【解析】本文主要講述了在交通擁堵的城市,政府為了減緩交通壓力和保證民眾的安全,修建了許多的立交橋。

本題考查學生對語法知識的運用能力以及對整個文章的理解。

1考查定語從句。句意:大城市的很多地方能發(fā)現(xiàn)立交橋,特別是在交通擁擠,過馬路很危險的地方。先行詞是 places,定語從句不缺成分,此處需要填入表示地點的關系副詞 where.故正確答案為 where。

2考查動詞。句意:這些立交橋的目的是為了確保行人安全過馬路。本句的主語是 The purpose 為第三人稱單數(shù),所以使用 is。故正確答案為 is。

3考查副詞。句意:這些立交橋的目的是為了確保行人安全過馬路。填空處前謂語動詞為 cross,填空處用來修飾 cross,意為"安全地過馬路",故使用副詞形式來修飾動詞故正確答案為 safely。

4考查形容詞結合句意,上文提到 Overhead bridges are used in very much 意為"立過街天橋經(jīng)常被使用",下文提及 way as zebra crossings 意為"和斑馬線的方式",兩種方式都是用來安全地過馬路,所以兩種方式是一樣的(same)。故正確答案為 same。

5考查比較級。上文提及 more efficient 使用了肯定語氣的比較級,再結合下文 people have to climb up a long flight of steps 意為"人們必須要爬很長一段樓梯",所以可以推測此處為較不方便,否定形式的比較級故正確答案為 less。

6考查形容詞本句的主語This 代指上一句的"爬很多的樓梯",結合下文的 especially to older people 意為"尤其對于老人",可知,爬很多的樓梯對于老人來說十分的不方便(inconvenient)。故正確答案為 inconvenient。

7考查非謂語動詞。結合上文 This is why the government has built many overhead bridges 以及下文 pedestrians 可知,政府建造很多過街天橋的原因是來幫助行人,表示目的使用非謂語動詞中的不定式。故正確答案為 to help。

8考查動詞。句意為了安全,應該鼓勵行人使用天橋,而不是冒著生命危險沖過馬路。填空處前方為詞組 instead of,of 作為介詞后面連接的動詞要變成動名詞的形式故正確答案為 risking。

9考查賓語補足語。make 作為本句謂語動詞,填空處后有 a habit to use them,可以推測 a habit to use them 是賓語補足語進一步解釋填空處的賓語,to use them 為真正賓語,填空處應該填入形式賓語 it。故正確答案為 it。

10考查名詞填空處后有介詞 of,of 后接名詞 life 意為"生活",給出的詞為 lose 是動詞形式,應該選擇 lose 的名詞的形式來和 life 構成所屬關系,即"生活的損失",lose 的名詞形式為 loss。故正確答案為 loss。

During a research experiment a marine(海洋) biologist placed a shark into a large holding tank and then released several small fish into the tank. 【1】_______

The marine biologist then inserted a strong piece of clear fiberglass(玻璃纖維)into the tank, creating two separate parts. She then put the shark on one side of the fiberglass and a new set of small fish on the other.

This experiment was repeated several dozen times over the next few weeks. 3】_____ Eventually the shark got tired of hitting the fiberglass divider and simply stopped attacking altogether.

The marine biologist then removed the fiberglass divider, but the shark didn’t attack. 【4】_____ So, they swam wherever they wished, free from harm.

Like the shark in the story, many of us, after experiencing setbacks and failures, emotionally give up and stop trying. 【5】____ In other words, we continue to see a barrier in our heads, even when no ‘real’ barrier exists between where we are and where we want to go.

【題目】This is a photo of a similar car I own. It’s a photo of a Skoda Fabia, I drive one too. A young guy also got out of a similar car as I was getting close to mine. I laughed and was prepared to leave. The young guy continued to have a conversation with me.

He asked me how I found the car. It turned out that it was his first day to drive the car and it was new and it was a gift from his parents and he’d just passed his driving test today! What a coincidence (巧合)!

Well, this was a special moment for Nicholas. Who gets a new car the day they learn to drive and then drives into a garage and has a talk with a woman who’s driving the same model of car? Yes, beautiful synchronicity (同步性) in full view.

Nicholas was not an overconfident guy. He also told me his mum was only out of hospital and now he’d be able to help her get about.

I’ll order myself another Guardian Angel key ring for my car for fear that my Guardian Angel will not be protecting me without the key ring. As for Nicholas, well, I wish he and his passengers a lifetime of safe driving.

【題目】Spider monkeys have long, thin arms with hook-like hands that allow them to swing through the trees. They do not have opposable thumbs (對生拇指).

