19.When I agreed to stage-managed my school's production of Guys and Dolls,I had no idea of(61)what a stage manager actually did.Still,I (62)decided(decide) that it would be a(n)(63)interesting (interest)experience,and a way to get involved with theater.Besides,if there was already a director and some technicians to build the sets and run lights,how much could there be (64)left(leave)for a stage manager to do?I figured that I would spend a lot of time(65)on rehearsals(彩排)and scripts(剧本).
I was discouraged by the first rehearsal.I discovered that it was my (66)responsibility(responsible) to make sure that all of the cast actors were present,had scripts,and gave (67)me(I) their schedules before leaving the room.It was not an easy thing.I found that it was impossible (68)to get(get) all twenty-five cast members together for a group scene,since actors kept (69)calling(call)me with emergency appointments,and last-minute family gatherings.
Finally,it was the opening night.I sat to the side of the stage,(70)with my script open on a music stand in front of me.The lights came up,the show began,and I knew that it had all been worthwhile.

分析 作者在本文中讲述了自己一次难忘的经历.有一次作者被安排参加学校的音乐剧 Guys and Dolls的排练,他对剧本了解很少,但还是决定了参与这项活动,因为他认为这将是一个很有趣的经历.作者认为他应该把大量时间放在彩排和剧本上.在第一次彩排中作者遇到了问题,他发现这根本不是一件容易的事情.最终,音乐剧上演了,当作者坐在舞台前,灯光亮起表演开始时他知道所有一切都是值得的.

解答 61.what;考查引导词,这里关系代词what引导一个定语从句,作介词of的定语.             
62.decided;考查动词时态,短文用的是过去时态,前后时态要保持一致,所以动词decide要用过去时态.      
63.interesting;考查分词作形容词,分词作形容词时现在分词修饰物,形容事物的性质;过去分词修饰人,形容人的心理感受;句中修饰的是experience,故用现在分词.      
64.left;考查动词语态,分析这个句子,主语和动词leave之间是被动关系,所以动词要用被动语态.
65.on;考查固定搭配,"花费时间做某事"用"spend time in doing sth"或"spend time on sth",空格后面rehearsals是名词,所以此处用on.
66.responsibility;考查名词,形容词性物主代词my后面要跟名词形式,所以空格处用名词形式.    
67.me; 考查人称代词,此处用在动词give之后,所以用宾格形式me作动词give的宾语.            
68.to get;  考查固定句型,It is+形容词+(for sb)+to do是固定句型,不定式短语在句子中作真正的主语,it在句中作形式主语.      
69.calling; 考查动名词,结合上下文句意,空格处用动名词形式,keep doing意为"一直不间断地作某事"
70.with;考查介词,这里介词短语作伴随状语,意为"我坐在舞台的边上,剧本摆在我面前".

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.Australian cities can keep their native wildlife-but only if they can kick their habit of urban sprawl (无计划的扩展).That's the finding of a new study by leading Australian environmental researchers Jessica Sushinsky,Professor Hugh Possingham and Dr Richard Fuller of The University of Queensland.
"While urban development usually reduces the number of birds in a city,building more compact (紧凑的) cities and avoiding urban sprawl can slow these reductions greatly,"says lead author Jessica Sushinsky."Compact housing development leaves birds'homes untouched,leading to fewer losses of birds."
The researchers surveyed native and wild birds in Brisbane's urban areas,including living and industrial areas,public parks and gardens,major roadways and airports.They then used statistical modeling to find out what will happen to the birds as the city grows.The first setting was compact growth-where multiple homes are built on land that previously had only one house.The second setting was sprawling growth-a familiar pattern where homes are built here and there beyond the city's current boundaries.
The team's forecasts showed that a much greater diversity of species was lost over 20 years in the sprawling setting compared to the more compact setting."Urban sprawl resulted in the disappearance of many urban-sensitive birds-birds that only live in areas where there is native vegetation (植被),such as parklands and woodlands,"Ms Sushinsky says.
"On the other hand,we found the city with the compact development attracted more birds because it kept more of its parks and green areas."
Now the Queensland Government has adopted the more compact urban growth strategy,which,Dr Richard Fuller says,is good news for Australia's native birds.These birds are environmental specialists-they need a particular environment to do well."While compact development means smaller backyards,it can also make our entire cities more biodiverse,"according to Dr Fuller."The study shows that we should hold on to our green spaces instead of clearing them for sprawling development."
This is the first time science has modeled the effects of different urban growth strategies on birds,the researchers say."Statistical models like these are important because they help us to understand the ecological consequences of a particular decision,"says Dr Fuller.

