Ⅰ.语法填空
Scientists
have
discovered
that
__1__
(stay)
in
the
cold
could
help
us
lose
weight.
Researchers
at
the
University
of
California
found
that
exposure
to
the
cold
increases
levels
of
a
protein
that
helps
form
brown
fat—the
type
of
fat
that
produces
heat
and
keeps
us
warm.
Brown
fat
burns
energy,
__2__
helps
us
lose
weight.
While
fat
stores
extra
energy,
which
results
__3__
weight
gain.
The
researchers
said
that
because
air
conditioning
and
heating
give
us
constant,
__4__
(comfort)
temperatures,
our
body's
need
for
brown
fat
has
decreased.
They
found
that：“Outdoor
workers
in
northern
Finland
who
__5__
(expose)
to
cold
temperature
have
a
significant
amount
of
brown
fat
when
__6__
(compare)
to
same?aged
indoor
workers.”
The
research
was
conducted
on
two
different
control
groups
of
mice.
__7__
group
was
injected
with
the
protein
that
helps
create
brown
fat.
This
group
later
gained
30%
less
weight
after
both
groups
were
fed
high?fat
diets.
The
researchers
say
this
could
be
good
news
in
the
fight
against
obesity.
People
who
are
obese
have
__8__
(low)
levels
of
brown
fat
than
thinner
people.
Head
researcher
Hei
Sook
Sul
said，“This
protein
could
become
an
important
target
for
research
into
the
treatment
and
__9__
(prevent)
of
obesity
and
obesity?related
diseases.”
She
added，“If
you
can
somehow
increase
levels
of
this
protein,
you
could
__10__
(possible)
lose
more
weight
even
if
eating
the
same
amount
of
food.”
1．staying 解析：考查非谓语动词。stay在宾语从句中作主语，所以应用其动词?ing形式。故填staying。
2．which 解析：考查定语从句引导词。先行词为前面的整个句子，在非限制性定语从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which引导。
3．in 解析：考查介词。脂肪储存了额外的能量，导致体重增加。固定短语result
in“导致”。
4．comfortable 解析：考查形容词。名词temperatures前应用形容词修饰，故填comfortable。
5．are_exposed 解析：考查主谓一致和动词语态及时态。动词expose与主语who之间构成系表结构，be
exposed
to意为“暴露于……”；who指代outdoor
workers，表示复数概念，所以谓语动词用复数，再结合句子时态可知填are
exposed。
6．compared 解析：考查非谓语动词。动词compare与逻辑主语outdoor
workers之间构成动宾关系，所以用过去分词作状语。
7．One 解析：考查不定代词。根据前面一句话“The
research
was
conducted
on
two
different
control
groups
of
mice.”可知，此处指其中的一组。故填One。
8．lower 解析：考查形容词比较级。根据连词than可知，此处应用比较级形式。
9．prevention 解析：考查名词。此处需要填和treatment并列的词，所以填名词，表示“肥胖的预防和治疗”。
10．possibly 解析：考查副词。此处用副词修饰动词lose。
Ⅱ.完形填空
In
__1__
19th
century,
the
invention
of
the
telegraph
made
__2__
possible
to
send
noises,
signals,
and
even
music
over
wires
from
one
place
to
another.
However,
the
human
voice
__3__
this
way.
Many
inventors
tried
to
find
a
__4__
to
send
a
voice
over
wires,
and
in
1876
some
of
their
efforts
were
crowned
with
success.
Two
American
inventors,
Alexander
Graham
Bell
and
Elisha
Gray,
__5__
at
almost
the
same
time.
The
United
States
Supreme
Court
finally
had
to
decide
which
of
the
two
__6__
the
first
inventor
of
the
telephone.
The
Court
decided
in
Bell's
favour.
Born
in
Edinburg
Scotland,
Bell
grew
up
in
a
family
__7__
was
very
interested
in
teaching
people
to
speak.
His
grandfather
had
been
an
actor
who
left
__8__
to
teach
elocution
(演说艺术);
his
father
was
a
teacher
__9__
deaf?mutes
learn
how
to
speak.
However,
probably
none
of
the
later
inventions
gave
Bell
the
same
feeling
of
triumph
__10__
he
had
on
the
day
when
he
spilled
some
acid
from
his
batteries.
It
was
after
he
had
worked
for
months
to
find
ways
to
send
something
more
__11__
metallic
twangs
over
the
wires.
Thinking
Watson,
__12__，
was
in
the
next
room,
Bell
called,
“Mr
Watson,
come
here.
I
want
you.”
Watson
was
not
in
the
next
room.
He
was
down
in
his
laboratory,
__13__
to
the
receiver.
__14__
Watson's
surprise,
he
heard
the
words
perfectly.
He
ran
to
tell
Bell
the
news:
the
wires
had
carried
Bell's
voice
__15__.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Cancer
is
a
terrible
disease.
Every
year
in
the
UK,
more
than
330,000
people
get
cancer,
and
doctors
usually
use
a
kind
of
therapy
called
radiotherapy
to
treat
people.
This
treatment
uses
high
energy
X?rays
to
destroy
the
disease,
but
the
effects
of
treatment
can
be
nearly
as
bad
as
the
cancer.
As
the
X?rays
destroy
the
cancer
cells,
they
also
damage
healthy
cells
that
are
next
to
them.
It's
like
using
a
shotgun
to
kill
an
insect.
When
really
important
parts
of
a
person's
body
are
hurt
by
the
X?ray
energy,
it
can
have
very
bad
results.
It
can
also
make
more
cancers
grow
in
the
damaged
places
in
the
future.
A
new
therapy
that
uses
protons(质子)
instead
of
X?ray
energy
could
be
the
answer
to
the
problem.
In
a
project
called
PRaVDA,
scientists
from
the
UK
and
South
Africa
are
working
to
do
this.
If
X?ray
energy
is
like
a
shotgun,
then
protons
can
work
more
like
a
laser.
Scientists
can
make
protons
travel
through
someone's
body
without
hurting
them,
and
only
damage
the
cancer.
The
PRaVDA
scientists
use
computers
to
make
a
3?D
model
of
the
cancer
cells
to
make
sure
the
protons
go
to
the
right
places.
“It's
more
accurate，”
said
Michaela
Esposito,
PhD,
from
the
University
of
Lincoln.
Building
this
technology
was
very
difficult,
though.
Professor
Nigel
Allinson
from
the
University
of
Lincoln,
the
project
leader,
has
put
together
a
team
of
many
different
kinds
of
scientists
with
different
skills.
Those
skills
were
all
needed
to
make
what
he
calls
“one
of
the
most
complex”
medical
machines
ever.
It's
also
10
times
more
expensive
than
X?ray
radiotherapy.
Even
so,
Allinson
believes
that
most
cancer
treatment
will
be
done
by
protons
in
the
future.
“I
think
it
will
improve
the
quality
of
life
of
many
cancer
patients，”
he
says.

