They were, by far, the largest and most distant objects that scientists had ever detected: a strip of enormous cosmic clouds some 15 billion light years from earth. 1) But even more important, it was the farthest that scientists had been able to look into the past, for what they were seeing were the patterns and structures that existed 15 billion years ago.That was just about the moment that the universe was born. What the researchers found was at once both amazing and expected; the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Cosmic Background Explorer satellite—Cobe—had discovered landmark evidence that the universe did in fact begin with the primeval explosion that has become known as the Big Bang (the theory that the universe originated in an explosion from a single mass of energy). 2) The existence of the giant clouds was virtually required for the Big Bang, first put forward in the 1920s, to maintain its reign as the dominant explanation of the cosmos.According the theory, the universe burst into being as a submicroscopic, unimaginable dense knot of pure energy that flew outward in all directions, emitting radiation as it went, condensing into particles and then into atoms of gas. Over billions of years, the gas was compressed by gravity into galaxies, stars, plants and eventually, even humans. Cobe is designed to see just the biggest structures, but astronomers would like to see much smaller hot spots as well, the seeds of local objects like clusters and superclusters of galaxies. They shouldn’t have long to wait. 3) Astrophysicists working with ground based detectors at the South Pole and balloon borne instruments are closing in on such structures, and may report their findings soon. 4) If the small hot spots look as expected, that will be a triumph for yet another scientific idea, a refinement of the Big Bang called the inflationary universe theory.Inflation says that very early on, the universe expanded in size by more than a trillion fold in much less than a second, propelled by a sort of antigravity. 5) Odd though it sounds, cosmic inflation is a scientifically plausible consequence of some respected ideas in elementary particle physics, and many astrophysicists have been convinced for the better part of a decade that it is true.

The Iceman
On a September day in 1991,two Germans were climbing the mountains between Austria and Italy.High
up on a mountain pass,they found the body of a man lying on the ice.At that height(10,499 feet,or 3,200
meters),the ice is usually permanent, but 1991 had been an especially warm year. The mountain ice had
melted more than usual so the body had come to the surface.
It was lying face downward. The skeleton（骨架）was in perfect condition , except for a wound in the
head.There were still skin on the bones and the remains of some clothes.The hands were still holding the
wooden handle of an ax and on the feet there were very simple leather and cloth boots. Nearby was a pair of
gloves made of tree bark（树皮）and a holder for arrows.
Who was this man? How and when had he died? Everybody had a different answer to these ques-
tions.Some people thought that it was from this century,perhaps the body of a soldier who died in World
War I,since several soldiers had already been found in the area.A Swiss woman believed it might be her
father,who had died in those mountains twenty years before and whose body had never been found.The
scientists who rushed to look at the body thought it was probably much older,maybe even a thousand
years old.
With modern dating techniques,the scientists soon learned that the iceman was about 5,300 years
old.Born in about 3300 B.C.,he lived during the Bronze Age in Europe.At first scientists thought he was
probably a hunter who had died from an accident in the high mountains.More recent evidence,however,
tells a different story.A new kind of X-ray shows an arrowhead still stuck in his shoulder. It left only a tiny
hole in his skin,but it caused internal damage and bleeding. He certainly died from this wound,and not
from the wound on the back of his head.This means that he was probably in some kind of a battle.It might
have been part of a larger war,or he might have been fighting bandits.He might even have been a bandit
himself.
By studying his clothes and tools,scientists have already learned a great deal from the iceman about the
times he lived in.We may never know the full story of how he died,but he has given us important clues to
the history of those distant times.What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?
A:The iceman was struck dead from behind.
B:The iceman could have died from the wound in the head.
C:The iceman was killed while working.
D:The iceman lived a poor life.答案：B解析：从第一段中“but 1991 had been an especially warm year.”可知，因为天气暖和，冰雪消 融，冰人才露了出来。其他几项所列原因都不是最主要的。
根据第二段的细节描写可以推测他可能是因为头上的伤而死亡的。

