9．In some parts of London，missing a bus means _______ for another hour．（　　）
A．waitingB．being waitedC．to waitD．to be waiting

分析 在伦敦的某些地方，错过公共汽车就意味着再等一个小时．

解答 答案是A．本题考查动名词做宾语．动词mean 后既可以接动词不定式也可以接动名词，表达的含义有差别：mean to do打算做…；mean doing意味着；本题中mean是"意味着"，所以后面必须接动名词，排除C和D；B项是动名词的被动结构，本句中不含被动的意思，所以B不符合句意，由此判断本题答案选择A，mean waiting foe another hour意味着再等一小时．

点评 对于非谓语动词的选择，首先要根据句子的结构判断句中缺少的是谓语动词还是非谓语动词；如果是非谓语动词，在理解非谓语动词的基本用法的基础上再根据句子的结构做出判断．

14．I'm a TV show host．One Sunday，I took my 7-year-old daughter by the sea for lunch．On arriving at the beach，I saw JoJo，a wealthy man in the hotel business．We sat down to chat in an open air cafe while I watched my daughter enjoy herself on the swings in front of us．Our conversation varied from business to entertainment to the economy．
Suddenly our conversation was interrupted by a stranger，who politely asked permission to speak to me．Often people want to tell me something about my controversial TV show，when I'm out on the streets．
He asked to speak to me privately，so we stood a bit away from my table．He said，"I'm James，35years old，father of a 7-year-old girl，who's very sick．She needs treatment abroad．The doctors said that if she was treated in the UK，she would probably survive．But I'm poor，so can you please help me？"
Speechless，I stared in the man's eyes full of tears and asked how I could help．After we talked for a while，I went to sit back at the table．JoJo asked me，"What's wrong with you？Your
face changed．"I told him and he was very sorry for this family and said I had the means through the media to help him．Later we headed off to our destinations（目的地）．
All weekend I thought about James，his daughter and his family．I even considered doing a special TV show to raise money for this sick child．
On Monday morning I was at the office after I finished presenting my show，when my secretary said a man needed to speak to me．It was JoJo．He walked into my office．Actually JoJo is so busy with his hotel business that I never imagined he had time to come and see me at the studios．
"Please，call the man with the sick child and tell him that I'll pay all expenses for his sick daughter's treatment．"JoJo said，with a check in his hand．"I've been married for 35years．I wasn't lucky enough to have a child．I want to help this child now．"I picked up the phone to call James．
Now James'daughter is well and living a normal life，so James and his wife are the happiest couple on earth．JoJo often visits her．I'm so happy that there are so many good people on this earth．

1．The Virgin Oceanic Submarine （潜水艇）is an entirely new type of vessel that can dive to 37，000feet and fly through the ocean using wings．similar to an airplane's wings．It will be able to dive 7miles straight down to the deepest place on the planet，the bottom of the Mariana Trench （海沟）where only one other vessel has ever gone before．Unlike the last Mariana Trench dive，the Virgin Oceanic Submarine will be able to fly around and explore while it is there．
This amazing new submarine is what Richard Branson invented for his fellow adventurer and dear friend，Steve Fossett，who had dreamed of piloting it himself，but when he was flying over the Nevada desert he failed to return．Branson has now Finished what Fossett wished，and he hopes that the successful Virgin Oceanic Submarine will open the door to new exploration and scientific discovery．
This undersea adventure is very much like Branson's space adventure．Branson's company，Virgin Galactic，travels into space using a space plane．The space adventure rose from the success of the vehicle Space Ship One which has completed its task and Branson's boyhood dream of exploring space：Virgin Galactic is now testing the first Space Ship Two model，with a plan for tourism in space when all testing is finished．
16．The Virgin Oceanic Submarine （潜水艇）is an entirely new type of vessel that can dive to 37，000feet and fly through the ocean using wings．similar to an airplane's wings．It will be able to dive 7miles straight down to the deepest place on the planet，the bottom of the Mariana Trench （海沟）where only one other vessel has ever gone before．Unlike the last Mariana Trench dive，the Virgin Oceanic Submarine will be able to fly around and explore while it is there．
This amazing new submarine is what Richard Branson invented for his fellow adventurer and dear friend，Steve Fossett，who had dreamed of piloting it himself，but when he was flying over the Nevada desert he failed to return．Branson has now Finished what Fossett wished，and he hopes that the successful Virgin Oceanic Submarine will open the door to new exploration and scientific discovery．
This undersea adventure is very much like Branson's space adventure．Branson's company，Virgin Galactic，travels into space using a space plane．The space adventure rose from the success of the vehicle Space Ship One which has completed its task and Branson's boyhood dream of exploring space：Virgin Galactic is now testing the first Space Ship Two model，with a plan for tourism in space when all testing is finished．
Just as Branson uses new technology to explore our planet and beyond it，he also uses it to save our planet．He created a challenge witha 25 million prize for technology which would remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere．Naturally，this challenge is called the Virgin Earth Challenge，This idea came from seeing the X-Prize succeed in stimulating （刺激）the invention that finally created Space Ship One．No new technology has yet hit the marketplace as a result of this challenge．
Branson's genius for seeing something great and making it happen first became apparent when he started selling"cut-out"records．He was soon able to create his own recording studio with the．profits．From there，Branson proceeded to discover and promote new musical artists．His instinct for finding innovative （创新的）artists is the same instinct he now applies to finding innovative technology．
While the new Virgin Oceanic Submarine has not yet proved itself，there is little doubt that it will．
