【解析】本文主要讲述了科学家做的两个实验一个以猕猴为对象一个以人类为对象本文考察词性变换固定短语搭配以及定语从句引导词。

1考察被动语态。句意:它们被给予一根链条。全文时态为一般过去时,所以填were given。

2考察冠词句意它们被教导如果拉动链条它们将会被投喂食物。Chain在前文已经出现,此处特指“这个链条”,所以用定冠词the。

3考察固定短语搭配拒绝做某事:refuse to do sth. 句意:87%的猕猴拒绝拉动链条。故填to pull。

4考察非谓语动词句意一只猕猴整整挨了两个星期的饿也不愿面对伤害另一只猕猴的罪恶感介词of后面应该接名词或动名词,所以将hurt改为动名词形式hurting。

5考察单复数根据语境“另外一组科学家”可知应该填science的名词形式scientist,表示“科学家”。一组科学家不可能是单数,所以还要将scientist变为复数形式scientists。

6考察定语从句。句意:他们给拉动杠杆的人钱,杠杆会电击另外一个人。先行词为a lever,所以用thatwhich引导定语从句。故填that/which。

7考察词性变化。句意:杠杆用电触击另外一个人。所以将形容词electric变为名词electricity,表示“电,电流”。故填electricity。

8考察介词句意:另外一个人是演员,每次别人拉动杠杆,他就假装处于极大的痛苦中。固定短语in pain:处于痛苦中。类似的短语还有in danger:处于危险中。故填in。

9考察非谓语动词。spacemark之间为被动关系,故用mark的过去分词形式做后置定语,表示:标记着“危险!重击!”的地方。故填marked。

10考察词性变化句意那只是为了得到几美元,那几美元他们在麦当劳工作就可以轻松赚到根据语境可知将形容词easy改为副词easily,修饰动词earn,表示“轻轻松松挣到”。故填easily。

【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。 I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car and landing on my head. Now I am twenty-two. I can vaguely(模糊地) remember the brightness of sunshine and what red color is. It would be wonderful to see again, but a calamity can do strange things to people.
It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn't been blind. I believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply, otherwise. I don't mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left.
Life, I believe, asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments, the more meaningful his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never easy, but I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me — a potential to live — which I didn't see, and they made me want to fight it out with blindness.
The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was basic. If I hadn't been able to do that, I would have collapsed(倒塌) and become a chair rocker on the front porch(门廊) for the rest of my life. When I say belief in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self-confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that: an assurance that I am, despite imperfections, a real, positive person; that somewhere in the sweeping, complicated pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit.
It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance. It had to start with the most elementary things. I had to learn my limitations. It was no good to try for something I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure. I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.
(1)From the first two paragraphs, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.The writer lost his sight in an accident when he was a little kid.
B.The writer appreciated what he had owned very much.
C.The writer thought he would love his life more if he hadn't been blind.

D.The writer thought it would be wonderful to see again
(2)The underlined word “calamity” in the first paragraph probably means __________.
A.misfortune
B.failure
C.reality
D.belief
(3)In the third paragraph, the writer said he was lucky because__________.
A.he had a potential to live
B.he made good adjustment
C.his parents and teachers helped him a lot
D.he could fight to live with his blindness
(4)In the writer's opinion, the most difficult thing for him was __________.
A.to start with elementary things
B.to have faith in himself
C.to fight with blindness
D.to make adjustments to reality
(5)What does the writer mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A.He failed sometimes but he still made progress.
B.It is very common for us to fail with our limitations.
C.We should try for something out of reach.
D.We should never give up and gradually make progress.
