【題目】閱讀下面材料，在空白處填入適當(dāng)?shù)膬?nèi)容（1個單詞）或括號內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。

The British have many traditions but there is nothing more typical than taking afternoon tea. We know the Brits have a love affair with drinking tea, with more than 160 million cups 【1】 (drink) every day, but it was the invention of afternoon tea that turned tea-drink into 【2】 popular pastime.

This sociable feast involves drinking good quality tea 【3】 (comfort) while nibbling (小口吃) on nice sandwiches, scones with jam and cream and a selection of small cakes. And, of course, it can only happen in the afternoon! Afternoon tea, which 【4】 (design) as a light snack to bridge the gap between lunch and dinner, dates back to the 1840s. It went on to become a 【5】 (fashion) social occasion for the upper classes.

Now there is a resurgence (復(fù)蘇) in its 【6】 (popular) in the UK and it is available to anyone who can afford it. 【7】 it can be enjoyed at home, the best way to experience it is at a smart hotel or café. But if you’re thinking of visiting such a place 【8】 (enjoy) afternoon tea, remember the rules you must follow to avoid 【9】 (ask) to leave.

Writer Henry James once noted that “there are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony 【10】 (know) as afternoon tea.” I’m sure once you have tried it, you will agree.

【答案】

【1】drunk

【2】a

【3】comfortably

【4】was designed

【5】fashionable

【6】popularity

【7】Although/Though/While

【8】to enjoy

【9】being asked

【10】known

【解析】

試題分析：文章介紹了英國傳統(tǒng)的下午茶及最近的發(fā)展趨勢。

【1】drunk.考查過去分詞。句中160 million cups和動詞drink是被動關(guān)系，用過去分詞表被動，指“下午茶被喝”，故填drunk。

【2】a.考查冠詞。句中pastime是可數(shù)名詞，此處指從喝茶變成了一種時尚消遣，表示“一種”，故填a。

【3】comfortably.考查副詞。此處修飾動詞drinking用副詞，表示“舒服地喝茶”，故填comfortably。

【4】was designed.考查時態(tài)和語態(tài)。句中Afternoon tea和動詞design是被動關(guān)系，指當(dāng)時被設(shè)計的原因，用一般過去時的被動。故填was designed。

【5】fashionable.考查形容詞。此處修飾名詞詞組social occasion用形容詞，指“時尚的社交場合”。故填fashionable。

【6】popularity.考查名詞。此處由its修飾，指“它的普及”，用名詞。故填popularity。

【7】Although/Though/While.考查連詞。句意：盡管可以在家享受下午茶，但最好的方式是在巧妙的旅館或咖啡廳體驗。根據(jù)句意填Although /Though/ While。

【8】to enjoy.考查不定式。此處是不定式表目的，指去那種地方的目的是享受下午茶，故填to enjoy。

【9】being asked.考查動詞形式。avoid后加動詞的-ing形式，此處you和ask是被動關(guān)系，指避免被要求離開，故填being asked。

【10】known.考查過去分詞。句中ceremony和動詞know是被動關(guān)系，指這種儀式叫下午茶。故填known。

【題目】Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day’s event, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isn’t accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?

When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I automatically took out my pen….

At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.

Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful. I’m no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.

I don’t want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I won’t have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I’ll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I don’t live to make memories—I just live, and the memories form. themselves.

【題目】See a cellphone cover that you like on Taobao? Forget about placing an order, paying the bill online and waiting for days for it to be delivered to you. In the near future, you'll be able to get it in minutes just by hitting “print” on your computer. You might find it hard to believe that you could actually “print” an object like you would draw a picture. But it is not that hard to understand how it would work. Just as a traditional printer sprays ink onto paper line by line, modern 3D printers spread material onto a surface layer by layer, from the bottom to the top, gradually building up a shape.

