14、 Edison could never be happy only because someone said he was a genius.“There is no such thing as genius，”Edison said.He said that what people called genius was mostly hard work.But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker.From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature.Nat

16、that thinking can give men enjoyment and pleasure.Edison could not understand how anyone could be uninterested in life.As he loved to think，he also loved to work.On the day he became 75 years old，someone asked him what ideas he had about life.“Work”，he answered.“Discovering the secrets of nature and

37、nimals with large bodies tend to hold more heat because，compared to their size，they have a small surface area for heat to escape from.Elephants，with their heavyweight frames，would appear to be at a disadvantage in the heat of their African and Asian habitats，especially because they have thick fur to

64、前自学数学，17岁开始在瑞士学习，1905年获博士学位工作简历：19051915进行他在物理学方面获得新发现的研究工作；1921年获诺贝尔奖，此外，还为人权和人类进步而工作性格及业余爱好：喜欢音乐，生活简朴，对金钱和名誉不感兴趣注意：1.不要逐字翻译；2.词数120左右；3.标题已给，不计入总数。A Simple Man of Great Achievement_综合检测(四)1B考查动词辨析。句意：戒烟的人在他们想吸烟时经常会用食物来代替香烟。replace sth. with sth.以代替。provide提供；convert 改变；exchange交换。2B考查动词辨析。support支
65、持，符合句意。consider考虑；agree同意；confirm证实，均不符合题意。3B考查时态和语态。根据句意，从句的主语与谓语动词间为被动关系，再根据主句的时态，可知从句也使用一般过去时，因不强调本身属性，所以不用主动表被动，故选B。4D考查形容词辨析。根据答语中提供信息its just a good copy( 一件很好的仿制品)，可知询问的是这幅作品是否是毕加索的原作，故此题选D。original最初的，原来的，符合语境。 alternative可替代的；informal非正式的； unusual非同寻常的。5D考查escape用法。句意：当违反交通规则时，彼得总是试图逃避罚款，这令
66、我们无法理解。escape常接动名词的被动语态，即“escape being过去分词”。6A句意：我建议你把上学当回事，否则造成的结果是你不得不出去工作。now and then“时不时地”；in a word“总的来说”，at that moment“在那个时候”。7D本题考查名词辨析。句意：经理知道他工厂的产品质量差，于是决定对工人进行进一步的培训。从语境看，产品质量差符合语境，故选D。8A考查动词短语。句意：根据报道，2013年台湾从大陆游客赚取大约14亿美元的收入。bring in 赚得，挣；bring up养育；bring about导致；bring out生产，出版。9Abe kn
67、own to意思是“为某人所熟知”；be known as意思是“作为出名”；be known for意思是“因为出名”。根据句子意思“无论他提到谁我都很熟悉，因为他们都是著名的现代作家”可知，答案为A项。10B考查时态和语态。由后面的定语从句可知桥正在(被)建设中，故使用现在进行时的被动语态。11B 从下文_17_at one point she became somewhat mysterious 可推知，此处意思是她对妈妈没什么秘密(secrets)。12C 前一句说她对妈妈没什么秘密，后一句说她最近变得有些神神秘秘的，由此可知两句话之间为转折关系，故选But。13A 从上文_17_at
68、 one point she became somewhat mysterious 可推知此处的意思是“她不再像以前那样凡事都跟妈妈交流了”。故communicative 符合语境。14A 从文章最后两段中所提到的she found her diary on the pillow 和 Holding the diary可推知，此处是说：她有个日记本(diary)锁着。15A 从破折号后的解释what if she fell in love? She was not old enough for that可推知，妈妈此时很为女儿感到担忧(worrying)。cant help 意为“禁不住，忍不
69、住”，后面跟动词ing形式作宾语。16B 句意：结果(After all)她到了这个危险阶段。in all 总计；first of all 首先；at all 根本。17C 从下文可知，去和同学看电影的是这个女孩(girl)。18D 句意：那天晚上女儿会晚点回来(return)。19A 从下文可知，女儿去看电影了，故可以知道妈妈同意了(agreed)。20C 句意：她的女儿晚上从来没出去过(out)。21D 妈妈本来就因为女儿可能有了秘密而担心，此时，又跟同学出去看电影很晚没回家，因此她越来越担心和不安了，grow 在此意为“增强，增加”。22A 句意：她决定出去接女儿。此处meet 意为“迎
70、接；接应”。其他选项不符合语境。23D 句意：汽车停下来的噪音把她引到窗边。draw本意是“拖，拉”，此处引申为“吸引，招引”。24C wave goodbye 挥手告别。25B 从上文可知，妈妈看见了女儿在同一位男生挥手道别，故此处应该是“假装(pretending)什么都没有发生”。26D 女儿以为妈妈什么都没看见，所以听妈妈问到 Who was that boy？的问题时很吃惊(surprised)。从语境来看，其他三个词均不符合女儿此时的情绪。27B give sb.a lift 让某人搭便车。28C 句意：第二天早上当母亲为女儿整理房间的时候。do some tidying 意为“整
