8.Kevin,badly injured in the accident,finally learn to live with his disability.

分析 Kevin在事故中严重受伤,他终于学会接受自己的残疾.

解答 答案是injured.本题考查语境中选用恰当的词或短语;injure  vt.(在意外事故中)受伤;题干句中已经有了谓语动词learn,所以injure充当非限制性定语,injure和Kevin之间是被动关系,故用过去分词做定语,答案是injured.

点评 首字母填空必须在对语境整体理解的基础上抓住指向答案的关键线索、固定句型或搭配等,并联系首字母,同时注意所选词的形式变化.

18.My father was attached to gardening by birth.One of my earliest memories is following:Dad barefoot around in the garden with both hands blackened from digging in the soil.The garden was a wonderland full of possibilities.
As Dad grew older,he still loved gardening.Even when he was diagnosed with cancer,he still planted all sorts of plants.Sometimes,I would come over to visit,and we would walk together in the garden.But then,something changed.Like the weeds that took over his garden,the cancer grew rapidly in Dad,and the doctor gave up.I stayed with Dad twenty-four hours a day and I found myself in all kinds of uncomfortable situations with Dad until I promised to care for the garden.
Though I had heard the words of the doctor,what really made me believe that Dad was dying was the state of his garden.That year,he only planted tomatoes.Too tired to weed them,he simply tied them with strong strings to the fence and let them be.It made me sad to see them ignored,so I would come over and water them once in a while,and remove the weeds.I still remember the day when I picked the last tomato from the vine(藤).That day was one of the saddest I had ever experienced in my life.
Three years ago,I decided to plant my own garden.I decided I would start out with just a few tomatoes.That morning when I moved to the garden,something caught the corner of my eye and I had to smile.It was my eight-year-old son Nathan,standing barefoot in the soil,happily playing in soil.

16.Rent control,like all other government-mandated(强制执行的)PRICE CONTROL,is a law placing a maximum price,or a"rent ceiling,"on what landlords may charge tenants(房客).It is a program designed to stop rents from rising rapidly and is used mainly in large urban areas where there are more people than housing.In cities with rent control,the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment.Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in the apartments.Their rent cannot increase;therefore,they are not in danger of losing their homes.However,almost all the critics conclude that rent control is destructive.They say after a long time,rent control may have negative effects.
In a 1990 survey of 464 people published in.the May 1992 issue of the American Economic Review,93% of US respondents agreed that a ceiling on rents reduces the quantity and quality of apartments available.Landlords are too cautious (perhaps too smart) to put their faith in rental apartments because they know that the rental-controlled apartments cannot increase their profits.Therefore,they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits.They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rent-controlled.As a result,new apartments are not built.Many people who need apartments cannot find any.
Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way.The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers.The minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled,low-paying jobs.However,if the minimum is high,employers may hire fewer workers.They will replace workers with machinery.The price,which is the wage that employers must pay,increases.Therefore,other things being equal,the number of workers that employers want decreases.Thus,critics claim,an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment.Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage.
Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity,Because of the law,workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum.Furthermore,employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages.But the supporters make a big error.They fail to realize that it is possible for such a law to increase wages beyond the value of what the workers contributes.
Economic theories predict the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production,rent control,and the minimum wage.The predictions may be correct only if"other things are equal".Economists do not agree on some of the predictions.They also do not agree on the value of different decisions.Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it.Economists do agree,however,that there are no simple answers to economic questions.

61.According to the passage,rent control willD.
A.encourage landlords to invest in apartments
B.improve the quality of apartments
C.protect the tenants'interests

A.many people won't find jobs if the minimum wage is set
B.some economists do not agree with the economic theories
C.economic theories are not always correct
D.the results of economic decisions cannot always be predicted

A.the relationship between supply and demand
B.the possible results of government controls

D.the urgency of getting rid of rent control
64.The author's attitude towards the rent control and the minimum wage isC.
A.supportive         B.objective          C.critical                D.indifferent.

Swedish   Archaeologists Make New Discoveries
Archaeologists have begun exploring an unknown ancient city at a village called Vlochos,five hours north of Athens.The Archaeological (31)Hare scattered on and around the Strongiloveni hill on the great Thessaliam plains and can be traced to several historical periods.
"What used to be considered remains of some (32)Isettlement can now be upgraded to remains of a city higher significance than (33)Cthought,"says Robin Ronnland,PhD student in Classical Archaeology and Ancient History at the university of Gotheoburg and leader of the firework.
"We came across the site which has never been explored before in connection with another project last year and retailed the great (34)Jright away."
Working together with the Swedish Institute at Athens and the local archaeological service in Karditsa,the Vlochos Archacological Project (VLAP) was started with an aim to explore the remains.The project's research team completed the first field season during two weeks in September 2016.
Ronnlund says that the hill is hiding many (35)E.Remains of towers,walls and city gates can be found on the mountaintop and slopes,but (36)Ganything is visible on the ground below.The ambition is to avoid digging and instead use (37)Asuch as ground-penetrating radar.This will enable the team to leave the site in the same (38)Bas it was in when they arrived.The success of this method is (39)Dfrom the results of the first field season.
"We found a town square and a street network that indicate that we are dealing with quite a large city.The area inside the city wall measured over 40hectares.We also found ancient pottery and coins that can help to(40)Fthe city.Our oldest finds are from around 500BC,but the city seems to have flourished mainly from the fourth to the third century BC before it was abandoned for some reason,maybe in connection with the Roman conquest of the area.
Ronnlund believes that the Swedish-Greek project can provide important clues as to what happened during this violent period in Greek history.
