【題目】閱讀下面短文,在空白處填入1個適當?shù)膯卧~或括號內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。
Many people living in cities see riding a bicycle as good exercise. But, a recent medical 【1】 research warned that cyclists should think twice before cycling in the streets: it actually does more harm than good 【2】 their bodies.
Is cycling in cities really bad for your health? Probably yes. The main danger comes from the air around you. Breathing 【3】 in air pollution from taxis and buses can damage blood vessels(血管).Scientists say the damage could outweigh the health benefits of cycling.
David Newby, a British 【4】 researcher at Edinburgh University broke the news. In his tests, 15 healthy men cycled 【5】 on exercise bikes in a room with levels of air pollution similar to those found 【6】 on a crowded city street. After an hour of cycling, the scientists found their blood vessels became less flexible and produced less of a protein(蛋白質)【7】 the heart needs. The damage leads to the early stages of heart disease. What's worse, the faster a cyclist pedals (蹬車),【8】 more air they breathe in. So those who believe 【9】 they are improving their fitness the most are storing up the biggest trouble for themselves 【10】.
【答案】
【1】medicine
【2】to
【3】breathe
【4】Britain
【5】cycle
【6】find
【7】that/which
【8】the
【9】believe
【10】they
【解析】
本文是一篇說明文。文中介紹了愛丁堡大學的一名研究人員David Newby發(fā)布的消息:在大街上騎行對身體有害!
【1】考查形容詞。句意:但是近期的一項醫(yī)學研究警告騎行者到大街上騎行之前要三思。此處為形容詞修飾名詞,medical醫(yī)學的。故填medical。
【2】考查介詞。句意:這對他們的健康造成的危害要遠遠大于好處。此處考查固定短語do good to對...有益處。故填to。
【3】考查動名詞做主語。句意:呼吸來自于出租車和公交車的污染氣體對血管會造成破壞。分析句子可知本句缺乏主語,故應用動詞的ing形式做主語。故填 breathing。
【4】考查形容詞。句意:愛丁堡大學的一名研究人員David Newby發(fā)布了這個消息。此處為形容詞修飾名詞,British英國的。故填British。
【5】考查一般過去時。句意:在他的測試中,15名健康的男性在充滿類似于擁擠的大街上發(fā)現(xiàn)的污染氣體的實驗室中騎行。這項測試已經(jīng)結束,因此應用一般過去時。故填 cycled。
【6】考查過去分詞作定語。句意:在他的測試中,15名健康的男性在充滿類似于擁擠的大街上發(fā)現(xiàn)的污染氣體的實驗室中騎行。此處air與find構成動賓關系,故應用過去分詞形式作定語,表“被動”。故填found。
【7】考查定語從句。句意:他們的血管變得不那么有彈性,并且一種心臟所需要的蛋白質的數(shù)量也減少了。根據(jù)句意可知此處為定語從句修飾先行詞a protein,且從句中缺主語,因此應用which/that。故填that/which。
【8】考查冠詞。句意:騎行者蹬車越快,吸入的氣體越多。本句考查固定句式:the +比較級,the +比較級,越...., 就越。故填the。
【9】考查一般現(xiàn)在時。句意:因此,那些相信他們正在改善身體健康狀況的人其實正在為他們自己貯存最大的麻煩。本句講述現(xiàn)在的狀況,因此應用一般現(xiàn)在時。故填believe。
【10】考查代詞。句意:因此,那些相信他們正在改善身體健康狀況的人其實正在為他們自己貯存最大的麻煩。根據(jù)句意可知應用反身代詞。故填themselves。

