In 1791the French nation,in the midst of a revolution,wished to break with the past,especially with those(41)A of it which they considered illogical and useless.One of those was the(42)F  system of weights and measures in use.Not only was the system clearly complicated,but it also varied widely from place to place.So the French spent a large amount of time and efforts regulating a new system.
In(43)C  the new system,the French began by setting up a unit of distance equal to one forty millionth part of the earth's circumference (周长).But(44)D  later measurements showed that the unit designed was not exactly that part,but they(45)G  to use it.(Today the unit is defined simply as the distance between two marks on a metal bar kept in suburb of Paris).The unit is the meter and the system of measurements(46)I  on this unit is the metric (米制的) system,the system today used by scientists all over the world.
The metric system is built in(47)J  of ten,Greek prefixes showing multiples and Latin prefixes showing fractions.The Greeks had no word for a number larger than ten thousand and the Romans had none for a number larger than one thousand,but the system was(48)B  by using less specific words; for(49)E  mega meter (one million meters) comes from a Greek word that means simply"large".

分析 本文主要介绍了法国进行的传统的重量和测量系统的改变.

解答 41.A  考查名词,根据句意"特别是随着它的那些方面,他们认为这不合逻辑而且无用"those后面跟名词的复数,所以答案选A.
42.F 考查上下文理解,根据下文So the French spent a large amount of time and efforts regulating a new system.法国花费了大量的时间和努力调整了一套新的体系,可见这里的the system 相对于新的就是传统的了,traditional"传统的",所以答案选F.
43.C 考查非谓语,根据句意"在构建新的体系的过程中"in是介词后跟动名词,construct是动词"构建",所以答案选C.
44.D 考查副词,根据句意"但是不幸的是后来的检测表明设计的单位不完全是那部分"unfortunately"不幸的是",所以答案选D.
45.G 根据句意"但是不幸的是后来的检测表明设计的单位不完全是那部分,但是他们继续使用它",continue to do"继续做某事",所以答案选G.
46.I 考查非谓语,根据句意"这种测量系统是以米为单位",base是动词"以…为基础",与被修饰词measurements之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词做定语修饰名词.
47.J 考查名词,根据句意"这种米制的体系是以十位单位"unit"单位"所以答案选J.
48.B 考查被动语态,"这种体系通过使用不太具体的词而被推广",extant"推广,延伸",是被动句,所以答案选B.
49.E 考查固定搭配,for instance 是英语中的固定搭配"例如,举例",所以答案选E.

点评 选词填空主要是完形填空题和所给词的形式填空,做这类题,有些是固定搭配,有的是固定句式,还有的是联系上下文猜测代词所指的内容和生 词的含义,你必须知道每个词的意思,从句意和语法两方面 思考界定.还有一些是易混淆的近义词组,务必弄清楚各个词组的含义.

10.I have only once been in trouble with the law.The whole process of being arrested and taken to court was a rather unpleasant experience at the time,but it makes a good story now. What makes it rather disturbing was the arbitrary (随意的) circumstances both of my arrest and my subsequent (随后的) fate in court.
It happened in February about twelve years ago.I had left school a couple of months before that and was not due to go to university until the following October.I was still living at home at the time.
One morning I was in Richmond,a suburb of London near where I lived.I was looking for a temporary job so that I could save up some money to go traveling.As it was a fine day and I was in no hurry,I was taking my time,looking in shop windows,strolling in the park,and sometimes just stopping and looking around me.It must have been this obvious ainilessness that led to my downfall.
It was about half past eleven when it happened.I was just walking out of the local library,having unsuccessfully sought employment there,when I saw a man walking across the road with the obvious intention of talking to me.I thought he was going to ask me the time.Instead,he said he was a police officer and he was arresting me.At first I thought it was some kind of joke.
But then another policeman appeared,this time in uniform,and I was left in no doubt.
'But what for?"I asked.
‘Wandering with intent to commit an arrestable offence,'he said.
‘What offence?'I asked.
'Theft,'he said.
'Theft of what?'I asked.
'Milk bottles,'he said,and with a perfectly straight face too!
'Oh,'I said.
It turned out there had been a lot of petty thefts in the area,particularly that of stealing milk bottles from doorsteps.
Then I made my big mistake.At the time I was nineteen,had long untidy hair,and regarded myself as pan of the sixties''youth counterculture'.As a result,I wanted to appear cool and unconcerned with the incident,so I said,'How long have you been following me?in the most casual and conversational tone I could manage.I thus appeared to them to be quite familiar with this sort of situation,and it confirmed them in their belief that I was a thoroughly disreputable (品行不端的) character.
    A few minutes later a police car arrived.
'Get in the back,'they said.'Put your hands on the back of the front seat and don't move them.'
    They got in on either side of me.It wasn't funny any more.
    At the police station they questioned me for several hours.I continued to try to look worldly and familiar with the situation.When they asked me what I had been doing,I told them I'd been looking for a job.'Aha,'I could see them thinking,'unemployed'.
Eventually,I was officially charged and told to report to Richmond Magistrates'Court the following Monday.Then they let me go.
I wanted to conduct my own defense in court,but as soon as my father found out what had happened,he hired a very good solicitor (律师).We went along that Monday armed with all kinds of witnesses,including my English teacher from school as a character witness.But he was never called on to give evidence.My'trial'didn't get that far.The magistrate (法官) dismissed the case after fifteen minutes.1 was free.The poor police had never stood a chance.The solicitor even succeeded in getting costs awarded against the police.
And so I do not have a criminal record.But what was most shocking at the time was the things my release from the charge so clearly depended on.I had the'right'accent,respectable middle-class parents in court,reliable witnesses,and I could obviously afford a very good solicitor.Given the obscure nature of the charge.I feel sure that if I had come from a different background,and had really been unemployed,there is every chance that I would have been found guilty.While asking for costs to be awarded,my solicitor's case quite obviously revolved (回转) around the fact that I had a'brilliant academic record'.
Meanwhile,just outside the courtroom,one of the policemen who had arrested me was gloomily complaining to my mother that another youngster had been turned against the police.'You could have been a bit more helpful when we arrested you,'he said to me reproachfully (责备地).
What did he mean?Probably that I should have looked outraged (暴怒)and said something like,'Look here,do you know who you're talking to?I am a highly successful student with a brilliant academic record.How dare you arrest me!'Then they,probably,would have apologized perhaps even taken off their caps,and let me on my way.
