【題目】閱讀下面材料，在空白處填入適當(dāng)?shù)膬?nèi)容（不多于3個單詞）或括號內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。

Sometimes your friends start to talk about a new video game or a new app they have downloaded. It sounds pretty cool, and your friends really seem to like it. You become so 【1】 (interest) in it that you want to buy it too. Has this ever happened to you?

In the US and in places around the world, there is a similar feeling of wanting the 【2】 (new), greatest tech gadgets (小玩意). There is a big 【3】 (attract) to getting the latest technology even though people may not need it. But why is this?

As to(關(guān)于) these technologies, there’s 【4】 initial （最初的） excitement that 【5】 (get) people’s attention, according to Richard Larson, a director at MIT, US. If there’s a big group of people 【6】 want these things, you want to be a part of the excitement too.

One of the major US 【7】 (company) that really take advantage of this is Apple. It comes out with a new iPhone with very small changes every year. But people still flock (涌入) to the stores even if they have just bought the previous phone.

However, 【8】 （buy）these things may not always be the best choice. You could be buying things that you don’t really need and 【9】 (spend) too much money just for the right to show it off to your friends.

Not only that, but our need to always be on your phones or playing video games takes 【10】 a lot of time in our lives. So is this excitement over technology a good or a bad thing?

【答案】

【1】interested

【2】newest

【3】attraction

【4】an

【5】gets

【6】who/that

【7】companies

【8】buying

【9】spending

【10】up

【解析】

試題分析：本文是對人們追求最新的東西的心理進(jìn)行分析。

【1】interested 句意：你變的對它感興趣。故填interested。

【2】newest 此處用形容詞最高級，表示“想要最新的”，故填newest。

【3】attraction 根據(jù)前面的a big可知，此處用名詞形式，故填attraction。

【4】an 表示“有一個最初的興奮”。Initial以元音音素開頭，故填an。

【5】gets excitement是先行詞，在從句中作主語，故定語從句謂語動詞用單數(shù)，根據(jù)文章用一般現(xiàn)在時態(tài)，故填gets。

【6】who/that 此處people作先行詞，指人，在定語從句中作主語，故填who/that。

【7】companies 根據(jù)前面的One of可知，后面的名詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式，故填companies。

【8】buying 此處是動名詞短語作主語，故填buying。

【9】spending 此處與and前面的buying并列，故填spending。

【10】up 固定詞組：take up，意為“占用，開始從事”，故填up。

be another Steve Jobs”. 【1】 Larry wrote this list of Steve's life lessons to remind us all.

It’s natural to greet friends with a smile and a wave . 【1】 But what happens if your face and body send mixed messages ? Would someone be more likely to believe the look on your face or the way you hold your body ?

Scientists have recently tackled these questions . They found that when a person is looking at your face , she might not believe what she sees if your body language doesn’t match the feeling that your face shows . 【2】 Previously , they had found that the tone of a person’s voice can be more important than the words that are spoken . For example , most people tend not to believe a person who says in a flat voice , “ I’m so excited . ”

When it came to emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language , most scientists suspected that the face was more important . To test if this was true , psychologists from the Netherlands and Boston showed people a number of pictures of isolated faces and isolated bodies (with faces blurred out（模糊的）) that showed anger or fear . 【3】 An angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips . A scared face had high eyebrow and a slightly open mouth . 【4】 A scared body had arms forward and shoulders square , as if ready to defend .

These results told the researchers that mixed signals can confuse people . Even when people pay attention to the face , body language sutly influences which emotion they read . 【5】 If you want to be understood , it helps to avoid sending mixed messages .

A. Studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists .

B. So , your body language is important for telling people how you feel .

C. Scientists feel new to study the mixed message that confuses people .

D. An angry body had arms back and shoulders at an angle , as if ready to fight .

E. Body language can sometimes be misunderstood in different culture backgrounds .

F. When you do this , your face and body work together to show your friends that you’re happy to see them .

G. They also showed pictures in which angry or scared faces were paired with angry or scared bodies .

【題目】A rainforest is an area covered by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely dipping below l6℃. Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate. Without the forest cover，these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere, warming the rest of the world. Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns，potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.

