3、raditionally male roles. by 1944, 25，000 women were working in the construction industry, carrying out back­breaking tasks. these women were permitted to carry out this exhausting and dangerous work on the basis that it would only be temporary and that their pay would be lower than that of men.

10、ns? this myth holds _1_ certain appeal because if it _2_ (be) true, then we could instantly become ten times _3_ (intelligent) just by firing up that sleepy majority of the brain!the idea that we use only a small fraction of the brain dates back to animal experiments in the 19th century. when scient

11、ists _4_ (stimulate) a specific part of the brain, the animal moved _5_ (it) leg or tail. and some scientists assumed that large parts of the brain were simply useless.then, in the early 20th century, scientists observed that stimulating certain regions of the brain had no physical effects, which _6

12、_ (call) the “silent cortex”. today we know that much of the “silent cortex” is actually devoted to complex activities like language, learning and imagining.actually, _7_ we sleep, many areas of the brain are extremely active. would you be smarter if your entire brain constantly worked to maximum ca

13、pacity? _8_ (interest) enough, the opposite is probably true. the less brain activity you need to perform a _9_ (give) task, the more the brain as a whole is capable _10_ doing.1_ 2._ 3._ 4._ 5._ 6._ 7._ 8._ 9._ 10._ 篇章導(dǎo)讀：本文是一篇說明文。我們?nèi)祟愔皇褂昧舜竽X的百分之十？是否激活沉睡的大部分大腦我們就可以比現(xiàn)在聰明十倍？很遺憾，科學(xué)證明事實(shí)并不是這樣的！1a考查冠詞。hold

14、 a certain appeal “有一些吸引力”。2were考查虛擬語氣。根據(jù)空格后的“then we could instantly become .”可知，此處是與現(xiàn)在事實(shí)相反的假設(shè)，要用虛擬語氣，故此處用were。3more intelligent考查形容詞的比較級。由設(shè)空前的“ten times”可知，此處表示比較，指(比以前)聰明十倍，應(yīng)填形容詞的比較級，而intelligent是多音節(jié)形容詞，故填more intelligent。4stimulated考查動詞的時態(tài)。本句描述19世紀(jì)科學(xué)家所做的實(shí)驗(yàn)，因此用一般過去時。5its考查代詞。這里its指代the animal'

15、;s。6are called考查動詞的時態(tài)、語態(tài)和主謂一致。which引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句，which在從句中指代regions，此處描述一種研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，且call與regions是邏輯上的動賓關(guān)系，故填are called。7as/when考查連詞。這句話的意思是“事實(shí)上，當(dāng)我們睡覺的時候，大腦的很多區(qū)域都是極度活躍的”。8interestingly考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，空格處修飾后面的整個句子，因此此處要用副詞interestingly。9given考查非謂語動詞。此處given作定語修飾task，由于give與task之間為邏輯上的動賓關(guān)系，故用過去分詞。10of考查介詞。be

16、capable of doing sth. “有能力做某事”。三、完形填空。閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的a、b、c和d四個選項(xiàng)中，選出可能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。after living near madrid for a year as an au pair (以幫做家務(wù)事等換取食宿的人) three years ago, it was nice to _1_ this weekend. i felt like i was at home and thought how _2_ one can be to feel like this in a place that isn't _

17、3_ your home. i now refer to this town as one of my homes from home and have learnt how home is where your _4_ is.a lot of people get homesick and it is a very _5_ feeling when away from _6_ ones and home comforts. _7_， i have learnt that you can feel at home when you are _8_ in that place with peop

18、le who _9_ you.through simply embracing every moment, _10_ friends and enjoying a new _11_， you can feel settled in a short amount of time. i did exactly this when moving to spain for the first time, as positive thoughts tend to bring positive experiences. luckily enough, i was _12_ with a host fami

24、頭的yet again, i am living in spain on my year abroad, but this time with students可知，作者重“訪(visit)”西班牙。2b根據(jù)上文的i felt like i was at home和下文的feel like this可知，在異國他鄉(xiāng)能找到家的感覺確實(shí)“幸運(yùn)(lucky)”。3d如果在某個地方“不一定(not necessarily)”就是家能找到家的感覺，那真是幸運(yùn)。4c根據(jù)上文的nice，felt like，feel like可知，作者認(rèn)識到家就是“心靈(heart)”的歸屬地。5a根據(jù)上文的a lot of

25、 people get homesick及常識可知，思鄉(xiāng)是一種“正常的(normal)”情感。6c根據(jù)上文的homesick可知，一個人遠(yuǎn)離自己“所愛的(loved)”人和家中的舒適，當(dāng)然會泛起鄉(xiāng)愁。7a下文提到的在異鄉(xiāng)也能找到家的感覺與上文意義上發(fā)生了轉(zhuǎn)折，故選however。8d9a根據(jù)上文的you can feel at home可知，此處意思是，如果在一個地方能與“關(guān)愛(care for)”自己的人在一起、覺得比較“舒服(comfortable)”，那自然能找到家的感覺。10b11b根據(jù)這兩個空所在句中的embracing every moment, enjoying和you can

26、feel settled in a short amount of time可知，如果能珍惜每個瞬間、“交(making)”些朋友、享受新的“文化(culture)”，那很快就能融入當(dāng)?shù)氐纳睢?2c根據(jù)下文的host family可知，“我”與寄宿家庭“生活(living)”在一起。13d根據(jù)下文的helped to ease the process of feeling happy and settled可知，寄宿家庭的成員都很“友好(friendly)”。14b根據(jù)上文的see how the children grow up可知，能“親歷(experience)”這一過程，作者感到很幸

27、福。15c上文的host family是提示。16d17a因?yàn)槭堑诙蝸砦靼嘌溃宰髡哌@次“安定(settling in)”下來要比上次更容易些，因?yàn)樗呀?jīng)“熟悉(accustomed to)”了當(dāng)?shù)氐奈幕?8c根據(jù)本空所在句中的moving away from home和different in comparison to what you call home可知，背井離鄉(xiāng)自然需要“適應(yīng)(adapt to)”異地不同于家鄉(xiāng)的很多方面。19c20b根據(jù)however可知，前后表示轉(zhuǎn)折。作者認(rèn)為雖然需要適應(yīng)很多新事物，但是這恰巧就是旅游、探索、“發(fā)現(xiàn)(discovering)”自我的“樂趣(

28、delight)”所在。四、短文改錯。dear steven，i would like to invite you to the annually coming­of­age ceremony of our school.this big event would be held in the school auditorium from 9 am to 11 am in march 12. all the senior three students are expect to attend it with the company of their parents and t
