    第三篇

    No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world,but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million.The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.
    In the United Kingdom,about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people.As we get older,many of us will become less mobile,hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.
    Disablement can take many forms and happen at any time of life.Some people are born with disabilities.Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases.The longer time goes on,the worse they become.Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have disability in the form of a mental illness.All are affected by people's attitude towards them.
    Disabled people face many physical barriers.Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends,imagine what would you do if you could not get up steps,or on to buses and trains?What would you do if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic?But there are other barriers:prejudice(偏见)can be even harder to break down and ignorance represents by far the greatest barrier of all.It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully understand what the disabled go through,so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability,not their disability,which counts.

    The key word in Paragraph 4 is__________.
    A:barriers
    B:disabled
    C:disability
    D:prejudice

    答案:A
    解析:
    第一段第一句是该段的主题句。" No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world , but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million.”说明残疾人数量很多。
    第四段第一句和第四句是该段主题句。" Disabled people face many physical barriers."',But there are other barriers:prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance represents by far the greatest barrier of all.”该段从实际困难和精神歧视两方面说明残疾人面临的障碍。
    文章最后一句:"...it is the individual person and their ability, not their disa-bility ,which counts.”大意是“······真正重要的是残疾人的独立人格及其能力,而不是其身体上的残疾。”
    选项A、C都出现在第二段中。B是文章所呼吁的。文章最后一段说 "prejudice(偏见)can be even harder to break down and ignorance represents by far the greatest barrier of all"。残疾人所面临的障碍除了身体残疾外,还有人们的偏见和被人们忽视。所以选项D与原文不相符。
    主旨题。文章首先叙述残疾人之多和各种残疾,进而从身体和精神两方面阐述残疾人面临的障碍,并指出精神方面的障碍是最难被打破的。因此,可以推论出作者告诫我们应该正确对待残疾人。

    Are Online Friends Real Friends? Modern computer technology has made a new kind of human relationship possible:online friendship. ______(46)Are online friendships as beneficial as face-to-face friendships?What are the acfvantages nd disadvantages of having virtual friends?Can people form strong bonds online?Today these questions are he subject of lively debate. Some people believe that the Internet is the best way to make new friends.It's convenient,it's fast, nd it allows to make contact with different kinds of people from all over the world.When you use social etworking websites and chat rooms,you can easily find people with interests and hobbies similar to yours. nformation updates and photos add to the experience.Making friends on the Internet is especially good for hy people who feel uncomfortable in social situations.It's often easier to share thoughts and feelings nline.______(47)They can make people feel less lonely and help them solve problems. Although the Internet can encourage friendship,it has a major disadvantage.______(48)Online riends only tell you what they want you to know.They sometimes exaggerate their good qualities and hide he less positive ones,so you can't be sure of what they really like.That is why you should not give ersonal information to anyone online unless you're totally sure of who that person is. Can online friendships be as meaningful as face-to-face ones?There are different points of view. esearchers at the University of Southern California surveyed 2,000 households in the United States.The re- ults showed that more than 40 percent of participants feel"as strongly about their online buddies"as they o about their"offline"friends.______(49)In contrast,there are many people who believe that it's ot possible to have deep relationships with online friends.A young Indian software engineer,Lalitha Lakshmipathy,says,"It's good to feel connected with many people,but all my e一buddies are not necessarily my close friends."______(50)They'say that it's hard to develop feelings of trust and connection when you don't share experiences in person. Peonle continue to express different opinions about online friendship.However,most of them Tou1d agree that virtual friendships must not replace face-to-face friendships.As one life coach says,"A social networking site should only be the‘add on’in any relationship."

    ______(46)
    A:Online friends,or virtual friends,are people who have become acquainted with each other through the Internet.
    B:In addition,virtual friends can offer emotional support.
    C:Many people would agree.
    D:Researchers also found that it's not unusual for online friends to become face-to-face friends.
    E:Online friends may be of help in many ways.
    F:When you're not face to face,it's much easier to deceive people.

