For centuries, magicians have used various ways to shock the audience. We all have seen how a 36 performer carefully steps 37 a bed of burning coals -- barefoot. Then he walks across 38 a single burn on his feet. Is it mind over matter, or is it just physics? As it turns __39 , walking on burning coals isn’t that hot as 40 . “The coals are hot enough to 41__ you, but if you walk quickly across them you 42 being burned.” says Jonathan Hall, a physician at Penn State University in Eric Pennsylvania.
That’s because some coals are made 43 burning wood chips. Wood has two 44__ properties(特性)for fire-walking, explains Hall. First, wood is an insulator(絕緣體)--it doesn’t __45 heat very well. “It 46 _ time for heat to travel 47 the wood to your feet.” Hall says. If the performer walked across red-hot metal 48 , that would truly be 49 , because metal conducts, or transmits, heat very well. The metal would 50 burn a performer’s feet.
Second, wood has a low specific heat-- it doesn’t take much heat to 51 its temperature. Heat is a form of 52 . Temperature is a 53 of heat, in units of degrees. So 54 the coals are hot, the value(數(shù)值)of heat energy they contain is low. Thus, a well-trained performer can 55 such an amazing result.
Still, you don’t want to walk on burning coals, do you?

【解析】
試題分析:【文章大意】本文是一篇說明文。文章講述了魔法師的表演者為什么能走過火紅的煤炭。原因有兩個:一、煤炭是由小木塊構(gòu)成的,木頭是熱的不良導(dǎo)體;二、煤炭的能量不足夠高,所以溫度不會太高。快速走過不受傷害是可能的。
1.A考查形容詞詞義辨析及語境理解。此處daring勇敢的; dare敢; rough粗糙的;fearful害怕的。我們都看見過一位勇敢的(daring)表演者小心地光著腳在燃燒的煤炭上走。
2.C考查介詞的用法。此處at在……點上;over跨越……之上;on在……上面; above在……上方。我們都看見過一位勇敢的表演者小心地光著腳在燃燒的煤炭上(on)走。
3.C考查介詞的用法。此處with擁有;within在……之內(nèi);without沒有; over在……之上。他走過燃燒的煤炭但他的腳上沒有(without)一點燙傷。
4.A考查副詞的用法。此處turn out意為:結(jié)果……。結(jié)果是,在燃燒的煤炭上行走沒有它被想象的那么熱。
5.B考查非謂語動詞的用法。此處相當(dāng)于walking on burning coals isn’t that hot as it is imagined. 結(jié)果是,在燃燒的煤炭上行走沒有它被想象的那么熱。故選B。
6.B考查動詞詞義辨析及語境理解。此處fire點火;burn燃燒;light點燃;flame火焰。煤炭熱的足以把你燒死(burn)。
7.D考查動詞詞義辨析。此處prevent阻止; keep保持;ignore忽視; avoid避免。如果你足夠快地走過,你就會不被燒著。
8.B考查介詞及短語的用法。 此處be made of意為:由……組成。那是因為煤炭是有燃燒的木塊構(gòu)成。木頭有兩個理想的特征能使人在上面走過。
9.A考查形容詞詞義辨析。此處ideal理想的;classic經(jīng)典的; favorite 最喜歡的;standard標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的。那是因為煤炭是有燃燒的木塊構(gòu)成。木頭有兩個理想的(ideal)特征能使人在上面走過。
10.A考查動詞詞義辨析。此處transmit傳導(dǎo);communicate交流; bring 帶來; send送遞。木頭是絕緣體,它不能很好地傳遞熱量。
11.B考查動詞詞義辨析。此處gathers聚集; takes花費時間; gains獲得;stands忍受。木頭需要時間把熱量從木頭傳到你的腳上。
12.A考查介詞的用法。此處through穿過; into進入;over跨越;pass通過。木頭需要時間把熱量從木頭傳到你的腳上。
13.B考查形容詞詞義辨析。此處unhappy不高興的;unharmed不受傷害的; unhealthy不健康的; unprepared無準(zhǔn)備的。如果表演者走過紅熱的金屬而不受傷害(unharmed),那是真正的魔力。因為金屬導(dǎo)熱快,金屬會很快地灼傷表演者的腳。
14.B考查形容詞詞義辨析。此處charming迷人的; magical有魔力的; tricky耍把戲的; fashionable時尚的。如果表演者走過紅熱的金屬而不受傷害,那是真正的魔力(magical)。因為金屬導(dǎo)熱快,金屬會很快地灼傷表演者的腳。
15.A考查副詞詞義辨析。此處instantly迅速地; constantly不斷地; frequently頻繁地;lately最近。如果表演者走過紅熱的金屬而不受傷害,那是真正的魔力。因為金屬導(dǎo)熱快,金屬會很快地(instantly)灼傷表演者的腳。
16.B考查動詞詞義辨析。此處produce產(chǎn)生; raise提升;提高; construct建設(shè);create創(chuàng)造。木頭擁有特殊的熱量,他不需要很多熱量提高(raise)溫度。
17.C考查名詞詞義辨析及常識。此處power權(quán)利,電力;source資源; energy能量; strength力量。熱量是能量的一種形式。溫度是熱量的衡量標(biāo)準(zhǔn)以度來計量。
18.A考查名詞詞義辨析及常識。此處measure量度;rank等級;estimate估計; rate比率。熱量是能量的一種形式。溫度是熱量的衡量標(biāo)準(zhǔn)以度來計量。
19.D考查狀語從句的連接詞。此處what if要是;however然而;as if 好像; even though即使。所以即使煤炭是熱的,但它含有的熱量也是低的。所以受過良好訓(xùn)練的表演者能實現(xiàn)令人驚訝的結(jié)果。
20.A考查動詞詞義辨析及語境理解。此處achieve實現(xiàn);arrive到達;draw畫;take拿,花費。所以即使煤炭是熱的,但它含有的熱量也是低的。所以受過良好訓(xùn)練的表演者能實現(xiàn)(achieve)令人驚訝的結(jié)果。

