题目内容

17.Born in Amherst,Massachusetts,to a successful family,Elizabeth Dickinson was an American poet.She studied at Mount Holyoke Female Seminary before (61)returning(return) to her family's house in Amherst where she lived (62)a peaceful life.She kept in touch with her friends by writing letters and was (63)unwilling(willing) to greet guests or,later in life,even leave her room.
Dickinson's poems are unique(独一无二的) for the time she lived in; they contain short lines,typically lack titles,and often use half rhyme.Many of her poems deal (64)with themes(主题) of death and immortality(永生).Dickinson wrote about 1,800poems during her lifetime,but few of (65)them were published.Although most of her friends probably knew about Dickinson's writing,they didn't know (66)that she had produced so many poems until after her death in 1886,when her younger sister Lavinia discovered the place where the poems were hidden.(67)If her sister had not discovered them,the broadness of Dickinson's work wouldn't have become known.
Dickinson's first collection of poetry was published in 1890,the content(内容) of (68)whichwas heavily edited(编辑) by the publishers (69)to fit (fit) the conventional poetic rules of the time.A complete and mostly unedited collection of her poetry became available for the first time in 1955.Now Dickinson (70)is considered (consider) to be one of the most important American poets.

分析 本文介绍美国诗人Elizabeth Dickinson,她的诗的特点是:短行,缺少主题,半压韵,主要涉及死亡和永生的主题.在她死后,她的大部分诗歌才被发现.现在,她被认为是最重要的美国诗人之一.

解答 61.returning  62.a   63.unwilling  64.with   65.them  
66.that      67.If   68.which     69.to fit  70.is considered
61.returning 考查动名词.before是介词,后接动词时用动名词形式.
62.a 考查冠词.live a…life意为"守着…的生活",是固定搭配.
63.unwilling 考查形容词.根据前文She kept in touch with her friends by writing letters,那下文便是:不愿问候客人,willing的反义词是unwilling.
64.with 考查固定搭配.deal with意为"论述,涉及",是固定搭配.
65.them 考查代词.them指代poems.
66.that 考查连词. 分析句子结构可知这是一个宾语从句,宾语从句的主、谓、宾都有,用连接词that.
67.If 考查虚拟语气.分析句子结构可知,此处是表示与过去事实相反的虚拟语气. 
68.which 考查定语从句.分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句,先行词collection指代物,用关系代词which.  
69.to fit 考查动词不定式.不定式表示目的,即:以适合当时传统诗歌规则.
70.is considered 考查动词时态和语态.consider sb.to be…认为某人是…,Dickinson与consider之间是动宾关系,因句中有now表示现在时间,其被动语态是:sb.is considered to be.

7.The most common mistakes (33)leading (lead) to a bad back are poor body mechanics and unhealthy habits.How you move objects,your posture,not stretching before exercising and the wrong kind of shoes all contribute to one of the most common medical problems today.Back pain affects eight out of 10people in their lifetime,according to the National Institutes of Health.
Dr.Douglas Won,founder and director of Minimally Invasive SpineCARE and Star Medical Center in Plano,Texas,offers some tips to improve back health:
First,maintain proper body mechanics:
•Stretch (34)before exercising or doing any tough activity.Push heavy objects across the floor instead of pulling or lifting them.
•(35)When lifting is necessary,lift with your knees,not your back.
•Avoid sudden movements and"twisting"motions when carrying objects--even a bag of groceries can do serious harm when (36)handled (handle) improperly.
•Maintain good posture as often as possible.When standing,your weight (37)should be balanced smoothly and regularly on both feet to avoid injuring your muscles and joints.
•Wear proper shoes.High-heeled shoes are common criminals,but even tennis shoes can be (38)a problem if they don't provide you with proper support.
Next,adopt healthy habits:
•Exercise regularly:The best programs for back health include basic (39)strengthening (strengthen) and cardiovascular (心血管的) exercises.
•Reduce stress:When stressed,the body tightens (40)its/the muscles.This can result in spasms (痉挛),"muscle twists"and stressed nerves that are painful and can lead to more serious problems.
8.Somebody might say,"I want to be a big fish,as big as Bill Gates,in a big pool,as large as Microsoft."However,we all know it is  (36)A for a green hand(新手) in the field.Then you have to  (37)C the question carefully.No matter (38)D side you choose to take,you have your chance to succeed.Now the problem is which can provide you more (39)B.
I choose to be a big fish in a small pool.A big company may provide you a (40)A starting point,but a small company offers you opportunity to practice  various (41)C.During the (42)D,you may (43)B  yourself,recognize your (44)C  points and find your potentiality(潜力).What's more,(45)A  so many limitations and rules in a small company,if you are competent you have (46)D chances to climb to a higher point.Finally,being a big fish (although) in a small pool,gives a green hand (47)C self-confidence which is quite important for (48)B.
(49)B,you should not be confined(使局限) to your small pool,and be(50)A with being a big fish there.You should always dream of being a big fish in a big pool!