    答案:A
    解析:
    前面一句话讲到,现代计算机技术给人类带来了一种新型的人际关系,即网友。后面一句话提出问题,网友是否能像现实中的朋友一样提供帮助?从所给的这些句子来看,只有A项(网友,或称虚拟朋友,是指通过网络认识的人)是与此连贯的。故选A。
    前面一句话讲到,在网络上分享思想和情感也更容易。后面一句话说,虚拟的朋友能够减少人们的孤独感,帮助他们解决问题。从所给的这些句子来看,只有B项(此外,网络虚拟朋友可以给人们以情感支持)是与此连贯的。故选B。
    前面一句话讲到,网络虽然可以增进友谊,但它有一个最大的缺陷。后面一句话说,网络朋友只告诉你他们想让你知道的信息。从所给的这些句子来看,只有F项(由于没有面对面地接触,人们很容易受骗)是与此连贯的。故选F。
    前面一句话讲到,调查结果显示,超过40%的受访者认为“网上的友谊”同“线下的友谊”一样牢固。后面一句话说,与此相对的是,许多人认为与网友发展深厚的友谊不太可能。此处应该是前面一句话的解释,并与后面一句形成对比。从所给的这些句子来看,只有D项(调查还显示,网友变为现实中的朋友也是比较常见的)是与此连贯的。故选D。

    51._________
    A:. him
    B: her
    C: them
    D: he

    答案:C
    解析:
    根据上下文的意思,失去(losing)的应该是fingerprints。 Fingerprints是复数形式,指代它的代词是them。其他三个代词都不合适。


    前面两个句子说,失去指纹是一大问题。本句说,要举出一个实例以说明失去指纹会造成极大的困扰。所以只有选项D最合适。


    第二段描述了实例的细节。第一句说病人用一种药名为卡培他滨的杭癌药治疗他的鼻咽癌。所以treat是必然的选择。cut(切割) ,find(寻找)和smooth(弄平)都与上下文接不上。


    从上下文判断,"After three years on the...(经过三年的……)”后面应该接“用药”、“治疗”等字眼,所以选drug是正确的。选recovery(康复),diet(节食)或diagnosis(诊断)都与后面提到的病人进入美国受阻的事件接不上。


    for表示时间上“达到”,for 4 hours意为“长达四小时”。


    美国海关因为采集不到那位癌症患者的指纹样本,于是盘问了他4小时。所以本句提到的swirly应该与marks搭配,意思是“漩涡状指纹标记”。


    为了防止恐怖分子和罪犯进入美国,美国海关通过电脑对外国入境者进行指纹采样,然后与指纹库进行比照。根据常理,海关要检查每一位外国人的指纹。采样的手指是食指。后面的screened(比照)是解题的重要线索,引导读者选A,即printed。这里 printed = finger printed(采集指纹样本)。其他三个选项,即located(找出)、cured(治疗)和placed(放置),都与上下文的意思接不上。


    实例中的新加坡人用了杭癌药后的一个副作用是指纹消失,这是一种不良反应。所以,选good, main, normal(正常的)都不符合上下文的意思,只有side才是答案。 side effect意为“副作用”。


    前面句子提及的服用杭癌药是因,本段最后一句是果,连接词应该用Hence。而 However表示转折关系,Moreover和Furthermore表示“进一步”的关系,与上文连接不上。


    本段表达的意思是:由于癌症病人服用了卡培他滨后指纹何时开始消失还不清楚,所以主治医生要提前为病人开具指纹可能会消失的证明单。to take place(发生)之前填上like ,decide或have都与上下文的意思接不上,唯有begin最合适。


    参阅上一题的题解。本题四个选项中的英语单词的前三个字母都是pre-,只要知道prescribe的词义是“开处方”,就会选D。


    第五段的意思是,那位病人已经拿到医生开具的指纹消失证明单,现在他们出门旅行不会不带上它。本题without是答案。


    哪一个政府机构许可(approved)使用该类杭癌药?就是本段第一句提到的the Food and Drug Administration。四个选项中,只有关系代词which能指代the Food and Drug Administration,它是approved动作的发出者。


    最后一段表达的意思是:过去该药列出的不良反应只包括呕吐等,没有列出指纹消失这一副作用,现在应该补上这一条。所以,updating(更新)是答案。


    最后一段最后一句中,为了强调no where,将它移到句首,这时,原句的“it does not mention the potential for loss of fingerprints”就要写成强调句形式的“no where does it mention the potential for loss of fingerprints"。所以,答案是B。

    问答题
    With computers, people can now shop, bank, work and communicate from the home. The danger is that people could become isolated from each other and lose social skills which help them to get along with others. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? Write a composition of about 400 words to discuss this topic.

