3、be a thing of the past,thanks to Clever Girl,a smart buoy (浮标) that warns swimmers of the presence of deadly rip currents.The smart device is the brainchild of Australian teenager Maddison King,who created Clever Girl as a project for her Grade 12 Design and Technology class.The 18-year-old,who work
4、s as a lifeguard during her spare time,came up with the brilliant idea after discovering that most children were unable to detect rip currents.The basketball-sized plastic buoy,which can be attached to a chain of similar devices or the ocean floor,is fitted with a small propeller (螺旋桨).When the wate
5、r travels at speed of over 70 centimeters per second,it spins the propeller fast enough to power the light atop the buoy,warning swimmers to stay clear of the area.Though it sounds simple enough,the youngster had to overcome numerous design challenges.For instance,she picked a red light since it is
6、easy to see in the bright sunlight and also because the color serves as a universal warning sign for tourists that do not speak the local language.The devices smooth surface and high handles ensure swimmers do not get hurt,while the black,white,and red striped underside,keeps sharks and other animal

12、ts.”可知,这位18岁的女孩在她业余时间当救生员时,发现大多数孩子不能发现离岸流,所以她想到了这个主意。3.A推理判断题。根据文中最后一段“Besides,the present model cost about $300 to make.”可知,这种装置目前还只是模型(model),这说明目前市场上还没有这种产品。4.D推理判断题。根据文章最后一段第一句中的include something like a warning siren,which would provide sound warnings of rip currents及最后一句中的“the cost has to be cu

59、e tearing eyes,then just try to smile and hold a positive attitude towards 10. (you) life every day!答案及剖析:1.memories考查名词复数。青春似乎在我的心中消逝,只留给我一些难以忘怀的记忆。根据 some unforgettable 可知,有许多令人难忘的记忆,所以要用复数memories。2.actually考查副词。那些我们认为会永远存在的事情在我们意识到之前实际上已经过去了。分析句子可知,本句中的空格处在句子中作状语修饰gone,因此要用副词形式,故用actually。3.whic
60、h考查非限制性定语从句。分析This is youth, is indeed an endless cycle from familiarity to strangeness and from strangeness to familiarity可知,本句中的youth是先行词,在非限制性定语从句中作主语,故用which。这就是青春,从熟悉到陌生,从陌生到熟悉,这是一个无止境的循环。4.until/before/unless考查连词。分析句子可知,是说人在失去某些东西时/之后才会知道忽略了它。故可填until/before/unless。5.have gained考查谓语动词。根据后面“but
61、 also we have lost a lot.”可知,表示已收获了很多的同时也失去了很多,表示动作已完成,故填have gained。6.to achieve考查固定句式。It is +形容词+to do sth.,为固定句式,这种句式中的it是形式主语,真正的主语是后面的动词不定式。然而,我们很快意识到要实现它们是很困难的。故本题填to achieve。7.solution考查名词。分析句子So,silence becomes the best (solve) to all difficulties and hardships.可知,本句中的空格处被the best修饰,要填名词,故用solve的名词solution。因此,沉默是解决所有困难和艰辛的最好办法。8.be treated考查被动语态。分析句子Life should (treat).可知Life 是应该特别小心(被)对待。所以要用被动。而should 后要用动词原形,故填 be treated。9.the考查冠词。分析 best things可知,形容词最高级前要用定冠词the,故本题填the。10.your考查代词。如果你不想流泪,那就试着微笑,每天积极面对生活。因为要修饰名词life,故用形容词性物主代词your。
