It hopes to become the most important encyclopedia again. An encyclopedia has information about many different things. It includes articles on topics like animals, science, and so on. Salesmen used to go to houses and knock on doors selling Encyclopedia Britannica. It cost a lot of money, but many people were willing to buy it. They thought Britannica was the best encyclopedia. Several years ago, the company stopped publishing the books. It put the whole encyclopedia on the internet. However, Britannica online is not as popular as some other online encyclopedias. About half of Britannica’s articles are free, while almost all of the articles on other online encyclopedias are free. However, the president of Britannica has a plan. He wants to offer the entire encyclopedia online for free. The company hopes more people will read it. Britannica began in Scotland nearly 250 years ago. It moved to Chicago in 1935. In 1990, the company sold more than 100,000 sets of books. It was Britannica’s best year. Book sales dropped after the Internet became popular. People stopped getting information only from books. They began getting it online as well. Some online encyclopedias started in the early 21st century. It was the beginning of the end of Encyclopedia Britannica books. In this competition, Britannica is the underdog. Some online encyclopedias have millions of articles. Britannica has only 106000. However, “Britannica’s articles are more trustworthy,” some readers said. It’s said that each Britannica article is checked by experts. These experts make sure the articles are correct. Britannica covers most of the same general subjects as other online encyclopedias, but finding its articles can be more difficult. The Britannica page also has many ads. The ads help support the company. 21. Why is online Britannica less popular than other online encyclopedias? A. More people like to read other online encyclopedias. B. There are fewer articles in other online encyclopedias. C. The readers can read more free articles in other online encyclopedias. D. Other online encyclopedias cover most of the same general subjects as Britannica. 22. When might people become less interested in Encyclopedia Britannica books? A. In 1935. B. In 2002. C. In 1991. D. In 1990. 23. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “underdog” in Paragraph 3? A. Little dog B. Loser C. Winner D. Luckier one 24. Why do Britannica’s pages have ads? A. To make its website popular. B. To make it more user-friendly. C. To make money for the company. D. To help other companies earn money. B Water is important to all living things but some areas in the world are short of water a lot. So we should try to protect and save water. A group of students from Zhejiang University have successfully developed an “air hand-washing machine”. The machine uses an infrared ray induction system (红外线感应系统), which can feel the presence of our hands. If it feels there are hands, the water with the air will come from the tap. And it has been proven that it is nearly as effective as traditional hand-washing. It uses only ten percent of the water that regular hand-washing does. The students have even set up a company to introduce the product to the public. Li Qizhang, a member of the team that developed the machine, told a reporter that a model of their machine had already been placed in a classroom building at the university and that it worked very well. In 2014, a student called Chen Puyang first thought of the idea while he was washing his hands. Washing one’s hands uses a lot of water, Chen thought. Would it be possible to replace the water with air? Others may not give the question a second thought. However, for Chen and Li, who were studying fluid mechanics (流体力学) at the time, this was considered to be an excellent idea. Soon, Chen, Li and several classmates started on the project. After a year of research, the team came up with a gravity-driven (重力驱动) hand-washing machine successfully. 25. The underlined word “presence” means “______” in Paragraph 2． A. 形状 B. 存在 C. 距离 D. 影响 26. The underlined sentence in the 4th paragraph means “______”. A. other people may spend a second thinking about the question again B. other people may think it is impossible to use air instead of water C. other people may not think or worry about the question at all D. other people may think there is no answer to the question 27. We can infer from the passage that ______ . A. the air hand-washing machine will be expensive B. we can wash our hands clean without any electricity C. we can buy the “air hand-washing machine” in the shop now D. the students developed the machine by the knowledge of fluid mechanics 28. Which of the following is TRUE about the “air hand-washing machine”? A. A company was set up to produce the machine. B. It doesn’t need any water when you wash your hands. C. It was invented by two students from Zhejiang University. D. The idea of the machine came to Chen’s mind in a sudden. C On February 9th, 2013, Sarah Darling was walking along the street