22、分30分)AAstronomy is the oldest science known to man.Thousands of years ago man looked at the stars and wondered about the heavens.But man was limited by what he could see with his eyes alone.The Greeks studied astronomy over 2,000 years ago.They could see the size，color，and brightness of stars.They c
23、ould see their places in the sky.They watched the stars move as the seasons changed.But the Greeks had no tools to help them study the starry heavens.Each new tool added to the files of astronomy；it helped man reach out into space.Until there were telescopes(望远镜)，man knew little about the moon.They
24、did not know that the planet called Saturn(土星)had rings around it.Their sight was so limited that they could not see all the planets.In the early 1700s，people thought there were only six planets.Before the spectroscope(分光镜)，man did not know what kind of gases is in the sun or other stars.Without the

29、my，and while at Cambridge he would sit up at night to watch the stars.But he was dissatisfied with the telescopes of those days because they didnt show him a clear picture of things.At first he thought there must be something wrong with the lens(镜头)But no matter how hard he tried to improve the lens
30、，the trouble was still there.This set Newton thinking.He began to study the nature of light and colors.In the end he found that sunlight，or white light，is actually made up of a row of colors.He counted seven colors in all.This was of course a great discovery.But Newton still wasnt satisfied.His mind
31、 was busy with another problem.Before Newtons time，scientists had already discovered that the sun，not the earth，was the center of the universe，and they knew that the earth and the other planets moved round the sun.But they couldnt explain why this was so until Newton gave the answer.One autumn eveni
32、ng while Newton was sitting under an apple tree thinking over these problems，he saw the moon rise in the sky.Why，he asked himself，should the moon round the earth，never leaving the same path？At that moment，he heard an apple drop from the tree.Why should the apple drop to the ground？Why didnt it go si

37、gave the answer.CBut it was Newton who gave the answer.DBut Newton was the first to give the answer.CAn international team of astronomers has discovered a planet slightly larger than Jupiter that orbits a star 500 light years from Earth.A very good telescope was not even required；they found the plan
38、et using several small telescopes much like those used by amateur astronomers.The new planet is named TrES2 because it is the second such planet found by scientists working on the TransAtlantic Exoplanet Survey(TrES)It is a transiting planet(凌日行星)，meaning it can be seen transiting，or moving，across t
39、he star it orbits.Ted Dunham，an instrument scientist at Arizonas Lowell Observatory，says transiting planets are special because researchers can answer a lot of questions about them.All it takes is some math and some observations about the planet and its relationship to its star.But how big is it？How
