17.Besides the others,there was still       third one who said he was       second to reach the end.(  )
A.a; aB.a; theC.the; theD.the; a

分析 除了那两个之外,还有一个人说他是第二个到达终点的.

解答 答案:B 题干中third one没有排序的含义,而是表示在原有数量上的增加,意思是再一个,又一个,要和不定冠词连用;句中second表示第二个,是序数词,要用定冠词来修饰.故选B.

点评 冠词是一种虚词,本身不能独立使用,只能放在名词前帮助说明名词所指的人或事物,它是英语词性中最小的一类,只有三个,一种是不定冠词a,an;一种是定冠词the.此外也有些特定场合不用冠词,即通常所称的零冠词.不定冠词表示泛指,定冠词表示特指.

1.Imagine you're at a party full of strangers.You're nervous.Who are these people?How do you start a conversation?Fortunately,you've got a thing that sends out energy at tiny chips in everyone's name tag (标签).The chips send back name,job,hobbies,and the time available for meeting-whatever.Making new friends becomes simple.
This hasn't quite happened in real life.But the world is already experiencing a revolution using RFID technology.
An RFID tag with a tiny chip can be fixed in a product,under your pet's skin,even under your own skin.Passive RFID tags have no energy source-batteries because they do not need it.The energy comes from the reader,a scanning device,that sends out energy (for example,radio waves) that starts up the tag immediately.
Such a tag carries information specific to that object,and the data can be updated.Already,RFID technology is used for recognizing each car or truck on the road and it might appear in your passport.Doctors can put a tiny chip under the skin that will help locate and obtain a patient's medical records.At a nightclub in Paris or in New York the same chip gets you into the VIP section and pays for the bill with the wave of an arm.
Take a step back:10or 12years ago,you would have heard about the coming age of computing.One example always seemed to surface:Your refrigerator would know when you needed to buy more milk.The concept was that computer chips could be put everywhere and send information in a smart network that would make ordinary life simpler.
RFID tags are a small part of this phenomenon."The world is going to be a loosely coupled set of individual sall devices,connected wirelessly,"predicts Dr.J.Reich.Human right supporters are nervous about the possibilities of such technology.It goes too far tracking school kids through RFID tags,they say.We imagine a world in which a beer company could find out not only when you bought a beer but also when you drank it.And how many beers.Accompanied by how many biscuits.
When Marconi invented radio,he thought it would be used for ship-to-shore communication.Not for pop music.Who knows how RFID and related technologies will be used in the future.Here's a wild guess:Not for buying milk.

31.The article is intended toD
A.warn people of the possible risks in adopting RFID technology
B.explain the benefits brought about by RFID technology
C.convince people of the uses of RFID technology
D.predict the applications of RFID technology
32.We know from the passage that with the help of RFID tags,peopleA
A.will have no trouble getting data about others
B.will have more energy for conversation
C.will have more time to make friends
D.won't feel shy at parties any longer
33.Passive RFID tags chiefly consist ofD
A.scanning devices
B.radio waves
C.batteries
D.chips
34.Why are some people worried about RFID technology?C
A.Because children will be tracked by strangers.
B.Because market competition will become more fierce.
C.Because their private lives will be greatly affected.
D.Because customers will be forced to buy more products.
35.The last paragraph implies that RFID technologyB
A.will not be used for such matters as buying milk
B.will be widely used,including for buying milk
C.will be limited to communication uses
D.will probably be used for pop music.

8.[1]The little country schoolhouse was heated by an old-fashioned coal stove.An eight-year-old boy named Glenn Cunningham had the job of coming to school early each day so that he could use kerosene (煤油) to start the fire and warm the room before his teacher and his classmates arrived.One cold morning someone mistakenly filled the kerosene container he used with gasoline,and disaster struck.
[2]The class and teacher arrived to find the schoolhouse was in flames.Terrified on realizing that Glenn was inside,they rushed in and managed to take the unconscious little boy out of the flaming building,more dead than alive.He had major burns over the lower half of his body and was rushed to a nearby country hospital.
[3]From his bed,the badly burned,semi-conscious little boy faintly heard the doctor talking to his mother.The doctor told his mother that her son would surely die for the terrible fire had destroyed the lower part of his body.
[4]But the brave boy didn't want to die.Glenn made up his mind that he would survive.And somehow,to the amazement of the doctor,he did ___.Yet when the danger of dying was past,he again heard the doctor and his mother speaking quietly.The mother was told that since the fire had destroyed so much flesh in his legs that it would almost be better if he had died,since he was surely to be a lifetime cripple (瘸子) with no use at all of his legs.His mother refused to let the doctors cut off his legs.
[5]Once more this brave little boy made up his mind.He would not be a cripple.He would walk.But unfortunately,from the waist down,Glenn had no motor ability.His thin legs just hung there,all but lifeless.
[6]Eventually,Glenn was released from the hospital.Every day afterwards,his mother and father would massage(按摩) his legs,but there was no feeling,no control,nothing.Yet his determination that he would walk was as strong as ever.
[7]When he wasn't in bed,he had to be in a wheelchair.One sunny day his mother wheeled him out into the yard to get some fresh air.This day,instead of sitting there,he threw himself from the chair.Glenn pulled himself across the grass,dragging his legs behind him.
[8]He worked his way to the white fence bordering their yard.With great efforts,he raised himself up on the fence.Then he began dragging himself along the fence,determined that he would walk.He started to do this every day until he wore a smooth path all around the yard beside the fence.There was nothing he wanted more than to develop life in those legs.
[9]Eventually,through the daily massage and his determination,Glenn did develop the ability first to stand up,then to walk with help,then to walk by himself-and finally miraculously-to run.
[10]Glenn began to run to school.He ran for the joy of running and being able to run.He ran everywhere that he could.The people in his town would often see him run by on his way who knows where and smile.Later in college Glenn made the track team where his tremendous determination paid off.He eventually received the nickname the"Kansas Flyer."In February 1934,in New York City,this determined young man,Dr.Glenn Cunningham,ran the mile in four minutes and eight seconds,the world's fastest indoor mile!
 