when she met a homeless man named Billy Ray Harris. She reached into her change purse, emptied out all the coins she had, and gave them to the homeless man. Neither of them realized that this small, generous act would change their lives. Sarah didn’t realize that she had given Billy not only all her change but her diamond ring that she had put in her change purse earlier until the next morning. She and her husband, Bill Krejci, rushed to see if they could find Billy. The homeless man was not only in the same place, but also immediately returned the ring. The grateful couple paid him back for his honesty by emptying out their pockets of all the money they had. Bill Krejci, a web designer, felt that he needed to do something for this amazingly honest man. So on February 18th, he set up a special web page to raise money for him. In just four days, Billy received over $85,000, and there seemed to be no end yet. That is not enough. Billy is living with a person who is generous instead of living on the streets. And that’s not all—thanks to the news report, he got together again with his elder brother, Edwin Harris, whom he had been unable to find for 27 years. All the good luck is just because Billy did the right thing, returning something that did not belong to him. 29. When did Sarah realize that she had also given Billy her diamond ring? A. On February 9th, 2013． B. On February 10th, 2013． C. On February 18th, 2013． D. On February 22nd, 2013． 30. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Billy is living with a generous person B. Billy has found his brother. C. Billy bought a diamond ring. D. Billy appeared in the news report. 31. The underlined word “That” in Paragraph 4 refers to “______”. A. Returning the ring B. Setting up a page C. Living in the streets D. Receiving money 32. What’s the main idea of this passage? A. A generous woman changed her own life. B. A kind man set up a special web page. C. A homeless man returned a diamond ring. D. Many people donated a lot of money. D By December 1914, Britain and Germany had been fighting against each other in World War I for over four months. On Christmas Day, something amazing happened. Soldiers on both sides temporarily (临时地) stopped fighting and enjoyed a day of peace, It all started on the morning of December 25th when the German soldiers climbed out of their deep trenches (战壕) and crossed the battlefield (战场). “Merry Christmas!” they shouted towards the British. Although the British soldiers did not trust the Germans at first, they did not shoot. Slowly, the British understood that the Germans wanted a short truce (停战) to celebrate Christmas in peace. After a short talk, the British soldiers agreed to it and put down their guns. Both sides exchanged small presents and cigarettes with their enemies. The Germans and British agreed to let each other collect their dead soldiers from the area. A German soldier who was a barber before the war gave a British soldier a trim. One of the British soldiers brought out a soccer ball and both sides kicked it around. The Germans and British stopped fighting for most of the day. Some people got very unhappy about this. The leaders on both sides were especially furious. They wanted the men to keep fighting, even on Christmas. Newspapers did not report about the truce until a week later. In the next few years of the war, there were some Christmas truces but not as many as in 1914. However, the Christmas Truce of 1914 is still remembered today. It is an example of how people can stop fighting and come together in peace. 33. According to the article, what happened on Christmas Day in 1914? A. The British and Germans fought a war. B. World War I began. C. The British and Germans stopped fighting. D. The British and Germans went back home. 34. After a short talk with the Germans, the British soldiers______ .

Buy cigarettes. B. Post presents. C. Shoot their guns. D. Collect their dead soldiers. 36. In the next few years of the war, there were______ between the British and Germans. A. fewer Christmas truces B. more Christmas truces C. more and more presents given D. fewer and fewer presents given 第二节 阅读短文，从所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余选项。 As we know, there are differences between Western culture and Chinese culture. ___37___ Let’s look at some words about animals and plants. Most expressions in Chinese about the dog, for example, “a homeless dog” “a mad dog” “a running dog” and “a dog catching a mouse” have bad meanings. ___38___ In English, people use the dog to describe good actions. For example, “you are a lucky dog” means you are a lucky person. And “every dog has its day” means each person has good luck sometimes. To describe a person’s serious illness, they say “as sick as a dog”. The word “dog-tired” means “very tired”. ___39___ But in Western culture, “cat” is often used to describe a woman who is unkind. There are many other examples of how “cat” is used differently as well. The rose is regarded as a symbol of love in China and some Western countries.

