9、ke a crazy idea, but in fact its already been invented! A model called MorePhone has been created by scientists at the Human Media Lab in Canada. Its based on flexible plastic technology developed in Cambridge in the UK by an organization called Plastic Logic. The flexible screens can be any size, a
10、nd are easy to read in direct sunlight. They can be black and white or colorful and are very thin and light. Rachel Lichten, who works at Plastic Logic, says you can even jump on them. Besides, it wastes very little electric energy, so there is no need for large batteries, and this makes them easier
11、 to carry around. Lichten says this technology could be used for heart monitoring, smart watches, second screens for mobile phones, but there are many tests to be done before it is used for medical devices planted in human body.Plastic Logic has spent 13 years developing this new technology. Their c
12、hallenge now is to think of new ways to use it. Lichten says it is always the same with new technologies. She says “bringing new technology to the market is a challenge, especially because it is revolutionary. However, for the next generation of products, you have to know what the next generation of
13、 products will be.” Working with mobile phones or laptops that can roll up like a piece of paper could turn hardware into flexible one.1How will the phone inform you of a new message in the future?ABy ringing you.

14、of the flexible screen?AIts portable. BIts fragile.CIt has a single color. DIt has no battery.3Which device may probably use the flexible screen?AElectric toys. BSmart watches.CPlastic buttons. DMobile phones first screens.4What is the challenge for the Plastic Logic now?AThe revolutionary concept.B

66、;explore探索;wander徘徊;hurry匆忙。4.这个盲人爬得并没有作者想象(imagine)得那么远,在向上的楼梯三分之一的地方,作者听到了他的脚步声。promise 承诺;examine考查,测验;imagine想象;confirm证实。5.这个盲人爬得并没有作者想象得那么远,在向上的楼梯三分之一的地方,作者听到了他的脚步声(step)。step 步伐,脚步声;word单词;secret秘密;cheer欢呼。6.于是作者放慢脚步,在后面稍远处(distance)跟着他。standard标准;distance距离;expense花费;intention目的,意图。7.当他到阳台的时
67、候,作者在后面(behind)十几步的地方看着他。本句指作者站在他的后面,观察他的行为。ahead在前面;around四周,周围;outside在外面;behind在后面。8.根据下文“Excuse me”可知作者靠近(approach)他和他打招呼。recognize 意识到;surround包围;approach接近;witness见证,目睹。9.作者一路跟着这位盲人登塔,主要是因为他不知道对方来这里的原因(why)。所以句中使用why引导宾语从句。10.爬上楼梯,你注意到的不仅是光线,而且阳光会照射到(pour)塔的各处,这样你就可以感受到这种变化,楼梯从凉爽突然变得很温暖。动词pour
68、表示阳光洒在楼梯上。knock 敲击;pour倾倒;slide 滑;burst爆发。11.由下文the cool stairs suddenly become quite warm(楼梯突然从凉爽变得温暖)可知,指你可以感受到这种变化(change)。trend 趋势,倾向;reaction反应;change改变;honor荣誉。12.根据生活常识以及behind the wall可知在墙体的后面通常都有阴影(shade)。light 光;space空间;mess杂乱;shade阴影。13.没有什么地方(place)和这里一样可以很好地感觉光线和阴影之间的差别。这位盲人告诉作者在这里他可以很好
69、地感受光线和阴影之间的差别,所以他才会来这个地方。place地方;signal信号;object物体;period时间段,时期。14.后半句just like a child who was enjoying his favorite games(就像是正在享受自己最喜欢的游戏的孩子一样)说明这个盲人非常满意(content)这个世界给予他的这一切。nervous紧张的;content 满足的;curious好奇的;patient有耐心的。15.他告诉作者尽管(although)盲人不能享受世界上的风景,但他们也能发现生活中的美。根据句意可知上下文之间是转折关系,要用although引导让步状
70、语从句。 答案：compared; that; are called; were; quantities; causing; completely; the; to; warmer解析：考查非谓语动词。句意:每年地球的温度将上升大约一华氏度,相比其他自然变化,这种增长是迅速的。此处的逻辑主语与compare之间是被动关系,应用过去分词形式。故填compared。 考查强调句。毫无疑问,正是化石燃料的燃烧导致了全球变暖。强调句结构为“Its +被强调部分+that从句.”,句中强调主语the burning of fossil fuels。故填that。考查语态。这个过程(产生)的副产品被称为“
71、温室”气体。句中主语some byproducts of this process与动词call 之间为被动关系,应用被动语态。故填are called。考查虚拟语气。如果没有“温室效应”,地球的温度将比现在低33摄氏度。这是一个if引导的条件句中的虚拟语气,表示与现在事实相反,从句用一般过去时,be动词用were。故填were。考查名词复数。当我们向大气中排放大量额外的二氧化碳时,问题就开始了。名词quantity为可数名词,quantities of大量的。故填quantities。考查非谓语动词。这意味着更多的热能被困在大气中,导致全球气温上升。这里用现在分词短语作结果状语,表示自然而然
72、的结果。故填causing。考查副词。然而,科学家对这一增长的态度是完全不同的。修饰形容词different应用副词。故填completely。考查固定搭配。另一方面,另一些人则反对这一观点。短语on the other hand意为“另一方面”。故填the。考查固定搭配。be opposed to是常用搭配,意为“反对”。考查形容词比较级。但有一点是肯定的,即使我们开始减少“温室”气体的量,地球将继续变得更暖。get为连系动词,后跟形容词比较级时意为“变得更”。故填warmer。答案：Dear editor, Recently Ive found a donation box in our
73、school, which the students come to when they have old clothes, bags, newspapers and books to donate. This box, I think, is of great significance. So enthusiastic are the students that they are actively involved in it. Take me for example, I outgrow my clothes so rapidly. Ive got no idea about how to
74、 deal with the clothes which are really new and still in good condition. However, with this donation box, I can help those people in need. In a word, I do think it is a good idea and it can light up our life and make the world a better place to live in.Yours,Li Hua答案：Paragraph 1:After Jack had been
75、gone from the bank for a while, the alarms began to ring. The police arrived at the bank very quickly, only to find no one there. The next day was a really special day for the town, which was filled with newspaper and TV reporters covering the strange theft. The clerks at the bank were busy discussi
