實(shí)戰(zhàn)類例
1.It was raining heavily.Little Mary felt cold,so she stood _____ to her mother.
A.close B.closely
C.closed D.closing
【解析】 本題考查副詞的用法。由題意“正在下大雨，小瑪麗感到有點(diǎn)冷，于是她向媽媽身邊靠近�！笨芍狢、D兩項(xiàng)不對(duì)。close和closely都可作副詞，但close強(qiáng)調(diào)空間距離近，常與介詞to連用；而closely則指關(guān)系緊密、密切，也可表示注意力集中。如：Come close so that I can see you./He came quite close to where I was hiding./This problem is closely connected with that one.根據(jù)題意可知答案為A。
【答案】 A
2.The engine of the ship was out of order and the bad weather _____ the helplessness of the crew at sea.
A.added to B.resulted from
C.turned out D.made up
【解析】 本題考查短語動(dòng)詞的意義辨析。add to“增添，添加”；result from“起因于”；turn out“結(jié)果是，生產(chǎn)出”；make up“組成，編造，打扮”。由題意“輪船的發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)出了故障，而且天氣很糟，這使船員們更加絕望了�！笨芍鸢笧锳。
【答案】 A
3.Be careful when you cross this very busy street.If not,you may _____ run over by a car.
A.have B.get
C.become D.turn
【解析】 本題考查被動(dòng)語態(tài)的表達(dá)形式。被動(dòng)語態(tài)常由“be+過去分詞”構(gòu)成，但be�？蓳Q成get，如：I got caught for speeding.“我因超速而被抓住�！盨ome glasses got broken when we were moving.“我們搬家時(shí)，有些玻璃杯被打碎了。”Did you get invited to the party?“你被邀請(qǐng)參加舞會(huì)了嗎？”由題意“你過這繁忙的街道時(shí)要當(dāng)心。否則，你會(huì)被汽車撞著的�！笨芍鸢笧锽。
【答案】 B
4.As I know,there is _____ car in this neighbourhood.
A.no such B.no a
C.not such D.no such a
【解析】 本題考查such的特殊用法。such作形容詞時(shí)，后可接單數(shù)名詞、不可數(shù)名詞或復(fù)數(shù)名詞；當(dāng)接單數(shù)名詞時(shí)，冠詞a或an要置于such之后，如：such a question,such an interesting story。但no,any,some,all,many等則要放在such之前，如：No such person exists./They want beer,but don't give them any such thing-tea's good enough./He said “Get out!” or some such rude remark.由此可知答案A正確。B項(xiàng)中的no如改成not或把a(bǔ)去掉就正確了。因no such car等于not such a car，所以C、D兩項(xiàng)也不對(duì)。
【答案】 A
5.Allen had to call a taxi because the box was _____ to carry all the way home.
A.much too heavy B.too much heavy
C.heavy too much D.too heavy much
【解析】 本題考查much too和too much的區(qū)別。much too用來修飾形容詞或副詞，亦可寫作far too，如：That's much too expensive.“這太貴了�！盩he summer vacation passed much too quickly.“暑假過得太快了�！倍鴗oo much則修飾不可數(shù)名詞或動(dòng)詞，如：There is too much noise in the city.“城市噪音太大了�！盰ou talk too much.“你話說得太多了�！眛oo much亦可作主語或賓語，如：Too much has been said on this point.“在這點(diǎn)上說得夠多了�！盚e gave you too much.“他給你的太多了�！庇深}意可知答案為A。
【答案】 A

Americans do not usually give a handshake to each person when they have a party or business meeting. They will often just wave good-bye to all the people there, saying “Well, so long, everyone. I'll see you tomorrow.” They then leave without shaking hands.

§6.3 閱讀理解
A
Albert Einstein was probably the most famous scientist of the twentieth century.He changed scientific thinking in the modern world. He is generally considered as the greatest physicist who ever lived. What’s more, he devoted a lot of his time and energy to working for human rights and progress.
In 1933, while Einstein was visiting England and the United States, the Nazi government of Germany took all his things away, including his position and his citizenship. Einstein then settled down in the United States. In 1939, Einstein, who loved peace-afraid of a world in which only Hitler would had an atomic bomb(原子彈)-tried hard to persuade President Franklin D.Roosevelt in a famous letter to have the United States start uranium research. That Germany, after all, had no bomb, and that the first bomb would fall on Japan, could not have been expected. After the war, Einstein never stopped working for peace and reducing the number of soldiers in the world.
Although he wasn’t connected with any accepted religion(宗教),Einstein felt that trust in a personal God was too special an idea to be suitable to the God at work in this universe, but he never believed that the universe was one of chance or disorder. The universe to him was one of pure law and order.He once said,“God may know everything,but he is not hateful.”
1.From the passage we know that_____.
A.no scientist is as great as Albert Einstein during this century
B.Albert Einstein was likely to be the greatest scientist of his time
C.Albert Einstein made the first atomic bomb for the United States of America
D.Albert Einstein gave up his German citizenship for political reasons
【解析】 此題考查細(xì)節(jié)判斷。文中指出，愛因斯坦有可能是20世紀(jì)最偉大的科學(xué)家，即是他那個(gè)時(shí)代最杰出的科學(xué)家。
【答案】 B
2.If Einstein had known that Hitler had no atomic bomb and that the first atomic bomb would fall on Japan,he would_____.
A.have continued his scientific research
B.have won another Nobel Prize for physics
C.not have advised starting uranium research in the U.S.A.
D.not have moved to the U.S.A.
【解析】 此題考查判斷推理能力。愛因斯坦熱愛和平，當(dāng)時(shí)制造第一枚原子彈的目的是為了打擊納粹，維護(hù)世界和平，讓人民生活在和平、穩(wěn)定的環(huán)境中。由此得知，假如他知道了題中的事實(shí)，他決不會(huì)建議搞核試驗(yàn)研究。