40、 long is its year(the time it takes to orbit around its star)？How much would you weigh if you were there?“TrES2 is a little bigger than Jupiter，has a yearthat is a little less than two and a half days，and is a little more massive than Jupiter，”explains Dunham.From its mass and radius(the distance ac
41、ross the planet)scientists can figure out the density of the planetwhether it is made of rock，gas，or a combination of the two.(TrES2 is made up mainly of gas.)They can also work out the surface gravity，says Dunham：“You would feel a little more than twice as heavy as on Earth if you were on TrES2.”Th
42、eres a catch，though.“The temperature is about 1,500 degrees Celsius(2,732 degrees Fahrenheit)，and there is nothing solid to stand on.It isnt a likely place to look for life，”he says.Dunham says that to find smaller planets like Earth or Venus，scientists need to send instruments on a mission(使命) to s
43、pace.NASA scientists are planning one called the Kepler Mission，which could begin in two years.TrES2 is in the part of the sky that the Kepler Mission will study.Since astronomers already know so much about it，they can use it to help make sure their instruments are working.64A suitable title for thi

63、s.It was terrible!M：And tomorrow，Miss Smith?(Text 10)An important businessman was asked to give a twentyminute speech in another city.He was too busy to write it himself，so he asked his secretary to put one together for him out of a large book of speeches which she had on her desk.She typed one out
64、for him，and he picked it just in time to rush off to his plane.But when he gave his speech，it ran on for an hour，and the audience was bored by the end of it.When the businessman got back to his office，he complained to his secretary about this.“I told you it should be a twentyminute speech，” he said
65、to her angrily.“Thats what I gave you，” she answered，“the original and the two copies.The original for you to read at the meeting and the two copies for the file.”二、 21. Bcome up with“提出，想出”；watch out for“当心”；take notice of“注意到”；get along with“与相处，进展”。句意：孩子们经常被告知，当父母不与他们在一起时要当心陌生人。 22. Deven though“
66、即使”；as though“好像”；so that“为的是，以便于”；now that“既然”。本句中应用now that引导原因状语从句。句意：既然你独自一人在家，为何不和我们一起去参加聚会呢？ 23. Bbring up意为“抚养，呕吐”；cheer up意为“(使)高兴，(使)振作”；give up意为“放弃，对不抱希望”；come on意为“进展，加油”。由从句“不论她何时难过”可知，此处应用cheer her up表示“她的父母总是能让她高兴起来”。 24. Ain time的含义是“及时，迟早，最终”；on time的含义是“按时”；at times的含义是“有时”；at last
67、的含义是“最后”。由“luckily”可知，医生应及时赶到挽救了他的生命。 25. A本题主要区别几个含pull的词组。pull out意为“驶出”、“拉出”；pull in作“进站”、“靠岸”讲；pull away是“开动”、“离开”之意；pull up有“停下”之意。根据题意，汽车的司机从卡车后面驶出，应该选pull out。 26. Bwatch out“当心”；break out“发生，爆发”；die out“灭绝”；give out“分发，耗尽”。由空前的war可知此处应用break out。 27. Awhich引导的主语从句是一件事情，所以主句的谓语动词用单数，排除B、D项；主语
