Scientists working on a problem do not know and sometimes can't even guess what the final result will be.Late on Friday,8 November,1895,Professor Rontgen,a German physicist,was doing an experiment in his laboratory when he noticed something extraordinary.He had covered an electric bulb with black cardboard,and when he switched on the current he saw little dancing lights on his table.Now the bulb was completely covered;_________(46)?On the table there were some pieces of paper which had been covered with metal salts.It was on this paper that the lights were shining. Professor Rontgen took a piece of this paper and held it at a distance from the lamp.Between it and the lamp he placed a variety of objects,a book,a pack of cards,a piece of wood and a door key. __________(47).He called his wife into the laboratory and asked her to hold her hand between the lamp and a photographic plate._________(48),but she held up her hand for a quarter of an hour, and when the plate was developed there was a picture of the bones of her hand and of the ring on one finger. The mysterious ray could pass through the flesh and not through the bone or the ring.
At a scientific meeting,Professor Rontegen called this new ray "the unknown" the X-ray. _________(49),and soon there were X-ray machines in all the big hospitals.The most obvious use for this discovery was to enable doctors to see exactly how a bone was fractured._________(50).It was found that these rays could be used to destroy cancer cells,just as they destroyed the healthy cells of the doctors who first used the machines.Methods were found later by which ulcers in the stomach could be located,and the lungs could be X-rayed to show if there was any tuberculosis present._______（49）
A:The ray penetrated every one of them except the key
B:She was very surprised by this request
C:how then could any ray penetrate
D:It was a great invention
E:Other uses came later
F: Doctors quickly saw how this could be used答案：F解析：前一句及该句意为：现在的灯泡被完全覆盖；怎么会有射线穿透呢？
前一句“在纸和灯之间，他放置了各种不同的物体，一本书、一包卡片、一块木头和一把门钥匙”是实验的步骤方法，该句“射线穿透了除钥匙以外的每一件物体”是实验的结果。
该句中this request指代前一句“He called his wife into the laboratory and asked her to hold her hand between the lamp and a photographic plate."
该句的意思是：医生很快知道该如何运用它，不久X光机出现在所有的大医院里。
“其他用途随后出现”是承上启下句。前一句为“The most obvious use for this discovery was to enable doctors to see exactly how a bone was fractured"，该句后面细述它的用途。 -

A:hold
B:have
C:keep
D:put答案：C解析：该句的意思是“作为伦敦塔的守卫者之一，David Cope在那里工作了近17 年，被游客们称为伦敦塔守卫”, better known是固定搭配，意思是“更知名的”，其他选项和 known都不能搭配，因此选择B项。
height意为“高度”, summit意为“最高点”,peak意为“顶峰”, top意为“顶端”。本句是说“David今年64岁，生活在Byward塔顶部的一个三居室的公寓里，那里是一处警卫室”，因此选择D项。

be aware of是固定搭配，意思是“意识到”。本句意思是“这种鸟现在已经成为我的生命，我总是感觉到我在保持一个传统”，选择A项。
前三个选项用作及物动词，hold表示“抓住”, maintain意为“保持”, survive表示“存活，幸存”，而last作不及物动词时表示“持续”，作及物动词时表示“经受住”。选择B项。
make sure是固定搭配，意为“确保”。该句意思是“我的工作就是确保这种情况不会发生”，因此选择B项。
devote的意思是“把······奉献给”;spend后面需加动词ing形式，因此排除：pass表示“经过”, provide表示“提供”。本句是说“David每天大约用四个小时的时间来照料这些乌鸦”，因此应该选择A项。
该句意思是“他已经爱上了它们，而紧挨在它们的旁边生活是他最佳选择”。reason意思是“原因”, chance意思是“机会”, opportunity意思跟chance相同，fact意思是’ “事实真相”。因此选项D最合适。
本句的意思是“我可以一直密切关注它们”, keep a close eye on是固定搭配，意思是“留心瞧着，注意”。

Actor Antonio Banderas is used to breaking bones,and it always seems to happen when he's______(1) sport.In the film Play It to the Bone he______(2) the part of a middleweight boxer alongside Woody Harrelson.______(3)the making of the film Harrelson______(4) complaining that the fight______(5)weren't very convincing,so one day he suggested that he and Banderas should have a fight for real.The Spanish actor wasn't______(6)on the idea at first,but he was______(7) persuaded by his co-star to put on his gloves and climb into the boxing ring.However,when he realized how seriously his______(8) was taking it all,he began to regret his decision to fight.

