Growth
2、 marks on dinosaur bones are similar _【小题 3】 _ growth rings on trees. The rings are far apart while the animal is young and growing quickly. _【小题 4】_ get closer as growth slows. It is _【小题 5】 _ (exact) these tight ring marks that we found in the fossil bones, says Sander. So the fossils must have be
3、en from adult animals. _【小题 6】 _ was this German dinosaur so much smaller than other giant dinosaurs, which grew up to 45 metres long and weighed as much as a thousand humans 150 million years ago, most of Germany was underwater.

4、less land and food available. The dinosaur _【小题 8】 _ (need) less space and food. Since 1998, scientists have dug up more than 1,000 dinosaur fossils in the mine.

6、n。 【小题 3】恐龙骨头上成长的标志和树上的年轮相似。 be similar to和 相似 . 【小题 4】随着生长放慢 ,它们也靠近了。这里使用 They代替 Growth marks。 【小题 5】我们在骨头化石中发现的就是这些靠得很近的标志 .用副词 exactly修饰 be动词。 【小题 6】根据下文,可知这句话是问:为什么这些德国的恐龙比其他的大型恐龙小这么多?用 Why。 【小题 7】科学家认为当水平面上升的时候,土地会越来越少。这里用连词 as / when当 时候。 【小题 8】恐龙被迫进化到更小的动物。 The dinosaur 和 force是被动含义,而且是过去的情况,
7、所以用 was forced 【小题 9】这里是现在分词做定语,因 为 a smaller animal 和 need是主动关系,用 needing 【小题 10】这里世界上为数不多的地方可以同时发现恐龙的骨头和足印的。Where引导的是定语从句。 考点:考查语法填空 完型填空 When I walk through the streets of San Franciscos business districts, white people stare at me as if I were a circus clown.

37、The system, developed by Professor Ben Allen at the Centre for Wireless Research, uses radio waves as power. Believed to be a world first, the team claims it could eventually eliminate (or get rid of) the need for conventional batteries. The university has now filed a patent application to secure th
38、e only rights to the technique. Professor Allen and his team have created a system to use medium wave frequencies to replace batteries in small everyday devices like clocks and remote controls. The new technique uses the “waste” energy of radio waves and has been developed as part of the universitys
39、 research into “power harvesting”. Professor Allen said that as radio waves have energy-like light waves, sound waves or wind waves-in theory, these waves could be used to create power. “The emerging(新兴的) area of power harvesting technology promises to reduce our reliance on conventional batteries,”
40、 he said. “Its really exciting way of taking power from sources other than what we would normally think of.” The team is now waiting for the results of the patent application to secure recognition of the technique. Professor Allen said that the teams achievements had all been done in their “spare ti
41、me”. “Our next stage is to try and raise some real funds so that we can take this work forward and make a working prototype(模型) and maybe partner up with the right people and take this to a full product in due course,” he said. “Power harvesting has a really important part in our future, because, ju
42、st in this country, we dispose of somewhere between 20,000 and 30,000 tones of batteries in landfill(垃圾填理) sites every single year-that is toxic chemicals going into the ground.” He added that development of the product could also be “commercially beneficial”. “The market for this is several billion
43、 pounds. Weve seen market predictions for 2020 which have these kinds of figures, so theres a lot of commercial potential in this area,” he said. Pro-Vice Chancellor at the University of Bedfordshire, Professor Carsten Maple, said, “This type of work is a reflection of the universitys growing reputa
44、tion and experience in conducting innovative(创新的) research.” 【小题 1】 From the text we know the new technique for powering electronic devices_. A can be applied to all electronic devices. B uses radio waves to create power. C has replaced conventional batteries. D produces many toxic chemicals. 【小题 2】
45、 According to Professor Allen, power harvesting technology_. A makes every use of radio waves. B takes power from usual sources. C reduces our dependency on conventional batteries. D aims at huge commercial benefits. 【小题 3】 What can we learn about Professor Allen and his team from the text A They ha
46、ve made use of radio waves in their daily life. B They have raised a big fund to support their research. C They have gained a patent for their new technology. D They mainly did their research in their spare time. 【小题 4】 What is Professor Carsten Maples attitude toward the new technique A Critical. B
47、 Favorable. C Conservative. D Negative. 【小题 5】 What is the text mainly about A A new technique to create power. B A crisis concerning conventional batteries. C Some special sources of power. D The development of power harvesting. 答案: 【小题 1】 B 【小题 2】 C 【小题 3】 D 【小题 4】 B 【小题 5】 A 试题分析:文章主要介绍了 Professo