【題目】閱讀下面短文,根據(jù)所給情節(jié)進行續(xù)寫,使之構成一個完整的故事。
I worked from the time when I was four and raised seven children, all of them college graduates. It seemed I’d done everything I’d ever wanted to do in my life, but I had one regret. I was born in 1898, the oldest of five kids. Papa couldn’t spare me to go to school, so I worked in the fields with him till I was 21 years old.
Everywhere I went, I learned some hard lessons about what happens to a man who even can’t read the alphabet. People cheat you out of wages. They sell you a ticket to one city, take your money and hand you a ticket to somewhere else.
By 1928, I’d been wandering for nine years. I met a woman named Elzenia. We fell in love, married and moved to Dallas, where I got work fixing roads for the city. When Amelia, the oldest of our seven children, first went to school, I took my wife aside. “Elzenia,” I said. “I don’t want the kids to know I can’t read or write.”
In 1938, one day my boss called me in. “George,” he said. “No one knows those machines like you do. I’d like to promote you.” But my thrill and surprise were cut short when he said, “Fill out this application and we’ll get you a raise.” I couldn’t admit the truth. I thanked him and walked out of his office. I did stay right where I was, until I turned 65 and my boss made me retire. But I didn’t stop working. For the next 25 years, I lived a happy life, but it still seemed to me like something was missing.
A young fellow handed me a piece of paper. It’s information about adult education classes. People can learn to read and write. Now I’m 98. I thought of my friends and neighbours and what they might think if they found out I couldn’t read. After all these years, my secret would be out. But all my life I’ve wanted to read. It was high time for action.
注意:1.所續(xù)寫短文的詞數(shù)應為150左右;
2.應使用5個以上短文中標有下劃線的關鍵詞語;
3.續(xù)寫部分分為兩段,每段的開頭語已為你寫好;

【題目】 Even as a bush fire threatened the rural Australian community, Gary Wilson and his partner Julie Willis decided not to flee their wooden house.
The two had a home full of baby kangaroos to protect. More than 10 of the baby kangaroos — called joeys — stayed safe inside fabric pouches (育兒袋) that hung in the couple's living room. Each piece of cloth looked like the opening in which mother kangaroos carry their young. Wilson and Willis have taken care of wild animals before. Recently, full-grown kangaroos and other wildlife that had left their care long ago came back to the house in search of protection as the fires grew nearer. 'We had too many animals in the house and around the house so we really couldn't go, ' Wilson said. 'We decided we were going to stay and fight. ' Their home is now surrounded by burned land and vehicles.
Wilson and Willis defended their home with fire extinguishers (滅火器) and water pumps. Their house also had a special device on top that sprayed water on hot ashes falling on the roof.
Good preparation and good luck helped the building stay safe. And the animals have survived. But the fire killed two of Wilson's neighbors. 'It was a horrible thing. ' Wilson said.
Willis said, 'It's not until after the fires when it really hits you how close you were to dying... '
While Wilson and Willis usually care for joeys that are rescued after their mothers are struck by vehicles, they are now welcoming an increasing number of fire orphans.
She said, 'We didn't have children ourselves; this is what we spend our time doing. We think it's worthy — a worthy cause — looking after our babies no matter what they are... '
【1】We can learn from the passage that ______ .
A.Wilson and Willis took care of kangaroos only
B.Wilson and Willis decided to leave their wooden house
C.Wilson and Willis made pouches for baby kangaroos
D.Wilson and Willis had to look after their own babies
【2】The underlined phrase 'fire orphans' refer to ______.
A.firefighters who come to help them
B.special devices which help put out the fire
C.baby animals whose mothers get killed in the fire
D.neighbors whose houses are burnt in the fire
【3】Where is the text probably from?
A.A news report.B.A journal.
C.A textbook.D.A guidebook.

A newly discovered tea plant is caffeine-free
The world loves tea and some 3m tons of tea are consumed every year. Tea can be good for health, as it contains compounds that help to lower cholesterol(膽固醇)and reduce the risk of heart disease. But there is a downside. Tea contains caffeine which, 【1】 it improves mental alertness, can also cause anxiety, insomnia and other problems.
【2】 would be agreeable is that a tea plant that provides all the taste and goodness but with little or 【3】 of the caffeine has been found. Liang Chen and Ji-Qiang Jin of the Tea Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences have discovered just such a plant 【4】(grow) wild in a remote area in Fujian province, southern China. 【5】 they report in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, not only is the tea plant naturally caffeine-free but it also contains a number of unique medicinal compounds that, the locals believe, offer considerable health benefits.
【6】(know) locally as Hongyacha, the newly discovered plant grows only between 700 and 1,000 metres 【7】 sea level around a handful of Chinese villages.
Now the researchers 【8】(explore) methods to protect Hongyacha in its natural habitat while further studies are carried out. It can take time – and sometimes it does not work – for new plant varieties 【9】(breed) for commercial use. A pair of naturally caffeine-free coffee plants were discovered in 2003, but little progress 【10】(report) Tea enthusiasts will be watching Hongyacha with interest. And others will wonder what else is out there.
