听第10段材料,回答第18至20题。
An important businessman was asked to give a twenty-minute speech in another city.He was too busy to write it himself,so he asked his secretary to put one together for him out of a large book of speeches which she had on her desk.She typed one out for him,and he picked it just in time to rush off to his plane.But when he gave his speech,it ran on for an hour,and the audience was bored by the end of it.
When the businessman got back to his office,he complained to his secretary about this.“I told you it should be a twenty-minute speech,” he said to her angrily.“That’s what I gave you,” she answered,“the original and the two copies.The original for you to read at the meeting and the two copies for the file.”

二、单项填空(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
21Children are often told to 　　　 strangers when their parents are not with them.
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
A.come up with B.watch out for
C.take notice of D.get along with
解析:come up with“提出,想出”;watch out for“当心”;take notice of“注意到”;get along with“与……相处,进展”。句意:经常告诉孩子们当父母不与他们在一起时要当心陌生人。
答案:B
22　　　 you are alone at home,why don’t you go with us to the party
A.Even though B.As though
C.So that D.Now that
解析:even though“即使”;as though“好像”;so that“为的是,以便于”;now that“既然”。本句中应用now that引导原因状语从句。句意:既然你独自一人在家,为何不和我们一起去参加聚会呢
答案:D
23Whenever she is sad,her parents can always 　　　　.
A.bring her up B.cheer her up
C.give her up D.come on
解析:bring up意为“抚养,呕吐”;cheer up意为“(使)高兴,(使)振作”;give up意为“放弃,对……不抱希望”;come on意为“进展,加油”。由从句“不论她何时难过”可知,此处应用cheer her up表示“她的父母总是能让她高兴起来”。
答案:B
24Bob got seriously injured in the traffic accident,but luckily,the doctor came 　　　　 to save his life.
A.in time B.on time C.at times D.at last
解析:in time的含义是“及时,迟早,最终”;on time的含义是“按时”;at times的含义是“有时”;at last的含义是“最后”。由“luckily”可知,医生应及时赶到挽救了他的生命。
答案:A
25The driver of the car 　　　 from behind the lorry.
A.pulled out B.pulled in
C.pulled away D.pulled up
解析:本题主要区别几个含pull的词组。pull out意为“驶出”、“拉出”;pull in作“进站”、“靠岸”解;pull away是“开动”、“离开”之意;pull up有“停下”之意。根据题意,汽车的司机从卡车后面驶出,应该选pull out。
答案:A
26Prices of the basic necessities of life have been going up sharply since word came that war would　　　 between the two countries soon.
A.watch out B.break out
C.die out D.give out
解析:watch out“当心”;break out“发生,爆发”;die out“灭绝”;give out“分发,耗尽”。由空前的war可知此处应用break out。
答案:B
27Which topics you are interested in 　　　 none of my business.　　　 about is the present problem.
A.is;What I am concerned
B.are;What I am concerned
C.is;What am I concerned
D.are;What am I concerned
解析:which引导的主语从句是一件事情,所以主句的谓语动词用单数,排除B、D项;主语从句要用陈述语序,故选A项。
答案:A
28The villagers were often in 　　　 dashes(冲突)with each other before the agreement was reached.
A.peaceful B.friendly
C.violent D.interesting
解析:由下文的“before the agreement was reached”可知以前村民总是发生“激烈的”冲突。
答案:C
29We must do something to 　　　 the factories sending out poisonous gases so as to keep the city 　　　.
A.keep;being polluted
B.keep;from being polluted
C.prevent;being polluted
D.prevent;from being polluted
解析:keep...from doing表示“阻止……做某事”时,介词from不能省略;而prevent...from doing...中的from则可以省略。
答案:D
30　　　 he will come here isn’t clear.
A.If B.Whether
C.Where D.What
解析:考查主语从句的引导词。主语从句位于句首时不用if引导,排除A项。句意为:他是否会来还不清楚。C、D两项均可以引导主语从句,但用在此处语意不通,可排除。
答案:B
31The doctor thought 　　　 would be good for you to have a holiday.
A.this B.that C.one D.it
解析:考查代词的用法。分析题干中宾语从句的结构可知,应该用it在从句中作形式主语,其真正的主语是后面的动词不定式短语。
答案:D
32As you know,reading in the sun 　　　 your eyes.
