　　The government of Norway is planning to build an unusual storage center on an island in the Arctic Ocean. The place would be large enough to hold about two million seeds. The goal is to represent all crops known to scientists. The British magazine New Scientist published of the plan last month. The structure will be designed to protect the world's food supply against nuclear war, climate change and other possible threats.

　　It will be built in a mountain on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen. The mountain is less than one thousand kilometers from the North Pole, the northernmost position on Earth.

　　An international group called the Global Crop Diversity Trust is working on the project. The director of the group, Carp Fowler, spoke to New Scientist.

　　He said the project would let the world rebuild agriculture if, in his words, “the worst came to the worst.” Norway is expected to start work next year.

　　The project is expected to cost three million dollars.

　　Workers will drill deep in the side of a sandstone mountain. Temperatures in the area never rise above zero degrees Celsius.

　　The seeds will be protected behind concrete walls a meter thick and high­security doors.

　　The magazine report says the collection will represent the products of ten thousand years of farming. Most of the seeds at first will come from collections at seed banks in Africa, Asia and Latin America. To last a long time, seeds need to be kept in very low temperatures. Workers will not be present all the time. But they plan to replace the air inside the storage space each winter.

　　Winter temperatures on the island are about eighteen degrees below zero Celsius. The cold weather would protect the seeds even if the air could not be replaced.

　　Mr. Fowler says the proposed structure will be the world's most secure gene bank. He says the plant seeds would only be used when all other seeds are gone for some reason. Norway first proposed the idea in the 1980s. But security concerns delayed the plan.

　　At that time, the Soviet Union was permitted use of Spitsbergen. New Scientist says the plan won United Nations approval in October at a meeting in Rome of the Food and Agriculture Organization. 16. The project is meant to ________.

　　A. increase the world's food production in the future

　　B. carry out some scientific experiments on plant genes

　　C. protect crop seeds from dying out in case of possible

　　disasters

　　D. build an exhibition centre of the world's plant seeds 答案与解析：C　由第一段第5句话可以判断出选C项。

　　17. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to

　　the passage?

　　A. The government of Norway will perform the project alone.

　　B. Seeds to be collected there were produced ten thousand

　　years ago.

　　C. Spitsbergen is chosen because it is away from the threat

　　of nuclear war forever.

　　D. Temperature is a major consideration when choosing the

　　storage place. 答案与解析：D　由第二段倒数第2句话可以判断出选D项。 18. We can infer from the text that ________. A. People will get newly­developed seeds from the center

　　every year B. The storage center will greatly promote the development

　　of world agriculture C. Norway meant to have built the storage center more than

　　20 years ago D. There haven't been any seed storage centers in the

　　world before 答案与解析：C　由最后一段第3、4句话可知C项正确。 19. What is probably the best title of the passage?

　　The unquestioned role of a student is to learn as much as possible through whatever means it takes to acquire knowledge.

　　Teachers and professors are human beings and are therefore not perfect. No one knows the correct answer to every question even when you limit the questions to a certain field of study. Having certain skepticism (质疑) about what they are being taught can help students to make the teachers even better by correcting mistakes and misinformation.

　　Students certainly have a huge role in their own abilities to learn. Teachers should act more as guides along the way rather than try to force，each student to learn. The best teachers in the world cannot teach an unmotivated student. If the teacher, for whatever reason, cannot motivate the student, then the student must somehow find a way to motivate himself or herself.

　　One method of doing this is by becoming an active rather than a passive student. The more the student involves himself or herself in the act of studying, the better he or she can learn. One of the best ways to become more active is simply to ask the teacher or professor questions. Students who passively sit in a classroom and take everything that the teacher says for granted are not fully using their mental capacities to learn.

　　Better education comes from teachers who are able to get their students to think about a subject rather than merely absorb a certain amount of information. Having a healthy skepticism can improve a student's ability to both think and absorb knowledge in a learning situation.

　　Teachers are human beings and no one is one hundred percent right all the time, even in a classroom situation. Perhaps a teacher would simply unconsciously say the wrong word or pass on some misinformation that the teacher truly believed was correct. A student's question could prevent an entire classroom from becoming confused or misinformed.