perfect
way
to
cure
cancer.
D．Radiotherapy
is
a
commonly
used
therapy
against
cancer.
答案：C
解析：段落大意题。根据第一段中This
treatment
uses
high
energy
X?rays
to
destroy
the
disease,
but
the
effects
of
treatment
can
be
nearly
as
bad
as
the
cancer.可知，第一段主要讲述了癌症的一种治疗方法——放射治疗的利弊。
2．What
can
be
concluded
about
the
new
therapy?
A．It's
much
cheaper
than
X?ray
radiotherapy.
B．It
depends
on
protons
to
locate
the
cancer
cells.
C．Damaging
the
cancer
by
replacing
X?rays
with
lasers
is
much
more
accurate.
D．It
uses
protons
to
damage
the
cancer
cells
without
damaging
healthy
cells.
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段A
new
therapy
that
uses
protons
(质子)
instead
of
X?ray
energy
could
be
the
answer
to
the
problem.和Scientists
can
make
protons
travel
through
someone's
body
without
hurting
them,
and
only
damage
the
cancer.可知，这种新的治疗方法的好处是不会伤害健康的细胞。
3．According
to
Professor
Allinson,
the
new
therapy
________.
A．will
enable
cancer
patients
to
enjoy
a
better
life
B．will
cure
most
cancers
in
the
future
C．will
ensure
that
cancer
patients
live
longer
D．will
replace
radiotherapy
completely
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中Allinson
believes
that
most
cancer
treatment
will
be
done
by
protons
in
the
future.
“I
think
it
will
improve
the
quality
of
life
of
many
cancer
patients，”
he
says.可知，Allinson教授认为这种新的治疗方法会改善癌症患者的生活质量，让他们过得更好。
4．What
can
be
inferred
from
the
text?
A．Science
and
technology
are
a
double?edged
sword.
B．Not
every
cancer
patient
will
be
able
to
afford
proton
therapy.
C．Radiotherapy
is
completely
the
wrong
way
to
cure
cancer.
D．The
complex
medical
machine
mentioned
will
soon
be
put
into
use.
答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中It's
also
10
times
more
expensive
than
X?ray
radiotherapy.可知，这种新的治疗方法较以前的而言，贵了10倍，并非每个患者都能支付得起。
Ⅱ.读后续写
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
I
had
to
go
grocery
shopping
this
morning
for
the
first
time
in
a
couple
of
weeks.
My
husband
had
been
in
Greece
for
a
few
weeks
and
my
daughters
were
not
at
home
either
so
I
had
stocked
up
on
vegetables,
salad
ingredients
and
fruit
along
with
the
meat
that
I
had
in
the
freezer.
I
am
curious.
When
you
are
in
line
waiting
to
check
out,
do
you
check
out
what
others
have
in
their
carts?
I
hate
to
admit
it,
but
I
do.
I
try
not
to
judge,
but
again,
I
suppose
I
do
to
some
extent—when
I
see
a
family
in
which
the
parents
and
the
kids
are
very
overweight
and
they
are
buying
pop(汽水)
and
high?calorie
snack
foods.
My
biggest
issue
with
groceries
is
that
all
of
the
processed
foods
are
easier
to
get
and
cheaper
than
fresh
produce
and
probably
stretch
further.
It
amazes
me
to
see
families
buying
12
packs
or
24
packs
of
different
kinds
of
pop.
Most
of
the
people
that
I
am
seeing
are
buying
regular
pop,
not
diet.
But
when
I
was
young,
we
bought
pop
on
special
occasions.
For
birthday
parties
or
a
camping
trip,
we
could
only
have
one
can
per
day.
We
bought
Shasta
back
then.
I
am
not
even
sure
whether
it
is
still
sold
or
not.
We
could
all
pick
a
few
different
flavors
that
we
wanted
for
the
trip.
But
nowadays,
pop
is
everywhere
you
go.
I
am
glad
to
say
that
the
hospital
that
I
work
for
threw
away
all
of
their
pop
vending
machines(自动贩卖机).
They
didn't
think
health
care
workers,
patients
or
patients'
families
needed
them.
I
was
happy
for
the
change,
but
other
people
might
not
think
so.
答案
Paragraph
1：
I
heard
a
piece
of
news
on
the
radio.
It
is
reported
that
40%
of
American
women
are
obese,
who
often
eat
at
restaurants
and
fast
food
places.
They
are
unwilling
to
cook
at
home
because
they
are
lazy.
But
in
order
to
stay
healthy,
we
should
buy
vegetables,
fruit
and
meat
and
make
the
majority
of
our
meals
at
home.
We
can
find
recipes
on
the
Internet
that
are
good
for
us.
We
can
cook
various
foods
that
we
love
to
eat.
When
your
family
see
a
feast
on
the
table,
they
will
feel
good.
Paragraph
2：
I
love
fresh
fruit
and
I
love
fish.
In
fact,
I
always
go
grocery
shopping,
buy
many
fresh
fruits
and
cook
various
fishes
that
I
like.
I
pick
a
few
different
flavors
for
my
parents
and
my
friends,
which
makes
them
happy.Unit

