12.I don't know who invented _______ telephone,it's really _______ most useful invention.(  )
A.the; aB.the; theC.a; aD.不填;不填

分析 我不知道谁发明了电话,它真是最有用的一项发明.

解答 答案:A
句中the telephone表示类指,要用定冠词来限定;a most useful invention表示有用的一项发明,most表示程度,修饰useful,不是最高级;表示泛指一个,要用不定冠词来限定.故选A.

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.

3.Before I studied psychology,I used to think that people would laugh when funny things occurred.While I was right about that,I discovered there are lots of other psychological factors that make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke.When someone laughs at a joke,there will usually be more than one reason that makes him laugh-and the more reasons there are,the more powerful the joke will be.
I was attending a stand-up comedy show in Egypt,and when the man started to make fun of pedestrians crossing streets,everyone laughed their hearts out.The main reason those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt angry towards pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly.The joke wasn't only funny,it also made the audience feel that they were right about being angry at those pedestrians.That is,people were laughing both because of the funny joke and because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got.
The better a joke makes a person feel,and the more it includes other psychological factors,the more the person will like it.For example,if you envy one of your friends,and someone tells a joke that is funny and,at the same time,makes your friend seem stupid,then you will probably laugh at it louder than if you weren't jealous of him.
In short,we don't laugh only when we hear something funny; we also laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that results from the other psychological factors involved in the joke.I strongly discourage making fun of anyone or belittling someone to make someone else laugh.All I want to explain is that if your joke supports a person's emotions,he will certainly like it a lot.

25.What did the author find out after studying psychology?B
A.Only good jokes make people laugh
B.Many factors lead to people laughing.
C.Funny things can make people laugh
D.Laughter can make people healthy.
26.Why did the audience laugh loud at the pedestrians?D
A.They played a trick on the pedestrians.
B.The pedestrians behaved in a funny way.
C.They could feel the pedestrians'happiness.
D.Their emotion was approved of by the show.
27.What does the underlined word"belittling"probably mean?C
A.Annoy           B.Blame     
C.Look down on    D.Make up to
28.What is the author's attitude towards those who take pleasure in making fun of others?C
A.defensive        B.indifferent   
C.negative         D.casual.

7.Clean your ears,because airport security might soon be scanning them.According to a recent discovery,the shape of ears could provide a reliable new way of identifying people at airports.
Researchers discovered that ears of each person have a unique shape and they have created a system that can scan them.The ear scanning technique uses a technology called image ray transform that highlights all the tubular structures (结构) of the ear and measures them.Professor Mark Nixon,a computer scientist who led the team from the University of Southampton,believes ear scanning could take place as passengers walk through security gates,for example,by placing cameras on either side to record an image of their ears.Comparing the results against a database of ear shapes,the new system could help airport security workers instantly identify passengers.
Nixon and his team tested 252 images of different ears and found the system was able to match each ear to a separate image held in its database with 99 percent accuracy.
Besides ear scanning,there have been other systems developed for identity recognition.
"With facial recognition,the systems are often confused by crows feet (鱼尾纹) and other signs of ageing,"Nixon said."Your ears,however,age very gracefully.They grow proportionally (按比例) and your lobe (耳垂) gets a bit larger,but otherwise your ears are fully formed from birth."What's more,facial recognition software is often confused by changes in expression so people need to control their faces and in some cases even avoid wearing make-up.
An ear scan system would also offer a less invasive alternative to retina (视网膜) scanning,which requires passengers to stare at scanners from a close range.
Fingertip detection has long been the most effective way of identifying someone.Nixon expects there to be a combination of different techniques that can be used at the same time to identify a person."
56.The ear scanning system would help to find outC
A.where you come from                          
B.whether you are healthy
C.who you are                                                       
D.who shares your ear shape
57.The article does not sayD.
A.who developed the system                            
B.how the system works
C.where the system can be applied                
D.how long the system took to develop
58.Ear scanning would work better than facial recognition mainly becauseB
A.the ear scanning system is computerized 
B.ears change less with age than faces
C.facial expressions are often the same                 
D.facial appearances aren't unique
59.The underlined word"invasive"in the last but one paragraph possibly means"D".
A.comfortable          
B.expensive                 
C.disappointing                 
D.annoying
60.Nixon has developed the ear scanning system while there's already the fingertip detection becauseC.
A.ear scanning can be used at airports                  
B.fingertip detection is not so convenient
C.he doesn't think one system is enough      
D.ear shapes are easier to read than fingerprints.
