Ⅲ.阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
A
Have you ever dreamed of visiting a planet in the Milky Way(银河系)？While the trip sounds exciting，it would take years to reach your destination.So in the future，bedtime for astronauts may be more than a few hours of regular shut-eye.They would have to sleep for years.
European researchers are now conducting hibernation experiments.The study may help them understand whether humans could ever sleep through the years it would take for a space flight to distant planets.“If there was an effective technology，it could make deep-space travel a reality，”said Mark Ayre of the European Space Agency last month.
What seems like a science fiction is not completely unlikely.Researchers have been able to use chemicals to put living cells into a sleep-like state where they don't age.They have now moved on to the small，non-hibernating mammals like rats.
A major challenge is the fact that cells can be very simple systems，whereas body organs are far more complex.“It's like moving from a simple Apple computer to a supercomputer，”said Marco Biggiogera，a hibernation researcher at University of Pavia in Italy.Just like bears and frogs，the hibernation of human beings would cause a person's metabolism(新陈代谢)to lower so they would need less energy.
Medical research，however，is just half of a space flight hibernation system.There is a challenge of designing a suitable proactive shelter.Such a shelter would provide the proper environment for hibernation，such as the proper temperature.It would also have to monitor life functions and serve the physiological needs of the hibernator.
According to Ayre，the six-person Human Outer Planets Exploration Mission(使命)to Jupiter's moon(木星的卫星)Callisto could be an opportunity to use human hibernation.The mission aims to send six persons on a five-year flight to Callisto，where they will spend 30 days in 2045.
36．What does the underlined word“hibernation”in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．冷冻 B．冬眠
C．解冻 D．代谢
37．According to the passage，the hibernation research________.
A．is just an idea
B．is always a science fiction
C．has already finished successfully
D．has made some progress
38．In a hibernating state，a person needs________.
A．less sleep B．more food
C．less energy D．more movement
39．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．Hibernation Study for Space Travel
B．Welcome to Our Space Travel
C．To Hibernate，to Live Longer
D．Welcome to the Milky Way

(2013·福建高考)Your glasses may someday replace your smartphone，and some New Yorkers are ready for the switch.Some in the city can't wait to try them on and use the maps and GPS that the futuristic eyewear is likely to include.
“I'd use it if I were hanging out with friends at 3 a．m. and going to the bar and wanted to see what was open，” said Walter Choo,40，of Fort Greene.
The smartphone-like glasses will likely come out this year and cost between $ 250 and $ 600，the Times said，possibly including a variation of augmented (增强的) reality，a technology already available on smartphones and tablets (平板电脑) that overlays information onto the screen about one's surroundings.So，for example，if you were walking down a street，indicators would pop_up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you.
“As far as a mainstream consumer product，this just isn't something anybody needs，” said Sam Biddle，who writes for Gizmodo.com.“We're accustomed to having one thing in our pocket to do all these things，” he added，“and the average consumer isn't gonna be able to afford another device (装置) that's hundreds and hundreds of dollars.”
9to5Google publisher Seth Weintraub，who has been reporting on the smartphone-like glasses since late last year，said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as common as smartphones.
“It's just like smartphones 10 years ago，”Weintraub said.“A few people started getting emails on their phones，and people thought that was crazy.Same kind of thing.We see people bending their heads to look at their smartphones，and it's unnatural，”he said.“There's gonna be improvements to that，and this a step there.”
40．One of the possible functions of the smartphone-like glasses is to ________.
A．program the opening hours of a bar
B．supply you with a picture of the future
C．provide information about your surroundings
D．update the maps and GPS in your smartphones
41．The underlined phrase “pop up” in the third paragraph probably means“________”．
A．develop rapidly B．get round quickly
C．appear immediately D．go over automatically
42．According to Sam Biddle，the smartphone-like glasses are ________.
A．necessary for teenagers
B．attractive to New Yorkers
C．available to people worldwide
D．expensive for average consumers
43．We can learn from the last two paragraphs that the smartphone-like glasses ________.
A．may have a potential market
B．are as common as smartphones
C．are popular among young adults
D．will be improved by a new technology

