31、rtain things. And so, people thought that each part of the brain does a different 3 . But modern research has 4 out that this is not so, for it is not 5 to say 6 what each part of the brain does. In the past fifty years there 7 a great increase in the amount of research 8 on the brain. Chemists and

32、biologists have 9 that the 10 the brain works it is not so 11 as people in general may think. Chemists tell us that 100,000 chemical changes 12 in the brain every second. Some recent researches also 13 that we can remember everything 14 happens 15 us. We 16 not be able to recall (回忆) the things weve

33、 heard and seen, but it is all kept there in the storehouse of the human mind. Earlier scientists thought the power of ones brain got weaker as one grow 17 . But it is now thought that is not 18 . As long as the brain is 19 20 exercise it keeps its ability. It has been proved that an old person who

34、has 21 been active in the mind has a 22 mind than a young person who has only done 23 work 24 using much of his brain. It is now thought that the 25 work we give our brains, the more work they are able to do. 1.A.destroyedB.injuredC.brokenD.wounded答案:Binjure指“受伤”，不仅指外部也指内部。大脑受伤指头颅内的大脑受损，应用injure为妥，w

35、ound仅表示“外伤”，destroy是“毁坏”的意思，break意为“打破”，均不合题意。2.A.forceB.strengthC.powerD.effort答案:Cpower不仅指力量，还指做某种事情的能力；force表示“强迫、强使”；strength仅指“力量，力气”；effort是“努力”的意思，本句表示的是人脑的某部分受损，所失去的显然是做某事的能力，而不仅仅是力气，故选项A、B、D均不妥。3.A.workB.businessC.jobD.matter答案:C此句中，只有job是可数名词，work，business，matter均为不可数名词，故只有C项job前可用不定冠词，是正确

36、选择。4.A.foundB.takenC.lookedD.worked答案:A此句意思是“现代研究发现事情并不是如此”，find out作“发现，查明”解，符合题意；在其他的选项中，work out表示“解出(题目)”；take out意思是“拿出”；look out表示“当心”，均不符合题意。5.A.clearB.clearlyC.troublesomeD.easy答案:Deasy to do sth意为“容易做某事”。6.A.difficultyB.exactlyC.easilyD.only答案:B这是一个句子中出现的两个题目，本句意为: “要确切地说出大脑的每个部分做什么工作是不容易的”

37、，exactly是“精确地”，easily意为“容易地”，only作“仅仅”解，分析句意，exactly是正确选择。7.A.has hadB.wasC.has beenD.were答案:C本题是there + be的句型，故选项A应首先排除；B、C、D是动词be的不同时态及数的形式，决定正确选项的是时间状语和主语的人称及数，in the past + 一段时间，汉语意为“以来”，与现在完成时连用，故应选C。8.A.madeB.workedC.wentD.kept答案:A本题的关键是哪个动词与名词research连用，表示“对的研究”，在所提供的四个选项中，只有make可与research连用，

38、即make research on，其余选项中 work、want、keep都不和research构成固定搭配。9.A.seenB.uncoveredC.disclosedD.discovered答案:D本题主要应弄清选项B、C、D这三个动词的意思和用法，uncover作“揭开”解； disclose是“揭发”；discover是“发现”，在科学研究中的“发现”，用英语表达即是 discover；see仅仅是“看到”，不一定通过努力，而discover则有通过努力的意思，据上分析应选D。10.A.meansB.wayC.styleD.method答案:B本题四个选项中，means和method

39、都表示“方法，方式”，但若后面跟定语从句时，应用介词 + 关系代词，即 by which；way也表示“方式，方法”，后接定语从句时，用 in which；style是“风格”的意思，与题意不合，故只有B是正确选择。11.A.easyB.simpleC.difficultD.free答案:B根据上面的意思，大脑工作的方式并未像人们想象的那么简单，这四个选项中，只有simple符合题意。12.A.take a placeB.take the placeC.take placeD.have taken place答案:C“发生”什么情况，变化，用take place，所以选项A与B应予排除；C与D

40、只是时态有所不同，本句讲的是客观真理，故用一般现在时态。13.A.suggestB.knowC.guessD.mean答案:A这里suggest作“显示”“表明”解释，相当于show，所以know，guess，mean与题意不符。14.A.whatB.whichC.thatD.it答案:C这里everything后接的是一个定语从句，在everything，nothing，anything这些复合不定代词后的定语从句可用which开始，这里what和if均不是关系代词，故予以排除，在which和that之间，应选that。15.A.atB.toC.forD.with答案:Bhappen后面的介

