48、ies of Two FamiliesB(建议用时8)The earth，moon，sun and all visible stars in the sky make up less than one percent of the universe.Almost all the rest is dark matter and dark energy，unknown forces that puzzle astronomers.Observations in recent years have changed the basic understanding of how the universe
49、 evolved and have indicated how little is known about the major forces and substances that shaped our world.Astronomers now know that luminous(发光的) matterstars，planets and hot gas.accounts for only about 0.4 percent of the universe.Nonluminous components，such as black holes and intergalactic(星系间的) g
50、as，make up 3.6 percent.The rest is dark matter，about 23 percent，and dark energy，about 73 percent.Dark matter，sometimes called “cold dark matter”，has been known for some time.Only recently have researchers come to understand the key role it played in the formation of stars，planets and even people.“We
51、 owe our very existence to dark matter，” said physicist Paul Steinhardt.“Dark matter dominated the structure formation in the early universe，” Steinhardt said.“For the first few billion years dark matter contained most of the mass of the universe.You can think of ordinary matter as a froth(泡沫状物) of
52、an ocean of dark matter.The dark matter dumps and the ordinary matter falls into it.That led to the formation of the stars and galaxies(星系)Without dark matter，there would be virtually no structure in the universe.”The nature of dark matter is unknown.It cannot be seen or detected directly.Astronomer
53、s know it is there because of its effects on celestial(天上的) objects that can be seen and measured.But the most dominating force of all in the universe is called dark energy, a recently proven power that astronomers say is causing the galaxies in the universe to separate at a faster and faster speed.

57、st title for the passage?ADark Matter or Dark EnergyBThe Formation of the UniverseCDark Forces Dominate the UniverseDUnknown Forces Puzzle Astronomers答案.单项填空1B考查独立主格结构在句中作伴随状语。teeth与set两个词之间含有逻辑上的被动关系，所以用过去分词；look这一动作是eyes所发出，所以用looking。2Bstruggle against同作斗争，符合句意。3B第一空表示“泛指”某一职业，不需要用冠词。而第二空短语have a
58、 very easy life意思为“过着简朴的生活”，需要用冠词。4C根据语境可知：去开吧，去做吧。所以答案为C。5Dexpand on sth.详细说明某事。6A考查非谓语动词的用法。根据句意可知苏珊尝试着过一个人的生活，但是不喜欢。7.Dregret doing sth.后悔做了某事。8AA项，“无可奉告”。9Abe equipped with.装备有，且and前后形式应一致。10B11Cturn up出现；证明出；调大；fix up修补；解决；set up建立；成立；make up编造；化妆。12Dlead to致使，导致；better此处用来表示比较。13D14Cdo you thi
59、nk作插入语应置于特殊疑问词后，且特殊疑问词作主语。15C得分策略经典例题Seeing her father，the little girl ran to him，her schoolbag_ behind her.AflyingBflewCto fly Dwas flying错因分析有些考生会把后面部分当作一个句子，而句子缺少谓语动词，于是误选B或D。其实，前后两部分之间是逗号，说明后面部分不是一个句子，而选项C表示一个还未发生的动作，显然与语境不符，因此选A项。得分笔记在英语中，一般来说，非谓语动词作状语时，其逻辑主语就是句子主语。如果它的逻辑主语不是句子的主语，就必须在其非谓语动词之前加
60、上适当的名词或代词。这样“名词或代词非谓语动词”就构成了独立主格结构，在句子中作状语。.阅读理解16D推理判断题。两位母亲都给女儿取了Mia这个名字，后来在网上交流时才发现两个女孩长得很像，因此断定两个母亲取名时是无意的，仅是一种巧合。17B细节理解题。从文章第五段中的“The Internet and Web groups.”可知答案。18C细节理解题。文章倒数第二段说科学家还没有女孩亲生父亲或母亲的DNA，因此不能作出确切的判断。19B细节理解题。从第四段Ramirez所说的话可以看出她非常吃惊，但还是相信眼前发生的一切。20A标题归纳题。这两个姐妹分别被两个家庭收养，最终得以团聚。A项最
61、能体现本文的中心。21D细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句中的“.dark energy，about 73 percent.”可知，正确答案为D项。原文中的account for与make up同义，表示“占(比例)”。22A细节理解题。通读全文可知，近年来的观察改变了天文学家对于宇宙演变历史的认识，也就是直到最近天文学家才认识到：dark matter(暗物质) 又称为“cold dark matter”，在宇宙早期结构形成的过程中起主导作用。其他选项的陈述都与原文不一致。23C推理判断题。根据第五段第二句话可知，暗物质(dark matter) 在宇宙早期结构形成的过程中起着支配的作用。24A
62、细节推断题。第五段第一句话告诉我们，我们今天的存在应归功于暗物质，即暗物质决定了我们的存在。25C标题归纳题。全文的内容可以概括为：科学家最近认识到暗物质被证明是存在的一种能量，这种能量正影响着整个宇宙的构成，并主宰着宇宙。得分策略面对较难的阅读材料，该如何下手？(二)经典例题The latest research suggests that the key factor separating geniuses from the merely accomplished is not IQ.，a generally bad predictor of success.Instead，its pur
63、poseful practice.Top performers spend more hours practising their craft.If you wanted to picture how a typical genius might develop，youd take a girl who possessed a slightly above average language ability.It wouldnt have to be a big talent，just enough so that she might gain some sense of distinction
64、.Then you would want her to meet，say，a novelist，who coincidentally shared some similar qualities.Maybe the writer was from the same town，had the same family background，or shared the same birthday.This contact would give the girl a vision of her future self.It would give her some idea of a fascinatin

66、 some of the magic out of great achievement.But it underlines a fact that is often neglected.Public discussion is affected by genetics and what were “hardwired” to do.And its true that genes play a role in our capabilities.But the brain is also very plastic.We construct ourselves through behaviour.7
67、6The passage mainly deals with _.Athe function of IQ.in cultivating a writerBthe relationship between genius and successCthe decisive factor in making a geniusDthe way of gaining some sense of distinction答案解析C该文章相对来说比较难，但是考生如果抓住首段和尾段，就能很快找到答案。因为有关主题思想试题的答案往往会在文章首段或尾段总结时给出，抓住首尾段的内容可以轻松克服阅读材料太难的问题。本文为议论文，结构清晰。首段给出讨论的观点，第二段和第三段列举了一个小女孩如何成为一位有天赋的作家的例子，在末段再次重述成功不仅仅取决于基因遗传，更多在于自身实践改变自我的道理。对于主旨大意题，考生应在了解文章结构后，重点寻找与主旨相关的句子，进行深层阅读，把握住关键词。本文的主题可在文章第一段中的第二、第三、第四句中找到。
