Dear Diary
Many people have the habit of writing a diary. They try to describe clearly and remember correctly all that they see and admire. The word “diary” comes from the Latin word “diarium”, which means “daily allowance”. ____76____ Some experts suggest that keeping a diary is a good form of self-study.
In America, from the 1940s through the 1980s, a diary was thought of mostly as a way to express one’s deepest thoughts while keeping notations about the day. In those times, writing in a diary was like writing to a friend. Many times, movies would show a teenage girl beginning to write in her diary while she said aloud “Dear diary,...” ____77____
Private diaries may have historical significance long after the author’s death. Those diaries are regarded as the result of how a particular author experienced all the things around. ____78____ A diary kept by a Jewish girl by the name of Anne Frank documented her experiences while she hid from the Nazis in World War II. Her diary has become one of the world’s most widely read books. Samuel Pepys, who lived during the 17th century, is still very famous today. His diary was also an important documentation of history. ____79____ Pepys took diary writing from the general area of business to personal preference. Reading his diary is extremely interesting, and it makes his life all the more real to us.
____80____ The electronic version of the diary, the blog, has made it much more than a personal account of the day’s events. There are blogs to document recipes, traveling, product announcements, and anything else that needs to be recorded over time. Search engines like Technorati.com have been created to keep track of millions of blogs that are available for anyone. Diary has become more popular than ever.
A. It refers to a book consisting of many small parts of writings by date.
B. More and more personal diaries have given the attention to public interest.
C. They’ve proved that writing diaries is highly beneficial to historical development.
D. By extension the term “diary” has been used to mean the publication in some way.
E. It gave his clear understanding of some big events such as the Great Fire of London.
F. They show how people accepted or resisted the time and the place in which they lived.
G. What followed was a summary of the day filled with a strong feeling such as love or hate.

【答案】61. what
62. to open
63. across 64. has recorded
65. who
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了一种动物追踪芯片的功能、尺寸、数据记录成果及研究团队构成。
【61题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:威尔逊教授解释说,这种芯片的功能与我们的智能手机或健身监测器完全相同,能够持续追踪并记录佩戴者的位置和运动。空处引导宾语从句,作does的宾语,且从句中缺少宾语,此时应用连接代词what引导宾语从句,此处表示智能手机或健身监测器所能做的事。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:成为第一个打开那本小说的人,这是非常令人兴奋的。句中已有谓语动词is,空处应填非谓语动词。此处为the first person to do sth.,其中不定式作后置定语修饰person,表示“第一个做某事的人”,因此空处应填to open。
【63题详解】
考查副词。句意:这种早期的芯片比现在的版本约大五倍,尺寸为27毫米宽、4毫米厚,重1.2克。此处描述芯片的尺寸,across在这里是副词,常出现在“数词+单位+across”结构中,表示“横宽、直径”,用以说明物体的横向跨度。
【64题详解】
考查时态。句意:到目前为止,斯旺西大学的研究小组已经记录了1000多只动物和100个不同物种的生活。根据时间状语So far可知,句子应用现在完成时,表示从过去持续到现在的动作。主语the group为单数,助动词应用has,空处填has recorded。
【65题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:他的团队由学者、博士后和学生组成,他们花费数月时间筛选芯片收集的所有数据。空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词academics, postdocs and students,指人,且从句中缺少主语,应用关系代词who引导。
B
阅读下列短文,根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个恰当的单词,在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式作答。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
“Robots are just a bunch of metal,” ____66____ (say) one engineer. “If you are scared, then you are scared of the people building them.” So what do engineers think we should be afraid of?
Nanotechnology is the science which involves ____67____ (develop) and making extremely small but very powerful machines. Some engineers suggest that with these new developments come “severe dangers” if they ____68____ (use) inappropriately. Its theory goes ____69____ “the small size and rapid potential of nano-built weaponry (武器) will make it difficult to control and hard to keep out of the hands of terrorists.” And this is a view shared by some artificial intelligence experts. “With robots… if it makes an error, you can unplug (拔掉) it and shut it down. But if you have lots of nano-built weapons, which are ____70____ (extreme) small, there is no way you can do the same thing.”
【答案】66. says##said
67. developing
68. are used
69. that 70. extremely
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了工程师和人工智能专家的相关观点,指出相比机器人,不合理使用纳米技术会带来更难管控的严重危险,尤其是纳米武器极易落入恐怖分子手中且难以管控。
【66题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:一位工程师说:“机器人不过是一堆金属。”此处主语one engineer是第三人称单数,全文时态为一般现在时,若用一般现在时谓语动词需用第三人称单数形式says;若描述过去工程师发表该言论的动作,也可用一般过去时said。
【67题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:纳米技术是一门涉及开发和制造极其微小但功能强大的机器的科学。动词involve后接动词时,需要使用动名词形式作宾语,因此develop要变为developing。
【68题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:一些工程师提出,如果这些新进展被不当使用,会带来“严重危险”。句中主语they指代前文的these new developments,为复数,和提示词use之间是被动关系,条件状语从句用一般现在时,用are used。
【69题详解】
考查同位语从句。句意:该理论称:“纳米制造武器的小体积和快速发展的潜力将使其难以管控,也很难避免落入恐怖分子手中。”theory goes that…为固定表达表示“该理论称……”,that引导同位语从句,在从句中只起连接作用,不作句子成分,不能省略。
【70题详解】
考查副词。句意:但如果你有很多纳米制造的武器,它们极其微小,你就没办法做同样的事。此处需要用副词修饰后面的形容词small,因此形容词extreme要变为副词extremely,意为“极其;非常”。
C
