At the beginning of this century, medical scientists made an interesting discovery; we are built not just of flesh and blood but also of time.

The        of “a body clock” should not be too        since the lives of most living things are controlled        the 24 hour night-and-day cycle. We feel        and fall asleep at night and become        and energetic during the day. If the 24 hour-cycle is        , most people experience unpleasant        . For example, people who are not        to working at night can find that        of sleep causes them to        badly at work.

       the daily cycle of sleeping and       , we also have other cycles which       longer than one day. Most of us would        that we feel good on some days and not so good on         ; sometimes our ideas seem to flow and at other times, they        do not exist.

【解析】试题分析:文章大意:本世纪初,科学家们就已经发现人体不仅有血肉组成,还有时间。因此,根据这个发现,他们能够证明在人体内存在生物钟。

1.B 形容词辨析。根据这个发现,他们能够证明在人体内存在生物钟。be anxious to do渴望做某事,此处没有强调科学家的心理活动,故排除。be able to do 能够干某事,所以答案选B。

2.A 词义辨析。根据常识及文中第一句we’re built not just of flesh and blood but also of time.可知生物钟是在我们的体内(inside)所以答案选A。

3.D 名词辨析。空格上所缺词应与and后面的fall 构成互补关系,即用rise与fall相对,表示起伏。A.运动;B供应; C.使用 D.升起,根据句意生物钟能控制我们体内能量的起伏,选择D。

4.C 动词辨析。结合前一句话中的controls可知,生物钟能使我们每天的表现不一样。show 证明,展示,指示;treat对待;change使改变。make+宾语+宾补 使……怎么样。如选change就意为使我们发生变化,与上下文意思不符。所以答案选C。

5.D 名词辨析。“生物钟”只是科学家经过研究而得出的一种结论或观点。所以选择D idea。opinion表示个人的看法。

6.C 形容词辨析。根据空格后面的原因状语从句“因为大部分生物的生命都受一天24小时循环的控制。”可知“生物钟”这种观点并不令人惊奇(surprising),所以答案选C。其他选项A 困难的 B兴奋的  D有趣的

7.B 介词辨析。前面用的是……are controlled 被动形式,只能与by连用。句意:大部分有生命的动物都受到日夜轮回这个时间循环的控制。

8.B 形容词辨析。结合常识可知,人工作一天,到晚上应是比较劳累tired。另外,后面的fall asleep 应是由劳累引起的。dreamy多梦的,不应出现在fall asleep之前。

9.C 形容词辨析。人休息了一晚上,第二天又充满了生机lovely、和活力energetic。

10.A动词辨析。如果时间循环被打乱disturbed,大部分人就会不舒服。A. 打搅 B缩短 C重新设置 D 惹麻烦,所以答案选择A。

11.B 名词辨析。结合下一句的例子可知,此处应为人感到不舒服或者说有不愉快的感觉unpleasant feelings。A时候,时刻 B感觉;感情 C感官,意识 D 效果,影响

12.D 考查动词辨析。be used to doing something习惯于……。不习惯于在晚上工作的人如果晚上工作,工作就会做不好。其它选项不与doing连用,而是用to do动词不定式。

13.C 词意辨析。lack此处为名词,在从句中做主语,lack of sleep缺乏睡眠。B none of 一点没有;D need of 需要,

14.A 名词辨析。缺乏睡眠导致第二天工作表现不好。A perform工作;表现 B 表演;显示 C经营;管理 D 掌握;控制

15.B 词意辨析。根据后面的also可得知对应的“和……一样”用as well as答案。

16.D 动词辨析。人类的日夜循环分为两段时间:即睡眠时sleeping的时间和醒着的时间waking。

17.C 动词辨析。根据后面的longer than one day 可知,此处last“持续”。A 重复 B仍然 D发生;碰巧

18.A 动词辨析。大部分人都有这种体验,都同意(agree)这种看法。

19.D 代词辨析。上文提到了some days与之相对应的是other days即others。

20.A 副词辨析。此处just用于否定句中表强调,它们根本就不存在。

考点:考查科普性说明文

It is the season for long lines and frayed (紧张的) nerves. Here’s how to deal.

