9.根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項(xiàng)中,選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng).選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng).
(71)BPeople traveled in search of food and shelter or in order to flee from their enemies.Sometimes they were looking for gold or silver in order to become rich.On other occasions they were searching for rich farmland.
This is not to say that no one ever traveled just for fun.Even in ancient times,some pleasure travel occurred.During a typical season,700,000 tourists would crowd into the ancient city of Rome,where animals performed and magicians entertained them.(72)E
(73)F International tourist arrivals alone reached as many as 546 million in 1994 and are forecast to rise to 937 million in 2010,according to the World Trade Organization.
(74)AProbably the most common reason for traveling is related to our physical well-being.Actually,traveling to sports events is one of the fastest growing types of travel.In our fast developing society where stress has become part of people's life,people can rest and relax by having a change of environment and activities.
(75)G No one seems to doubt that travel broadens the mind.In 18 th century Europe,young men would go on a Grand Tour to various countries in order to complete their education.Today the desire to travel to different countries is encouraged by modern mass media.People who travel to other countries can at the same time learn more about their own country and culture.

A.But why do people like traveling so much?
B.Throughout history,most travel was not for pleasure.
C.So they travel to a lake for a swim or to a park for a hike.
D.The improvement in transportation has also encouraged people to travel.
E.People had appeal to their lives in the past.
F.The growth of tourism has become a modern phenomenon experienced by all countries in the world.
G.Another important reason for traveling is to satisfy our curiosity about different places and cultures.

分析 本文主要解釋了旅游的發(fā)展過(guò)程.首先從旅游開(kāi)始的時(shí)候是人們獲取食物的方法,到人們旅游為了樂(lè)趣.同時(shí)也解釋了人們喜歡旅游的原因.

解答 71.B.上下文邏輯聯(lián)系題.根據(jù)空格后面的People traveled in search of food and shelter or in order to flee from their enemies.可知人們旅游是為了尋找食物、住處和逃離敵人,這與B中的most travel was not for pleasure"大部分旅游不是為了快樂(lè)"一致. 
72.E.上下文邏輯聯(lián)系題.根據(jù)空格前面的some pleasure travel occurred知有人是通過(guò)旅游來(lái)獲得樂(lè)趣的,與E中的富裕的羅馬人參加奧運(yùn)會(huì)獲得樂(lè)趣一致. 
73.F.上下文邏輯聯(lián)系題.根據(jù)空格后面的International tourist arrivals alone reached as many as 546 million in 1994 and are forecast to rise to 937 million in 2010可知國(guó)際旅游人數(shù)在增加,與F中的The growth of tourism意義一致.
74.A.上下文邏輯聯(lián)系題.根據(jù)空格后面的Probably the most common reason for traveling可知這是解釋旅游受喜歡的原因,說(shuō)明了前面應(yīng)該是一個(gè)問(wèn)題,根據(jù)前后的因果關(guān)系,可知選A. 
75.G.上下文邏輯聯(lián)系題.倒數(shù)第二段解釋了一個(gè)原因,這里最后一段應(yīng)是解釋另外一個(gè)原因,與G中的Another important reason for traveling意義一致.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做題時(shí)需要明白整篇文章的主旨,文章整體的思路和每一段的用意以及作者寫作的意圖.花些時(shí)間理清段落之間和句子之間的邏輯關(guān)系也有助于把握文章的整體結(jié)構(gòu)和思路.

4.To create"Washed Up Transforming a Trashed Landscape",Alejandro Duran gathers plastic trash that is washed up on the beaches of Sian Ka'an,Mexico's largest federallyprotected reserve.The site is also a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Yet every day,plastic pollution from around the world is washed up onto its shores.These materials inspired Duran to create a series of environmental art pieces,which he records with photos and videos.
I had the opportunity to speak with Duran.Duran was born in Mexico City and is now based in Brooklyn.He said that he's been collecting materials and creating photographs for the past five years,and the work is ongoing."The project will tell me when to stop".
Each piece can convey a vastly different mood,from the calm greens of soda bottles to the playful rainbows of toothbrushes."I'm making art,"said Duran."It comes from the context and my moods.You can't say,only make something dark."The work reflects and plays with natural forms,exploring how humans influence the environment.The colorful and playful images can be much attentiongrabbing."Beauty is a hook (鉤子) to arrest people's attention."said Duran.
In addition to promoting awareness about the plastic pollution problem,Duran is also involved in educational programs and helps to organize beach cleanups.He has also made a study of the types of products that are washed ashore in Sian Ka'an,and has identified objects from 50different countries.Although there's no way to know where or how these objects were dropped into the sea,their labels show the global nature of the problem.
32.What does Alejandro Duran do with the trash?C
A.He moves it away.
B.He collects and burns it.
C.He turns it into a form of art.
D.He puts it together for people to see.
33.What does Alejandro Duran mean by saying"The project will tell me when to stop"?C
A.He will stop the project soon.
B.It's hard to carry on the project.
C.He will go on with the project.
D.The project is important to him.
34.Alejandro Duran runs the project mainly toD.
A.recycle the trash
B.change his career
C.clean up the beach
D.raise public awareness about pollution
35.What is the text mainly about?B
A.Plastic pollution in the ocean.
B.An artist creating environmental art.
C.The global nature of the pollution problem.
D.Mexico's largest federallyprotected reserve.

