A.Different part of the brain had different effect.
B.Chemical changes stopped during our sleeping;
C.There was a storehouse in the brain.
A B C
A
[解析] 17-20 During the 19th century scientists thought that each part of our man's brain does a different job. In the past fifty years there has been a great increase in the amount of research done on the brain. Scientists have discovered that the way the brain works is not so simple as people may think. Chemists tell us that 100,000 chemical changes take place in the brain every second. Some recent researches also suggest that we can remember everything that happens to us. We may not be able to think back the things we've heard and seen, but it is all kept there in the storehouse of the human mind. Earlier scientists thought that power of one's brain got weaker and weaker as one grew older. But it is now thought that that is not true. As long as the brain is given plenty of exercise it keeps its power. It has been proved that an old person who has always been active in the mind has a quicker mind than a young person who has only done physical work without using much of his brain. It is now thought that the more work we give our brains, the more work they are able to do.
13. How many chemical changes take place in the brain?
A.10,000 every second.
B.6,000,000 every minute.
C.100,000 every minute.

14. How can the brain keep its power?
A.To increase the amount of research done on the brain.
B.To say exactly what each part of the brain does.
C.To give the brain plenty of exercise.
A B C
C
15. What can we learn from what the speaker said?
A.We can remember everything that happens to us.
B.The power of one's brain gets weaker as one grows older.
C.We should use our brain less so that it can work better.
2. I thought her nice and honest ______ I met her.
A.first time
B.for the first time
C.the first time
D.by the first time
A B C D
C
句意为“我第一次见到她就认为她善良而诚实。”空格处需填入连接词,四个选项中只有[C]the first time可充当连词。the first time I met her相当于时间状语从句when I first met her。for the first time“作为第一次”,只作状语,不能连接句子。
3. --What has happened? --I got injured in a car accident. --I suppose you ______ too fast.
8. The money spent on a college student ______ up to about 7,000-8,000 Yuan a year.
A.pays
B.costs
C.adds
D.uses
A B C D
C
句意为“一年花在一个大学生身上的钱大约在七到八千元之间。”同为“花(费)”, pay的主语是人,而cost的主语为物,但不能是“钱”,故排除[A]、[B];[D]则项use和主语之间构成逻辑上的动宾关系,应用被动语态;add up to为固定词组,表示“加起来等于,总计为”。
9. He got angry with ______ was against his opinion.
A.whom
B.who
C.whoever
D.anyone
A B C D
C
分析句子结构,可看出空格处需要填入一个引导with后的宾语从句且在从句中作主语的连接词,因此首先排除[A]、[D]两项;[B]项who引导名词从句时含有疑问的意思,如:I don't know who have taken my umbrella.(我不知道是谁误拿了我的伞)。[C]项, whoever=anyone who,句意为“无论谁反对他,他都会生气。”

第三部分 阅读理解 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。
A Penguins(企鹅) live together in large and busy colonies. Every pair has a little piece of ground. When a penguin wants to walk through his neighbor's ground he must ask permission. If he does not, he will have to fight. Penguins come and go all day. They fight and look after their children. All penguins are good parents and the Emperor penguins are perhaps the best parents in the world. They walk in from the sea in the middle of the dark Antarctic winter. They choose their wives in the dark. They can only hear them -- not see them. Then the females lay their eggs. The males hold them on their feet inside a fold of skin. If the eggs get cold there will be no chicks. There is no food. The snow falls. The wind blows sometimes at 150 kilometers an hour. The penguins do not move. When the females return from the sea they will not remember their husbands. It does not matter. Only one thing matters -- the eggs. Emperor penguins never fight -- unless a penguin leaves a chick for a minute. Then they fight because they all want it. They are strange and wonderful birds.
1. Each pair of penguins lives together with ______.
A.their parents
B.some good neighbors
C.many other penguins

B.a female
C.an egg
D.a chick left alone by its parents
A B C D
D
根据短文最后一段中Emperor penguins never fight—unless a penguin leaves a chick for a minute.Then they fight because they all want it.可知他们为受到遗弃的chick而打斗。易误选[A],只有在经过一块土地而没有请求许可的情况下,才会打斗,而不是为了土地就打斗。
3. Penguins are strange and wonderful birds because ______.
A.they don't care about their children
B.the females look after their eggs
C.the males eat nothing while holding their eggs inside warm fold of skin
D.the parents will leave their children when they are born

