On Oct. 16, 2018, one of the two co-founders of Microsoft, Paul G. Allen, 1 (die)at age 65 from cancer.

When 2 comes to Microsoft, the first person we think of was Bill Gates, the other co-founder of the firm. 3, Allen was just as important to the 4 (create)of the company. Allen was, many people say, a much quieter person. He was content with the science side of things, while Gates has the 5 (good)head for business.

When the pair started Microsoft in the mid-1970s, they focused on the microcomputer industry. Microcomputers were small computers 6 (design)to be used in the home. 7 they lacked, though, was an operating system, which is where Microsoft came in. The company’s big break came in 1980, 8 Microsoft created the MS-DOS operating system. Later came Windows.

After Allen passed away, Bill Gates made a statement 9 (praise)Allen, “Even in high school, before most people knew what a personal computer was, Paul predicted that chips would get super-powerful and would 10(eventual)give rise to a whole new industry. ”

【答案】

1died

2it

3However

4creation

5better

6designed

7What

8when

9to praise

10eventually

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章主要悼念了过世的微软创始人之一--Paul G. Allen,讲述了他和Bill Gates之间的创业经历,同时提到了Bill Gates对他的赞赏。

1考查时态。句意:20181016日,微软两位联合创始人之一保罗·g·艾伦(Paul G. Allen)因癌症去世,享年65岁。根据语境On Oct.16, 2018可知,应是一般过去时。故填died

2考查固定句式。句意:说到微软,我们首先想到的是该公司的另一位联合创始人比尔·盖茨。when it comes to… 固定句式,意为“当谈及……”。故填it

3考查副词。句意:然而,艾伦对公司的创立同样重要。分析可知,本句与前一句为转折关系,应用转折副词however。故填However

4考查名词。句意:然而,艾伦对公司的创立同样重要。to 为介词后应用名词形式。故填creation

5考查形容词比较级。句意:他对科学方面的东西很满意,而盖茨更擅长商业。分析可知,本句中将AllenGates进行对比,前一句中的形容词“quieter”暗指比较含义,因此所填空应用比较级。故填better

6考查非谓语。句意:微型计算机是设计用于家庭的小型计算机。分析可知,___6___ (design)to be used in the home应是之前名词small computers 的后置定语,动词design与其之间为被动关系,应用过去分词形式。故填designed

7考查名词性从句。句意:不过,他们缺少的是一个操作系统,而这正是微软的切入点。分析可知,___7___ they lacked为主语从句,从句中动词lacked缺少宾语,应用引导词what。故填What

8考查定语从句。句意:微软的重大突破出现在1980年,当时微软开发了MS-DOS操作系统。分析可知,___8___ Microsoft created the MS-DOS operating system. Later came Windows 应是之前时间名词1980的定语从句,先行词在从句中作时间状语,应用关系副词when引导。故填when

9考查动词不定式。句意:艾伦去世后,比尔·盖茨发表声明赞扬了艾伦。分析可知,此空应是动词不定式表目的。故可填to praise

10考查副词。句意:甚至在高中时,在大多数人还不知道个人电脑是什么之前,保罗就预言芯片将变得超级强大,并最终催生出一个全新的产业。分析可知,副词修饰动词短语“give rise to”,在句中作状语。故填eventually

语法填空之非谓语好判断

非谓语形式在语法填空题中考查多为作定语或作状语形式比较多。判断方法如下:第一步,首先判断句中已经存在谓语;第二步,根据位置判断非谓语的句子成分;第三步,判断主被动关系,选择现在分词形式还是过去分词形式。比如文章第6小题:

Microcomputers were small computers ___6___ (design)to be used in the home.

第一步,句中存在谓语“were”;第二步,“___6___ (design)to be used in the home”结构在名词之后,应是后置定语;第三步,与名词small computers之间为被动关系,应用过去分词。因此答案为designed

【题目】 If you were like most kids, your mother must have told you there were three no-no’s when it came to your fingers: Don’t put them in an electrical outlet, don’t stick them up your nose (at least not in public), and don’t use them when you are counting. 1 But experts in education and cognition now believe that using your fingers to do math is not only a perfectly good idea but may even help children become superior students.

It certainly makes sense. When children count on their fingers, they take an abstract concept — mathematics — and translate it into the most basic and visual form 2. Even when we aren’t actually counting on figures, they still can help us on math problems.

3 It activates when we respond to heat, pressure, pain, or the use of a given finger.

Studying brain scans, researchers discovered that when students aged 8 to 13 work on subtraction (减法 ) equations, this region “lights up” on the scans, even if the students aren’t using their fingers. The more complex the problem is, the more activities are detected.

The connection between finger use and math ability has been proved on old-fashioned math tests as well. With their eyes closed, first graders were asked to identify which of their fingers a researcher was touching. 4. When college students were given the same quiz, the highest scores once again performed best on calculation tests.

So what does all this mean? For one thing, parents and teachers shouldn’t discourage children from counting on their fingers. 5. Memorizing the multiplication tables may help, but it is not the best option. “I would like to see interesting and creative representations of ideas.” says Jo Boaler, a professor of math education.

Recently, a series of activities have been designed to strengthen students’ perception of their fingers. Maybe in the near future, there will be only two no-no’s regarding the use of fingers.

A.There is a section of the brain, called the somatosensory finger area.

B.Researchers also stress that students simply learn better using visual tools.

C.The first two laws of fingers are as true as ever.

D.That may sound simplistic, but the researchers offer an interesting explanation.