In 1879, sixteen-year-old Ford left home for the nearby city of Detroit to work. In 1891, Ford became an engineer with the Edison Illuminating Company of Detroit. Then, he became the Chief Engineer in 1893. This gave him enough time and money to pay attention to his personal experiments. Henry Ford realized his dream of producing a car with the Model T (T型车) in 1908. This car started a new era (时代) in personal transportation. It was easy to operate, and immediately became a huge success. By 1918, half of all cars in America were Model Ts. To meet the growing need for the Model T, Ford’s company opened a large factory. In this factory, workers worked at the same place all the time. A belt sent the parts of the cars to workers. They added one part to each car as it moved past them on the line. The introduction of the moving assembly line (装配线) greatly improved production of cars and cut down the costs. Ford’s production of Model Ts made his company the largest car company in the world. The company began building the world’s largest industrial center along the banks of the Rouge River during the late 1910s and early 1920s. By September 1927, all steps in the producing process took place at the vast Rouge Plant, characterizing Henry Ford’s idea of mass production (大批量生产). 61. When did Henry Ford begin to show his interest in machinery? ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 62. What did Henry Ford achieve in 1908? ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 63. Why did the company open a large factory? ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 64. What job do you like? Why?

It hopes to become the most important encyclopedia again. An encyclopedia has information about many different things. It includes articles on topics like animals, science, and so on. Salesmen used to go to houses and knock on doors selling Encyclopedia Britannica. It cost a lot of money, but many people were willing to buy it. They thought Britannica was the best encyclopedia. Several years ago, the company stopped publishing the books. It put the whole encyclopedia on the internet. However, Britannica online is not as popular as some other online encyclopedias. About half of Britannica’s articles are free, while almost all of the articles on other online encyclopedias are free. However, the president of Britannica has a plan. He wants to offer the entire encyclopedia online for free. The company hopes more people will read it. Britannica began in Scotland nearly 250 years ago. It moved to Chicago in 1935. In 1990, the company sold more than 100,000 sets of books. It was Britannica’s best year. Book sales dropped after the Internet became popular. People stopped getting information only from books. They began getting it online as well. Some online encyclopedias started in the early 21st century. It was the beginning of the end of Encyclopedia Britannica books. In this competition, Britannica is the underdog. Some online encyclopedias have millions of articles. Britannica has only 106000. However, “Britannica’s articles are more trustworthy,” some readers said. It’s said that each Britannica article is checked by experts. These experts make sure the articles are correct. Britannica covers most of the same general subjects as other online encyclopedias, but finding its articles can be more difficult. The Britannica page also has many ads. The ads help support the company. 21. Why is online Britannica less popular than other online encyclopedias? A. More people like to read other online encyclopedias. B. There are fewer articles in other online encyclopedias. C. The readers can read more free articles in other online encyclopedias. D. Other online encyclopedias cover most of the same general subjects as Britannica. 22. When might people become less interested in Encyclopedia Britannica books? A. In 1935. B. In 2002. C. In 1991. D. In 1990. 23. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “underdog” in Paragraph 3? A. Little dog B. Loser C. Winner D. Luckier one 24. Why do Britannica’s pages have ads? A. To make its website popular. B. To make it more user-friendly. C. To make money for the company. D. To help other companies earn money. 【答案】21. C 22. B 23. B 24. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了《大英百科全书》的发展历程。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据“About half of Britannica’s articles are free, while almost all of the articles on other online encyclopedias are free.”