A.is harm to B.is harmful to
C.does harmful to D.harm to
解析:be harmful to=do harm to,意思是“对……有害”。

解析:词组give birth to表示“生育”。
答案:C
34The students were 　　　　 over the 　　　　 problem,listening to the teacher with a 　　　　 expression on their faces.
A.puzzled;puzzling;puzzling
B.puzzled;puzzling;puzzled
C.puzzling;puzzling;puzzled
D.puzzling;puzzled;puzzling
解析:puzzle与介词over/about连用,表示“冥思苦想”,由第一个空前的were可知,此处应用过去进行时,即用puzzling;puzzling表示“令人困惑的”,用来修饰problem;修饰expression或look时,应用puzzled。
答案:C
35(2013·四川卷)　　　 you said at the meeting describes a bright future for the company.
A.When B.How
C.What D.That
解析:考查名词性从句。此句谓语动词为describes,之前的部分即为主语从句。主语从句中缺少谓语said的宾语,故选用代词what作said的宾语引导主语从句;that在名词性从句中不作成分,只表陈述的语气;而when和how为副词,不能作主干成分。
答案:C
三、完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)
Scientific research has a great influence on our society.　36　 the one hand,we 　37　 to provide the research work a free 　38　.While on the other hand,we are afraid that some of the research will be 　39　 to our society.Thus,there should be a balance 　40　 the government whether or not to 　41　 scientific research and development.
　42　 the scientific research is a job 　43　,it is hard for the government even the public to decide whether or not a research is 　44　.But the scientific research,　45　 something else,can’t go without creativity.　46　,as we all know,should not be limited.If we 　47　,we will find 　48　 far-reaching research work came from free thinking,of which the 　49　 ideas may seem fantastic at the beginning.Take Einstein 　50　 example.He 　51　 the Theory of Relativity.His raw idea of the 　52　 was considered meaningless by the public.No one at that time was able to 　53　 that this fantastic idea would lead to a 　54　 revolution for Physics.　55　,free thinking without limit can encourage creativity to some extent(从某种程度上).This is of great importance to the scientific research.
36A.On　　　　　　　　　　B.In
C.At D.With
解析:由下文的on the other hand可知,此处应为on the one hand“一方面”,为固定搭配。
答案:A

C.like D.unlike
解析:但是科学研究不像其他事情,没有创造是行不通的。根据句意可知选D项。
答案:D
46A.Create B.Creativity
C.Creative D.Creator
解析:承前,众所周知,创造性是不应被限制的。creativity“创造”,为名词。create为动词,意为“创造”;creative为形容词,意为“有创造力的”;creator为表示人的名词,意为“创建者,创作者”。
答案:B
47A.look back B.look out
C.look into D.look after

四、阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共12小题;每小题2.5分,满分30分)
A
Astronomy is the oldest science known to man.Thousands of years ago man looked at the stars and wondered about the heavens.But man was limited by what he could see with his eyes alone.
The Greeks studied astronomy over 2,000 years ago.They could see the size,color,and brightness of stars.They could see their places in the sky.They watched the stars move as the seasons changed.But the Greeks had no tools to help them study the starry heavens.
Each new tool added to the files of astronomy;it helped man reach out into space.Until there were telescopes(望远镜),man knew little about the moon.They did not know that the planet called Saturn(土星)had rings around it.Their sight was so limited that they could not see all the planets.In the early 1700s,people thought there were only six planets.
Before the spectroscope(分光镜),man did not know what kind of gases is in the sun or other stars.Without the radio telescope(电望远镜)we did not know that radio noises come from far out in space.
Today,astronomy is a growing science.We have learned more in the last fifty years than in the whole history of astronomy.
56The passage mainly tells us 　　　.
A.the spectroscope helps man know what kind of gases is in the sun and other stars
B.there are nine planets in space
C.there was much noise in space
D.science can’t grow fast without modern technology
解析:主旨大意题。通过本文的叙述,我们知道没有现代技术,科学不可能发展得快。
答案:D
57Thousands of years ago,　　　.