7.In the past decade the popularity of rock climbing has greatly increased,and so has the number of injuries.It has been estimated that rock climbing is now enjoyed by more than 9million people in the US each year.Study findings revealed a 65percent increase in the number of patients that were treated in US emergency departments for rock climbingrelated injuries between 1991and 2008.
The study,published in the online issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine,found that about 40,000patients were treated in US emergency departments for rock climbingrelated injuries between 1991and 2008.The most common types of rock climbingrelated injuries were fractures (骨折) and sprains (扭伤).The ankle was the most common body part to be injured (40percent).Climbers in the study ranged in age from 2to 74,with an average age of 26.The study also found that women took up a quarter of the injuries.
Falls were the primary reason for injury with over threequarters of the injuries occurring as the result of a fall.The severity of fallrelated injuries had a lot to do with the height of the fall.Patients who were injured after falling from a height over 20feet were 10times more likely to be treated than patients who were injured falling from 20feet or lower.
"We found that the climbers who fell from heights higher than 20 feet took up 70 percent of the patients treated for a rock climbingrelated injury,"explained the study author Lara McKenzie,PhD,director at the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Hospital."This trend,combined with the fact that rock climbers have a higher hospitalization rate than other sports and recreational injuries,demonstrates the need to increase injury prevention efforts for climbers."

26.Which body part is most likely to get injured for a climber?B
A.The arm.  B.The ankle.  C.The knee.  D.The hand.

4.EDGEWOOD-Every morning at Dixie Heights High school,customers pour into a special experiment:the district's first coffee shop run mostly by students with special learning needs.
Well before classes start,students and teachers order Lattes,Cappuccinos and Hot Chocolates.Then,during the first period,teachers call in orders on their room phones,and students make deliveries.By closing time at 9:20a.m.,the shop usually sells 90drinks."Whoever made the chi tea,Ms.Schatzman says it was good,"Christy McKinley,a second year student,announced recently,after hanging up with the teacher.
The shop is called the Dixie PIT,which stands for Power in Transition.Although some of the students are not disabled,many are,and the PIT helps them prepare for life after high school.They learn not only how to run a coffee shop but also how to deal with their affairs.They keep a timecard and receive paychecks,which they keep in check registers.
Special-education teachers Kim Chevalier and Sue Casey introduced the Dixie PIT from a similar program at Kennesaw Mountain High School in Georgia.Not that it was easy.Chevalier's first problem to overcome was product-related.Should schools be selling coffee?What about sugar content?Kenton County Food Service Director Ginger Gray helped.She made sure all the drinks,which use non-fat milk,fell within nutrition guidelines.
21.The coffee shop is mostly run byC.
A.all the students                           
B.all the teachers
C.students with special learning needs          
D.some special-education teachers
22.When does the coffee shop close?B
A.In the early morning.
B.At 9:20a.m.
C.At 9a.m.
D.In the afternoon.
23.The Dixie PIT program was introduced in order toD.
A.raise money for school affairs                 
B.do some research on nutrition
C.supply teachers with drinks                   
D.develop students'practical skills.
18.As the proverb goes,man struggles upwards; water flows downwards.Water runs downhill from mountaintops to streams,to rivers and to oceans.But downhill isn't the only way that water moves.A new study measures how water travels from country to country for human consumption.This flow isn't the type we usually think about.These scientists looked at the water used to grow and make the products which get shipped from nation to nation as imports or exports.They call this a flow of"virtual water".
We typically think about water as the liquid that flows from a tap.However,92%of the water used by people goes into growing crops,according to a water researcher Arjen Hoekstra.He recently studied the hidden travels of virtual water used in products made from things like crops and meats.These products are shipped around the world.
For example,consider a sugary soft drink.Hoekstra estimated that to produce one half-liter of the drink requires between 170and 310liters of water-about 95% is used to grow and process the ingredients(原料).Another 4% goes into the packaging and labeling.In Hoekstra's calculation,when one country produces a half-liter of soda and sells it abroad,it exports as much virtual water as would fill a large refrigerator.
According to Hoekstra's new report,dry countries like Israel and Kuwait,both in the Middle East,get the majority of their virtual water from other countries,through imported products.More surprisingly,some wetter countries,like the Netherlands and the United Kingdom,also get the majority of their virtual water from other places.That means that most of the water used to grow or produce the products and food consumed in those countries came from other countries.

25.The proverb in Paragraph One is used toC.
A.inspire readers to struggle upward        
B.tell a law of nature
C.introduce the topic of the passage         
D.summarize the main idea of the passage
26.In which countries does most part of virtual water come from outside?C.
A.The United Kingdom and China         
B.America and Israel
C.The Netherlands and Kuwait            
D.The Netherlands and America
27.What can be a suitable title for the passage?D
A.Benefits of Virtual Water             
B.Hidden Uses of Water
C.Crops and Virtual Water             
D.Water's Worldwide Travels
28.Where does the passage probably come from?A
A.A science news report.
B.A newspaper advertisement.
C.A book review.
D.A science fiction story.
