This consistent and orderly time system, based on a grid of time 21 , seems so natural that people 22 give it a moments thought. So you may find it surprising to learn that prior to the late 1800s each community 23 its own time by looking at the sun. When the sun shone directly overhead in Washington, D.C., for example, it was 12:00 noon there; up the road in Philadelphia, 24 , it was 12:07, and in Boston it was 12:24. To measure time with absolute accuracy, it is necessary to move the clock about one minute for every twelve miles of distance; so according to “sun time” your pocket watch would be slightly 25 if you ventured only a few miles down the road.It was not until the advent of widespread railroad travel that a need 26 for 27 time. At one point over 300 local times were honored within the 28 , making it literally impossible for trains to arrive consistently on time 29 . As a result, in 1883 the continental United States was divided into four time longitude. The standardization resulting from this system 30 so helpful that in 1884 the International Meridian Conference applied the same procedure to establish time zones around the world.21.A.areasB.districtsC.zonesD.divisions22.A.usuallyB.neverC.onlyD.rarely23.A.madeB.establishedC.arrangedD.founded24.A.howeverB.thereforeC.meanwhileD.by contrast25.A.differentB.wrongC.incorrectD.mistaken26.A.arrivedB.raisedC.happenedD.arose27.A.regularizedB.organizedC.correctedD.standardized28.A.stateB.countyC.worldD.country29.A.everywhereB.anywhereC.nowhereD.somewhere30.A.was provedB.has been provedC.was provingD.proved答案21. C. 時區(qū)time zone, 是固定詞組。22. D. 人們習以為常了，所以很少想到它，選rarely, 經常想起、從不想起和只想起它都不合理。23. B. 句意應為每個地區(qū)都確立自己的時間，只有establish可以表示建立制度。24. A.根據上下文可判斷出此處為轉折對比關系， 而by contrast 表示相反的對比，所以選however。25. C. 根據“太陽時”，只要離開幾英里，表就會有一些不準，而不是不同、錯誤或誤解。26. D. 需要出現(xiàn)應該搭配的動詞是arise。27. A. 是需要調整時間，而不是使時間有組織、改變或標準化。28. D. 根據上下文，是在美國境內有300多個地區(qū)時。29. A. 根據文意，火車不可能在每個地方都準時，所以選everywhere, 和impossible 構成部分否定。30. D該系統(tǒng)被證明很幫助，應該用prove的主動形式，時態(tài)用一般過去時。2語法填空 閱讀下面短文，按照句子結構的語法性和上下文連貫的要求，在空格處填入一個適當的詞或使用括號中詞語的正確形式填空，并將答案填寫在答題卡標號為31-40的相應位置上。字數：147完成時間：8分鐘難度：* Usually male butterflies are more brightly colored than the female. The female have bigger and heavier bodies, 31 they carry the eggs. The bright colors of the male help to attract the female, and the duller colors of the female make them 32 likely to be caught by enemies before they 33 (lay) their eggs. 34 butterflies have a bright pattern colors on the upper surface of their wings which are shown 35 flying. But when they rest on a tree or 36 (leaf) they close their wings. On the undersides of their wings there are green and brown marks 37 look like the tree or leaves. They are then difficult to 38 (see). Many butterflies have round marks on their wings that look like eyes. When they are resting, their wings are closed, and these cannot be seen When a bird sees 39 , and begins to attack it, the butterfly 40 open its wings. The bird thinks that it sees two eyes staring at it, and so it is frightened, and flies away.答案31since 321ess 33have laid 34Some 35whenwhile 36leaves 37whichthat 38be seen 39one 40would 31since，“由于，既然”表原因。 321ess，從上下文可知此處是“雌飛蛾的較死板的顏色使她們在產完卵之前較少有可能被敵人抓住”。 33have laid，由before可知考查動詞的現(xiàn)在完成時態(tài)。 34Some，不定代詞，“一些”。 35whenwhile，whenwhile+ving分詞相當于由when引導的時間狀語從句，“正在飛時”。 36leaves，leaf的復數形式是leaves。 37whichthat，關系代詞，引導限制性定語從句? 38be seen，考查動詞不定式的被動語態(tài)，意為“然后他們很難被看見”。 39one，不定代詞，指代任意一只butterfly。 40would，表一種必然的動作或經常的動作。3閱讀理解 閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D項中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。