The Iceman
On a September day in 1991,two Germans were climbing the mountains between Austria and Italy.High
up on a mountain pass,they found the body of a man lying on the ice. At that height(10,499 feet,or 3,200
meters),the ice is usually peiianerIt,but 1991 had been an especially warm year. The mountain ice had
melted more than usual and so the body had come to the surface.
It was lying face downward. The skeleton（骨架）was in perfect condition , except for a wound in the
head.There was still skin on the hones and the remains of some clothes.The hands were still holding the
wooden handle of an ax and on the feet there were very simple leather and cloth boots.Nearby was a pair of
gloves made of tree bark（树皮）and a holder for arrows.
Who was this man?How ahd when had he died?Everybody had a different answer to these questions.
Some people thought that it was from this century,perhaps the body of a soldier who died in World War I,
since several soldiers had already been found in the area. A Swiss woman believed it might be her father,who
had died in those mountains twenty years before and whose body had never been found.The scientists who
rushed to look at the body thought it was probably much older,maybe even a thousand years old.
With modern dating techniques,the scientists soon learned that the Iceman was about 5,300 years old.
Born in about 3300 B.C.,he lived during the Bronze Age in Europe.At first scientists thought he was proba-
bly a hunter who had died in an accident in the high mountains.More recent evidence,however,tells a

第12题：
问答题Passage 2 They were, by far, the largest and most distant objects that scientists had ever detected: a strip of enormous cosmic clouds some 15 billion light years from earth. (1) But even more important, it was the farthest that scientists had been able to look into the past, for what they were seeing were the patterns and structures that existed 15 billion years ago. That was just about the moment that the universe was born. What the researchers found was at once both amazing and expected; the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Cosmic Background Explorer satellite—Cobe—had discovered landmark evidence that the universe did in fact begin with the primeval explosion that has become known as the Big Bang (the theory that the universe originated in an explosion from a single mass of energy). (2) The existence of the giant clouds was virtually required for the Big Bang, first put forward in the 1920s, to maintain its reign as the dominant explanation of the cosmos. According the theory, the universe burst into being as a submicroscopic, unimaginable dense knot of pure energy that flew outward in all directions, emitting radiation as it went, condensing into particles and then into atoms of gas. Over billions of years, the gas was compressed by gravity into galaxies, stars, plants and eventually, even humans. Cobe is designed to see just the biggest structures, but astronomers would like to see much smaller hot spots as well, the seeds of local objects like clusters and superclusters of galaxies. They shouldn’t have long to wait. (3) Astrophysicists working with ground based detectors at the South Pole and balloon borne instruments are closing in on such structures, and may report their findings soon. (4) If the small hot spots look as expected, that will be a triumph for yet another scientific idea, a refinement of the Big Bang called the inflationary universe theory. Inflation says that very early on, the universe expanded in size by more than a trillion fold in much less than a second, propelled by a sort of antigravity. (5) Odd though it sounds, cosmic inflation is a scientifically plausible consequence of some respected ideas in elementary particle physics, and many astrophysicists have been convinced for the better part of a decade that it is true.正确答案： 1. 更为重要的是,这是科学家们所能观测到的最遥远的过去的景象,因为他们看到的是150亿年前宇宙云的形状和结构。
(even more important为插入语,主句是强调句,强调the farthest,正常语序为scientists had been able to look far into the past。)
2. 巨大的宇宙云的存在,实际上是使二十年代首创的大爆炸论得以保持其宇宙起源论的主导地位所不可缺少的。
(句子的主干结构是一个简单句:The existence… was virtually required for…, to maintain…。first put forward in the 1920s是过去分词短语作插入语,说明前面的名词the Big Bang。后面的不定式短语是补语。)
3. 天体物理学家使用南极陆基探测器及球载仪器,正越来越近地观测这些云系,也许不久会报告他们的观测结果。
(句子主干结构是主语+并列谓语:Astrophysicists…are closing…and may report…。分词短语working with…balloon-borne instruments是主语的定语。)
4. 假如那些小热点看上去同预计的一致,那就意味着又一科学论说的胜利,这种论说即更完美的大爆炸论,亦称宇宙膨胀说。
(look as expected是look as they are expected的省略,意思是“看上去和预想的一样”。another scientific idea和后面的短语a refinement of the Big Bang是同位语。过去分词短语called the inflationary universe theory作定语,修饰the Big Bang。)
5. 宇宙膨胀说虽然听似奇特,但它是基本粒子物理学中一些公认的理论在科学上看来可信的推论。许多天体物理学家七、八年来一直认为这一论说是正确的。
(主干:倒装的让步状语从句+主句。Odd though it sounds=though it sounds odd。consequence前后有多重定语。and many astrophysicists have been convinced为被动结构。that it is true是宾语从句。)解析： 暂无解析 -

