a hillside or other such obstruction(障碍物)Sound travels at a speed of about onefifth of a mile per second.If the hill is eleven hundred feet away，it takes two seconds for the sound to travel to the hill and back.Thus by measuring the time between a sound and its reflection the echo，you can calculate the distance to an obstruction.During World War ，the British made a practical use of this rule to discover German planes on their way to bomb London long before the enemy was near the object.They used radio waves instead of sound waves，since radio waves can pass through fog and clouds.The outnumbered Royal Air Force(RAF)(皇家空军) always seemed to be lying in wait at the right time and the puzzled Germans never to be surprised.It was radio echoes more than anything else that won the Battle of Britain.Since the radio waves were used to tell the direction in which to send the RAF planes and the distance to send them (their range of flight，in other words)，the device was called radio directing and ranging，and from the first letters the word radar(雷达) was formed.1Sound waves reflected from a hill can be used to calculate the _.Aspeed of soundBtime between a sound and its echoCheight of the hillDdistance to the hill2The British used radio waves because they _.Awere more exact than sound wavesBcould not be discoveredCcould pass through fog and cloudsDwere easier to use than sound waves3Practical use of radio waves brought about _.Anew machines for planesBa radio directing and ranging deviceCnew radio sets for RAF bombersDa discovering device4Radar allowed British to be able to _.Adiscover German planes on their way to LondonBdirect the outnumbered RAF planes effectivelyCkill German bomber pilotsDboth A and B5The author of this passage mainly wanted to explain _.Aexactly how radar workedBwhy the British used radio waves in their deviceChow radar(word and device) came into beingDhow radar helped the British win the Battle. 阅读心得1Later in math class，Jenna devoted herself to figuring out the problems that had given her so much trouble.(完形填空最后一段第一句)后来在数学课上，Jenna全心致力于解决带给她许多麻烦的问题。(1)The boy cant figure out the algebra problems.这个男孩做不出这些代数题。(2)All his life was devoted to helping the poor.他的一生都在帮助穷人。2It was radio echoes more than anything else that won the Battle of Britain.(阅读理解第二段最后一句)正是收音机的回声而不是其他别的什么，才赢得了不列颠战争。强调句式：It is/was被强调部分that其他(1)It was yesterday that he met Li Ping.正是昨天他遇见了李萍。(2)When and where was it that you were born？你是什么时候，什么地点出生的？(3)It was not until his wife came back that he went to bed.直到他的妻子回来，他才上床睡觉。 3Since the radio waves were used to tell the direction in which to send the RAF planes and the distance to send them (their range of flight，in other words)，the device was called radio directing and ranging，and from the first letters the word radar(雷达) was formed.(阅读理解最后一段)由于无线电波被用来告诉英国皇家空军所需方向和距离(即：他们的飞行范围)，这种装置被称作无线电定向测距仪，雷达这个词就是由这些单词的首字母组成的。(1)Della turned all of her pockets inside out only to find $1.87 with which to buy Jim a present for Christmas.黛拉翻遍所有的衣兜，只找到了1.87美元，用这些钱给吉姆买了一个圣诞礼物。(2)We cant ignore such things in which children are interested in our daily life.我们不能忽视日常生活中孩子所感兴趣的东西。Test 9.1.C通过空前“was ready for”以及下文所描述的困难，可知Jenna已经准备好了迎接高中期间新的“挑战”，且与最后一句相呼应。2B尽管作了准备，然而，高中还是(与初中)不一样的。与上文是转折关系。3A通过上文描述“very talented girls(非常有才华的女孩们)”可知竞争非常激烈，她要被选上有“困难”。4D宣布第二轮选拔赛名单的人应是“裁判员”。C项为干扰项，candidate申请人，候选人。5B通过句意可知当名单读完还没有她的名字的时候，她的心情应该是“沮丧”，sank与her heart连用，表心情不好。6C选拔赛失利，她当然怀着“不好”的心情回家。awful极坏的。7A通过句意可知，此处为转折关系，她以前很擅长数学，但现在不这样了。struggling(艰难)奋斗的。8D通过句意可知，在她转学英语与历史后，发现她在这些科目上没有遇到麻烦，与前面学数学的情况相比，心情当然是“轻松的”，relieved意为“宽慰的，放心的”
