【答案】

【1】felt

【2】it

【3】without

【4】terrible

【5】impossible

【6】found

【7】that/which

【8】loss

【9】taking

【10】better

【解析】

【1】felt 考查时态。空格后面的从句用的was making,包括后面一句He also complained of…也是过去时,那么本句也要用过去时,故用felt。

【2】it 考查代词。句意:最近亚当发现喝太多的咖啡让他难以入睡。it在这里是形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的不定式make it +adj. +to do sth. 表示使做某事怎么样

【3】without 考查介词。根据一段最后一句So he decided to stop drinking coffee.他决定不再喝咖啡可知这天早上没有喝咖啡,故用表示否定含义的介词without。

【4】terrible 考查形容词。condition名词,修饰名词用形容词,故用terrible。句意:11点的时候,亚当状态很差。

【5】impossible 考查形容词。根据前面说他状态很差,说明没有办法集中精力,故用possible的否定形式impossible。

【6】found 考查非谓语动词。a chemical_____6_____ (find) in coffee是Caffeine的同位语,所以这里应该是作定语修饰a chemical,a chemical和find之间动关系,要用found。

【7】that/which 考查关系代词。句意:咖啡因是一种可以提高能量,促进精力集中的刺激物。空格后面是定语从句修饰先行词stimulant,从句中少主语,且指代物,故用关系代词that或which。

【8】loss 考查名词。咖啡因少了,引起头疼和精力不集中。根据句意及前面的the可知,这里需要用名词形式,故用loss。

【9】taking 考查非谓语动词。句意:医生建议吃些。suggest doing sth.固定结构,表示建议做某事,故用taking。

【10】better 考查比较级。不到一个星期,他会感觉好很多和现在的状态做比较,故用比较级,即better。

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

Women are friendly. They often share with others. But men are more competitive. They are trying to improve their social status. Why? Researchers have found it’s all due to the hormone oxytocin (荷尔蒙催生素). Although known as the love hormone, it affects the sexes differently.

Generally, people believe that the hormone oxytocin is let out in our body in various social situations and our body creates a large amount of it when falling in love or giving birth.

But in a former experiment Professor Ryan found that the hormone is also let out in our body during a negative situation such as envy (嫉妒).

Further researches showed that in men the hormone oxytocin improves the ability to recognize competitive relations, but in women it raises the ability to recognize friendship.

Professor Ryan’s recent experiment used 62 men and women aged 20 to 37.

Half of the participants (参与者) received oxytocin. The other half received placebo (安慰剂).

After a week, the two groups switched with participants. They went through the same steps with the other material.

Following each treatment, they were shown some video pictures with different social behavior. Then they were asked to analyze the relations by answering some questions. The questions were about telling friendship from competition. And their answers should be based on gestures, body language and facial expressions.

The results showed that, after treatment with oxytocin, men’s ability to correctly recognize competitive relations improved, but in women it was the ability to correctly recognize friendship that got better.

Professor Ryan thus concluded, “Our experiment proves that the hormone oxytocin can raise people’s abilities to better tell apart different social behaviors.”

【1】What causes men and women to behave differently according to the text?

A. Placebo. B. Oxytocin. C. The gesture. D. The social status.

2What can we learn from Professor Ryan’s former experiment?

A. Oxytocin affects our behavior in a different way.

B. Our body lets out oxytocin when we are deep in love.

C. Our body produces oxytocin when we feel unhappy about others’ success.

D. Oxytocin improves our abilities to understand people’s behavior differences.

3 Why did Professor Ryan conduct the recent experiment?

A. To test the effect of oxytocin on the ability to recognize social behavior.

B. To know the differences between friendship and competition.

C. To know people’s different abilities to answer questions.

D. To test people’s understanding of body language.

4The author develops the text by _______.

A. explaining people’s behavior

B. describing his own experiences

C. telling apart sexual differences

D. discussing research experiments

A

Seeing a volcano erupt is a wonderful experience, and you can really feel the heat by climbing to the top of Pacaya for a close-up view. There are guided tours every day up this highly active volcano from Antigua, giving travelers a chance to see Mother Nature at her most powerful.

Pacaya is an easy drive from Antigua, a beautiful city with many colorful houses along its old streets that are turned into art-works during its Holy Week festival. No matter when you come to Antigua, you wont miss the Pacaya-tour companies.

But climbing Pacaya is no easy job. It is 2,560 meters high, and reaching the peak takes two to three hours of almost one-step-forward and two-step-back movements. As you climb, you hear the dull sounds of eruptions high above. Steaming, hot remains from recent eruptions begin to line the path as you are near the active peak: the McKenney Cone (火山锥). Just as though you were going to walk over to the edge of the cone, the road turns to the left and up to the relative safety of the old, inactive peak.

Many tours are timed so that you arrive at the cone of the volcano in plenty of time for sunset and the full contrast between the erupting red lava and the darkening sky. On a good day the view from the peak is extremely exciting. The active mouth boils, sending red lava over its sides, and once in a while shoots hot streams up to 100 metres into the air.

【1】What is the main purpose of this passage?

A. To describe the beauty of Pacaya.

B. To attract guided tours to Pacaya.

C. To introduce the best time to visit Pacaya.

D. To explain the power of nature at Pacaya.

【2】Antigua is a city ________.

A. where people can enjoy cultural festivals

B. where the challenging Pacaya tours start

C. that gives a close-up view of Pacaya

D. that is famous for its tour companies

【3】Many tours are timed for people to ________.

A. get down the mountain in time when night falls

B. avoid the smell from the upwind direction of the cone

C. enjoy the fantastic eruption against the darkening sky

D. appreciate the scenery of the 2,560-metre-high mountain