of
tool.
4．I'm
glad
she
has
become
such
a
stable
character.
解析：firm,
stable,
steady这些形容词都有“稳固的”之意。firm指牢固不可动摇或意志、信仰坚定。stable多指根基牢固，平衡良好，也指性格或位置等的稳定、不可移动或改变。steady指保持平衡不动摇，用于有形的物体时，指没有根基的稳固，也指动中的稳。
B．用worth,
worthwhile或worthy填空。
5．The

6．The
book

worthy

read.
＝The
book
is
worthy
of
being
read.
7．You'd
better
spend
your
time
on
some
worthwhile
reading.
解析：①从句法功能上看，worth通常只用作表语，不用于名词前作定语；worthy和worthwhile可用作表语和定语。
②从所使用的修饰语来看，worth习惯上不用very修饰(要表示类似意思可用well)，而worthy和worthwhile则可以用副词very修饰。
③从搭配习惯来看，be
worth后可直接跟名词、代词或动词的?ing形式，不接不定式，且动名词的主动形式表被动意义。be
worthy
of＋名词/代词/动词?ing，且动词的被动意义只能用被动形式表达，若用不定式则去掉of且用被动形式表被动意义。worthwhile作表语时主语可是名词、不定式和动名词。不定式和动名词作主语时常用it代替，而把真正主语放在该词后面。
Ⅳ.用所给词的适当形式填空
1．I

