第一章緒論 1,科技論文的概念:簡單地說,科技論文是對創(chuàng)造性的科研成果進行理論分析和總結(jié)的科技寫作文體。比較翔實的定義是：科 技論文是報道自然科學(xué)研究和技術(shù)開發(fā)創(chuàng)新工作成果的論說文章，它是通過運用概念、判斷、推理、證明或反駁等邏輯思維 手段，來分析表達自然科學(xué)理論和技術(shù)開發(fā)研究成果的。2,科技論文的特點和寫作要求:科技論文是創(chuàng)新性科學(xué)技術(shù)研究工作成果的科學(xué)論述，是某些理論性、實驗性或觀測性新知識 的科學(xué)記錄，是某些已知原理應(yīng)用于實際中取得新進展、新成果的科學(xué)總結(jié)。科技論文同一般的科技文章有共同之處，具有 準確、鮮明、生動的特點，但作為科技論文，它又有自身的特殊屬性。3,一篇科技論文必須同時具有下述特點，并同時滿足下述寫作要求:1)、科學(xué)性：真實性，準確性，可重復(fù)性，邏輯性 2)、創(chuàng)新性或獨創(chuàng)性3)、理論性或?qū)嵱眯?)、條理性和規(guī)范性 4,《科學(xué)》遵循的是學(xué)術(shù)期刊的發(fā)表慣例，先讓三名同行審稿才發(fā)表。同行審稿時主要是看論文本身提供的證據(jù)是否充足，成果是否重大，并不會輕易懷疑論文的作者造假。除非假造得很拙劣，否則也不太可能在審稿時被發(fā)現(xiàn)有假 5,現(xiàn)在的通行做法是先發(fā)表論文再說。是否能被獨立地重復(fù)出來，永遠是一個科學(xué)成果能否成立的必要條件。6,科技論文就其發(fā)揮的作用來看可分為三類：
一、學(xué)術(shù)性論文；
二、技術(shù)性論文；
三、學(xué)位論文。7,學(xué)位論文是指學(xué)位申請者提交的論文。這類論文依學(xué)位的高低又分為以下3 種：學(xué)士論文、碩士論文和博士論文。8,按研究的方式和論述的內(nèi)容可對科技論文分六類。
1、實(試)驗研究報告；
2、理論推導(dǎo)；
3、理論分析；
4、設(shè)計計算；
5、專題論述；
6、綜合論述。9,撰寫科技論文的要素：興趣愛好，主動與被動的關(guān)系；經(jīng)驗積累，切記急功近利；理論功底，學(xué)習(xí)、學(xué)習(xí)、再學(xué)習(xí)；寫作 技巧，臨摹、請教、發(fā)揮 10,科技論文作者應(yīng)有的基本素養(yǎng)：1 文獻資料的查閱技能,2 信息積累,3 通曉科技論文寫作的理論和格式,4 有一定的語法和 文字修辭上的素養(yǎng),5 了解期刊編輯知識,6 善于對讀者對象分析研究 11,科技論文作者專業(yè)知識包括
1、具有相應(yīng)專業(yè)的一般知識
2、具備所寫科技論文內(nèi)容的專業(yè)知識
3、熟悉相關(guān)的專門知識 12,科技論文作者應(yīng)有的科學(xué)素養(yǎng)： 科學(xué)素養(yǎng)包括科學(xué)基本知識積累，研究過程和科學(xué)技術(shù)對社會的影響； 科學(xué)素質(zhì)包括1 知 識的系統(tǒng)性2 基礎(chǔ)知識的寬厚性和廣播性3 專業(yè)知識的精深性和先進性4 動態(tài)性和自動調(diào)節(jié)性5 硬科學(xué)和軟科學(xué)的結(jié)合性； 科技技能包括1 資料調(diào)遣技能2 組織技能3 協(xié)調(diào)決策4 交流表達5

第一部分：
1D 2D 3A 4B 5B 6B 7C 8A 9A 10C 11A 12D 13B 14C 15 C
第二部分：
A
文章第一段說隨著經(jīng)濟、社會和技術(shù)的發(fā)展，廚房不僅要美觀，而且要實用，另外還得滿足現(xiàn)代家庭的需要。
C
第二段說環(huán)境因素對廚房設(shè)計有重要影響，但并沒有說對環(huán)境無害是廚房設(shè)計中第一位的因素。
A
第四段說在選擇櫥柜時請首先考慮風(fēng)格，但是因為購買櫥柜是一筆不小的投資，所以最好還是選擇質(zhì)量。
B
第五段說由于許多現(xiàn)代家庭是兩個人或更多的人一起下廚，因此需要更大的操作臺，更多的灶頭和洗滌槽，而不是因為烹調(diào)的過程變復(fù)雜了。
A
第五段最后一句話說洗滌槽是廚房內(nèi)使用最多的區(qū)域之一，也是一個重要的“裝飾聲明”。這里作者運用了比喻的手法，把在洗滌槽的設(shè)計中體現(xiàn)出來的設(shè)計者的聰明才智比作一個聲明。