A.man watched the stars with their eyes
B.telescopes helped man to study the stars
C.man knew nothing about the sky
D.man knew Saturn had rings around it
解析:细节考查题。由第一段可知,在古代,人们主要通过肉眼来观察星球。
答案:A
58When the Greeks watched the stars,they knew all of the following except 　　　.
A.the color of the stars
B.the size of the stars
C.the movement of the stars
D.what the stars were made of
解析:细节考查题。由第二段可知,只有D项的内容“星球是由什么组成的”没有提到。
答案:D
59Man now knows 　　　.
A.the moon has rings around it
B.there are six planets
C.Saturn’s rings can be seen by human eyes
D.radio noises come from far out in space
解析:由第四段最后一句可推知,现在人们已经知道无线电噪音来自遥远的太空。
答案:D
60From this passage we can see that in the last fifty years 　　　.
A.astronomy has become a science
B.people have made great progress in astronomy
C.people have begun to do research on astronomy
D.astronomy has limited man’s knowledge of space
解析:细节考查题。由短文最后一句可以得出答案。
答案:B
B
From boyhood he was interested in Astronomy,and while at Cambridge he would sit up at night to watch the stars.But he was dissatisfied with the telescopes of those days because they didn’t show him a clear picture of things.At first he thought there must be something wrong with the lens(镜头).But no matter how hard he tried to improve the lens,the trouble was still there.
This set Newton thinking.He began to study the nature of light and colors.In the end he found that sunlight,or white light,is actually made up of a row of colors.He counted seven colors in all.This was of course a great discovery.But Newton still wasn’t satisfied.His mind was busy with another problem.Before Newton’s time,scientists had already discovered that the sun,not the earth,was the center of the universe,and they knew that the earth and the other planets moved round the sun.But they couldn’t explain why this was so until Newton gave the answer.
One autumn evening while Newton was sitting under an apple tree thinking over these problems,he saw the moon rise in the sky.Why,he asked himself,should the moon round the earth,never leaving the same path At that moment,he heard an apple drop from the tree.Why should the apple drop to the ground Why didn’t it go sideways or fly up There seemed to be only one reason:The earth was drawing it—that is the force of gravity.If a stone is tied to the end of a string and whirled around,it flies round and round in circles because of the string.In the same way,the force of gravity,thought Newton,must be the force that keeps the moon going round the earth and the planets round the sun.
61This passage tells us　　　.
A.Newton gave the right answer to the making up of the sunlight
B.Newton found that the moon goes round the earth
C.how Newton made two of his greatest discoveries
D.why Newton made two of his great discoveries at home
解析:主旨大意题。整篇文章的内容集中在牛顿是怎样得出两项重大发现的。
答案:C
62Give the right order of the events given in the passage.
a.Newton found that sunlight is made up of a row of colors.
b.Newton wondered why the apple didn’t go sideways.
c.Newton decided that the force of gravity keeps the moon going round the earth.
d.Newton tried every means to improve the lens.
e.Newton counted the number of colors.
A.e,d,c,a,b B.e,a,c,b,d
C.d,a,e,b,c D.d,e,a,b,c
解析:细节考查题。由第二段第三、四句知,牛顿先发现太阳光由一组颜色组成,然后再数颜色的数目。由此排除A、B和D三项。
答案:C
63Which of the following is the nearest in meaning to “But they couldn’t explain why this was so until Newton gave the answer.”
A.But Newton gave the answer because they couldn’t explain why.
B.But Newton couldn’t explain why unless they gave the answer.
C.But it was Newton who gave the answer.
D.But Newton was the first to give the answer.
解析:句意猜测题。句意为“直到牛顿给出答案他们才知道为什么会这样”,由此得出答案为D项。
答案:D
C
An international team of astronomers has discovered a planet slightly larger than Jupiter that orbits a star 500 light years from Earth.A very good telescope was not even required;they found the planet using several small telescopes much like those used by amateur astronomers.
The new planet is named TrES-2 because it is the second such planet found by scientists working on the Trans-Atlantic Exoplanet Survey(TrES).It is a transiting planet(凌日行星),meaning it can be seen transiting,or moving,across the star it orbits.
Ted Dunham,an instrument scientist at Arizona’s Lowell Observatory,says transiting planets are special because researchers can answer a lot of questions about them.All it takes is some math and some observations about the planet and its relationship to its star.
