷，動物是要依賴味覺、聽覺等逃避食肉動物的攻擊。unwillingly(不情愿地)occasionally(偶爾)和doubtfully(懷疑地)與上述意思有俘，只有certainly是合適的選項。

14.A 從本句的意思判斷，應(yīng)該是“某種神奇的能力”,所以要選some。

15.B 本句的意思是“將……看成”，而英語的用詞是see...as，所以要選as。

譯文：動物的“第六感”

2004年12月由印度洋海域地震引發(fā)的海嘯造成亞洲和東非數(shù)萬人死亡。但野生動物們似乎躲過了可怕的海嘯的襲擊。有專家表示，這進(jìn)一步證實了動物對自然災(zāi)難有“第六感”的觀點。斯里蘭卡負(fù)責(zé)野生動物的官員表示，巨浪席卷印度洋海島沿岸，淹死了兩萬四千多人，但野生動物似乎都幸免于難，目前尚未發(fā)現(xiàn)一具動物的尸體。

斯里蘭卡野生動物部門的副部長H.D.拉特納亞克在海嘯襲擊過后一個月說道：“沒有一頭大象死亡，甚至沒有一只野兔死亡。我認(rèn)為動物能夠感知災(zāi)難。它們有‘第六感’，它們知道災(zāi)難何時發(fā)生。”海洪沖向離岸二英里遠(yuǎn)的亞拉國家公園，這里是斯里蘭卡最大的野生動物保護(hù)區(qū)，生活著幾百頭野生大象和一些美洲豹，海嘯引發(fā)的洪水使亞拉國家公園所在的東南部地區(qū)變得一片狼藉。

“每當(dāng)火山爆發(fā)或地震發(fā)生前，動物們的行為就會發(fā)生許多異常，比如犬吠或鳥類遷徙，但這些現(xiàn)象尚未得到科學(xué)證明。”南非約翰內(nèi)斯堡動物園的動物行為專家馬修·范·利羅普說。他對路透社記者說：“目前還沒有這方面的專門研究，因為你無法在實驗室或?qū)嶋H環(huán)境中進(jìn)行真正的試驗。”其他專家也同意這一看法。

“野生動物似乎能夠感知某些特殊現(xiàn)象，尤其是鳥類。很多報告顯示鳥類能察覺即將來臨的災(zāi)難。”克萊夫?沃克這樣說，他曾經(jīng)寫過數(shù)本關(guān)于非洲野生動物的書。

一些動物確實是依靠嗅覺或聽覺等人類已知的官能來躲避危險的，比如食肉動物。

關(guān)于動物“第六感”(或者其他神秘力量)的說法已有很長時間，斯里蘭卡被摧殘的海灘可能會為這一說法再添一筆證據(jù)。

羅馬人把貓頭鷹視為迫近兇險的征兆，很多古代文明都將大象看做擁有特殊能力或特征的“圣獸”。

residential adj.居住的 static n.靜電噪聲 potential n.潛力

thermal-imaging熱效應(yīng)成像 pinpoint v.精確地確定 concept n.概念，觀念 emergency n.緊急情況 grant n.授予物，準(zhǔn)許 注釋：

1.在謂語動詞中，不能并列使用兩個情態(tài)動詞，如may和can就不能并列使用。如果由于表達(dá)需要，要同時用“可能”和“能夠”，就得說(寫)成may be able to。如： I may be able to come tomorrow, but I cannot promise.我可能明天來，但我不可能作出承諾。2.that指第一句所表達(dá)的意思。

1.B 空格后是一種裝置，用它來改變火災(zāi)時找不到出口的危險境況。表達(dá)“用……裝置”這層意思就要用介詞with。其他幾項均不符合句子的意思。

2.A Sound Alert是一家公司的名字，a company是Sound Alert的同位語，根據(jù)句意判斷，應(yīng)選擇run by，意為“由……經(jīng)營的”。其他選項雖然語法正確，但都與句意不符。

3.C 從文章標(biāo)題以及文章內(nèi)容和本句后面部分resource center for the blind，可以推斷這里最好的選擇就是C。

4.D 因為這種警告裝置已在上文中提到：第一段中的directional sound alarms，第二段中的installing the alarms in a residential home...，所以這里的alarms是特指，要用定冠詞。選項C是錯誤的，因為它是單數(shù)形式。

5.B 句子的前半句有a wide range of frequencies,發(fā)出來的應(yīng)該是sound，而不是令人煩躁的noise。用music或bell都有些突然，與上下文的意思不連貫。