詞數：334完成時間：7分鐘難度：* Yi So-yeon, an engineer from Seoul, returned to Earth on Saturday after 11 days aboard the International Space Station (ISS), along with Russian cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko and US astronaut Peggy Whitson. A technical problem turned a routine (常規(guī)) return to Earth into a sharper than usual descent (下降) that tested the group members' stamina and courage. They landed in the Kazakh steppes ( 大草原) about 420km (260 miles) wide of their target. "During the descent there was some kind of fire outside the Soyuz capsule because we were going through the atmosphere," Yi said. "At first I was afraid, but the two other guys looked okay, so I tried to look okay too." Yi smiled and joked her way through a 10-minute news briefing at Star City, the wooded Sovietera cosmonaut training centre on the edge of Moscow. However, Malenchenko and Whitson looked tired and thin after nearly six months in space. Their answers were short and Whitson needed support to balance when she walked. The 29-year-old Yi has become famous in South Korea since the take-off but she brushed this aside and said she has had little contact with friends or family since returning. "In fact, they are the heroes right now," Yi said, referring to Malenchenko and Whitson. "I'm just a beginner and a little ashamed to say that I am a hero." She did, though, relate a more light-hearted incident on the ISS. "I sang 'Fly Me to the Moon" Yi said about the 1950s pop song. "It's my favorite song from university although at that time I didn't know I would be an astronaut." The capsule's so-called "ballistic" re-entering made the group members face twice the usual pull from the centre of the earth. The flames Yi described may have been caused by friction (摩擦) heating the capsule as it fell through the atmosphere. Whitson told reporters that Saturday's ballistic landing, was irregular but not an emergency. "The Soyuz has been through its history very reliable and there has obviously been some issue in the last couple of descents which went ballistic, but I'm sure the engineers will determine what the problems are and get them fixed," she said. In October, a Soyuz capsule carrying Malaysia's first space tourist touched down about 200 km (125 miles) off course in a similar ballistic landing caused by a technical problem. The Soyuz is the world's longest-serving manned space capsule. An early version of the craft, the Vostok, carried the first person into space in 1961. Whitson, 48, has become the American with the longest amount of time in space with 377 days.41. What's the main idea of the passage? A. Flight in space is very dangerous B. Not everybody can go into space C. Fearful landing tests the Korean astronaut D. Yi didn't know she would be an astronaut when she was young42. The reason why Yi Suo-yeon felt afraid at first was that _. A. a fire was caused by the friction B. she had no such experience before C. she was not brave enough D. the other two didn't help her43. From the passage, we can learn that _. A. Yi So-yeon, a space tourist came from South Korea B. Whitson became energetic when they landed on earth C. the two other guys were not afraid during the descent D. the Soyuz, an unmanned space capsule, had a long history44. The underlined phrase in this passage means _. A. out of work B. out of control C. in the wrong direction D. in danger45. We can conclude from this passage that _. A. experience is very important for astronauts to ensure safety B. Yi Suo-yeon will never return to the space station C. people are not willing to experience the space flight D. we should draw a lesson from the accident答案 本文講述Yi Suo-yeon與另外兩名宇航員在太空站11天后返回的不平凡經歷。 41. C。主旨大意題。令人恐懼的著陸讓進入太空的韓國宇航員經受了一次考驗。42. B。細節(jié)理解題。根據第六段推理得出, Yi開始時恐懼的原因是以前沒有過這種經歷。43. C。由“At first I was afraid, but the two other guys looked okay.”判斷得出答案。44. C。詞意猜測題。off course偏離軌道。45. A。推理判斷題。有上下文推理可得:飛行員的經驗在旅途中能夠對安全起很大作用。4寫作訓練 請根據下列信息，用英語寫一篇關于2008年諾貝爾獎化學獎得主華人科學家錢永健教授的簡介 寫作內容 錢永健教授的簡介提示：姓名：錢永健國籍：美國出生年月：1952年出生地：紐約獲獎及相關情況：2008年諾貝爾化學獎，其研究為生物和醫(yī)學試驗帶來革命。其父親是名機械工程師，堂叔是我國著名科學家錢學森。錢永健教授是自諾貝爾獎頒發(fā)逾100多年來，第七位獲諾貝爾獎的華人科學家。教育及工作經歷：16歲獲“少年諾貝爾獎” ，20歲，在哈佛大學獲得物理和化學學士學位，現(xiàn)供職美國加州大學圣迭戈分校化學及藥理系。寫作要求 1只能使用5個句子表達全部內容： 2文中不能出現(xiàn)真實姓名和學校名稱。評分標準 句子結構準確，信息內容完整，篇章結構連貫。寫作向導 1時態(tài)：人物介紹應根據人物不同時期做的事情來使用不同的時態(tài)。 2可用詞匯與句型：the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for2008諾貝爾化學獎，Roger Y.