COOL
INVENTIONS
From
school
to
band
practice,
the
Venturi
Eclectic
is
an
earth?friendly
way
to
get
where
you
want
to
go.
This
battery?powered,
zero?emission
(meaning
it
doesn't
pollute
the
air)
vehicle
runs
mainly
on
renewable
energy.
Solar
panels
on
the
Eclectic's
roof
absorb
sun
rays
when
you're
driving.
On
windy
days,
you
can
connect
a
machine
to
the
car's
roof
that
collects
energy
from
the
wind
while
you're
parked.
The
Eclectic's
top
speed
is
28
miles
an
hour;
the
battery
lasts
for
31
miles
before
it
needs
to
be
recharged.
Zipping
(迅速行进)
around
the
neighborhood
has
never
been
better.
Here's
an
eco?friendly
way
to
tell
time:
simply
fill
the
Bedol
Water?powered
Clock's
tank
with
water,
add
some
lemon
juice,
and
the
clock
will
display
the
time
without
the
need
for
environmentally
harmful
batteries.
There
are
two
sets
of
metal
electrodes
(电极)
inside
the
water
tank.
Water
contains
ions(离子)
that
carry
negative
and
positive
charges.
These
ions
complete
a
charge
between
the
electrodes,
creating
enough
energy
to
power
the
clock.
Just
refill
the
tank
every
few
weeks,
and
this
clock
will
keep
on
ticking.
Bloodhound
SuperSonic
Car
(SSC)
will
be
the
first
car
to
attempt
to
break
the
1,000?mile?an?hour
barrier.
(The
current
record
is
763
miles
an
hour.
)
A
concept
for
now,
the
rocketshaped
car
gets
its
initial
push
to
350
miles
an
hour
from
a
jet
engine.
Then
a
rocket
fires
up,
pushing
the
SSC
past
1,000
miles
an
hour.
In
order
to
keep
the
car
streamlined(流线型的),
the
driver
lies
back
at
a
45?degree
angle.
You're
having_a_blast
at
your
friend's
birthday
party.
But
when
it's
time
to
bring
out
the
cake,
everyone
crowds
around,
blocking
your
view.
No
worries.
Throw
the
Triops
into
the
air,
and
this
clever
camera
captures
the
view
from
above.
The
Triops
can
take
three
pictures
at
once,
each
from
different
angles.You
can
also
record
sounds
and
command
the
Triops
to
start
shooting
whenever
it
hears
that
noise.
That's
one
smart
camera.

Ⅱ.七选五
Do
you
want
to
improve
your
quality
of
life?
Here
is
some
advice.
·Make
it
a
point
to
do
something
brave
every
day.
__1__
This
might
mean
talking
to
someone
that
you
generally
wouldn't
talk
to
or
starting
a
project
that
you
feel
afraid
of.
There
is
no
need
to
plan
it
in
advance.
·__2__
Pick
a
topic,
especially
something
you
know
nothing
about
and
learn
something
from
it.
A
good
source
of
inspiration
for
this
can
be
the
newspaper.
It
helps
to
keep
it
if
you
have
time
to
make
a
note
of
what
you
have
learned.
·Debate
something.
If
you
think
you
know
about
something,
nothing
will
prove
it
like
arguing
it
with
someone
who's
smarter
than
you.
__3__
This
is
easier
said
than
done,
but
it
can
provide
you
with
some
of
the
best
mental
stimulation.
·Spend
time
with
a
child.
__4__
If
you
don't,
I
bet
you
have
friends
who
would
be
happy
to
let
you
borrow
theirs
for
a
few
minutes.
It
doesn't
matter
what
age
they
are—children
see
the
world
entirely
differently.
Look
at
it
from
their
eyes.
Be
their
hero.
Appreciate
what
they
appreciate.
Enjoy
the
simple
things
again.
You'll
love
it
and
they'll
love
you
for
it.
·Recognize
what
makes
you
happy.
__5__
Everyone
is
working
toward
something,
but
what
makes
you
happy
now?
Think
of
it
and
try
to
incorporate
(并入)
more
of
what
made
you
happy
yesterday
into
today.
A．If
you
have
one，consider
yourself
lucky.
B．Step
out
of
your
comfort
zone，and
leave
the
routine
for
a
second.
C．Spend
some
time
each
day
alone
with
your
thoughts.
D．Learn
something
new.
E．Find
a
friend
you
can
debate
with
who
has
different
ideas.
F．Talking
with
little
children
keeps
you
young.
G．Reflect
on
the
parts
of
your
day
that
bring
you
real
happiness.
文章就如何提高生活的质量给我们提出了一些建议。
1．B 解析：空后的This指代设空处提到的事情，根据“This
might
mean
talking
to
someone
that
you
generally
wouldn't
talk
to
or
starting
a
project
that
you
feel
afraid
of.”可知，此处指人们要走出自己的舒适区。故选B项。
2．D 解析：根据空后的“Pick
a
topic,
especially
something
you
know
nothing
about
and
learn
something
from
it.”可知，本段建议学习新的东西，与D项中的something
new相呼应。
3．E 解析：根据本段主题句中的Debate可知选E项，与该选项中的debate相呼应。此外，该部分中的arguing和debate同义。
4．A 解析：选项A中的one对应主题句中的a
child。空后的If
you
don't和选项A中的If
you
have
one分别从正反两个方面对该话题进行了说明。
5．G 解析：根据本段主题句“Recognize
what
makes
you
happy.”可知，本段与快乐有关，G项中的happiness与此呼应。