There are a few memories from our childhood that will stay with us forever. A few that seemed so 36 at the time may cause us to smile years later.
One such memory is a phone call I 37 when I was about three or four years old. My mother had entered a contest on a local 38 show. Entrants(參加者)were to tell an interesting story about their 39 . Winners would receive a phone call from Mrs. Santa Claus(女圣誕老人)! Mrs. Claus would award(獎勵) the lucky child free 40 of a local store.
Well, the call came. My mother talked to Mrs. Claus and then 41 the phone to me. I didn’t 42 the fact that many people were listening to our conversation. However, the fact that this lady had a 43 connection to Santa, that was important.
I didn’t know it yet, but my mother had 44 the attention of the contest judges by telling about the time I had 45 a wall with crayons(蠟筆). Even I knew that this was not the kind of 46 that Santa would approve.
Suddenly, in a very pleasant tone(語氣)of 47 , Mrs. Santa Claus asked me about my art work. I 48 that this lady was the real Mrs. Claus, not a radio station actress standing in for her.
I 49 down the phone and ran crying from the room. My crime(罪行)had not 50 unpunished. Santa would 51 know that I’d been bad!
It turned out that I did get a 52 present from the radio station and its sponsor(贊助商). And I guess Santa didn’t find out about the wall. Maybe he did and was in a 53 mood. In any case, my Christmas presents did not 54 a piece of coal(煤).
I wonder what Santa has in 55 for this year. Hopefully my wife hasn’t written Mrs. Claus any letters.

I recently heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a reporter who asked him 36 he thought he was able to be so much more 37 than the average person.
He 38 that it all came from a(n) 39 with his mother that occurred when he was about 2. He had been trying to remove milk from the fridge when he 40 the slippery(光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.
When his mother came in, 41 shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful 42 you have made! I have 43 seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been 44 . Would you like to get down and 45 in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"
Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to 46 everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海綿), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge.
His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a 47 experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two 48 hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can make it." The little boy learned that if he 49 the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful 50 !
This scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be 51 to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just 52 for learning something new, which is, 53 , what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment "doesn't 54 ," we usually learn something 55 from it.

It was 4 o’clock in the morning, when I received the phone call.
“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 1 in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We’ve called for a (n) 2 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.”
Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was 3 .
The doctor described the accident, which caused the burns. At 6 am, our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers. When they 4 the charcoal (木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed (噴灑) too much gasoline (petrol). The flames 5 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to his head.
6 , one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped my son, and rolled him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in 7 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars (傷疤). So, he had to return to college with scars.
When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very 8 scar on her arm. “Ann, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It doesn’t mean they won’t 9 it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”
I 10 this wisdom (智慧) on to my son. He took my advice to 11 and returned to school with his head held high — glad he was alive.
By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not matter, so he made the 12 to give up any plastic surgery (外科手術(shù)).
We all have “scars” that 13 people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.
But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same 14 standards(標(biāo)準(zhǔn)). Put your imperfections out of your 15 and concentrate (集中) on what you value within yourself, and your beauty will shine through.