In the past hundred years，humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources（資源）: land for crops，wood for paper and other products，land for raising farm animals. This action affects the environment as a whole. For example，a lot of carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）in the air comes from burning the rainforests. People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.

There are two main reasons for this. Firstly，when people cut down trees，generally they can only use the land for a year or two. Secondly，cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now，but in the long run it actually reduces the world’s wood supply.

Rainforests are often called the world’s drug store. More than 25％ of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. However，fewer than l％of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value. It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the world’s shrinking (萎縮的) rainforests.

【1】Rainforests can help to adjust the climate because they .

A. reflect more heat into the atmosphere

B. bring about high rainfall throughout the world

C. rarely cause the temperature to drop lower than l6℃

D. reduce the effect of heat from the sun on the earth

【2】What does the word “this” underlined in the third paragraph refer to?

A. We will lose much more than we can gain.

B. Humans have begun destroying rainforests.

C. People have a strong desire for resources.

D. Much carbon dioxide comes from burning rainforests.

【3】It can be inferred from the text that __________________.

A. we can get enough resources without rainforests

B. there is great medicine potential in rainforests

C. we will grow fewer kinds of crops in the gained land

D. the level of annual rainfall affects wind patterns

【4】What might be the best title for the text?

A. How to Save Rainforests

B. How to Protect Nature

C. Rainforests and the Environment

D. Rainforests and Medical Development

【題目】It was a hot, humid day, and my brother Walt and I had decided that the only way to survive it would be to go swimming in a deep swimming hole across Mr.Blickez’s pasture(牧場) and through some woods.

The only problem with our plan was that this pasture was guarded by a huge, mean Hereford bull. Mr.Blickez had told us that Elsie was the meanest bull in the township, maybe even the county, and we believed him. But the hotter it got, the more we thought there was somethingfishyabout his claim. For one thing, we remembered Mr.Blickez liked telling tall tales; for another, Elsie seemed like an odd name for a bull.

Finally, I talked Mom into asking permission for us to walk through the pasture, but then another problem surfaced. Mom said she would talk to Mr.Blickez if we would take our cousin Joanie along with us. Joanie was almost two years older than me and a head taller. If her teasing ever got around my grade school, it would be all over for me. In fact, I still had a headache from a quarrel with her that morning. “I’m not going swimming with that dumb girl cousin.” I told my mom.

“Either Joanie goes with, or you stay home alone,” Mom said in her serious tone. I gave in and we set out. On our way across the pasture, Walt yelled suddenly. Elsie had approached him quietly and was licking(舔) his back. Joanie and I dove under the wire fence, but while I was on the ground I looked up and saw that Elsie wasn’t a big mean bull after all. She was going to keep licking my brother’s back as long as he stood still.

We had many good days growing up and visiting our secret swimming hole guarded by the so-called “big mean bull”. And as it turned out, for a girl cousin, Joanie hasn’t been too bad. She’s been one of my best friends over the years.

【1】What’s the meaning of the underline word “fishy” in Paragraph 2?

A. Funny. B. Interesting.

C. Doubtful. D. Believable.

【2】What’s the second problem the author has to face?

A. His mother insisted on his cousin going with him.

B. His cousin made jokes on him in his grade school.

C. He quarreled with his cousin and had a headache.

D. His mother failed to ask permission for him.

【3】What does the author think of Elsie in the end?

A. Aggressive. B. Unkind.

C. Bad-tempered. D. Friendly.

【4】What’s the passage mainly about?

A. The bull guarding Mr.Blickez’s farm.

B. The story of visiting the swimming hole.

C. How friendly the so-called mean bull was.

D. How the author changed his attitude to Joanie.