C
倒數(shù)第二段說家電技術(shù)的發(fā)展日新月異，選擇什么樣的電器和購買多少數(shù)量的電器應(yīng)根據(jù)您下廚時間的多少和廚房的大小而決定，但沒有提到因為家用電器可以節(jié)省體力就應(yīng)該及時更換最新的型號。
B
文章最后一段建議同一種電器可以購買一臺以上，這主要由您廚房的大小和收入的多少來決定，而不是下廚時間的多少。

B
該段的前兩句講到新加坡島地勢情況，接下來敘述的是該國的氣候情況。
C
這一段是在敘述國家的體制，即State System。
A
該段的內(nèi)容很明顯，是在講新加坡的教育情況。
E
該段的第一句話說的是：新加坡在眾多亞洲國家中享有較高的生活水平，下面的每句話都圍繞這一主題展開論述，“新加坡人民生活水平高”說明經(jīng)濟發(fā)達。
B
文中第一段講到新加坡由一個大島和五十個小島組成，原文用的是consist of和madeup of同義，但用法不同。
D
第三段講到現(xiàn)在新加坡的總統(tǒng)不是由議會選舉的。而是由老百姓直接選舉的。在選項中用的是select(挑選)這個詞。
A
最后一段的第一句話說新加坡的生活水平在亞洲最高。
E
最后一段中講到Singapore now produces a diversity of goods，即produces various kinds of goods之意。
第四部分：
D

B
由調(diào)查來看，雞是：A主食;B很受歡迎的食物;C比其他食物便宜;D以上全部。
C
從前三段可知，雖然現(xiàn)在每個人仍然都能編輯維基百科中的詞條，但其中的一些頁面在得到一個“經(jīng)驗豐富”的編輯批準前不會變化。
C
第七段說，維基百科新近出臺的限制條件冒著降低網(wǎng)民合法編輯詞條的積極性這一風(fēng)險，為了規(guī)避這一風(fēng)險，維基百科把所謂的“經(jīng)驗豐富的編輯”標準設(shè)定得很低。
D
Robert Byrd是美國民主黨的參議員，最近維基百科中關(guān)于他的詞條被人篡改，錯誤地宣布他已經(jīng)死亡。
C
從文中可知維基百科現(xiàn)在的對編輯詞條的限制條件過于寬松，以致造成了許多尷尬情況發(fā)生。
D
從最后一段可知，Pierre Omidyar是eBay的創(chuàng)始人，因此D為正確答案。
C根據(jù)本篇文章，核能的危險性在于：A核的隱蔽性;B輻射線的探測;C核輻射;D輻射強度。
B
即使最低強度的輻射也能造成嚴重后果的條件是：A當它殺死為數(shù)不多的細胞時;B如果它損傷為數(shù)不多的細胞的話;C雖然被損傷的細胞可以自行恢復(fù);D如果被損傷的細胞不繁殖的話。

能從文章中推斷出的最恰當?shù)年愂鍪牵篈預(yù)防核輻射的重要性再強調(diào)也不過分;B輻射的秘密還沒有揭開;C癌癥主要是由輻射引起的;D輻射可能傷害那些意識不到輻射危害的人。
第五部分：
C
第一段的第一句講的是：越來越多的人過著單身的生活。第二句是講過單身生活的原因。C也是一種過單身生活的原因。因此填入C是連貫的。
E
第二段的第一句講的是：一個典型的過單身生活的人既非年長，也非孤獨。這是主題句。主題句后面應(yīng)是具體的說明。E是具體的說明，因而是正確的答案。
B
B是合適的選擇，因為上一句是這么說的：隨著人們能找到更好的工作，經(jīng)濟上變得更加獨立，他們就越有可能保持住單人的家庭。
F
上一句是Nina Hagiwara說的話，David C’Debaca表示同意。下面是他說的話，因而F是合適的選擇。
D
最后一段的第一句是這么說的：兒童認為，長大意味著想干什么就干什么。D說的是：似乎今天許多大人正在實現(xiàn)這種童年時的夢想。
第六部分：
文章大意：西班牙足球俱樂部馬塞羅那隊為羅納爾多付了3，500萬美元。他在1999年第一次為國家隊踢球，但在2002年的世界杯上他才顯示出了自己真正的價值，在巴西和英國的四分之一比賽中，以一個令人難以置信的任意球拿下了英國隊。
D
上文說到，“……他們不是在買一張漂亮的臉”，這就排除了“handsome”(漂亮的)、“good-looking”(好看的)和“attractive”(迷人的)。因此“ugly”(丑的)是合適的選擇。
A
從上文可以看出，這是一個強調(diào)句。因此“do”是合適的選擇。整個句子說的是：我確實有的是魅力。
C
第二段是講Ronaldinho的魅力所在。不難看出，“amazing”(令人吃驚的)是最佳選擇。“dangerous”(危險的)，“frightening”(可怕的)，“awful”(可怕的)均不合適。
