9．Jane is unhappy now，for she has _______ for two weeks．（　　）
A．been out of jobB．been out of work
C．lost her jobD．been out of jobs

分析 简现在很不开心，因为她已经失业有2周了．

解答 答案：B been out of job 失业；been out of work 失业； lost her job 丢失工作； been out of jobs 失业．
本题干中有一个时间状语，其为for+一段时间，该类时间状语一般表明一种状态且不与表瞬间动作的动词连用，因此排除C．work 与job均为工作之意，work为不可数名词，job为可数名词，在表状态的时候，失业应表达为固定短语搭配：be out of work，没有be out of job的表达，最后联系句子，答案应为B．

点评 本题考查介词短语的语义辨析，考生在平时的学习中应注意积累相应的短语和词汇，并牢记其意思．在做题时，将短语的意思和题干相结合，从语法、句子结构尤其是句意上去判断，句意通顺，符合逻辑，即正确答案．

17．Our friendships are more important than we can ever imagine．Your smiling face can bring life to a friend that's feeling down．So never forget that you are an important part of someone's life．Someone needs you today．Here is such a story．
Hospital nurses thought that the 73-year-old James Wathen had reached the end of his road．He stopped eating，he could hardly speak，and he was very weak．But those all changed one day when he told a nurse that he missed his dog．James hadn't seen his one-eyed dog named Bubba after he was sent to the hospital weeks before．
So a wonderful team of nurses got together to find James companion，Bubba．They all held on the hope that this reunion（团聚）would make their patient come alive again．
They successfully found Bubba，but ever since Bubba was separated from James，he also became sick．The dog didn't know where James was，and believe it or not，they both stopped eating at about the same time．The team of nurses worked hard and planned a very special visit for James that weekend．
In their 30-minute visit，Bubba's eyes got real bright and he was like a different dog．James also became very bright，and he was a different man，too．"He has done a complete turnaround．He is speaking，he is sitting up，and he is eating．He isn't like the same guy，"a nurse said．"And the dog is eating and doing better now，too．"
From the story we can see that friendships are really more important than we can ever imagine，even between human beings and animals．

14．A weak old man lived with his son，his daughter-in-law，and his four-year-old grandson．His eyes couldn't see clearly，his hands trembled，and his step was unstable．
The family would eat together nightly at the dinner table．But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult．Peas rolled off his spoon，dropping to the floor．When he grasped his glass of milk，it often spilled clumsily at the tablecloth．
With this happening almost every night，the son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess．So they decided to do something with the old man-they set a small table at the corner．There，the grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed their dinner at the dinner table．Since the grandfather had broken a dish or two，his food was served in wooden bowls．Sometimes when the family glanced in the grandfather's direction，he had a tear in his eye as he ate alone．Still，the only words the couple had for him were sharp warnings when he dropped a fork or spilled food．The four-year-old watched it all in silence．
One evening，before supper，the father noticed his son playing with wood pieces on the floor．He asked the child sweetly："What are you making？"Just as sweetly，the boy replied，"Oh，I'm making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up．"The four-year-old smiled and went back to work．
These words so struck the parents that they were speechless．Then tears streamed down their cheeks．Though no words were spoken，both knew what must be done．That evening，the husband took the grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table．
For the rest of his days，the grandfather ate every meal with the family．And for some reason，neither the husband nor the wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped，milk was spilled or the table cloth was soiled．

1．How to get started
You might have more than one hundred channels on cable to choose； （71）F  However，the only real way to find idea is to get out there，see it and experience it．（72）A Children under two years old travel free，so there is no excuse．Ideally you should discover one new city or country a year．Go to as many places as you have pages in your passports．
The tourist can be very hard； the trick is to mix with the local people，respect their culture and the doors will open for you to explore．
（73）E．You can see what it looks like in the picture，but you don't know what it is like on the inside until you have taken a bite．Take a risk and find a new favorite．
Films and books are a great source of inspiration．The sound of Music will send you to Salzburg，Moulin Rouge to Paris； Picnic at Hanging Rock to Australia．（74）G While Brain Stocker's Dracula will pack you off to Pennsylvania．
You will，of course，need to know something special ahead of time．You need to know the culture of the country you are visiting．In some countries，such as Saudi Arabia，shoulders should be covered．In Japan it is considered the height of bad manners to blow your nose in the street．（75）C
If you still don't feel you've found the place you are looking for，you could cautiously ask to see a selection of your friends'holiday plans，or go to the tourism website to see what destination they have on offer．

A．Travel should start at an early age．
B．Adults may travel as much as possible．
C．It is worth checking things out before signing the deposit （保证金）．

E．Picking a destination is like deciding which chocolate to Choose from a box．
F．You may be able to google any piece of information you like on the Internet．
G．If you are feeling a literary dip into Tess of the D'Urbervilles，you will head to Dorset．
18．It is easy to lose patience with science today．The questions are pressing：How dangerous is air pollution？What about low-level radiation？When will that horrible earthquake strike California？And why can't we predict weather better？But the evidence is often described as"uncertain"，forcing scientists to base their points of view almost as much on intuition（直觉）as on science．
When historians and philosophers of science listen to these questions，some conclude that science may not be able to solve all these problems any time soon． The unknowns can grow into riddles that are impossible to solve． Because of the unstable and changing state of the earth's atmosphere，for example，scientists have struggled for centuries to predict the weather with precision（精确） but failed．
The case is different for scientists of astronomy． For example，they think that the gravitational force of a nearby space vehicle，though tiny，is able to change the path of a much larger planet if the vehicle spends enough time close to it． With the aid of Newton's laws of gravitational attraction，ground controllers can predict the path of a planetary probe （探测仪）-or satellite-with incredible accuracy． They do this by calculating the gravitational force from each of the passing planets until the probe speeds beyond the edge of the solar system．A much more difficult task is to calculate what happens when two or three times of such force pull on the probe at the same time． Such procedures can，of course，be very difficult，but for experiments，they are effective．
This range of questions-from simple problems to those impossibly complex-has resulted in nicknames for various fields of study："soft"sciences and"hard"sciences．"Soft"sciences admit a great degree of uncertainty． Academicians tend to judge fields such as sociology，psychology，and political science as"soft"because they are assumed to be understandable，of unnecessary mathematical accuracy，and concerned with everyday affairs such as interpersonal relationships． However，"hard"sciences，such as astronomy and chemistry，are said to offer precise answers． Precise definitions for"hard"sciences vary，but the characteristics of"hard"sciences include：producing testable predictions； performing controlled experiments； relying on quantifiable data and mathematical models； a high degree of accuracy and objectivity； and generally applying a pure form of the scientific method．

B．ground controllers can affect the gravitational force of planets
C．calculating the probe speeds beyond the solar system is possible
