In western Asia,another extremely important invention was born﹣the ability to produce

butthetechniquehaschangedlittlesince.
Some people say that the wheel is the single most important invention.Early examples from

Phoenicians used sand,limestone and sodium carbonate to produce (3) something else

【答案】(1)after(2)isused(3)something(4)do(5)which(6)earliest(7)checking
(8)without(9)which(10)hasremained
【分析】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了人类发展史上一些重要的发明:弓箭、罐、车
轮、玻璃、锁和钥匙、编织、眼镜和钟表。
【解答】(1)after.考查时间状语从句。句意:已知最早的发明之一是弓和箭,在其被发
明15000年后的今天,仍然在世界各地使用。弓箭在发明之后,沿用至今,设空处应用
从属连词after,引导时间状语从句。故填after。
(2)isused.考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:当然,现在弓箭主要用于体育比赛,
但在一些地方它仍然是一种猎杀动物的手段。设空处为谓语动词,根据时间状语these
days以及后半句的时态,此处应用一般现在时态;动词use与逻辑主语thebowandarrow
为动宾关系,应用被动语态;主语thebowandarrow说的是弓箭这个整体的意思,为单
数,故be动词为is。故填isused。
(3)something.考查不定代词。句意:大约1500年后,腓尼基人用沙子、石灰石和碳酸
钠制造出了别的我们不可或缺的东西﹣﹣玻璃。设空处应填不定代词something,短语
somethingelse,意为"别的东西"符合句意。故填something。
(4)do.考查反义疑问句。句意:我们真的没怎么想过他们,不是吗?此处为反义疑问句,
前半句中有donot,为否定句,后面的附加问句应用肯定形式,根据前面的donot,可知
助动词应用do。故填do。
(5)which.考查定语从句。句意:另一项令人惊叹的发明,我们现在可能认为是理所当
然的,就是编织技术,它首先出现在罗马帝国,大约1700年前。theskillofknitting为先
行词,为物,后接限制性定语从句,先行词在从句中作主语,设空处应用关系代词which
或that。故填which/that。
(6)earliest.考查形容词最高级。句意:最早的例子是针织袜子!结合句意可知,"发明"上海最大个人家教平台---【嘉惠家教】
帮上海数万家庭匹配满意老师, 对接 V:jiajiao6767 (嘉惠老师)
应该是该物出现最早的时候,编织的手艺首次出现在1700年前的罗马帝国,最早的范例
是织袜子。设空处前面的the,应与形容词最高级连用,early的最高级为earliest,作名
词examples的前置定语。故填earliest。
(7)checking.考查动名词。句意:时间飞逝,我们花了很多时间检查我们还剩下多少时
间!此处涉及动词短语spend...doing...,意为"花……时间做……",设空处应填动名词形
式。故填checking。
(8)without.考查介词。句意:这一切都是不可能的,如果没有我们身边的钟表——它
们在墙上,在我们的手腕上,在我们的电脑上,甚至在我们的手机和iPod上。句中的this
指代的上一句内容wespendalotoftimecheckinghowmuchtimewehaveleft,根据常识,
查看时间需要用到时钟或者手表,没有时钟或手表将不可能查看时间,因此设空处应填
介词without。故填without。
(9)which.考查定语从句。句意:这一切都是不可能的,如果没有我们身边的钟表——
它们在墙上,在我们的手腕上,在我们的电脑上,甚至在我们的手机和iPod上。clocksand
watches为先行词,为物,后接非限制性定语从句,作从句的主语,应填关系代词which。
故填which。
(10)hasremained.考查时态和主谓一致。句意:330年前,英国的ThomasTompion(1639
﹣1714)发明了第一块怀表,他的两根或三根指针围绕表盘运动的设计,一直以来基本
没有改变。hiswatch﹣facedesign为主语,后接了介词短语作定语,设空处为谓语动词,
时间状语inallthattime,意为"一直以来",表明:自从发明第一块怀表以来,设计一直
保持不变的状态,可用现在完成时态;主语为第三人称单数,助动词用has。故填 has
remained。
【点评】语法填空考查学生英语综合知识的运用,做题时要首先明确短文大意,从词语
搭配,固定句型,语法,时态等方面综合考虑,结合上下文语境找出正确答案。