C
“that”，“which”，“who”填入后生成的都是不合格的句子，“what”大致相當于“that which”。
B
“showing them off”是“表現(xiàn)自己”的意思，是固定的說法。
C
當Gremio跟還是七歲的Ronaldinho簽訂了一個合同時，當然是“期待”著重大的事情會發(fā)生。因而“expected”是合適的選擇。
A
上文說的是：是Ronald0首先叫他Ronaldinho。接著是解釋“Ronaldinho”是什么意思，因而“means”是合適的選擇。
D
打球和足球都用“play”，如：“play basketball”(打籃球)，“play volleyball”(打排球)和“play football”(踢足球)。
B
第二段有這樣一句話：The 23-year-old striker scored two goals in a 3-2 win over Deportivo La Coruna on March l.(在三月一日的以3比2勝Deportivo La Coruna的比賽中，23歲的中鋒得了兩個球。)在那個英文句子中，也出現(xiàn)了“over”這個介詞。這是提示。
C
該段的最后一個句子是這么說的：是本能發(fā)出指令的。因此用“improvisation”(即興)比較合適。“imagination”是“想像”，“hypotheses”是“假設(shè)”，“assumptions”也是“假設(shè)”的意思。
D
從該句最后一句中“enjoying the city’s nightlife”(享受該市的夜生活)可以看出，合適的選擇是“playboy”(花花公子)。
C
“足球”跟“俱樂部”搭配，其實，這一信息從第一段的第一個句子也能找到。因此“club”是正確的選擇。
B
從上文和下文都可以判斷，Ronaldinho是最“麻煩”(difficult)的球員。
D
“problem”，“question”，“issue”說成中文都是“問題”。但是，“problem”說的是一種情況，這種情況很難辦?！皅uestion”是指事情不清楚，需要問一問或需要考慮。“issue”常指爭論的問題。可見，在這個語境中“problem”是最合適的。
A
“himseIf”，“herself”，“yourself”填入空格后生成的都不合格的句子?！癳njoy life”是“享受生活”的意思。
第五篇：英語閱讀理解之綜合訓(xùn)練一
英語閱讀理解之綜合訓(xùn)練一
一.先通讀，后細讀
If you know me well, you know I don't like birthday parties.At least, I don't like birthday parties given for me.① I enjoy them when they’re for other people, but when they’re for me, I just don't like them.I remember one birthday party some friends of mine had for me when I was a student at the university.Of course, I had told my best friend Henry that I didn't want a party and I made him promise he wouldn't do anything.He agreed.I should have known better than to believe him.②
On the day of my birthday, we got home from school at about, oh, I don't know, three or half past three.We went inside and as usual I went into the bathroom and started to close the door when suddenly from behind the shower curtain(浴簾), a kind of strange female(女)voice started singing, “Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you.”
