17、 systematic application of scientific knowledge andscience methods. This changeover started slowly and progressed (2) evenly. Until late in the nineteenth century, only a few industries (3) could use scientific techniques or cared of using them. The list (4) expanded noticeably after 1870, but even

18、then much of what passedfor the application of science was engineering science rather thanbasic science. Nevertheless, by the middle of the nineteenth century,the rapid expansion of scientific knowledge and of public awareness-ifnot understanding-it had created a belief that the advance of (5) scien

32、p the check.（分数：20.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：adhere后加to）解析：解析 adhere只作不及物动词，要与to连用，意为“坚持；遵守；黏附”：填空项1:_（正确答案：themthemselves）解析：解析 此处意为“在中东，爱喝咖啡的人要控制住自己”，由于主语和宾语指的是同一群人，故要用反身代词themselves。填空项1:_（正确答案：counselcounsels）解析：解析 counsel意为“忠告”，是句子的谓语，主语是“Travel Pak”，而且文章通篇用的都是一般现在时，故改为counsels。填空项1:_（正确答案：AndBut）解析：解析 根据

33、上下文，前文说到“在商务会面时最多喝三杯咖啡或茶是礼貌的行为”，此处说到“如果主人一直喝，你也要一直喝”，前后文有转折关系，故改为but。填空项1:_（正确答案：在should后加not）解析：解析 根据下文“阿拉伯礼仪提倡开放的办公室”，显然此处要表达“当你们在办公室里聊天时有人闯入，你也不要吃惊”，故要加上not。填空项1:_（正确答案：去掉interrupt后的into）解析：解析 interrupt意为“打扰”，为及物动词，不需要介词，故去掉into。填空项1:_（正确答案：sensiblesensitive）解析：解析 根据上下文，此处要表达“商务来访者要对这一点(打扰别人谈话)十分

34、敏感，知道什么时候离开”，sensible意为“合理的，明智的”，而sensitive意为“敏感的”。填空项1:_（正确答案：withwithout）解析：解析 根据上下文，后文提到“在聚会上，日本人认为正式的告别可能会打扰到其他客人”故此处要表达“他们(日本人)允许不正式的告别就离开”，故改为without。填空项1:_（正确答案：remainremaining）解析：解析 此处要表达的是“留下来的客人”，现在分词remaining修饰guests。注意此处to为介词，意为“对”。填空项1:_（正确答案：OnIn）解析：解析 In contrast意为“相反”，为固定搭配。Normally

35、a student must attend a certain number of coursesin order to graduate, and each course which he attends and gives him a (1) credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universitiesthe total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasts for (2) one semester. A typical c

Normally a student would expect totake four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spreadthe period of work for the

37、degree over a long period. It is also possible (4) for a student to move between one university and another during his degreecourse, though this is not in fact done for a regular practice. (5) For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which isrecorded, and the record is available

38、for the student to show to prospectiveemployers.

40、in number of activity. A student (10) who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected andit will be of benefit to him later in his career.（分数：20.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：去掉attends后的and）解析：解析 此处如果有and，那么就证明gives和attends是并列关系，都是定语从句的谓语。可是这样一来，主句就缺少谓语动词了。根据上下文，此处的gives应该是主句的谓语动词，句意为“他上的每一门课程都会

41、让他获得一个学分”。填空项1:_（正确答案：lastslasting）解析：解析 如果此处使用lasts，则此句在没有连词的情况下出现了两个谓语动词；显然，此处应当使用lasting，现在分词短语作定语修饰前面的courses。填空项1:_（正确答案：第一个attendattending）解析：解析 此从句没有主语，连词为while，可以视为状语从句省略句。当状语从句的主语和主句相同时，如果状语从句中是主动语态则要把谓语动词变为现在分词。本句未省略前应该是while he attend，省略了主语后变成while attending。填空项1:_（正确答案：longlonger）解析：解析 上

42、句提到一般情况下一个学生要上四年共八个学期。此句说“但是也可能会上_的时间”。很显然是和前一句在进行比较，所以应该用longer而不是long。填空项1:_（正确答案：foras）解析：解析 此处意为“作为常规”，所以使用介词as。填空项1:_（正确答案：第二个andbut）解析：解析 此句的前半个分句说所有的这些都增加了工作压力，后半个分句说尽管如此，还是有些学生有时间参加社团活动。显然，两个分句间是转折关系，所以用but。填空项1:_（正确答案：arisearouse）解析：解析 arise是不及物动词，意为“出现”，如problems arise，phenomena arise，而aro

43、use才是及物动词，意为“唤醒，激起”。填空项1:_（正确答案：efficienteffective）解析：解析 efficient意为“效率高的”，一般用来指人，如an efficient secretary；而effective意为“产生效果的”，一般用来指物或事，如an effective medicine。填空项1:_（正确答案：第二个havehas）解析：解析 此句的主语为any student，是单数，主语和谓语动词被定语从句和插入语分隔开了；此句时态为一般现在时，所以谓语动词应该用have的单数第三人称形式。填空项1:_（正确答案：activityactivities）解析：解析 a number of意为“许多”，修饰可数名词复数，故后面应该用activities。Whenever you see the old film, even one made as early (1) as ten years ago, you cant help be stuck by the appearance (2) of the woman taking part. Their hair-styles and make-up look dated;t