    正确答案:
    In this computer-oriented era, people can do practically everything while still at home. They can do their shopping online, pay bills online, chat online and even work online. In the light of this phenomenon, many fear that this way of tackling things might lead to social isolation, and further to the loss of men's ability to co-exist with one another in society. Personally, however, I don't agree with this view, and it is my firm belief that not only will the Internet bring the world closer together, it will enable men to co-exist better—in the cyberspace, a worldwide community.
    First, unsurprisingly, computers and modems have transformed the world into a global village. Messages are sent instantly around the world via the Internet; a bargain is made between a gentleman in Russia and a lady in Argentina; and students studying abroad send voice mails to their loved ones at home, again by using the computer. Indeed, in this fast-paced world, it is impossible to conduct every social contact in a face-to-face manner. Therefore, it is only too natural that efficient online communication is partly taking the place of the time-consuming personal encounter. And why not? This online way of life has helped people on this planet to communicate better, and the fear that people could become isolated from each other in the virtual world is groundless.
    At the same time, even if the Internet ensures better social communication, actual social contact is still necessary: Not all business can be handled online, and perfect good will can not be achieved while the parties concerned are far apart. As a matter of fact, the Internet has made people realize the need for contact in actual social settings. Furthermore, communication in the cyberspace and that in the actual world can be complementary to each other-- each shining more brilliantly in the other's company. Sometimes it is fast and efficient to communicate online, while at other times people find it better to communicate in the actual world. Given this, people's ability to co-exist with one another has actually been enhanced, I would say, in this IT era.
    In conclusion, the computer and the Internet have brought human relations closer than ever before. To better adapt to this high-tech world, one should master the basic skills of the computer, for one' own sake as well as for the sake of a better and happier co-existence with others.
    解析:
    范文第一段开始提到了人们利用计算机的现状以及对此的忧虑,接着是作者的观点,认为计算机不仅不会疏远人们,还会拉近世界人们的距离。第二、三段是对论点的详细论证。最后一段总结全文,重申观点。

    第三篇

    No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world,but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million.The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.
    In the United Kingdom,about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people.As we get older,many of us will become less mobile,hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.
    Disablement can take many forms and happen at any time of life.Some people are born with disabilities.Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases.The longer time goes on,the worse they become.Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have disability in the form of a mental illness.All are affected by people's attitude towards them.
    Disabled people face many physical barriers.Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends,imagine what would you do if you could not get up steps,or on to buses and trains?What would you do if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic?But there are other barriers:prejudice(偏见)can be even harder to break down and ignorance represents by far the greatest barrier of all.It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully understand what the disabled go through,so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability,not their disability,which counts.

    It can be concluded from the passage that______.
    A:we should try our best to prevent disablement
    B:we must take a proper attitude towards the disabled
    C:the able-bodied people will never fully understand the disabled
    D:both physical and mental barriers are hard to break down

    答案:B
    解析:
    第一段第一句是该段的主题句。" No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world , but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million.”说明残疾人数量很多。
    第四段第一句和第四句是该段主题句。" Disabled people face many physical barriers."',But there are other barriers:prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance represents by far the greatest barrier of all.”该段从实际困难和精神歧视两方面说明残疾人面临的障碍。
    文章最后一句:"...it is the individual person and their ability, not their disa-bility ,which counts.”大意是“······真正重要的是残疾人的独立人格及其能力,而不是其身体上的残疾。”
    选项A、C都出现在第二段中。B是文章所呼吁的。文章最后一段说 "prejudice(偏见)can be even harder to break down and ignorance represents by far the greatest barrier of all"。残疾人所面临的障碍除了身体残疾外,还有人们的偏见和被人们忽视。所以选项D与原文不相符。
    主旨题。文章首先叙述残疾人之多和各种残疾,进而从身体和精神两方面阐述残疾人面临的障碍,并指出精神方面的障碍是最难被打破的。因此,可以推论出作者告诫我们应该正确对待残疾人。