And then from all over the room, people joined in.There were about fifteen people hiding everywhere in the room.They had got my roommate's key and got in earlier.They had all planned to come out of the hiding place just at the same time while singing.I guess I really upset their plans by going in just to wash my hands.③
1.Which of the following sentences is NOT true? A.I got home from school at 3 or 3:30 on the day of my birthday.B.I dislike birthday parties held for me.C.Henry agreed that he would not do anything on my birthday.D.I knew there were some of my friends hiding in my room.2.I usually went into the ______ when I got home from school.A.living room
B.bedroom
C.bathroom
D.diningroom
3.What did my friends plan to do?
A.They planned to leave the room as soon as possible.B.They planned to sing as loudly as they could.C.They planned to eat in the bathroom.D.They had planned to come out of hiding places together.難句注釋
① At least, I don't like birthday parties given for me.至少我不喜歡為我開的生日晚會。
② I should have known better than to believe him.我本應(yīng)知道他要做什么而不該相信他的。
should have known是虛擬語氣，意為“本應(yīng)知道而未知”。
③ I really upset their plans by going in...我進去只是洗一下手，卻真的打亂了他們的計劃。
二.略讀: 在運用這一方法閱讀文章時，要特別注意：①文章的標題；②文章的首句或引導(dǎo)性段落；③文章尾部的結(jié)論性詞語；④反映段落中心思想的主題句。如果我們找到了每段的主題句，再將這些主題句集中在一起，就差不多能夠把握住全文的中心內(nèi)容了。
Some British and American people like to invite friends for a meal at home.But you should not be upset(難受的)if your English friends don't invite you home.It doesn't mean they don't like you!
Dinner parties usually start between 7 and 8 p.m., and end at about 11.Ask your hosts what time you should arrive.It's polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a gift.Usually the evening starts with drinks and snacks(小吃).① Do you want to be more polite? Say how much you like the room, or the picture on the wall.But remember—its not polite to ask how much things cost.In many families, the husband sits at one end of the table and the wife sits at the other end.They eat with their guests.You'll probably start the meal with soup or something small, then you'll have meat or fish with vegetables, and then dessert, followed by coffee.It's polite to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want it.②
Did you enjoy the evening? Call your hosts the next day, or write them a short thankyou letter.British and American people like to say “ Thank you, thank you, thank you.”all the time!
1.If you are going to attend a dinner party,____.A.you?d better bring a certain present with you
B.you must leave home for it at 7 p.m.C.you should ask your host when you should leave
D.you must arrive at it before 8 p.m.2.In which order will you eat or drink the following things at the meal?
A.Snacks, vegetables, meat and coffee.B.Coffee, drinks, soup, fish, vegetables and dessert.C.Soup, meat with vegetables, dessert and coffee.D.Drinks, soup, something small, fish and vegetables.3.Which is the correct way in which you express your enjoyment of the evening?
A.Before leaving for home, you should say, “Thank you for inviting me.”
B.When you shake hands with your host, you should say, “I did enjoy the evening.”
