【题目】Driving to the airport in the early morning, I felt 1 (excite) because I would spend the summer in Paris. While 2 (look) for more interesting things to do besides sleeping and eating on the plane, I jumped at the chance to study French in this city know for 3 (it) art, food and culture.

My connecting flight(转机) was in Frankfurt, Germany, 14 hours from Denver. But when I arrived there, a feeling of anxiety 4 (begin) to set in. I was very nervous 5 I was in a country 6 language I could not speak. But when I found my way, I gained 7 (confident). When I boarded the second plane and discovered that the flight was less than an hour, I was filled 8 excitement.

When I stepped on foreign ground for the first time, I was 9 (extreme) happy. I quickly had my first experience trying to communicate in 10 language that I had only practised in school. As I left the airport, with one sharp turn, the Eiffel Tower came into view. I was fully in Paris.

【答案】

1excited

2looking

3its

4began

5because

6whose

7confidence

8with

9extremely

10a

【解析】本文为一篇记叙文。作者描述自己第一次的出国经历和心情感受。

1考查系表结构。分析句子可知,本句中的excite作系动词felt 的表语,此处应用形容词,修饰人,要用excited。故填excited。句意:我清晨开车去机场感到很兴奋。

2考查非谓语动词。分析句子While ___2___ (look) for more interesting things to do … I jumped at the chance to study French可知,本句是一个省略句。从句中的主语(I)省略了从句的动词look与逻辑主语I,两者是主动关系,故用looking。

3考查代词。句意:在这个以它的(its)艺术、食物和文化而闻名的城市学习法语。这里做定语,用形容词性物主代词,故填its。

4考查时态。此文是对过去动作的描述,要用过去时来描述,故用began。

5考查连词。句意:但是当我到达那里时我很紧张,因为我不会说这个国家的语言。分析可知,前后句之间是因果关系,故用because。

6考查定语从句。分析句子I was in a country ___6___language I could not speak.可知,country后面是定语从句,country是先行词,在从句中作language的定语,意为“这个国家的语言”,人的/物的,要用whose。

7考查词性转换。句意:但当我找到方法时,我有了信心。分析句子I gained ___7___ (confident).可知,本句中的confident作动词gained的宾语,此处需要名词,故用confidence。

8考查介词。此处的be filled with….为固定搭配,意为“充满…”。句意:我心里充满了兴奋。

9考查词性转换。句意:当我第一次踏上异国之地时,我非常高兴。分析句子I was ___9___ (extreme) happy可知,空格处在此修饰形容词happy,副词修饰形容词,故用extremely。

10考查冠词。句意:我很快就有了第一次尝试用我只在学校里练习过的语言进行交流的经历。此处表示泛指一种语言,故用a。

【题目】阅读理解
Have you ever found yourself in his situation: You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child-a bit of nostalgia(怀旧) or “blast from the past,” as we say. But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago.
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.
Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of “listen-and-repeat” learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply speak the words. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words.
All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered.
Why Hungarian, you ask? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them.
Dr. Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3, or memorable 4, tune 5.
Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburgh's website Dr. Ludke writes, “This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.”
(1)The “song” mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to__________.
A.recall the past
B.attract the readers
C.introduce the topic
D.compare the childhood with the present
(2)According to the passage which language doesn't share the same root with Germanic or Romance languages?
A.Hungarian
B.Spanish
C.Italian
D.English
(3)Based on the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that __________
A.singing is the best way to learn a language.
B.the brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the words.
C.a listen-repeat method is very effective for any language learner.
D.Dr. Katie Overy and Dr. Ludke disagree with each other.
(4)In which situation can the finding of the research be applied?
A.A mother is going to teach her baby how to speak.
B.A child is going to have his first music lesson.
C.A student is going to learn a new English song.
D.An American is going to learn some Chinese.

【题目】Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems. While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves. University of Missouri(MU) researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.

“To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density (密度)”,said Jae Kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU. “The radioisotope (放射性同位素) battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries.”

Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, presently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro/nanoelectromechanical systems (MNEMS). Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said they are safe.

“People hear the word ‘nuclear’ and think of something very dangerous,” he said, “However, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems.”

His new idea is not only in the battery’s size, but also in its semiconductor(半导体). Kwon’s battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.

“The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure(晶体结构) of the solid semiconductor,” Kwon said, “By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem.”

Together with J. David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery, In the future, they hope to increase the battery’s power, shrink its size and try with various other materials. Kwon said that battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.

1Which of the following is TRUE of Jae Kwon?

A. He developed a chemical battery.

B. He teaches chemistry at MU.

C. He made a breakthrough in computer engineering.

D. He is working on a nuclear energy source.

2Liquid semiconductor is used to ________.

A. reduce the damage to lattice structure

B. test the power of nuclear batteries

C. decrease the size of nuclear batteries

D. get rid of the radioactive waste

3According to Jae Kwon, his nuclear battery ________.

A. uses a solid semiconductor

B. will soon replace the present ones

C. could be extremely thin

D. has passed the final test

4The text is most probably a ________.

A. book review

B. science news report

C. newspaper ad

D. science fiction story