Who would have thought that millions of people would buy a product containing living insects？A businessman named Milton Levine did.He created the Uncle Milton Ant Farm more than half a century ago.Today，grandchildren of the first ant colony owners are watching ants working hard on the farm.Milton Levine was not trained in the study of insects，also known as entomology.But he knew a lot about ants，and he designed an appealing way to share his knowledge.
Mr.Levine began his career as a maker of unusual toys after World War Ⅱ.He had returned to his birthplace in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania，after serving in the United States military.He got the idea for his future career from a business newsletter，which suggested that the best chances for jobs at the time were in toys.He decided to make toys.They understood that American society was about to change.The huge population increase known as the Baby Boom was beginning.There would be a huge demand for children's toys.
One day，he saw ants parading around a swimming pool.The sight made Mr.Levine remember how much he had liked watching ants as a boy on his uncle's farm.Those thoughts gave him the idea for the Uncle Milton Ant Farm.
Milton Levine developed a narrow，green plastic container.The top looked like a farm，showing a farmhouse，a barn，a bridge and a windmill(风车)．Under those images was a divider that separated the ants' underground and above-ground areas.Under that was the sand where people could watch the ants digging passageways.
The first Uncle Milton Ant Farms were an immediate success.They were sold in 1956.Two years later，two million of the educational toys had been sold.
Through the years the toys continued to attract ant-watchers.People buy Uncle Milton Ant Farms from stores and order from websites.During his life，Mr.Levine saw the sale of more than twenty million of his ant colonies.
The Uncle Milton Ant Farm tells far more than how to care for the ants.For example，people receiving an Uncle Milton Ant Farm learn that the little insects are strong.Some can carry loads fifty times heavier than they are.A writer remembers owning an Uncle Milton Ant Farm when he was about five years old.He says he became very good at numbers by counting the ants.
44．Which of the following words can best describe Milton Levine?
A．Strong. B．Creative.
C．Loyal. D．Humorous.
45．________may be studied in the science of entomology.
A．Roses B．Butterflies
C．Tigers D．Sharks
46．Milton Levine got his idea from the following EXCEPT________.
A．a business newsletter
B．the Baby Boom
C．ants parading
D．a farmhouse
47．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A．How to care for the ants.
B．Ants are strong and diligent.
C．The Uncle Milton Ant Farm is more than a toy.
D．The Uncle Milton Ant Farm is very popular.

Donald had his own difficulties sleeping that night.Not just because of the bright lights of the shelter or people's constant voices，it was the happening repeatedly nightmare(噩梦)that caused him to stay awake，to fear sleep.Donald was back in his small house.He did his best to ignore the howling winds outside his window.Yet he couldn't turn out the fearful whimpers(呜咽声)of his little dog，or the uncomfortable sounds of his mother anxious in her room next door，unable to sleep through the storm despite her insistence they would be all right.
Donald didn't want his mother to be upset，but on some level，he was glad to hear she was awake.It meant he wasn't alone in the dark.Though he was 12，until recently it was impossible for Donald to fall asleep unless his mother lay down by his side.
Suddenly there was a crash.Their living room window is shattered(打碎)by 125-mile-an-hour winds.Troy rushed to Donald and sat anxiously on the edge of his bed.He did his best to calm his mother，and she to comfort him.
Soon water was seeping(渗透)into the single-floor house.Quickly it rose from ankle level to leg level.At Donald's insistence，they pushed their way through the water－now chest high－toward the front door.When they fought their way into the living room，water rose to their chins.
It was a struggle for the boy and mother to stay afloat.In a total panic，desperate to hold on to something，Troy caught a curtain rod(杆)．She's breathing hard，shouting that she couldn't swim.
Donald called out，“Mom！Hold on！”Just then Donald also caught a floating wood board.

