6、wo,you get the best of both worlds.篇章导读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过回忆自己的童年经历认为博物学家是天生的，不是后天造就的。作者在文章最后总结，仅拥有一颗好奇心、一双敏锐的眼睛以及对世间动植物的热爱并不能成就一位科学家，因为一个科学家最突出、最基本的特点是应具备自我约束能力。1The first paragraph tells us that the author _.Alost his hearing when he was a child Bdidnt like his brothers and sisters Cwas interested in

7、 flowers and insects in his childhood Dwas born to a naturalists family 答案：C 推理判断题。第一段第一句中的“.convinced that naturalists are born and not made”表明作者认为博物学家是天生的，不是后天造就的。由关键信息“my brothers and sisters soon abandoned.flowers and insects”可知，他的姐妹兄弟对于花、虫等不感兴趣，但作者不像他们(Unlike them)，由此推知作者在童年时对花草是感兴趣的。故选 C 项。2Ac

9、学家首先应具备的是对自然界的热爱之情，故选C 项。3The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he_.Ajust reads about other peoples observations and discoveries Blacks some of the qualities required of scientists Chas a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmetic Dcomes up wit

10、h solutions in most natural ways 答案：B 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句，并结合第二句“One of the outstanding and essential qualities required is selfdiscipline,a quality I lack.”可知，作者认为自己不是科学家，因为一个科学家的基本素质就是有自律能力，但作者恰恰缺乏这一点。故选B 项。4The author couldnt remember his relatives clearly because_.Ahe didnt live very long with them

11、Bhe was too young when he lived with them Cthe family was extremely large Dhe was fully occupied with observing nature 答案：D 推理判断题。第二段作者回忆了在农场度过的日子，对于那里的狗、鸟等动物作者至今仍历历在目，但对那里的亲戚、房子、玩具已记不清了，可见他从小就专注于观察自然界中的一切，其他事情他几乎很少关注。故选D 项。BEarly one morning,more than a hundred years ago,an American inventor called

21、as from dreams Che was one of Howes best friends Dhe also had difficulty in falling asleep 答案：B细节理解题。根据第三段前两句“Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way.Thomas Edison,the inventor of the electric light,said his best ideas came into him in dreams.”可知，豪并不是唯一一个通过此方

22、法找到答案的人，爱迪生也是在梦中得到问题的答案的，所以答案是B。7Dreams are sometimes called“secret messages to us”because _.Astrange images are used to communicate ideas Bimages which have no meaning are used Cwe can never understand the real meaning Donly specially trained people can understand them 答案：A细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“this part

23、of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake.However,the unconscious part acts in a special way.It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first.”可知，大脑的一部分在无意识下工作，发信息到其他部分，这部分大脑使用的是一种奇怪的图像，所以答案是 A。.七选五You have some great ideas.But they dont come ou

28、entures.EA good social environment can influence your creative thinking positively.FLet your experiences show you more about the world and people around you.GIf you dont learn how to develop creative thinking,this skill,just like a muscle,will become poor and useless.篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。作者就如何培养创造性思维给出了有效的

29、建议。1A 空格前面提到人们因为朋友说的话或者他们自己觉得只有少数人才能成为具有创造力的天才而使自己的想法没有为大家所知。下文主要阐述了一些可以提高创造性思维的方法，因此，空处应该选一个承上启下的句子，故A 项“但是实际上，这种想法一点儿都不对”符合语境。2G 设空处前一句将创造力比喻成需要被锻炼的肌肉，G 项中的“like a muscle”与前文相呼应和承接，另结合句意，可确定G 项符合语境。3C设空后内容表述你知道的越多，你想知道的就会越多，你的大脑就越会得到锻炼。故C 项“因此，每天得到尽可能多的信息是很重要的”符合语境。4F 设空处前一句提到每天要尝试新事物，而F 项“让你的经历向你

30、展示有关你周围的世界和人的更多(信息)”正是这样做的结果。5 D 由 空 前的“begin thinking beyond your limitsfrom today”和后文的“your idea might be the next great idea to change the world”可知，D 项“你将很快拥有一个充满有趣的和令人兴奋的冒险经历的生活”符合语境。.语法填空The adobe dwellings(土坯房)_1_(build)by the Pueblo Indians of the American Southwest are admired by even _2_ mo

34、句主语是The adobe dwellings，谓语是 are admired，因此设空处需要填所给动词的非谓语形式，即用过去分词短语作定语表示一个被动的、已完成的动作。2the 考查冠词的用法。形容词最高级前用定冠词the。3ability 考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，空处在句中作表语，且前有 their 修饰，故填名词 ability。4using 考查非谓语动词。介词without 之后接动名词作宾语。5slowly 考查词性转换。修饰动词应用副词。6to cool 考查非谓语动词。这是adj./adv.enough to do句型，表示“足以”，不定式短语作结果状语。7at 考查介

35、词。at the same time“与此同时”，是固定搭配。8goes 考查动词时态和主谓一致。结合“day after day”及语境可知，这里应用一般现在时表示现状。主语为This cycle，故谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。9natural 考查词性转换。修饰名词应用形容词。10 how 考查疑问副词。根据“figured out(弄清楚，计算出),thick(厚)”可知，应填表示(数量、程度、大小等)多少的疑问副词how，引导宾语从句，在本句中表示“墙壁有多厚”。.书面表达学校正在组织科技创新大赛，你想为日常生活中某件物品(如钢笔、书 包、鞋 子)设 计 添 加 新 功 能 来 参