    One useful anti-cancer drug can effectively erase the whorls(箩状指纹)and other characteristic marks that give people their distinctive fingerprints.Losing_________(51)could become troublesome. A case released online in a letter by Annals of Oncology(《肿瘤学年报》)indicates how big a_________(52)of losing fingerprints is.
    Eng-Huat Tan,a Singapore-based medical doctor describes a 62-year old man who has used capecitabine(卡培他滨,一种化疗药物)to _________( 53 ) his nasopharyngeal(鼻炎的)cancer.
    After three years on the_________(54),the patient decided to visit U.S.relatives last December. But he was stopped by U.S. customs officials__________(55)4 hours after entering the country when those officials couldn't get fingerprints from the man. There were no distinctive swirly(旋涡状的)_________(56)appearing from his index finger.

    "It is uncertain when fingerprint loss will__________(60)to take place in patients who are taking capecitabine,"Tan points out. So he cautions any physicians who________(61)the drug to provide their patients with a doctor's note pointing out that their medicine may cause fingerprints to disappear.
    Eventually,the Singapore traveler made it into the United States.I guess the name on his passport didn't raise any red flags.But he is also now got the explanatory doctor's note一and won't leave home _________(62)it.
    By the way,maybe the Food and Drug Administration,__________(63)approved use of the drug 11 years ago,should consider_________(64)its list of side effects associated with this medicine.The current list does note that patients may experience vomiting,stomach pain and some other side effects.But no where________(65)it mention the potential for loss of fingerprints.

    _________(51)
    A:he
    B:them
    C:her
    D:him

    答案:B
    解析:
    根据上下文的意思,失去(losing)的应该是fingerprints。 fingerprints是复数形式,指代它的代词是them。其他三个代词都不合适。
    空格所在句大意是,要用一个实例说明失去指纹是一个大问题。所以只有选项D最合适。
    第二段描述了实例的细节。第一句说病人用一种药名为卡培他滨的抗癌药治疗他的鼻咽癌。所以treat是必然的选择。cut“切割” ,find“寻找”和smooth“弄平”都与上下文接不上。
    从上下文判断,"After three years on the...(经过三年的······)”的后面应该接“用药”、“治疗”等字眼,所以选drug是正确的。选项recovery“康复”,diet'‘节食”或diagrosis“诊断”都与后面提到的病人进入美国受阻的事件不相符。
    for表示时间上“达到”,for 4 hours意为“长达四个小时”。
    美国海关因为采集不到那位癌症患者的指纹样本,于是盘问了他四个小时。所以本句提到的swirly应该与marks搭配,意思是“旋涡状指纹标记”。
    为了防止恐怖分子和罪犯进入美国,美国海关通过电脑对入境者进行指纹采样,然后与指纹库进行比照。根据常理,海关要检查每一位入境者的指纹。采样的手指是食指。后面的screened是解题的重要线索,引导读者选A,即printed。这里printed = finger-printed“采集指纹样本”。其他三个选项located“找出”,cured“治疗”和placed“放置”都与上下文的意思接不上。
    实例中的新加坡人用了抗癌药后的一个副作用是指纹消失,这是一种不良反应。所以,good, main, normal都不符合上下文的意思,只有side才是答案。side effect意为“副作用”。
    前面句子提及的服杭癌药是因,本段最后一句是果,连接词应该用 Hence。 However表示转折关系,Moreover和Furthermore表示“进一步”的关系,与上文连接不上。
    本段表达的意思是:由于癌症病人服用卡培他滨后指纹何时开始消失还-不清楚,所以主治医生要提前为病人开具指纹可能会消失的证明单。like, decide或have都与上下文的意思不符,只有begin最合适。
    参阅上一题的题解。本题四个选项词的前三个字母都是pre,只要知道prescribe的词义是“开处方”就会选D。
    第五段的意思是:“那位新加坡游客最后终于进入了美国。我猜想他护照上的名字没有带有任何危险信号。但是他同样要带有医师开的证明单——并且要随身携带。”本题without是答案。
    哪一个政府机构许可(approved)使用该类抗癌药?就是本段第一句提到的the Food and Drug Administration。四个选项中,只有关系代词which能指代the Food and Drug Administration,它是approved这一动作的发出者。
    最后一段表达的意思是:过去该药列出的不良反应只包括呕吐等,没有列出指纹消失这一副作用,现在应该补上这一条。所以,updating“更新”是答案。
    最后一段最后一句中,为了强调no where而将其前移,这时,句子要用部分倒装的形式。所以,答案是B。

