●思路开拓
实战类例
1.It was raining heavily.Little Mary felt cold,so she stood _____ to her mother.
A.close B.closely
C.closed D.closing
【解析】 本题考查副词的用法。由题意“正在下大雨，小玛丽感到有点冷，于是她向妈妈身边靠近。”可知C、D两项不对。close和closely都可作副词，但close强调空间距离近，常与介词to连用；而closely则指关系紧密、密切，也可表示注意力集中。如：Come close so that I can see you./He came quite close to where I was hiding./This problem is closely connected with that one.根据题意可知答案为A。
【答案】 A
2.The engine of the ship was out of order and the bad weather _____ the helplessness of the crew at sea.
A.added to B.resulted from
C.turned out D.made up
【解析】 本题考查短语动词的意义辨析。add to“增添，添加”；result from“起因于”；turn out“结果是，生产出”；make up“组成，编造，打扮”。由题意“轮船的发动机出了故障，而且天气很糟，这使船员们更加绝望了。”可知答案为A。
【答案】 A
3.Be careful when you cross this very busy street.If not,you may _____ run over by a car.
A.have B.get
C.become D.turn
【解析】 本题考查被动语态的表达形式。被动语态常由“be+过去分词”构成，但be常可换成get，如：I got caught for speeding.“我因超速而被抓住。”Some glasses got broken when we were moving.“我们搬家时，有些玻璃杯被打碎了。”Did you get invited to the party?“你被邀请参加舞会了吗？”由题意“你过这繁忙的街道时要当心。否则，你会被汽车撞着的。”可知答案为B。
【答案】 B
4.As I know,there is _____ car in this neighbourhood.
A.no such B.no a
C.not such D.no such a
【解析】 本题考查such的特殊用法。such作形容词时，后可接单数名词、不可数名词或复数名词；当接单数名词时，冠词a或an要置于such之后，如：such a question,such an interesting story。但no,any,some,all,many等则要放在such之前，如：No such person exists./They want beer,but don't give them any such thing-tea's good enough./He said “Get out!” or some such rude remark.由此可知答案A正确。B项中的no如改成not或把a去掉就正确了。因no such car等于not such a car，所以C、D两项也不对。
【答案】 A
5.Allen had to call a taxi because the box was _____ to carry all the way home.
A.much too heavy B.too much heavy
C.heavy too much D.too heavy much
【解析】 本题考查much too和too much的区别。much too用来修饰形容词或副词，亦可写作far too，如：That's much too expensive.“这太贵了。”The summer vacation passed much too quickly.“暑假过得太快了。”而too much则修饰不可数名词或动词，如：There is too much noise in the city.“城市噪音太大了。”You talk too much.“你话说得太多了。”too much亦可作主语或宾语，如：Too much has been said on this point.“在这点上说得够多了。”He gave you too much.“他给你的太多了。”由题意可知答案为A。
【答案】 A

听第10段独白，回答第18~20题。
Americans often use first names when they meet a stranger and do not always shake hands with each other. They often just smile and say “Hi” or “Hello” instead.
It's good to remember that to an American, such a “Hi” or “Hello” really means the same thing as a polite handshake. Americans do not usually give a handshake to each person when they have a party or business meeting. They will often just wave good-bye to all the people there, saying “Well, so long, everyone. I'll see you tomorrow.” They then leave without shaking hands.
18.What do the Americans do when they meet a stranger?

§6.3 阅读理解
A
Albert Einstein was probably the most famous scientist of the twentieth century.He changed scientific thinking in the modern world. He is generally considered as the greatest physicist who ever lived. What’s more, he devoted a lot of his time and energy to working for human rights and progress.
In 1933, while Einstein was visiting England and the United States, the Nazi government of Germany took all his things away, including his position and his citizenship. Einstein then settled down in the United States. In 1939, Einstein, who loved peace-afraid of a world in which only Hitler would had an atomic bomb(原子弹)-tried hard to persuade President Franklin D.Roosevelt in a famous letter to have the United States start uranium research. That Germany, after all, had no bomb, and that the first bomb would fall on Japan, could not have been expected. After the war, Einstein never stopped working for peace and reducing the number of soldiers in the world.
Although he wasn’t connected with any accepted religion(宗教),Einstein felt that trust in a personal God was too special an idea to be suitable to the God at work in this universe, but he never believed that the universe was one of chance or disorder. The universe to him was one of pure law and order.He once said,“God may know everything,but he is not hateful.”
1.From the passage we know that_____.
A.no scientist is as great as Albert Einstein during this century

D.not have moved to the U.S.A.

