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

As the population grows and temperatures rise, 【1】 will become more difficult to grow enough food for everyone. 2 (luck), scientists are now exploring the planet for plants that do not need as much water as todays crops. The Mojave Desert in the U.S is home 3 some of these plants.

Scientist Heather Rose Kates of the University of Florida is in that desert. She is not collecting the coyote melon(瓜), which she describes as terrible.

Coyote melon may not taste good, but it can 4 (grow) in places that have little rainfall by farmers. The desert 5 it grows gets just 15 to 20 centimeters of rain per year, or less. Other kinds of melons need at 6 (little )two and a half centimeters per week to grow.

Now scientists 7 (consider) combining coyote melon with other melons to see if they can make a tasty vegetable that doesnt need as much water to grow. That could be useful on a planet 8 (become) warmer and more crowded every day.

Rose Kates says farmers will need 9 (produce) 50 to 70 percent more food by 2050 to feed the world. So, he says, 【10 ( research)are studying the wild versions of farm-grown crops.

【答案】

【1】it

【2】Luckily

【3】to

【4】be grown

【5】where

【6】least

【7】are considering

【8】becoming

【9】to produce

【10】researchers

【解析】

文章大意隨著人口的增長和全球氣溫的升高,為人類提供足夠的糧食變得越來越困難。但幸運(yùn)地是科學(xué)家們在研究培育一些新的不需要太多水的農(nóng)作物,而且取得了一定的進(jìn)展。

【1】it 考查人稱代詞。從結(jié)構(gòu)可知句子主語是不定式短語, it作形式主語,填it。

【2】Luckily 考查副詞。修飾整個(gè)句子應(yīng)該用副詞形式,位于句首,首字母要大寫,填Luckily。

【3】to 固定短語:be home to ……的家、故鄉(xiāng)、棲息地,填to。

【4】be grown 考查被動(dòng)語態(tài)。根據(jù)句意可知是被動(dòng)關(guān)系,含有情態(tài)動(dòng)詞的被動(dòng)形式為:情態(tài)動(dòng)詞+be +done,故填be grown。

【5】where 考查定語從句。定語從句是主謂結(jié)構(gòu),缺少關(guān)系副詞,先行詞為地點(diǎn)名詞,故填where。

【6】least 考查形容詞。固定短語:at least至少,填least。

【7】are considering 考查動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)。根據(jù)now判斷用現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí),表示目前科學(xué)家們正在做的事情,填are considering。

【8】becoming 考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。從結(jié)構(gòu)判斷此處是非謂語動(dòng)詞短語作定語,become和被修飾名詞planet之間存在主動(dòng)關(guān)系,用現(xiàn)在分詞,填becoming。

【9】to produce 考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。固定搭配:need to do sth需要做某事,填to produce。

【10】researchers 考查名詞。根據(jù)主謂一致的原則可知此處是復(fù)數(shù)名詞,填researchers。

【題目】I learn to fly in a balloon in a race across the Atlantic Ocean in 1992 and became extremely interested in the sport. In the same way that a mountain climber dreams of climbing the world's highest mountain,I dreamed about flying non-stop around the world.

I spent six years planning the flight and failed twice before I and my team managed to succeed. For some reason,we had to go first to North Africa to catch the right winds. That added 10 ,000 kilometers,and another week,to our journey. But because of this,our flight broke all the records for distance and time spent in the air.

The most memorable part of the trip for me is that we lived in the air for 20 days and that the rising sun was the most amazing thing we saw. We had to go out of the balloon’s capsule , in which we were transported,three times while in the air to repair the fuel system. We didn’t have any safety equipment but when you are in a situation like that,you just do what you have to do without thinking about feeling afraid.

Landing was a fantastic moment. I remember that when I got out of the capsule,I looked at my footprint in the sand. I remembered the astronaut Neil Armstrong,who was so happy to put his footprint on the moon,so far away from Earth. At that moment, I was so happy to have my foot back on Earth!

1The author became interested in ballooning because of .

A. a cross-ocean race

B. a mountain climb

C. a childhood dream

D. a long sea journey

2What can be inferred from Paragraph 2 about the author and his team's flight?

A. They set a new record.

B. They shortened their flight.

C. Their flight went very smoothly.

D. Their flight covered 10,000 kilometers.

3Why did the balloonists get out of the capsule during the flight?

A. To fight their fear.

B. To do some repair work.

C. To admire the rising sun.

D. To check safety equipment.

4The author mentioned Neil Armstrong to show his .

A. regret

B. surprise

C. respect

D. pleasure

【題目】Attacking school fears

There are real fears and imagined ones. Most school dangers are imagined. 1 Many students have learned to fear teachers and classrooms, textbooks and tests. So first let’s determine what the fears are, and then attack them in a good problem-solving way.

Fear of failure

Most students have plenty of ability to meet school demands. Most assignments and courses are within reason, more likely to be boring than difficult. 2 Once you have had a few successes, you will begin to overcome this fear.

Fear of teachers

This is clearly an unreal fear. Look around at your fellow students. Some of them will be teachers. As you can see, there is nothing special about them. 3 You can get to know them better out of class. Visit them and chat with them.

Fear of talking in class

Anyone can make a mistake, but an hour later people will not even remember a mistake was made. 4 Also keep in mind that your performance in class is almost never the main part of your grade.

5

This fear can help you watch for real danger. The future can be dangerous. But to let it keep you from trying new things would be to give up life. Your own experience shows that most of the time things work out all right. The more things you try out, the more you will feel at home.

A. Fear of starting out

B. Fear of potential danger

C. Rarely is it lack of ability that makes people fail.

D. This is because they are much more concerned with themselves.

E. So don’t hand over power to teachers that they don’t really have.

F. However, school institutions have made most people think otherwise.

G. Often something else is the real problem, not what you first identified.