20.As more people use smart phones to pay bills and store personal information,strict password security has become more important than ever.A new study shows that free-form gestures-sweeping fingers in shapes across the screen of a smart phone-can be used to unlock phones.These gestures are less likely to be observed and reproduced by others than traditional typed passwords.
"All that it takes to steal a password is a quick eye,"said one of the researchers of the study."With all the personal information we have on our phones today,improving their security is becoming increasingly necessary."In developing a secure solution to this problem,the researchers studied the practicality of using free-form gestures.With the ability to create any shape in any size and location on the screen,the gestures were popular as passwords.Since users create them without following a template,the researchers predicted these gestures would allow for greater complexity.
The researchers carried out a create-test-retest experiment where 63people were asked to create a gesture,recall it,and recall it again 10days later.The gestures were captured on a recognizer system designed by the team.Using this data,they tested the complexity and accuracy of each gesture using information theory.The result of their analysis is that people are favorable to use free-form gestures as passwords.
To put their analysis into practice,the researchers then had seven students in computer science and engineering,each with considerable experience with touchscreens(觸摸屏),attempt to steal a free-form gesture password by observing a phone user secretly.None of them were able to copy the gestures with enough accuracy.The gestures appear to be extremely powerful against attacks.
Though the testing is in its early stage and widespread adaptation of this technology is not yet clear,the research team plans to continue to analyze the security and management of free-form passwords in the future.They believe this is the first study to explore free-form gestures as passwords.They will soon publish their findings.

32.What can we learn about free-form gestures?A
A.They are improving mobile security in a way.
B.Users will have to make use of simple gestures.
C.They will never be copied by others.
D.Users must move their fingers in fixed shapes.
33.The experiment in paragraph 4is to testD of free-form gestures.
A.template      
B.a(chǎn)pplication        
C.a(chǎn)ccuracy         
D.security
34.According to the text,the researchers think thatB.
A.it is easy to steal any password with a quick eye
B.better ways of setting passwords should be developed
C.people had better not use smart phones to pay bills
D.personal information should not be stored in a phone
35.The main purpose of the text is toD.
A.a(chǎn)dvise people to use free-form gestures 
B.discuss whether smart phones are safe
C.talk about the practicality of passwords 
D.introduce the study of a new password.

17.Sina Weibo,one of the country's most popular micro-blogging sites,has launched a paid service.For a 10 yuan ($ l.57)monthly fee,users get a membership on their Sina Weibo accounts.
   According to Xu Yuanyuan,a member of the marketing team at Sina,the move is to guarantee a more convenient and safer environment for users.But despite the company's efforts to increase income,it seems that most of its 300 million users still prefer the free version.
   The premium membership(高級(jí)會(huì)員) plans,announced by the company on Monday,brought about negative comments from its users.
"The current service is good enough for me",said a Beijing-based micro-blogger."I don't really need those value-added services and it might be a waste of money.I might consider paying for it if some more features are added."
Dong Xu,an analyst with consulting firm Analysys International,said that Sina shouldn't expect a great increase in income brought by the new services.The free services are enough for most users,Dong said."The company has been making attempts at different profit models since last year.A potential source of income could be gaming.Games and advertisements are so far the two biggest sources of income."she said.
Other micro-blogging service providers have not yet followed suit.Fang Gang,vice-president of rival Sohu,said via e-mail on Tuesday that Sohu's micro-blogging service will never charge users."It's good news for us.Users can come to our website if they have to pay for services (at Sina)."Fang said.

56.Most of Sina Weibo's usersB.
A.a(chǎn)ren't satisfied with its free version
B.show no interest in its paid services 
C.a(chǎn)re looking forward to new services
D.think highly of its new paid version
57.What's Dong Xu's attitude towards Sina Weibo's new services increasing income?A
A.Negative.
B.Confident.
C.Indifferent.
D.Positive.
58.Why did Fang Gang consider Sina Weibo's charging its users good news?C
A.Because Sina will make more money.
B.Because Sina will lose the whole Weibo market.
C.Because Sohu will attract more users.
D.Because Sohu will offer free services.
59.What can be inferred from the text?D
A.Most of Weibo websites will charge their users.
B.Sina Weibo's new move will be a great success.
C.Sina Weibo's users will enjoy more services.
D.A large number of Weibo users like playing games.
60.What can be the best title for the text?B

