O)hesitateH)determine

46、[SI]

标准答案：N

知识点解析：由不定式t。可知，空格处应填入一个动词原形。由空格后的句子

whatlifewouldbelikewithoutthem可知，该动词可以接宾语从句，所以选

imagine,该句意思为很难想象没有电生活会是什么样。

47、[S2]

标准答案：L

知识点解析：因为failure是名词，所以该空应填一个形容词或名词来修饰failure。

由peoplegropeaboutincandlelight可知,因为没有电,人们才点燃蜡烛。power

failure意思为“停电”。

4R、[S3]

标准答案：O

知识点解析：本分句缺少一个谓语动词。由becausetherearenotrafficlightsto

guide由em可知，是因为没有信号灯指示车辆，所以应该是车辆不知所措，hesitate

符合本意。

49、[S4]

标准答案：A

知识点解析：根据该词所在句子的意思可知，在没有电的冰箱里，食物会腐烂，所

以选spoils<>

50、[S5]

标准答案：I

知识点解析：由has_beenexperimenting可知该空需要一个副词来修饰动词。由前

一句Yet,peoplebegantounderstandhowelectricityworksonlyalittlemorethantwo

centuriesago（但人们在两个世纪前才开始知晓电是如何工作的），可知该句的意思为

自然界显然已经在这一领域实验了几百万年，所以答案应为apparently,而

seemingly是“好像地”意思，不符合句意。

51、[S6]

标准答案：J

知识点露析♦：由are和后面的宾语从句可知，该空需填一个及物动词的进行时。该

宾语从句的意思为生物界可能拥有对人类有益的有关电的很多有趣秘密，科学家应

该是发现这一事实，所以选discovering。

52、[S7]

标准答案：C

知识点解析：as引导的分句缺动词，而该句主语又是heart,心脏跳动，应用

beato

53、[S8]

标准答案：D

知识点解析：of前应填名词。该句的意思是大脑也能释放出脑电波，所以选

waveso

54、[S9]

标准答案：B

知识点解析：inslrumenls前应加形容词来修饰。从Theelectriccurrentsgeneratedby

mostlivingcellsareextremelysmall可知，由生物细胞产生的电流是如此的小，所以

只有灵敏的设备才能记录它。sensitive是“灵敏的，精密的“，reasonable的意思是

“理智的工

55、[S10]

标准答案：E

知识点解析：在be后应填形容词。本句的意思为如果所有这些细胞连接起来，结

果将是惊人的，选astonishing。

B、Toothinfectionmaycausechildrenindangertoo.

C、Toothinfectionwillspreadtochildren'sbrain.

D^Childrenneedreceivedentalcareattheageof12.

标准答案：B」

知识点解析：推理判断题。根据原文“成年人不是唯一处于危险之中的人群。例

如，2007年华盛顿的医生说，一个男孩因牙齿感染扩散到脑部而丧生”，可推测牙

齿感染也会危及儿童，B）含义与之吻合，故为答案。原文并未提及2007年许多孩

子死于牙齿感染，故排除A）；原文仅举例说一个男孩牙齿感染扩散到脑部，不能

推出儿童牙齿感染一定会扩散到脑部，故排除C）；D）是对原文意思的杂糅，故排

除。
