2．---Are you pleased with what he has done？
---It couldn't be _______．Why didn't he put more effort into his work？（　　）
A．any worseB．much betterC．so badD．the best

分析 ---你对他所做的一切还满意吗？
---不太满意．他为什么不把更多的精力投入到工作中呢？

解答 答案：A  
本句问的是"你对他所做的一切还满意吗？"根据答语"Why didn't he put more effort into his work？他为什么不把更多的精力投入到工作中呢？"可知，"It couldn't be _______．"应该是不满意．"it couldn't  be+比较级"是比较级的否定形式表示最高级．意为没有比…更…，所以A的意思是，"没有比这更遭的了"．B 表达的是"没有比这更好的了"； C"也没那么差"；D为最高级，表达的是"不是最差的"，所以B C D和句子表达的意思与题意都不相符．故选A

点评 本题考查了"it couldn't be+比较级"结构，它是比较级的否定形式表示最高级．意为"没有比…更…"，了解这一点对做本题很关键；另外一点是学会根据句子提供的语境，去判断句意．

10．The Netherlands on Monday introduced its first-ever"intelligent bicycle，fitted with electronic devices to help bring clown the high accident rate among elderly cyclists in the bicycle-mad country．
Developed for the government by the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research （TNO），the intelligent bicycle，runs on electricity．A commercial-available bicycle is expected to be on the market in the next two years and should sell for between 1，700 to 3，200 euros per bicycle．
The devices on the bike are linked through an onboard computer with a vibrating （震动的） warning system fitted in the bicycle's saddle and handlebars to warn cyclists of the coming danger．
The saddle vibrates when other cyclists approach from  behind，while，the handlebars do the same when barriers appear ahead．
"Accidents often happen when cyclists look behind them or get a fright when they are passed at high speed，"said Maurice Kwakkernaat，one of TNO's research scientists involved in the project．"The onboard system technology has already been at work in the car industry，"he said．
''More and more elderly people are using a bicycle，not only for short distances，but also for longer distances，"Dutch Environment and Infrastructure Minister Melanie Schultz van Haegen told AFP．"This type of bicycle is truly needed in the Netherlands because it will help us bring down the number of elderly people who are injured every year and allow them to continue to enjoy cycling，"she said．
In the Netherlands，bicycles outnumber the population of 17 million by at least one million and there are some 25，000 km of bicycle path in the country．Those statistics are set to grow as more and more people take to two-wheeled transport，leading to an increased risk of injury．
Last year，184 cyclists died in the country，of which 124，or 67%，were older than 65，according to the Central Statistics Office．The year before，200 cyclists died，the majority of victims also being elderly．
The current model weighs 25 kilograms but researchers are working on making the onboard systems smaller．
63．The intelligent bicycle is aimed toD．
A．protect the environment                 
B．help reduce traffic pressure
C．popularize the use of bicycles            
D．improve safety for elderly cyclists
64．Which part of the intelligent bicycle will vibrate when other cyclists approach it from behind？A
A．The saddle．                           
B．The wheels．
C．The handlebars．                       
D．The onboard computer．
65．We can learn from the passage thatD．
 A．the elderly ride bicycles wherever they go