“That's funny!These fellows in the middle of the plate have died.”Dr Alexander Fleming was talking to another doctor in a laboratory in London.He had been studying some germs(細(xì)菌）that he was growing on a plate.They were very dangerous germs because they caused different kinds of illnesses that could kill people.Dr Fleming found that a mould(霉菌）had floated in through the window landing on the plate.It had killed some of the germs it had touched.
“This certainly looks promising,”Fleming said.“We must grow some of this mould to see if it will kill other germs.”
He named the strange mould“penicillin”.It proved to be a killer of many germs.Fifty mice were given deadly germs and then half of them were injected(注射）with penicillin.The twenty-five untreated mice died,but twenty-four of those lived that had been treated with penicillin.Dr Fleming wrote a report about what he had found out.Hardly anybody took any notice of it.
In 1938 Dr Howard Florey,an Australian working in London,read Dr Fleming's report and was very interested.He found that penicillin was effective in treating blood poisoning in human beings.When World War Ⅱ broke out,it was not possible to make enough penicillin in England.
Dr Florey went to America where he helped to have enormous amounts of this wonderful drug made.It saved the lives of thousands of soldiers,sailors and airmen who would have died from their wounds if the hospitals had not had penicillin.

Einstein,a great scientist of the age,was almost as strange as his Theory of Relativity.
Once,while riding a street car in Berlin,he told the conductor that he had not given him the right change.The conductor counted the change again and found it to be correct,so he handed it to Einstein,saying,“The trouble with you is that you don't know your figures.”
Einstein said that there were only twelve people living who understood his Theory of Relativity although a good many books had been written to explain it.
He had nothing but contempt(藐視）for the things most peopleset their hearts on-for fame and riches(財(cái)富）and luxury(奢華）.
He didn't want money or praise.He made his own happiness out of such simple things as his work and playing the violin and sailing his boat.Einstein's violin brought him more joy than anything else in life.He said that he often thought in music.

Louis Pasteur,the famous French chemist and bacteriologist,invented“pasteurization”.In 1854 Pasteur was made head of the department of science at the University of Lille,and it was there that he made one of his most famous discoveries.Lille was a major centre for wine and beer-making,and some of the local wine-makers asked Pasteur if he could help solve the problem of keeping wine fresh.At that time,it was believed that food and drinks go“bad”due to a purely chemical process(變化過程）.But during a series of experiments Pasteur proved that tiny living organisms(微生物）caused food and drinks to go bad.In the case of wine and beer the organisms are already present in the form of the various yeasts(酵母）that caused the fermentation(發(fā)酵）process.Pasteur discovered that heating the wine gently for a few minutes after it had fermented would kill off the yeast that was left in the wine,with the result that the wine would remain fresh for much longer.He also proved that food and drinks could be turned bad by other organisms that were present in the air,and that they too would keep fresh much longer if they were kept in airtight containers.
The heating process was so successful that it made Pasteur famous.It was named“pasteurization”in his honour,and by about 1900 it had been widely used for processing and bottling cows' milk.The result was a huge drop in the number of bottle-fed babies dying from infant diarrhea(嬰兒腹瀉）and from that time on it has been a standard treatment for milk and many other food products.This simple process has saved thousands,possibly millions,of lives worldwide.

Wells,and English writer,wrote a book describing a trip to the moon.When the explorers(探險(xiǎn)者)landed on the moon,they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities.They expressed their surprise to the“moon people”they met.In turn,the “moon people”expressed their surprise.“Why?”they asked,“are you travel ing to outer space when you don't even use your inner space?”
H.G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon.In 1969,human beings really did land on the moon.People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon.However,the question that the “moon people”asked is still an interesting one.A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.
Underground systems are already in place.Many cities have underground car parks.In some cities,such as Tokyo,Seoul and Montreal,there are large underground shopping areas.The“Chunnel”,a tunnel(隧道)connecting England and France,is now complete.
But what about underground cities?Japan's Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems,called“Alice Cities.”The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats,offices,shopping,and so on.A solar dome(太陽(yáng)能穹頂)would cover the whole city.
Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth's space.The surface,they say,can be used for farms,parks,gardens,and wilderness.H.G. Wells'“moon people”would agree.Would you?

Kite
Probably the most famous kite in history was Benjamin Franklin's.In 1752 he flew a silk kite in a thunderstorm to prove that lightning and electricity are the same thing.
But kites have been used for many hundreds of years.Most experts believe kites originated in China about three thousand years ago.At first they were not used as a way to have fun on a breezy afternoon;the Chinese army used them as signals.A kite's color,its painted pattern,and the way it was flown could send messages far away.Kites were also used as beacons,to distribute pamphlets,and even to transport bombs.
Chinese soldiers tied bamboo shoots or stiff paper to their kites.When the kites soared overhead,the wind blowing through the bamboo or paper made a harsh whistling sound.The noise terrified the enemy,and they ran.
Just as today's kids imitate adults by playing with toy guns and toy airplanes,Chinese children quickly began flying kites.
Kites have been used through the centuries in religious ceremonies,at festivals,and as tools for studying weather.Kites contributed to people's knowledge as they began to build airplanes.
