【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了篮球这项运动发明的过程,以及在世界范围的流行情况。

1考查名词。句意:篮球运动是由加拿大人奈史密斯博士发明的,他曾在一所大学担任体育教师。此处表示“教师”应用名词instructor。故填instructor

2考查冠词。根据短语a lack of表示“缺乏,缺少”,故填a

3考查形容词。句意:加拿大的冬天很冷,所以学生们不愿意做户外活动。结合上文were可知应填形容词作表语,且表示“不愿意的”应用unwilling。故填unwilling

4考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知play在句中做非谓语动词,与逻辑主语game构成被动关系,故用过去分词。故填played

5考查动词时态。本句中hang在句中做谓语,且根据上文In December of 1891可知动作发生在过去应用一般过去时。故填hung

6考查代词。句意:在不到一年的时间里,美国和加拿大都开始打篮球了。根据短语both…and…“两者都……”,故填both

7考查副词。根据上文Five years为一段时间,后跟副词later,表示“……之后”,故填later

8考查介词。根据短语by that time表示“到那个时候”,故填By

9考查副词。修饰动词spread应用副词quickly,表示“迅速地”。故填quickly

10考查动词时态语态。本句中主语与谓语动词构成被动关系,且根据上文In 1906可知应用一般过去时,主语为a metal ring,谓语用第三人称单数。故填was used

当分词做状语的时候,如果构成分词的动词与句子的主语构成主动关系,就使用现在分词做状语;当二者构成被动关系,使用过去分词做状语。如果分词的动作发生在谓语动词之前,就使用分词的完成式。如果分词与句子的主语没有关系,可以使用状语从句或者独立主格结构。

如第四小题,分析句子结构可知play在句中做非谓语动词,与逻辑主语game构成被动关系,故用过去分词。故填played

【题目】 Bats are the only mammals that can fly a great distance, but they have another ability. Many bats live a very long time for an animal of their size. European researchers are studying bats to understand why they live so long. They hope to make discoveries aimed at fighting the aging process in human beings.

Last week, the group of scientists said they had identified important biological qualities in some bat species. The group studied the bats’ chromosomes (染色体), a line of genes found in the nucleus of cells. The scientists were most interested in structures connected to the ends of the chromosomes. They are called telomeres (端粒), which protect the ends of chromosomes and shorten each time a cell divides. Scientists believe this shortening process causes cells to break down. They say this is what cause aging.

The European researchers studied 493 bats from four bat species. The group used information that had been gathered over more than 60 years. Of these animals, the greater mouse-eared bat generally lived the longest, an average of 37 years. The scientists said this and a related species, which are grouped together under the name Myotis, had telomeres that did not shorten with age. Another Myotis bat holds the record for the oldest age, reaching 41 years. The scientists’ findings suggest that these bats’ cells have the ability to maintain and repair their telomeres. This helps guard against the aging process.

Based on its body size, a bat like the greater mouse-eared bat would be expected to live four years. But, these mammals have been found to live nearly 10 times longer than that. The scientists found that only 19 species of mammals live longer than humans when their body size is considered. Eighteen of these are bats.

1Why are European researchers studying bats?

A.To learn the similar habits between bats and human beings.

B.To find out why the greater mouse-eared bats live a long life.

C.To try to understand why bats prefer to fly during the night.

D.To discover a good way to prevent human beings from aging.

2What does the second paragraph mainly explain to us?

A.The structures of the bats’ chromosomes.B.What causes aging biologically.

C.The functions of telomeres.D.What causes cells to break down.

3Why do the greater mouse-eared bat and another Myotis bat live so long?

A.They are grouped together under the name Myotis.

B.Their telomeres are decreasing with age.

C.Their cells are able to keep up and fix their telomeres.

D.They have more telomeres than human beings do.

4What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.Bats live 10 times longer than other mammals.

B.Bats enjoy the longest life among mammals.

C.The greater mouse-eared bat and other bats should have lived longer.

D.Many bats live longer than human beings considering their body size.

