25、s to fight infectious diseases including anthrax, diphtheria, polio, smallpox, tetanus, and typhoid. All these breakthroughs were the result of Leeuwenhoeks original work. (近两百年后,Leeuwenhoek对微生物的发现帮助法国化学家和生物学家Louis Pasteur提出了他的“疾病理论”。这一概念认为,疾病起源于微小的生物体攻击和削弱身体。巴斯德的理论后来帮助医生对抗了包括炭疽、白喉、小儿麻痹症、天花、破伤风和伤寒在内
26、的传染病。所有这些突破都是Leeuwenhoek的原创性工作的结果)”以及下一段中“In a 1716 letter, he described his contribution to science this way(在1716年的一封信中,他这样描述自己对科学的贡献)”可知,Leeuwenhoek的发现对后来的疾病理论取得了重要的突破,而他本人并没有预见到他会有这些贡献。即画线词指的是“Leeuwenhoek的贡献”。故选C。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“And therefore, whenever I found out anything remarkable, I have
27、 thought it my duty to put down my discovery on paper, so that the scientific community might be informed thereof.(因此,每当我发现任何值得注意的事情时,我都认为我有责任把我的发现写在纸上,以便让科学界知道)”可推知,引用的Leeuwenhoek信中的话表明他相信分享知识是科学进步的关键。故选D。【7题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“In the late 1600s, Leeuwenhoek, inspired by the magnifying lenses he used t
28、o examine cloth, built some of the first microscopes.

C, Aristophanes, an ancient Greek l
31、ibrarian, developed a system of marks to break up text to make it easier to read. Before this, words were often written in one long sentence without spaces between the words. Today in many languagesincluding English-there is a set of rules on how to use full stops, commas and other text marks. Howev
32、er, some believe this is changing. Dr Robert Frost, who studies language, says people no longer use full stops and other punctuation symbols because they feel their messages are clear enough without them. So, is punctuation helpful or just troublesome?Yespunctuation is importantPunctuation is needed
33、 in order to make the meaning of written words clear. If a parent messaged to say, “Its time to eat, children,” this is different from “Its time to eat children”. The second sentence would probably make you want to run in the opposite direction because it sounds as though children were on the menu.
34、The author Jonathan Pierce argues that punctuation can be used to add drama, to break up the sequence of words and change the rhythm of a sentence. “It allows writers to make sentences more interesting so the readers do not get bored,” Pierce claims. “Otherwise, the words run into each other and los

Even, if a sentence is badly punctuated, like this one: It can still be, understood. This short piece of text shows t
36、hat it is the words that are the important part of the sentence, not the symbols between them. Oxford-based linguist Kelly Jones says, “It is the order in which the words appear that conveys the meaning, not the punctuation marks. If there is any doubt in the meaning of the sentence, people are clev
37、er enough to work out what the person is really trying to say. For instance, when people speak, they do not use punctuation and yet we can still understand each other.” Also, punctuation can be confusingthere are lots of complex rules to observe, and if it is used incorrectly it can cause more probl
38、ems than if there were none, punctuation simply isnt needed.8. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To discuss alternative viewpoints.B. To support one argument over another.C. To evaluate the strength of competing ideas.D. To outline historical development of language.9. Who believes punctuation
39、is necessary?A. Robert Frost and Kelly Jones.B. Aristophanes and Robert Frost.C. Jonathan Pierce and Kelly Jones.D. Aristophanes and Jonathan Pierce.10. In paragraph 3, the underlined part is used as_.A. a definition.B. a fact.C. an example.D. an error.11. Which of the following can be a strong argu
40、ment against Kelly Joness opinion? A. Punctuation adds to the effect and richness of a language.B. Without punctuation, people would be breathless when speaking.C. Pauses and tones in speech serve similar functions to punctuation.D. The choice and order of words are important to conveying meaning.【答
41、案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. C【解析】【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了标点符号的发明历史以及从支持和反对两个方面论述了人们对于需不需要使用标点符号的看法。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中“So, is punctuation helpful or just troublesome? (那么,标点符号是有用的还是麻烦的呢?)”结合文章从支持和反对两个方面论述了人们对于需不需要使用标点符号的看法,可推知,这篇文章的目的是讨论不同的观点。故选A。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“Around 200 B. C, Aristophanes, an ancient Gree
42、k librarian, developed a system of marks to break up text to make it easier to read. (大约在公元前200年,古希腊图书管理员Aristophanes发明了一种标记系统,将文本分解,使其更易于阅读)”以及第二段中“The author Jonathan Pierce argues that punctuation can be used to add drama, to break up the sequence of words and change the rhythm of a sentence. “It
43、 allows writers to make sentences more interesting so the readers do not get bored,” Pierce claims. “Otherwise, the words run into each other and lose their impact.”(作者Jonathan Pierce认为,标点可以用来增加戏剧效果,打破词语的顺序,改变句子的节奏。Pierce称:“这能让作者把句子写得更有趣,这样读者就不会感到无聊。“否则,这些词互相碰撞就会失去它们的影响力。”)”可知,Aristophanes和Jonathan
44、Pierce认为标点是必要的。故选D。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中“Punctuation. Even if a sentence is badly punctuated, like this one: It can still be, understood. This short piece of text shows that it is the words that are the important part of the sentence, not the symbols between them. (标点符号。即使一个句子标点符号用得不好,就像下面这句话:它仍然可以,被理
45、解。这段简短文字表明,单词才是句子的重要组成部分,而不是它们之间的符号)”可推知,在第三段中,下划线部分是一个例子。故选C。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Oxford-based linguist Kelly Jones says, “It is the order in which the words appear that conveys the meaning, not the punctuation marks. If there is any doubt in the meaning of the sentence, people are clever enough to
46、 work out what the person is really trying to say. For instance, when people speak, they do not use punctuation and yet we can still understand each other.”(牛津大学的语言学家Kelly Jones说:“单词出现的顺序,而不是标点符号,就能传达意思。如果对这句话的意思有任何疑问,人们能聪明得理解这个人真正想说什么。例如,当人们说话时,他们不使用标点符号,但我们仍然可以理解对方。”)”可推知,Kelly Jones认为标点符号没有必要,因为人
47、们说话不使用标点符合也可以传达意思,结合选项可知C选项“说话中的停顿和声调与标点的作用相似”的观点可以有力地反驳Kelly Jones的观点。故选C。DTo many people, honey bees symbolize wealth, sustainability and environmentalism. But as a honey bee researcher, I have to tell you that only the first item on that list is defensible. Although they are important for agricul
48、ture, honey bees, which are usually imported from outside the local area, also disturb natural ecosystems by competing with native bees.For several years the media has told us that bee populations are under threat.

59、是在为环境做好事。不幸的是,它们可能弊大于利。)”以及第三段的“People mistakenly think keeping honey bees also helps the native bees, which are at risk of extinction. Thats wrong.( 人们错误地认为饲养蜜蜂或帮助蜜蜂是在某种程度上帮助本土蜜蜂,因为它们面临灭绝的危险。那是错误的)”可推断,作者认为蜜蜂不需要拯救,这样反而忽略了本土蜜蜂,并不会帮助本土蜜蜂,因此推断养蜂会危及本地蜜蜂。故选A。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“Much media attention is gi
60、ven to honey bees at the expense of native bees, and this has led many citizensmyself once includedto mistakenly believe they are doing a good thing for the environment by raising honey bees.
