题目内容

15．Susan went to a boarding school．Here is one of the letters she wrote to （61）herparents from the school．
Dear Mom and Dad，
I'm afraid I have some very bad news for you．I have been very naughty and the school principal is very angry（62）withme．She is going to write to you．You must come and take me away from here．She does not want me in the school（63）any longer．
The trouble （64）started（start） last night when I was smoking a cigarette in bed．This is against the rules，of course．We are not supposed to smoke at all．
As I was smoking，I heard footsteps coming towards the room．I did not want a teacher（65）to catch （catch） me smoking，so I threw the cigarette away．Unfortunately，the cigarette fell into the waste-paper basket，（66）whichcaught fire．There was a curtain near the waste-paper basket which caught fire，too．Soon the whole room was（67）burning（burn）．The principal phoned for the fire department．The school is a long way from the town and by the time the fire department arrived，the whole school was in（68）flames（flame）．Many of the girls are in the hospital．
The principal says that the fire was all my（69）fault and you must pay （70）forthe damage．She will send you a bill for about a million dollars．
I am very sorry about this．
Much love，Susan．

分析 Susan在寄宿学校上学，这是她写给父母的一封信．她在信中说自己因违反学校规定在宿舍吸烟而引发了一场大火，很多女生都住进了医院．校长说这场大火都是她的错误，并要她的家长赔偿损失．Susan告诉父母校长会给他们写信，让他们来把Susan带走．

解答 61．her；考查物主代词，根据句意"这是她从学校写给父母的一封信"可知此处要用形容词性物主代词her．     
62．with；考查介词，be angry with sb 是固定短语，意为"对某人感到很生气"．    
63．any longer；考查固定短语，这里用any longer与前面的not构成"not…any longer"结构，意为"不再…"．
64．started；考查动词的时态，句子中有时间状语last night，所以要用一般过去时．
65．to catch；考查动词不定式，这是固定短语"want sb to do sth"，意为"想让某人干某事"
66．which；考查关系代词，这是一个非限制性定语从句，先行词为  the waste-paper basket，所以关系代词要用which．
67．burning；考查形容词，此处可理解为现在分词作形容词，在句中作系动词was的表语，句意为"很快整个房间都着火了"．
68．flames；考查名词，in flames是固定用法，意为"在火焰中"，句意为"整个学校都着火了"．     
69．fault；考查名词，结合上下文分析，句意应为"这场火灾都是我的责任"，所以此处用fault表示"错误，责任"． 
70．for；考查介词，pay for是固定短语，意为"赔偿，为…而付钱"

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．

10．George Dawson was born in the state of Texas．He was the grandson of slaves．He began working on the family farm when he was four．When he was twelve，he worked （25）on a nearby farm to help feed his parents and four younger brothers and sisters．For the next eighty-five years，he held a number of different jobs，most of them involving hard labor．
George Dawson lived a happy life（26）even though/if conditions were difficult．When he was ten years old，he saw a young African-American man （27）murdered （murder）．He would have told people about it，but he said his （28）biggest（big） problem was his inability to read and write．
George Dawson kept it a secret that he could not read．But he said he always dreamed that he would learn．Although he had no education，he taught his children （29）to work （work） hard in school．
George Dawson's life changed in 1996．A man came to his house in Texas，and told him that adult education classes were being taught at a nearby school．So the man who （30）had signed （sign） his name with an"X"for almost one-hundred years went to school．
People wondered （31）why Mr．Dawson did not go to school earlier．He said he never had the time because of his farm work．And he never knew about adult education programs．
George Dawson did all he （32）could to learn to read，which influenced students of all ages．He spoke to young people about the importance of learning to read and write．
20．The broken English used by a Chinese journalist aroused attention of the public on English learning in China．Actually，"Chinglish"（16）has contributed （contribute） 5% to 20% of newly added English words since 1994．The Chinglish expression"long time no see"has become （17）a standard English phrase．There is even a"Save Chinglish"group on the Facebook website，（18）which has attracted over 8，000members and lists more than 2，500examples of Chinglish．The phrase"good good study，day day up"（19）invented （invent） by the Chinese has become a famous Chinglish sentence．（20）When/AsChinese people said in a humor manner that hearing Chinglish is like receiving an electric shock，native English speakers launched a campaign to save Chinglish．In the eyes of these foreigners，Chinglish is the （21）wonderful （wonder） result of an English dictionary mixing with Chinese grammar．However，there are fears （22）that Chinglish could be killed off because some people are worried that Chinglish may embarrass foreign visitors．As for attitudes（23）towards/to Chinglish，some foreigners do not think that Chinglish makes serious mistakes．In their eyes，a language will be absolutely affected by its users whether or not （24）its native speakers approve．Although rigid translation confuses foreigners who have just arrived in China，for foreigners familiar with the Chinese culture，（25）it is an interesting phenomenon caused by cultural differences．

