Drinking alcohol also increases appetite, because the body wants something ___45___(absorb) the alcohol.

本文是关于饮食的科学常识。

主要讲述了有些人吃的太多的原因。

41. explanation
考查名词。

句意：为什么有些人吃得太多？是因为他们饿了吗？还是有科学的解释？本句中explain被形容词scientific 修饰，形容词不能修饰动词，故用名词explanation。

42. for
考查固定搭配。

Account for…. 是……原因、理由，对……作出解释说明，（在数量、比例上）占，句意：这里有许多理论可以解释为什么吃得过多。

故填for.
43. a
考查冠词表数量。

一位精神病教授说，表示数量的，第一次提及的要用不定冠词a。

44. have eaten/have been eating
考查固定句式的时态。

句意：你中午很饿，因为这是你在过去100天吃午饭的时间。

根据It’s the time that从句要用现在完成时，故要用have eaten/have been eating.
45. to absorb
考查动词不定式作状语。

句意：喝酒也能增加食欲，因为身体想要吸收酒精。

分析句子可知，本空表示目的，故要用动词不定式to absorb。

46. Basically
考查副词。

基本上，暴饮暴食也是一个生物学因素的问题。

分析本句可知basical是修饰一个句子“暴饮暴食也是一个生物学因素的问题”，故要用副词basically.
47. drops
考查谓语动词。

句意：当你到了吃饭的时候，你的体温会下降，吃东西会使你暖和起来。

drop主语是temperature，第三人称单数形式。

故要用drops
48. them
考查代词。

句意：而且，某些食物的气味可以让我们潜意识地想象吃它们的乐趣。

本句的动词eat 的宾语是the smell of certain foods。

故要用them.
49. smelling
考查动词的ing形式在句中作主语。

闻着会让你想吃掉它们。

Smell them 作will make you….，可知smell them不能作主语，要用动词ing形式作主语，故用smelling。

50. which

本题比较典型，5道小题皆利用这个方法。

三、阅读理解
19. Why don’t birds get lost on their long migratory (迁居的) flights? Scientists have puzzled over this question for many years. Now they’re beginning to fill in the blanks.
Not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours. But what about birds that fly mainly by night? Tests with artificial stars have proved conclusively that certain night-flying birds are able to follow the stars in their long-distance flights.
One such bird, a warbler(鸣禽) , had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flown under a natural sky. Yet it showed an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance. The bird’s cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky at migration time. The bird tried
to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins. Any change in the direction of the make-be-live stars caused a change in the direction of his flight. Scientists think that warblers, when flying in daylight, use the sun for guidance. But the stars are apparently their main means of navigation (导航). What do they do when the stars are hidden by clouds? Apparently, they find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coast lines, and river courses. But when it’s too dark to see these, the warblers circle helplessly, unable to get their direction.
60. The reasons why birds don’t get lost on migratory flights__________.
A. have been known to scientists for many years
B. are known by everyone
C. have only recently been discovered
D. will probably remain a mystery
61. Warblers migrate__________.
A. from North America to South America
B. using what is apparently an inborn navigational ability
C. only once during their lifetime
D. when they are freed from their cages
62. When the stars are hidden by clouds, warblers find their way by__________ .
A. an artificial star
B. some landmarks
C. their inborn ability
D. A and B
63. This article is a good example of the way scientists__________ .
A. discover workable answers to universal questions by studying particular cases(特别案例)
B. jump to conclusions
C. find a law and then investigate（调查）
D. are disappointed by the habits of animals

20. 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.
We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.
Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child.”
56. The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _______ while “dull” in the second paragraph means ________.
A. great and important; common
B. pretty and handsome; ordinary-looking
C. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understanding
D. hopeful and helpful; careless
57 A person ________ is more likely to become a genius.
A. whose parents are clever
B. often thinking about difficult problems
C. often helped by his parents and teachers
D. born with a good brain and putting it into active use
58. It is better for parents ________.
A. to praise and encourage their children more often
B. to be hard on their children
C. to leave their children alone with nothing to do
D. to give their children as much help as possible
59. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?
A. Parents play an important part in their children’s growth.
B. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.
C. The less you use your mind the duller you may become.
D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion. 参考答案：
CDAB。