变着我们的生活,而实际上现金支付方式却有着各种各样的好处。
【解答】(1)C.考查形容词。句意:这不是什么富有创新精神的的事情。分析句子结构

票据"为名词,papernotes"纸币",符合句意。故选F选项。
(3)J.考查形容词。句意:在一个没有现金的社会里,你所花的每一笔费用都是可追溯

(4)B.考查动词。句意:这种支付方式赋予他们的权力是巨大的,奥威尔式监控的潜在
范围是可怕的。分析句子结构可知,空格处应填谓语动词的第三人称单数形式,hands"
传给,交给"为动词,符合句意。故选B项。
(5)A.考查动词。句意:另一方面,现金让它的使用者享有自主权。分析句子结构可知,
空格处应填谓语动词的第三人称单数形式,empowers"授权,增加(某人的)自主权"为
动词,符合题意。故选A。
(6)H.考查动词。句意:它使他们能够买卖和储存他们的财富,而不依赖任何人。根据
前面的"tobuyandsell,and"可知,空格处应填动词原形,与buy和sell并列,"store"为
动词原形,符合句意。故选H项。
(7)K.考查形容词。句意:现金在小额交易方面有它的用处—一块巧克力、一份报纸、
一品脱牛奶—这些在英国用其他的方式支付起来都是不划算的。分析句子结构可知,空
格处应填形容词,uneconomic"不经济的,不划算的"为形容词,beuneconomicto 意为"
对……来说是不划算的",符合句意。故选K项。
(8)I.考查动词。句意:举例来说,我喜欢用现金给服务生小费,因为我知道他们会收
到这一部分钱,而不会被吝啬的雇主抽走一部分。分析句子结构可知,空格处应填动词

作定语,mean"吝啬的,刻薄的"符合句意。故选D项。
(10)G.考查非谓语动词。句意:我也喜欢在市场上购物,在那里我可以直接从生产商
那里购买,而不会有中间人削减他们的百分比。根据前面的withoutmiddlemen 可知,
空格处应填动名词作without的宾语,shave"削减,减少"为动词,其动名词形式shaving
作介词without 的宾语,符合句意。故选G项。

【答案】DBCC
【分析】本文主要讲述了奥斯卡最佳影片《泰坦尼克号》的编剧、导演、制片人詹姆斯•
卡梅隆再次否认了影迷们长期以来提出的一个说法:在北大西洋海难发生后,杰克有空
间登上扶着罗斯的浮门,避免她体温过低死亡。
【解答】(1)D.推理判断题。根据第二段中的Statingthat"itsaysonpage147[ofthescript]
thatJackdies,"Cameron,63,toldVanityFair,"Obviouslyitwasanartisticchoice,[that]
thethingwasjustbigenough toholdher,andnotbigenough toholdhim".Findingit"silly,
really,thatwe'rehavingthisdiscussion20yearslater."thefilmmakerpointedoutthat, "Had
he lived,the ending of the film would have been meaningless...So whether it was that,or
whetherasmokestackfellonhim,hewasgoingdown."(63岁的卡梅隆在接受《名利场》
杂志采访时表示:"剧本147页上写着杰克去世的消息。很明显,这是一个艺术上的选择,
这个东西只够容纳她,而不够容纳他。"发现这"很傻,真的,我们20年后才讨论这个问
题",电影制作人指出,"如果他还活着,电影的结局将毫无意义……。所以,不管是这
样,还是一个烟囱压在他身上,他都要倒下了。)可推断,粉丝们对泰坦尼克号的情节
提出的问题是:他们相信英雄也有生存的机会。故选D。
(2)B.细节理解题。根据第二段中的Statingthat"itsaysonpage147[ofthescript]thatJack
dies,"Cameron,63,toldVanityFair,"Obviouslyitwasanartisticchoice,[that]thething
wasjustbigenoughtoholdher,andnotbigenoughtoholdhim".(63岁的卡梅隆在接受《名
利场》采访时说:"剧本第147页说杰克死了。很明显,这是一种艺术选择,它只够容纳
她,而不够容纳他。")可知,根据詹姆斯•卡梅隆的说法,杰克应该已经死了,因为剧