    The Case of the Disappearing Fingerprints
    One useful anti-cancer drug can effectively erase the whorls and other characteristic marks that give people their distinctive fingerprints. Losing______(51)could become troublesome. A case released online in a letter by Annals of Oncology indicates how big a______(52)of losing fingerprints is.

After three years on the______(54),the patient decided to visit U.S. relatives last December.

    56._________
    A:. digits
    B: marks
    C: images
    D: pictures

    答案:B
    解析:
    根据上下文的意思,失去(losing)的应该是fingerprints。 Fingerprints是复数形式,指代它的代词是them。其他三个代词都不合适。


    前面两个句子说,失去指纹是一大问题。本句说,要举出一个实例以说明失去指纹会造成极大的困扰。所以只有选项D最合适。


    第二段描述了实例的细节。第一句说病人用一种药名为卡培他滨的杭癌药治疗他的鼻咽癌。所以treat是必然的选择。cut(切割) ,find(寻找)和smooth(弄平)都与上下文接不上。


    从上下文判断,"After three years on the...(经过三年的……)”后面应该接“用药”、“治疗”等字眼,所以选drug是正确的。选recovery(康复),diet(节食)或diagnosis(诊断)都与后面提到的病人进入美国受阻的事件接不上。


    for表示时间上“达到”,for 4 hours意为“长达四小时”。


    美国海关因为采集不到那位癌症患者的指纹样本,于是盘问了他4小时。所以本句提到的swirly应该与marks搭配,意思是“漩涡状指纹标记”。


    为了防止恐怖分子和罪犯进入美国,美国海关通过电脑对外国入境者进行指纹采样,然后与指纹库进行比照。根据常理,海关要检查每一位外国人的指纹。采样的手指是食指。后面的screened(比照)是解题的重要线索,引导读者选A,即printed。这里 printed = finger printed(采集指纹样本)。其他三个选项,即located(找出)、cured(治疗)和placed(放置),都与上下文的意思接不上。


    实例中的新加坡人用了杭癌药后的一个副作用是指纹消失,这是一种不良反应。所以,选good, main, normal(正常的)都不符合上下文的意思,只有side才是答案。 side effect意为“副作用”。


    前面句子提及的服用杭癌药是因,本段最后一句是果,连接词应该用Hence。而 However表示转折关系,Moreover和Furthermore表示“进一步”的关系,与上文连接不上。


    本段表达的意思是:由于癌症病人服用了卡培他滨后指纹何时开始消失还不清楚,所以主治医生要提前为病人开具指纹可能会消失的证明单。to take place(发生)之前填上like ,decide或have都与上下文的意思接不上,唯有begin最合适。


    参阅上一题的题解。本题四个选项中的英语单词的前三个字母都是pre-,只要知道prescribe的词义是“开处方”,就会选D。


    第五段的意思是,那位病人已经拿到医生开具的指纹消失证明单,现在他们出门旅行不会不带上它。本题without是答案。


    哪一个政府机构许可(approved)使用该类杭癌药?就是本段第一句提到的the Food and Drug Administration。四个选项中,只有关系代词which能指代the Food and Drug Administration,它是approved动作的发出者。


