1. B
句意:植物的生长速度受许多因素的影响,其中大多数在我们的控制之外。介词后面不能用that,what不能引导定语从句。如果两个句子之间有并列连词,也就是两个句子是并列句,可以用most of them。
2. A

句意:森林警卫员常常发现没有被完全扑灭的篝火。put out“使熄灭”;turn down“拒绝”;break down“分解”;put off“推迟”。
8. B
主句的主语是his head,walk动作的发出者是he,而不是his head,因此不能选A。如果选C,walk与主语应该是被动关系,根据句意显然不对。如果有并列连词, D项和其后内容可以视为并列句。When he was walking in the dark是时间状语从句。
9. C
句意:所有的中国人都盼望着政府的将要在全国执行的四千亿金融计划,目的是提高当前的经济形势。to be carried out动词不定式作定语,计划被执行,所以用动词不定式的被动式。现在分词expecting作伴随状语。
10. A
句意:我们不能一次做两件事。at a time“一次,每次”;at one time“曾经,一度”;at that time“那时,当时”;at all times“随时,总是”。

A。狼吃人的恐怖故事给孤身一人的Farley带来的应是afraid。
B。因为Farley害怕, 所以枪应始终不能离身。all the time意为“一直、始终”。
B。根据下文的描述,狼妈妈给孩子们喂奶,对孩子们进行训练,可见是一位好妈妈,故选good。

10. D。understand意为“了解”合乎文意,为正确答案。
三阅读理解
A
He was the baby with no name. Found and taken from the north Atlantic 6 days after the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, his tiny body so moved the salvage (救援) workers that they called him “our baby.” In their home port of Halifax, Nova Scotia, people collected money for a headstone in front of the baby's grave (墓), carved with the words: “To the memory of an unknown child.” He has rested there ever since.
But history has a way of uncovering its secrets. On Nov. 5, this year, three members of a family from Finland arrived at Halifax and laid fresh flowers at the grave. “This is our baby,” says Magda Schleifer, 68, a banker. She grew up hearing stories about a great-aunt named Maria Panula,42, who had sailed on the Titanic for America to be reunited with her husband. According to the information Mrs. Schleifer had gathered, Panula gave up her seat on a lifeboat to search for her five children -- including a 13-month-old boy named Eino from whom she had become separated during the final minutes of the crossing. "We thought they were all lost in the sea," says Schleifer.
Now, using teeth and bone pieces taken from the baby's grave, scientists have compared the
DNA from the Unknown Child with those collected from members of five families who lost relatives on the Titanic and never recovered the bodies. The result of the test points only to one possible person: young Eino. Now, the family sees: no need for a new grave. "He belongs to the people of Halifax," says Schleifer. "They've taken care of him for 90 years."
Adapted from People, November 25, 2002

D. people took care of the unknown baby for 90 years
A篇
1.A 解析:本篇讲述死于“泰坦尼克号”沉船事件的一名婴儿最终被认定身份的故事。
A 解析:从第二段第四句之后可知:这个婴儿叫Eina,它的母亲叫Maria Panula。Maria带着孩子们去与丈夫团聚。
.D 解析:本题问孩子的姓氏(Last name),孩子的姓氏与父亲相同,在西方多数国家,妇女结婚后将姓氏改为夫姓,那么孩子也就与母亲婚后的姓氏相同,这个婴儿的母亲叫Maria Panula(即姓Panula),婴儿也就姓Panula。
.C 解析:细节理解题,第一段提到1912年这个婴儿被埋葬。全文最后一句“They(the people of Halifax)have taken care of him for 90 years”可知:1912+90=2002。
.C 解析:归纳推理题,全文从婴儿被打捞、埋葬、亲属祭奠、科学检验,最终证明婴儿的身份,所以选C。
B
Your glasses may someday replace your smartphone, and some New Yorkers are ready for the switch. Some in the city can't wait to try them on and use the maps and GPS that the futuristic eyewear is likely to include. " I'd use it if I were hanging out with friends at 3 a. m. and going to the bar and wanted to see what was open," said Walter Choo, 40, of Fort Greene.
The smartphone-like glasses will likely come out this year and cost between $250 and $600, the Times said, possibly including a variation of augmented(增强的) reality, a technology already available on smartphones and tablets (平板电脑) that overlays information onto the screen about one's surroundings. So, for example, if you were walking down a street, indicators would pop up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you.
" As far as a mainstream consumer product, this just isn't something anybody needs," said Sam Biddle, who writes for Gizmodo.com. " We're accustomed to having one thing in our pocket to do all these things," he added, "and the average consumer isn't gonna be able to afford another device (装置) that's hundreds and hundreds of dollars. "
9to5Google publisher Seth Weintraub, who has been reporting on the smartphone-like glasses since late last year, said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as common as smartphones.
"It's just like smartphones 10 years ago," Weintraub said. "A few people started getting emails on their phones, and people thought that was crazy. Same kind of thing. We see people bending their heads to look at their smartphones, and it's unnatural," he said. " There's gonna be improvements to that, and this a step there. "
60. One of the possible functions of the smartphone-like glasses is to ____.
A. program the opening hours of a bar
B. supply you with a picture of the future
C. provide information about your surroundings
D. update the maps and GPS in your smartphones
61. The underlined phrase "pop up" in the third paragraph probably means " ____".
A. develop rapidly B. get round quickly
C. appear immediately D. go over automatically
62. According to Sam Biddle, the smartphone-like glasses are ____.
A. necessary for teenagers B. attractive to New Yorkers
C. available to people worldwide D. expensive for average consumers
63. We can learn from the last two paragraphs that the smartphone-like glasses ____.
A. may have a potential market B. are as common as smartphones
C. are popular among young adults D. will be improved by a new technology
60.【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段第二句话可知,这种像智能手机的眼镜可以提供周围环境的信息,故选C。
61.【答案】C
【解析】词义猜测题。根据句意:如果你走在街上,眼镜上会立刻出现一个指示显示最近的咖啡店的位置,故意为“突然出现”,选C。
62.【答案】D
【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段话Sam Biddle说的最后一句可以推断:对普通消费者来说,这个手机太贵了,故选D。
63.【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可以推测出,这种像智能手机的眼镜可能有潜在的市场。
