分析 本文介绍了聋哑人Michelle Smithdas 的故事,她可能是将世界上最严重的残疾都结合起来的人,但她顽强不屈,通过努力在纽约师范学院获得硕士学位.师范学院的一位教授这样评价她,Michelle不仅是一个好学生,而且她对我们所有人也是一个激励.

解答 61.both;考查连词,此次用both与后面的and构成短语"both…and…",意为"既…又…"
62.a;考查冠词;这里用不定冠词a表示泛指,修饰后面的combination,句意为"她是将世界上最严重的残疾都结合起来的人".
63.enjoyed;考查动词的时态,分析句子可知这是讲述过去的事情,所以用一般过去时.
64.volunteers;考查名词的复数形式,volunteer是可数名词,前面有a lot of 修饰,所以要用复数形式.
65.is believed;考查动词的语态,结合语境分析,主语Michelle与动词believe是被动关系,"被认为",所以用被动语态.
66.where;考查关系副词,这是一个定语从句,先行词为 the Helen Keller National Centre in Sands Poit,New York,表示地点,故用关系副词where.
67.other;考查形容词,根据句意"她教盲文,词汇和其它的交流技能"可知此处应填other,表示"其它的".
68.as;考查介词,此处as意为"作为",这里serve as 意为"担任,担当".
69.asking;考查并列结构,此处ask和前面的go是并列成分,所以形式要保持一致,前面用了动词的ing形式,所以后面也要用动词的ing形式.,
70.not;考查固定短语,此处是固定短语"notonly…but also…",意为"不但…而且…".

点评 首先要通读全文,了解大意,抓住上下文语境所提供的信息,仔细分析带空格的句子,明确空格所要填的词义,词型和短语搭配给出所要填的正确形式,然后整体阅读短文,核对答案.

Paying more for a ticket to see a film in 3D is the cause of annoyance of many a cinema-goer's life.But there may be a(n) (41)H to doing so,as a study has claimed that 3D films exercise the brain and improve short-term functioning in a similar way to brain-training tests.
The research was led by neuroscientist(神经科学家) Dr Patrick Fagan from Goldsmiths University in London.More than 100 people took part in the experiment,where participants watched Disney film Big Hero 6in either(42)A type or RealD 3D.They also carried out a brain-training-style test before and after seeing a part from the film.The test covered memory,reaction time and cognitive (认知的) function,and the results were later(43)I.
According to the research,participants(44)B a 23 percent increase in cognitive processing,as well as an 11percent increase in reaction time.
Dr Fagan said that the results showed enough of an improvement in brain function to suggest that 3D could play a part in improving brain (45)G in the future."These findings are more significant than you might think,"he said."It is a fact that people are living longer and there is a(n)(46)J decline in cognitive brain function in old age which can damage future quality of life.There has never been a better time to look at ways to improve brain function.The initial results of this study indicate that 3D films may(47)C play a role in slowing this decline."
A second part of the experiment involved those watching the film being fitted with headsets(耳机) that(48)K brain activity and this too showed heightened activity when watching 3D.According to the results,participants were seven percent more engaged with what they were watching,adding to the argument that 3D movies are more like watching real-life-something."A seven percent rise in emotional engagement is (49)E remarkable.Watching in 3D gives the viewer such an enriched and quality experience,as these results show,"he said."In evolutionary(50)F,the results of both parts of the test certainly make sense.3D films are more likely to heighten the senses and cause emotional arousal-this,in turn,makes the brain run at quicker speeds,"Dr Fagan added.
4.The Process of Ageing
At the age of twelve years,the human body is at its most vigorous.It has yet to reach its full size and strength,and its owner his or her full intelligence; but at this age the possibility of death is least.Earlier,we were infants and young children,and consequently more vulnerable (易受伤的); later,we shall undergo a progressive loss of our vigour and resistance which,though vague at first,will finally become so steep that we can live no longer,however well we look after ourselves,and however well society,and our doctors,look after us.
This decline in vigour with the passing of time is called ageing.It is one of the most unpleasant discoveries which we all make that we must decline in this way,that if we escape wars,accidents and disease we shall eventually"die of old age",and that this happens at a rate which differs little from person to person,so that there are heavy odds in favor of our dying between the ages of sixty-five and eighty.Some of us will die sooner,a few will live longer----on into a ninth or tenth decade.But the chances are against it,and there is a virtual limit on how long we can hope to remain alive,however lucky and physically strong we are.
Normal people tend to forget this process unless and until they are reminded of it.We are so familiar with the fact that man ages,that people have for years assumed that the process of losing vigour with time,of becoming more likely to die the older we get,was something self-evident,like the cooling of a hot kettle or the wearing-out of a pair of shoes.They have also assumed that all animals,and probably other organisms such as trees,or even the universe itself,must in the nature of things"wear out".
Most animals we commonly observe do in fact age as we do,if given the chance to live long enough; and mechanical systems like a wound (上发条的) watch,or the sun,do in fact an out of energy in accordance with the second law of thermodynamics (热力学).But these are not similar or equivalent to what happens when man ages.A run-down watch is still a watch and can be rewound.An old watch,by contrast,becomes so worn and unreliable that it eventually is not worth mending.But a watch could never repair itself-it does not consist of living parts,only of metal,which wears away by friction (摩擦).We could,at one time,repair ourselves-well enough,at least,to overcome all but the most instantly fatal illnesses and accidents.Between twelve and eighty years we gradually lose this power,an illness which at twelve would knock us over,at eighty can knock us out,and into our grave.If we could stay as vigorous as we are at twelve,it would take about 700 years for half of us to die,and another 700 for the survivors to be reduced by half again.

