B beat“ 打击” ,侧重连续击打; strike“打,撞击 ”,a good idea strikes sb.的含义是
15、“某人想到一个好主意” ;attack“进攻” ;catch“抓住”。2. D possible“可能的” ,一般不用人作主语;due to“由于”;necessary “必要的”;be bound to“一定或注定要” 。此处用 bound 表示“ 孩子们在成长的过程中注定会遇到挫折”。3. D issue 的含义是“ 问题” ,该空后面的内容“偏远地区的教师工资过低” 就是问题的内容,即本题考查同位语从句,用 that 来引导。4. D in trouble 的含义是“处于困境中”;in case 的含义是“以免,万一”;in time 的含义是“及时”;in vain 的含义是“白费力气
16、” 。此处表示“所有的努力好像都是徒劳的 ”。5. A Im sorry to bother you,but can you.是打扰别人时的交际用语。 bother “费心,麻烦”,hurt “伤害” ,meet “遇见”,answer “回答”。 二、 1. Will it bother you if I turn the television on?2. The marriage on the basis of money is sure to break up.3. The teachers are discussing the education laws.4. Sometimes I
17、 help my mother do the cooking at home.5. After thousands of soldiers had cleaned the snow on the road,the Jingzhu freeway was brought back to life. 三、 1. The fact worries us a bit that great Auks and Quaggas have been extinct.2. Do you have any idea what we can do with these waste materials?3. They
18、 are having an argument whether we can clone human beings.4. Everyone should have the belief that nature should never be destroyed.5. She has made a promise that she should make experiments on cloning bison. 四、 1. His idea sounds reasonable that they are bound to go on cloning animals.2. You dont ha
19、ve to mention it.He merely wanted to tell us to be careful.3. The lightning struck the storm into our hearts.4. We could hardly resist laughing when we saw the film Jurassic Park.5. The plan of Change has paid off,which Chinese are proud of. 五、 1.D produced from any one cell“由任何单细胞产生的”,过去分词短语作定语。 a
20、plant or animal 与 produce 之间存在被动关系,因此应用过去分词短语作定语。2D manage to do sth.“ 设法做成某事”;try to do sth.“努力去做某事 ”,但不一定成功;succeed 不接 to do sth.;attempt to do sth.“试图做某事” ,但不一定成功。而本句表示做成的一件事情,故选 D 项。3C using cloning technology “利用克隆技术”。take “ 带走”;teach “教”;learn “学会”。这三个词均不符合句意。4C also 表示“ 也” ,一般放在句中系动词之后、实义动词之前
21、;too 用于肯定句的句末,either 用于否定句的句末,都通常用逗号隔开; as well 用在肯定句中,放在句末。5B Chicago physicist“芝加哥物理学家”。其余三项的人物不可能搞科研。reporter“记者”; writer“作家”;artist“画家,艺术家”。6A aroused a lot of medias attention“引起众多媒体的注意”。rose 是 rise 的过去式,表示“上升”;raised 是 raise 的过去式,表示“ 抬起,引起,导致”,但此处用被动结构是错的;rise up 的含义是“ 起义,上升” ;而 arouse 的含义是“引起
22、,激发”,符合句意。7A sign an agreement “签署一项协议”。write 的宾语不是 an agreement,而是文字。arrive at an agreement 可表示“达成协议” ,但 D 项中缺少介词 at。8D the President announced:.“ 总统宣布”,spoke,told 和 reported 后都不加冒号。9B .introducing a law “推出一项法律”。第一次提到此法律,用不定冠词。10C will have passed anticloning laws “将会通过反克隆法”。与 law 搭配的是pass(通过 )。al
23、low“允许”;agree“同意”;approve“赞成,同意”。11D be negative about.“否定某事”。12C banning human cloning “禁止克隆人”。虽然 forbid 也有“禁止” 的含义,但应用forbidding,而不是 forbidden。13A .seriously mistaken,从上一句中得到参考,任何禁止克隆人的法律都是严重错误的。seriously“ 严重地” ; personally“个人地”;partly “ 部分地”;possibly “可能地”。14D in spite of 和 despite 为介词(短语),后接名词、代
24、词或动词的 ing 形式,though 和 although 是连词,后接从句。15B 本段阐述了对克隆人的支持态度, it is impossible to stop the progress of science“要阻止科学的进步是不可能的”。possible 与 likely 均是“可能的”;probably“大概”。16A lead to a nightmare world “导致一个可怕的世界”。stick to “坚持” ,come to “想起,复苏”,add up to “总共达”,都不与 a nightmare world 搭配。17C 只有 as well as 表示“还有
25、”的意义,后接 cartoons。as much as “像一样多”,as many as “像 一样多”,as good as “像一样好” 。18D wonder “想知道” ,后接表示疑问意义的从句;puzzle“使迷惑”,worry“担忧”,wander“游逛”,都不接表示疑问意义的从句。19B the next five to ten years 是时间段,只能用 within,表示“在某个范围之内”。20B pretty “相当地”,含有“very”之义,much 一般不修饰副词,too 表示“太”,暗示否定意义,more 是比较级。六、 写作指导主题:interviewing a
26、 Chinese scientist about cloning必备词汇:a cloning expert,object to,technology,endangered,treat illnesses必备句型:I interviewed a famous Chinese scientist,who is a cloning expert.As far as he was concerned,.However,he says,cloning technology can be used in agriculture,.Moreover,cloning technology can be use
27、d in medicine to treat illnesses,.In a word,we should make the most of cloning to.参考范文:On September 8th,as a reporter,I interviewed a famous Chinese scientist,who is a cloning expert.As far as he was concerned,though cloning has its advantages,the Chinese government strongly object to human cloning.
28、However,he says,cloning technology can be used in agriculture,which can prevent the diseases caused by pests,and can improve the produce.Furthermore,we can also employ cloning to protect the endangered animals,which is beneficial to human beings.Moreover,cloning technology can be used in medicine to treat illnesses,which is bound to save many sick people.In a word,we should make the most of cloning to do good to human beings instead of destroying our life.
