16.John is clever,but _______ he sometimes makes some careless mistakes.(  )
A.in spite ofB.on the other hand
C.so long asD.on the whole

分析 John聪明,但是另一方面他有时会犯一些粗心的错误.

解答 答案是B.本题主要考查介词短语辨析.in spite of 尽管,不管,表示让步;on the other hand从另一方面来讲,往往前后表示不同甚至相反的方面;so long as 只要,表示条件;on the whole从总体上;根据句意,空格前后讲到不同的方面:一方面聪明,另一方面会犯错误,所以答案选择B.

点评 本题考查介词短语的语义辨析,考生在平时的学习中应注意积累相应的短语和词汇,并牢记其意思.在做题时,将短语的意思和题干相结合,从语法、句子结构尤其是句意上去判断,句意通顺,符合逻辑,即正确答案.

6.[1]Do you remember the title of the last book you read?Are names sometimes just beyond your brain's reach?While forgetfulness isn't necessarily a sign that something's wrong,it can be frustrating(令人沮丧的).But simple methods can help to sharpen your memory.
[2]Challenge your habits.Sometimes a little bit of habit changing goes a long way.For example,use the‘wrong'hand to do an everyday task several times a day.If you usually brush your teeth with your right hand,use your left.The brain‘knows'whew you're using the wrong hand.It's that confusion that stimulates new brain circuits,as the brain struggles to master a new task.
[3]Get involved in niusic.Listening to music can improve your ability to concentrate and help you to remember what you've learnt.Some types of music actually cause brain neurons(神经细胞)to fire more quickly.If you're really looking forward to sharpening your memory,take up a musical instrument.Whatever the instrument,learning to p1ay will tune your brain's ability to analyse and focus.
[41Go out of your way to stay mentally active.What really counts is not the amount of book learning you did at school or university,it's how much you actively use your mind.For example,doing crossword puzzles,learning a second language or playing games can exercise your brain.
[5].Make sure that you get enough of the B vitamins in your diet.They help to repair brain tissue,and turn food into mental energy.Eat fish 2 or 3 times a week.If you drink coffee,you'll not only get a short-term boost in your ability to concentrate but also long-term benefits as well.Besides,the brain is 85%water,so if you don't drink at least 8 large glasses of water a day,you could suffer from memory loss.

7.It is,perhaps,no accident that many of the outstanding figures of the past were amazingly  versatile men.Right up until very recent times,it was possible for an intelligent person to be familiar with almost every branch of knowledge.Thus,men of genius like Leonardo da Cinci or Sir Philip Sidney,engaged in many careers at once as a matter of course.Da Vinci was so busy with his numerous inventions,that he hardly found the time to complete his paintings; Sidney,who died in battle when he was only thirty-two years old,was not only a great soldier,but a brilliant scholar and poet as well.Both these men came very near to fulfilling the Renaissance (文艺复兴) ideal of the‘universal man',the man who was expert at everything.
Today,we rarely,if ever,hear that a musician has just invented a new type of space rocket.Knowledge has become divided and subdivided into countless,narrowly-defined fields.The specialist is respected; the versatile person,far from being admired,is more often regarded with distrust.The modern world is a world of highly-skilled‘experts'who have had to devote the greater part of their lives to a very limited field of study in order to compete with their fellows.
With this high degree of specialization,the frontiers of knowledge are steadily being pushed back more rapidly than ever before.But this has not been achieved without considerable cost.The scientist,who outside his own particular subject is little more than a fool,is a modern phenomenon; as is the man of letters who is hardly aware of the rapid progress that has been made in technology.Similarly,specialization has indirectly affected quite ordinary people in every walk of life.Many activities which were once pursued (追求) for their own sakes,are often given up in despair:they require techniques,the experts tell us,which take a lifetime to master.Why learn to play the piano,when you can listen to the world's greatest pianists in your own drawing-room?
Little by little,we are becoming more and more separate from each other.It is almost impossible to talk to your neighbor about his job,even if he is engaged in roughly the same work as you are.The Royal Society in Britain includes among its members only the most admirable scientists in the country.Yet it is highly confusing to find that even here,as one of its fellows put it,at an academic(学术的) lecture only 10% of the members can understand 50% of what is being said!

57.The underlined expression"versatile men"refers toC.
A.highly-skilled specialists   B.brilliant scholars
C.talented people              D.admirable scientists
58.According to the passage,if da Vinci and Sydney lived in the modern world,D.
A.they would enjoy a better reputation
B.people would look up to them in amazement
C.they might have made greater achievements
D.they might not be truly appreciated by people
59.By quoting"at lecture only 10% of the members can understand 50% of what is being said",the writer wants to show that the high-degree specializationD.
A.has made scientists unwilling to share their achievements
B.has widened the academic gap between scientists in the same field
C.has indirectly affected people in every walk of life
D.has brought about a significant increase in interpersonal distance
60.The writer of the passage takes aBattitude towards the high-degree specialization.
A.pessimistic  B.negative  C.supportive  D.friendly.