    最后一段表达的意思是:过去该药列出的不良反应只包括呕吐等,没有列出指纹消失这一副作用,现在应该补上这一条。所以,updating(更新)是答案。


    最后一段最后一句中,为了强调no where,将它移到句首,这时,原句的“it does not mention the potential for loss of fingerprints”就要写成强调句形式的“no where does it mention the potential for loss of fingerprints"。所以,答案是B。

    55._________
    A:do
    B:make
    C:set
    D:give

    答案:B
    解析:
    根据上下文,可以判断出此处应该是“近期的”或“最新的”。recent意思是“最近的,近来的”,符合句意。late晚的,迟的;contemporary当代的;new新的。
    根据上下文,此处所填的一个名词是socialenvironment的一个补充,用来表示社会环境的某种变化。improvement意思是“改进,改善”,符合句意。increas。上升,增加;progres。进步;growth生长,增长。显然,社会环境不会“增长”或“进步”,只会“改善”。
    根据上下文,可以推断出此处表达的是“找出答案,解决问题”,workout符合句意:workfor为……工作;workin在……工作;workoff(通过消耗体力)宣泄感情,工作以偿债。
    learnfrom意思是“向某人学习”,符合句意。gatherfrom从……收集,搜集;understand不与from搭配;gainfrom从……中受益。
    makechanges意思是“做出改变”,符合句意。
    根据句子结构来看,这里缺少的是一个名词或能充当名词的词,helping作为名词时指"(进餐时的)一份食物,一客食物”,作为动名词时指“帮助,促进”,不合语境,所以排除D。A、B、C项的三个词都可以表示“部分,要素,成分”,但是ingredient通常用来表示原料、成分;com-ponent表示文章、学术观点或者电子产品中的部分或组件;portion表示数量上的一部分。此处是指饮食、食物中的原料、成分,故选A。
    beneficial意思是“有利的,有益的”,侧重对健康、身心或事业有益,符合句意。helpful有帮助的,有益的;supportive支持的,支援的;advantageous有利的,有益的,多指能直接导致相对优势或有助于达到目的的事。
    此处是一个动名词与to搭配的结构,用来表达“引起,导致,促成”的意思。contributeto意思是“促成,为……出力”,符合句意。help和cause若要填在此处,则空后的to得去掉;result与in搭配。
    前半句的although已经体现了转折关系,因此排除however;而根据前后的语义与语境,并无因果、递进或进一步加深的关系,因此也不用therefore和。ten;所以最佳答案为actually,虽然长寿是一件值得庆祝的事情,但它实际上也是一个社会问题。
    根据上下文可以判断,这里讲的老年人口肯定是增长的。所以首先排除reduce和de-crease;add表示“增加”时通常用作及物动词。结合日本的实际,此处应选double,指老年人口数量翻倍。
    该句意思是:这个国家即将______经济危机。faceaproblem为固定搭配,通常表达面对、面临什么问题。
    这里考查的是look和一些介词的搭配。lookafter意思是“照顾,照料”,符合句意。lookfor寻找;lookover检查(某事物);lookout小心,注意。
    这里表达的是退休年龄从65岁到70岁这样的一个调整,所以填人的词应该表达上调的意思。选项中只有rise和raise能表达上升的意思,而rise通常用作不及物动词,所以选raise,表示人为地上调。
    sense意思是“(对重大事情的)感觉、意识”,asenseofresponsibility表示“责任感”。
    playrolesin是固定搭配,意思是“在……中起作用”,符合句意。