可知，其他在线百科几乎所有文章都免费，而《大英百科全书》只有一半文章免费，所以读者能在其他在线百科读到更多免费文章，导致它没那么受欢迎。故选C。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Book sales dropped after the Internet became popular. Some online encyclopedias started in the early 21st century.”可知，互联网普及后（21世纪初），《大英百科全书》书籍销量下降，人们对其书籍兴趣降低，2002年属于21世纪初。故选B。 【23题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Some online encyclopedias have millions of articles. Britannica has only 106000. However, Britannica's articles are more trustworthy... In this competition, Britannica is the underdog.”可知，在和其他有大量文章的在线百科竞争中，《大英百科全书》处于劣势，underdog“失败者；处于劣势的人（或团队等）”。故选B。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The Britannica page also has many ads. The ads help support the company.”可知，广告是为了给公司赚钱，支撑公司运营。故选C。 B Water is important to all living things, but some areas in the world are short of water a lot. So we should try to protect and save water. A group of students from Zhejiang University have successfully developed an “air hand-washing machine”. The machine uses an infrared ray induction system (红外线感应系统), which can feel the presence of our hands. If it feels there are hands, the water with the air will come from the tap. And it has been proven that it is nearly as effective as traditional hand-washing. It uses only ten percent of the water that regular hand-washing does. The students have even set up a company to introduce the product to the public. Li Qizhang, a member of the team that developed the machine, told a reporter that a model of their machine had already been placed in a classroom building at the university and that it worked very well. In 2014, a student called Chen Puyang first thought of the idea while he was washing his hands. Washing one’s hands uses a lot of water, Chen thought. Would it be possible to replace the water with air? Others may not give the question a second thought. However, for Chen and Li, who were studying fluid mechanics (流体力学) at the time, this was considered to be an excellent idea. Soon, Chen, Li and several classmates started on the project. After a year of research, the team came up with a gravity-driven (重力驱动) hand-washing machine successfully. 25. The underlined word “presence” means “______” in Paragraph 2． A. 形状 B. 存在 C. 距离 D. 影响 26. The underlined sentence in the 4th paragraph means “______”. A. other people may spend a second thinking about the question again B. other people may think it is impossible to use air instead of water C. other people may not think or worry about the question at all D. other people may think there is no answer to the question 27. We can infer from the passage that ______ . A. the air hand-washing machine will be expensive B. we can wash our hands clean without any electricity C. we can buy the “air hand-washing machine” in the shop now D. the students developed the machine by the knowledge of fluid mechanics 28. Which of the following is TRUE about the “air hand-washing machine”? A. A company was set up to produce the machine. B. It doesn’t need any water when you wash your hands. C. It was invented by two students from Zhejiang University. D. The idea of the machine came to Chen’s mind in a sudden. 【答案】25. B 26. C 27. D 28. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了浙江大学学生发明的一种“空气洗手装置”，大大节约了水资源。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第2段“The machine uses an infrared ray induction system, which can feel the presence of our hands.”可知，该装置使用红外线感应系统，可以感知我们手的存在。“presence”在句中指“存在”，与选项B“存在”相符。故选B。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第4段“Others may not give the question a second thought.”可知，其他人可能不会对这个问题多加思考，与选项C“其他人可能根本不会思考或担心这个问题”相符。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第4段“Chen and Li, who were studying fluid mechanics at the time, this was considered to be an excellent idea.”可知，当时正在学习流体力学的陈和李认为这是一个绝妙的想法；结合文章最后一段“the team came up with a gravity-driven (重力驱动) hand-washing machine successfully.”可知，团队通过研究成功开发了重力驱动的洗手装置。由此可以推断，学生们运用了流体力学知识开发该装置。故选D。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第4段“In 2014, a student called Chen Puyang first thought of the idea while he was washing his hands.”可知，2014年，一位名叫陈濮阳的学生在洗手的时候第一次想到了这个主意。故选D。 