C.You can write a thank-you letter to your host after that.D.You should finish everything on your plate and take more if you want it.難句注釋
① Usually the evening starts with drinks and snacks.通常晚宴都是以一些飲料和小吃開始的。② Its polite to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want it.禮貌的做法是吃完你盤里的所有食物，如果還想吃的話再添一些。句首的it是形式主語。
三.查讀: 查讀(scanning)，也稱為掃描式閱讀，是指用較短的時間快速掃視文章，查找具體信息或相關(guān)事實與細節(jié)的閱讀技巧。查讀有一定的目的性，是帶著問題尋找答案的閱讀方法，在考試中具有很高的實用價值。
Last year I went to Nepal(尼泊爾)for three months to work in a hospital.I think it's important to see as much of a country as you can, but it is difficult to travel around Nepal.The hospital let me have a few days holiday, so I decided to go into the jungle(叢林)and I asked a Nepalese guide, Kamal Rai, to go with me.We started our trip at six in the morning with two elephants carrying our equipment.It was hot, but Kamal made me wear shoes and trousers to protect me from snakes.① In the jungle there was a lot of wildlife, but we were trying to find big cats, especially tigers.We climbed onto the elephants backs to see better, but it is unusual to find tigers in the afternoon because they sleep in the daytime.Then, in the distance, we saw a tiger, and Kamal told me to be very quiet.We moved nearer and found a dead deer.This was the tigers lunch!I started to feel very frightened.We heard the tiger a second before we saw it.It jumped out suddenly, five hundred kilos plus and four meters long.It grabbed(咬住)Kamal's leg between its teeth, but I succeeded(成功)in pulling Kamal away.② One of our elephants ran at the tiger and made it go back into the grass, so we quickly escaped to let the tiger eat its lunch.That night it was impossible to sleep.1.The writer of the passage must be____.A.a Nepalese doctor
B.a foreign tourist
C.a Nepalese traveler D.a foreign doctor 2.What made the writer suddenly start to feel very frightened? A.He heard the noise of the tiger.B.He saw the tiger in the distance.C.He realized that they were in danger.D.He knew that the tiger was in danger.3.What was unusual about the tiger?
A.It hunted a deer on a hot afternoon.B.It was 500 kilos plus and four meters long.C.It was afraid of an elephant.D.It almost killed the Nepalese guide.難句注釋

四.默讀：專家認為，做閱讀理解不應(yīng)該是讀，而應(yīng)該是看。默讀有利于發(fā)展閱讀者的內(nèi)部語言，有利于強化理解，有利于提高閱讀速度。測試表明，我們朗讀時，一分鐘能念125個字就已很不錯了，而默讀時，每分鐘可讀150個字以上，有人閱讀小說時甚至可達每分鐘600字。
As one comes to some crossroads, he or she sees a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead.① At other crossroads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road;and at still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow, because they are themselves on the main road.Mr Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroad.It had a “SLOW” sign.He slowed down when he came to the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming, and then drove across without stopping completely.At once he heard a police whistle(口哨聲), so he pulled into the side of the road and stopped.② A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and a pen in his hand and said, “You didnt stop at that crossing.”
“But the sign there doesn't say ?STOP?.” answered Mr Williams, “It just says ?SLOW?, and I did go slow.”
The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face.③ Then he put his notebook and pen away, scratched(抓)his head and said, “Well，I'm in the wrong street！”
1.Mr Williams was driving ____ one evening.A.to a party
B.to his office
C.home after work
D.to work from home 2.When he was stopped by a policeman, he ____.A.was driving at a high speed
B.was driving onto the main road

3.Though slowly, Mr Williams continued driving at the crossing because____.A.he didn't see any “STOP” sign there
B.he paid no attention to the traffic rules
C.he didn't have to stop
D.he was eager to get home 4.Looking round Mr Williams, the policeman was surprised because____.A.he met a mad man
B.he realized that he himself was mistaken
C.Mr Williams dared to speak to him like that
D.Mr Williams would not apologize to him 難句注釋
①a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead.一個讓駕駛員到了主干道就得停下來的標牌。
②pull into the side of the road and stop 轉(zhuǎn)向路邊并停了下來
③The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face.這個警察朝他的周圍看了看，臉上露出驚訝的表情。
五.注意閱讀速度：
一個人的閱讀能力的高低決定了他能否快速高效地吸收有用信息。合理的快速閱讀可以使閱讀者思想高度集中，在閱讀中積極思維，不時作出歸納、演繹、對比、推測，正確理解篇章大意。沒有一定的閱讀速度，就不能順利地輸入信息，閱讀理解的成效也會大大地降低。
高考要求每分鐘讀60個字，但我們在平常練習(xí)時應(yīng)達到并超過這個基本標準，以便在高考中能給自己擠出更多時間去進行思考。我們要培養(yǎng)快速閱讀的能力，就必須克服指讀、回讀、重讀等不良習(xí)慣，不要把注意力過度集中在孤立的單詞上，以致于對整句、整段的意思把握不清。與此同時，我們還應(yīng)注意運用多種閱讀技巧，如略讀、掃讀、跳讀等來搜尋關(guān)鍵詞、主題句，理清文章脈絡(luò)，把握語篇實質(zhì)。
Julia lived in the countryside, but one year she decided to visit the capital city to do some shopping and to see the sights.She stayed at a hotel near the central market.She had seldom been to the city before, and was very excited about what she would find.On the first morning of her visit, as she walked from the hotel to the market, she passed a beggar(乞丐).He was holding up a notice, which said, “Blind from birth.Please give generously(慷慨地).①”