But how big is it How long is its year(the time it takes to orbit around its star) How much would you weigh if you were there
“TrES-2 is a little bigger than Jupiter,has a ‘year’that is a little less than two and a half days,and is a little more massive than Jupiter,”explains Dunham.
From its mass and radius(the distance across the planet)scientists can figure out the density of the planet—whether it is made of rock,gas,or a combination of the two.(TrES-2 is made up mainly of gas.)
They can also work out the surface gravity,says Dunham:“You would feel a little more than twice as heavy as on Earth if you were on TrES-2.”
There’s a catch,though.“The temperature is about 1,500 degrees Celsius(2,732 degrees Fahrenheit),and there is nothing solid to stand on.It isn’t a likely place to look for life,”he says.
Dunham says that to find smaller planets like Earth or Venus,scientists need to send instruments on a mission(使命) to space.NASA scientists are planning one called the Kepler Mission,which could begin in two years.
TrES-2 is in the part of the sky that the Kepler Mission will study.Since astronomers already know so much about it,they can use it to help make sure their instruments are working.
64A suitable title for this passage would be 　　　.
A.A Transiting Planet
B.A New Planet in Sight
C.The Kepler Mission
D.Astronomers’ Great Achievements
解析:主旨大意题。文章一开头就点明了主题:一组国际天文学家发现了一颗比木星稍大的行星,然后逐一介绍了有关这颗行星的其他方面,故B项为最佳答案。而A项表述太宽泛;C项表述只是文章中的一个细节;D项表述则完全偏离了方向。
答案:B
65If an astronomer wants to know about a transiting planet,what will he have to do
A.Observe it carefully.
B.Work out the results by doing some math problems.
C.Find out its relationship to its star.
D.All of the above.
解析:细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后一句话可知选D项。
答案:D
66What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to in the passage
A.transiting planets
B.researchers
C.questions
D.telescopes
解析:词义理解题。联系上下文即可看出这句话中的them是指主句中提到的transiting planets。
答案:A
67Suppose you were 56 kilograms on the earth.How much would you weigh if you were on TrES-2
A.Less than 28 kilograms.
B.28 kilograms.
C.56 kilograms.
D.115 kilograms.
解析:细节理解题。根据原文倒数第四段的“You would feel a little more than twice as heavy as on Earth if you were on TrES-2”进行计算;56×2=112,结合a little more than可知D项正确。
答案:D
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Once,lately at night,an Englishman came out of his room into a passage of the hotel and ask the servant to bring him a glass of water.The servant did as she asked.The Englishman reentered his room,but a few minute later he came into the passage again but once more asked the servant a glass of water.Every a few minutes the Englishman would come out of his room and repeated his request.After a half hour the astonishing servant decided to ask the man what he is doing with the water.“Nothing,” answered he calm.“It’s simply that the room is on fire.”
答案与解析:
第一句:lately→late　解析:表示“在深夜”应用“late at night”;lately表示“近来”。
第一句:ask→asked　解析:讲述过去的事情应用过去的时态。
第二句:she→he　解析:代替an Englishman应用he,不用she。
第三句:minute→minutes　解析:a few修饰可数名词的复数形式。
第三句:第二个but→and　解析:上下文并没有转折,因此不用but应用and。
第四句:去掉a　解析:表示“每几……”应用“every few+复数名词”。
第四句:repeated→repeat　解析:and连接并列的成分,此处应用动词原形与前面的come保持一致。
第五句:astonishing→astonished　解析:astonishing的含义是“令人惊讶的”,修饰事物;astonished的含义是“惊讶的”,修饰人。
第五句:is→was　解析:讲述过去的事情应用过去的时态。

参考范文:
Recently, students in our class have had a discussion on whether space is worth exploring.
30% of the students think space exploration is not worthwhile. They think space is too far away from us and our daily life. And the money spent on space exploration can be used to solve the earth’s problems such as starvation and pollution.
On the other hand, 70% think space is worth exploring because we have benefited a lot from it, such as using satellites for communication and weather forecast. What’s more, with further space research, we may solve the population problem by moving to other planets one day. Also, space research will enable us to find new sources to solve the problem of energy shortages on the earth.