A:hoped
B:pretended
C:dreamed
D:looked forward答案：C解析：根据句意，“每次骨折似乎总是发生在做运动时”，应当选用动词do。practise “练习”，后面应跟某一项具体的训练，而不是sport，所以正确答案为C。
play the part of...为固定搭配，意为“扮演一个……的角色”，其他三项均不合适。
联系上下文，根据句意，“在影片制作过程中”，所以应当用during。
根据句意，“Harrelson在影片制作过程中不断地抱怨……”，而且后面的动词complain用的是ing形式，因此动词keep“连续，不断”最为恰当。continue后加动词ing 形式一般表示在停顿后重新开始、继续，carry一般后面跟介词on，表示“进行某项事务”,insist 表示“坚决主张”，不合句意，所以选A。
联系上下文，因为是影片中的打斗场景，所以这里scenes是正确答案。
be keen on为固定搭配，表示“对……感兴趣，对……热衷”,interest后面配介词in, enthusiastic后面配介词of。
联系上下文，作者要表达的是“最终他还是被他的搭档说服了”，副词eventu-ally放在动词persuade之前，lastly表示“最后一点，最后”,“at the end”一般放在段落的最后，表示“最后”。
根据句意，“当他意识到……是全心全意投意入进来时，他开始后悔自己要打斗的决定”，显然是对手非常认真地对待这场打斗，所以C项opponent是正确答案。
so...that…固定搭配，意为“太……以至于”，根据句意，“ Harrelson如此重重地打在Banderas的脸上，以至于居然打破了 Banderas的鼻子”，其他选项都不适合。
固定搭配take a risk，表示“冒险”。
联系上下文，根据句意，“他记起在他的故乡马拉加进行的一场足球比赛”, 是因为鼻子骨折这件事促使他想起了故乡的那次比赛，remind表示“提醒”，符合句意。remember表示“自然想起，记起”不合句意。
根据句意和后面的介词of，显然，“他一直梦想成为一名足球明星”,dream 是正确答案。pretend“假装”，后面跟介词to，不合句意；look forward表示“向往”，后面跟介词 to，不合句意。
固定搭配take up sth.，表示“开始从事某事”，根据句意，作者要表达的是 “我决定开始演戏”，因此A项up是正确答案。
联系上下文，Banderas显然把它看成是另外一种比赛，所以只有D项an-other符合句意。
词组football pitch，表示“足球场”。前面由介词on引导，后面一定是场地，也就是足球场，而不是match“比赛”。court表示“网球场”,course表示“跑道”，均不符合句意。 -

A: pay
B: spend
C: devote
D: invest答案：C解析：固定搭配make fortune，意为“制造财富，发财”，因此选B。其他三项均不合适。
这里应该是一个由what引导的从句为主语的句子，表示“使得 Ben的故事更引人注意的是……”，其他三项均无法引导该从句。
根据句意，是Ben被告知，因此选项told为正确答案。said意为“被说”,suggested 意为“被建议”,reported意为“被报道”，均不合句意。
联系上下文，了解到本句表达的是Ben曾被他的初中教师告知他将永远不能正确读写，而不是完全无法读写，因此properly才符合句意。absolutely表示“完全地，绝对地”,totally表示“完全地”,thoroughly表示“彻底地，完全地”，均不合句意。
根据句意，很容易了解Ben是要证明他们对他的判断错了，而不是说他们的判断是假的、不真实的，或者不公平的，所以wrong是正确答案。
固定搭配。be used to意为“被用来做”。因此A项正确。
根据句意，易知文中要表达的是“虽然他不能阅读使用指南”，因此unable为正确答案。impossible表示“不可能的”,incapable表示“无能力的”，一般形容不能胜任的； disabled表示“有残缺的”。
根据句意，易知文中要表达的是在爸爸的鼓励下。若用promised则表示在爸爸的承诺下，invited则是在爸爸的邀请下，animated表示“有生气的”，均不符合句意，因此 encouraged为正确答案。
根据句意，“ Ben很快就开始以自己的知识和能力收费——每小时10英镑”，只有 charge符合句意。
联系上下文，根据句意， Ben创建了自己的公司——Quad Computer，固定搭配set up 表示“创建”，其他三项均不合适，所以选D。
根据句意，Ben把所有的精力投入到公司经营当中，根据后面的介词to可知，只有 devote是正确答案。
词组搭配。a couple of表示“一些”, few一般形容只需少量的几个，little形容不可数名词，文中要表达的是公司已经发展壮大，Ben需要雇用一些员工，因此只有couple符合句意。
文中要表达的是雇用一些员工，使公司发展壮大。因此B项正确。
固定搭配。overcome challenge，表示“克服困难，克服挑战”，因此选A。 overlook表示“不注意，忽视”, overtake表示“赶上”,overdo表示“把……做得过分”。
根据句意，“价值2500万英镑的交易”，显然worth是正确答案。valuable表示“珍贵的，值钱的”, estimated表示“估计，预算”,priced表示“给……定价，附有定价的”。 -

