【10】the

【解析】

试题分析:本文属于说明文,世界上有很多百万富翁,其中有很多都是年纪很轻的,文章介绍了其中几个较为著名的,如Jackie Coogan、Shirley Temple以及Albert von Thurnund。

【1】 reported 考查分词做定语用法。本句中222 people与动词report构成被动关系,所以使用过去分词短语在句中做定语修饰222 people。

【2】richest 考查最高级用法。上文中提及了222 people,指这些人中最富有的人是Bill Gates。所以要使用最高级的形式richest。

【3】at 考查介词短语。介词短语at least至少,Bill Gates的个人财富至少达到410亿美元。

【4】by 考查介词用法。介词by通常表示“方法,手段”。Bill Gates通过创办微软公司挣得了这笔财富。

【5】when 考查状语从句连词。本句中when引导时间状语从句。句意:当1976年他开始帮助建立这个公司的时候,他只有21岁。

【6】However 考查上下文串联。句意:在Gates31岁的时候,他已经是一个百万富翁了,然而,还有一些其他人在更年轻的时候就挣了很多钱。上下文之间是转折关系,所以使用however表示转折。

【7】younger 考查比较级。虽然Bill Gates在31岁的时候就挣了很多钱,但仍然有人在比他更年轻的时候就挣了很多钱。所以使用比较级的形式younger。

【8】Both 考查代词。根据前句中Jackie Coogan和Shirley Temple共两个人,所以本句中both指代两者。

【9】acting 考查副词用法。本句中动词act与本句主语both of these child actors构成主动关系,所以使用现在分词短语在句中作状语。

【10】the 考查定冠词用法。在形容词最高级前面使用定冠词the表示特指。最年轻的百万富翁是Albert von Thurnun。

【题目】Do you often lose things? Don’t worry. Now a new tool that can be connected to any object you might lose may be the way to solve your problem. The Tile, a small square linked up to your iphone or ipad by means of Bluetooth, lets you see how close you are to your missing item, within a 50-to-150-foot range. If the item goes out of your phone’s 150-foot range, it can still be found on other smart phones with the same app.

When you drive the app on your phone, it shows you, with green bars that increase or decrease, how close or far away you are from the Tile. You can also program it to make a sound when you get close to the Tile. And you can link up your phone with up to ten Tiles. And if your lost object—a dog, for example, or a stolen bike-go out of your own phone’s 150-foot Bluetooth range, you can set it as a “lost item”. If any of the phones with the Tile app comes within range of your lost item, a message will be sent to your phone, telling you its position. The Tile app also has the function to remember where it last saw your Tile, so that you can easily find where you left it.

Since the Tiles use Bluetooth rather than GPS, they are never out of battery or needn’t to be charged, and they work for one year before needing to be replaced. And the app works with all generations of iPhones and iPads.

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

Ransom Myers of Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia warned, using solid science and careful analysis, of the dangers of overfishing. He didn’t mince words and he wasn’t afraid to report bad news. As the Guelph Mercury reported, the 54-year-old biologist, originally from Mississippi, was known for his research and warnings about the extinction of marine life around the world.

He developed a passion for marine protection during his days in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada, where he worked for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans at a time when the industry was watching the collapse (崩溃) of the cod (鳕鱼) fishery. He became, says the Guelph Mercury, a lone, unpopular voice in the discussion about the cause of the collapse, insisting overfishing was the main factor. The world was spending its energy fighting over the few fish left instead of cutting catch limits before it was too late.
He warned governments, the fishing industry and consumers, that unless commercial fishing was reduced, many large marine species would become extinct, leading to economic disruptions, food shortages, and lasting damage to marine ecosystems. He said his conclusions were shocking because people had lost sight of the true effect of the declines and they did not look back far enough in history. In other words, he said, “We’ve forgotten how big fish used to be and how many of them once lived in the sea.”

【3】Which of the following is NOT true about Ransom Myers?

A. He became interested in marine protection when the cod fishery was in danger of collapse.

B. He wrote a book about the history of marine protection.

C. He suggested that commercial fishing should be reduced.

D. Many people turned a deaf ear to his warnings about the dangers of overfishing.

【4】According to Ransom Myers, the reason why people found his conclusions shocking was that _____.

A. they didn’t have a good knowledge of the living habits of fish

B. they could still catch a great many big cod

C. they didn’t know the great differences between the present and the past marine fishery

D. they thought his research was not based on a detailed analysis
