A.a;the B.the;the

答案:C
5.The boss ordered the work ______ in three days.
A.finish
B.to finish

二、阅读理解
A
Like many teachers,I have been busily studying the best practices for reaching my students and preparing them to be learned citizens in the digital age.One of the many methods I’ve carried out in my classroom is a teacher website through which students and parents can subscribe to receive assignment updates,class announcements,and downloadable classroom handouts.
In order to make the website function in the best way for students,and allow me to build interactivity(互动)into the site,I spent some money running the website.The more I thought about the money I spend on class resources for the students,the more I planned to include advertisements on the site to get back the money I had spent before.Finally,I got rid of the idea.Deep in my soul,I knew this crossed some sort of ethical boundary(职业道德标准).Indeed students face the flood of advertisements every day—on the radio,television,and social networking sites.But as a teacher we should be ready to spend some money for our students so that is why I will never use the site for advertisements.
I’m not alone in using my own money to provide students with materials they cannot afford and to improve the learning tools to which they have access.According to a report,97% of teachers often use their own money to buy necessary classroom supplies,and teachers spend $350 on average from their own income on school supplies and instructional materials.$350 is a lot of money for a teacher.That is unbelievable for educators whose salaries,benefits,and school supplies are rapidly decreasing while the cost of living and the price of goods are increasing fast.It seems reasonable that companies offer money to education or for the government to invest more money in education.
The money I spent on the website is not much,but I’ve benefited a great deal.I have to admit that using the website has made me more effective in teaching.My work burden has become little,and the grades of students have improved greatly.
作者自己花钱办了一个为学生服务的网站,结果自己的工作效率提高了,学生的成绩也取得了巨大的进步。
1.Which of the following can students NOT see on the author’s website?
A.Assignment updates.
B.Digital news.
C.Class announcements.
D.Classroom handouts.
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段...students and parents can subscribe to receive assignment updates,class announcements,and downloadable classroom handouts可知,网站的内容不包括B项,答案为B项。
答案:B
4.In Paragraph 3,the author mainly______.
A.introduces a report about the government’s spending money on students
B.tells us why the cost of living and the price of goods
are increasing fast
C.explains the universality of teachers’spending money on students
D.proves that it is important for companies to offer money to support education
解析:主旨大意题。根据第三段I’m not alone in spending my own money to...which they have access可推断,答案为C项。
答案:C
B
Recently,a study showed that changes found in astronauts’eye tissue might cause vision problems,and possibly even blindness.As well as threatening the health of astronauts,this could influence longdistance missions into space.
Larry Kramer of Texas Medical School in Houston and his colleagues carried out MRI scans on 27 NASA astronauts after they had spent an average of 108 days in space.About half of them had some problems in their optic nerve(视神经)or eyeball.
The changes match those seen in people with idiopathic intracranial hypertension,a rare condition in which the pressure of blood is abnormally high in the brain.People with the condition experience headaches,nausea(反胃)and vision problems including blindness.
In space,the changes are probably caused by living in free fall.“It is not because of the sunlight in space or the spacecraft’s function.One likely reason is that blood which normally pools in the legs is shifted toward the skull(头颅骨),raising pressure,”says Kramer.
The findings are similar to the results of a survey of 300 astronauts carried out in 2011.The damage in vision was reported by 29 percent of astronauts on shortterm missions,and 60 percent on longterm missions.
“If astronauts are exhibiting these changes after only 100 days in space,what will happen on a threeyear flight to Mars?”asks Jason Kring,who studies human performance in extreme conditions at the EmbryRiddle Aeronautical University in Florida.
“Deteriorating vision could seriously damage astronauts’ ability to carry out routine mission tasks,including monitoring displays and navigating the rocky landscape of Mars,”says Kring.“This possibility,combined with what we already know about how microgravity affects muscles and bones,paints a dark future for human space flight unless we start to develop effective measures.”
Kramer says that NASA has the matter in hand.In the wake of the study,all astronauts now have regular brain scans.This includes those yet to travel into space,providing a baseline(基线)from which any changes would be obvious.He also believes it might be possible to identify astronauts’ risk of eyesight damage from medical data before sending them into space.
研究发现,太空飞行会对宇航员的眼睛造成伤害,这或许会影响人类对太空的探测。
5.The author mentions idiopathic intracranial hypertension in Paragraph 3 in order to______.
A.show that the condition is common for astronauts
B.explain the symptoms of astronauts’ vision problems properly
C.stress the importance of astronauts’ vision problems
D.compare the difference between patients and astronauts
解析:作者意图题。根据第三段...a rare condition in which the pressure of blood is abnormally high in the brain可推断,作者的主要目的是更好地描述宇航员的症状,故答案为B项。
答案:B
6.According to Kramer,many astronauts have vision problems probably because______.
A.the sun shines brightly in space
B.the spacecraft makes too much noise
C.the spacecraft is always moving too fast
D.zero gravity has an influence on astronauts
