Question

【題目】The twentieth century saw greater changes than any century before: changes for the better, changes for the worse; changes that brought a lot of benefits to human beings, changes that p【1】man in danger. Many things caused the changes, b【2】, in my opinion, the most important was the progress in science.

Scientific research in physics and biology has vastly broadened our views. It has given us a deeper k【3】 of the structure of matter and of the universe; it has brought us a better understanding of the nature of life a【4】 of its continuous development. Technology in the application of science has made big advances that have benefited us in n【5】 every part of life.

The continuation (持續(xù)) of such activities in the twenty-first century will result i【6】 even greater advantages to human beings: in pure science — a wider and deeper knowledge in all fields of learning; in applied science — a m【7】 reasonable sharing of material benefits, and better protection of the environment.

Sadly, however, there is another side to the picture. The creativity of science has b【8】 (employ) in doing damage to mankind. The application of science and technology to the development and production of weapons of mass destruction has created a real danger to the continued existence of the human race on this planet.

William Shakespeare said, “The web of our life is of a mingled yarn (紗線), good and ill together.” The above brief review of the application of only one part of human activities — science seems t【9】 ( prove ) what Shakespeare said. But does it have to be so? Must the ill always go together with the g【10】? Are we biologically programmed for war?

【解析】這篇文章主要講了科學(xué)技術(shù)的應(yīng)用給我們帶來了巨大的進(jìn)步，幾乎使我們生活的每一個(gè)部分都受益，但它是一把雙刃劍，帶來優(yōu)勢(shì)的同時(shí)，也帶來了一些弊端。

【1】考查動(dòng)詞。句意：把人類置于危險(xiǎn)中的改變。所以填put。

【2】考查連詞。句意：但是依我來看，最重要的就是科學(xué)的進(jìn)步。表示轉(zhuǎn)折，所以填but。

【3】考查固定用法。 a knowledge of是固定用法，意思是某一方面的知識(shí)，所以填knowledge。

【4】考查連詞。句意：它讓我們對(duì)生命的本質(zhì)和它的持續(xù)發(fā)展有了更好的理解。表示并列關(guān)系，所以填and。

【5】考查副詞。句意：科學(xué)技術(shù)的應(yīng)用給我們帶來了巨大的進(jìn)步，幾乎使我們生活的每一個(gè)部分都受益，所以填nearly。

【6】考查固定用法。句意：21世紀(jì)這些活動(dòng)的持續(xù)，將會(huì)對(duì)人類更有益。result in是固定用法，意思是導(dǎo)致，所以填in。

【7】考查比較級(jí)。句意：更合理的物質(zhì)利益分享。所以填more。

【8】考查語態(tài)。這里是現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)的被動(dòng)語態(tài)，所以填been employed。

【9】考查固定句型。 Seem to do是固定句型，意思是好像，所以填to prove。

【10】考查名詞。根據(jù)William Shakespeare said, “The web of our life is of a mingled yarn (紗線), good and ill together.” 可知這里填good。