　　There is of course a fine balance between a student having a healthy skepticism, and just being a downright skeptic. But with the proper attitude toward learning and a little skepticism, both the students and teachers can improve upon the learning process and maximize learning efficiency. 20. Which of the following is the author's main argument? A. Passive learning results from passive teaching in class. B. A student's ability plays a huge role in the learning process. C. A healthy skepticism fully depends on students' motivation and ability. D. A healthy skepticism and proper attitude contribute to effective learning. 答案与解析：D　主旨题。从文章第一段的叙述可推断出D项为正确选项。

　　21. Being passive learners, the students ________. A. use little of their mental ability while studying B. seldom involve themselves completely in learning C. can hardly tell the right from the wrong in class D. simply ask their teachers questions without thinking 答案与解析：B　从文章第三段最后一句“Students who passively... not fully using their mental capacities to learn”可推断B为正确选项。 22. According to the passage, a good teacher should ________. A. help the unmotivated students patiently B. instruct students in the learning process C. make no mistakes in the teaching process D. answer all the questions raised by students 答案与解析：B　从文章第三段第1句“Better education...amount of information”可推断出B为正确选项。 23. The author will most probably agree that ________. A. keeping skepticism to a certain degree is important B. having a good attitude can ensure the learning process C. taking everything for granted makes a student learn nothing D. a teacher's ability can be improved by encouraging doubts 答案与解析：D　从文章最后一段可推断出。 Ⅲ.短文改错 Ladies and gentleman, may I have your attention, please?

By the way, there is no plane to arrive within a hour. 答案： Ladies and gentleman(gentlemen), may I have your attention, please?

　　句 型 剖 析

　　1. Traditions and fashions, like society itself, change and adapt with time, so it is reasonable that our ideas of beauty change as well. 传统和时尚如同社会本身，是变化的，是适应时代的，因此我们对美的认识会变化也是理所当然的。 like society itself是插入语，so引导的是一个结果状语从句。在这个状语从句中，that引导的从句为真正的主语，it作形式主语。 It is important for modern young people to master at least two foreign languages. 掌握至少两门外语对于当代年轻人来说是很重要的。 [解题警示]　在“It is＋形容词＋从句”的结构中，it作形式主语，有此用法的形容词还有natural, true, strange, necessary, important, obvious, certain, wonderful, funny, possible, likely, probable等。 It is certain that free medical care will be given to most people in our city. 我们城市的多数人将享受免费医疗，这是肯定的。 作形式主语的代词只能用it，不能用that，this等词。

　　2. In other cultures, looking thin for a husband­to­be is not what a woman desires at all...在其他文化中，女人根本不想在未来丈夫眼中显得苗条…… not what a woman desires at all是what引导的表语从句，what在表语从句中作动词desire的宾语。 Unit 18Beauty 影评 [典型例题] 《海底总动员》(Finding Nemo)是一部深受青少年喜爱的动画电影。请你根据以下内容写一篇英文影评。 1. 背景：澳大利亚的大堡礁(Great Barrier Reef) 2. 导演：Andrew Stanton 3. 角色：Marlin(一条逗笑的鱼)；Nemo(Marlin勇敢的儿子)；Dory(一条善良的鱼，后来与Nemo成为朋友) 4. 故事梗概：一天，Nemo独自外出，不幸被人类抓上船。Nemo的父亲Marlin到处找儿子。后来Marlin遇到了好友Dory，并在其帮助下出发寻找Nemo。 5. 评价：这部电影画面优美，故事动人，是一部人人欣赏的精彩电影。

　　[考试题]　①(南昌调研)Lang Lang is my favorite pianist. I regard him as ________ other pianists. A．superior to　B．more superior to C．superior than

　　D．more superior than 答案与解析：A　形容词superior “(级别、地位)较高的，(品质)优良的，较好的”没有比较级和最高级形式。superior to“比……占优势”为固定搭配。 2. consistent adj.一致的，始终如一的 be consistent in...在……方面始终如一 be consistent with...与……一致 consistency n．一致，一贯性 consistently adv.一贯地 His story is not consistent with the facts. 他的陈述与事实不一致。 I'm fed up with your consistently negative attitude. 我对你一惯的消极态度感到厌烦。 [预测题]　②This evidence is not ________ with what you said earlier.

　　B. from C. with

　　与……同时存在或发生 company n．陪伴；公司 keep sb. company 陪伴，做伴 companion n．同伴，伙伴 accompaniment n．伴奏，伴随物 [解题警示]　accompany作动词用时意为“陪同……去……”(相当于go with...)，本身已包含了go的含义，因而不能再与go连用。 I accompanied him to the hotel. 我陪他去了宾馆。