Some people thought that it was from this century,perhaps the body of a soldier who died in World War I,
since several soldiers had already been found in the area.A Swiss woman believed it might be her father,who
had died in those mountains twenty years before and whose body had never been found.The scientists who
rushed to look at the body thought it was probably much older,maybe even a thousand years old.
With modern dating techniques,the scientists soon learned that the iceman was about 5,300 years old.
Born in about 3300 B.C.,he lived during the Bronze Age in Europe. At first scientists thought he was probably
a hunter who had died from an accident in the high mountains.More recent evidence,however,tells a different
story. A new kind of X-ray shows an arrowhead still stuck in his shoulder. "left only a tiny hole in his skin
but it caused internal damage and bleeding. He certainly died from this wound,and not from the wound on
tne back of his head. This means that he was probably in some kind of a battle. It might have been Part of a
larger war, or he might have been fighting bandits.He might even have been a bandit himself.
By studying his clothes and tools,scientists have already learned a great deal from the iceman about the
times he lived in. We may never know the full story of how he died,but he has given us important clues to
tne history of those distant times.The word"bandits"in Paragraph 4 could be best replaced by__________.
A:soldiers
B:hunters
C:robbers
D:shooters答案：C解析：从第一段中“but 1991 had been an especially warm year.”可知，因为天气暖和，冰雪消 融，冰人才露了出来。其他几项所列原因都不是最主要的。
根据第二段的细节描写可以推测他可能是因为头上的伤而死亡的。
根据文章第三段可知，只有B项没有被提及。
本题A、B、C三项都是事实而不是推测。
通过上下文可推测该词的意思是“强盗”。第三篇 本篇文章主要探讨的是慢性病病人抱有的希望对他们生活的影响。 -

The Iceman
On a September day in 1991,two Germans were climbing the mountains between Austria and Italy.High
up on a mountain pass,they found the body of a man lying on the ice. At that height(10,499 feet,or 3,200
meters),the ice is usually peiianerIt,but 1991 had been an especially warm year. The mountain ice had
melted more than usual and so the body had come to the surface.
It was lying face downward. The skeleton（骨架）was in perfect condition , except for a wound in the
head.There was still skin on the hones and the remains of some clothes.The hands were still holding the
wooden handle of an ax and on the feet there were very simple leather and cloth boots.Nearby was a pair of
gloves made of tree bark（树皮）and a holder for arrows.
Who was this man?How ahd when had he died?Everybody had a different answer to these questions.

A:The Iceman lived a poor life.
B:The Iceman could have died from the wound in the head.
C:The Iceman was struck dead from behind.
D:The Iceman was killed while working.答案：B解析：短文第一段最后一句提到是融化的冰将他暴露了出来，因此C项正确。
短文第二段开头提到它面朝下，除了头部有伤外，骨架完好。由此推断，冰人可能死于 头部的伤，因此答案是B。
选项A“他是一战时期的士兵”，选项B“他是一位瑞士妇女失踪多年的父亲”和选项C “他大约出生在一千年前”在文中第三段可以找到，而选项D“他来自意大利”在文章中没有出 现。采用排除法得出答案为D。
选项B“头后部有伤口”是事实而非推论；选项C“皮肤上的小孔导致他的死亡”不符合 事实；选项D“他的肩膀被箭头刺伤”是事实而非推论；选项A“有可能参与过战斗”是推论。因 此选A。
短文第四段中“bandits”的意思是“强盗”。选项A“猎人”；选项B“射击手”；选项C“强 盗”；选项D“士兵”。因此选C。 第三篇 短文讲的是英国单人帆船手Ellen MacArthur是如何取得成功的。 -