12.If you are a male and you are reading this,congratulations:you are a survivor.According to statistics,you are more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer than a woman,and nine times more likely to die of AIDS.Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term,about 78years for men in Australia,you will die on average five years before a woman.
There are many reasons for this,men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke,but perhaps more importantly,men don't go to the doctor.
"Men aren't seeing doctors as often as they should,"says Dr.Gullotta,"This is particularly so for the over-40s,when diseases tend to strike."Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two.For those over 45,it should be at least once a year.
According to a recent survey,95%of women aged between 15and early 40s see a doctor once a year,compared to 70% of men in the same age group.
"A lot of men think they are invincible (不可战胜的)"Gullotta says"They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think'Dear me,if it could happen to him,…'"
Then there is the ostrich (鸵鸟)approach,"Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know,"says Dr.Ross Cartmill."Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies,"Cartmill says.He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups.Regular check-ups for men would inevitably(不可避免地) place stress on the public purse.Cartmill says."But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases.Besides,the final cost is far greater."

68.What does the author state is the most important reason men die five years earlier on average than women?C
A.Men drink and smoke much more than women.
B.Men aren't as cautious as women in face of danger.
C.Men don't seek medical care as often as women.
D.Men are more likely to suffer from fatal diseases.
69.Which of the following best completes the sentence"Dear me,if it could happen to him,…"in paragraph5?D
A.I should avoid playing golf.
B.I should consider myself lucky.
C.it would be a big misfortune.
D.it could happen to me,too.
70.What does Dr.Ross Cartmill mean by"the ostrich approach"in paragraph6?C
A.A new treatment for certain psychological problems.
B.Refusal to get medical treatment for fear of the pain involved.
C.Unwillingness to find out about one's disease because of fear.
D.A casual attitude towards one's health conditions.
71.What does Cartmill say about regular check-ups for men?B
A.They may increase public expenses.
B.They will save money in the long run.
C.They may cause psychological stress on men.
D.They will enable men to live as long as women.
9.We all have an idea about the common types of environmental problems.However,light pollution may be a new term to many of us.But,the fact is,it does affect mankind,other living forms and the environment as a whole.
What is light pollution?It presents all forms of misused man-made light.The obvious cause of light pollution is the use of outdoor lighting products improperly.It can be office lighting,car headlights,station lights,streetlights and many more.
Light pollution is harmful to both animals and plants.Upon studies,it is found that obvious effects  are observed in the behaviour of nocturnal animals.Needless to mention,bright light at night makes it difficult for these animals to hunt,wander and perform their regular activities.Light pollution is directly or indirectly responsible for causing several diseases.Its effects are related to disturbance in the physical rhythm.It contributes to risks of developing cancerous cells.So,it's nothing less than a threat to human health.
You have already seen the negative effects of light pollution on animals and human health.Apart from this,the actual cost of misused light is about millions of dollars every year.It also leads to the release of greenhouse gases and global warming.After all,fuels are used for producing electricity.
While outdoor lighting and using man-made lighting products are part of our modern lifestyle,some simple ways will surely help in reducing light pollution.For example,while installing outdoor lighting,make sure that they are pointed downwards.Also,use only the required lighting equipment for both home and offices.Believe it or not,many people living in the urban areas cannot view clear sky and stars at night.Let's contribute our part in reducing the pollution.

