Postit Notesthe pieces of paper that you can fasten(固定)almost anywhere and then remove without leaving any sign that they were thereare an example of such an invention.Postit Notes were invented about twenty years ago by Art Fry, a scientist at 3M Corporation. The idea for the product came from a frustrating(令人沮丧的)experience he often had while singing in his church choir(唱诗班). Fry used pieces of paper as bookmarks to mark the places in his book of songs, but these bookmarks were always falling out. He knew he needed a bookmark that would stay where he put it, but that he could remove without damaging the pages.Around that time, Fry heard about a new adhesive(粘合剂)that a colleague(同行)，Dr. Spence Silver, had created. This adhesive was special because it was sticky, but not too sticky. It was strong enough to hold papers together, but weak enough to not tear the paper when it was removed. Fry saw that the new adhesive could help solve his bookmark problem. One morning, Fry put some of the adhesive on the edge of a piece of paper. Just as he hoped, it made a perfect bookmark.A short time later, Fry realized that his new invention had even more uses than being a great bookmark. He came to this realization when he wrote a note on one of his new “bookmarks”and attached(附着)it to a report he was going to give to a colleague. Soon, coworkers were asking Fry for more samples(样品)of his invention so that they could use the new type of notes themselves.Fry and some other people at 3M believed so much in the new product that they persuaded the company to give away thousands of the “sticky pieces of paper”for trial(试验)use. When some salespeople at 3M went to offices and showed workers just how helpful the new type of notes could be, they immediately received many orders. As more and more people discovered how useful Postit Notes could be, the product took_off.36The invention of Postit Notes showed that Art Fry_.Ahad a lot of knowledgeBwas very hardworkingCwas good at creative(创造性的)thinkingDloved his job in the church答案：C推理判断题。从本文的第一句话“Some inventions are so useful, but seem so simple, that we wonder why no one thought of them long ago.”可得到暗示，Fry之所以能发明该产品是因为他善于思考，而一般人常缺乏思考精神。37In what way did Dr. Spence help Art Fry?AThey worked together and often discussed science.BHis invention of a special adhesive made Arts invention possible.CHe persuaded 3M Corporation to give away lots of Postit Notes for trial use.DHe cooperated with Art by providing the new adhesive for Art.答案：B概括归纳题。从第二段第一句的内容(Fry heard about a new adhesive that a colleague.had created.)及其后的“Fry saw that the new adhesive could help solve his bookmark problem.”可做出正确判断。38Which of the following is a possible use of Postit Notes?AA note on a friends door.BAn Email to a friend.CA postcard from abroad.DAn ad in a newspaper.答案：A推理判断题。本文讲了Postit Notes的便利性，它的好处是：几乎可以在任何地方粘贴然后可以不留任何痕迹地拿掉。既然是Notes，当然A项正确。B、C、D三项指的是信件、明片和报纸广告，均不是该产品的用途。39The underlined phrase“took off”means_.Astarted to leave the groundBdisappeared from the marketChad even more usesDbecame popular very quickly答案：D词义理解题。从该词所在的句子“As more and more people discovered how useful Postit Notes could be, the product took off.”及上面的内容可知该短语意为“产品突然大受欢迎”，与D项意思吻合。40The biggest advantage of Postit Notes is_.Ait can stay anywhere and leave no sign when removedBit is very cheap to useCit is good to write notes onDit is very thin and beautiful答案：A概括归纳题。Postit Notes之所以受欢迎是因为粘贴和拿掉均很方便，其实这也是发明者当初发明时的主要目的。这从第一段及第三段的有关说明可知。B、C、D三项均不是该产品的主要优点，有的甚至本文就没有提及。BThere are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour_the_pleasure_of_society,_offend(hurt)many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing(批评)and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrong doings. These should change this bad babit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not(change this bad habit), it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接触)with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.41People who are unhappy_.Aalways consider things differently from othersBusually are affected by the results of certain thingsCusually misunderstand what others think or sayDalways discover the unpleasant side of certain things答案：D细节判断题。从第二段第三句话Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things.可以看出另一类人为什么感到不幸福的原因。42The underlined phrase“sour the pleasure of society”most probably means“_”Ahave a good taste with social lifeBmake others unhappyCtend to scold others openlyDenjoy the pleasure of life答案：B词义猜测题。从该短语后的.offend(hurt)many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere，可以猜出sour the pleasure of society的正确含义。43We can conclude from the passage that_.Awe should pity all such unhappy peopleBsuch unhappy people are dangerous to social lifeCpeople can get rid of the habit of unhappinessDunhappy people cannot understand happy persons答案：C推理判断题。