6.D 文章一直在討論警報器、聲音和波長，所以首先排除選項A;從上下文的意思看，不可能是選項B和C，因為警報器的制造，就是為了讓失明的人聽到。

7.C 選擇A、B、D均不能構(gòu)成語義連貫的句子，而且語法上也有問題。選項C能使句子結(jié)構(gòu)成為“It is...that”的強(qiáng)調(diào)句型。

8.B 從所給的選項可以看出，這里要表達(dá)的意思是“煙火彌漫的房間”。有了這個理解，現(xiàn)在要做的就是選擇正確的表達(dá)形式。A是“煙熏的”，D是“使……煙火彌漫的”，所以意思不對，C填入后就出現(xiàn)filled with smoke room，不符合語法。只有B是正確選項。

9.C 這里顯然是“It takes somebody+time+動詞不定式”的句型，但選擇什么時態(tài)是關(guān)鍵。從上句看，應(yīng)選擇一般過去時，因為整個段落是對一次實驗的描寫，而且上面一句也使用了一般過去時。

10.C 后半句的one指上半句中的a sound alarm。該句上半句和下半句由but連接，表示相反的意思，從后半句的with可以看出，兩個相對比的事物是:the door without a sound alarm和the door with a sound alarm，所以選擇C。

11.A 選項B、C和D顯然是錯誤的，因為詞義不符。只有選項A是答案。句子的意思是，Withington在她的大學(xué)里研究大腦如何處理聲音。

12.D 句子中的more...than表示該句是對兩樣事物的對比。than后面是the source of a narrow band,這里的narrow和前半句的wide形成反比，從上下文中可以看出，the source of a narrow band of(frequencies)是和the source of a wide band of frequencies形成對比。

13.D 這個句子有主語alarms，有謂語have been installed，這里應(yīng)填入動詞的分詞形式。be based on是常用的搭配，所以應(yīng)選擇動詞的過去分詞形式。選項A的basis是名詞，明顯是錯的。

14.A 根據(jù)上半句中的rising or falling frequencies，這里應(yīng)填入or，與上半句表達(dá)的意思相一致。音頻升高表示上樓，音頻降低表示下樓。

15.A首先確定主語They指的是第一句中的主語The alarms，后半句說這種設(shè)備得到大筆

資助。根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容，我們知道資助的目的是開發(fā)這種alarms，所以應(yīng)該選擇developed。

譯文：警報器救盲人

如果看不見，那你可能會因找不到路而逃不出一幢失火樓房，那將是致命的。英國利茲市的一家公司發(fā)明的一種可指方向的警報器可能會把你引向出口。聲音警報是一家由利茲大學(xué)設(shè)立的公司。該公司現(xiàn)在正在為位于薩莫塞特的一家盲人收容所和位于卡姆布雷亞的一家盲人資源中心安裝此種裝置。這種警報器發(fā)出的頻率范圍廣，使人腦可以判斷出聲音的來源。

該公司的戴博拉?威星頓稱此種警報器使人類可以聽到大部分音頻。她說：“它們是一種突發(fā)的頻譜連續(xù)而均勻的聲音。人們感覺它們聽上去就像是收音機(jī)發(fā)出的靜電噪聲，其在救人方面潛力巨大。”

她進(jìn)行了一次試驗。她讓人們在一所充滿濃煙的大屋子里設(shè)法找到出路，同時她用熱效應(yīng)成像攝像機(jī)進(jìn)行拍攝。在沒有警報器時，這些人用了近4分鐘才找到門，而在警報器的指引下，只用了15秒。

她在大學(xué)里對人腦如何處理聲音進(jìn)行研究，并提出與波段窄的頻率相比，人們更易發(fā)現(xiàn)波段寬的音響源。基于此理論的警報器已被應(yīng)用于急救車上。這種警報器也容納了音頻的升降，以指示人們上下樓。這種設(shè)備是得到英國核燃料組織的大筆資助才開發(fā)成功的。

