But nature has another way to create colour, called “structural colour”. Structural colour comes from tiny shapes on the surfaces of things like wings, feathers or shells. 1.　　　　 Now scientists have used nanotechnology(纳米技术) to make paint with structural colour.  2.　　　　 They were trying to create a special mirrored surface. But they found super-small clumps of aluminum atoms(铝原子团块) on the surface. The researchers were upset because these small clumps messed up the mirror. Then they realized that the clumps made colours when light hit them. They decided to turn their discovery into paint.  All the colours in the new paint come from aluminum. There are tiny aluminum pieces and then even smaller nanoparticles(纳米颗粒) that create the colours. The nanoparticles don’t really produce the colour. They simply reflect back a single colour.3.　　　  Because the new paint doesn’t have pigments, the paint is so light that it could reduce the amount of fuel used by planes and cars. 4.　　　　 It would only take 1.3kg of structural paint to do the same job.  5.　　　　 In regular paint, pigments break down and fade over time. That’s not true for structural colour. Once we paint something with structural colour, it should stay for centuries. What’s more, the new paint doesn’t heat up like regular paint. That’s true even for darker colours. The new paint can keep surfaces up to 16.6℃ cooler than normal paint. Using the paint on buildings in cities could help cool cities and reduce the electricity spent on air conditioning.  A.The new paint has several other advantages. B.Structural paint could save as much money as possible. C.Researchers weren’t really planning on making paint. D.The size of them determines which colour gets reflected. E.Generally, it takes about 500kg of paint to cover an airplane. F.Normally, we never see the shapes because they’re so small. G.It will probably be a while before you can use structural colour. ●Ⅵ 语法填空(每小题1.5分,满分15分) The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is the world’s largest coral reef system. 1.　　　　　　 (locate) off the coast of Queensland in north-east Australia, it is one of the few biological 2.　　　　　　 (structure) visible from space. The GBR is one of the seven wonders of the world and 3.　　　　　　 (select) as a World Heritage Site in 1981. It is blessed with breathtaking beauty with 2,900 individual reefs and 900 picturesque tropical islands 4.　　　　 (stretch) for over 2,000 kilometres. The reef structure is composed of billions of tiny organisms, 5.　　　　　　 support a wide diversity of marine life.  The sheer size of the GBR, as well as its beauty, draws people from all over the world each year. A visitor can enjoy thrilling experiences including helicopter tours, glass-bottomed boat viewing, whale watching, swimming with dolphins and so on. For Australians, the reef is 6.　　　　　　 source of pride and enjoyment, with the majority of tourists coming 7.　　　　　　 (special) to Australia to see it.  However, the GBR is 8.　　　　　　 threat. The exploitation (开发) of oil and gas is driving industrial 9.　　　　　　 (expand) along much of the northern Queensland coast. Recently, a research group has arrived in Australia to assess the condition of the GBR 10.　　　　　　 investigate concerns about damage to it. Environmentalists are demanding that all industrial development be stopped until an official review of the health of the GBR is carried out.  学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Period Two　Using language Ⅰ.1.had discovered　2.had visited　3.had quit/quit; interviewed　4.has generated　5.had rushed　6.cooked 7.had underestimated　8.has claimed　9.had been torn　10.entered Ⅱ.1.as if/though she had undergone 2.had intended to read a book/intended to have read a book 3.had already made breakfast 4.he had been defeated by his rival/opponent 5.the fire had already been put out Ⅲ.