9、eClieDstick解析kill“杀死”;die“死”;lie“撒谎,躺”;stick“粘贴”。由常识判断,如果苍蝇不断地撞击玻璃,就会死在那里。答案B9A.awayBfarCnearDdistant解析away“距离远”;far“远的”;near“近的”;distant“远的”。away用在名词后,表示距离某地有多远,符合语境。答案A10A.dreamsBthinks ofCmissesDlongs for解析dream“梦想”;think of“考虑”;miss“怀念,错过”;long for“渴望”。句意为:只需十秒钟的飞行,这只苍蝇就能飞到外面它所渴望的世界。答案D11A.doneB

11、为:突破的可能性就在那里,是那么简单。答案A14A.attemptBanythingCstruggleDsomething解析something“某事,某物”,常用于肯定句;anything“任何事物”,常用于否定句和疑问句。在表示请求、建议或征求意见的疑问句中常用something。答案D15A.thatBwhatCwhichDwhere解析that可引导定语从句,也可引导名词性从句;what引导名词性从句;which引导形容词性从句;where可引导定语从句和状语从句。从句中不缺任何成分,且句中先行词是idea,所以其后要用that来引导同位语从句,对idea进行补充说明。答案A16A.s
12、enseBdifferenceCeffectDeffort解析sense“感觉,意识”,常和make构成短语,make sense意为“有意义”;difference“区别,不同”;effect“影响”;effort“努力”。句意为:毫无疑问,这种方法对这只苍蝇来说是有意义的。答案A17A.ofBfromCoffDto解析在solution的后面常跟to表示的不定式,是固定搭配。意为“解析法”。答案D18A.adviceBsupportChopeDpower解析advice“建议”;support“支持,支撑”;hope“希望”;power“力量”。此处与最后一段中的“If you_your
13、hopes for a.”相照应,故用hope符合语境。答案C19A.riskBgetCmakeDtake解析risk“冒险,冒的风险”;get“获得”;make“制作”;take“带走”。句意为:如果你冒险把你的希望放在比以往更艰难的突破上,你就可能有扼杀成功的机会。答案A20A.failBkillCachieveDfulfill解析fail“失败”;kill“杀死”;achieve“获得,达到”;fulfill“执行,履行”由语境可知,此处应用kill。答案B阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。Today, ultrasonic(超声的) wa
