“I do not think...”否定前移，“that I say”作anything的定语。

句意：我认为我说的话是最不值得公共关注的。

语篇解读：数学天才Perelman博士因没有被选进俄罗斯数学研究所和母亲隐居在圣彼得堡，虽然他由于解决数学界世纪难题而震撼了数学界，却放弃了一百万美元的奖励金，Perelman坚持说自己不值得媒体和公众的关注。

6．Grigory Perelman lives with his mother because ________.

A．he has to look after her

B．his mother has a million dollars

C．he has been out of work for a long time

解析：细节理解题。第一段介绍Grigory Perelman生活状况及原因，他和母亲住在圣彼得堡一所简陋的房里和母亲一起靠她一个月30英镑的退休金过日子，因为他已多年没有工作。由此看出C项正确。

答案：C　

7. The phrase“absolutely ungifted and untalented person”shows that Dr Perelman felt ________.

A．angry　　　　　B．discouraged

C．proud 　　　　　　　　　　D．confident

解析：细节理解题。第三段解释Perelman生活艰苦的原因：由于圣彼得堡的数学研究所没有选中他，据他朋友说，他就感觉自己是一个绝对没有天赋不聪明的人。从那时起他便不再有自信、与世隔绝，由此看出Perelman感觉没有信心，失望。

答案：B　

8．Grigory Perelman refused to accept the prize because ________.

答案：B　

10．What's the best title for the passage?

A．Great Mathematician Leads Simple Life

B．Maths Genius Abandons a Milliondollar Prize

C．Mathematics Institute Offers Grigory D＄1 Million

D．One of the World's Seven “Millennium Problems” Solved

解析：　主旨大意题。文章主要报道数学天才Perelman解决了一道数学世纪难题，却放弃一百万美元的奖励金的事例，所以文章以B项为标题比较合适。

答案：B

(2011·日照模拟)A maths talent who won fame this week for giving up a milliondollar prize is living with his mother in a simple flat in St Petersburg，coexisting on her ￡ 30amonth pension，because he has been unemployed for many years.

The Sunday Telegraph tracked down the strange recluse(隐士) who shocked the maths world when he solved a centuryold puzzle known as the Poincaré Conjecture.

Grigory Perelman's trouble comes from a split with a leading Russian mathematical institute，the Steklov，in 2003.When the Institute in St Petersburg failed to reelect him as a member，Dr Perelman was left feeling an “absolutely ungifted and untalented person”，said a friend.He became unconfident and cut himself off.

Other friends say he cannot afford to travel to the International Mathematical Union's congress in Madrid，where many people want him to receive the maths equivalent(等价物) of the Nobel Prize，and that he is too modest to ask anyone to pay for his trip.

Interviewed in St Petersburg，Dr Perelman insisted that he was unworthy of all the attention，and was uninterested in the prize.“I do not think anything that I say can be of the slightest public interest，” he said. “I am not saying that because I value my privacy，or that I am doing anything I want to hide.There are no topsecret projects going on here.I just believe the public has no interest in me.”

He continued: “I know that selfpromotion happens a lot and if people want to do that，good luck to them，but I do not regard it as a positive thing.I realized this a long time ago and nobody is going to change my mind. Newspapers should be more discerning(有洞察力的) over who they write about.They should have more taste.As far as I am concerned，I can't offer anything for their readers.”

Dr Perelman has some small savings from his time as a lecturer，but is apparently unwilling to increase them with the D＄1 million offered by the Clay Mathematics Institute in Cambridge，Massachusetts，for solving one of the world's seven “Millennium Problems”．

4．About the injury of the boy we know that ________.

A．he was losing much blood when he was dragged out

B．he was very nervous when he was sent to hospital

C．he may be in danger of losing his leg

解析：细节理解题。从第四段第二句可知，男孩被救上岸时正在大量流血。

答案：A　

3．What do we know about the city of Sydney from the passage?

A．It is one of the largest cities in Australia.

B．Sydney harbor is not far from the famous Opera House.

C．There are many locals and tourists on its coast all the year round.

D．There are few shark species in the waters off Sydney's beaches.

解析：细节理解题。从第七段中的“in Sydney harbor，not far from the famous Opera House”可知答案。

答案：B　

2．The underlined word “savaged” in the first paragraph probably means “________”．

A．attracted　　　　B．dragged

C．bit　　　　　　　　　　　D．packed

解析：　词义猜测题。从第二段第一句中的“when he was attacked”，第四段的“the boy was bleeding heavily”和第五段的“the bites ‘cut through to the bone'”可知savaged的意思是“攻击，咬”。

答案：C

There is a ban on commercial fishing in the harbor，which has increased fish stocks.

which引导非限制性定语从句。

句意：这儿的海湾有一条关于商业捕鱼的禁令，这使鱼的数量上升了。

语篇解读：本文是一则新闻，一个男孩在悉尼的一个海湾冲浪时遭到鲨鱼攻击，这已是本月第三次鲨鱼袭击人的事件了。此地禁渔令的实施以及环境的改善使得鱼的数量上升，鲨鱼在捕食过程中也越来越多地随着它的“食物”靠近海岸。
