7.Sculptor Builds Dubai's Soaring Burj Khalifa Skyscraper out of Toothpicks to Bag World Record
A sculptor has scaled new heights by building the world's tallest toothpick (牙签) model.
Stanley Hayes Munro,45,from Syracuse,New York,is a toothpick engineer,who (34)has been hooked (hook) by toothpick models since he built his first sculpture in school when creating a structure that (35)could support the weight of an egg.
Now,he has won the world record for the tallest toothpick structure with a sculpture of the Burj Kahlifa,Dubai.For Stanley though,he has always been more concerned with the integrity(完整性) of his work.Stanley said:"I've never cared for counting toothpicks,wasting toothpicks,or the number of toothpicks (36)used (use) in any construction.But an engineering problem you've got to create a strong structure is a problem worth (37)solving(solve).""I made my first toothpick structure in an art class when I was in Grade 5,"he continued."The assignment was to build something 25centimeters tall and to have it (38)hold (hold) the weight of an egg.Mine held my desk and from that point I became interested in it."
"Everybody likes to ask whether my sculptures will collapse when I build them,but they are much (39)stronger (strong) than people think,"he said."It was not really the height but the shape of the outer walls (40)that was the biggest challenge with Burj Khalifa.There wasn't a flat surface anywhere and I had to individually construct each level,"he said.

分析 本文讲述了45岁的牙签雕塑工程师Stanley Hayes Munro成功搭建了迪拜高耸的哈利法塔摩天大楼的牙签雕塑,创下了最高牙签模型的世界纪录,登上了事业新高.Stanley的第一个牙签作品是在学校完成的,此后他就迷上了雕塑.对Stanley来说,他注重的是作品的结构完整性,他的牙签雕塑要远比人们想象的牢固的多.

解答 34.has been hooked;考查动词的时态和语态,根据后文中的since可知要用现在完成时,又因主语who与动词
hook是被动关系,故用现在完成时的被动语态.
 35.could;考查情态动词,结合上下文分析句意为"创造了一个能够支撑一个鸡蛋的结构"可知,这里需要表示一种能力,又因讲述的是发生了的事情,所以用过去时态could.  
36.used;考查分词作定语,toothpicks 与动词use是被动关系,所以用过去分词作定语.
37.solving;考查动名词,worth  doing是固定用法,意为"值得做某事".
38.hold;考查动词不定式,have在这个句子中是使役动词,意为"使,让",后跟省to不定式,故用动词原形
hold,have sb do sth意为"使人做某事".
39.stronger;考查形容词的比较级,much修饰形容词时,后面要跟形容词的比较级形式,空格后又有than,故
  此处要用比较级形式.
40.that;考查强调句型,分析整个句子可知这是一个强调句.所以用that构成It is/was…that的强调句型.

点评 首先要通读全文,了解大意,抓住上下文语境所提供的信息,仔细分析带空格的句子,明确空格所要填的词义,词型和短语搭配给出所要填的正确形式,然后整体阅读短文,核对答案.

12.How do you spend your time?To get it,Paul T.Rankin asked sixty-eight individuals to keep an accurate,detailed record of what they did every minute of their waking hours.He discovered that 70percent of their waking time was spent on one thing only-communication.Put that evidence alongside the research findings uncovered by the Human Engineering Laboratories,they discovered that,vocabulary,more than any other factor yet known,predicts financial success.New words make us better thinkers as well as communicators.What better reason for beginning right now to extend your vocabulary?But how?
Hybrid (杂交产生的) corn combines the best qualities of several varieties to ensure maximum productivity.A hybrid approach to vocabulary should,in the same way,ensure maximum results.That's why you should use the CPD formula.
Through Context.When students in a college class were asked what should be done when they came across an unknown word in their reading,84percent said,"Look it up in the dictionary."If you do,however,you short-circuit the very mental processes needed to make your efforts most productive.
But there's another reason.Suppose someone asks you what the word"fast"means.You answer,"speedy or swift".But does it mean that in such context as"fast color"or"fast friend"?And if a horse is fast,is it securely tied or galloping at top speed?It could be either.It all depends.On the dictionary?No,on the context.After all,there are over twenty different meanings for"fast"in the dictionary.But the dictionary doesn't tell you which meaning is intended.That's why it makes such good sense to begin with context.
Through Word Parts.Now for the next step.Often unfamiliar words contain one or more parts,which,if recognized,provide definite help with meaning.Take the word"monolithic"for example.Try  to separate the parts.There is the prefix mono-,meaning"one",and the root-lith,meaning"stone".Finally,there's the suffix-ic,meaning"consisting of".Those three parts add up to this definition:"consisting of one stone".
To speed up your use of word parts,you will be introduced to the fourteen most important words in the English language.The prefix and root elements in those few words are found in over 14,000words.With those amazingly useful shortcuts,you can build up vocabulary,not at a snail's pace,one word at a time,but in giant leaps,up to a thousand words at a time.
Through the Dictionary.Now you can see why you should consult the dictionary last,not first.You've looked carefully at the context.You've looked for familiar word parts.Now you play Sherlock Homes.In light of context or word parts,you try to solve a mystery.What exactly does that strange word mean?Only after you go through the mental gymnastics to come up with a tentative (不确定的) definition should you open the dictionary to see if you're right.
You are now personally involved.Your increased interest will lead to a better memory of both word and meaning.It also encourages your development of the habits needed to accelerate your progress.And when you see in black and white the definition you had expected,what a feeling of accomplishment is yours.In that way,the CPD Formula provides the exact approaches for maximum effectiveness.
Well,there it is,your new formula-Context,Parts,Dictionary.Use it!The results will be like the money in the bank.

10.阅读下面短文,按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求,在空格处填人一个适当的词或使用括号中词语正确形式填空,并将答案填写在答卷标号为16-25的相应位置上.

A boy quarreled with his parents and ran away from home.He had a hard life(16)without    any contact with his family for years.Later he wanted to go home(17)but he was afraid that his parents might not welcome him.
Finally he decided to send a letter to his father(18)expressing(express) his desire to return home and begging his pardon.In his letter he asked his father to tie a white ribbon on(19)the tree near his house by the side of the railway lines if he was ready to welcome him back home.(20)If he did not see the ribbon on the tree,he would think that his family did not welcome him and then he would leave them forever.
He boarded the train and waited very(21)nervously(nervous) as the train was about to pass by his home.To his surprise,the tree(22)was decorated(decorate) with hundreds of white ribbons(23)which/that danced in the wind.His family did not want him to miss the sight of the ribbon and the welcome signal,so(24)they covered the whole tree with ribbons to show their whole-hearted(25)happiness(happy) and willingness to welcome him back.
