7.There are a lot of signs          men are more likely to have heart attacks than women.(  )
A.indicateB.to indicateC.indicatedD.indicating

分析 有很多迹象表明,男性要比女性更有可能患有心脏病.

解答 答案:D.
本题中已有谓语动词are,故indicate只能以非谓语动词形式出现,而A选项是谓语动词,故可以排除.分析句子结构可知,"___men are more likely to have heart attacks than women"在句中作后置定语,动词indicate与它的逻辑主语signs之间是主动关系,故用现在分词indicating,所以选D.

点评 本题考查现在分词作后置定语的用法.做这类题型时,首先判断此处是否该用非谓语动词(看句中是否已有谓语动词),然后找逻辑主语,看所填动词与它的逻辑主语之间的关系(过去分词表被动、完成;现在分词表主动、进行;不定式表将来),来决定答案.

8.Statistically,air travel is by far the safest way to travel,and you can make flying even safer,just by following these simple rules.Though your chances of being in an air accident are practically zero,many of these tips concern what you should and shouldn't do to make your journey safer when you are in the air.
Fly on non-stop routes
Most accidents occur during the take-off,climb,descent and landing periods of a flight,so flying non-stop can reduce these complex steps.
Choose larger aircrafts
Although small aircrafts have very good safety records,those with more than 30 passenger seats are designed to follow much stricter regulations and are tested more regularly to make sure they still work well.Also,in the unlikely event of a serious accident,larger aircrafts provide a better opportunity for passenger survival.
Pay attention to the pre-flight safety briefing
The information may seem to be heard repeatedly,but it's worth listening to the flight attendants.And even if you've flown before,it doesn't mean you know everything about the aircraft you're on,such as the location of the closest emergency exit.
Store things safely
Never put very heavy things in the overhead storage bins.They may fall out when someone opens the bin and cause injury.Also,the bin may not be able to hold heavier objects during turbulence(气流).
Keep your seat belt fastened while you are seated
Cabin crew always tell you this,but it's important.You would be seriously injured if the plane hits unexpected turbulence.Always fasten your seat belt if you are told to.The general rule of flying is this:If you are told to do something,do it first and ask questions later.
Let the flight attendant pour your hot drinks
Flight attendants are trained to handle hot drinks like coffee or tea in a crowded passage on a moving aircraft,so allow them to pour the drink and hand it to you.Never ask to take a coffee pot from one of them.

A.how to improve safety while flying.

29.Which of the following is the best one to replace the underlined word"those"in the second tip?C

B.passengers
C.larger aircrafts                 
D.safety records
30.Which of the following is NOT true?B
A.Larger planes have more safety checks and are safer in an accident.
B.Seat belts should be worn only during the take-off,climb,descent and landing periods of a flight.
C.Non-stop flights can reduce the complex steps of takeoff,climb,descent and landing.
D.It is dangerous for a passenger to pour hot drinks on a moving plane.

2.A chocolate printer that allows sweet lovers to create 3D desserts by themselves is to go on sale at a cost of 2,500 pounds.
The machine squirts (喷射) out chocolate and,via computer instructions,allows the user to build any shape they like out of the food.But makers Choc Edge have missed the Easter rush.Even so,they hope the printer will be snapped up by retailers (零售商) immediately they come to the market.Britain's biggest chocolatiers Thornton's have already said they are interested.Because of the high cost,however,few individuals are likely to buy one.But the device could one day allow people to design their own 3D objects after submitting their designs on a website.Dr Hao,founder of Choc Edge came up with a prototype (原型) last year and has only just perfected it so that it can now go on sale."We've improved and simplified the machine,so now it is really easy to use,"he told the BBC."You just need to melt some chocolate,fill a syringe (注射器) that is stored in the printer,and get creative printing of your chocolate."
3D printing is a technology where a three dimensional object is created by building up successive layers of material.The technology is already used in industry to produce plastic and metal products,but this is the first time the principles have been applied to chocolate.The research has presented many challenges.Chocolate is not an easy material to work with because it requires accurate heating and cooling cycles.Dr Hao said,"What makes this technology special is that users will be able to design and make their own products.From reproducing the shape of a child's favourite toy to a friend's face,the possibilities are endless.It could be developed to help consumers design many products from different materials,but we've started with chocolate as it is easily available,low cost and harmless.""There is also no wastage as any spoilage (损坏物) can be eaten."Dr Hao added,"Eventually we may see many mass-produced products replaced by unique designs created by the customer."
EPSRC chief executive Professor Dave Delpy said,"This is a good example of how creative research can be applied to create new manufacturing and retail ideas.By combining developments in engineering with the commercial potential of the digital economy We can see the new market prospect (前景)-creating new jobs and,in this case,the chocolate printer is called sweet business opportunities."
67.Which is the advantage of the chocolate printer?C
A.It is easily available,low cost and harmless.
B.It mainly produces children's favourite toys.
C.The user can build the shape they like via computer instructions.
D.The designs made by it are the same as many mass-produced products.
68.What can we conclude from the passage?B
A.The printer sold well during last Easter.
B.The technology of 3D printing promises a good future.
C.The printer was perfected and went on sale many years ago.
D.It's the first time that the technology has been used in industry.
69.Dave Delpy's attitude towards the chocolate printer isB.
A.doubtful              B.approval         C.negative         D.critical
70.We can conclude that this passage is aC.
A.science fiction       B.book review      C.news report         D.travel guide.
12.It was August 10,2011.Diana Nyad was dozens of miles into her dream to complete a 103-mile swim from Cuba to Key West.Because of the currents in the Florida Straits,Nyad would have to last 60hours-if everything went perfectly.
For two years,this dream of swimming from Cuba to Florida had been part of her every waking hour.She was about to turn 60."I wanted to be filled with commitment to the best of myself so that 1wasn't looking back later saying,'What have I done with my life?'''says Nyad.
Those extreme physical struggles are not new to her.In 1974,25-year-old Nyad became the first person to swim across Lake Ontario against the current.A year later,Nyad's 28-mile swim around the island of Manhattan made the front page of the New York Times.
"Physically,I'm stronger.I weigh a lot more,"Nyad said after a training swim in Key West in June."There are also mental advantages to being older,"says Steven Munatones,an expert in swimming.
Feeling a sharp pain in her right shoulder,she changed the angle of stroke (划),telling herself to go gently until her hand caught the water.In the 17th hour,she swam over to the boat,and the crew located a pain reliever.Nyad took it.She lay on her back,rolled onto her belly and continued swimming,and then she'd turn on her back again,gasping,unable to fill her lungs."I'm trying to make it.I'm barely going forward.I feel so sick.This has been my dream forever,but I can hardly make it another hour,"Nyad told David Marchant,the boat's navigator (领航员).Between the 23rd and 27th hours,Nyad had gone just five miles."OK,Diana,I'm going to touch you,and it's going to be over,"Stoll said.Nyad agreed.And with that,29hours and 43minutes after she'd leaped into the water,the swim came to an end.
"She just wouldn't quit.It was more amazing to see her not make it the way she fought than if everything had gone exactly right and she'd made it the whole way,"says Mark Sollinger,who piloted Nyad's lead boat.
At a press.conference in Key West after being pulled onto the support boat,Nyad choked back tears and said,"Sometimes the will is so strong.But I was shaking and freezing,and I thought,'There's no mind over matter anymore.'I think I'm going to have to go to my grave without swimming from Cuba to Florida."
But when Nyad returned home to Los Angeles,the pain began to fade."Something says to me the goal is still there,"says Nyad.