11.RIO DE JANEIRO--Brazil's federal(联邦) police have arrested 10people(61)for allegedly(据说) planning terrorist attacks during next month's Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
Justice Minister Alexandre Moraes (62)described(describe)the group as"absolute amateurs",adding that their detention was a (63)preventative(prevent)measure.Officials said the suspects (64)had tried (try) to make contact with Islamic State,but were not members of the organization.
The arrested people were all Brazilian citizens (65)andwere detained in 10different states.They had been in contact(66)via/through mobile messaging services like WhatsApp and Telegram,police said.Thursday's developments came a week after 84people were killed,including scores of children,(67)whena truck ploughed through a crowd celebrating Bastille Day in the southern French city of Nice.
Brazil's institutional security minister,Sergio Etchegoyen,said after the Nice attack (68)thatsecurity would be raised to"another level"for the August 5-21Games.
Brazil's federal police are understood (69)to be monitoring (monitor) 100people for possible links to terrorist groups.Meanwhile intelligence agencies are stepping up security and tightening checks(70)in the tri-border region with Argentina and Paraguay.
7.To many Singaporeans,Mr.Lee Kong Chian is a familiar name.Popularly known as the"Rubber and Pineapple King",he was a person who had donated generously to the society by pouring his wealth into charity work.Knowing (33)what education means to a person,he devoted a lot of energy and money to (34)building(build) schools.He was particularly concerned with the less fortunate as he could relate himself to them.
Although Lee's father knew Lee (35)must receive education,his father wasn't able to afford to send him to school.However,his father's friends helped him pay for his education.Having left school as an honour student,he went to work in the field of rubber and pineapple (36)where he set up his own business later.Thanks to the golden timing then,he had hardly got familiar with the dealings in the field (37)when he enjoyed great success.His wealth rose rapidly and before long he became a millionaire.
(38)However wealthy he was,he never forgot his humble beginnings and was always ready (39)to help(help).Since 1952till today,the Lee Foundation which he founded (40)has donated(donate) three hundred million dollars to various causes with no conditions attached.His generosity has provided relief to the poor of all races.
