1. When can people think about our eyes very often? On the time when we ______.
can't see well/perfectly
[解析] 11-15 When we can see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is (Q11) only when we cannot see perfectly that we come to see bow important our eyes are. People who are nearsighted can only see things that (Q12) are very dose to their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, (Q13) such as writing, reading and sewing, become nearsighted. They have to wear glasses (Q14) in order to see distant things clearly. (Q15) People who are farsighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty reading a book unless they hold it at arm' s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too. Q11: When can people think about our eyes very often?
[精析] 该题为简答填空题。根据短文的第一句“it is only when we can not see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are.”(只有当我们视力下降的时候才会体会到眼睛的重要。)可以知道,只要换一种说法就是答案了,故此处应填“can’t see well/perfectly”。
2. What things can nearsighted people see clearly? Things which are very ______ their eyes?
close to
[解析] What things can nearsighted people see clearly?
[精析] 根据提示信息可推知所缺内容是描述物体性质的,听时抓住“are very close to their eyes”可知近视者只能看见眼前的事物,故此处应填“close to”。
3. Who will become nearsighted easily? People who do a lot of ______ will become nearsighted easily.
close work
[解析] Who will become nearsighted easily?
[精析] 根据提示信息可知所缺内容是有关容易造成近视原因的,而文中有原话“Many people Who do a lot of close work,such as writing,reading and sewing,become nearsighted.” (那些从事如写作、阅读和缝纫等近距离工作的人很容易变成近视。
4. Why do nearsighted people wear glasses? In order to see ______.
distant things clearly
[解析] Why do nearsighted people wear glasses?
[精析] 根据提示信息可知该题提问目的。听时抓住“Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly.”(然后他们就要带上眼镜以看清远处的物体。)in order to后面接的就是原因。
5. What problem do farsighted people suffer from? They have difficulty seeing ______.
close things clearly
[解析] What problem do farsighted people suffer from?
[精析] 根据提示信息可推知所缺内容有关具体事物方面,听时注意“People who are farsighted suffer from just the Opposite problem.”(患远视的人有着相反的问题。)既然近视是看不清远处的物体,而且远视是跟其相反,那就应该是看不清近处的物体了,接着的内容更证明了这一点。

Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
Task 1 There are some steps you can take yourself to avoid catching a cold. Contrary to popular belief, colds are not caused by exposure to severe weather. Colds are caused by viruses (病毒) harbored in the body, and you' re better off out on the ski slopes or even waiting for the bus on a snowy day than you are in a warm room, surrounded by friends, co-workers, or fellow students, who just may be passing the viruses around. If you feel a chill when you' re coming down with a cold, you' re already sick. A chill is an early symptom: it' s the cold that caused the chill, not the other way around. While the virus can spread through droplets(飞沫) propelled into the air when a cold-sufferer coughs or sneezes. Surprisingly, this is not the most common mute of transmission. Numerous studies have now shown that the overwhelming majority of colds are "caught" by hand contact. A cold sufferer rubs her nose, thereby transferring the virus to her hand. Then a friend comes to visit. "Don' t kiss me," she cautions, so the friend steps back and presses her hand. The friend then wipes her own nose or eye, and several days later is stricken with a cold. Or parents pick up their child' s discarded(丢弃的) tissues and carefully throw them away, but fail to wash their hands afterward. Cold viruses also can be transferred to objects--telephones, towels, plates and remain infectious for up to three hours. Frequent hand-washing--on the part of the cold sufferer as well as other members of the house hold--will minimize the spread of viruses in this way.
1. According to the author, we are most likely to catch a cold if we ______.
A.attend a party with a lot of people
B.stay long hours in the street on a snowy day
C.go out on an extremely cold and windy day
D.go skiing or skating in the open air
A B C D
A
[解析] 题干意为“根据文章可知,我们很容易感冒,如果…”。该题为细节题。由第一段中“... and you’re better off out on the ski slopes or even waiting...who just may be passing the virus around.”可以看出即使在温暖的屋于里很多人在一起也比在雪天里等公共汽车容易感冒。
2. From what the author says, we can infer that "Exposure to severe weather causes colds. "is ______.
A.only a supposition of doctors
B.still the view held by many people
C.an out-of-date view of people in the past
D.a fact already proven by doctors
A B C D
B
[解析] 题干意为“根据作者的叙述,我们可以推断出‘在寒冷的天气容易感冒’是…”。该题为推理题。由第一段第二句“Contrary to popular belief, colds are not caused by exposure to severe weather.”可以看出和人们普遍认为相反的是,感冒并不是由严寒的天气引起的。由此可以推断出还是有很多人认为感冒是由严寒的天气引起的。
3. To prevent viruses from spreading, we should ______.
A.shake hands with our friends instead of kissing them
B.never touch the telephones, towels or plates
C.often wash our hands
D.often rub our noses and eyes
A B C D
C
[解析] 题干意为“为了防止病毒传播,我们应该…”。该题为细节题。由文章最后一句“Frequent hand-washing...will minimize the spread of viruses in this way.”可以看出经常洗手会很好地防止病毒传播。