Lighten up

Do youreslf a favor and ship(运送) your presents. Nearly every U.S. airline charges a fee to check a bag, so shipping gifts is now cheaper and more convenient than carrying them in your luggage.

Weigh your options

Now knowing what you’re going to pay for your luggage is annoying. So calculate your overweight-luggage fees at home. You can find the fees out in advance by visiting new site Luggage Limits, which provides the latest information on more than 90 airlines.

Leave amateurs(不熟练者) in the dust

Trust us and get to the airport an extra half-hour early. The check-in and security lines are filled with inexperienced fliers, and it’s a hard walking. Plus, if you decide to cut it close, you may not get onto the flight at all. To reduce costs, airlines have reduced on flights and routes. The remaining flights are more likely to be oversold, especially on busy travel days. Fliers who check in early are the least likely to get bumped from oversold flights.

Take it public

The rates for renting a car at the airport have more than doubled over the past year because rental lot inventories(地产) have increased dramatically. True, renting at the airport is convenient, but it’s just not worth it anymore. Unless you really need a car, take public transportation, hop a cab, or beg a friend to pick you up at the airport instead.

Say no to bumper cars

Tell the people picking you up to avoid parking their car. They can hang out in their car for free while waiting to get a call from you when you land. Many airports, including JFK and LAX, now feature this sensible choice.

68.Airlines have reduced flights to_________.

A. deal with crisis                         B. reduce the time for leave

C. lower the cost                          D. provide more job chances

69. We can learn from the passage that____      .

A. taking a taxi at the airport is expensive

B. taxis stay at the airport free of charge

C. cars can park at the airport for free

D. JFK encourages people to take a taxi

70. What’s the best title for the passage?

A. 5 Ways to Survey a Holiday Flight.             B. Good Seasons for Flight

C. Cars at the Airport                     D. How to Board a Flight

 

I will never forget what my old headmaster taught me. Normally when you are only 15          years of age you do not remember most of the things that are taught by your teachers. But this particular story is one such lesson that I will never forget. Every time I drift off course, I get reminded of this story.

It was a normal Monday morning, and he was making a speech to the students on important things in life and about devoting ourselves to what is important to us. This is how the story went:

An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the subway. He would get the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and beg. He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at the same street corner and begged for almost 20 years. His house was dirty, and a stench(恶臭)came out of the house and it smelled horrible. The neighbors could not stand the smell any more, so they asked the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of money all over the house that he had collected over the years.

The police counted the money, and they soon realized that the old man was a millionaire. They waited outside his house to tell the good news to him. When he arrived home that evening, he was met by one of the officers who told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a rich man now, a millionaire. He said nothing at all; he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up as usual, went to the subway, got into the train, and sat at the street corner and continued to beg. Obviously, this old man had no great plans, dreams or anything important for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than staying focused on the things we enjoy doing.

59. The headmaster told the story to the students to__________.

A. make the students relaxed in the lesson             B. remind the students to think deeply

C. show how poor the old man was                            D. encourage the students to become rich

60. After hearing what the officer said, the old man_________.

A. believed the officer was playing a joke on him. B. didn't know many people respected him a lot.

C. was very angry to find his house broken into.     D. was not so excited as the officer had expected.

61. What did the author learn from the story?

A . One should devote himself to his dream.            B. The old man was foolish not to stop begging.

C. What the headmaster taught was very important.

D. People must have a plan before taking action.

62. Which word can best describe the author's attitude towards the old man?

A. Pity.           B. Disappointment.                 C. Respect.          D. Anger.

63. We know from the passage that ___________________.

the author had a big dream at the age of 15.         

B. the headmaster was popular with the students.

the old man begged every day without stopping.  

D. the neighbors took great pity on the old man.

Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her    59  . She read these words…

“Paid in full with a glass of milk.”
