13.No bird and no beast      in the lonely island.(  )
A.are seenB.is seenC.seeD.sees

分析 在这座孤岛上,看不到一只鸟和野兽.

解答 答案:B
这个考察的是主谓一致:由and连接的两个或三个单数主语前如果有every,each,no,many a修饰时,谓语动词要用单数形式.再接合句意可知,bird和beast与see之间是被动关系,故使用被动语态,即答案为B.

1.We know the famous ones-the Thomas Edisons and the Alexander Graham Bells-but what about the less famous inventors?What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper  (雨刮器)?Shouldn't we know who they are?
Joan Mclean thinks so.In fact,Mclean,a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range,feels so strongly about this matter that she's developed a course on the topic.In addition to learning"who"invented"what",however,Mclean also likes her students to learn the answers to the"why"and"how"questions.According to Mclean,"When students learn the answers to these questions,they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try."
Her students agree.One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLean's statement."If I had not heard the story of the windshield wiper's invention,"said Tommy Lee,a senior physics major."I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rain storm into something so meaningful."Lee is currently negotiating(商谈) to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.
So,just what is the story behind the windshield wiper?Well,Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902after a visit to New York City.The day was cold and stormy,but Anderson still wanted to see the sights,so she jumped aboard a streetcar.Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield,she found herself wondering why there couldn't be a built-in device for cleaning the window.Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham,Alabama,Anderson started working out solutions.One of her ideas,a lever (操作杆) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside,became the first windshield wiper.
Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations(创新).It's hard to imagine driving without Garrett A.Morgan's traffic light.It's equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J.Blodgett's innovation that makes glass invisible.

32.By mentioning"traffic light"and"windshield wiper",the author indicates that countless inventions areA.
A.beneficial,though their inventors are less famous
B.beneficial,because their inventors are famous
C.not useful,because their inventors are less famous
D.not useful,though their inventors are famous

A.add color and variety to students'campus life
B.prepare students to try their own invention
C.carry out the requirements by Mountain University
D.inform students of the windshield wiper's invention
34.Tommy Lee's invention of the unbreakable umbrella wasD.
A.not eventually accepted by the umbrella producer
B.not related to Professor Joan McLean's lectures
C.due to his dream of being caught in a rainstorm
D.inspired by the story behind the windshield wiper
35.Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?D
A.How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers?
B.How to Design a Built-in Device for Cleaning the Window?
C.Shouldn't We Develop Invention Courses in Universities?
D.Shouldn't We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper?

3.Is it necessary to learn when we are 50s,60s or even 70s?Most people consider when they get retired,they are supposed to be completely laidback,do something fun,or hang around.(36)GIt's particularly important to the elderly.
Through learning,we know how to think,how to memorize,how to ask questions and even how to interact with others.According to a study,while we are learning,"the brain creates neural(神经)pathways"that make us smarter.(37)F The more we learn,the mote new neural pathways develop in our brains.
When it comes to learning,it doesn't mean we must load ourselves with lots of knowledge.What we need to do is just learn something we like day in and day out.(38)BEveryone learns from bottom to up.If we have an interest to learn,that desire will naturally push us to move forward.
As we feel worn out from learning,don't be discouraged.(39)EAn old saying goes,"Birds of a feather fly together."As long as we have partners to learn all together,our learning excitement will come alive again.On the contrary,if we don't learn,and choose to distance ourselves from other,we might be getting dumb,and slow; eventually,we lose energy,and life passion.Instead of being bored,dumb,why don't we keep learning?
(40)DMore importantly,learning explores our life horizon,helps us build up our confidence; gradually,it leads us to a way of finding a sense of value and achievement in the process of learning journey.

A.It's never too old to learn.
B.Don't worry if we cannot learn well.
C.You should set a high learning target.
D.Learning makes us understand how potential we are.
E.Look for a partner who has the same common interest as you do.
F.In other words,our brains are active as we learn something new.
G.However,the truth is that learning makes us energetic,and self-fulfilled.
4."A room without books is like a body without a soul,"observed the Roman philosopher,Cicero.It can also be a sign of financial problems to come.New research has uncovered a strong connection between the earning of adults and whether they grew up surrounded by books as children
Three economists at the University of Padua-Giorgio Brunello,Guglielmo Weber and Christoph Weiss-studied 6000 men born in nine European countries and concluded that children with access to books could expect to earn more money than those who grew up with few or no books.
They studied the period from 1920 to 1956,when school reforms saw the minimum school leaving age raised across Europe.They booked at whether,at the age of 10,a child lived in a house with fewer than 10books,a shelf of books,a bookcase with up to 100 books,two bookcases,or more than two bookcases.
Over the period studied,the research,published in The Economic Journal,found that an additional year of education increased a man's average lifetime earnings by 9%.Men brought up in houses with less than a shelf of books earned only 5% more as a result of the extra year's education,compared with 21% more for those who had access to a lot of books.Ands those who had access to books were more likely to move to the better-earning opportunities in cities than those without books.The men's first job was also much more likely to be a white-collar job
The economists offer a number of theories for the results."perhaps books matter because they encourage children to read more and reading can have positive effects on school performance,"they said.
The number of books in children's homes can effectively predict their cognitive(认知的)test scores.This may indicate a home that encourages cognitive skills,which are important for economic success in life.

25.Why did author mention Cicero's words in the first paragraph?B
A.To make an argument      B.To introduce the topic
C.To express his own views   D.To arouse readers'interest
26.What can we learn about the people studied by the researchers?C
A.They were tracked by researchers since age 10.
B.They all left school because of school reforms
C.They came form several different countries
D.They are now white-collar professionals
27.How does the author show the results of the research?A
A.By listing numbers
B.By providing examples
C.By following the order of time
D.By following the order of importance.
28.What is the main conclusion to the research?D
A.Homes without books are vulnerable(脆弱)to financial problems
B.Families that can afford books raise successful children
C.Boy who love reading books earn more than girls
D.Children who live with books earn more as adults.