A.What does the Olympic Motto mean?
B.Research on individual styles improves performance.
C.Research holds the key to success.
D.Personalized programs will help.
E.New equipment has made a difference.
F.Is there a limit to record-breaking?
76.F
A world record is every athlete's dream,but the hard-won records of a few years ago are mostly just today's qualifying times.Roger Bannister's famous four-minute mile of 1956has been beaten by nearly 15seconds,while almost an hour and twenty minutes has been taken off the women's marathon since.1953.‘Faster,higher,stronger',is the Olympic motto,and today's competitors continue to push back the boundaries of what the body can achieve.But one wonders if this can continue.
77.E
The last forty years have seen many important technological advances.For example,since the introduction of strong flexible,fiberglass poles,over a meter has been added to the pole vault record.There have also been important developments in the design of the running shoe.And while a shoe won't actually make someone run faster,modern shoes do mean many more miles of comfortable,injury-free training.
78.C
Pushing back the limits now depends more on science,technology and medicine than anything else.Athletic technique,training programmes and diets are all being studied to find ways of taking a few more seconds off or adding a few more centimetres to that elusive world record.It seems that natural ability and hard work are no longer enough.
79.B
The research to find more efficient ways of moving goes on.Analysis of an athlete's style is particularly useful for events like jumping and throwing.Studies show that long jumpers need to concentrate not on the speed of approach,as once thought,but on the angle their bodies make with the ground as they take off.However,the rules governing each sport limit advances achieved by new styles.For instance only one-footed takeoffs are allowed in the high jump.
80.D
In the future,it should be possible to develop a more individual approach to training programmes.Athletes will keep detailed diaries and collect data to help predict the point when training becomes overtraining,the cause of many injuries.If athletes feed all their information into a database,it may then be possible to predict patterns and to advise them individually when they should cut.

18.It is one of the greatest mysteries of nature.In case you haven't noticed,all living things follow very definite,individual rhythms,all as regular as a clock,but what makes them regular?
    Though many scientists maintain that these rhythms are the result of some outside force like gravity or radiation or both,the results of most scientific researches agree with other scientists who believe that each living thing has its own built-in biological"time clock."
    Take the mystery of migration for example.Scientists can't really explain why many species of birds migrate in the autumn even though the temperature is still summery.The birds just seem to snub the comfortable weather that they are having.When a certain time comes,they travel south by the thousand.In spring time,they migrate northwards even though there probably is snow still covering the ground when they finally arrive.Something said"go,"and they did.
    Animals that hibernate (冬眠) are obeying individual time clocks,too.When their clock indicates the time to take a winter's nap,they do,and nothing can stop them.At a certain time in the spring,they wake up and come out regardless of the weather outside.
    Plants appear to have yearly rhythms,such as the sprouting of seeds,and they also have daily rhythms.Notice sometimes that plants raise their leaves in daylight and lower them at night.
    If you live along the California coast,you can easily observe a demonstration of this mysterious clock functioning regularly.There,from February to September,the highest tides occur exactly every fourteen and four-fifths days,and during these high tides,but at no other time,small silvery fish called grunions surf-ride a wave to the beach.There the female deposits her eggs in the sand and the male fertilizes them; then both hitch a wave-ride back to the sea.Exactly fourteen and four-fifths days later,never before or after,the tiny eggs hatch,and the high tide carries the new babies out to sea.

72.According to the passage,the mysterious rhythms result fromD.
   A.the influence of gravity on living species
   B.the effect of radiation on living species
   C.the influence of a mysterious outer force on living species
   D.the internal mechanism inside the living species
73.The underlined word"snub"in the third paragraph probably meansB.
   A.fight          B.ignore          C.symbolize         D.criticize
74.Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?D
   A.Hibernating animals are obeying an internal time clock.

19.When we think about happiness,we usually think of something extraordinary,a top great delight.
For a child,happiness has a magic quality.I remember playing police and robbers in the woods,getting a speaking part in the school play.Of course,kids also experience lows,but their delight at tops of pleasure is easily seen,such as winning a race or getting a new bike.
For teenagers,or people under 20the concept of happiness changes.Suddenly it's conditional on such things as excitement,love,and popularity.I can still feel the pain of not being invited to a party that almost everyone else was going to.I also recall the great happiness of being invited at another event to dance with a very handsome young man.
In adulthood the things that bring great joy-birth,love,marriage-also bring responsibility and the risk of loss.Love may not last; loved ones die.For adults,happiness is complex.
My dictionary explains"happy"as"lucky"or"fortunate",but I think a better explanation of happiness is"the ability to enjoy something".The more we can enjoy what we have,the happier we are.It's easy for us not to notice the pleasure we get from loving and being loved,the company of friends,the freedom to love where we please,and even good health.Nowadays,with so many choices and much pleasure,we have turned happiness into one more thing we have.We think we own the right to have it,which makes us extremely unhappy.So we try hard to get it and consider it to be the same as wealth and success,without noticing that the people who have those things aren't necessarily happier.
While happiness may be more complex for us,the answer is the same as ever.Happiness isn't about what happens to us.It's the ability to find a positive for every negative,and view a difficulty as a challenge.Don't be sad for what we don't have,but enjoy what we do possess.