“That's funny!These fellows in the middle of the plate have died.”Dr Alexander Fleming was talking to another doctor in a laboratory in London.He had been studying some germs(细菌）that he was growing on a plate.They were very dangerous germs because they caused different kinds of illnesses that could kill people.Dr Fleming found that a mould(霉菌）had floated in through the window landing on the plate.It had killed some of the germs it had touched.
“This certainly looks promising,”Fleming said.“We must grow some of this mould to see if it will kill other germs.”
He named the strange mould“penicillin”.It proved to be a killer of many germs.Fifty mice were given deadly germs and then half of them were injected(注射）with penicillin.The twenty-five untreated mice died,but twenty-four of those lived that had been treated with penicillin.Dr Fleming wrote a report about what he had found out.Hardly anybody took any notice of it.
In 1938 Dr Howard Florey,an Australian working in London,read Dr Fleming's report and was very interested.He found that penicillin was effective in treating blood poisoning in human beings.When World War Ⅱ broke out,it was not possible to make enough penicillin in England.
Dr Florey went to America where he helped to have enormous amounts of this wonderful drug made.It saved the lives of thousands of soldiers,sailors and airmen who would have died from their wounds if the hospitals had not had penicillin.

Einstein,a great scientist of the age,was almost as strange as his Theory of Relativity.
Once,while riding a street car in Berlin,he told the conductor that he had not given him the right change.The conductor counted the change again and found it to be correct,so he handed it to Einstein,saying,“The trouble with you is that you don't know your figures.”
Einstein said that there were only twelve people living who understood his Theory of Relativity although a good many books had been written to explain it.
He had nothing but contempt(藐视）for the things most peopleset their hearts on-for fame and riches(财富）and luxury(奢华）.
He didn't want money or praise.He made his own happiness out of such simple things as his work and playing the violin and sailing his boat.Einstein's violin brought him more joy than anything else in life.He said that he often thought in music.

Louis Pasteur,the famous French chemist and bacteriologist,invented“pasteurization”.In 1854 Pasteur was made head of the department of science at the University of Lille,and it was there that he made one of his most famous discoveries.Lille was a major centre for wine and beer-making,and some of the local wine-makers asked Pasteur if he could help solve the problem of keeping wine fresh.At that time,it was believed that food and drinks go“bad”due to a purely chemical process(变化过程）.But during a series of experiments Pasteur proved that tiny living organisms(微生物）caused food and drinks to go bad.In the case of wine and beer the organisms are already present in the form of the various yeasts(酵母）that caused the fermentation(发酵）process.Pasteur discovered that heating the wine gently for a few minutes after it had fermented would kill off the yeast that was left in the wine,with the result that the wine would remain fresh for much longer.He also proved that food and drinks could be turned bad by other organisms that were present in the air,and that they too would keep fresh much longer if they were kept in airtight containers.
The heating process was so successful that it made Pasteur famous.It was named“pasteurization”in his honour,and by about 1900 it had been widely used for processing and bottling cows' milk.The result was a huge drop in the number of bottle-fed babies dying from infant diarrhea(婴儿腹泻）and from that time on it has been a standard treatment for milk and many other food products.This simple process has saved thousands,possibly millions,of lives worldwide.

In 1901,H.G. Wells,and English writer,wrote a book describing a trip to the moon.When the explorers(探险者)landed on the moon,they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities.They expressed their surprise to the“moon people”they met.In turn,the “moon people”expressed their surprise.“Why?”they asked,“are you travel ing to outer space when you don't even use your inner space?”
H.G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon.In 1969,human beings really did land on the moon.People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon.However,the question that the “moon people”asked is still an interesting one.A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.
Underground systems are already in place.Many cities have underground car parks.In some cities,such as Tokyo,Seoul and Montreal,there are large underground shopping areas.The“Chunnel”,a tunnel(隧道)connecting England and France,is now complete.
But what about underground cities?Japan's Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems,called“Alice Cities.”The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats,offices,shopping,and so on.A solar dome(太阳能穹顶)would cover the whole city.
Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth's space.The surface,they say,can be used for farms,parks,gardens,and wilderness.H.G. Wells'“moon people”would agree.Would you?
1.The explorers in H.G. Wells' story were surprised to find that the“moon people”_____.
A.knew so much about the earth

Kite
Probably the most famous kite in history was Benjamin Franklin's.In 1752 he flew a silk kite in a thunderstorm to prove that lightning and electricity are the same thing.
But kites have been used for many hundreds of years.Most experts believe kites originated in China about three thousand years ago.At first they were not used as a way to have fun on a breezy afternoon;the Chinese army used them as signals.A kite's color,its painted pattern,and the way it was flown could send messages far away.Kites were also used as beacons,to distribute pamphlets,and even to transport bombs.
Chinese soldiers tied bamboo shoots or stiff paper to their kites.When the kites soared overhead,the wind blowing through the bamboo or paper made a harsh whistling sound.The noise terrified the enemy,and they ran.
Just as today's kids imitate adults by playing with toy guns and toy airplanes,Chinese children quickly began flying kites.
Kites have been used through the centuries in religious ceremonies,at festivals,and as tools for studying weather.Kites contributed to people's knowledge as they began to build airplanes.