5．Fed up with constantly having to recharge or replace batteries in your ever-expanding electronic devices？The solution may be just a few steps away．
"Energy harvesting"promises to power countless consumer devices，often with nothing more than your body's movement or heat．Dozens of companies around the world already offer such products，but many experts believe the market for the technology could explode due to electronic devices being developed for the Internet of Things．
"It's huge，"said Graham Martin，CEO of the EnOcean Alliance，a San Ramon-based group of businesses that promotes wireless energy-harvesting technologies．With the Internet of Things expected to combine billions of devices，"if they are all battery-powered，we'll have a problem because there's not enough lithium （锂） in the world，"he added．"So a lot of them will have to use energy harvesting．"
Among the most basic forms of the technology is body power．When certain materials are squeezed or stretched，the movement of their atoms creates an electrical charge．Automatic watches have employed the concept for decades，for example，by winding themselves when their user moves their arm．Now，the concept is being considered for a number of other devices．
In a contest seeking visionary ideas for wearable technologies，Intel awarded﹩5，000 for a concept to change the temperature difference between a person's body and a special piece of clothing they'd wear into electricity for mobile devices．Using sound to power devices is another energy-harvesting variation．Stanford University engineers are testing smart microchips （芯片） that create electricity from ultrasound （超声波） to power implantable （可植入的） devices that can analyze a person's nervous system or treat their diseases．
A textile （纺织品） research association in Spain is proposing to obtain electricity from radio waves that flow around everyone to power sensors sewn into clothes，which can monitor a person's heartbeat or other vital signs．
Research firm IDTechEx has estimated that annual global sales of energy-harvesting products could hit﹩2.6 billion by 2024，while WinterGreen Research predicts sales of﹩4.2 billion by 2019．
Obtaining stable energy from devices can be complex，however．For one thing，the motion that generates the electricity has to be constant to be useful．Moreover，the amount of power the devices produce depends on the person using them，according to a Columbia University study．It determined that taller people on average provide about 20percent more power than shorter ones when walking，running or cycling．
It's also unclear how eagerly consumers might welcome energy-harvesting products．While such devices are expected to cost less than battery-powered alternatives when compared over many years，experts say，people may continue buying ones with batteries merely because those would be cheaper in the short term．

74．Which"explode"in the following sentences has the most similar meaning to the word"explode"in Paragraph 2？C
A．They were clearing up when the second bomb exploded．
B．The continued tension could explode into more violence．
C．The population exploded to 40，000during the last tourist season．
D．The boss exploded when he heard of the resignation of the secretary．
75．What makes"energy harvesting"necessary according to the passage？B
A．The waste of lithium in the world．
B．The increasing number of electronic devices．
C．The development of technology．
D．The pollution caused by batteries．
76．It can be learned from the passage thatA．
A．energy-harvesting products save money in the long run
B．taller people can surely produce a larger amount of power
C．automatic watches harvest energy from the users'body heat
D．two ways of harvesting energy are mentioned in the passage
77．Which of the following might be the best title for the passage？D
A．Energy harvesting：a low-risk technology
B．Energy harvesting：a high-profit technology
C．Energy harvesting：a problem-free technology
D．Energy harvesting：an environment-friendly technology．