If there is one thing I'm sure about，it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers.It is not that newspapers are a necessity.Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio.Many buy a newspaper only on Saturday or Sunday.But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.
The nature of what is news may change.What basically makes news is what affects our lives－the big political stories，the coverage of the wars，earthquakes and other disasters，will continue much the same.I think there will be more coverage of scientific research，though.It's already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives，like genetic(基因)engineering.In the future，I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do－as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.
It's quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送)electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home.In fact，I'm pretty sure that how it will happen in the future.You will probably be able to choose from a menu，making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read sports and international news，etc.
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(媒体)．They actually feed_off each other.Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers，but that hasn't happened.What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound in the air.And as for the Internet，it's never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.
52．What is the best title for the passage?
A．The Best Way to Get News
B．The Changes of Media
C．Make Your Own Newspaper
D．The Future of Newspaper
53．In the writer's opinion，in the future，________.
A．more big political affairs，wars and disasters will make news
B．newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer
C．newspapers will cover more scientific research
D．more and more people will watch TV
54．From the passage，we can infer________.
A．newspapers will win the competition among the different media
B．newspapers will stay with us together with other media
C．television will take the place of newspaper
D．the writer believes some media will die out
55．The phrase“feed off”in the last paragraph means________.
A．depend on B．compete with
C．fight with D．kill off
Ⅳ.任务型读写(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
You are what you eat so maybe it's time you started eating sensibly.Experts at the first Chinese Students Nutrition and Health Festival in Kunming last week singled out(挑选)several bad eating habits.
●Watching television while having meals or snacks(零食)．
Doing this means you don't pay attention to your food，forget how full you are，and so overeat.It can also cause digestion(消化)diseases.One way to avoid this is only to eat in certain areas of your home.
●Replacing meals with snacks.
Many students think that eating small snacks can help them diet.But it often results in overeating and health problems related to a lack of vegetables，carbohydrates(碳水化合物), proteins and vitamins.Snacking only works if it is well planned and includes healthy foods such as nuts，vegetables，fruit and yogurt.
●Having drinks rather than water.
Fizzy(起泡的)drinks and fruit juice are usually high in calories and sugar，which can cause weight problems.Water is important in making your brain cells and every organ in your body work properly.For your body to burn fat，it needs at least eight glasses of pure water a day.Liquids like soda and coffee actually take water away from your body.
●Choosing meat and certain vegetables over others.
Different foods provide different kinds of nutrition.If you don't have a balanced diet，this can result in malnutrition(营养失调)and a weaker body.
●Eating throat tablets(润喉片)as if they were sweets.
If you eat throat tablets when you have no throat disease，they may affect the bacteria(细菌)in your mouth and cause real throat problems.

【语篇解读】 文章是一篇记叙文。作者踏上大学的讲台前向老教授学习教学方法，其中一位数学教授的教具是一杯咖啡，这给作者留下了深刻的印象，在以后的教学生涯中，一杯咖啡回味无穷。
16．D 我已经花费了很长时间学习教什么。cost的主语是物，故排除；kill one's time“消磨时间”。
17．C 根据“learning what to teach”，可知此处是说没有学怎样教(teach)。
18．D make up for“补偿”。根据前文所述可知，此处是说学校想利用一个周末来弥补(从有经验的教授身上学习怎么教)。
19．C 同事们就他们所使用的教具做了精心准备的演讲，我很欣赏他们的介绍，但他们讲的我都没有记住。前一句中的presented有暗示。
20．A 分析语境可知，在休息期间我发现自己孤单一人，然后就和一位数学教授聊起天儿来，alone强调一个人而未必孤独；lonely强调孤独、寂寞。
21．C 根据第一段中“My colleagues presented well-crafted lectures about the tools they used.”，以及后文中回答的“a cup of coffee”可知答案为C。
22．A 根据“I talk too much and too fast in the classroom.”可知，由于讲得快、讲得多，有些学生可能跟不上(following)。
23．B 当我说到某些(something)想让学生思考的东西时。
24．B 根据后文“take a sip of coffee”以及最后一段可知是要停下来喝一口咖啡。
25．B 我看到他的杯子里并没有咖啡。notice指无意中注意到，符合语意。observe“长期观察”；glare“怒视”；prove“证明”。
26．D 医生建议我停止喝咖啡。并没有suggest sb.to do sth.这种结构。故用advised。
27．A 医生建议他别再喝咖啡了，故这位数学教授只能拿着一个空(empty)杯子去上课。
28．D 根据最后一段内容可知作者也想效仿一下这位数学教授的做法。discovery“发现”；invention“发明”；magic“魔法”；idea“主意，想法”。
29．C 根据“I took a cup of coffee with me to my next class.”可知，此处是说作者也在上课的时候喝(drank)咖啡。
30．B 根据后文“but gave me time to think about what I was going to say next”可知作者喝咖啡的时候不仅给了学生思考的时间，也给自己思考接下来说什么留足了时间。
31．B 根据“My pauses，as I drank the coffee”可知作者利用暂停的空档看学生的反应。pause“中止，暂停”。
32．A 根据“I tried to bring them back.”可知此处应表示“当我看见他们的注意力(attention)不集中时”。
33．C 根据后文“I gave another example.”可知，此处应表示“当我看见他们对我刚才解释(explained)的某个概念仍迷惑不解时”。
34．D 根据全文可知作者是在大学授课，故应选lecture“讲座”。
35．B 尽管我的课不再那么紧凑、精彩，但我的学生理解得(understand)更好了。

