6、根据never和nobody seemed to care about可知没有人去医院探望他。 B项表示“亲戚”，一个人不可能没有亲戚，所以此项不恰当； C项意为“病人”，MrGillespie本身就是病人，因此C项显然不正确；根据常识可知由于种种原因朋友不一定去看望病人，所以D项不恰当。2. A. interest B. requirement C. condition D. thought 答案：C 指导：MrGillespie病情严重，昏迷不醒，但好像没有人关心他的“状况”。 interest兴趣；爱好”，文中没有信息支持，所以A项错误；由于病人严重昏迷，不会有什么“要求”、“想法”，所

8、果选择此项，意味着他在同作者成为朋友之前很 正常，显然不正确；D项表示“正如”，前后意思不通顺。5. A. occasional B. tight C. satisfactory D. warm 答案：A 指导：根据下一句可推测病人在昏迷状态下“偶尔”握一下作者的手。 B项表示“紧紧的”，病情严重的人应该是软弱无力；C、D两项分别表示“令人满意的”“温暖的”，带有说话人强烈的感情色彩，但结合病情可将这两项排除。6.

A. happy B. uncertain C. nervous D.
12、proud 答案：B 指导：MrGillespie刚一开始没有认出作者是谁，所以当一位陌生人说出自己的名字时，自然会满腹狐疑。happy幸福的”，不合常理；nervous紧张的”，作者当时只是一名稚气未脱的学生，因此他没有必要感到紧张；proud“自豪的”，根据常识可判断此项错误。13. A. apologized B. rememberedC. explained D. admitted 答案：C 指导：作者从对方的表情看出他没有认出自己，所以要“解释”原因。apologized道歉”，作者没有做错任何事情，不必道歉；remembered记得”，与所给语境不符；admitted承认”，言外之

15、y days there holding his hand and talking to him”可知是作者的“抚摸”，因为my voice与talking to him对应，touch与holding hishand对应。 humour幽默”，作者当时在照顾一位昏迷不醒的病人，不可能给他说幽默的话；encouragement“鼓励”，文中没有信息支持；treatment治疗”，作者只是护士助手，没有给病人治疗。19. A. forgotten B. called C. missed D. seen 答案：D 指导：作者从那以后再也没有“见到”过他。forgotten忘记”，如果选择此项，意味
16、着作者在加油站遇到他之前把他忘记了，显然错误；called打电话”，作者以前也没有给他打过电话；missed想念”，作者对他一直念念不忘。20.

36、s a small fish, the Antarctic cod.For forty years scientists have been curious about that fish. How does it live where most fish would freeze to death? It must have some secret. The Antarctic is not a comfortable place to work and research has been slow. Now it seems we have an answer. Research was
37、begun by cutting holes in the ice and catching the fish. Scientists studied the fishs blood and measured its freezing point. The fish were taken from seawater that had a temperature of -1.88C and many tiny pieces of ice floating in it. The blood of the fish did not begin to freeze until its temperat
38、ure was lowered to -2.05C. That small difference is enough for the fish to live at the freezing temperature of the ice-salt mixture.The scientists next research job was clear: Find out what in the fishs blood kept it from freezing. Their search led to some really strange thing made up of a protein (
39、蛋白质) never before seen in the blood of a fish. When it was removed, the blood froze at seawater temperature. When it was put back, the blood again had its antifreeze quality and a lowered freezing point.Study showed that it is an unusual kind of protein. It has many small sugar molecules held in spe
40、cial positions within each big protein molecule. Because of its sugar content, it is called a glycoprotein. So it has come to be called the antifreeze fish glycoprotein, or AFGP.57.
