【題目】So far all cloned animals have suffered from some different serious disorders, ________ dying soon after birth.
A. many of them B. many of whom
C. many of which D. many of that
【答案】A
【解析】考查現(xiàn)在分詞的獨立主格結(jié)構(gòu)。句意:但目前為止,所有克隆動物都患有不同的嚴重疾病,它們中很多出生后不久就死去。獨立主格結(jié)構(gòu)不是句子,是短語,但是它的作用相當于句子。many of them dying soon after birth=" and" many of them are dying soon after birth.本句題干中缺少連詞,說明后面不是句子,排除B/C. that指代單數(shù)名詞,而這里的them指代的all cloned animals,應(yīng)該使用復數(shù)形式。故選A。

【題目】Yesterday night, over a dinner with my elder brother’s family, a topic of happiness came up. My wife, Marla, a psychologist, was sharing Csikszentmihalyi’s concept of “flow” with us. Marla explained that according to the research on flow, people are happiest when they are absorbed in a task that is just challenging enough for them to experience a sense of mastery(熟練).
A few moments later my brother, Yuri, offered the following opinion: “The first and only, necessary and sufficient factor for happiness is to stop associating happiness with pleasure. The two — happiness and pleasure — have nothing to do with each other.” This morning, with my cup of coffee, I searched through a pile of books on my bedside table and—at the bottom—found a book by Bertrand Russell, I started reading but didn’t finish. In it, I found the following thought:
“The human animal, like others, is adapted to a certain amount of struggle for life, and when by means of great wealth homo sapiens can gratify all his whims (突發(fā)奇想) without effort, the mere absence of effort from his life removes an essential ingredient of happiness.”
The conversation came full circle: people are happiest when they are in a state of flow (Csikszentmihalyi’s language )…which is the effortful devotion in a moment…which has nothing to do with pleasure.
Indeed, as Yuri insisted : happiness–as–pleasure is a myth; the association between happiness and pleasure is nothing but a semantic(語義的) habit; psychologically, the two—happiness and pleasure—are arguably different; and breaking up this association between pleasure and happiness might, in fact, be a powerfully first step in pursuit of happiness.
As I look back on that exchange, I recall that there was an effort, a struggle to find a common understanding about this seemingly difficult idea—a struggle that made me happy.
【1】The author wrote this text mainly to ________.
A. look back on the happy night
B. advise readers to read Bertrand Russell
C. tell readers how to be happiest
D. show different opinions on family gathering
【2】According to Marla, people feel happiest when they ________.
A. get what they want without effort
B. master the happiness around them
C. involve themselves in a challenging task
D. experience things that can bring pleasure
【3】What writing style is used by the author to explain happiness?
A. Giving examples. B. Using quotes.
C. Making comparisons. D. Offering arguments.
【4】The best title of the text may probably be ________.
A. The struggle for life B. Happiness as pleasure
C. A topic over the dinner D. The effort for happiness

【題目】閱讀理解
For nearly a century before there was such a thing as a space program, a view of space was possible. People could see full views of the Moon, explore Mars(探測火星),and study the outer space beauty. All of this was made possible by a small group of artist-astronomers(天文藝術(shù)家) who worked to show people how other worlds in space might look.
Lucien Rudaux, a French artist, was the first to use his artistic ability and his knowledge of astronomy in art. His paintings show a mixture of skilled observations, brilliant imagination and careful attention. As a result, many of his works have come surprisingly close to actual conditions on distant planets. His painting of Mars included moonlike craters(火山口) that were first photographed by the astronauts in 1965. His 1930 painting of a dust storm looks remarkably like a photograph of a storm taken by the astronauts in 1976.
The artist-astronomers, including Rudaux, made people interested in outer space by painting what turned out to be exact portraits of the planets.
(1)The passage tells us ________.
A.the surprising exactness of space artists
B.the popular success of Lucien Rudaux
C.the imaginations of great artists
D.the likeness between the Moon and Mars
(2)According to the passage, artist-astronomers spent their lives ________.
A.exploring the planets

【題目】We are naturally drawn to friends and colleagues with familiar voices, scientists have found. People prefer those who have a similar accent, intonation and tone of voice to themselves, they discovered.
Previous research has focused on how male or female a voice sounds. Men with deeper voices and women with slightly higher voices were thought to sound more attractive, because they suggest a bigger or a smaller body.
But the new study, published by a linguistics expert in Canada, suggests there is a more complex mechanism (機制) at play. Dr Molly Babel, from the University of British Columbia in Canada, said, “The voice is an amazingly flexible tool that we use to construct our identity. Very few things in our voices are changeless, so we felt that our preferences had to be about more than a person’s shape and size.”
She recorded 30 volunteers’ voices and asked each to rate the others’ attractiveness on a range from one to nine. Each participant was from western America, with similar accents. The people we assessed were all in the same dialect group, but they showed that dialect to different degrees.
“We seem to like people who sound like we sound, and we like people who fit within what we know,” Dr Babel said. She also found that breathy voices in women—typified by the famous American actress Marilyn Monroe-were seen as more attractive.
The breathy tone, caused by younger and thinner vocal cords (聲帶), implied youthfulness and health. A creaky (咯吱作響的) voice, suggesting a person has a cold, is tired or smokes, was seen as unattractive. The participants preferred men who spoke with a shorter average word length and deeper voices.
【1】The main purpose of the text is to .
A. compare male voices with female voices
B. inform readers of the new findings of voices
C. argue against women’s voices of speaking
D. encourage men to use deeper voices to speak
【2】Dr Molly Babel mentions Marilyn Monroe in order to .
A. explain a breathy voice
B. introduce a creaky voice
C. challenge previous research
D. promote her reputation
【3】In terms of voice preferences, the new findings stress .
A. body size and shape
B. shorter word length
C. thicker vocal cords
D. the same social groups
【4】Whose voice may be unattractive according to the text?
A. A young lady with a thin voice.
B. An old lady with a silvery voice.
C. A deep-voiced man with a dry throat.
D. A little man with a quiet and gentle voice.