从第二段倒数第二句话The habit may be strong, but it may be cured.可以判断出人们可以改变不幸福的脾性。44If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should_.Aprevent any communication with themBshow no respect and politeness to themCpersuade them to recognize the bad effectsDquarrel with them until they realize the mistakes答案：A推理判断题。从第三段的倒数第二句话If they do not (change this bad habit), it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接触)with them.可以看出作者的态度。45In this passage, the writer mainly_.Adescribes two types of peopleBlaughs at the unhappy peopleCsuggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappinessDtells people how to be happy in life答案：C主旨大意。本文主要讲的是那些感觉不幸福的人处处冒犯别人，若长此以往，则只能处于被孤立的境地，所以他们应改变自己的习惯。CNuclear powers(核能的) danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be described in one word：radiation(辐射)Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected(探测)by human senses. It cant be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we cant detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we cant sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being outright by killing masses of cells(细胞)in important organs(器官). But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed outright. Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in an unusual way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the knowledge of the person at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated(放射治疗)and feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak or easy to get serious illness as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.46According to the passage, the danger of nuclear power lies in_.Anuclear mystery Bradiation detectionCradiation level Dnuclear radiation答案：D细节判断题。根据文章开头的内容Nuclear powers(核能的) danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be described in one word：radiation.可以判断D为正确答案。47Radiation can lead to serious results even at the lowest level_.Awhen it kills few cellsBif it damages few cellsCthough the damaged cells can repair themselvesDunless the damaged cells can reproduce themselves答案：D推理判断题。根据文章的倒数第三段中的But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble.可以判断D为正确答案。48Radiation can hurt us in the way that it can_.Akill large numbers of cells in main organs so as to cause death immediatelyBdamage cells which may grow into cancer years laterCaffect the healthy growth of our younger generationDlead to all of the above results答案：D推理判断题。在文章的最后两段中讲述了核辐射伤害人的几种方式：它可以杀死人体主要器官中的大量细胞，导致人立即死亡。如果核辐射当时没有对人体的重要部位造成伤害，它的破坏作用也是不可忽视的，如果一些少量的细胞只是遭到破坏，而它们自己又以不同寻常的方式再生的话，就会引起麻烦，有可能使人得癌症；另外，核辐射给人体造成的伤害可能在当时或短时间内感觉不出来，可能造成在五年、十年或二十年后死亡；有时一个孩子生下来身体很弱，或者很容易得重病，原因竟是他的祖父母受到过核辐射的结果。由此看来，A、B、C三个选项讲述的内容都正确，因此答案为D。49According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?ARadiation cant be seen or heard even though it may be all around us.BRadio is not harmless to human beings and other living things.CRadiation may do harm to several generations.DWe can sense radioactivity by a radiation detector.答案：B综合判断题。B项与文章第二段中的 But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.相矛盾。50Which of the following can be best inferred from the passage?AThe importance of protection from radiation cannot be overemphasized(过分强调)BThe mystery about radiation remains unsolved.CCancer is mainly caused by radiation.DRadiation can hurt those who do not know about its danger.答案：A推理判断题。文章主要是阐述核辐射对人体造成的种种危害，从而强调防止核辐射的重要意义，因此答案是A。其中cannot be overemphasized意思是“怎么强调也不过分”。D(2010山东兖州市高一下模块检测)Toronto is a big and beautiful city，which has developed from a relative unknown place over the past half century to the center of culture，trade and communication in Canada.With its colorful ethnic(种族的)mix，rich history and breathtaking buildings，Toronto offers nonstop adventures to the tourists. To get a sense of how big，various and magical Toronto is，the best place to start is the CN Tower，the tallest freestanding(无支撑物的)building in the world. From this point，visitors can get a birdseye view of the citys amazing scenery and unique geography.In addition to being an important center of culture，trade and communication in Canada，Toronto is also a major multiethnic city. It has a population of over 4. 5maillion, and its citizens come from countries around the world and from all manner of ethnic backgrounds. Every day，in most places of the city，a hundred different languages can be heard on the streets，from Hindi to Greek to French. This，perhaps，explains why former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau once said that Canada_is_really_more_mosaic(马赛克，镶嵌图案)_of_cultures_and_languages_than_a_melting_pot.Street signs in Toronto are mostl