    A Minor Microsurgery Last year,Sean Martinovich,from Whitianga,had life-saving surgery when a golf-sized tumor was removed from his brain stem.But the operation left half his face paralysed.He talked with a slur,sometimes dribbled(流 口水)out of the side of his mouth and could not close his eye properly.Although he could run around with the other boys in the playground,when they laughed he could not laugh with them.Without a smile,he could suffer psychologically and emotionally. Last week,6-year-old Sean had seven hours of microsurgery that should give him back his smile.Doctor Bartlett removed a nerve from the back of one of Sean's legs and transplanted it into his face.On the normal side of his face the nerve divides into lots of little branches."We'll cut those nerve branches and then we'll take a nerve graft from one leg and tunnel it across his face from one side to the other and join that on to the nerve that' s been cut on the good side of his face."Doctor Bartlett said before the operation."If this was not fixed he conld face physical and emotional problems as he got older,"Doctor Bartlett said."Socially people can become quite withdrawn because of the face paralysis.It's easy for people,especially children,to become rather emotionless because they prefer the flatness of no movement on either side to the weirdness of an asymmetry of smiling on one side and having this twisted face." Sean is not smiling yet.Over the next six months the nerves will grow across the face to the damaged side and after that movement will hopefully come back.Sean's parents,Steve and Wendy Martinovich,said they had been through a year of hell.But their son was a determined boy who just got on with it,said Mrs Martinovich.They are amazed at the technology that they hope will restore the cheeky smile they love so much.For Doctor Bartlett the microsurgery is almost routine.For Sean's parents,it is a miracle.

    Why?
    A:Because he may not want others to see the weirdness of an asymmetry of smiling on one side,sohe will choose to withdraw.
    B:Because other children will be scared to see his face.
    C:Because he will be through time of hell.
    D:Because other children will refuse to talk or play with him.

    答案:A
    解析:
    第一段第一句表明,Sean是在去年做的手术;第二段第一句表明,上周Sean的年龄为6岁。所以去年手术时、Sean的年龄应为5岁。
    第一段第三句表明,Sean谈吐不清,有时会流口水,还不能正常地闭眼睛;第一段最后一句说明他不能微笑。综合这些可推知," paralysed"、的意思为“瘫痪的”,也就是失去了感觉和对肌肉的控制。
    根据第二段第四句引用的Bartlett医生的话语可知,移植到Sean脸上的神经来自于他的腿上。
    由第二段最后两句引用Bartlett医生的话语可知,由于面部瘫痪,人们会变得很内向。特别是孩子,宁愿与面无表情的人接触,也会远离只有半边脸微笑的不对称表情。由此推测,Sean可能为了避免让别人发现他那不对称的微笑而采取躲避的方法,这会引起一系列生理问题和心理问题。
    第三段倒数第二句说明,对于Bartlett医生来说,微创手术是“routine"(日常工作),可见微创手术对Bartlett医生来说是一件很容易的事。

    _________(54)
    A:diet
    B:exercise

    答案:D
    解析:
    根据下文内容,这里应该是“一个被《肿瘤学年报》在网上公布的信件”。release“公 布”;suggest“建议”;accept“接受”;detect“探测”。因此选A。
    根据下文内容,这里应该是“失去指纹会带来多大麻烦”,因此选A。
    本句意思是“一位新加坡籍的医学博士描述了一位用卡培他滨治疗鼻咽癌的62岁老 人的经历”。因此选B。
    diet“饮食”;exercise“锻炼”;recovery“康复”;drug“药品”,最符合题意。本句意思是 “经过这个药物三年的治疗后······”。因此选D。
    本句意思是“他被美国海关人员扣留了四小时之久。”介词for在这里指“持续······时 间”。因此选B。
    distinctive“独特的”,最符合题意,指人手指上特有的漩涡状的指纹。
    side effect意为“副作用”。
    however“但是”,表示转折;meanwhile“同时”;hence“因此”,后面可以直接跟名词而独 立成句;yet“仍然,还”。因此选C。
    短文一直在讲“指纹消失”这个话题,故应选C。
    report“报告”;discourage“使气馁”;caution“警告”,最符合题意;praise“赞美”。
    note“票据,单子”,最符合题意。
    本句意思是“但是他同样要有医师开的证明单——并且要随身携带”。因此只能选C, without。
    本句需要选一个关系代词引导非限定性定语从句,并作定语从句的主语,因此只能选 C,which。
    collect“收集”;copy“模仿”;associate“联系”,最符合题意;test“测验”。本句意思是“应 该考虑更新与该药物有关的副作用清单”。
    本句是状语no where提前构成的部分倒装句,助动词does应放在主语前。
