18.A large number of people________ saved in Wenchuan earthquake,but the number of people who ________ killed or lost ________ reached more than 80,000.(  )
A.were; were; hasB.were; were; have
C.was; was; haveD.was; were; was

分析 很多人在汶川地震中被挽救,但是被杀死或失踪的人数量已经达到8万多.

解答 答案:A
A large number of people意为大量的人,做主语时,谓语用复数;who ________ killed or lost 引导的是定语从句,修饰people,所以第二空用复数;the number of people 意为…的数量,做主语时,谓语用单数.故答案为A.

点评 考查主谓一致.考生需掌握A large number of,the number of 等短语在连接主语时,谓语动词的选用.

9.Humans might be the most highly-evolved species on the planet,but most animals possess skills we can only dream of having.Imagine how much electricity we could save if we could see in the dark the way cats do.Imagine leaping from tree to tree like a monkey.Giraffes,which are otherwise calm and good-natured,sleep only 4.6hours a day.
We realized a long,long time ago that nature provides the best blueprint for invention.We've borrowed canals from beavers and reflectors from cat's eyes.Although the words"bionics"(仿生学) became popular only after the 1960s,history shows that nature has always provided ideas on solving everyday problems.Our archives(档案) don't go back to the time of Leonardo da Vinci and his bird-like flying machines,but we can take you to the late 19th century,where we applied those same principles for building our first practical airplanes.
To prepare for their flight at Kitty Hawk,the Wright brothers studied the movements of pigeons to figure out how they stayed high up when they were heavier than air.Their success inspired scores of successors to improve on the airplane by studying various aspects of nature.One of Orville Wright's pupils caught and stuffed seagulls to examine their wingspan.Meanwhile,two French inventors examined spinning sycamore(梧桐) seeds in an effort to apply those same motions,reversed,to a helicopter.
Some examples are more obvious than others.The outside of the airplane designed by the Wright brothers looks like a minimalistic(简单抽象艺术) structure.On the other hand,Barney Connett's fish submarine actually looks like a fish.
Some bio-inspired concepts have yet to be invented.In the 1960s,the US Army commissioned several university professors to conduct research on the motor skills animals in hope of applying those same abilities to tanks.Tanks that run like horses or jump like grasshoppers(蚂蚱)-sounds shocking,doesn't it?But imagine how life would change if we could achieve that.
63."Cats","monkeys"and"giraffes"mentioned in paragraph 1are examples to showB.
A.they are highly-evolved species as humans
B.animals have skills that humans do not possess
C.humans can learn animals'skills
D.they are skillful in different ways
64.What happened after the Wright brothers'success?B
A.People carried out a systematic study on pigeons.
B.People studied more animals and plants to develop the airplane.
C.People could fly their airplane for fun.
D.People kept their airplane at a French gallery.
65.Which of the following is true about the research carried out by the US Army?D
A.It has cost a large sum of money.
B.It has changed our life.
C.It has improved the abilities of tanks           
D.It has not succeeded yet.
66.What does the writer want to tell in the passage?A
A.many inventions get ideas from nature.
B.Some animals possess unique skills.
C.People should protect nature.
D.Bionics is far from perfect.

13.It was Thanksgiving morning.I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang.I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step.
"Any old papers,lady?"asked one of them.
I was busy.I wanted to say"no"until I looked down at their feet.They were wearing thin little sandals(凉鞋),wet with heavy snow.
"Come in and I'll make you a cup of hot cocoa."
They walked over and sat down at the table.Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor.I served them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside.Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.

"Am I rich?Pity,no!

Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence.But they matched.
I tasted the potatoes and stirred(搅动)the meat soup.Potatoes and brown meat soup,a roof over our heads,my man with a regular job,these matched,too.

3.Everyone has got two personalities-the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real.You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control your behavior,but when you're asleep,your sleeping position shows the real you.In a normal night,of course,people frequently change their position.The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.

8.More and more people are aware that an afternoon nap(小睡) can do a body good.But there are still doubters out there.To help spread the power of the afternoon nap,we list some common misunderstandings about napping we still hear.
Misunderstanding#1:Napping is only for the lazy.
Fact:Around a third of American adults nap on the average day,and for good reason:A short nap can improve everything from alertness(警觉) and memory to creativity and productivity(生产效率).And none of these sounds like laziness to us!
Misunderstanding#2:If I take a nap,I'll only wake up feeling worse.
Fact:That weak feeling after you wake up from a nap is real (it even has a name:sleep inertia),but it's not a guarantee(保证).How you feel after your nap is a factor of how long you sleep.Experts generally agree that a nap should last no longer than 30minutes."If it takes longer than 30minutes,you end up in deep sleep.You're going into a stage of sleep where you find it very difficult to wake up."said sleep expert Michael J.Breus,Ph.D.Next time you're in the mood for a nap,set your alarm for 20to 30minutes,tops.
Misunderstanding#3:You mustn't nap at work.
Fact:In fact,in the office environment,we're all for catching a few winks (眨眼) during the workday.Some companies have even created special rooms for afternoon naps as more and more employers come around to the idea that a well-rested workforce is a more productive workforce.If your employer doesn't offer a place to lay your head,try to find an empty conference room where you can close the door and turn off the lights.Really want.You can also take a nap during your lunch break on a park bench or in your car.
Misunderstanding#4:I'll be more productive if I just finish this task,rather than waste time sleeping.
Fact:Yes,you'll be away from your desk if you spend 10to 30minutes sleeping.But you'll likely make up for that"wasted"time afterward."My research shows that people feel tired after a long time of work during the day,"Sara Mednick told Bloomberg Businessweek."It's difficult to keep energetic and productive all day."However,a nap can leave you feeling refreshed and more ready to deal with the task at hand.
25.According to the passage,a short nap has the following benefits EXCEPTC.
A.making people think more quickly 
B.improving people's memory
C.allowing old people to live longer 
D.raising people's work efficiency
26.How you feel after your nap is connected withD.
A.the way of sleep   
B.the place of sleep   
C.the environment of sleep  
D.the length of sleep
27.Sara Mednick indicates thatB.
A.taking a short nap at work is a waste of time  
B.people become less productive without a nap
C.people become less productive after a nap    
D.napping is only for the lazy and young children
28.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?C
A.The advantages of taking a nap.
B.The more naps you take,the more productive you become.
C.4things people get wrong about napping.
D.How to take an afternoon nap correctly.