61.What's the main idea of Paragraph 1?(no more than 8 words)How the disaster struck/happened.Or:The cause of the disaster.
62.What does"they"in Paragraph 2 refer to?(no more than 5 words)Classmates and the teacher./The class and teacher.
63.What danger did Glenn face at first according to the doctor?( no more than 5 words)Glenn would (surely) die.Or:The danger of dying/death.Or:Losing his life.
64.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with one word.survive
65.Explain the underlined sentence in Paragraph 8 in English.(no more than 12 words)His greatest wish was to be able to use his legs.
66.What does the author want to tell us about Glenn in the last paragraph?( no more than 8 words)His success and honour (after the disaster.) Or:Glenn's determination/efforts paid off.
67.Please give the passage a proper title.(no more than 6 words)A True Story of Determination Or:The Power of Determination Or:Glenn's Determination
Or:What Matters is the Strong Determination..

5.Will you get a good job?What will you do?Many new graduates feel lost when they consider the endless list of career choices.They've invested a lot of money for their diploma(文凭)and now an important question stares them in the fact.
I've seen so many now graduates who do not know how to use the degree they have just earned.An example was Dave,who loved sports and had played baseball throughout his college years.He had his heart set on working for Nike.But he had never made clear in his own mind what kind of job he could do for Nike,so nothing ever happened.Another example was Allison,who was a history major.She wanted to work as an event planner,but unfortunately,no one hired her.Why?No experience.
Failing to do some solid career exploration first,to get a clear idea of the types of jobs you can do,is a big error that many college students make.After our suggestion,Dave and Allison both found their jobs.To ensure a brighter future,follow these effective strategies:
-Make educated career choices.Identify the job you want.Conduct research.Ask parents to advise you on actual job duties.Consider what your natural talents are,and look for positions where you can use them.
-Don't rely on the Internet.Networking is an effective tool-be sure it's a job-hunting strategy you use.New studies from the Department of Labor state that only 4% of job-seekers found their job on the Internet.The fact is that 63% of all jobs are filled by contacts.
Employers are making quick decisions.Most people lose the job in the first minute of the interview.It's deadly to let the employers focus quickly on how well you can perform the job.
-Practice your interviewing skills.Be ready for the tough questions by first writing out good answers to possible questions and having a role-playing interview with your friend.

60.What does the author seem to be most probable?D
A.A job-hunter.       B.A magazine editor.
C.A website owner.    D.A job-seeking adviser.
61.In order to be well prepared for the interview,you'd betterC.
A.surf the Internet for contacts
B.get along well with your workmates
C.practice the interview for several times
D.take care of your dress
62.According to the text it is suggested that Dave shouldA.
A.let others know what he can do for them
B.study further to get a higher degree
C.give up his interest in playing basketball
D.take part-time jobs first
63.For Allison,she shouldB.
A.find a job in another field
B.find some work to gain work experience
C.not tell the employer her major
D.offer more personal information.

12.I am a writer.I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language-the way it can evoke(唤起)an emotion,a visual image,a complex idea,or a simple truth.Language is the tool of my trade.And I use them all-all the Englishes I grew up with.
Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California,I've been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks.Like others,I have described it to people as"broken"English.But I feel embarrassed to say that.It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than"broken",as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed,as if it lacked a certain wholeness.I've heard other terms used,"limited English,"for example.But they seem just as bad,as if everything is limited,including people's perceptions (认识) of the limited English speaker.
I know this for a fact,because when I was growing up,my mother's"limited"English limited my perception of her.I was ashamed of her English.I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say.That is,because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect.And I had plenty of evidence to support me:the fact that people in department stores,at banks,and at restaurants did not take her seriously,did not give her good service,pretended not to understand her,or even acted as if they did not hear her.
I started writing fiction in 1985.And for reasons I won't get into today,I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with:the English she used with me,which for lack of a better term might be described as"broken",and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese,her internal (内在的) language,and for that I sought to preserve the essence (本质),but neither an English nor a Chinese structure.I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show:her intention,her feelings,the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.

61.By saying"Language is the tool of my trade",the author means thatD.
A.she uses English in foreign trade      B.she is fascinated by languages
C.she works as a translator              D.she is a writer by profession
62.The author used to think of her mother's English asC.
A.impolite       B.amusing         C.imperfect        D.practical
63.Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?B
A.Americans do not understand broken English.
B.The author's mother was not respected sometimes.
C.The author'mother had positive influence on her.
D.Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts.
64.It can be inferred that the English the author's mother used wasD.
A.well structured                     B.in the old style
C.easy to translate                   D.rich in meaning
65.What is the passage mainly about?D
A.The author's experiences of using different Englishes.
B.The author's misunderstanding of"limited"English.
C.The limitation of the author's perception of her mother.
D.The changes of the author's attitude to her mother's English.
