Having spent 3. that 4. Releasing 5. introduced 6.
21、to 7. until 8. such as 9. to support 10. which【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。核电站运营商东京电力公司(TEPCO)将大量放射性水倒入海洋的可能性越来越大。福岛县渔业合作社联合会的负责人表达了强烈的反对,同时将废水排放到海里也会激怒韩国,增加两国外交关系的压力。【1题详解】考查时态。句意:2011年3月11日下午,在日本太平洋沿岸的一个小渔港小名滨,Tetsu Nozaki无助地看着一堵水墙(正)撞向他的船只。根据语境可知,此处描述的是过去发生的动作,应使用一般过去时或过去进行时。故填crashed/ was crashing。【2题详解】考查非谓
22、语动词。句意:在过去八年的重建工作之后,福岛的捕鱼船现在又面临着另一种威胁。spend与主语the Fukushima fishing fleet是逻辑主谓关系,此处强调该动作发生在主句动作之前,应使用现在分词的完成式。故填Having spent。【3题详解】考查名词性从句。句意:核电站运营商东京电力公司(TEPCO)将大量放射性水倒入海洋的可能性越来越大。根据句意及句子成分分析可知,此处引导的是the increasing likelihood的同位语从句,从句句子成分齐全,应使用只起连接作用、无词意的关系词that引导。故填that。【4题详解】考查动名词。句意:将废水排放到海里也会激怒
23、韩国,增加两国外交关系的压力。根据句意及句子成分分析可知,此处为动名词短语做主语。故填Releasing。【5题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:首尔尚未解除2013年出台的福岛海鲜进口禁令。此处与an import ban逻辑动宾关系,应使用过去分词做定语,表被动、完成。故填introduced。【6题详解】考查介词。句意:韩国上周宣称,排放污水将对海洋环境构成“严重威胁”日本对此予以否认。短语:pose a threat to“对构成威胁”。故填to。【7题详解】考查连词。句意:日本政府官员表示,他们在收到一个专家小组的报告之前不会做出决定。根据句意及句子成分分析可知,此处为notuntil结构
24、。故填until。【8题详解】考查固定短语。句意:但有强烈迹象表明,与其它选择(例如无限期蒸发、掩埋或储存)相比,倾倒更受青睐。根据句意及空后列举的例子可知,此处使用短语such as“例如”。故填such as。【9题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:批评人士表示,政府不愿支持倾倒垃圾的选择。短语:be reluctant to do“不愿意做”。故填to support。【10题详解】考查定语从句。句意:本周开始的橄榄球世界杯。此处为非限定性定语从句,先行词是he Rugby World Cup,关系词在从句中做主语,应使用关系代词which引导。故填which。【点睛】同位语从句与定语从句从形
25、式上来看十分相似,大多都由that来引导,都跟在名词或代词之后,这也很容易导致同学们在理解或做题时出现错误,而这两者在实质上是截然不同的,句法功能都有所不同:引导同位语从句的that是连词,在从句中不充当任何成份,而引导定语从句的that是关系代词,除起连接作用外,还在从句中充当主语、宾语或表语等,如:The idea that computers can recognize human voices surprises many people.计算机能够识别人的声音的想法使许多人感到惊奇。(同位语从句,that在从句中不充当任何成份)The idea that he gave surpris
26、es many people他提出的观点令许多人感到吃惊。(定语从句,that在从句中作gave的宾语)Section B(A)Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once.

74、ation is responsible for Alzheimers disease but which also occurs in normal aging.”Ritchie said she wasnt sure why men in the study didnt benefit from caffeine. “Our hypothesis is that either women metabolize caffeine differently than men, or there may be an interaction of the caffeine with the sex
75、hormones,” she said.The French study confirms previous research, said William Scott, professor of medicine at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, who has researched caffeines beneficial effects against Parkinsons disease, also a neurodegenerative disorder.As for caffeine only protecti
76、ng women, Scott noted that just 2,800 of the 7,000 study participants were men, and the results might have differed if more men were included.A study published in February in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition looked at 676 healthy men and found that regular coffee drinkers had a lower rate
77、of cognitive decline over a 10-year follow-up than those who didnt drink coffee. Those who drank three cups daily had the least signs of decline.Both Scott and Ritchie agreed that more study is needed. Ritchies research will next look at the relationship between caffeine and Alzheimers.46. As it is
78、indicated in the 1st paragraph, how does coffee influence womens memory?A. The older the woman was. the more remarkable her memory was.B. The more coffee the woman drank, the more slowly her memory declined.C. The older the woman was, the more slowly her memory declined.D. The more coffee the woman
79、drank. the more remarkable her memory was.47. According to Ritchie. Alzheimers disease is resulted from_.A. the lack of caffeine in the brainB. the accumulation of beta amyloidC. high level of proteins in the brainD. abnormal metabolism in normal aging48. William Scott would most probably agree that
80、 caffeine helped_.A. reduce the risk of Alzheimers diseaseB interfere with the process of cognitive declineC. balance the production of female hormonesD. protect both men and women from diseases49. What was the authors attitude towards the research of caffeines beneficial effect on men?A. Doubtful.B
