二.阅读理解
French and American doctors have done an operation (手术) together in which the doctors were outside the operating room. This kind of operation is known as robotic operation.
Doctor Marescaux did the operation in an office in New York City last month, while a sixty-eight-year-old woman patient was in a hospital in Strasbourg, France.
A doctor in Strasbourg got the patient ready. He placed medical tools and a small video camera in her stomach area. Doctor Marescaux in New York watched the patient on a video screen. Then he used the computer to send messages to the robot machine.
The robot moved the tools that cut the woman’s gallbladder (胆囊) away. The woman got well soon after the operation and left the hospital two days later.
Experts say the main problem with such a robotic operation is based on high-speed telecommunications (通讯系统) between the doctor and the robot. Technology must be able to send a doctor’s order to a robot to move the tool quickly.
Experts also say a successful robotic operation will improve an operation. For example, the robot can make such smaller movements than a person can. A robot machine can turn tools in ways that a doctor’s hand cannot.
Doctors say such a robotic operation will make safer and better operations in the future. They say it will improve doctor training. It will also mean that doctors could do an operation on people in dangerous places far away. And it could mean that people could have operations done by top doctors without having to travel to the city where the doctors work.
1.The underlined phrase “ robotic operation” means ________.
A. a special kind of robot invented by doctors.
B. something done to mend a robot.
C. an operation done by French and American doctors.
D. an operation done far away with the help of a robot.
2.We use the robot in the operation because _________.
A. it can send messages in a high speed.
B. even a top doctor can’t do the operation himself.
C. it can make the operation safer and better.
D. operations can be done without doctors.
3.Which of the following is NOT right?
A. Robotic operation has been used in the USA.
B. Robotic operation is good for doctor training.
C. Experts speak highly of robotic operation.
D. The robot is used to watch the patient clearly.
4.What’s the best title for this passage?
A. An Operation B. Robotic Operation
C. How to do a Robotic Operation D. The problems of a Robotic Operation

—Good idea!I think they will be very ______.
A.raising; impressing B. raise; impressed C.raising; impressed D. raise; impressing

考查一般现在时的被动语态的用法。句意:你因为你的捐赠________,这些钱将会用于帮助来自贫困家庭的学生。主语和praise“赞扬”之间是动宾关系。本句又是谈论现在的事情,因此谓语动词应该用一般现在时的被动语态。“are highly praised”符合语境及语法。故选D。

五.To us, a miss is as good as a mile. 对我们来说,失之毫厘,差之千里。

1.—What movies ________ in the program?
—The Time Machine and Mission to Mars
A.were mentioned B.will be mentioned C.mentioned D.mention
【答案】A
【解析】
句意:——节目中提到了什么电影?——《时光机器》和《火星任务》。考查句子时态。根据语境和回答“The Time Machine and Mission to Mars”可知这发生在过去,此句时态是一般过去时,根据句意可知主语“What movies”和谓语动词“mention提到、说起”之间是被动关系,由此可知,此句是一般过去时的被动语态。故选A。
2..I wonder __________ the idea to Daming. He still looks angry.
A.if have you mentioned B.what have you mentioned
C.if you have mentioned D.what you have mentioned
【答案】C
【解析】
句意:我想知道你是否向大明提过这个想法。他看起来还很生气。考查宾语从句。宾语从句需用陈述句语序,AB两项都是疑问句语序,可排除。if是否,表有疑问;what什么,问事情。分析句子,可知mentioned的宾语the idea已经给出,所以宾语从句的引导词不能再用what。故选C。

French and American doctors have done an operation (手术) together in which the doctors were outside the operating room. This kind of operation is known as robotic operation.
Doctor Marescaux did the operation in an office in New York City last month, while a sixty-eight-year-old woman patient was in a hospital in Strasbourg, France.
A doctor in Strasbourg got the patient ready. He placed medical tools and a small video camera in her stomach area. Doctor Marescaux in New York watched the patient on a video screen. Then he used the computer to send messages to the robot machine.
The robot moved the tools that cut the woman’s gallbladder (胆囊) away. The woman got well soon after the operation and left the hospital two days later.
Experts say the main problem with such a robotic operation is based on high-speed telecommunications (通讯系统) between the doctor and the robot. Technology must be able to send a doctor’s order to a robot to move the tool quickly.
Experts also say a successful robotic operation will improve an operation. For example, the robot can make such smaller movements than a person can. A robot machine can turn tools in ways that a doctor’s hand cannot.
Doctors say such a robotic operation will make safer and better operations in the future. They say it will improve doctor training. It will also mean that doctors could do an operation on people in dangerous places far away. And it could mean that people could have operations done by top doctors without having to travel to the city where the doctors work.
1.The underlined phrase “ robotic operation” means ________.
A. a special kind of robot invented by doctors.
B. something done to mend a robot.
C. an operation done by French and American doctors.
D. an operation done far away with the help of a robot.
2.We use the robot in the operation because _________.
A. it can send messages in a high speed.
B. even a top doctor can’t do the operation himself.
C. it can make the operation safer and better.
D. operations can be done without doctors.
3.Which of the following is NOT right?
A. Robotic operation has been used in the USA.
B. Robotic operation is good for doctor training.
C. Experts speak highly of robotic operation.
D. The robot is used to watch the patient clearly.
4.What’s the best title for this passage?
A. An Operation B. Robotic Operation
C. How to do a Robotic Operation D. The problems of a Robotic Operation
