分析 遇到問題應(yīng)該自己努力想辦法去解決,如果一個(gè)人總是在困難時(shí)候有人幫助,那么他或者她往往會(huì)養(yǎng)成一種依賴心理,從而失去自己解決問題的能力.在本文中作者通過回憶自己和父母對(duì)姐姐們的幫助向讀者說明了這個(gè)道理.

解答 21:B 考查名詞辨析.A.兒子; B.女兒;C.兄弟;D.姐妹.根據(jù)第一段I was not among them和第一段末句I watched them 26 to help out my older sisters ….可以判斷父母時(shí)不時(shí)的去幫助他們的女兒,也就是作者的姐姐,所以答案選B.
22:C 考查形容詞辨析.A.缺席的; B.分開的;C.到期的; D.不同的.根據(jù)空前debts可知父母在本子上記錄的是她們到期應(yīng)繳的欠款,答案選C.
23:B考查副詞辨析.A.總是;B.幾乎不;C.常常;D.從不.根據(jù)下文的講述可知作者很少借錢,如果借錢了也要制定好償還計(jì)劃,答案選B.
24:A考查動(dòng)詞辨析.A.卡住; B.貼上,附帶; C.同意 D.屬于.由前句I set a repayment plan可以判斷作者制定好償還計(jì)劃后會(huì)始終堅(jiān)持,stick to 堅(jiān)持,其他不符合語境,答案選A.
25:C考查名詞辨析.A.快樂; B.勇氣;C.驕傲;D.難過.通過和上文作者姐姐的對(duì)比可知作者很少會(huì)陷入債務(wù)中,也從來不會(huì)因?yàn)閭鶆?wù)問題而拖累父母,所以在作者看來這是值得驕傲的事情,選C.
26:A考查動(dòng)詞辨析.A.斗爭,奮斗;B.發(fā)生; C.打算;D.移動(dòng).根據(jù)上下文可知父母在自己也存在經(jīng)濟(jì)問題時(shí)還要努力去幫孩子還債,所以A選項(xiàng)正確.
27:B考查動(dòng)詞辨析.A.提及,參考; B.轉(zhuǎn)向;C.看見; D.參加,照顧.從上下文可知作者自己很少陷入財(cái)政問題,所以父母去世后,姐姐們會(huì)找他幫忙,turn to sb for help"找人求助",答案選B.
28:D考查動(dòng)詞辨析.A.欺騙; B.捐贈(zèng);C.借出;D.欠.根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容I couldn't stand owing my parents-or anyone else-money可知作者不愿意欠別人錢,故答案選D.
29:B考查動(dòng)詞辨析.A.享受;B.介意; C.喜歡;D.想念.根據(jù)前句I can't stand saying no to whoever needs help.可知作者愿意幫助別人,所以選B.句意:我不介意幫助別人,但是…

31:A考查形容詞辨析.A.財(cái)政的,金融的; B.靈活的; C.典型的; D.尤其.根據(jù)上文以及破折號(hào)后面like planning not to spend money they don't have可以判斷作者指的是在錢方面的問題,故A選項(xiàng)正確.
32:C考查名詞辨析.A.美德,品德; B.交易; C.美德;D.任務(wù).從情理可知幫助別人是一種美德,答案選A.
33:A考查形容詞辨析.A.相反的; B.基本的;C.潛在的D.必要的.前句說幫助別人是美德,但是作者話鋒一轉(zhuǎn),由此判斷幫助別人的結(jié)果可能不是想象的那樣,be contrary to"與…相反",答案選A.

38:A考查動(dòng)詞辨析.A.解決; B.評(píng)定,評(píng)估; C.尋找; D分析.由上文判斷一個(gè)人如果遇到問題總是等著別人幫助解決,從而自己就會(huì)失去解決問題的能力,答案選A.
39:C考查名詞辨析.A.事務(wù); B.選擇; C.案例,情況 D.事件.由語境可知此處指一種普遍存在的情況,固定短語:in most case"在大多數(shù)情況下",答案選C.
40:C考查動(dòng)詞辨析.A.獲得; B.獲得,得到; C.提供; D.更喜歡.從上文內(nèi)容可知此處是作者針對(duì)姐姐們的問題發(fā)表看法,所以此處指提供幫助,句意:在大多數(shù)情況下,如果人們發(fā)現(xiàn)你能提供幫助,那么他們會(huì)對(duì)你要求越來越多.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 完型填空,解題時(shí)要抓住文章的脈絡(luò),一定要讀懂全文,弄清文章要表達(dá)的思想,注意前后段落之間的關(guān)系.答題中,一定要認(rèn)真分析,注意選項(xiàng)與上下文的關(guān)系,與前后單詞的關(guān)系.對(duì)于一時(shí)沒有太大的把握的題可以放到最后再來完成,因?yàn)橛袝r(shí)答案可以從下文內(nèi)容體現(xiàn)出來.答完后再通讀一篇文章,看看所選選項(xiàng)能不能是語句通順,語意連貫.