15．Multitasking
People who multitask all the time may be the worst at doing two things at once，a new research suggests．The findings，based on performances and self-evaluation by about 275college students，indicate that many people multitask not out of a desire to increase productivity，but because they are easily distracted （分心） and can't focus on one activity．And"those people turn out to be the worst at handling different things，"said David Sanbonmatsu，a psychologist at the University of Utah．
Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues gave the students a set of tests and asked them to report how often they multitasked，how good they thought they were at it，and how sensation-seeking （寻求刺激） or imperative （冲动）
they were．They then evaluated the participants'multitasking ability with a tricky mental task that required the students to do simple mathematical calculations while remembering a set of letters．
Not surprisingly，the scientists said，most people thought they were better than average at multitasking，and those who thought they were better at it were more likely to report using a cellphone while driving or viewing multiple kinds of media at once．But those who frequently deal with many things at the same time were found to perform the worst at the actual multitasking test．They also were more likely to admit to sensation-seeking and impulsive behavior，which connects with how easily people get bored and distracted．
"People multitask not because it's going to lead to greater productivity，but because they're distractible，and they get sucked into things that are not as important．"Sanbonmatsu said．
Adam Gazzaley，a researcher at the University of California，San Francisco，who was not a member of the research group，said one limitation of the study was that it couldn't find out whether people who start out less focusedtoward multitasking or whether people's recognizing and understanding abilities change as a result of multitasking．
The findings do suggest，however，why the sensation-seeker who multitask the most may enjoy risky distracted driving．"People who are multitasking are generally less sensitive to risky situations．"said Paul Atchley，another researcher not in the group．"This may partly explain why people go in for these situations even though they're dangerous．"

67．The research led by Sanbonmatsu indicates that people who multitaskD．
A．seek high productivity constantly
B．prefer handling different things when getting bored
C．are more focused when doing many things at a time
D．have the poorest results in doing various things at the same time
68．When Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues conducted their research，theyA．
A．assessed the multitasking ability of the students
B．evaluated the academic achievements of the students
C．analyzed the effects of the participants'tricky mental tasks
D．measured the changes of the students'understanding ability
69．According to Sanbonmatsu，people multitask because of theirC．
A．limited power in calculation
B．interests in doing things differently
C．inability to concentrate on one task 
D．impulsive desire to try new things
70．From the last paragraph，we can learn that multitaskers usuallyC．
A．drive very skillfully
B．go in for different tasks
C．fail to react quickly to potential dangers
D．refuse to explain the reasons for their behavior．
8．Growing up in rural Malawi，Africa，William Kamkwamba learned to accept that life was hard．
He lived with his parents and seven sisters in a small clay house without electricity or running water．Like most boys in his village，William was expected to assist his parents on the family farm，as well as keep up with his school work．Each night，like most Malawians，his family went to bed early because the kerosene oil they needed to light the lamps was costly．
A terrible drought in 2000 left many Malawians hungry，and William's family was no exception．
In 2003 at the age of 13，William and many other children were forced to drop out of school when their parents could no longer afford his schooling．William had to work even harder to help his family，but he wasn't ready to give up his education．He went to the local library and took out some books to study．One book，called Using Energy，sparked William's interest in science and gave him an idea that significantly changed his future．
In the book，William found a picture of a windmill （风车），and a brief description of how it could be used to generate electricity from wind．He knew that there was plenty of wind in his village，and realized that if he could build a windmill like that，he could give his family and the．people in his village a much better life．There was just one problem．The book didn't explain how to build a windmill，and neither did any of the other books in the library．
What happened over the next year demonstrated William's incredible ambition and determination．He began to collect any kinds of materials he thought could be useful-scraps of wood，broken bicycles，old shoes-and started to build a windmill next to his family's house．He endured many challenges and failures．Other people in his village called him crazy and said his idea would never work．Finally，at the age of 14，William completed his first windmill．When they saw electric lights and heard the sound of music on the radio coming from William^house，the village people came running．He had done it．William Kamkwamba had found a way to capture the wind．
Kamkwamba's autobiography （自传），The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind^tells the story of how the rest of the world came to know about his achievements．With the help of international supporters，his village now has clean running water，solar powered lighting，and electric power．As a result of his actions，Kamkwamba was invited to study engineering at Dartmouth College，one of the top-ranking universities in the U．S．He also travels the world and gives talks about how he made his dream a reality．

56．William went to the local library becauseC．
A．he wanted to find some materials for his invention   
B．it was his favorite way to kill time and relax
C．he wanted to continue his education    
D．it was believed to be a way to change his fate
57．Paragraph 3is mainly aboutB．