4. Man is most likely to be stricken with a cold if ______.
A.he often rubs his eyes or nose
B.he fails to expose the cold viruses to air
C.he visits his friend in a warm room
D.he shakes hands with a cold-sufferer
A B C D
D
[解析] 题干意为“如果…很容易得感冒。”该题为细节题。由第二段中“Numerous studies have shown that the overwhelming majority of colds are‘caught’by hand contact.”可以看出,研究表明很多感冒是由手接触引起得。
5. The best title for this passage might be ______.
Task 2 The human brain contains 10 thousand million cells and each of these may have a thousand connections. Such enormous numbers used to discourage us and cause us to dismiss the possibility of making a machine with human-like ability, but now that we have grown used to moving forward at such a pace we can be less sure. Quite soon, in only 10 or 20 years perhaps, we will be able to assemble a machine as complex as the human brain, and if we can we will. It may then take us a long time to render it intelligent by loading in the right soft ware (软件) or by altering the architecture but that too will happen. I think it is certain that in decades, not centuries, machines of silicon (硅) will arise first to rival and then exceed their human ancestors. Once they exceed us they will be capable of their own design. In a real sense they will be able to reproduce themselves. Silicon will have ended carbon' s long control. And we will no longer be able to claim ourselves to be the finest intelligence in the known universe. As the intelligence of robots increases to match that of humans and as their cost declines through economies of scale we may use them to expand our frontiers, first on earth through their ability to withstand environments, harmful to ourselves. Thus, deserts may bloom and the ocean beds be mined. Further ahead, by a combination of the great wealth this new age will bring and the technology it will provide, the construction of a vast, man created world in space, home to thousands or millions of people, will be within our power.
1. In what way can we make a machine intelligent?
A.By making it work in such environments as deserts, oceans or space.
B.By working hard for 10 or 20 years.
C.By either properly programming it or changing its structure.
D.By reproducing it.
A B C D
C
[解析] 题干意为“通过什么方法我们可以使机器更加智能化?”该题为细节题。由第一段最后一句“It may then take us a long time to render it intelligent by loading in..but that too will happen.”可以看出为它安装合适的软件或改变其构架可以使它智能化。
2. What does the writer think about machines with human-like ability?
A.He believes they will be useful to human beings.
B.He believes that they will control us in the future.
C.He is not quite sure in what way they may influence us.
D.He doesn't consider the construction of such machines possible.
A B C D
A
[解析] 题干意为“作者怎样看待智能机器?”该题为推理题。由最后一段中“Thus,deserts may bloom and the ocean beds be mined...will be within our power.”可以看出使用机器可以为我们拓展和改善环境,沙漠可以变绿洲,海底还可以采矿,由此可以推断具有人的智慧的机器将会给人类带来福利。
3. The word "carbon" (Line 3, Para 2) stands for ______.
A.intelligent robots
B.a chemical element
C.an organic substance
D.human beings
A B C D
D
[解析] 题干意为…carbon“代表…”。该题为词汇题。由第二段最后两句“Silicon will have ended carbon's long control.And we will no longer be able to claim ourselves to be the finest intelligence in the known universe.”可以看出carbon指代human beings。
4. A robot can be used to expand our frontiers when ______.
A.its intelligence and cost are beyond question
B.it is able to bear the rough environment
C.it is made as complex as the human brain
D.its architecture is different from that of the present ones
A B C D
A
[解析] 题干意为“在什么情况下机器人可用于开发边远地区?”谊题为细节题。由第三段开头“As the intelligence of robots increases to match that of humans and as and as their cost declines through economies of scale...”可以看出随着机器人的智能增长到人类智能相当的地步,随着它的制造费用下降,我们可以用它来开拓边疆。
5. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A.after the installation of a great number of cells and connections, robots will be capable of self-reproduction
B.with the rapid development of technology, people have come to realize the possibility of making a machine with human-like ability
C.once we make a machine as complex as the human brain, it will possess intelligence
D.robots will have control of the vast, man-made world in space
A B C D
B
[解析] 题干意为“根据文章可以推断出…”。该题为推理题。文章开头作者就叙述了人脑的复杂,正因为这种复杂使我们排除了制造具有人一样智能的机器的可能性。但从“but now that...”开始,以及第二段、第三段,作者一步步叙述了随着科技的飞速发展,制造可以与人类智能相当的机器人的可能性。
Task 3 Environment is everything that surrounds us: plants, animals, buildings, country, air, water--in fact everything that can affect us in any way. And environment differs in different parts of the world. Ecology is the science of how living creatures and plants exist together and depend on each other on the local environment. Where an environment is undisturbed, the ecology of an area is in balance. But ff a creature dies out or an alien(相异的) species is introduced, then the ecology of this area will be upset. Man is a part of the environment and has done more to upset the ecology during his short span on earth than any other living creature. He has poisoned the atmosphere and polluted both land and water. He has wasted the earth' s natural resources with no thought for the future. He has killed a lot of precious animals for his delicacies (精美的食品)on the table and for his elegant overcoats. Since man has done so much damage, it is up to man to try to put matters right. And the sooner he does something about it, the better. 1) 1 is everything that surrounds us. 2) 2 is the science of how living creatures and plants exist together. 3) The ecology of an area is 3 , where an environment is undisturbed. 4) Man is 4 of the environment. 5) Man has poisoned the atmosphere and 5 both land and water.