68、从句要用陈述语序，故选A项。 28. C由下文的“before the agreement was reached”可知以前村民总是发生“激烈的”冲突。 29. Dkeep.from doing表示“阻止做某事”时，介词from不能省略；而prevent.from doing.中的from则可以省略。 30. B考查主语从句的引导词。主语从句位于句首时不用if引导，排除A项。句意为：他是否会来还不清楚。C、D两项均可以引导主语从句，但用在此处语意不通，可排除。 31. D考查代词的用法。分析题干中宾语从句的结构可知，应该用it在从句中作形式主语，其真正的主语是后面的动词不定式短语。 32. B
69、be harmful todo harm to，意思是“对有害”。 33. C词组give birth to表示“生育”。 34. Cpuzzle与介词over/about连用，表示“冥思苦想”，由第一个空前的were可知，此处应用过去进行时，即用puzzling；puzzling表示“令人困惑的”，用来修饰problem；修饰expression或look时，应用puzzled。 35. C句意：既然我们俱乐部90%的会员反对这个计划，我们最好改一下。although“尽管”；when“当时候”；now that“既然”；even if“即使”。三、 36A由下文的on the other
70、hand可知，此处应为on the one hand“一方面”，为固定搭配。37Badvise后不能直接跟不定式。根据句意此处需用被动语态。38C句意“建议人们给研究工作提供一种自由的氛围”。space和room表示“空间”时，均为不可数名词，其前不能使用不定冠词a。discussion“讨论”，不符合句意。39B根据on the other hand与前面构成的相反的关系，可知harmful符合句意。be harmful to意为“对有害”。40C这样，对政府来说是否限制科学研究和发展应该有个平衡。for 此处意为“对于来说”。41A根据这句话中的balance可以推断出选A项。improv
71、e“改进”；block“封锁，阻碍，堵住”；puzzle“(使)迷惑，(使)为难”。42Cnow that意为“既然”，其引导的句子与后一句话成因果关系。for意为“由于”，也可引导表示原因的分句，但常放在主句的后面，且有逗号将其与主句隔开。43A既然科学研究是一项可预先做的工作。in advance “预先，事先”，固定短语。44B对政府甚至是公众来说很难确定一项研究是否是有价值的。根据句意可知选B项。45D但是科学研究不像其他事情，没有创造是行不通的。根据句意可知选D项。46B承前，众所周知，创造性是不应被限制的。creativity“创造”，为名词。create为动词，意为“创造”；cr
72、eative为形容词，意为“有创造力的”；creator为表示人的名词，意为“创建者，创作者”。47A如果回顾过去，我们将发现许多深远的研究工作都来自自由地思考。look back“回想，记起”。look out“注意”；look into“调查”；look after“照顾”。48Ba good many和a great deal of都意为“很多”，前者接可数名词复数，后者接不可数名词。其他两个词组搭配不正确。49D由下文的“His raw idea.meaningless.”可知选D项。50B举爱因斯坦为例。take.for example“举为例”，为固定短语。51D他提出了相对论。c
73、ome up with“提出”。keep up with“跟上”；catch up with“赶上”；put up with“忍受，容忍”。52A承接前面句子中的the Theory of Relativity。53A在那时没人能够断定爱因斯坦的这一想法将导致一场物理方面的全球性革命。tell此处意为“断定”。54Cglobal“全球性的”，符合句意。其他三项表示消极意义，故排除。55A这样看来，没有限制的自由思考从某种程度上能够鼓励创造性。 thus“因而，从而”。however“然而，可是”；and和but之后一般不用逗号。四、第一节A56D主旨大意题。通过本文的叙述，我们知道没有现代技术
74、，科学不可能发展得快。57A细节考查题。由第一段可知，在古代，人们主要通过肉眼来观察星球。58D细节考查题。由第二段可知，只有D项的内容“星球是由什么组成的”没有提到。59D由第四段最后一句可推知，现在人们已经知道无线电噪音来自遥远的太空。60B细节考查题。由短文最后一句可以得出答案。B61C主旨大意题。整篇文章的内容集中在牛顿是怎样得出两项重大发现的。62C细节考查题。由第二段第三、四句知，牛顿先发现太阳光由一组颜色组成，然后再数颜色的数目。由此排除A、B和D三项。63D句意猜测题。句意为“直到牛顿给出答案他们才知道为什么会这样”，由此得出答案为D项。C64B主旨大意题。文章一开头就点明了主
75、题：一组国际天文学家发现了一颗比木星稍大的行星，然后逐一介绍了有关这颗行星的其他方面，故B项为最佳答案。而A项表述太宽泛；C项表述只是文章中的一个细节；D项表述则完全偏离了方向。65D细节理解题。根据原文第三段最后一句话可知选D项。66A词义理解题。联系上下文即可看出这句话中的them是指主句中提到的transiting planets。67D细节理解题。根据原文倒数第四段的“You would feel a little more than twice as heavy as on Earth if you were on TrES2”进行计算；562112，结合a little more
76、than可知D项正确。第二节EGFBD五、 第一句：latelylate表示“在深夜”应用“late at night”；lately表示“近来”。第一句：askasked讲述过去的事情应用过去的时态。第二句：shehe代替an Englishman应用he，不用she。第三句：minuteminutesa few修饰可数名词的复数形式。第三句：第二个butand上下文并没有转折，因此不用but应用and。第四句：去掉a表示“每几”应用“every few复数名词”。第四句：repeatedrepeatand连接并列的成分，此处应用动词原形与前面的come保持一致。第五句：astonishin
77、gastonishedastonishing的含义是“令人惊讶的”，修饰事物；astonished的含义是“惊讶的”，修饰人。第五句：iswas讲述过去的事情应用过去的时态。第六句：calmcalmly应用副词修饰动词。六、【写作指导】主题：a discussion on whether space is worth exploring必备词汇：have a discussion，space exploration，far away from，such as，on the other hand，benefit from，one day，enable sb to do sth必备句型：Recen