Micro-chip research center created A research center has been set up in this far-east country to develop advanced micro-chip production technology.The center, which will start out with about US$14million,will help the country develop its chip industry without always depending on imported technology.The center will make use of its research skills and facilities to develop new technology for domestic chip plants.The advent of the center will possibly free the country from the situation that it is always buying almost-outdated technologies from other countries, said the country?s flagship chipmaker.Currently, chip plants in this country are in a passive situation because many foreign governments don?t allow them to import the most advanced technologies, fearing they will be used for military purposes.Moreover, the high licensing fees they have to pay to technology provider are also an important reason for their decision of self-reliance.As mainstream chip production technology shifts from one generation to the next every three to five years, plants with new technology can make more powerful chips at lower costs, while plants with out-dated equipment, which often cost billions of dollars to build, will be marginalized by the maker.More than 10 chip plants are being built, each costing millions of U.S.dollars.the majority of that money goes to overseas equipment vendors and technology owners-mainly from Japan and Singapore.Should the new center play a major role in improving the situation in industry, the country admits the US$14million in vestment is still rather small.This country is developing comprehensive technologies.Most of the investment will be spent on setting alliances with technology and intellectual property owners.16The country says that the investment of US$14 million is big enough for developing that country? chip industry.A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned 17 That country gives top priorities to developing chips for military purposes.A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned 18Although the licensing fees are not very high, that far-east country cannot afford to pay.A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned Many western countries ban the exporting of the most advanced chip-making technologies to that country to prevent them from being used for military purposes.A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned 20 Currently, almost all the flagship chipmakers in that country are owned by American investors.A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned 21Mainstream chip production technology develop rapidly.A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned 22 More than 10 chip plants being built in that country are an example of self-reliance.A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned

More Than 8 Hours Sleep Too Much of a Good Thing Although the dangers of too little sleep are widely known，new research suggests that people who sleep too much may also suffer the consequences.Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more

trouble falling and staying asleep，as well as a number of other sleep problems，than people who sleep 8 hours a night.People who slept only 7 hours each night also said they had more trouble falling asleep and

feeling refreshed after a night?s sleep than 8-hour sleepers.These findings, which DL Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine，demonstrate that people who want to get a good night?s rest may not need to set aside。more than 8 hours a night.He added that“it might be a good idea'?for people who sleep more than 8 hours each night to consider reducing the amount of time they spend in bed, but cautioned that more research is needed to confirm this.Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep一for instance, one report demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more.For the current report，Kripke reviewed the responses of 1，004 adults to sleep

questionnaires，in which participants indicated how much they slept during the Week and whether they

experienced any sleep problems.Sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night，arising early in the morning and being unable to fall back to sleep，and having fatigue interfere with day-to-day functioning.KriDke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours.In an interview, Kripke noted that long sleepers may struggle to get rest at night simply because they spend too much time in bed.As evidence，he added that one way to help insomnia is to spend less time in bed.“It stands to reason that if a person spends too long a time in bed, then they?ll spend a higher percentage of time awake.”he said.23Paragraph 2 _E__.24Paragraph 4_B__.25Paragraph 5__A_.26Paragraph 6__D_.A.Keprike?s research tool B.Dangers of Habitual shortages of sleep

Stress Level Tied to Education Level

People with less education suffer fewer stressful days, according to a report in the current issue of the

Journal of Health and Social Behavior.However, the study also found that when 1ess-educated people did suffer stress it was more severe and had a larger impact on their health.From this, researchers have concluded that the day-to-day factors that cause stress are not random.Ⅵr11ere you are in society determines the kinds of problems that you have each day, and how well you will cope with them.The research team interviewed a national sample of 1.03 1 adults daily for eight days about their stress level and health.People without a high school diploma reported stress on 30 percent of the study days，people with a high school degree reported stress 38 percent of the time，and people with college degrees reported stress 44 percent of the time.?Less advantaged people are less healthy on a daily basis and are more likely to have downward turns in their health。?”lead researcher Dr.Joseph Grzywacz，of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, said in a prepared statement.“The downward turns in health were connected with daily stressors.and the effect of daily stressors on their health is much more devastating for the less advantaged.”

Grzywacz suggested follow-up research to determine why

less-educated people report fewer days of stress when it is known their stress is more acute and chronic.“If something happens every day, maybe it?snot seen as a

stressor”Grzywacz says.“Maybe it is just 1ife.”

Stress level is closely related to B)social status.32The 1.03 1 adults were interviewed A)on adaily basis for 8days.33 Which group reported the biggest number of stressful days?