C On February 9th, 2013, Sarah Darling was walking along the street when she met a homeless man named Billy Ray Harris. She reached into her change purse, emptied out all the coins she had, and gave them to the homeless man. Neither of them realized that this small, generous act would change their lives. Sarah didn’t realize that she had given Billy not only all her change but her diamond ring that she had put in her change purse earlier until the next morning. She and her husband, Bill Krejci, rushed to see if they could find Billy. The homeless man was not only in the same place, but also immediately returned the ring. The grateful couple paid him back for his honesty by emptying out their pockets of all the money they had. Bill Krejci, a web designer, felt that he needed to do something for this amazingly honest man. So on February 18th, he set up a special web page to raise money for him. In just four days, Billy received over $85,000, and there seemed to be no end yet. That is not enough. Billy is living with a person who is generous instead of living on the streets. And that’s not all—thanks to the news report, he got together again with his elder brother, Edwin Harris, whom he had been unable to find for 27 years. All the good luck is just because Billy did the right thing, returning something that did not belong to him. 29. When did Sarah realize that she had also given Billy her diamond ring? A. On February 9th, 2013． B. On February 10th, 2013． C. On February 18th, 2013． D. On February 22nd, 2013． 30. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Billy is living with a generous person B. Billy has found his brother. C. Billy bought a diamond ring. D. Billy appeared in the news report. 31. The underlined word “That” in Paragraph 4 refers to “______”. A. Returning the ring B. Setting up a page C. Living in the streets D. Receiving money 32. What’s the main idea of this passage? A. A generous woman changed her own life. B. A kind man set up a special web page. C. A homeless man returned a diamond ring. D. Many people donated a lot of money. 【答案】29. B 30. C 31. D 32. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了2013年2月9日，萨拉・达林给了无家可归的比利・雷・哈里斯所有的硬币，后来才发现还把钻戒也给了他。第二天，比利归还了钻戒，萨拉和丈夫很感激，丈夫为比利建立网页筹款，比利不仅收到大量捐款，还和失散27年的哥哥重逢，这一切都源于比利归还不属于自己的东西这一诚实行为。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Sarah didn’t realize that she had given Billy not only all her change but her diamond ring that she had put in her change purse earlier until the next morning.”可知，2月9日的第二天是2月10日，所以萨拉在2013年2月10日意识到自己把钻戒也给了比利。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。通读原文可知，文中提到比利和一个慷慨的人生活在一起、找到了哥哥、出现在新闻报道中，但没提到比利买了钻戒。故选C。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Billy received over $85,000”可知，这里的That指的是收到钱这件事。故选D。 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。通读原文可知，文章主要围绕无家可归的比利归还钻戒这一事件展开，讲述后续一系列因他诚实行为带来的好结果，所以主旨是一个无家可归的人归还了钻戒。故选C。 D By December 1914, Britain and Germany had been fighting against each other in World War I for over four months. On Christmas Day, something amazing happened. Soldiers on both sides temporarily (临时地) stopped fighting and enjoyed a day of peace, It all started on the morning of December 25th when the German soldiers climbed out of their deep trenches (战壕) and crossed the battlefield (战场). “Merry Christmas!” they shouted towards the British. Although the British soldiers did not trust the Germans at first, they did not shoot. Slowly, the British understood that the Germans wanted a short truce (停战) to celebrate Christmas in peace. After a short talk, the British soldiers agreed to it and put down their guns. Both sides exchanged small presents and cigarettes with their enemies. The Germans and British agreed to let each other collect their dead soldiers from the area. A German soldier who was a barber before the war gave a British soldier a trim. One of the British soldiers brought out a soccer ball and both sides kicked it around. The Germans and British stopped fighting for most of the day. Some people got very unhappy about this. The leaders on both sides were especially furious. They wanted the men to keep fighting, even on Christmas. Newspapers did not report about the truce until a week later. In the next few years of the war, there were some Christmas truces but not as many as in 1914. However, the Christmas Truce of 1914 is still remembered today. It is an example of how people can stop fighting and come together in peace. 33. According to the article, what happened on Christmas Day in 1914? A. The British and Germans fought a war. B. World War I began. C. The British and Germans stopped fighting. D. The British and Germans went back home. 34. After a short talk with the Germans, the British soldiers______ .

