Therefore 因此 B. Unfortunately 不幸地C. In a word 总之 D. In comparison 相比之下；与比较【答案】B【考查点】上下文语义。【解题思路】空格处之后的句子承接上文，意思为：在工业界，轮班工作每周都要更换。轮班工作每周都要更换意味着睡眠的习惯要不停的变化。因此这是一件不幸的事情。选B。【干扰项排除】A、C、D选项均不符合上下文语义。【句意】不幸的是，在工业界，轮班工作每周都要更换。5. 【选项释义】A. though 虽然 B. so that 以便；结果是；以至于C. while 在期间；而 D. as 因为；由于；在时；随着【答案】B【考查点】上下文语义。【解题思路】空格处上文意思为：这就意味着他刚适应一种工作方式就又得转向另一种工作方式；空格后意思为：他的大部分时间既没有高效地工作也没有高效地睡觉。这里存在一个因果关系，他刚适应一种工作方式又要转向另一种工作方式的结果是他没有办法高效地工作和睡觉。因此选B。【干扰项排除】A、C、选项不符合上下文语义；D选项虽然也能表示因果关系，但是as之后接的是因而不是果，根据解题思路可知原文空格后所接的是果，因此D选项不符合原文逻辑关系。【句意】这就意味着他刚适应一种工作方式就又得转向另一种工作方式，以至于他的大部分时间既没有高效地工作也没有高效地睡觉。6. 【选项释义】A. efficiently 有效地 B. good 好的；优良的C. easily 容易地 D. happily 快乐地；幸运地【答案】A【考查点】上下文语义。【解题思路】空格处上文意思为：这就意味着他刚适应一种工作方式就又得转向另一种工作方式。由此可知，这样的轮班工作让人没有足够的时间适应，因此没有办法高效地工作和睡眠。【干扰项排除】B选项good“好的；优良的”，这里指在一定的时间内，进行工作和睡眠，对比选项，用“效率”形容更合适，因此选A；C、D选项不符合上下文语义。【句意】这就意味着他刚适应一种工作方式就又得转向另一种工作方式，所以他在大部分时间里工作和睡觉的效率都很低。7. 【选项释义】A. shorter 更短的 B. better 较好的；更好的C. longer 更长的 D. nicer 更好的【答案】C【考查点】上下文语义。【解题思路】句意：一种解决办法似乎是每个月甚至三个月的轮班都要有固定的时间。根据上文可知，在工业界，轮班工作每周都要更换，这种轮班制度使得工人没有时间去适应，导致他们无法高效地工作。因此应该让这种轮班的时间变得更长，所以他们能够有时间去适应。因此选C。【干扰项排除】A、B、D选项均不符合上下文语义。【句意】一种解决办法似乎是让每次换班的时间变得更长，可以一个月，甚至三个月。8. 【选项释义】A. So 所以 B. In short 总之；简言之C. Similarly 类似地；差不多地 D. However 然而【答案】D【考查点】上下文语义【解题思路】空格处下文意思为：最近的研究表明，在这种系统下，人们在周末会恢复到正常的睡眠和清醒习惯，这足以摧毁在一周中建立起来的对夜间工作的适应。表示人们在周末的习惯会摧毁前文中人们在一周中建立起来的对工作的适应。人们恢复正常的习惯与人们改变作息适应工作存在转折关系，因此选D。【干扰项排除】A、B、C选项均不符合上下文语义。【句意】然而，最近的研究表明，在这种系统下，人们在周末会恢复到正常的睡眠和清醒习惯，这足以摧毁在一周中建立起来的对夜间工作的适应。9. 【选项释义】A. new 新的；新鲜的 B. normal 正常的C. temporary 暂时的；临时的；短期的 D. favorite 最喜欢的【答案】B【考查点】句间逻辑。【解题思路】空格处句意：在这种系统下，人们在周末会恢复到的睡眠和清醒习惯，这足以摧毁在一周中建立起来的对夜间工作的适应。句子后半部分表示这样的睡眠和清醒习惯会摧毁对前面夜间工作的适应。Revert表示恢复的意思。根据逻辑，人们应该是恢复到正常的作息习惯，这摧毁了他们对夜间工作的适应。因此选B。【干扰项排除】A、C、D选项均不符合句间逻辑。【句意】在这种系统下，人们在周末会恢复到正常的睡眠和清醒习惯，这足以摧毁在一周中建立起来的对夜间工作的适应。10. 【选项释义】A. wakefulness 清醒 B. sleep 睡眠C. preference 偏爱；偏好 D. habit 习惯【答案】D【考查点】上下文语义【解题思路】空格处句意：唯一真正的解决办法似乎是把夜班交给那些长期从事夜间工作的人，他们的可能会持续到整个周末和假期。根据上文可知轮班工作的人周末会恢复他们的习惯，这样会摧毁他们对工作的适应。所以应该把工作交给长期从事夜间工作的人，因为他们习惯于在夜间工作，甚至是周末和假期。因此选D。【干扰项排除】A、B、C选项均不符合上下文语义。【句意】唯一真正的解决办法似乎是把夜班交给那些长期从事夜间工作的人，他们的睡眠可能会持续到整个周末和假期。6. 单选题Richard Satava, program manager for advanced medical technologies, has been a driving force in bringing virtual reality to medicine, where computers create a “virtual” or simulated environment for surgeons and other medical practitioners.“With virtual reality well be able to put a surgeon in every trench,” said Satava. He envisaged a time when soldiers who are wounded fighting overseas are put in mobile surgical units equipped with computers.The computers would transmit images of the soldiers to surgeons back in the U.S.The surgeons would look at the soldier through virtual reality helmets that contain a small screen displaying the image of the wound. The doctors would guide robotic instruments in the battlefield mobile surgical unit that operate on the soldier.Although Satavas vision may be years away from standard operating procedure, scientists are progressing toward virtual reality surgery. Engineers at an international organization in California are developing a tele-operating device. As surgeons watch a three-dimensional image of the surgery, they move instruments that are connected to a computer, which passes their movements to robotic instruments that perform the surgery. The computer provides feedback to the surgeon on force, textures, and sound.These technological wonders may not yet be part of the community hospital setting but increasingly some of the machinery is finding