【解析】文章大意:本文主要讲述了一位女士对大约20年前第一次接触自然科学课程的经历。在那堂课上,教授告诉学生不要相信自己的感官。这深深地刺痛了当年只有17岁的她,因为她认为自己正开始了解世界,感官是她唯一依赖的工具,而教授却把它拿走了。这使她很害怕,当天下午就放弃了这门课程,至今也没再走近科学。

1.选C。考查上下文连串。本段上文出现了名词education,以及根据下文,可知这位女士记起的是一堂自然科学课程。

2.选D。考查动词词组。此处指教授走进演讲大厅。search for“寻找”;look at“ 看”;get through“完成,打通电话”;march into“(大步)走进”。

3.选B。考查动词。根据下一句中的After 39 shouts of wildly wrong guesses可知此处指教授让学生猜有多少豆子。故选B。

4.选D。考查动词。根据句子结构可以看出第39个空中的动作应是教授发出的。句意:听了学生的瞎猜之后,教授露出一个干瘪的笑。由此可知选D。

5.选C。考查形容词。根据前面的wildly wrong guesses可知此处指教授给出正确的答案。correct正确的。

6.选A。考查动词。learn an important lesson表示“学到很重要的一堂课”。 该动作是学生对课程做出的,那么自然是在学习课程。

7.选B。考查动词。根据这个故事可知,教授让学生不要相信自己的感官。所以故用动词trust相信。

8.选D。考查名词。此处的the woman就是指第一段中的a woman。根据下文也可推断出,因为她提到20年前自己是一个17岁的女生。

9.选C。考查动词。句意:他可能把自己看作是在邀请学生去探索未知世界。describe…as…“把……描述为”;respect…as…“把……尊为”;see…as…“把……看作”;serve as“充当”。

10.选A。考查名词。学生对未知世界开启的是一次航程,而非“运动”、“改变”亦或者“匆忙冲进”。此处应指“邀请学生开始令人激动的对未知世界的探索之旅”。voyage航行。

11.选B。考查名词。an unknown world invisible to the eye指眼睛看不到的未知的世界。对于什么而言是无形的,形状自然是眼睛看到的。

12.选D。考查名词。肉眼无法识别的无形未知世界的绝不是“感觉”或者“精神”。此处指能通过科学的方法去发现眼睛看不到的未知的世界(而不是通过感官)。

13.选A。考查动词。even是一个强烈的递进关系词。句意:但是这个17岁的女生不愿意接受邀请或者甚至听到这样的邀请。

14.选B。考查动词。此处指她自己正开始了解世界。我们知道,女孩十七岁,正是刚开始认识世界的年纪。

15.选A。考查动词。与之相关的是后句的内容:“她的第一感觉会是正确的”,对这件事情她没有“证明”或者“解释”,自然可排除C、D,无关选项。(因为她自己正开始了解世界)所以她相信直接得到的经验就是真实的。

16.选D。考查名词。女孩认为第一感觉是正确的。选D。growth成长 strength力量faith信念。根据第50个空的解析可知,此处表示“事实真相”。

17.选C。考查形容词。根据上一段可知,教授认为不要相信感官,因为感官带来的答案是错误的。所以此处选C。

18.选B。考查名词。为了知道未知世界,我手中唯一的是工具,于是选择B。其他选项不合理。她认为教授把她依赖的唯一的工具即感官拿走了。故选B。

19.选C。考查形容词。and提示文章此处是并列关系,而与感觉渺小并列的是感觉害怕,cruel的含义是“残忍的”,语义自然不合适,排除。根据女士的描述可知,她当时认为自己很渺小,很害怕。

20.选A。考查动词,被教授伤害后,我对这个科目能做的动作显然不是“开始学习”或者“通过”,于是排除B、C;而missed的含义是“失去”,无关选项;drop在此表示“丢弃,中断,停止”。

考点:考查记叙文阅读

After sunset on our last day at the farm I walked out into the desert. In this, the first pleasant moment for a walk after long hot hours, I thought I was the only thing out of doors. Suddenly I stopped. Before me a rattlesnake lay fixed, its head not yet drawn back to strike but only turned a little to watch what I would do. Many snakes will run away at the sight of a man but this rattlesnake felt no necessity to get out of any-body's way. He held his ground in calm watch-fullness waiting for me to show my intentions. My first aim was to take no notice of him; I had never killed an animal if I was not forced to kill. But I remembered that there were children, dogs and horses at the farm as well as men and women with thin clothes on; my duty was to kill the snake. I went back to the farm and returned with a stick. The rattlesnake had not moved; he lay like a wire but more quickly than I could stride he shot into a bush and set up his rattling, warning me by this that I had made an unreasonable attack and attempted to take his life and that if I insisted he would have no choice but to take mine if he could. For a moment I listened to this terrifying sound and then I struck into the bush with my stick and, chop-ping about, dragged him out of the bush with his back broken.

He struck once more at the stick but a moment later his neck was broken and he was soon dead althoughwww..com when I picked him up by the tail his mouth opened, proving that a dead snake may still bite. There was blood in his mouth and poison was dropping; it was not only a dis-gusting(令人作呕的) sight but a pitiful one too. I dropped the body into a green bush and, as I did so, I saw him in my imagination, crawling over the sands as he might have done if I had let him go.

Is veg food healthier than non-veg food? I feel this is a very common topic that people speak on.Please give me your opinions on this topic.
Rao

So far as veg food is concerned, it is also proved to be a healthy and nutritious diet, but has very few items which can provide us with proteins, but if you see non-veg food like eggs, chicken, and many more, such foods have a large content of proteins in them.
Sai

Man basically is herbivorous(食草的). If we look at the animal kingdom
We can see that all the herbivorous animals have the similar dental(牙齿的)
structure, which clearly shows that the human being also ought to be vegetarian
by birth. It is only the living conditions that make man carnivorous(食肉的).
The vegetarian foods are easily digestible.
Santos

Non-veg food items are better than veg items. A healthy person requires complete diet and veg+ meat makes the diet complete. The only caution that needs to be taken is not to have non-veg items on a daily basis. Once in a week or couple of weeks will be best.
Krishna

When we eat non-veg, we are all veg by nature. The chicken that we eat feeds on grains, the mutton that we eat feeds on grass, and the fish that we eat feeds on simple plants. So non-veg food by logic(逻辑)is better and suited for hauman beings.
Khan

Non-veg food is equally important in our diet as it helps in many ways, especially fish and other seafood as fish contains omega 3 which makes our immune system(免疫系统)stronger. Do you know that most of the veg food put together does not contain as much omega 3 as fish alone contains!
68.According to Rao, what is the problem with veg food?
A.It damages our immune system.
B.It has few nutrients.
C.It contains too much omega 3.
D.It is lacking in protein.
69.In the opinion of Sai, humans are born vegetarian because humans______.
A.have the same teeth structure as plant-eating animals
B.believe that veg foods are good for their teeth
C.belong to the plant-eating animal family
D.can adapt to the living conditions like plant-eating animals
70.What advice is given by Santos?
A.To have a saily veg+ meat diet.
B.Not to eat non-veg food every day.
C.To eat digestible food every day.
D.Not to eat food without protein.