71、理房间”。29D 妈妈犹豫了一会儿，打开(opened)女儿的日记。30B 句意：妈妈，是因为爱您才问了那样的问题，但如果您不问，那将是一种理解。31B细节理解题。在原文中没提到B项。根据第一段第二句“There are only a few men in all of the history，who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light.”可知其他三项的叙述是正确的。32C细节理解题。根据第一段末句“He said that what peo
72、ple called genius was mostly hard work.”可知在爱迪生看来天才就是努力工作的结果，故选C项，由此可排除D项。从第一段第三句“But Edison could never be happy only because someone said he was a genius.”可知A项错误；B项在原文没提到。33A细节理解题。由第三段第三句“But he knew，too，that thinking can give men enjoyment and pleasure.”可知答案。其他三项在原文没提到。34A推理判断题。文章最后一句话“He said he
73、had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.”暗示出爱迪生觉得他有很多要发明的东西，对此而言，生命却很短暂，故选A项。【语篇解读】本文为一篇介绍性的说明文。文章主要介绍了一种类似于智能手机的眼镜的功能及这种新科技产品的前景。35C细节理解题。根据文章第三段的描述“.a technology already available on smartphones and tablets(平板电脑)that overlays information onto the screen about ones s
74、urroundings.”可知“智能手机和平板电脑的这种技术能将周围环境的信息覆盖到屏幕上”，再结合后文的举例可知，这种类似于智能手机的眼镜的功能之一就是能为你提供周围环境的信息。36C词义猜测题。根据文章第三段可知，这种类似于智能手机的眼镜能为使用者提供周围环境的信息，例如：如果你走在大街上，指示器就会立即告诉你最近的咖啡店或其他一些信息。根据画线词后面的showing you the nearest coffee shop可知pop up的意思为appear immediately“立即出现”。A项意为“快速发展”，B项意为“(消息)快速传开”，D项意为“自动复习”。37D细节理解题。根据
75、文章第四段所述“.and the average consumer isnt gonna be able to afford another device(装置)thats hundreds and hundreds of dollars.”可知Sam Biddle认为对于普通顾客而言，他们没有能力来购买如此贵的装置。38A推理判断题。根据倒数第二段，Seth Weintraub认为这种可戴式新科技产品最终会像其他智能手机一样普遍。再结合最后一段的例子特别是最后一句话“Theres gonna be improvements to that，and this a step there.”可看出
76、这种新科技产品会很快流行起来，言外之意是这种新科技产品的市场潜力很大。39B细节理解题。从第二段的In March of 2007.Two months later.可知答案。40D推理判断题。从第三段的the activity of this volcano has been on the increase since the end of 2009可知D项正确。41C细节理解题。从第四段的“Though the hail.only fell for ten minutes，two people were killed”可知C项正确。42B作者意图题。文章客观地说明地球近年发生了很多奇特的自
77、然、气候现象并列举了三个例子，所以写作意图主要是向大家介绍这些情况而已。43A细节理解题。根据第二段的they have thick fur to protect them from bushes and trees可知A项正确。44A推理判断题。从第三段的“.grow large ears to help them stay cool.The skin on the ears is thinner，so blood which flows into them cools down more easily.”可推断出A项正确。45B细节理解题。根据第四段的The researchers stu
78、died six African elephants at Vienna Zoo和Other experiments show that elephants in the wild.可知B项正确。【语篇解读】本文是议论文。作者通过自己的经历告诉我们什么是真正的幸福，我们应该如何获得自己想要的幸福。46A细节理解题。由文章第一段中的“.which seems to get rarer the older we get.”可知，人们越老越觉得很难获得幸福。47C推理判断题。在第五段作者讲述了自己的幸福观；在第六段作者讲述了自己因能够不受打扰地写作而感到幸福，安静过后一家人在一起喧闹也感到幸福。由此
79、可知作者对日常生活是容易满足的。48D推理判断题。由文章第七段中的“She did have a network of close friends and family，and maybe this is what satisfied her.”可知，祖母有一群亲密的朋友和家人，或许她正是因此而满足。由此可以推断出，祖母的幸福来自对生活的适度期盼。49B细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段最后一句可知，我们追逐幸福并以财富和成功来衡量它，却没注意到那些拥有财富和成功的人们并不一定更幸福。由此可知，以财富和成功来衡量幸福的人其实是对幸福施加了太多的压力。50D主旨大意题。从作者对于幸福的论述我们可以看出
80、，幸福就是对于自己已经拥有的感到满足，而过分追求财富和成功只能给自己更大的压力，由此我们得出答案为D。5155CBDGF56Finding friends on the Internet.57a/your real name58Traditional pen pals were the primary source for such contacts，and students could write each other letters.59They want to practise their language skills and learn more about other cultur