Instead of ink, the materials the 3D printer uses are mainly plastic, resin(樹脂) and certain metals. The thinner each layer is—from a millimetre to less than the width of a hair—the smoother and finer the object will be. This may sound like a completely new technology, but the truth is that 3D printing has been around since the late 1980s. Back then, it was barely affordable for most people, so few knew about it.

Last year, though, saw a big change in the 3D printing industry—printers became much cheaper. For example, 10 years ago a desktop 3D printer might have cost ￡20,000, while now they cost only about ￡1,000, according to the BBC. Taken out of the factory and introduced to more diverse and common uses, 3D printing can create just about anything you can think of—flutes, bikinis, jewelry, aircraft parts and even human organs. In fact, scientists from Cornell University in New York have just made an artificial ear using a 3D printer, according to Science Daily. The fake ear looks and acts exactly like a natural one.

However, as 3D printing becomes more common, it may bring about certain problems—such as piracy. “Once you can download a coffee maker, or print out a new set of kitchen utensils (餐具) on your personal 3D printer, who will visit a retail store again？” an expert in 3D printing told Forbes News. Even more frightening, what if anyone in the world could use a 3D printer to print out a fully functioning gun?

【1】According to the article, in the future, the 3D printing technology will _______.

A. enable people to make better purchases online

B. change the way we make many products

C. be applied as widely in our daily life as computers

D. shorten the time it takes for people to get what they buy online

【2】What happened in the 3D printing industry last year?

A. The 3D printing technology was taken out of the factory.

B. The 3D printing technology began to be used in various fields.

C. The 3D printer was used for medical treatment for the first time.

D. The 3D printer became more affordable for consumers(消費(fèi)者).

【3】What is the best title of the passage?

A. Great Demand for 3D Printers

B. Technology in the Future

C. Online Shopping Disappearing

D. Printing out Everything

【4】How is the last paragraph developed?

A. By giving examples.

B. By making comparisons.

C. By analyzing the cause and effect.

D. By using figures.

【題目】DOGS DRIVE CAR

Auckland, New Zealand

After two months of learning, Monty, and Porter were able to drive an automobile around a racetrack. “We wanted to prove how smart rescue dogs are,”animal behaviorist Mark Vette says. Vette first used voice commands and treats to teach the dogs how to turn a steering wheel and how to change gear (換擋).

The dogs’ ride only accelerated up to 7.5 miles an hour, and trainers could stop the auto using a remote control.

GOLDEN ZEBRA

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

Zoe the zebra’s markings are special. The animal has white and golden stripes. Zoe’s appearance resulted from a rare condition called amelanosis (黑素缺失癥). Her body doesn’t make enough melanin, the substance in an animal’s skin and hair cells that produces color. “Only 25 other golden zebras are known to exist in the world,” says Ann Goody, who runs the wildlife refuge where Zoe lives. In the wild, life may be difficult for animals with amelanosis because predators (捕獵者) can easily spot them. But Zoe is protected at her refuge.

COCKATOO MAKES TOOLS

Vienna, Austria

When Figaro the cockatoo spots food lying just out of reach from his cage, he builds a tiny wooden tool to sweep the tasty prize in his way.

The bird first revealed his talent when a stone he was playing with rolled out of his cage. The cockatoo couldn’t reach the stone. So he flew away and returned with a small branch, slipping it through the fence to slide the stone toward him.

Wondering if he would do it again, scientists placed a nut exactly where the stone had been. This time, Figaro pulled out a small piece of wood in his cage and dragged the nut toward him.

【1】If Zoe the zebra is set free in the wild, she will ________.

A. meet no natural predators

B. not get along with other zebras

C. manage to make enough melanin

D. be easily found for her appearance

【2】What’s special about Figaro the cockatoo?

A. He is particular about his food.

B. He is extremely fond of stones.

C. He is good at drawing support from outside forces.

D. He can tell the difference between stones and nuts.

【3】What is the text mainly about?

A. Amazing animals.

B. Ways to help animals.

C. Animals’ unique talents.

D. Tips on training animals.
