B.sleepingC.washing D.playing outside答案 D [ 根據(jù)上下文考查合適的動名詞。從文章大意可知是希望人們有健康的生活方式,參加一些activities(第二段中),因此選playing outside最合適。后面的reading和studying都是室內活動。 ]37. out B.go outC.look out D.keep out答案 A [ 根據(jù)上下文考查合適的動詞。上文提出了一個問題,所以選find out“發(fā)現(xiàn)、找到(答案)”。 ]38. B.offC.on D.beside答案 B [ 根據(jù)上下文考查意義正確的搭配。leave...off“關掉”,這是leave復合賓語結構。 ]39. B.as C.from D.such as答案 C [考查搭配。由下文的to可見這里只能填from。 ]40. B.event C.beginning D.total答案 C [ 根據(jù)上下文考查合適的詞組。這兩句話講的是參與這個活動的人數(shù)的變化,因此先說的是“一開始”in the beginning。]41. B.except for C.including D.except答案 C [根據(jù)上下文考查意義正確的詞。這句話是對前一句話的補充說明,根據(jù)后文的and in more than 12 other countries可見是對所有參與者的一個說明,用including“包括”。 ]42.

B.taking part inC.participating D.asking for 答案 B [從下文來看Vespe是作為一個電視觀眾,即一個參與本次活動的參與者,講自己的體會,而不是一個組織者,因此選taking part in,而participate后面需要加in。 ]52. B.every dayC.every time D.this time答案 C [ 結合句意考查名詞引導的時間狀語從句。從主句的現(xiàn)在進行時,可以判斷選every time“每次”最合適。而every day后面要加when,this time“這次”不合題意。 ]53. B.choiceC.difference D.sense 答案 C [結合上下文考查固定搭配。make a difference “產生了影響”。 ]54. B.saysC.reads D.writes答案 A [根據(jù)句意考查名詞與動詞搭配。下文不是列舉data“數(shù)據(jù)”具體是多少,所以不能用says或reads,應該用shows表示數(shù)據(jù)說明的情況。 ]55. B.down fromC.up to D.up from答案 D [ 根據(jù)上下文考查詞義。從前后數(shù)字來看是在63 percent的基礎上的上升,選up from。] 第三部分 閱讀理解(共兩節(jié),滿分40分)第一節(jié)(共15小題;每小題2分,滿分30分)閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。AOne evening in February 2007, a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote road in Wales. She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her 39。s when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio was parked across a railway line. Seconds later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks. Ceely39。s near_miss made the news because she blamed it on the GPS (導航儀). She had never driven the route before. It was dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS, but it made no mention of the crossing. “I put my plete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train,” she told the BBC.Who is to blame here? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceely39。s story in his book When Machines Fail Us, points the finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small problems. And it39。s not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless keyboards. The problem with his argument in the book is that it39。s not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. A map173。maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention. Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor singalling system. Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the GPS equipment. But Stevenson doesn39。t say.It39。s a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an account of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat puter173。based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft。 both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe it39。s also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some bination of these factors. The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and plex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the