D)People with college degrees.34The less advantaged people are，the greater

A)the impact of stress on their health is.35Less—educated people report fewer days of stress possibly because C)stress is too common a factor in their life.Superconductor Ceramic(陶瓷)An underground revolution begins this winter.With the flip(輕擊)of a switch,30,000homes in one part of Detroit will soon become the first in the country to receive

electricitytransmitted by ice cold high performance cables.Other American cities are expected to followDetroit's example in the years ahead, which could conserve enormous amounts of power.The new electrical cables at the Frisbie power station in Detroit are revolutionary becausethey are made of superconductors.A superconductor is a material that transmits electricity withlittle or no resistance.Resistance is the degree to which a substance resists electric current.Allcommon electrical conductors have a certain amount of electrical resistance.They convert atleast some of the electrical energy passing through them into waste heat.Superconductors don't.No one understands how superconductivity works.It just does.Making superconductors isn't easy.A superconductor material has to be cooled to an extremely low temperature to lose its resistance.The first superconductors, made more than 50years ago, had to be cooled to-263 degrees Celsius before they lost their resistance.Newersuperconducting materials lose their resistance at-143 degrees Celsius.The superconductors cable installed at the Frisbie station is made of a ceramic material thatcontains copper, oxygen, bismuth(鉍), strontium(鍶), and calcium(鈣).A ceramic is ahard, strong compound made from clay or minerals.The superconducting ceramic has beenfashioned into a tape that is wrapped lengthwise around a long tube filled with liquid nitrogen.Liquid nitrogen is super cold and lowers the temperature of the ceramic tape to the point where itconveys electricity with zero resistance.The United States loses an enormous amount of electricity each year to resistance.Becausecooled supercondUutors have no resistance, they waste much less power, other cities arewatching the Frisbie experiment in the hope that they might switch to superconducting cable andconserve power, too.36What is the benefit of the revolution mentioned in the first paragraph? C.Great amounts of power can be conserved.37Compared to common electrical conductors, superconductors__________ A.have little or no electrical resistance 38 At what temperature does the superconducting ceramic lose its resistance__________? A.-143 degree Celsius.39 What element enables the ceramic tape to lower its temperature__________? B.Liquid nitrogen.40According to the last paragraph, which of the following statements is NOT true__________? D.The Fribie experiment is not successful.The Science of the Future

Until recently, the “science of the future” was supposed to be electronics and artificialintelligence.Today it seems more and more likely that the next great breakthroughs intechnology will be brought through a combination of those two sciences with organic chemistryand genetic engineering.This combination is the science of biotechnology.Organic chemistry enables us to produce marvelous synthetic(合成的)materials.However,it is still difficult to manufacture anything that has the capacity of wool to conserve heat and alsoto absorb moisture.Nothing that we have been able to produce so far comes anywhere near thecombination of strength, lightness and flexibility that we fred in the bodies of ordinary insects.Nevertheless, scientists in the laboratory have already succeeded in “growing” a material that has many of the characteristics of human skin.The next step may well be “biotech heartsand eyes” which can replace diseased organs in human beings.These will not be rejected by thebody, as is the case with organs from humans.The application of biotechnology to energy production seems even more promising.In1996 the famous science-fiction writer, Arthur C.Clarke, many of whose previous predictionshave come true.He said that we may soon be able to develop remarkably cheap and renewablesources of energy.Some of these power sources will be biological.Clarke and others havewarned us repeatedly that sooner or later we wi/1 have to give up our dependence on non-renewable power sources.Coal, oil and gas are indeed convenient.However, using them alsomeans creating dangerously high levels of pollution.It will be impossible to meet the growingdemand for energy without increasing that pollution to catastrophic(災(zāi)難性的)levels unlesswe develop power sources that are both cheaper and cleaner.It is attempting to think that biotechnology or some other “science of the future” can solveour problems.Before we surrender to that temptation we should remember nuclear power.Only a few generations ago it seemed to promise/imit/ess, cheap and safe energy.Today thosepromises lie buried in a concrete grave in a place called Chernobyl, in the Ukraine.Biotechnology is unlikely, however, to break its promises in quite the same or such a dangerousway.41According to the passage, the science of the future is likely to be__________ B.biotechnology 42 Organic chemistry helps to produce materials that are__________ C.not as good as natural materials 43 According to the passage, it may soon be possible__________ D.to make artificial hearts and eyes 44In 1996, Arthur C.Clarke predicted that__________ B.oil, gas and coal could be repeatedly used in the future.45 What do we learn from the last paragraph__________?

C.Biological power may not be as dangerous as nuclear power.五、補(bǔ)全短文(共1題，合計10分)補(bǔ)全短文