Julia felt sorry for the blind beggar and she bent down and put a dollar coin into his bowl.“Thank you.” he said.The same thing happened again the following day.On the third day, however, Julia did not have a dollar coin.She had only fifty cents, so she dropped this into the beggars bowl.“What have I done wrong?” the beggar said, “Why are you so stingy(吝嗇的)today?” Julia was very surprised at what the beggar said.“How do you know I haven't given you a dollar?” she said, “If you’re blind you can't know what coin I put into your bowl.” “Ah,” explained the beggar,“The truth is that I'm not blind.I'm just looking after this place for the regular beggar while he’s on holiday.②” “On holiday?” Julia said, “And what exactly does your blind friend do on holiday?”

認識_______新單詞 Passage 1
If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak;when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again.Everybody knows that.Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it.When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his fault.But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, and few of us know that it is just his own fault.Have you ever found that some people can't read or write but they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things;they cannot write them down in a little notebook.They have to remember days, names, songs and stories;so their memory is the whole time being exercised.1.The main reason for one's poor memory is that ______.A.his father or mother may have a poor memory
B.he does not use his arms or legs for some time C.his memory is not often used
D.he can't read or write 2.If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, _______.A.you can't use them any more
B.they will become stronger C.they will become weak and won't become strong until you use them again D.they will become weak but they slowly become strong again 3.Which of the following is NOT true?
A.Your memory works in the same way as your arms or legs.B.Your memory like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you do not give it enough chance for practice.C.Don't learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memory.D.A good memory comes from more practice.4.Some people can't read or write, but they usually have better memories, because_______.A.they have saved much trouble
B.they have saved much time to remember things C.they have to use their memories all the time
D.they can't write everything in a little notebook 5.Give the best title for this passage.A.Don't Stop Using Your Arms Or Legs
B.How To Have A Good Memory C.Strong Arms And Good Memories
D.Learn From The People 詞匯擴展

Fish hear sounds, though they have simply no ears outside their bodies.However, fish do have ears inside their bodies, near the brain, and they hear very well with them.Some fish have been taught to recognize the difference between sounds better than some human beings do.Many underwater animals make noises only by chance while they are doing something else.Other sounds are real communications of a simple sort, telling one fish of the presence and direction of another.A few noises may be warning messages or discovery of food, etc.The earliest scientific report on fish sounds referred to one of these.A new field in science is learning to recognize and use underwater birds and other land creatures by their calls.But this method is a greater challenge than bird-watching, for many of the animals of the sea cannot be followed in any other known way.Their voices cry for attention.Yet we still have too little knowledge about many of the call makers which will some day be made known more fully.It is as though the great oceans were for daring man to invade them and to learn the secrets of the place from which his forefathers came so long ago.1.After reading the passage, we can conclude that _______.A.many fish often make meaningless noises
B.sound cannot pass through some fish bodies C.sound waves can easily be felt by fish bodies
D.some fish can easily understand some land creatures' calls 2.Recognizing underwater animals _______.A.is totally different from recognizing land creatures by their calls B.is more difficult than recognizing land creatures by their calls C.will change people's knowledge of fish
D.is more or less a battle 3.One of the earliest scientific reports on fish sounds was about ______.A.noises made occasionally by underwater animals
B.some sort of communication between fish C.the difference between sounds
D.what sort of fish the call maker was 4.From the last sentence, we can learn that_______.A.the human beings have invaded the oceans for long
B.more secrets of the great oceans are to be found out C.only very brave people can make use of the great ocean D.people are fighting each other to become the masters of the great oceans 詞匯擴展
① presence n.存在 ② invade v.涌入
Passage 3
