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.

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 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 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 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 probably
a hunter who had died in 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 almost 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 beenl 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.The scientists made the deduction that the iceman______________.
A:was hit in the shoulder by an arrowhead
B:had a tiny hole in his skin causing his death
C:was probably in some kind of a battle
D:had got a wound on the back of his head答案：C解析：第一段提到：1991年是特别暖的一年，山上的冰比以前消融的更多，因此尸体才显露 出来。
第二段提到：它面朝下，除了头部有伤外，骨架状况很好。仅就此推断，冰人可能死于 头部伤。

第11题：
问答题Passage 2 A land free from destruction, wealth, natural resources, and labor supply--all these were important 1 in helping England to become the center for the Industrial Revolution. 2 they were not enough. Something 3 was needed to start the industrial process. That "something special", was men-- creative individuals who could invent machines, find new sources of power, and 4 business organizations to reshape the society. The men who created the machines of the Industrial Revolution 5 from many backgrounds and many occupations. Many of them were 6 inventors than scientists. A man who is a pure scientist is primarily interested in doing his research accurately. He is not necessarily working 7 that his findings can be used. An inventor or one interested in applied science is usually trying to make something 8 has a concrete use. He tries to solve a problem by following the theories of science or by experimenting 9 trial and error. Regardless 10 his method, he is working to obtain a specific result: the construction of a harvesting machine, the burning of a light bulb, or one of many other objectives. Most of the people who developed the machines of the Industrial Revolution were 11 . A 12 were both scientists and inventors. Even those who had little or no training 13 science might have made their inventions, 14 a groundwork had been laid by scientists years 15 .正确答案： 1. factors 根据句意,没有破坏的土地、财富、自然资源和劳动力都是英国成为工业革命中心的重要因素。因此填入factors。
2. But 通过后面的not enough可知,空格处应该填入表示转折的But。注意首字母大写。
3. else 文章一开始就提到一系列因素,接着说这些因素还不够,由此可知,此处填入else,修饰something表示其他事物。
4. establish/found/start 空格部分需填入动词与business organizations搭配。
5. came/were 句意:工业革命中发明各种机器的人有着各种背景,从事各种职业。come from/ be from来自。注意此处需使用过去时态。
6. more more...than...后跟形容词、副词、动词、名词等,且more后部分和than后部分词类相同,表示“与其说……不如说、是……不是、是……更是、有……无……”等。
7. so so that表示结果。这里指科学家的工作不一定是要让他的发现能够被使用。
8. that 空格部分填入that引导定语从句修饰不定代词something。
9. through trial and error反复试验;不断摸索。这里填入through,意思为“通过,凭借”。
10. of regardless of不顾,不管。
11. inventors 通过上文介绍可知,发明家更倾向于发明实用的东西,而科学家的研究不一定能够被使用。因此该句应该填入inventors。
12. few 此处填入few。a few“一些”,与上一句中的most of the people形成对比。
13. in training in sth.关于……的培训。
14. because 逗号后面的句子为前面的句子的原因,因此填入because。
15. before 句意:甚至那些很少甚至没有接受科学培训的人也可能会发明东西,因为科学家数年前就已经奠定好了基础。years before数年前。解析： 暂无解析 -
第12题：
单选题It is implied in the passage that ______.Amany scientists had known dinoflagellate before 1988
Bthere had been no such organisms before 1988
Cmany scientists were in doubt about the nature of the organism in 1988
Dno scientists knew anything about the organism in 1988
正确答案： B解析：
推断题。第二段第二句提到1988年在北卡罗莱纳州立大学发现了这种生物时，“few scientists believed in its existence, much less in its highly unusual predatory nature.”，可知那时几乎没有科学家会相信microscopic organisms真的存在，更没有人相信它非同寻常的食肉天性（predatory nature）了。换句话说就是许多科学家对microscopic organisms的食肉天性表示怀疑，因此选项C为正确答案。 -

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

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。

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 199 1 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 questions.

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。