Buy cigarettes. B. Post presents. C. Shoot their guns. D. Collect their dead soldiers. 36. In the next few years of the war, there were______ between the British and Germans. A. fewer Christmas truces B. more Christmas truces C. more and more presents given D. fewer and fewer presents given 【答案】33. C 34. D 35. D 36. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述一战中1914年圣诞节英德士兵临时停战互动，后续类似停战减少，此事至今被铭记。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“On Christmas Day, something amazing happened. Soldiers on both sides temporarily (临时地) stopped fighting and enjoyed a day of peace”可知，1914年圣诞节那天，英国和德国士兵暂时停止了战斗，享受了一天的和平。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“After a short talk, the British soldiers agreed to it and put down their guns. Both sides exchanged small presents and cigarettes with their enemies”可知，与德国人简短交谈后，英国士兵同意停战并放下了枪，双方还互相交换了小礼物和香烟。故选D。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The Germans and British agreed to let each other collect their dead soldiers from the area”可知，德国人和英国人同意让对方从该地区运回阵亡士兵。故选D。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In the next few years of the war, there were some Christmas truces but not as many as in 1914”可知，在战争接下来的几年里，虽然也有一些圣诞节停战，但没有1914年那么多，即圣诞节停战次数变少了。故选A。 第二节 阅读短文，从所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余选项。 As we know, there are differences between Western culture and Chinese culture. ___37___ Let’s look at some words about animals and plants. Most expressions in Chinese about the dog, for example, “a homeless dog” “a mad dog” “a running dog” and “a dog catching a mouse” have bad meanings. ___38___ In English, people use the dog to describe good actions. For example, “you are a lucky dog” means you are a lucky person. And “every dog has its day” means each person has good luck sometimes. To describe a person’s serious illness, they say “as sick as a dog”. The word “dog-tired” means “very tired”. ___39___ But in Western culture, “cat” is often used to describe a woman who is unkind. There are many other examples of how “cat” is used differently as well. The rose is regarded as a symbol of love in China and some Western countries. People think the rose stands for love, peace, courage and friendship. ___40___ We can learn about many differences in cultures by comparing how some words are used. A. However, Chinese love cats very much. B. Everyone knows that cats are not as clever as dogs. C. We can see differences when we pay attention to the way words are used. D.

A 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕中西方文化差异展开，以动物和植物相关词汇为例，主要阐述了不同文化中这些词汇使用方式的不同，体现文化差异。 【37题详解】 根据前文“As we know, there are differences between Western culture and Chinese culture.”以及后文“Let’s look at some words about animals and plants”可知，我们可以通过比较一些词汇的使用方式了解许多文化差异。C选项“当我们注意单词的使用方式时，我们可以看到差异。”符合语境，故选C。 【38题详解】 根据前文“‘a homeless dog’ ‘a mad dog’ ‘a running dog’ and ‘a dog catching a mouse’ have bad meanings.”可知中文里关于狗的表达多含贬义，根据“In English, people use the dog to describe good actions.”可知英语里用狗描述好行为，E选项“但在西方国家，狗被认为是诚实的、人类的好朋友”，对比中西方对狗的不同看法，衔接自然，符合语境。故选E。 【39题详解】 根据后文“But in Western culture, ‘cat’ is often used to describe a woman who is unkind”可知，西方文化中“cat”常用来描述不友善的女人。A选项“然而，中国人非常爱猫”对比中西方对猫的不同态度，符合逻辑，符合语境，故选A。 【40题详解】 根据后文“We can learn about many differences in cultures by comparing how some words are used.”可知，此处应是在不同的文化中，关于植物和动物的词语有好有坏的用法。D选项“关于植物和动物的词在不同的文化中有好的或坏的用法”总结动植物词汇在文化中的使用差异，契合后文内容，符合语境。故选D。 二、完形填空(共10小题，每小题1分;满分10分) 二、完形填空 Love, joy and the warm feeling of getting together don’t cost a thing.

While my parents were busy with their chores, I ___44___ walked out to the garage and found the box. I was so ___45___ and I knew as soon as I opened that magical box, my bright, shiny pogo stick would appear. No such luck! Inside the box was a ___46___ old broom (扫帚).

