　　Ⅲ.阅读理解

　　Today, one can trace Venice’s rich past from its buildings. Most cities can claim at least a handful of outstanding churches, palaces or houses of historical interest, and

　　nearly everything is remarkable, from the magnificent Piazza San Marco (St. Mark’s Square ) and the palaces that line the Grand Canal to the centuries－old homes of simple fishermen. It would be easy to say that the city itself is an enormous museum if it were not for the fact that it is so obviously alive.

　　At first sight, Venice looks unbelievably permanent, an apparently complete Renaissance (文艺复兴) city so untouched by time that there seems no reason why it should not go on forever. Now the city is slowly sinking, as the clay on which it is built loses its elasticity (弹性) and the massive wooden piles rot (腐烂) away. Flooding, such a rare occurrence a hundred years ago now happens several times each winter.

　　The damage caused by the flooding is immense, and the fabric of the ancient buildings is now being further damaged by pollution from the mainland town as well as by the wash produced by the constantly increasing number of motor boats that speed up and down the canals.

　　A further threat to Venice comes from the Venetians themselves, some of whom are not particularly interested in preserving the city as one of the wonders of the world and would prefer to see it modernized.

　　“What better place is there for the meeting of dear friends? See how it glows with the advancing summer; how the sky and the sea and the rosy air and the marble of the palaces all glimmer and melt together.” Thus wrote the famous author Henry James, of Venice, which provided the setting for his story The Aspern Papers, in the nineteenth century. The splendor of Venice has captured the imagination of artists for centuries—and not just of the great painters and novelists. How tragic now that she is faced with the double threat of man and nature. Venice indeed will be lucky to survive.

　　24．Venice proudly boasts________.

　　A．its beautiful churches, palaces and houses

　　B．its unique St. Mark’s Square and the Grand Canal

　　C．its picturesque waterscape

　　D．its marvelous ancient buildings

　　25．The writer thinks that________.

　　A．Venice can be regarded as a big museum

　　B．Venice is no longer a big museum

　　C．Venice is different from a big museum

　　D．Venice can never be a big museum because of its modernization

　　26．How do the motor boats endanger the buildings?

　　A．They produce violent movements of water.

　　B．They pollute the air.

　　C．They pollute the water.

　　D．They produce too much noise.

　　27．From the fourth paragraph, we know that ________.

　　A．Venetians are eager to modernize their city

　　B．Venetians value the Grand Canal

　　C．Venetians don’t care about any threat to the Grand Canal

　　D．the threat of man is greater than the threat of nature

　　28．In the last paragraph, the writer________.

　　A．is very confident that Venice will survive

　　B．is doubtful whether Venice will survive

　　C．thinks that Venice will have luck

　　D．is afraid that Venice will no longer attract artists and novelists

　　Ⅳ.阅读填空

　　阅读短文，根据所读内容在表中的空格处填上适当的单词或短语。注意：每空不超过3个单词。

　　A device that stops drivers from falling asleep at the wheel is about to undergo testing at Department of Transport laboratories and could go on sale within 12 months. The system, called Driver Alert, aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20%—40% that are caused by tiredness. Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30% of all pilot－error accidents that are related to fatigue(疲劳)．

　　Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband(表带). The device，worn by drivers or pilots，gives out a sound about every four minutes during the journey. After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel(方向盘). A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the driver’s response. Tiredness is directly related to a driver’s response time. Usually，a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond，but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds，it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy.

　　In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds，showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest. If the driver’s response continues to slow down，the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warns that the driver must stop as soon as possible.

　　The device has been delivered to the department’s laboratories for testing. If these tests, scheduled for six months’ time，are successful，the markets will bring the product to market within about a year.

　　Ⅰ.1.C　句意：——你认为一位女士如果被问及年龄她会觉得如何？——那么，她很可能觉得很尴尬。amused被逗乐，愉快的；amusing有趣的，好玩的，引人发笑的；embarrassed尴尬的，害羞的；embarrassing使人害羞的。根据句意可知选C。

　　2．B　句意：他参与的那项新计划与我们大家都有关。be concerned in参与，concern可作及物动词，表示“与……有关”。

　　4．B　答句句意：实际上两个我都不喜欢。not…either of them两个都不……。

　　5．D　 题意：最先想到把蒸汽机和轮子组合在一起的人发明了汽车。combine“组合；结合”，符合题意。compare“比较；相比”；compete“比赛；竞争”；connect“连接；关联”。

　　6．D　 考查动词的时态。本句的意思是“虽然人们可以从电视了解最新消息，但电视不大可能完全取代报纸”。句中unlikely表示说话人认为某事将来不大可能发生，或者认为不大可能成为事实，因此应当用陈述语气将来时，故选D。

　　7．A　考查名词性从句。what引导名词性从句作介词的宾语并在宾语从句中充当主语。

　　8．B　 考查连词。while位于句首可译成“虽然”，位于句中可译成“然而，但是”，表对照、对比关系。

　　9．A　考查让步状语从句与名词性从句。从句子的结构和语意可以看出前一部分是让步状语从句，可以使用no matter what或whatever来引导；to是介词，后面接的是宾语从句，因此引导词只能使用whoever，而不能使用no matter who。

　　10．B　 句意：你没有必要着急。此句使用了there is no need for sb.to do sth.结构。

　　11．D　 考查强调结构。对the children进行强调，后面省略了谓语部分：are making so much noise in the garden.

　　12．A　考查动词短语的用法。look up的意思为“向上看”、“尊敬”、“仰望”、“查寻”、“拜访”、“好转”，在本语境中为“好转”。

　　13．B　 考查以whether 引导的同位语从句，说明question的具体内容。if不可引导同位语从句。

　　14．B　what引导的是主语从句，that引导的是定语从句。

　　15．A　考查交际用语。句意为：“你们可以养只宠物狗，但是假如过了几天你们厌烦了。下一步会怎么样呢？”“我们保证不会厌烦的。”A项为“下一步会怎样？下一步怎么办？”；B项为“好吧”，表示赞同别人的建议；C项为“怎么会呢？”，表示惊讶；D项为“那又怎样？”，表示对某事不关心或认为某事不重要。根据句意选择A项。

　　Ⅱ.16.a　该空表泛指，意为“一条普通的真理”，故填a。

　　17．taller　根据my daughter is very short和But I tell her that good things come in small packages之间的逻辑关系可推断“她想长高”，由此判断填taller。

　　18．that　该空引导定语从句修饰不定代词all，且在从句中作主语，故填that。

　　19．Something　该空在句中作主语，由此判断该空填名词或代词，再结合句意“有的东西表面上贵重，但实际上并不贵重”可判断填Something。

　　20．one　Two heads are better than one. 为一句格言，意为“三个臭皮匠，顶个诸葛亮；两人智慧胜一人” 。

　　21．If　该空引导条件状语从句，根据句意可判断填If。

　　22．with　根据“________ vinegar”和“with honey”的并列关系可判断填with。

　　23．than　根据“more easily”可判断该空填than。