The brown-headed spider monkey has a prehensile (纏繞性的) tail, which means it can grasp and can be used like a fifth leg to grab trees. During the day, the spider monkey searches for fruits, which make up the main part of its diet. They will also eat flowers, seeds,leaves, and small insects during the dry season when fruits aren’t available. They spend most of the daylight hours climbing and swinging through the high branches of trees.

The brown-headed spider monkey lives in a large community of about 20 to 100 male and female monkeys. They split into smaller groups for feeding. Females usually give birth to only a single baby each year or two. Young monkeys are carried on their mothers’ stomachs until about 16 weeks old. Then they are strong enough to ride on their mothers, backs. All brown-headed spider monkey babies are born with pink faces and ears.

Spider monkeys hug each other and wrap their tails around each other. They are very intelligent and have strong memories. They were named spider monkeys because they look like spiders as they hang upside down from their tails with their arms and legs swinging. Their genus () name is Ateles, which means “imperfect”. This refers to the fact that they don’t have thumbs.

Hunting the brown-headed spider monkey is now barred in Ecuador, a country in northwestern South America, but humans have killed them for their meat for hundreds of years.

1Spider monkeys live mostly on .

A. insects B. fruits

C. flowers D. leaves

【題目】Green building refers to both a structure and the using of processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle. Green buildings can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, factories, and offices.

Green building means “reducing the effect of the building on the land”, Taryn Holowka of the U. S. Green Building Council (評議會)in Washington, D, C, said. According to Holowka, building accounts for 65 percent of total US, electricity use.

But green buildings can reduce energy and water use- Also, the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of gas and give off pollution. Green buildings are often built on developed land, so that the buildings don’t destroy forests.

Marty Dettling is project manager for a building that puts these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country's first green high-rise building. According to Dettling, “We’ve reduced our energy use by one-third and our water by 50 percent.”

The Solaire cuts energy in part by using solar power. “On the face of the building we have solar panels which change the sun's energy into electricity,” Dettling explained.

The Solaire also has lights that automatically turn off when people leave the room. In addition, the building has lots of windows, allowing people to use the sun for light during the day. The Solaire cuts water by reusing it.

Not everyone is eager to move into a green building, however. Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources. Anyhow, Holowka said, “It’s going to be big.”

1A green building is often built on an area of land ________.

A. where traveling around by car is most convenient

B. which has thick forests around

C. where people of high income live

D. which has already been for buildings

2A green building means ________.

A. a building that uses no electricity

B. a green-colored building

C. a building occupying less land

D. a building that saves energy and water

3When Holowka says in the last paragraph, “It’s going to be big”, she means that green buildings ________.

A. will be more comfortable

B. will be more environmentally friendly

C. will become popular in future

D. will take the place of traditional buildings

【題目】Robots make me nervous—especially the ones which seem to think for themselves. I was embarrassed to admit this till I heard that Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, felt the same way.

Gates said in an interview with the social networking and news website Reddit: “I am in the camp that is concerned about super intelligence. First the machines will do a lot of jobs for us and not be super intelligent.That should be positive if we manage well. A few decades after that though the intelligence is strong enough to be a concern.”

Well, maybe I don’t have to worry about my computer and kitchen equipment yet. After I use them I can always pull the plug. But in the future, machines might find a way to prevent us from switching them off. There’s a terrible thought!

Maybe the problem with computers too clever for us is not that they are evil like some we’ve seen in sci-fi movies. What could put us in danger is that they might be too efficient. That’s what philosopher Nick Bostrom from Oxford University believes. He says that machines are indifferent (漠然) to humans and in pursuit of their own goals,the destruction of people might be just additional damage. Bostrom gives us an example: A machine which might have as its only goal to produce as many paperclips as possible might look at human bodies as extra material for paperclips and go after you. Because it is, well, a machine, it would not take pity on you.

It’s a good thing that American writer Isaac Asimov thought about how far robots can go and left us his three rules of robotics. They state that a robot may not hurt a human being or allow the human being to come to harm.

I’m glad my machines at home are “dumb”. All my cleaner wants to take over is the carpet in my living room. Let’s hope they don’t create an appliance which wants to take over the world!

【1】The author quoted Bill Gates’ words in Paragraph 2 in order to make the text ________.

A. better-knownB. more persuasive

C. better-organizedD. more interesting

2】An intelligent paperclip machine would harm us because ________.

A. it is much cleverer than us

B. it would take over the world

C. it would see us just as material

D. it has the strong feeling of destroying us

3】How does the author feel about Isaac Asimov’s rules of robotics?

A. OptimisticB. SympathyC. DisappointedD. Regretful

4】What does the text mainly focus on?

A. The benefits of future robots.

B. The new applications of robots.

C. The concern for super intelligence.

D. The popularity of robots in the future.
