Ⅲ.單項填空
1．(2011年福州三中
高二檢測)I don’t think his reason for being late makes ________.
A．use B．sense
C．value D．cause
解析：選B?？疾閙ake構成的短語的區(qū)別。句意：我認為他遲到的理由沒有道理。make sense在這里是“有道理，講得通”。
2．(2011年青島高二檢測)The teacher didn’t explain the problem clearly，so many students were ________.
A．confusing B．mixing
C．confused D．mixed
解析：選C。confused感到困惑的。而mixed意為“混雜的”不合題意。
3．(2011年石家莊高二檢測)Firemen said the fire was under control，but they warned that the change in weather might ________ a new fire.
A．bring in B．break out
C．result from D．lead to
解析：選D。break out爆發(fā)，相當于不及物動詞；result from后接原因，意為“由……引起”；lead to意為“導致，造成(后果)”符合題意，故選D。
4．(2011年湖州高二檢測)The power station ________last year is a big one.
A．having been built B．built
C．being built D．to be built
解析：選B?？疾檫^去分詞作定語。The power station與build之間為被動關系，句中時間狀語也暗示了應用過去分詞形式作定語。注意having been built不用作定語。
5．(2011年河南實驗
高中高二檢測)Only in this way ________to get there ahead of time.
A．you can hope B．you did hope
C．can you hope D．did you hope
解析：選C。句意：只有通過這種
方法你才有希望提前到達那里。only修飾狀語放在句首，主句要部分倒裝，所以選C。B、D兩項時態(tài)與句意不符。
6．A small but ________ crowd cheered as the players ran onto the field.
A．energetic B．enthusiastic
C．enjoyable D．encouraged
解析：選B。考查形容詞的辨析。句意：運動員們進入場地時，雖少卻熱情的人群歡呼起來。energetic精力旺盛的；enjoyable令人愉快的；encouraged深受鼓舞的，都不合題意。
7．I cared for none of the presents ________the wonderful bag you bought for my 12th birthday.
A．in addition to B．a(chǎn)s well as
C．in addition D．a(chǎn)part from
解析：選D。本題考查介詞短語的意義和用法。根據(jù)題干語境意義，尤其是wonderful一詞，可以推斷講話者只喜歡這件生日禮物，in addition to和as well as一樣，表示并列關系，不符合題干意義；而in addition意為“另外”，后不接賓語，且不符合題意；apart from意為“除……之外”。
8．Franklin’s ability to learn from observations and experience________greatly to his success in public life.
A．owed B．contributed
C．a(chǎn)ttached D．related
解析：選B。句意：富蘭克林通過觀察和經(jīng)驗學習的
能力有助于他的成功?！皁we...to...”表示“把……歸于……”，應該是“Franklin owed his success in public life to his ability to learn from observations and experience.”；attach...to...表示“把……附屬在……”；related是形容詞，而句中缺少謂語動詞，因此不恰當。
9．—How do you________we go to Beijing for our holidays?
—I think we’d better fly there.It’s much more comfortable.
A．insist B．want
C．suppose D．suggest
解析：選D。根據(jù)答語可知，此處應選擇suggest，意為“建議”。
10．Our students ought to ________our share to the coming college students’ sports meeting in our city.
A．contribute B．construct
C．instruct D．introduce
解析：選A?？疾閯釉~詞義辨析。contribute意為“奉獻，貢獻”。句意：我們應該為即將在我市舉辦的
大學生運動會奉獻自己的力量。而construct意為“建設”；instruct意為“指導”；introduce意為“介紹”，都不符合句子語境意義。

Ⅴ.閱讀理解
Researchers at Oregon State University(OSU)have made important progress in work that should lead toward robots that can not only walk and run very well，but use little energy at the same time.
Studies are moving closer to designing robots that could do dangerous work，create prosthetic limbs(假肢)for humans that work much better than in the past，or even help some people who use wheelchairs to get“walking”abilities.
“Researchers have been working toward robot movement for a long time，”said Jonathan Hurst，a professor at OSU.“What we’ve done is to study what behavior is really possible for a robot.”
The movement of humans and other animals is difficult to copy.Using little energy，they can move easily over hard areas，and enjoy balance from muscles(肌肉)．They have different ways to deal with forces，such as holding something hard in place rigidly(牢牢地)，like the act of holding a cup of coffee level during a car ride.In their recent studies，the OSU researchers proved that these two_abilities are mutually exclusive(相互排斥的)．Humans deal with this problem by using pairs of muscles.For a robot，the more it’s able to do one of these tasks，the less able it is to do the other.
Presently，robots that can walk and run must be as rigid as possible while walking.But this way uses a lot of energy.The OSU researchers are working toward something that has similar or better performance，but uses far less energy，and is closer to the abilities of animals.
“So there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be able to build robots with good movement ability，”Hurst said.“Clearly this might be useful in highly dangerous situations.But I could also see great improvements possible with prosthetic limbs that work much better than present technology.”
【解題導語】 如何使機器人不但能夠走得好跑得好，而且還消耗較少的能量，這是擺在科學家面前的一個大問題。Oregon State University的研究者們正對此進行研究。
1．The robots being studied by researchers at OSU________.
A．a(chǎn)re successful now
B．use little energy
C．do better than before
D．can run faster than humans
解析：選C。細節(jié)理解題。文章第一段指出，Oregon State University的研究者們所研究的機器人仍然處于研究階段，文章只是表明取得了很大的進步。因此，對于其性能怎么樣還很難確定。故答案選C。
2．Which of the following have researchers been studying all the time?
A．The robots’ movement.
B．The robots’ weight.
C．The robots’ sizes.
D．The robots’ walking speed.
解析：選A。細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段的What we’ve done is to study what behavior is really possible for a robot可知，研究者們一直在研究機器人可以做哪些動作。故答案選A。
3．The underlined words“two abilities”in Para.4 refer to________.
A．walking and running
B．walking and holding
C．moving and using little energy
D．moving and balancing
解析：選D。詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文章第四段的Using little energy，they can move easily over hard areas，and enjoy balance from muscles.可知，人類和動物在運動時能夠保持身體平衡，因此，后面提到的這兩項能力就是指的這兩項。故答案選D。
4．According to Jonathan Hurst，we know that robots with good movement ability________.
A．can be used in medical science
B．a(chǎn)re only used in highly dangerous situations
C．will hardly be created in the future
D．will have a bad influence on man
解析：選A。推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段Jonathan Hurst所說的話，很長時間以來，制造出這樣的機器人不是不可能，它們將有助于高危險區(qū)作業(yè)，也可用于假肢方面(醫(yī)學)。故答案選A。
5．Which section of a newspaper is this passage probably taken from?
A．Business. B．Science.
C．Environment. D．Advertisement.
解析：選B。文章出處題。該文介紹了Oregon State University的研究者們對機器人的最新研究，因此該文最有可能從與科學相關的欄目中摘選，故選B。