A: When
B: As
C: While
D: During答案：D解析：根据句意，每次骨折似乎总是发生在做运动时，应当选用动词do。 practise表示“练习”，后面应跟某一项具体的训练，而不是sport，所以正确答案为C。
play the part of…为固定搭配，意为“扮演一个……的角色”，其他三项均不合适。
联系上下文，根据句意，在影片制作过程中，所以应当用during。
根据句意，Harrelson在影片制作过程中不断地抱怨，而且后面的动词complain用的是 ing形式，因此动词keep“连续，不断”最为恰当。continue后加动词ing形式一般表示在停顿后重新开始、继续，carry一般后面跟介词on，表示“进行某项事务”,insist表示 “坚决主张”，不合句意，所以选A。
联系上下文，因为是影片中的打斗场景，所以这里scene是正确答案。
根据句意，Harrelson抱怨打架的场景不真实，他建议他们要有一个真实的打架场景。因此B项正确。
联系上下文，作者要表达的是最终他还是被他的搭档说服了，副词eventually放在动词persuade之前，lastly表示“最后一点，最后”,“at the end”一般放在段落的最后，表示最后怎么样。
根据句意，当他意识到他的对手把这场打架看得很重时，他后悔这个决定了，因此C 项正确。
so… that…固定搭配，太……以至于……，根据句意，“Harreison如此狠地打在 Banderas的脸上，以至于居然打破了Banderas的鼻子”，其他选项都不适合。
固定搭配take a risk，表示“冒险”。
联系上下文，根据句意，“他记起在他的故乡马拉加进行的一场足球比赛”，是因为鼻子骨折这件事促使他想起了故乡的那次比赛，remind表示“提醒”，符合句意。re-member表示“自然想起，记起”不合句意。
根据句意和后面的介词of，显然，“他一直梦想成为一个足球明星”, dream是正确答案。pretend表示“假装”，后面跟介词to，不合句意；look forward表示“向往”，后面跟介词to，不合句意。
固定搭配take up sth.，表示“开始从事某事”，根据句意，作者要表达的是“我决定开始演戏”，因此up是正确答案。
联系上下文，作者显然把它看成是另外一种比赛，所以只有another符合句意。
词组football pitch，表示“足球场”。前面由介词on引导，后面一定是场地，也就是足球场，而不是match“比赛”。court表示“网球场”, course表示“跑道”，均不符合句意。 -