41、词常见的有to，即happen to sb或happen to sth，意为“某人或某物出了什么事”，其余选项中at，for，with均不跟在happen之后。16.A.mayB.canC.mustD.should答案:A此句的意思是，“我们可能不一定能回忆起我们所听到或看到的事”，四个选项中均是情态动词，但构成否定式时，意思都不同。may not意为“可能(也许)不”； can not意为“不能，禁止”；should not意为“不应该”；can不能与able连用；must not与should not意思不合题意，只有may not是正确选择。17.A.elderB.youngerC.ol

42、derD.stronger答案:C原句意为“科学家认为人越老脑子就越不好使”，选项B、D都不合逻辑或题意； elder与older都是old的比较级，区别在于elder解释为“年长的”作定语，而older的意思是“更老的，更旧的”，作定语、表语、宾补均可，在本句中作表语。18.A.wrongB.trueC.strangeD.just答案:B本句用but开始，表示对上句意思是否定，说明上句的说法不正确，故用true，若用wrong则与but表示的转折相矛盾；strange作“奇怪的”解释；just意为“公平的，公正的”，均不合题意。19.A.broughtB.givenC.shownD.take

43、n答案:B此处应理解为“只要给予大脑足够的训练就能保持它的能力”，“给予”应该用 give，bring表示“带来”，show作“显示”解，take是bring的反义词，这三个词均与句意不符。20.A.a number ofB.littleC.fewD.plenty of答案:D这里a number of与few都用于修饰可数名词，而exercise在这里是不可数名词，故这两个选项应予排除，剩下的little与plenty of意思相反，plenty of意为“足够”符合题意。21.A.oftenB.seldomC.alwaysD.never答案:C本题选项B、D是表示否定意义的副词，与句意不符

44、，故应排除；在often与always之间，always的频率高于often，根据脑子越用越灵的规律，应选always为妥。22.A.quickerB.biggerC.slowerD.smaller答案:Amind意为“头脑，智力”，是抽象名词，无“大小”之分，只有脑子反应的“快慢”之别，根据句意，应选quicker。23.A.physicsB.physicistC.physicalD.difficult答案:Cphysical是形容词作“体力的”解释，而physics作为“物理”解，physicist是指“物理学家”，此句意思是“经常动脑子的老人大脑反应会比做体力劳动的年轻人快”，据上分析，

45、应选physical为妥。24.A.noB.neitherC.withoutD.nor答案:C本题空格后的using是动名词，再看答案中的四个选项只有without是介词，其他的三个都是形容词，再根据词义和句意，without通常否定后面的内容，此处意为“只做体力劳动不多用脑子的年轻人”，所以选without。25.A.lessB.greaterC.fewerD.more答案:D本题是the more . the more . (越越)句型，look是不可数名词，故fewer应予排除。此处修饰工作的是多，即给大脑的工作越多，它能干的事也越多， less意为少，greater意为“更大的”，均不

46、合题意，故选D。第三部分 阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、和D)中选出最佳选项。A Mr. and Mrs. Smith had always spent their summer holidays in New Jersey (新泽西) in the past, staying in a small inn (旅店) at the foot of a hill.

47、ay at a really good hotel while they went travelling around that famous city. They flew to London and arrived at their hotel late one evening.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith _ in the past.A.had often stayed in a big hotel in New JerseyB.had travelled to many placesC.had always spent their summer holidays

50、in New JerseyD.had made a lot of money答案:C从本文第一句可知，史密斯夫妇过去一直在新泽西州度假，住在一个小旅馆里，据此，A、B、D三项均不合题意。2. They decided to go to a really good hotel because _.A.it was famousB.it was difficult to find a cheap hotelC.it was near many interesting placesD.they now had enough money答案:D本题是说他们决定去住高价旅馆的原因，文中的关键句是Mr.

51、Smith made a lot of money，很显然D为正确答案。3. When they arrived at the hotel, they found _.A.no meals were served after sevenB.dinner was still being servedC.their plane had arrived too lateD.they had to go to bed hungry答案:B与小旅馆不同的是，当他们晚上很晚到达大旅馆时，侍者问他们是否要用餐。故 B为正确答案。4. When the man told them the times of m

52、eals at the hotel. Mrs. Smith felt _.A.disappointedB.tiredC.pleasedD.satisfied答案:A由于史密斯太太没有正确地理解侍者的话，把饭店的服务时间当成了要他们用餐的时间，故颇感失望。B We have a rather small house, with only one spare (多余的) bedroom. You can imagine (想象) our alarm (惊恐) when Aunt Clara wrote to say that she was coming with her children to

53、stay for the weekend. Her family was not a small one, with four boys all under the age of twelve. I sent off a telegram (电报) at once, explaining that our house was too small. Aunt Clara called us up the next morning. I forgot to mention (提到) to you, she said in her sweetest voice, the boys will be b