C A new plan for getting children to and from school is being started by the education authorities (当局) in part of Eastern England. This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their children's safety on the roads. Until now the County Council has only been prepared to provide bus service for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport, they will be prepared to go ahead, provided that the arrangement will not lose money and that children taking part will be attending their nearest school. The new plan is to be tried out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington school. The children live just within the three-mile limit and the Council has said in the past it won't undertake to provide free transport to the school. But now they have agreed to organize a bus service from Milton to Impington and back. Between 50 and 60 parents would like their children to take part and a Council official has said the cost to parents should be less than £ 6.50 a term. They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children living further away to Impington, The same bus would now just make an' extra journey to pick up the. Milton children. The official said they would connect with other groups of parents who had once asked if transport could be provided for their children, to see if they'd like to take part in the new plan.
1. The children the Council ran buses for in the past were those ______.
A.whose parents were worried about them
B.who would have had to walk otherwise
C.who could not walk
D.who had to travel a long way
A B C D
D
根据文章第二段的第一句可知答案为[D]。迄今为止(即过去),郡议会(the County Council)只为那些家离学校超过三英里的孩子们或有特殊原因的孩子们提供公共汽车的服务。
2. Who will take part in the Council's new plan?
A.The children who live at Milton and go to Impington school.
B.The children who live at Impington and go to Milton school.
C.The children who live at Milton and go to Milton school.
D.The children who live at Impington and go to Impington school.
5. The parents the Council is now going to contact are those ______. A. who had not yet answered letters B. who didn't want to pay C. whose children stayed away from schoolD. who had asked about transport before
A B C D
D
从最后一段可知,郡议会还会与以前曾经询问过类似交通问题的家长联系,询问是否愿意参加此项新计划。
D Laptop(便携式) computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and air planes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms. Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1,500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $ 10 million computer program at Westlake, a 100-year-old access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use E-mail to "speak" with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast food restaurant or under the tree -- anywhere at all! Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as, colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable (可携带的) Internet, but also libraries and other re sources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. States officials al so are testing laptop programs at other universities, too. At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, "Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we're giving students a window to the world. They can see everything and do every thing."
1. The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to ______.
2. What does the underlined word" speak" in the second paragraph really mean?
A.They communicate with each other using E-mail.
B.They use the computer language.

A B C D
A
由第二段“In addition,they will be able to use E-mail to“speak”with their teachers...”可知,学生们可以在电子邮件中与他们的老师、同学和家长进行交流。并不是真正语音的“说”。
3. Which of the following is true about Westlake College?
A.All teachers use computers.
B.1,500 students have laptops.
C.It is an old college in America.
D.Students there can only use computers at school.
A B C D
C
由第四段第一句可知超过百分之六十的教员拥有便携式电脑而不是全部,因此排,除[A];[B]项“1,500个学生都有便携式电脑”是未来的五年计划而不是现状;[D]“那里的学生几乎在任何时候任何地方都能使用电脑”而非只是在学校。由第二段“..,a 100- year-old access to the Internet.”可知Westlake College是一个古老的、有着悠久历史的学校。
4. Why did one Westlake teacher say they are giving students "a window to the world"?
A.Because students can attend lectures on information technology in Westlake college.
B.Because students can travel around the world by the laptops there.
C.Because students can get information from around the world by the laptops there.
D.Because students Can have free laptops in Westlake college.
E Television, or TV, the modern wonder of electronics (电子学), brings the world into your own home in sight and sound. The name TELEVISION comes from the Greek work TELL, meaning "far", and the Latin word VIDERE, meaning "to see". Thus, television means "seeing far". Sometimes television is referred to as VIDEO, from a Latin word meaning "I see". In Great Britain, the popular word for television is "telly". Television works in much the same way as radio. In radio sound is changed into ELECTROMAG NETIC(电磁波)waves which are sent through the air. In TV, both sound and light are changed into electromagnetic waves. Experiments leading to modern television took place more than a hundred years ago. By the year 1920s, inventors and researchers had turned the early theories into working models. Yet it took another thirty years for TV to become an industry. As an industry ,TV provides jobs for hundreds of thousands who make TV sets and broadcasting equipment. It also provides work for actors, technicians, and others who put on programs. As an art, television brings the theater and other cultural(文化的)events into the home.
1. From which languages is the word "television" taken?
A.Greek and English.
B.Latin and English.
C.Greek and Latin.
D.English and Japanese.
A B C D
C
由第一段第二句可知,电视一词起源于希腊语和拉丁语。
2. How is television different from radio?
A.Sound is changed into electromagnetic waves.
B.Light is changed into electromagnetic waves.
C.Both sound and light are changed into electromagnetic waves.
D.Either sound or light is changed into electromagnetic waves.