37．D 推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，人类“冬眠”技术已经取得了一定的进展。
38．C 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句可知，“冬眠”状态下的人需要的能量会少一些。
39．A 主旨大意题。本文自始至终介绍的是在星际探索中使用“冬眠”技术的研究情况，A项具有高度的概括性和强烈的针对性。
【语篇解读】 本文为一篇介绍性的说明文。文章主要介绍了一种类似于智能手机的眼镜的功能及这种新科技产品的前景。
40．C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段的描述“...a technology already available on smartphones and tablets(平板电脑)that overlays information onto the screen about one's surroundings.”可知“智能手机和平板电脑的这种技术能将周围环境的信息覆盖到屏幕上”，再结合后文的举例可知，这种类似于智能手机的眼镜的功能之一就是能为你提供周围环境的信息。
41．C 词义猜测题。根据文章第三段可知，这种类似于智能手机的眼镜能为使用者提供周围环境的信息，例如：如果你走在大街上，指示器就会立即告诉你最近的咖啡店或其他一些信息。根据画线词后面的showing you the nearest coffee shop可知pop up的意思为appear immediately“立即出现”。A项意为“快速发展”，B项意为“(消息)快速传开”，D项意为“自动复习”。
42．D 细节理解题。根据文章第四段所述“...and the average consumer isn't gonna be able to afford another device(装置)that's hundreds and hundreds of dollars.”可知Sam Biddle认为对于普通顾客而言，他们没有能力来购买如此贵的装置。
43．A 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段，Seth Weintraub认为这种可戴式新科技产品最终会像其他智能手机一样普遍。再结合最后一段的例子特别是最后一句话“There's gonna be improvements to that，and this a step there.”可看出这种新科技产品会很快流行起来，言外之意是这种新科技产品的市场潜力很大。
【语篇解读】 本文介绍了Uncle Milton Ant Farm(蚂蚁农场玩具)的发明者Milton Levine。
44．B 推理判断题。从他设计玩具Uncle Milton Ant Farm的相关信息可以看出他极具创新精神。
45．B 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Milton Levine was not trained in the study of insects，also known as entomology.”可知entomology是“昆虫学”之意。根据常识可知只有butterflies(蝴蝶)属于昆虫，会在昆虫学中学到，故B项正确。
46．D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“He got the idea for his future career from a business newsletter.”“The huge population increase known as the Baby Boom was beginning.There would be a huge demand for children's toys.”以及第三段中的“he saw ants parading around a swimming pool.”等信息可知，他从商务通讯、婴儿潮及蚂蚁搬家中得到启发，发明了这个蚂蚁农场玩具。D项没有提到。
47．C 段落大意题。根据最后一段的中心句“The Uncle Milton Ant Farm tells far more than how to care for the ants.”可知，本段主要讲这个蚂蚁农场玩具除了告诉大家怎么去照顾蚂蚁外，还有更深层的教育功能。
【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文，主要介绍了一对经历暴风雨的母子的故事。
48．B 主旨大意题。第一、二、三段写暴风雨来临之初母子俩的焦虑心情，后文描写母子俩在雨水涌入房子后往外跑的情景，由此可知，全文主要围绕母子俩在暴风雨中的经历进行叙述，由此判断选B。
49．D 细节理解题。由第一段中“people's constant voices”“the howling winds”“the fearful whimpers(呜咽声)of his little dog”和“the uncomfortable sounds of his mother”可判断，环境是嘈杂的，故选D项。
50．C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“the uncomfortable sounds of his mother anxious in her room next door”和第三段中的“Troy rushed to Donald and sat anxiously on the edge of his bed.He did his best to calm his mother”可知，暴风雨来临之初，Troy(Donald的母亲)是忧虑和害怕的。
51．D 推理判断题。根据最后两段内容“母亲抓住了一根窗帘杆，儿子抓住了一块木板”可推知接下来作者极有可能写他们母子俩如何在暴风雨中自救，如果作者接着写A、B、C三个话题的内容，则显得太突兀，与上文内容衔接不上。
52．D 主旨大意题。从文章第一句：一百年后人们仍要读报纸，到后面文章讲到报纸跟人们生活的关系，报纸的形式和内容，可归纳出此题的答案为D项。
53．C 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“I think there will be more coverage of scientific research，though.”可推知此题答案为C项。
54．B 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第三句“Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio.Many buy a newspaper only on Saturday or Sunday.”可推知此题答案为B项。
55．A 词义猜测题。作者上一句说人们错误地认为各种不同的媒体相互竞争，而下一句作者又说“They actually feed off each other.”(注意句中actually一词)，再结合所给的四个选项，可知选A项合适。
56．habits 57.health 58.water 59.bacteria
60．Digestion 61.Weaker 62.Advice/Suggestions 63.Plan 64.Drink 65.necessary

