For centuries, magicians have used various ways to shock the audience. We all have seen how a 36 performer carefully steps 37 a bed of burning coals -- barefoot. Then he walks across 38 a single burn on his feet. Is it mind over matter, or is it just physics? As it turns __39 , walking on burning coals isn’t that hot as 40 . “The coals are hot enough to 41__ you, but if you walk quickly across them you 42 being burned.” says Jonathan Hall, a physician at Penn State University in Eric Pennsylvania.
That’s because some coals are made 43 burning wood chips. Wood has two 44__ properties(特性)for fire-walking, explains Hall. First, wood is an insulator(绝缘体)--it doesn’t __45 heat very well. “It 46 _ time for heat to travel 47 the wood to your feet.” Hall says. If the performer walked across red-hot metal 48 , that would truly be 49 , because metal conducts, or transmits, heat very well. The metal would 50 burn a performer’s feet.
Second, wood has a low specific heat-- it doesn’t take much heat to 51 its temperature. Heat is a form of 52 . Temperature is a 53 of heat, in units of degrees. So 54 the coals are hot, the value(数值)of heat energy they contain is low. Thus, a well-trained performer can 55 such an amazing result.
Still, you don’t want to walk on burning coals, do you?

【解析】
试题分析:【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了魔法师的表演者为什么能走过火红的煤炭。原因有两个:一、煤炭是由小木块构成的,木头是热的不良导体;二、煤炭的能量不足够高,所以温度不会太高。快速走过不受伤害是可能的。
1.A考查形容词词义辨析及语境理解。此处daring勇敢的; dare敢; rough粗糙的;fearful害怕的。我们都看见过一位勇敢的(daring)表演者小心地光着脚在燃烧的煤炭上走。
2.C考查介词的用法。此处at在……点上;over跨越……之上;on在……上面; above在……上方。我们都看见过一位勇敢的表演者小心地光着脚在燃烧的煤炭上(on)走。
3.C考查介词的用法。此处with拥有;within在……之内;without没有; over在……之上。他走过燃烧的煤炭但他的脚上没有(without)一点烫伤。
4.A考查副词的用法。此处turn out意为:结果……。结果是,在燃烧的煤炭上行走没有它被想象的那么热。
5.B考查非谓语动词的用法。此处相当于walking on burning coals isn’t that hot as it is imagined. 结果是,在燃烧的煤炭上行走没有它被想象的那么热。故选B。
6.B考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。此处fire点火;burn燃烧;light点燃;flame火焰。煤炭热的足以把你烧死(burn)。
7.D考查动词词义辨析。此处prevent阻止; keep保持;ignore忽视; avoid避免。如果你足够快地走过,你就会不被烧着。
8.B考查介词及短语的用法。 此处be made of意为:由……组成。那是因为煤炭是有燃烧的木块构成。木头有两个理想的特征能使人在上面走过。
9.A考查形容词词义辨析。此处ideal理想的;classic经典的; favorite 最喜欢的;standard标准的。那是因为煤炭是有燃烧的木块构成。木头有两个理想的(ideal)特征能使人在上面走过。
10.A考查动词词义辨析。此处transmit传导;communicate交流; bring 带来; send送递。木头是绝缘体,它不能很好地传递热量。
11.B考查动词词义辨析。此处gathers聚集; takes花费时间; gains获得;stands忍受。木头需要时间把热量从木头传到你的脚上。
12.A考查介词的用法。此处through穿过; into进入;over跨越;pass通过。木头需要时间把热量从木头传到你的脚上。
13.B考查形容词词义辨析。此处unhappy不高兴的;unharmed不受伤害的; unhealthy不健康的; unprepared无准备的。如果表演者走过红热的金属而不受伤害(unharmed),那是真正的魔力。因为金属导热快,金属会很快地灼伤表演者的脚。
14.B考查形容词词义辨析。此处charming迷人的; magical有魔力的; tricky耍把戏的; fashionable时尚的。如果表演者走过红热的金属而不受伤害,那是真正的魔力(magical)。因为金属导热快,金属会很快地灼伤表演者的脚。
15.A考查副词词义辨析。此处instantly迅速地; constantly不断地; frequently频繁地;lately最近。如果表演者走过红热的金属而不受伤害,那是真正的魔力。因为金属导热快,金属会很快地(instantly)灼伤表演者的脚。
16.B考查动词词义辨析。此处produce产生; raise提升;提高; construct建设;create创造。木头拥有特殊的热量,他不需要很多热量提高(raise)温度。
17.C考查名词词义辨析及常识。此处power权利,电力;source资源; energy能量; strength力量。热量是能量的一种形式。温度是热量的衡量标准以度来计量。
18.A考查名词词义辨析及常识。此处measure量度;rank等级;estimate估计; rate比率。热量是能量的一种形式。温度是热量的衡量标准以度来计量。
19.D考查状语从句的连接词。此处what if要是;however然而;as if 好像; even though即使。所以即使煤炭是热的,但它含有的热量也是低的。所以受过良好训练的表演者能实现令人惊讶的结果。
20.A考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。此处achieve实现;arrive到达;draw画;take拿,花费。所以即使煤炭是热的,但它含有的热量也是低的。所以受过良好训练的表演者能实现(achieve)令人惊讶的结果。

It was 4 o’clock in the morning, when I received the phone call.
“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 1 in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We’ve called for a (n) 2 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.”
Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was 3 .
The doctor described the accident, which caused the burns. At 6 am, our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers. When they 4 the charcoal (木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed (喷洒) too much gasoline (petrol). The flames 5 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to his head.
6 , one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped my son, and rolled him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in 7 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars (伤疤). So, he had to return to college with scars.
When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very 8 scar on her arm. “Ann, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It doesn’t mean they won’t 9 it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”
I 10 this wisdom (智慧) on to my son. He took my advice to 11 and returned to school with his head held high — glad he was alive.
By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not matter, so he made the 12 to give up any plastic surgery (外科手术).
We all have “scars” that 13 people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.
But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same 14 standards(标准). Put your imperfections out of your 15 and concentrate (集中) on what you value within yourself, and your beauty will shine through.