32.What can we learn about light pollution?A
A.It is a negative fruit of light technology.
B.It has no effect on plants
C.It contributes to most cancers.
D.It affects animals'normal activities in the daytime.
33.How does light pollution affect the climate?D
A.It reduces temperatures by days and makes nights warmer.
B.It creates more clouds over parts of the Earth.
C.It stops the release of greenhouse gases.
D.It causes global temperatures to go up.
34.How can we contribute our part in reducing light pollution?B
A.Forbid the use of outdoor lighting.
B.Don't use unnecessary lights at home and offices.
C.Reduce money spent on man-made light in urban areas.
D.Use clean energy to produce electricity.
35.It can be inferred from the last paragragh thatC.
A.Citizens should be forbidden to install outdoor lighting.
B.Only simple ways can help reduce light pollution.
C.Light pollution needs to be dealt with urgently.
D.There is no clear sky or stars over the urban areas.
6.Want a glance of the future of health care?Take a look at the way telemedicine is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patient-no matter where he or she may be.
Online doctors offering advice based on normal symptoms are the most obvious example.Increasingly,however,remote diagnosis(远程诊断) will be based on real physiological data(生理数据) from the actual patient.A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using personal data assistance plus a mobile phone,it is perfectly practical to send a patient's important signs over the telephone.With this kind of equipment,the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past.
Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural(countryside) care.And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster need-especially after earthquakes.On the whole,the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and experts'opinions.
But there is one problem.Bandwidth(宽带) is the limiting factor for sending complex medical pictures around the world-CT photos being one of the biggest bandwidth users.Communication satellites may be able to deal with the short-term needs during disasters such as earthquakes or wars.But medicine is looking towards both the second-generation Internet and third-generation mobile phones for the future of remote medical service.
Doctors have met to discuss computer-based tools for medical diagnosis,training and telemedicine.With the falling price of broadband communications,the new technologies should start a new time when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information,experts'opinions and diagnosis are common.
12.The writer chiefly talks aboutB.
A.the on-lined doctors       
 B.the use of telemedicine
C.medical care and treatment
D.communication improvement
13.The basis of remote diagnosis will beA.
A.real physiological information
B.some words of a patient
C.personal data assistance
D.medical pictures from the Internet
14.Which of the following statements is true according to the text?A
A.Broadband communications will become cheaper in the future.
B.It is impossible to send a patient's signs over the telephone.
C.Many teams use telemedicine dealing with disasters now.
D.Patients don't need doctors in hospitals any more.
15.The"problem"in the fourth paragraph refers to the fact thatB.
A.the second-generation of Internet has not become popular yet
B.bandwidth isn't big enough to send complex medical pictures
C.communication satellites can only deal with short-term needs
D.there is not enough equipment for spreading the medical care.
20.There are about 15,000-20,000 species of butterflies all over the world.They can be found on every continent except Antarctica.
To go to sleep,butterflies look for a safe place like the underside of a leaf or a branch,for example.Most butterflies sleep alone,but there are also species sleeping in groups.Poisonous butterflies have a particular smell that probably protects them better when they sleep together.It is also useful not to change the group'S sleeping place because a predator(食肉动物)who attacked a poisonous butterfly one time won't do this again.There is only a limited number of predators in an area so there is only a limited number to"educate"if the sleeping place stays the same.
One species from Costa Rica whose scientific name is Marpesia berania sleeps in groups on a leaf.If one butterfly of the group is disturbed,it opens its wings and touches its neighbors.Being touched,they open their wings as well and so the whole group is informed about the danger and Can escape together.
The speed of their flight depends on the way the butterfly flies:Blues and Whites normally have speeds under 8 km/h,the speed of Fritillaries is between 16 to 40 km/h and some Skippers reach speeds up to 60 km/h.
Besides warning and scaring predators with colors butterflies fly in a special way.The direction of their amazing flight is hard to predict.When they hear the sounds of a bat,the ones flying at night start a zigzag(之字形)flight in all directions:up and down,left and right.So it gets hard for the bat to catch them.
In the dark when colors don't function,some poisonous butterflies make clicking noises to warn bats that they are poisonous.Of course other species copy this sound to produce the protective effect,too.
56.The reason why butterflies don't change the group'S sleeping place is thatB
A.a predator would attack them again in the same place
B.few other predators would attack them in this fixed area
C.the predators would know they are poisonous
D.there are more predators in other places
57.The author takes Marpesia berania for example in order toC.
A.introduce where butterflies sleep at night
B.tell us how butterflies work together to defeat predators
C.introduce how butterflies sleeping in groups escape from danger
D.tell us that Marpesia berania is the most clever butterflies
58.What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?D
A.The different flight speeds of the butterfly.
B.Which butterfly flies at the highest speed.
C.Most butterflies fly at a low speed.
D.The different way the butterfly flies.
59.It'S hard for bats to catch butterflies because butterflies flyD.
A.much faster than bats   
B.aimlessly
C.at different speeds
D.in a zigzag way
60.Some poisonous butterflies warn predators in the dark byC.
A.scaring predators with colors
B.touching their neighbors with their wings
C.making clicking noises
D.copying bats'sound to confuse predators.