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Japan is pretty serious about robotics(机器人技术)．If the droids are going to fit in，they probably need to learn the Japanese custom of serving tea.
Fortunately，researchers at the University of Tokyo are exploring just that.In a show this week，a humanoid with camera eyes made by Kawada Industries Inc.poured tea from a bottle into a cup.
Then another robot on wheels delivered the cup of tea in an experimental room that has sensors embedded in the floor and sofa as well as cameras on the ceiling to simulate life with robot technology.
“A human being may be faster，but you'd have to say ‘Thank you’，”said Professor Tomomasa Sato from the University of Tokyo.“That's the best part about a robot.You don't have to feel bad about asking it to do things.”
Sato believes Japan，a rapidly aging society where more than a fifth of the population is 65 or older，will lead the world in designing robots to care for the elder，sick and bedridden.
Already，monitoring technologies，such as sensors that automatically turn on lights when people enter a room，are becoming widespread in Japan.
The walking，child-size Asimo from Honda Motor Co.greets people at showrooms.NEC Corp.has developed a smaller companion robot-on-wheels called Papero.A seal robot available since 2004 can entertain the elderly and others in need of fuzzy companionship.
Sato says his experimental room is raising awareness about privacy questions that may arise when electronic devices monitor a person's movements down to the smallest detail.
On the bright side，the tea-pouring humanoid has been programmed to do the dishes.
1．Which is the BEST title of this passage?
A．“Thank You”Will Never Be Needed in Japan
B．Monitoring Technologies Are Widespread in Japan
C．Robot Is Designed to Care for the Elder
D．Robot Serves Tea Just the Way Japanese Like It
2．The underlined word“embedded” in the third paragraph probably means “________”．
A．fixed B．established
C．settled D．rooted
3．Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．A robot can imitate people to complete complicated tasks.
B．A robot has been programmed to clean the dishes.
C．All the problems in the aging society can be solved by robots.
D．The number of aging people is increasing rapidly in Japan.
4．We can infer from the passage that________.
A．people are afraid of being monitored by robots
B．the technology of robots has been highlighted in Japan
C．robots can completely take the place of human beings
D．people's privacy should be strictly protected

Scientists have created a “human-like robot”that can dance and do the housework.
“Mahru”has been developed to imitate humans and can move its lips，eyebrows and pupils(瞳孔)．The machine can also move its upper and lower body freely and automatically(自动地)stop itself when walking.
In addition，it has been programmed to give out two kinds of pleasant smells to match its emotions.The 1.5m tall robot was produced by researchers at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) and is the first South Korean-developed machine of its kind.
“‘Mahru’ will open the way for the commercial use of humanoid robots doing housework，”You Bum-Jae，leader of the development research team，said，“‘Mahru’ can dance while walking on its legs and is able to work in place of a human.”
Through an advanced motion capture system，“Mahru” can follow a variety of human movements and move its hands freely enough to deal with any obstacles that may get in its way when walking.
State-funded KIST showed the robot during a presentation at its head office in Seoul.
People here were treated to an entertaining demonstration which saw the robot show off the full range of its skills，most notably a series of dance moves.
The research team added that they had designed another “Mahru”，this time with sensors(传感器)allowing it to distinguish between faces and objects.
The showing of“Mahru” came a week after researchers in Japan said they had created the“most human-like” robot in the world.A team at robotics department of Osaka University in Japan claimed that“robotgirl”，Repliee R-I，“looks，moves and interacts(相互作用)like a human，and has silicone(硅胶)skin that feels almost human to the touch.”
1．“Mahru”made by KIST can do the following things EXCEPT________.
A．express certain feelings through smells
B．move its body freely
C．stop automatically when walking
D．dance with other human-like robots
2．According to what You Bum-Jae said in Paragraph 4，his research team wants to________.
A．help robots with doing housework
B．show its scientific power
C．make “Mahru” offer more fun
D．explore the commercial use of “Mahru”
3．When“Mahru”meets something in its way，it will be likely to________.
A．go around it
B．turn back quickly
C．deal with it using its hands
D．ask humans for help
4．According to the last paragraph，Repliee R-I________.
A．is another “Mahru”
B．was made by KIST
C．has skin feeling similar to humans'
D．looks like a boy

