sciencesonewthatmostpeoplehaveneverheardofit.Namedbionicsin1960,this

scienceisthestudyoflivingcreatures,astudyinsearchofprincipleapplicableto

engineering".并未提到美国号召各国进行此项目的研究，由此可知题干内容在文

中未提及。

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：B

知识点解析：第七段第二句话叙述了"Thebatisunderstudybecausethebat'ssonaris

muchmoreefficientthanman-madesonar".之所以研究蝙幅的声呐系统是因为蝙幅

的声纳系统比人造声纳更有效，而不是研究蚊子。由此可知题干不符合原文意思。

5、Transducersareinstrumentslikeamicrophone,TVcamera,radioorphonograph,

whichconvertoneformofenergyintoanother.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：A

知识点解析：第九段中间一句话指出”...transducers—instrumentslikea

microphone,TVcamera,orphonographpickuparm-whichconvertoneformof

energyinloanolher”.像麦克风、电视摄像头、留声机等传感器可以把一种形式的

A、Y

B、N

9、Rinnicistsdoresearchontheuniquequalityofowls,sensitiveheatingandengagein

designing.

标准答案：sensitivemechanicearsforlisteningtoenemysonar

知识点解析：文章第十四段最后一句话指出"…thoseengagedindesigningsensitive

mechanicearsforlisteningtoenemysonar…”设计敏感性听觉系统探测敌人的声呐装

置，由此可知止匕处该填sensitivemechanicearsforlisteningtoenemysonar0

10、TheFoundationbelievesthatthesyntheticnosecanbeusedtodelectfoodspoilage

此可矢口此处该填industrialandmilitarypersonnelofthepresenceofpoisonousvaporso

11、Bionicswilleventuallyimprovematterswithacomputerthatimitatesthebrain.Itis

quitepossiblethatmanwill.

标准答案：notunderstandthesecretsofthehumanbrainduringthiscentury

知识点解析：根据文章最后一段的第一、二句话可知，只要小小的鸽子的大脑功能

依然无法得到科学的解释，那么在本世纪也无法阐释人脑的秘密，故not

understandthesecretsofthehumanbrainduringthiscentury即是答案。

A.createI.shockB.worseJ.easilyC.additionalK.benefitD.superiorL.motiveE.

challengeM.forgetF.recallN.helpfulG.importantlyO.uselessH.unexpected

48、[SI]

标准答案：M

知识点解析：联系空格后的宾语从句，父母们对自己年轻时的感受要不是忘记要不

就是回忆，答案在recall与forget中选择。既然年轻人对父母不满(becriticalol),

而且又责怪父母与他们之间有误会，说明在孩子们看来，父母们己经忘记了自己年

轻时的感受，所以才造成了今天的误会。

49、[S2]

标准答案：E

知识点解析：空格前面的a提示所填词应为名词。而该句前面的冒号说明该句是对

前面doingthingsonspurofthemoment的解释，年轻人容易冲动，经常心血来潮，

因此往往更容易接受挑战，故这里应填challenge。本空不能填入shock,年轻人思

想比较简单，往往是更不容易承受shock,并且该词在上下文中没有语义联系,

50、[S3]

标准答案：J

知识点解析：空格所在位置决定此处所填词应为能修饰worry的副词，列表中只有

imporlantly和easily,而根据后文所述大多数老年人会事先做计划，因此填easily

才能使上下文语义通顺。

51、[S4]

标准答案：H

知识点解析：所填词应能修饰something,而该空的位置决定所填词应为形容词，

因为形容词在修饰something时需要后置。前文指出老年人处理事情都会事先做计

划，而能打乱他们的计划的肯定是没有预料到的事情，因此选unexpecied。

52、[S5]

标准答案：I

知识之解析：空格前面的liketo结构提示所填词就为动词原形。而从该段的层次可

以看出后面的一句是对该句的具体解释，而他们所说的内容都是令父母感到不可思

议的，观察列表中能表达这一意思的动词应为shocko

53、[S6]

标准答案：0

知识点解析：空格前的it指代的应该是finalexaminations,前文提到“wewon't

studyforourfinalexaminations”,破折号提示后面的内容是对前面的进一步解释，

因此应选useless。注意这里如果填helpful的话，前后的意思就无法连贯了，故排

除helpfulo

54、[S7]

标准答案：L

知识点解析：空格前面的iheir和main决定此处所填词应为名词。前一句指出年轻

人会irritatetheirparentswiththeirchoicesinclothesandhairstyles,后面给出原因，

他们这么做是因为feelcutofffromtheadultworld,结合列表中的单词可以看出他

们惹怒父母并不是主要动机，选motive▼注意这里motive是名词,意思是“动机，

目的“，而不是形容词。

55、[S8]

标准答案：A

知识点解析：分析本句结构可知所填词应为谓语动词。而前面的So提示前后两句

属于因果关系，前一句指出他们感到自己被隔绝于成人世界之外，后一句是得出的

结果，因此这里应选create,所以他们就建立了自己的文化和群体。

56、[S9]

标准答案：c

知识点瓦析：空格的位置决定所填词应能修饰enjoyment。空格前的this指代前一

句话：他们的音乐或穿着激怒了父母，这给他们带来enjoyment,前文提到，激怒

父母并不是他们的主要目的，因此这里应该是addilionalenjoymenl。它指得就是后

面一句：年轻人觉得自己是leadersinstyleandtaste。

57、[S10]

标准答案：D

知识点解析：后面的and提示两个that从句并列，后面指出theyareleadersinstyle