9.Working outside the International Space Station (ISS),an astronaut is suddenly hit by a piece of space debris(碎片)that damages his spacesuit.Alarmed,he realizes he's just seconds from disaster.Moving fast,his prepared robot partner slaps(拍打)an auto-patch over the tear in his spacesuit.Huge sighs of relief fill the ISS.Inside,the astronaut responsible for saving the spacewalker's life controls everything the robot avatar has done-including rescuing its human partner-while it works outside the space station.
R2:The Real Deal
A robot companion can come in handy to space travelers,whether they're as far away as Mars or as close as a space station or moon base.Space-travelling avatars,controlled remotely by humans are still a concept.But earlier in the year 2011,NASA sent a humanoid robot into space for the first time.It's called R2,short for Robonaut 2.The robot was delivered by the space shuttle Discovery and will remain on the ISS to be tested.
NASA expects robots like R2 to be a huge help to astronauts."Our goal is for robots to work side by side with humans,"says NASA's Matt Ondler.R2 is controlled by humans using laptops. It's programmed to perform a number of small tasks,such as"find an object."In most situations,humans are still far better with their hands than robots.But that's not necessarily true in space,where astronauts must wear bulky spacesuits and heavy gloves.And since they don't need to eat,breathe,or go to the bathroom,robonauts have the advantage for lengthy jobs.
R2 isn't ready for spacewalks yet,but NASA hopes that future improvements will make this possible."Robonauts will help our astronauts with the three D's:jobs that are dirty,dull,and dangerous,"says Ondler.
To The Moon
Someday the space agency hopes to send R2 to the moon.Sending a robot to the moon will befar less expensive than sending a human.A robot is stronger,can survive in tighter spaces,and doesn't need air.Even better,robots don't care how long it takes for NASA to return them to Earth.
Once on the moon,the robonaut could perform experiments,send live video back to Earth,talk to classrooms full of kids,and explore the lunar surface.R2 will be able to move using legs,or by attaching its torso(軀干)to a four-wheeled rover(探測(cè)器) and becoming part of vehicle.And when R2's battery is low,it can plug into a solar-powered recharging station and get some much-needed juice.All in all,a pretty sweet life for a humble robot!
The future R2 would be designed to operate by itself.But for difficult tasks,a human operator would control it like an avatar in a video game.NASA will need people skilled at operating robonauts to ensure the success of future missions.So the next time your mom complains that you're spending too much time on video games,just tell her you're training for a job with NASA.

51.In paragraph1,the writer gives a detailed description of a space accident toD.
    A.stress the danger of an astronaut's walk in space
    B.tell readers the unforgettable experience of an astronaut
    C.show his concern for the present situation of space walk
    D.introduce what robots are likely to do for astronauts
52.Why does the writer say Robonaut 2 is"The Real Deal"?A
    A.It may have the advantage for complex and small tasks at low costs.
    B.It has been programmed to help astronauts with three D's.
    C.It is flexible and can be easily controlled by humans beings.
    D.It proves to be a good companion for space travelers.
53.By saying"All in all,a pretty sweet life for a humble robot!",the writer means thatB.
    A.a(chǎn)n ordinary robot will be able to move freely in comfortable surroundings
    B.a(chǎn)n ordinary robot will enjoy a comfortable life in space like humans on Earth
    C.a(chǎn) future robot will explore the moon easily by using a four-wheeled rover
    D.a(chǎn) future robot is stronger and will handle any difficulty in space easily
54.It can be learned from the passage thatC.
    A.the future R2 will perform experiments without human control
    B.humans are much smarter with their hands than robots in space
    C.someday humans might control an avatar on the moon
    D.sending a human to the moon will cost far less than sending a robot.

16.Of all the problems facing modern astronomers,perhaps the most fascinating is:"Can intelligent(有智能的) life exist elsewhere?"Since the Earth is an unimportant planet moving round an unimportant star,it would be a pride on our part to suppose that we are the only intelligent beings in the universe.But to obtain proof is difficult.
The main trouble is that our neighbor worlds,the bodies in the solar system appear to be unsuitable for advanced life forms.The Moon may be ruled out at once; it has hardly any atmosphere.Venus(金星) is little better; the surface temperature is extremely high and the atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide.Mars(火星) with a very thin atmosphere and a severe shortage of water,may well support simple plant life but there seems no hope of finding animals,while the attractive Martians of the story-tellers have long since been given up.
Of course this has not stopped the flow of bright ideas for communicating with the supposed people on Mars.In the early nineteenth century the great mathematician Gauss suggested planting tree-patterns in Siberia,so that the Martians would see them and replay suitably.Following up this idea,the Austrian scientist Karl Littrow proposed digging very wide ditches(溝) in the Sahara,triangular in patterns,and then filling them with petrol or some substance so that,when lit,the ditches would present Martian observers with a"flaming triangle"which would show the existence here of intelligent minds.Even better were the plans of Charles Cross,a French writer of the 1870's,who wanted to build a large mirror to reflect the sun's rays and concentrate them on the surface of Mars,thereby making a vast burning-glass.By swinging the mirror around,Cross explained it would be practicable to write words in the Martian deserts simply by burning the sand.For many years he bombarded (鼓吹) the French government with literature about this plan and was very disappointed when no official interest was shown.

48.From the passage we can learn that the opinion of the writer is thatC.
A.people on the earth are almost certainly the only intelligent beings in the universe
B.people on the earth are definitely the only intelligent beings in the universe
C.there may be other intelligent beings in the universe
D.there are other intelligent beings in the universe
49.Why is there unlikely any life on Venus?D
A.Because the weather is too cold.
B.Because it is severely short of water.
C.Because it has a very thin atmosphere.
D.Because the surface temperature is too hot.
50.According to the passage,it seems that MarsC.
A.may have both vegetable and animal life
B.may be inhabited by attractive Martians
C.may have some vegetable life
D.can have no life at all
51.How did Gauss,the mathematician,want to establish contact with the Martians?B
A.By building a large mirror.
B.By making patters with trees.
C.By filling wide ditches with oil.