its way into civilian medicine. At Wayne State University Medical School, surgeon Lucia Zamorano takes images of the brain from computerized scans and uses a computer program to produce a 3-D image. She can then maneuver the 3-D image on the computer screen to map the shortest, least invasive surgical path to the tumor. Zamorano is also using technology that attaches a probe to surgical instruments so that she can track their positions. While cutting away a tumor deep in the brain, she watches the movement of her surgical tools in a computer graphics image of the patients brain taken before surgery.During these proceduresoperations that are done through small cuts in the body in which a miniature camera and surgical tools are maneuveredsurgeons are wearing 3-D glasses for a better view. And they are commanding robot surgeons to cut away tissue more accurately than human surgeons can.Satava says, “We are in the midst of a fundamental change in the field of medicine.”1. According to Richard Satava, the application of virtual reality to medicine _.2. Richard Satava has visions of _.3. How is virtual reality surgery performed?4. During virtual reality operations, the surgeon can have a better view of the cuts in the body because _.5. Virtual reality operations are an improvement on conventional surgery in that they _.问题1选项A.will enable surgeons to be physically present on every battlefieldB.can raise the spirits of soldiers wounded on the battlefieldC.will greatly improve medical conditions on the battlefieldD.can shorten the time for operations on soldiers wounded on the battlefield问题2选项A.using a remote-control technique to treat wounded soldiers fighting overseasB.wounded soldiers being saved by doctors wearing virtual reality helmets on the battlefieldC.wounded soldiers being operated on by specially trained surgeonsD.setting up mobile surgical units overseas问题3选项A.It is performed by a computer-designed high precision device.B.Surgeons wear virtual reality helmets to receive feedback provided by a computer.C.Surgeons move robotic instruments by means of a computer linked to them.D.A 3-D image records the movements of the surgeons during the operation.问题4选项A.he is looking at the cuts on a computer screenB.the cuts can be examined from different anglesC.the cuts have been highly magnifiedD.he is wearing 3-D glasses问题5选项A.cause less pain to the woundedB.allow the patient to recover more quicklyC.will make human surgeons work less tediousD.are done by robot surgeons with greater precision【答案】第1题:C第2题:A第3题:C第4题:D第5题:D【解析】1.【选项释义】According to Richard Satava, the application of virtual reality to medicine _. 据理查德萨塔瓦（Richard Satava）称，虚拟现实在医学上的应用_。A. will enable surgeons to be physically present on every battlefield A. 将使外科医生能够亲自出现在每一个战场上B. can raise the spirits of soldiers wounded on the battlefield B. 可以让战场上受伤的士兵振作起来C. will greatly improve medical conditions on the battlefield C. 将大大改善战场上的医疗条件D. can shorten the time for operations on soldiers wounded on the battlefield D. 可以缩短战场上受伤士兵的手术时间【答案】C【考查点】推理判断题。【解题思路】根据题干信息可定位到第二段第一句“有了虚拟现实技术，我们就能在每条战壕里安置一名外科医生。”以及第三段最后一句“医生们将引导战场上机动外科部队的机器人仪器为士兵动手术。”可知虚拟现实可以运用到战场上去，由此可推断这将提高战场上的医疗水平。因此选C。【干扰项排除】A选项“将使外科医生能够亲自出现在每一个战场上”，文中第三段提到“这些电脑将把士兵的图像传送给美国的外科医生。外科医生将通过虚拟现实头盔观察士兵”也就是说医生们并不是亲自出现在战场上的，而是通过电脑进行操作。该选项意思与原文意思相反，属于反向干扰；B选项“可以让战场上受伤的士兵振作起来”，文中没有提及，该选项属于无中生有；D选项“可以缩短战场上受伤士兵的手术时间”，文中没有提及，该选项属于无中生有。2.【选项释义】Richard Satava has visions of _. 理查德萨塔瓦设想_。A. using a remote-control technique to treat wounded soldiers fighting overseas A. 