5、【小题 9】 _ throwing it into the river. During the Duanwu Festival, zong zi is eaten to symbolize（象征，表示） the rice offerings to Qu. And the dragon-boat races symbolize _【小题 10】 _ many attempts to rescue and recover Qus body. 答案： 【小题 1】 has been marked。由时间状语 for thousands of years可知，句子谓语动词应用现在完成进行时，表示端午节
6、一直以来都以吃粽子和赛龙珠的方式进行庆 祝，而且将来也会如此，故填 has been marked。 【小题 1】 situated。表示某地方位于何地时，用 be situated in /on, 句中“situated” 相当于定语从句， “which was situated” 。 【小题 1】 However。前后两句是转折关系，而空格前后都有标点，故应填副词 However。 【小题 1】 Realizing。因逻辑主语 Qu与 realize 是主动关系，故应填 Realizing。 【小题 1】 unab le。由 but可知，渔民未能救活他，故用 able相 反意思的 unab
7、le。 【小题 1】 who。引导定语从句并在从句中作主语，先行词是 The people of Chu，故应填 who。 【小题 1】 every。根据常识，是指 “每一 ”年。 【小题 1】 them。代替 the mourners，在句中作宾语，故应填 them。 【小题 1】 before。因 “将它裹好、绑好 ”应是在 “将粽子扔进河里 ”之前，才不会给河里的一种爬行动物偷吃，故应填介词 before。 【小题 1】 the。因 many / little / few 等词在后面有定语从句或不定式等成分修饰时，其前面 用 the表特指，故该处填 the。 完型填空 完形填空 (共 1

20、Microwaves may be great at warming up food, but what about warming people Using microwaves to directly heat owners of a room would save much of the energy wasted by heating walls and furniture. And despite popular ideas about microwaves, this technique would be safe, according to Charles R. Burlier
21、of the Microwave Research Center in Marlborough, New Hampshire. Low-power microwaves only penetrate (贯穿 ) the skin (low-power microwave penetration in a ham is about 0.2 inches, for example) and with no negative effects. To test this idea, Buffler subjected himself to microwaves in a special room us
22、ing a standard 500-watt, 2459 MHz magnetron (磁控管 ). He found that a person will start to feel warmth at about 20 kilowatts per square centimeter (mw. / sq. cm. ) ; a satisfactory feeling of warmth occurs between 35 and 50 mw. / sq. cm. By comparison, a person standing in noonday summer sun feels the
23、 amount of 85 mw. / sq. cm. And a frozen meat pie in your microwave oven receives about 1000 mw. / sq. cm. In houses of the future, each room could be provided with its own magnetron, says Buffler. When you stepped into the living room, for example, a motion detector (运动感应器 )would turn on the magnet
24、ron, filling the room with low-power microwaves. In the same way that a microwave oven heats up a hamburger, but not the plate its on, you would feel warmth from the microwaves without changing the temperature of your coffee table. (You could, however, make your favorite easy chair even more comfort
25、able by treating it with a radiation-absorbing chemical.) While it might be some time before homeowners are comfortable enough with the idea to set up whole-body microwave heaters in houses, Buffler says microwaves may attract livestock(家畜 ) farmers. Lambs that are born outdoors in winter, for examp
26、le, are frequently lost to cold. Microwaves could warm the lambs safely and quickly. 【小题 1】 Which of the following can tell the main idea of the passage A A new heating system. B A new microwave oven. C A popular technique. D The magnetron. 【小题 2】 According to Paragraph 2, which of the following doe
27、s not describe the characteristics of a microwave heater A It directly heats people in a room. B It heats walls and furniture in a room. C It is safe. D It saves energy 【小题 3】 The test conducted by Buffler shows that when a person feels comfortable warmth, he receives about _. A 20 mw. / sq. cm. B 4
28、0 mw. / sq. cm. C 60 mw. / sq. cm. D 85 mw. / sq. cm. 【小题 4】 According to Paragraph 4, which of the following fills the room with low-power microwaves A The magnetron. B The motion detector. C The microwave oven. D The radiation-absorbing chemical. 【小题 5】 Which of the following statements about micr
29、owave heaters would Buffler most probably agree with A Microwave heaters will soon be widely used by homeowners. B Microwave heaters sometimes make people feel uncomfortable. C Perhaps microwave heaters will be first used by livestock farmers, who wish to protect their lambs in winter. D Microwave h

41、g real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain. As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fe
42、ar the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment（承担的义务） , self - improvement. Ask a bachelor（单身汉） why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is
43、 afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole nights sleep or a three - day vacati
44、on. I dont know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild. Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the
45、 most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we
46、 now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all. 【小题 1】 According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because _ . A he is reluctant to take on family responsibilities B he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single C
47、 he finds more fun in dating than in marriage D he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement 【小题 2】 Raising children, in the authors opinion is _ . A a moral duty B a thankless job C a rewarding task D a source of inevitable pain 【小题 3】 From the last paragraph, we learn that e
48、nvy sometimes stems from _ . A hatred B misunderstanding C prejudice D ignorance 【小题 4】 To understand what true happiness is one must _ . A have as much fun as possible during ones lifetime B make every effort to liberate oneself from pain C put up with pain under all circumstances D be able to distinguish happiness from fun 【小题 5】 What is the author trying to tell us A Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain B One must know how to attain happiness. C It is important to make commitments. D It is pain that leads to happines