Osteoporosis and Men
Mention the word osteoporosis in the manly world of testosterone（皋丸素）,
professional basketball and the XFL（美国最新的职业足球联合会）,and you're likely to get
a wave of the hand and a dismissive（轻蔑的）"That's a woman's disease."Not so. More
than 2 million American men have been found to have the thinning bones and skeletal（骨骼
的）weakness of osteoporosis（骨质疏松症）,and an additional 3 million are at an
increased risk of developing them.
It's true that osteoporosis strikes women with much greater frequency than men一in
some studies as much as four to six times as often.But that's no reason to brush it off as
"their"disease.It's a mere stroke of gender luck that men's bones tend to grow larger,
stronger and denser. Also paying dividends are those sports that boys(and,increasingly,
girls)play as children一running up and down basketbal}courts,soccer and baseball fields.
As it happens,physical activity is one of the more important ways to increase bone density
and protect bone health.
But even the most active men cannot ignore certain facts of life.All of us build up our
bones during the first three decades of life,typically reaching peak bone mass in the early
30s.Around the age of 35,we begin gradually to lose some of this bone mass.Women
ultimately give up between 30%to 50%.Though mass loss in men is lower,it still makes
us vulnerable to back pains and bone fractures.In fact,this year alone American men will
suffer as many as half a million osteoporosis-related breaks,mostly in the spine,hip and
wrist.These are not only painful;thousands die each year from fracture-related
complications.
For many of us,however,there's still time.of all the side effects of aging,
osteoporosis is one of the more preventable,through diet,exercise and changes in
lifestyle.The two key nutritional substances for bone health are calcium（钙）,which
makes bones stronger, and vitamin D,which helps the body absorb the calcium.
Exercising is also important,with emphasis on weight-bearing activities in which bones
and muscles work against gravity.Lifting weights and working out on resistance machines
can help preserve bone density.
Be careful about what's in your medicine cabinet.Prolonged use of some medications,
such as steroids（类固醇）,can weaken your bones. Smoking and drinking are both bad
for bones,as is prolonged weightlessness,for anybody who plans to work on the space
station.The kind of sport that boys often play as children is good for the build-up of their bones.

固定搭配take up sth.，表示“开始从事某事”，根据句意，作者要表达的是 “我决定开始演戏”，因此A项up是正确答案。

“By this time the company had grown and I needed to take on a______(62)of employees to help me”,says Ben.“That enabled me to start doing business with______(63)companies.”It was his ability to consistently______(64)difficult challenges that led him to win the Young Entrepreneur of the Year award in the same year that he formed Waysearch,and he has re-cently signed a deal______(65)￡25 million with a private investment company,which will finance his search engine.51._________
A: taken
B: made
C: put
D: done答案：B解析：固定搭配make fortune，意为“制造财富，发财”，因此选B。其他三项均不合适。
这里应该是一个由what引导的从句为主语的句子，表示“使得 Ben的故事更引人注意的是……”，其他三项均无法引导该从句。
根据句意，是Ben被告知，因此选项told为正确答案。said意为“被说”,suggested 意为“被建议”,reported意为“被报道”，均不合句意。
联系上下文，了解到本句表达的是Ben曾被他的初中教师告知他将永远不能正确读写，而不是完全无法读写，因此properly才符合句意。absolutely表示“完全地，绝对地”,totally表示“完全地”,thoroughly表示“彻底地，完全地”，均不合句意。
根据句意，很容易了解Ben是要证明他们对他的判断错了，而不是说他们的判断是假的、不真实的，或者不公平的，所以wrong是正确答案。
固定搭配。be used to意为“被用来做”。因此A项正确。
根据句意，易知文中要表达的是“虽然他不能阅读使用指南”，因此unable为正确答案。impossible表示“不可能的”,incapable表示“无能力的”，一般形容不能胜任的； disabled表示“有残缺的”。
根据句意，易知文中要表达的是在爸爸的鼓励下。若用promised则表示在爸爸的承诺下，invited则是在爸爸的邀请下，animated表示“有生气的”，均不符合句意，因此 encouraged为正确答案。
根据句意，“ Ben很快就开始以自己的知识和能力收费——每小时10英镑”，只有 charge符合句意。
联系上下文，根据句意， Ben创建了自己的公司——Quad Computer，固定搭配set up 表示“创建”，其他三项均不合适，所以选D。
根据句意，Ben把所有的精力投入到公司经营当中，根据后面的介词to可知，只有 devote是正确答案。
词组搭配。a couple of表示“一些”, few一般形容只需少量的几个，little形容不可数名词，文中要表达的是公司已经发展壮大，Ben需要雇用一些员工，因此只有couple符合句意。
文中要表达的是雇用一些员工，使公司发展壮大。因此B项正确。
固定搭配。overcome challenge，表示“克服困难，克服挑战”，因此选A。 overlook表示“不注意，忽视”, overtake表示“赶上”,overdo表示“把……做得过分”。
根据句意，“价值2500万英镑的交易”，显然worth是正确答案。valuable表示“珍贵的，值钱的”, estimated表示“估计，预算”,priced表示“给……定价，附有定价的”。 -