【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了农业的发展历史。 1.in　考查介词。分析可知,“…they lived…”是名词the world 的定语从句,定语从句引导词被省略,由此可推知先行词应是在从句中作宾语,即they lived in the world, “live in+名词”意为“居住在某地”。故填in。 2.what　考查名词性从句。分析句子可知,宾语从句部分缺主语,所以引导词应为连接代词。根据句意可知,此处表示“什么”。故填what。 3.and　考查连词。hunting 和gathering 为并列关系,应用连词and连接,故填and。 4.was needed　考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子可知,主语和need之间是被动关系。同时此处描述的是过去的事情,所以时态应用一般过去时。故此处应用一般过去时的被动语态。food在此处为不可数名词。故填was needed。 5.to change　考查非谓语动词。分析句意可知,此处需用不定式作后置定语修饰power。故填to change。 6.had discovered　考查动词时态和语态。分析句子可知,设空处作谓语,主语和提示词之间为主动关系。“by+过去时间”意为“到……为止”,后面的句子用过去完成时。故填had discovered。 7.seasons　考查名词复数。分析句子可知,提示词为可数名词,应用复数形式。故填seasons。 8.making　考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,make所处的分句需用非谓语动词。make use of和逻辑主语they之间是主动关系,所以此处用现在分词形式作状语。故填making。 9.the　考查冠词。with the rise of意为“随着……的崛起”,是固定短语。故填the。 10.meant　考查动词时态。分析句子可知,设空处在句中作谓语,从句时态是一般过去时,此处也应为一般过去时。故填meant。 Ⅳ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者观察螳螂引发的感悟。 1.D　根据空后“…forward to see a large praying mantis (螳螂) attached to the chain.”可知,为了看到螳螂,要俯身向前。故选D。struggle挣扎;drop掉落;put放置;bend弯曲。 2.C　根据下文not wanting to scare it away可知,为了不吓跑螳螂,要屏住呼吸,hold one’s breath“屏住呼吸”。故选C。back背部;attention注意力;breath呼吸;tool工具。 3.A　根据上文not wanting to scare it away可知,不想吓跑螳螂,所以是静静地聊天。故选A。quietly安静地;casually随意地;happily高兴地;nervously紧张地。 4.D　根据空后up and down the chain可知,螳螂在链条上爬上爬下。故选D。look看;fly飞;fall掉落;climb爬。 5.B　根据下文“…we were…to observe its slow, precise movements.”可知,螳螂仍在正常活动,说明螳螂没有受到作者一家的打扰。故选B。undoubted无疑的;unbothered不受打扰的;untouched未受影响的,原封不动的;unaccepted未被接受的。 6.C　根据下文the beautiful blessings surrounding us each day以及“…simply…the gifts of this beautiful world when I see them.”可知,作者认为能够观察到这只螳螂缓慢而精确的活动是大自然带来的美好的礼物,因此对看到这样的情景心存感激。故选C。impatient不耐烦的;frightened害怕的;grateful感激的;responsible负责的。 7.A　根据下文“…if my husband had not pointed it out.”可知,如果没有丈夫指出,作者就不会注意到螳螂。故选A。notice注意到;recognize认出;select选择;picture想象。 8.D　根据上文“We wouldn’t have…it if my husband had not pointed it out.”可知,如果没人指点,很多时候,人们没有意识到每天围绕在身边的美好事物。故选D。uncertain不确定的;proud骄傲的;ashamed羞愧的;unaware没有意识到的。 9.B　根据上文the beautiful blessings surrounding us each day以及下文“I’m learning to…my tireless pursuit of productivity and simply…the gifts of this beautiful world when I see them.”可知,作者认为观察到这只螳螂是大自然给予的美好的礼物,坐着观察一只昆虫半个小时对自己来说是个奖励,但一直不知疲倦地工作的作者不想把这一奖励视作理所当然的。故选B。courage勇气;reward回报,奖励;safety安全;wisdom智慧。 10.C　根据后文my tireless pursuit of productivity可知,作者用效率来定义自己。故选C。confidence自信;expectation期望;productivity效率;perseverance毅力。 11.B　根据空后my worth by how much I get done by the day’s end可知,作者用一天结束时完成的事情来衡量自己的价值。故选B。ignore忽视;measure衡量;lower降低;promote促进。 12.A　根据下文“…my tireless pursuit of productivity and simply…the gifts of this beautiful world when I see them.”可知,作者正在学习停止对效率的不懈追求。故选A。stop停止;keep保持;imagine想象;defend防御。 13.A　根据空后“…the gifts of this beautiful world when I see them.”可知,作者要停止过度追求效率,转而享受生活,所以看到美丽世界的馈赠时,要享受它们。故选A。enjoy享受;deliver递送;produce生产;forget忘记。 14.C　根据上文the beautiful blessings surrounding us each day以及to observe its slow, precise movements可知,作者意识到每天都有美丽的事物围绕着自己,像这只缓慢而精确活动的螳螂一样,每一种生物都是一个小小的奇迹。故选C。principle原则;purpose目的;wonder奇迹;puzzle谜题。 15.D　根据下文“…sit for a while in search of another beautiful bug just to appreciate the beauty of nature.”可知,此处指出去寻找另一只美丽的昆虫,欣赏自然界的美丽。故选D。pull through渡过难关;come back回来;turn up出现;go out出去。 Ⅴ.【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家制作出一种新型油漆和这种油漆的优点。 1.F　由上文“Structural colour comes from tiny shapes on the surfaces of things like wings, feathers or shells.”可知,下面要说跟“微小形状”有关的话题,F选项中的small与空前的tiny相对应,能承接上文,符合文意。故选F。 2.C　由下文“They were trying to create a special mirrored surface.