【答案】BCEF
【分析】这是一篇说明文。作者介绍了实施动态票价的好处。
【解答】(1)推理判断题。根据前文Chancesarethatifyouseejustonefilmthisyear,you
probably saw it already.The period between Christmas and Australia Day is typically the
busiestandmost competitive in ourfilm calendar.Buteven when you arrive ata ticketcounter
at a quieter time of year you will usually pay the same price to see a film irrespective of its

和澳大利亚日之间的这段时间通常是我们电影日历上最繁忙、最具竞争力的时期。但即
使你在一年中比较安静的时候到达售票处,你通常也会花同样的价格去看一部影片,无
论它的受欢迎程度、质量或预算大小),以及后句Anewsmartapplicationmeansthiswill
soonbearealityforsomeAustralianconsumers(一个新的智能应用程序意味着这将很快成
为一些澳大利亚消费者的现实),可知表示"想象一下,如果你能花更少的钱去看需求不
高的电影"的选项B可以承接前文看电影的话题,引出后一段介绍一个新的智能应用程序,
这个智能应用程序可以让你花更少的钱去看需求不高的电影,故选B。
(2)推理判断题。根据前句Melbourne﹣basedstartupChooviewilllaunchaserviceoffering
demand﹣basedticketpricing tofilmgoers attheend ofMarch,with over 100screensacross
metropolitanandregionalvenuesinVictoria,NSWandACT(总部位于墨尔本的初创公司
Choovie将于3月底推出一项服务,为电影观众提供基于需求的票价,在维多利亚州、新
南威尔士州和澳大利亚首都直辖区的大都市和地区场馆拥有100多个屏幕),可知表示
"Dendy是最早采取这一举措的连锁影院之一。接下来还会有更多"的选项C可以承接前
文采用这个程序的公司,举例说明这样的影院,故选C。
(3)主题判断题。根据小标题Sohowdoesdynamicpricingwork(那么,动态定价是如

座位数量取决于购买时的需求条件),可知表示"动态票价使消费者能够以更广泛的价格
购买电影票"的选项E可以承接前面的标题,引出后文对于动态票价使消费者能够以更广
泛的价格购买电影票的解释,故选E。
(4)主题判断题。根据后文Itgivesthemtheflexibilitytorespondtounexpectedfluctuations

simplifying the process of finding cheaper cinema tickets and guaranteeing them a reserved
seat(它使他们能够灵活应对需求的意外波动,并鼓励顾客预购座位。它还简化了寻找更
便宜电影票的过程,并保证他们有一个预定座位,从而使顾客受益),可知表示"动态定
价通过优化每部电影每次放映的价格组合,使影院受益"的选项F可以作为本段的主题,
介绍动态定价使影院受益,故选F。
【点评】这个题型要求考生从整体上把握文章的逻辑结构和内容上的联系,理解句子之
间、段落之间的关系,对诸如连贯性、一致性等语段特征有较强的意识和熟练的把握。
所以懂得整篇文章的基本结构或段落的语篇结构对解题很有帮助。

It is human beings' pride that we are the only species on the Planet that can speak and
think.However,recentresearchcastdoubtonthatcommonbelief.
Zuberbuhler,apsychologistatSt.AndrewsUniversity,andhiscolleaguesrecordedthousands
of calls made by Diana monkeys and noticed that the monkeys adapted their calls to change the
meaningto warnoneanotheraboutdifferentsituations.For example,theymade a 'krack' alarm
call at the sight of tiger.However,when they merely repeated calls made by other monkeys they
addedan'oo'.
The researchers found that the same calls would be recognised by other species,like
Campbell's monkeys.So they are communicating across species. "And since then we have found
that hornbill birds can understand these calls and they too can understand all the different
meanings",saidZuberbuhler.上海最大个人家教平台---【嘉惠家教】