E.Researchers found those scoring highest on the finger-ID questions scored higher on a math test.

F.Researchers are unimpressed by those students who finish quickly as well.

G.In fact, experts believe the brain is built to “see” any process with our fingers.

【题目】 E-cigarettes lead to as many lung diseases as tobacco products, a new study has found. The report from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill compared saliva (唾液) samples from tobacco smokers, e-cigarette smokers and nonsmokers. Researchers found that e-cigarette smokers were likely to develop dangerous proteins associated with lung diseases. The study adds to a growing body of evidence proving that e-cigarettes might not be the perfect alternative smokers addicted to tobacco are looking for.

Last year a Surgeon General’s report claimed that the use of e-cigarettes among a certain group of people jumped 900 percent from 2011 to 2015 and more studies were carried out to research their side effects. That same year, the FDA put e-cigarettes in the tobacco products the administration monitors.

Previous research from UCLA has proven that e-cigarettes can cause lifelong damage to one’s heart, and that one puff (吸一口烟) of an e-cigarette is all it takes to increase one’s risk of having a heart attack. For the new study UNC researchers observed 15 e-cigarette users, 14 cigarette smokers and 15 nonsmokers. The study revealed that e-cigarette smokers have raised levels of NET-related proteins in their airways, the increased levels of which can lead to lung illnesses, making it difficult for patients to breathe.

Study author Dr Mehmet Keismer said, “There is confusion about whether e-cigarettes are ‘safer’ than cigarettes because the potential adverse effects of e-cigarettes are only beginning to be studied. Our results suggest that e-cigarettes might be just as bad as cigarettes.” Dr Keismer also stressed that e-cigarettes come with their own harmful risks along with those linked to tobacco, which challenges the concept that switching from cigarettes to e-cigarettes is a healthier alternative.

A citizen named Dyclna said, “The e-cigarettes probably make you cough less, but nobody gives a warning about your lungs. For producers, it’s just a money thing — it’s just about getting profits from it. The problem is that our government just stands there with its hands behind the back.”

1Why did the FDA list e-cigarettes into monitored products?

A.It might realize the harm of them.

B.It wanted to improve their quality.

C.It aimed to reduce their illegal sales.

D.It might be warned by the government.

2What harm does the increased level of NET do to people?

A.Leading to weight gain.B.Spoiling people’s appetite.

C.Making breathing hard.D.Speeding people’s heartbeat.

3What does Dyclna mainly want to express?

A.E-cigarettes are safer than regular ones.

B.E-cigarettes can only benefit few people.

C.Producers make a high profit from e-cigarettes.

D.Governments are to blame for e-cigarettes’ consumption.

4What is the best title for the text?

A.E-cigarettes: A new way of smoking.

B.E-cigarettes: A better way than tobacco?

C.E-cigarettes: The harmful proteins it produces.

D.E-cigarettes: The urgent need of government control.

For decades, sociologists have been trying to understand why certain people rise to the top of their fields. A number of theories have emerged, so if you're struggling on the path of success, perhaps these will give you some new clues.

IQ is Overrated

A high IQ is necessary, but it is not adequate to predict executive competence and corporate success. While people with high test scores do have more opportunities, that doesn't mean that smart people are more successful. In fact, in many fields the link between success and intelligence is often weak or non-existent. Nobel Prize winning Israeli-American psychologist, Daniel Kahneman, found that people would rather do business with a person they like and trust rather than someone they don’t, even if the likeable person is offering a lower quality product or service at a higher price.

The 10,000 Hours Theory

A Professor at the University of Colorado named Anders Ericsson decided to look at the differences between amateurs and professionals. In 1993, he released a paper that found on average amateurs only got about 4000 hours of practice, but professionals had practiced for at least 10,000 hours. While there's some debate over whether 10,000 hours is a rule or just a theory, many experts agree that a significant number of people who are considered "great" have, on average, 10,000 hours of experience.

Deliberate Practice

If no one is born talented and you need 10,000 hours of practice, what's the most effective way of using those hours? One theory is something sociologists call "deliberate practice." Essentially, there are six elements. The practice needs to be meant to specifically improve performance, and is even more effective if there's coaching. It needs to be repeatable, and feedback regularly is crucial. It also has to be demanding, either physically or mentally. If you're doing all of this correctly, it shouldn't be a fun experience. An example would be a basketball player who isn't very good at free throws spending hours and hours just doing free throws while being coached. Not a great time no matter how big of a basketball fan you are.

No One Succeeds on Their Own

While it would be nice to succeed simply because we work hard, life doesn't work that way. We need help and support from friends, family and teachers, and then we need chances from employers and other key figures in the fields we choose to pursue. In order to succeed, the gifts and interests of a person need to be encouraged, especially at a young age. Then as they grow up, people need to be given opportunities, breaks and second chances. Without help from other people, it makes it impossible to succeed because as Gladwell points out, "… no one—not rock stars, not professional athletes, not software billionaires, and not even geniuses — ever makes it alone."

You Have Amazing Potential

On average, the human mind can remember a sequence of seven to nine numbers. After that it becomes incredibly hard to remember all the numbers in the right order. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University wanted to know if someone of average intelligence could break that barrier with practice. Through a lot of tests, researchers discovered what they called "the remarkable potential of 'ordinary' adults and their amazing capacity for change with practice." Their research showed that even "ordinary" people have the potential to be great by challenging themselves. If you work hard, your goals can be more attainable than you thought.