If you are like most people, your intelligence is different from season to season.You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year.A well-known scientist, Ellsworth Huntington(1876－1947), concluded from other men's work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and temperature have an obvious effect on our mental abilities.He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than summer heat.This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year.It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking.One reason may be that in the spring man's mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.Fall is the next best season, then winter.As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation ROM thinking!1.Huntington based his conclusion on _______.A.records of changes in his own intelligence
B.work with peoples in different climates
C.records of temperature changes
D.all of the above 2.Ellsworth Huntington decided that climate and temperature have _______.A.a great effect on everyone's intelligence
B.effect on most people's intelligence
C.effect on only a few people's intelligence
D.no effect on people's intelligence 3.One possible reason why spring is the best season for thinking is that _______.A.all nature, including man, is growing then
B.it lasts longer than the other seasons C.it is neither too warm nor too cold
D.both A and C 4.The best seasons for thinking seem to be _______.A.spring and fall
B.winter and summer
C.summer and spring
D.fall and winter 5.According to the selection, vacation from thinking should be taken _______.A.several times throughout the year
B.during spring and fall
C.during the summer
D.as seldom as possible 詞匯擴展
① intelligence n.智力 ② climate n.③ abilities n.④ tend to be 往往是
⑤ factor n.因素 ⑥ vacation n.假期
Passage 4 Even if you are a good high-jumper, you can jump only about seven feet off the ground.You can not jump any higher because the earth pulls you hard.The pull of the earth is called gravity.You can easily find out the pull of the earth.If you weigh yourself, you will know how much gravity is pulling you.Since there is gravity, water runs downhill.When you throw a ball into the air, it falls back down.Because of gravity you do not fall off the earth as it whirls around.Then can we get a way from the earth and go far out into space? Now you can do it, because spaceships have been invented.The spaceship will go fast.It can escape the earth's gravity and carry you into space.1.In this passage, the word “gravity” means _______.A.the force of attraction among objects
B.the force which attracts the earth towards the sun C.the force which attracts objects towards the centre of the earth
D.the pull of everything 2.When you slip on something, you _______.A.sometimes fall down to ground
B.always fall down to the ground C.never fall down to the ground

C.it can keep everything on earth
D.it can throw a ball into the air 詞匯擴展
① whirl v.旋轉(zhuǎn) ② attract v.吸引

Three Days to See(Excerpts)假如給我三天光明（節(jié)選）
All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live.Sometimes it was as long as a year, sometimes as short as 24 hours.But always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed hero chose to spend his last days or his last hours.I speak, of course, of free men who have a choice, not condemned criminals whose sphere of activities is strictly delimited.Such stories set us thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances.What events, what experiences, what associations should we crowd into those last hours as mortal beings, what regrets? Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow.Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life.We should live each day with gentleness, vigor and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come.There are those, of course, who would adopt the Epicurean motto of “Eat, drink, and be merry”.But most people would be chastened by the certainty of impending death.In stories the doomed hero is usually saved at the last minute by some stroke of fortune, but almost always his sense of values is changed.He becomes more appreciative of the meaning of life and its permanent spiritual values.It has often been noted that those who live, or have lived, in the shadow of death bring a mellow sweetness to everything they do.Most of us, however, take life for granted.We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future.When we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable.We seldom think of it.The days stretch out in an endless vista.So we go about our petty tasks, hardly aware of our listless attitude toward life.The same lethargy, I am afraid, characterizes the use of all our faculties and senses.Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the manifold blessings that lie in sight.Particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in adult life.But those who have never suffered impairment of sight or hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed faculties.Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sounds hazily, without concentration and with little appreciation.It is the same old story of not being grateful for what we have until we lose it, of not being conscious of health until we are ill.I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life.Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight;silence would teach him the joys of sound.一.本文講述了作者的朋友們想為他開生日party以給他意外驚喜的事。
