13.To enjoy a relaxing holiday,he rented a luxury suite overlooking the bay and the beaches for 3000pounds a week in high season.

分析 為了享受一個(gè)放松的假日,他在旺季以一周3000英鎊租了一個(gè)豪華套房來(lái)俯視海灣和海灘.

解答 答案:overlooking 考查首字母填空.根據(jù)句意和句子結(jié)構(gòu),要填入動(dòng)詞.overlook意為"俯視,眺望",he與overlook之間是主謂關(guān)系,用現(xiàn)在分詞作狀語(yǔ).

點(diǎn)評(píng) 考查首字母填空,準(zhǔn)確地理解句子、翻譯句子,然后根據(jù)句意及提示寫出單詞,完成句子,使句意更通順.

2.London has become a cycle friendly zone after the launch of a new bike hire scheme.It has been designed to encourage more people to cycle in and around central London.
So how does it work?First you have to sign up to the scheme to be sent a key.The key will unlock one of the bikes,which are kept at docking stations in and around central London.You have to pay an access fee for the key and then you pay as you go for the length of time you use the bike.
Transport for London,which runs the scheme,are hoping to have 6,000bikes and 400docking stations in place by the end of the year.The new hire system is hoping to ease congestion (擁擠) in London and is expected to create up to 40,000extra cycle trips a day into the city centre.London Mayor Boris Johnston launched the scheme and said London had been"filled with thousands of gleaming machines that will transform the look and feel of our streets and become as commonplace on our roads as black cabs and red buses".
However,there have been a few problems since the scheme was launched last Friday.On the first day some people found they couldn't dock their bike properly and their usage of the bike had not been registered.Transport for London did admit they had been expecting a few"teething problems"and have said they wouldn't charge for the first day as a"gesture of goodwill".Some other people have criticized the lack of docking stations and locks for the bikes as well as the price it costs to hire the bicycles.
Despite the comments,the green-thinking London Mayor still seems very positive about things,saying,"My campaign for the capital to become the greatest big cycling city in the world has taken a big pedal-powered push forwards."

65.London Mayor Boris Johnston launched the new bike scheme in order toC.
A.reduce the air pollution of the city    B.encourage the citizens to take exercises
C.deal with the city's traffic problems  D.increase employment opportunities
66.If you want to hire a bike,what would you do first?D
A.Pay for the bike according to the time you use it.
B.Pay for the key to a bike.
C.Cycle in and around central London.
D.Sign up as a member to get a key.
67.All the following are the problems of the scheme EXCEPTB.
A.the high cost to hire a bike
B.not charging for the first day of the scheme
C.not registering their usage of the bikes
D.docking the bikes properly
68.From the passage we can infer thatA.
A.the London Mayor is confident in the scheme
B.the scheme will be cancelled because of the problems
C.a(chǎn)ll the citizens in London support the scheme
D.the cycling revolution is not successful.

Noah Webster died on May 28,1843and was buried in the Grove Street Cemetery.
28.What's the main idea of Paragraph l?C

5.Where is that noise coming from?Not sure?Try living with your eyes closed for a few years.
Blind people are better at locating sounds than people who can see,a new study says,without the benefits of vision the ears seem to work much better.
Previous studies have shown that blind people are better than others at reaching out and touching the sources of sounds that are close by.Researchers from the University of Montreal wanted to see if blind people were also better at locating sounds that are far away.
Twenty-three blind people participated in the study.All had been sightless for at least 20years.Fourteen of them had lost their vision before age 11.the rest went blind after age 16.The experiment also included 10people who could see but were wearing blind-folds.
In one task,volunteers had to pick the direction of a sound coming from about 3metres away.When the sound was in front of them or slightly off center in front,both groups performed equally well.
When sounds came from the side or the back,however,the blind group performed much better than the blindfolded group.The participants who had been blind since childhood did slightly better than those who lost their sight later.
Recognizing the locations of distant sounds can be a matter of life-or-death for blind people,say the researchers.Crossing the street,for instance,is much harder when you can't see the cars coming.
Still,the researchers were surprised by how well the blind participants did,especially those who went blind after age 16.In another experiment,the scientists also found that parts of the brain that normally deal with visual information became active in locating sound in the people who were blind by age 11.These brain parts didn't show sound-location activity in the other group of blind people or in the sighted people.The scientists now want to learn more about the working of brains of"late-onset"blind people.

51.The recent study shows blind people are better at tellingB.
A.The sources of loud sounds.
B.the locations of distant sounds
C.the direction of sharp sounds   
D.the distance of a sound in front of them
52.If people were asked to tell the direction of a sound from the side,who would perform best?B
A.Those who are blind.
B.Those who have gone blind since childhood.
C.Those who went blind at age 16.
D.Those who are blindfolded.
53.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A
A.Whether to be able to locate the sounds can be of vital importance for the blind.
B.All the volunteers in the experiment are sightless.
C.All the participants did equally well when picking sounds from whatever direction.
D.The later people become blind,the better they can perform in telling the direction of sounds.
54.What do we know about that parts of brain dealing with visual information are active in locating sounds?D
A.This happens in almost all the testers.
B.This only occurs in the people who were blind after age 16.
C.It remains nothing new to the scientists any more.
D.It remains a mystery why it is so.

3.The summer I was ten,my mother decided to bring us to the world of art.My brother and I were not very excited when we realized what my mother meant.What she meant was not that we could take draw ing classes or painting classes but that we would have to spend one afternoon a week with her at the Fine Arts Museum.Before each visit to the museum,she made us read about artists and painting styles.It was almost as bad as being in school.Who wants to spend the summer thinking about artists when you could be with your friends at the swimming pool?
First,we had to read about ancient Egyptians and their strange way of painting faces and then go to look at them at the museum.My 12-year-old brother thought this was so funny,but I was not interested.Later we had to learn about artists in the Middle Age s who painted people wearing strange long clothing.We had to look at pictures of fat babies with wings and curly hair and with no clothes on flying around the edges of paintings.I certainly couldn't see what was so great about art.
On our last visit to the museum,something happened when I saw a painting by a woman called Mary.In it,a woman was reading to a child.The colors were soft and gentle,and you could tell by the mother's expression how happy she was just to be with the child.I couldn't stop looking at this painting!I wanted to see every painting Mary had ever made!It was really worth looking at so many paintings to find a painter who could interest me so much.
28.The aim of the mother's plan was toA.
A.introduce them to the world of art           
B.take them only to visit the museum
C.a(chǎn)sk them to read about artists               
D.a(chǎn)sk them to read different painting styles
29.What was the writer's experience in the museum before the last visit?B
A.She came to feel her mother's love.
B.She hardly enjoyed herself.
C.She liked many paintings.
D.She could understand the pictures of fat babies.
30.What made the writer go through a change that summer?D
A.Her mother's instruction                    
B.A strange way of painting.
C.Artists in the Middle Ages.
D.One of Mary's paintings.
31.From the text,we can seeA.
A.the effect of art                        
B.the importance of curiosity
C.the value of summer                      
D.the power of family.
