Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
体裁:说明文 话题:现代科技 时间:5分钟
Anyone who has ever lost keys or money wishes for a simple but effective way to make sure it never happens again.A US company is trying to help.
Using a tiny microchip which is implanted into the arm,they have come up with a replacement for cash or credit cards that cannot be left at home or dropped on the bus.
The Verichip is about the size of a grain of rice and works using radio frequency identification technology.At a shop,a radio frequency “reader” would send a signal and the chip in your arm would respond with your unique identity number.That would give the “reader” your financial information,and money could be taken directly from your accounts and you wouldn't even have to reach for your wallet.
The company also hopes to include other information on the chip,such as medical records,building security codes(密码)and passwords,making life even easier.
But not everyone is happy with the developments.Critics say that a lot can go wrong with the chip.A clever thief could build a fake(假的) reader that would steal your information without you knowing.So your money could still be stolen.Privacy is a big issue too.Stores,or even the government,only need to track the chip to find out what you buy,how much you spend and where you go.
And if you want to get rid of your chip,you would need an operation to remove it.
【语篇导读】 本文主要介绍了一种新产品the Verichip。

2.Which is true of the Verichip?
A.Your information on it will always be safe.
B.Medical records have already been included.
C.You can easily reach for your wallet using it.
D.An operation has to be performed to remove it.
解析 细节理解题。依据最终一段中的“you would need an operation to remove it”可知D项正确。
答案 D
3.What can be inferred from the text?

B.The Verichip company has financial problems.
C.The chip needs improving to be widely accepted.

体裁:说明文 话题:人生经受 时间:6分钟
Bob Fox arrived in a well-used truck.He brought something to light a fire with,a smoker,a long-handled brush,a metal hive(蜂箱)tool,and a hive.
As Bob moved about,he said in a low,calm voice,“You'd be amazed how many people call me with a swarm(一大群)like this;and by the time I come,they've destroyed the whole thing,down to the last bee.” We all shook our heads.
Bob said this swarm was impressive,about 15,000 bees.He placed the hive in a proper place.Holding the smoker close to the swarm,Bob pumped the bellows(风箱).Smoke has a calming effect on bees.Bob said this group was easy to deal with.They were heavy with honey,and their main purpose was to hold the group together until they could find a new hive.
He continued to smoke the swarm and make the bees fall into the hive.Most bees would only follow the queen to a new living place (yes,she has ladies-in-waiting that tend her every need).By dusk,most of the bees had disappeared into the hive.
“Well,it looks like we've got them all,” I looked hopefully in Bob's direction.He paused.“If you don't mind,we'll wait a bit longer,” he said. “They have sent out scouts,and I want to be sure we don't leave any behind.” So we waited.And,look! Scouts returned.
If the hive is healthy,the bees will increase in population.When the queen senses that it's time for the hive to split,she will lose weight so she can fly,and then leave the hive with a large part of the bees.The bees left behind will hurry to hatch another queen and rebuild.
If one day you find a swarm of bees in your backyard,call a local beekeeper.Then sit back and enjoy the show.Get your camera,because you'll want to share this amazing phenomenon with everyone you know,especially children.And if you've gone this far,you might as well buy a hive of your own.We did.
【语篇导读】 假如你家后院有一窝蜜蜂,你就可以叫来当地的养蜂人,然后你就可以安静地坐着观赏养蜂人是如何娴熟地把大群的蜜蜂魔术般地收入蜂箱。本文叙述的就是养蜂人Bob Fox 逮蜜蜂的过程。
5.Bob thought the bees weren't difficult to handle mainly because ______.
A.they were too heavy with honey to move about
B.his smoke had a better effect on them
C.all of them were heavy in weight
D.they didn't find a new hive
解析 考查细节理解。依据第三段最终一句“They were heavy with honey,and their main purpose was to hold the group together until they could find a new hive.”可知,这群蜜蜂在找到新的蜂窝之前会聚集在一起,所以Bob认为这群蜜蜂不难收集。
答案 D
6.Bob wanted to wait a little longer because ______.
A.there might be some bees that hadn't come back
B.those bees he had sent away didn't return
C.the longer he stayed,the more honey he'd collect
D.the queen hadn't turned up
解析 考查细节理解。依据第五段可知,Bob认为蜜蜂会派出侦察员,这些侦察员现在可能还没有从外面返回,Bob不想把它们落下。所以A项正确。
答案 A
7.We can infer from the last but one paragraph______.
A.there is only one queen in a hive
B.the queen will leave if she finds no one supports her
C.the queen must keep fit to control others
D.fatty queens are not welcome in a hive
解析 考查推理推断。文章的倒数其次段讲到,蜂王感觉到了该分家的时候便会携大批蜜蜂飞走,而剩下的蜜蜂便赶忙孵化另一只蜂王,文中的another queen是解题的关键,据此可推断出,一个蜂窝里应当只有一只蜂王。
答案 A
8.What do we know of Bob Fox?
A.He is a local beekeeper.
B.He is fond of smoking the bees for fun.
C.He usually makes the bees fall into the hive and kills them.
D.When people are attacked by a swarm of bees,he'll be called to drive them away.
解析 考查细节理解。文章最终一段第一句话“假如你在你家后院发觉了一窝蜜蜂,就给当地的养蜂人打电话”示意Bob是当地的一位养蜂人,全文对他捕蜂过程的描述也证明白这一点。
答案 A
【长难句解读】
原文 Get your camera,because you'll want to share this amazing phenomenon with everyone you know, especially children.
译文 带上你的相机,由于你会想与你生疏的每一个人尤其是孩子们共享这惊人的现象。
分析 该句是一个祈使句,其中包含一个由because引导的缘由状语从句,在该从句中还有一个省略that的定语从句you know修饰先行词everyone。
