5.A strong earthquake hitting the capital city last year,gone     the beauty together with many historical sites.(  )
A.isB.wasC.beingD.were

分析 去年,一次强烈的地震袭击了首都,很多历史遗址和美景一起全都消失不见了.

解答 答案B.
"A strong earthquake hitting the capital city last year"是独立主格结构,a strong earthquake是现在分词hitting的逻辑主语.主句是把表语gone置于句首,句子使用了全倒装,其结构为"表语+系动词+主语".我们可以把句子的语序调整为"the beauty together with many historical sites      gone".根据"句子的主语后面带有as well as,rather than,like,but,except,besides,with,along with,together with,including,in addition to 等连接的名词时,谓语动词的单复数问题仍然与句首的主语保持一致,若主语为单数,谓语则用单数,若主语为复数,谓语则用复数."可知:句子的主语是the beauty,故应使用单数的谓语动词,排除D项;根据上文的时间状语last year,排除A项;being是非谓语动词,可直接排除C项.通过以上分析可知答案选B.

点评 本题既考查了主谓一致又考查了倒装句.英语中的一致主要包括主语和谓语在人称和数上的一致、时态一致、名词和其代词的一致.主语和谓语保持一致叫主谓一致,即谓语动词的形式必须随着主语单、复数形式的变化而变化.由as well as,together with,besides,like,along with,with but,except,accompanied by,rather than,including连接两个名词作主语,谓语单复数形式应由连接词前的名词而定.

5.   In Silicon Valley,it's never too early to become an entrepreneur.Just ask 13-year-old David Moore.The eighth-grader has launched a company last October to develop low-cost machines to print Braille (布莱叶盲文).David built a Braille printer with a Lego Mindstorms EV3kit as a school science fair project last year after he asked his parents a simple question:How do blind people read?"Google it,"they told him.David then did some online research and was shocked to learn that Braille printers cost at least 2,000dollars-too expensive for most blind readers.
"I just thought that price should not be there.I know that there is a simpler way to do this,"said David,who demonstrated how his printer works at the kitchen table where he spent many late nights building it.David wants to improve the"Braigo"-a name that combines Braille and Lego-and develop a desktop Braille printer that costs around 350dollars and weighs just a few pounds,compared with current models that can weigh more than 20pounds."My end goal would probably be having most of the blind people…using my Braille printer,"said David,who lives in the Silicon Valley suburb of Santa Clara,just minutes away from Intel headquarters.
 After the Braigo won numerous awards and enthusiastic support from the blind community,David started Braigo Labs last summer with an initial 35,000dollars investment from his dad."We as parents started to get involved more,thinking that he's on to something and this new way process has to continue,"said his father,Matthew Moore,an engineer who works for Intel.
Intel officials were so impressed with David's printer that in November they invested an undisclosed sum in his start-up.They believe he's the youngest entrepreneur to receive venture capital money invested in exchange for a financial stake in the company."He's solving a real problem,and he wants to go off and challenge an existing industry,"said Edward Ross,director of Inventor Platforms at Intel.Now the company is using the money to hire professional engineers and advisers to help design and build Braille printers based on David's ideas.It aims to have a prototype (样机) ready for blind organizations to test this summer and have a Braigo printer on the market later this year.

Augusto Esquivel is a sculptor who, in his own words, is “crazy with comparisons of reality and potential and the balance between them.” Perhaps the best example of what he’s talking about are his most famous creations: the suspended(悬挂的) button sculptures.

Made entirely from buttons hanging on various lengths of string, Esquivel’s sculptures are made to look like common objects: a piano, a gumball machine, and even a toilet. If it wasn’t for the clear string hanging above, these objects, these sculptures, would look solid, yet you can put your hands right through them. The process starts with him deciding on a subject and setting the acrylic (丙烯酸树脂)from where the buttons are being suspended. He buys buttons of different shapes and sizes, paints them with spray paint, and carefully hangs them. After that, it’s a manner of hanging each individual button, which takes a lot of time. For his piano, for example, he individually hung over 60 pounds worth of tiny buttons.

Esquivel’s sculptures, while mostly housed inside art galleries, perfectly capture one of the main principles of street art: something that is eye-catching and something that invites interaction. Often the best sculptures outside the art galleries aren’t the ones behind guards and fencing, but the ones people can go right up to and touch. In Vancouver, a series of laughing old men are attracting people for pictures and to just generally hang around, but the people who simply walk by and see the sculptures almost always leave with a smile on their face. That’s good street art: it draws the viewer in rather than relying on a gallery to draw in an audience and point them to certain pieces.

Esquivel’s art is not only a presentation of talent, something that mentions larger philosophical questions, like the ones he stated above, but also just the right combination of interesting idea and painstaking work. One can look at his work in a critical way, or simply appreciate his idea and execution(艺术品的制作).
