6.When tea and coffee were first introduced to Europe in the 18th century,people had different ideas about (61)their (they) use.Some said that tea and coffee were(62)harmful (harm) to humans and they could cause people to die.
In Sweden,King GustafⅢdecided to find out  (63)whether this was true or not.It happened that there were two brothers  (64)in prison at that time.
They were twins and were almost alike in every way.They had both been sentenced to(65)death (die).The King decided to let them live if one of the men agreed(66)to drink (drink) several cups of tea each day and the other several cups of coffee.
Both brothers (67)lived (live) many years without problems of any kind.At last,the brother(68)who/that had drunk tea every day died at the age of 83,and the other died a few years  later.
Because of (69)theexperiment,tea and coffee got accepted and became (70)increasingly (increase) popular as drink in Sweden,and it is one of the many countries of the world where much tea and coffee is drunk today.

分析 本文讲述了18世纪时,当茶叶和咖啡被引进到欧洲时,人们对它们的使用有不同的看法.有些人认为茶叶和咖啡对人们有害,它们能致人死亡.在瑞典,国王通过实验证明了它们对人没有害处,从而被人们所接受并流行起来.

解答 61.their  考查形容词性物主代词.根据空后的单词use是名词,可知此处应用形容词性物主代词,故填their.
62.harmful  考查形容词.根据空前是系动词were,可知此处应用harm的形容词形式,beharmful to意为"对…有害",故填harmful.
63.whether 考查连词.根据句意和后面的or not可知,此处应用whether构成whether…ornot结构,故填whether.
64.in 考查介词. 根据下面提到的兄弟俩都被判了死刑,可知此处他们在坐牢,in prison意为"坐牢,蹲监狱",故填in.
65.death 考查名词.短语be sentenced to中to是介词,所以应用动词die的名词形式death.
66.to drink  考查固定短语.agree to do sth.是固定短语,意为"同意做某事",故填todrink. 
67.lived  考查一般过去时态.因为叙述的是过去发生的一件事,所以应用一般过去时态,故填lived. 
68.who/that 考查定语从句的关系代词.因为haddrunk 的主语是先行词the brother,所以是定语从句,在定语从句中指人做主语的关系代词是who/that.
69.the  考查定冠词.此处特指这次试验,故用定冠词the表特指.
70.increasingly考查副词.根据空后的popular是形容词,且副词修饰形容词,所以应用increase的副词形式increasingly.

点评 语法填空是通过语篇在语境中考查语法知识的运用能力,在解题前应快速浏览短文掌握大意,在读懂短文的基础上,结合短文提供的特定的语言环境去逐句分析,逐题解答.扎实的语法功底加上准确的理解是解答语法填空题的关键.

7.Look at the keyboard of any standard typewriter or computer."Q","W","E","R","T"and"Y"are the first six letters.Who decided on this arrangement of the letters?And why?
People tried for centuries to invent the typewriter.In 1714in England,Henry Mill filed a patent for a machine called An Artificial Machine or Method for the Impressing or Transcribing of Letters,Singly or Progressively one after another,as in Writing.With this machine,whatever writing can be shown on paper or parchment,so neat and exact as not to be distinguished from print.That machine probably didn't sell because no one could remember its name!
The first practical typewriter was patented in the United States in 1868by Christopher Latham Sholes.His machine was known as the type-writer.It had a movable carriage,a lever for turning paper from line to line,and a keyboard on which the letters were arranged in alphabetical order.
But Sholes had a problem.On his first model,his"ABC"key arrangement caused the keys to jam when the typist worked quickly.Sholes didn't know how to keep the keys from sticking,so his solution was to keep the typist from typing too fast.Sholes asked his brother-in-law to rearrange the keyboard so that the commonest letters were not so close together and the type bars would come from opposite directions.Thus they would not clash together and jam the machine.The new arrangement was the QWERTY arrangement typists use today.Of course,Sholes claimed that the new arrangement was scientific and would add speed and efficiency.The only efficiency it added was to slow the typist down,since almost any word in the English language required the typist's fingers to cover more distance on the keyboard.
The advantages of the typewriter outweighed the disadvantages of the keyboard.Typists memorized the crazy letter arrangement,and the typewriter became a huge success.By the time typists had memorized the new arrangement of letters and built their speed,typewriter technology had improved,and the keys didn't stick as badly as they had at first.

C.the name of the machine was too long

43.Sholes decided the QWERTY arrangement of the keyboard in order toB.

5.Modern humans have a hard time controlling their desire to eat.Often you eat not because you are hungry,but because you are affected by many other things.How much you eat is strongly affected by how much those around you eat.People eating alone eat least.People eating with one other person eat 35 percent more than they do at home.People dining in a party of four eat 75percent more.Eating with overweight friends?You'll eat more.Is your waitress overweight?
You'll eat more.Wide variety of food?You'll eat more.
    Plates can decide how sweet dessert tastes.If people ate it off a paper plate,they'd say,"This is good."If they ate it off a fancy silver plate,they would say,"This is the greatest cake I've eaten in my entire life."
    Your knowledge about what makes food good or bad also affects how much you eat.You tend to eat more when you think the food is good,and less when you think it is bad.So Grandma's cookies always taste better than other cookies."Good food"even has a"health halo(光环) effect".If we're eating something healthy,we feel that everything in that meal is healthy.Due to this,people often believe that a cheese cake with a salad has fewer calories (卡路里) than the cheese cake alone.That's perhaps also why eating organic (有机的) food might turn you into an annoying guy.Your brain may use anything that makes you feel good about your own morality to excuse your immoral behaviour.
    Food and hunger affect your judgment too.Hungry judges give more serious sentences.Kids who don't eat breakfast behave worse than kids who eat their breakfast.People who have low blood sugar are more likely than the average person to have trouble concentrating and controlling their unpleasant emotions.
28.What is mentioned as a cause of overeating?D