【题目】 Although books are still popular with teenagers, most of them spend more of their leisure time staring at their phone than reading a paperbook..1Instead of publishing whole book at once, they produce very short chapters, which they send once a week to their readers by text message.

2Many are written by high school or university students who are very familiar with the topics that teenagers are interested in. Common themes are love, tragedy and betrayal, and the stories often deal with difficult or controversial issues.

Twenty-one-year-old Rin wrote her novel over a six-month period in spare moments, often while commuting on the train.3Her book sold 40000 copies and was number five in the Japanese bestseller list. Rin said that her mother had had no idea that she had been writing a novel and was therefore very surprised when she saw a book with her daughter's name on it

4Chapters have no more than 200 words, and often just 50-100 words. Sentences are short and there are no descriptions of anything or anybody because there isn't space. The text mostly consists of dialogue and the language is direct, conveying a lot in a few words.

In 2009, a young Japanese writer called Takatsu, who lives in Canada, began writing the first English language cell phone novel, Secondhand Memories. Takatsu had read an English translation of Rin’s story and had been impressed by its simple and emotional language. It was a feature he deliberately copied when he started writing Secondhand Memories.5He now believes that, in English, cell phone novels have a powerful and poetic identity of their own. Cell phone novels encourage young people to engage in fiction, even those who would not normally pick up a book. They could be described as ten novels for the 21st century.

A. Books are sometimes regarded as old-fashioned and difficult to read.

B. In response 10 this trend, some smart young authors have changed the way they write.

C. However, as the story progressed, the style gradually evolved into something different.

D. She typed out chapters on her phone and uploaded them onto a popular website for cell phone authors.

E. No money is made from cell phone novels unless they are published as books.

F. The style of cell phone novels has evolved to suit the medium.

G. Although the idea originated in Japan, cell phone novels have also appeared in the rest of world.

【题目】 Artificial intelligence (AD) technology may soon be a useful tool for doctors. It may help them better understand and treat diseases like breast cancer in ways that were never before possible.

Rishi Rawat, who teaches AI at the University of Southern California's (USC) Clinical Science Center in Los Angeles, is part of a team of scientists who are researching how AI and machine learning can more easily recognize cancerous growths in the breast.

Rawat provides information about cancer cells to a computer. He says this data helps the machine learn. “... You can put the data into them and they will learn the patterns and the pattern recognition that's important to making decisions"" David Agus, another USC researcher, believes that machines are not going to take the place of doctors, but they will help make certain decisions and look for things that the human brain can't recognize.

Once a confirmed cancerous growth is removed, doctors still have to treat the patient to reduce the risk of cancer returning. The form of treatment depends on the kind of cancer. Currently, researchers take a thin piece of tissue, put it on a small piece of glass and add color to better see the cells. The process could take days or even longer. Scientists say artificial intelligence can do something better than just count cells. Through machine learning, it can recognize complex patterns or structures, and learn how the cells are organized. They hope that machines will soon be able to make a quick identification of cancer that is free of human mistakes.

"All of a sudden, we have the computing power to really do it in real time...We couldn't have done this, but now it's all changed."" Agus adds that the process could be done for almost no cost in the developing world." He says that having a large amount of information about patients is important for a machine to effectively do its job in medicine.

The USC researchers are now only studying breast cancer. But doctors predict artificial intelligence will one day make a difference in all forms of cancer.

1What does the author intend to tell us?

A.AI technology will aid to predict some cancers.

B.Doctors will be replaced by AI machines.

C.AI technology will help cancer treatment.

D.Doctors will get improved with AI technology.

2What is vital for an AI machine to do its medical job according to USC researchers?

A.Cell counting machines.B.Well designed process.

C.Patterns of cancer.D.Enough information of patients.

3What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A.When is the best time to remove cancer.B.Why USC researchers argue about AI.

C.What treatment AI technology provides.D.How AI technology helps in medicine.

4What section of a magazine is the text probably taken from?

A.Entertainment & Arts.B.Science & Technology.

C.World News.D.Health Report.