The light is still working today. 【答案】51. inventors 52. to get 53. a 54. it 55. successfully 56. for 57. that 58. studying 59. mother’s 60. longest 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了发明家托马斯·爱迪生的生平，包括他的发明、制作灯泡的过程、短暂的上学经历、在母亲帮助下学习的情况等。 【51题详解】 句意：美国的托马斯·爱迪生（1847—1931）是世界上最伟大的发明家之一。根据“He made over 2000 inventions in his life”可知，他一生有2000多项发明，由此可判断他是发明家。“invent”是动词，意为“发明”，其名词形式“inventor”表示“发明家”，“one of the + 形容词最高级 + 可数名词复数”是固定结构，需用“inventor”的复数形式“inventors”。故填inventors。 【52题详解】 句意：为了获得适合灯泡的灯丝，他尝试了1600多种不同的材料。根据“Thomas Edison spent a long time making the light bulb”可知，爱迪生花了很长时间制作灯泡，尝试不同材料的目的就是得到合适的灯丝。此处用动词不定式表目的，“get”意为“获得，得到”，其不定式形式“to get”符合语境。故填to get。 【53题详解】 句意：他用了像一个男人胡须上的毛发之类的东西。文章此处只是泛指“一个男人的胡须”，并非特指某个人，所以用不定冠词。“man”是以辅音音素开头的单词，不定冠词需用“a”。故填a。 【54题详解】 句意：有些人认为他做不出来（灯泡）。根据前文“The most famous one was the light bulb”以及“Thomas Edison spent a long time making the light bulb”可知，爱迪生一直在努力制作灯泡，此处“有些人认为他做不出来”中的“做不出来”指的就是做不出前文提到的“灯泡”，为避免重复，用代词“it”指代“the light bulb”。故填it。 【55题详解】 句意：然而，最终他成功地制作出了第一个实用的灯泡。根据后文内容可知，爱迪生确实做出了灯泡，此处需要一个副词来修饰动词“made”，表示“成功地制作”。“success”是名词，意为“成功”，其副词形式“successfully”表示“成功地”，符合语境。故填successfully。 【56题详解】 句意：爱迪生只上了三个月学。根据“only three months”可知，此处是表示一段时间，“for + 时间段”是常用搭配，用于说明动作持续的时间，此处指“上学的时间持续了三个月”，所以用介词“for”。故填for。 【57题详解】 句意：他的老师告诉他，他太笨了，什么都学不会。根据“so stupid”以及“he couldn’t learn anything”可知，此处是“so...that...”的句型，意为“如此……以至于……”，用来引导结果状语从句。故填that。 【58题详解】 句意：但在他母亲的帮助下，他坚持学习。根据“kept”可知，“keep doing sth”意为“坚持做某事”，所以此处需用“study”的动名词形式“studying”。故填studying。 【59题详解】 句意：但在他母亲的帮助下，他坚持学习。根据“help”可知，此处需要用名词所有格来表示“……的帮助”，“mother”的名词所有格形式“mother’s”，“with one’s help”意为“在某人的帮助下”，符合语境。故填mother’s。 【60题详解】 句意：这是世界上使用寿命最长的灯泡。根据“in the world”可知，此处是在世界范围内进行比较，需用形容词的最高级形式。“long”的最高级形式“longest”，“the longest lasting”表示“使用寿命最长的”。故填longest。 四、阅读与表达(共4小题，61～63题，每小题2分，64题4分，共10分) Henry Ford was born on July 30, 1863 in Michigan. At an early age, he showed an interest in mechanical (机械的) things. In 1879, sixteen-year-old Ford left home for the nearby city of Detroit to work. In 1891, Ford became an engineer with the Edison Illuminating Company of Detroit. Then, he became the Chief Engineer in 1893. This gave him enough time and money to pay attention to his personal experiments. Henry Ford realized his dream of producing a car with the Model T (T型车) in 1908. This car started a new era (时代) in personal transportation. It was easy to operate, and immediately became a huge success. By 1918, half of all cars in America were Model Ts. To meet the growing need for the Model T, Ford’s company opened a large factory. In this factory, workers worked at the same place all the time. A belt sent the parts of the cars to workers. They added one part to each car as it moved past them on the line. The introduction of the moving assembly line (装配线) greatly improved production of cars and cut down the costs. Ford’s production of Model Ts made his company the largest car company in the world. The company began building the world’s largest industrial center along the banks of the Rouge River during the late 1910s and early 1920s. By September 1927, all steps in the producing process took place at the vast Rouge Plant, characterizing Henry Ford’s idea of mass production (大批量生产). 61.