The 20th century witnessed some of the most surprising achievements as far as the field of science and technology is concerned.Among these，the Indians account for a significant share of the pie.
Srinivas Ramanujan(1887—1920)
Ramanujan's great mathematical findings were beginning to be appreciated from 1915 to 1919.But his achievements were to be fully understood much later，well after his death in 1920.For example，his work on highly composite numbers(高合成数)with a large number of factors started a whole new line of researches in the theory of such numbers.
Meghnad Saha(1893—1956)
Meghnad Saha belonged to an outstanding group of Indian scientists whose contributions revolutionized diverse branches of knowledge and earned global recognition.He introduced the teaching of Nuclear Physics in Calcutta University at a time when the world had not even witnessed the impact of Nuclear Energy.Together with S．N.Bose，he made the first English translation of Einstein's papers on relativity.
C．V.Raman(1888—1970)
Raman's discovery that molecules scatter light is known as the Raman effect.It is used to study the internal structure of the molecules.Early in his life，Raman carried out and published extensive research on acoustics(声学)and optics(光学)．He received the Nobel Prize for his well-known Raman effect in 1930.
Dr.Hargobind Khorana(1922－)
Khorana shared the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology in 1968 with Marshall W．Nirenberg and Robert W．Holley for cracking(破译)the genetic code.His researches have opened up a new branch called genetic engineering in science.In 1970 he became the Alfred Sloan Professor of Biology and Chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he continued his work.Apart from the Nobel Prize，Khorana has won many awards and honors for his achievement.
5．In which year did C．V. Raman win the Nobel Prize?
A．1919 B．1920
C．1930 D．1968
6．Whose contributions were NOT well received when he was alive?
A．Srinivas Ramanujan's.
B．Meghnad Saha's.
C．C.V. Raman's.
D．Dr. Hargobind Khorana's.
7．Dr.Hargobind Khorana mainly researched into________.
A．mathematics B．relativity
C．genetic code D．optics
8．Which would be the BEST title for this passage?
A．Indian scientific achievements

Ⅱ.1.B 考查形容词辨析。permanent“永久的”；autonomous“自治的”；amateur“业余的”；punctual“准时的”。trial和permanent staff相对应，故B项正确。句意：三个月的试用期过后，他被接受为永久雇员。

4．A in case以防万一，引导条件状语从句；even if纵然，即使，引导让步状语从句；ever since自……以来，引导时间状语从句；if only要是……就好了，常用于虚拟语气，表示一种强烈的愿望。句意：我度假时随身带着驾照，以备我租车之需。由句意可知正确答案为A项。掌握连词的用法以及正确理解句意和前后的逻辑关系是解题关键。
5．C 句意：——是杰里米而不是他的朋友们应对这次事故负责。——绝对地。他本不该酒后驾车。be to blame for为固定短语，意为“对……负责，”排除A、D两项；当“A rather than B”作主语时，谓语动词应与A在“数”上保持一致，故选C项。
6．A 句意：在会议上，中国外交部长宣布中国强烈反对恐怖主义。declare的意思是“(正式)宣布”，一般指官方正式宣布；announce也有“宣布”的意思，它一般指宣布或预告大家关心的问题；tell告诉；show表明。
7．C 句意：约翰把大家都关在厨房外面，以便他能够准备他的派对大惊喜。so that在此引导目的状语从句。
8．A 句意：随着倒数五个数，五、四、三、二、一，指挥官按红色按钮和大喊：“点火！”as引导伴随状语从句，表示“随着”，when表示某个时候；press the...button“按……按钮”；fasten“扣紧”；click“点击”。
9．B 句意：自足球赛能在电视上现场直播以来，到现场看足球赛的人数大幅度下降。drop off下降，减少，符合句意。drop in拜访；drop out退出，退学；drop by顺便访问。由语境可知B项切题。
10．B 句意：由于中国足球队无数次的失败，我对它的热情逐渐消失了。fade在此指“(热情)逐渐变弱/消失”，符合语境。vanish消失，强调莫名其妙地消失；run off流出，偷走；give up放弃。