使用远程控制技术治疗在海外作战的受伤士兵B. wounded soldiers being saved by doctors wearing virtual reality helmets on the battlefield B. 在战场上，戴着虚拟现实头盔的医生拯救受伤士兵的情景C. wounded soldiers being operated on by specially trained surgeons C. 受过专门训练的外科医生为受伤的士兵做手术D. setting up mobile surgical units overseas D. 在海外设立移动外科单位【答案】A【考查点】事实细节题。【解题思路】根据题干信息可定位到第二段“他设想了这样一个时代：在海外作战中受伤的士兵被安置在配备了电脑的移动外科病房里。”配备电脑也就是指的远程治疗，由此可知他设想用远程治疗技术治疗海外作战的士兵。因此选A。【干扰项排除】B选项“在战场上，戴着虚拟现实头盔的医生拯救受伤士兵的情景”，文中第三段提到“外科医生将通过虚拟现实头盔观察士兵，头盔上有一个显示伤口图像的小屏幕。医生们将引导战场上机动外科部队的机器人仪器为士兵动手术。”也就是说是戴着头盔的医生引导机器人做手术，而不是医生本人做手术，该选项属于张冠李戴；C选项“受过专门训练的外科医生为受伤的士兵做手术”，文中提到“医生们将引导战场上机动外科部队的机器人仪器为士兵动手术。”也就是说是机器人做手术而不是医生做手术，该选项属于张冠李戴；D选项“在海外设立移动外科单位”，文中没有提及，该选项属于无中生有。3.【选项释义】How is virtual reality surgery performed? 虚拟现实手术是如何进行的？A. It is performed by a computer-designed high precision device. A. 它是由计算机设计的高精度装置完成的。B. Surgeons wear virtual reality helmets to receive feedback provided by a computer. B. 外科医生戴着虚拟现实头盔接受电脑提供的反馈。C.

Her line productivity since then has been prodigious, accumulating in less than two decades to nearly thirty titles, including novels, collections of short stories and verse, plays, and literary criticism. In the meantime, she has continued to teach, moving in 1967 from the University of Detroit to the University of Windsor, in Ontario, and in 1978 to Princeton University. Reviewers have admired her enormous energy, but find a productivity of such magnitude difficult to assess.In a period characterized by the abandonment of so much of the realistic tradition by authors such as John Barth, Donald Barthelme, and Thomas Pynchon, Joyce Carol Oates has seemed at times determinedly old-fashioned in her insistence on the essentially mimetic quality of her fiction. Hers is a world of violence, insanity, fractured love, and hopeless loneliness. Although some of it appears to come from her own direct observations, her dreams, and her fears, much more is clearly form the experience of others. Her first novel, With Shuddering Fall (1964), dealt with stock car racing, though she had never seen a race. In Them (1969) she focused on Detroit from the Depression through the riots of 1967, drawing much of her material from the Depression made on her by the problems of one of her students. Whatever the source and however shocking the events or the motivations, however, her fictive world remains strikingly akin to that real one reflected in the daily newspapers, the television news and talk shows, and the popular magazines of our day.1. What is the main purpose of the passage?2. Which of the following does the passage indicate about Joyce Carol Oatess first publication?3. Which of the following does the passage suggest about Joyce Carol Oates in terms of her writing career?4. What was the subject of Joyce Carol Oatess first novel?5. Which of the following would Joyce Carol Oates be most likely to write?问题1选项A.To review Oatess By the North Gate.B.To compare some modern writers.C.To describe Oatess childhood.D.To outline Oatess career.问题2选项A.It was part of her masters thesis.B.It was a volume of short fiction.C.It was not successful.D.It was about an English instructor in Detroit.问题3选项A.She has experienced long nonproductive periods in her writing.B.Her style is imitative of other contemporary authors.C.She has produced a surprising amount of fictions in a relative short time.D.Most of her work is based on personal experience.问题4选项A.Loneliness.B.Insanity.C.Teaching.D.Racing.问题5选项A.A story with an unhappy ending.B.A
