文章难度：★★★词数：310 建议做题用时：8分钟Scientists in Israel have discovered a new way to test for water pollution by "listening" to what the plants growing in water have to say.
By shining a laser(激光) beam on the tiny pieces of algae floating in the water, the researchers said they hear sound waves that tell them the type and amount of pollutant in the water.
"It is a red light, telling us that something is beginning to go wrong with the quality of water," said Zvy Dubinsky, an aquatic(水的) biologist at Israel's Bar Ilan University. "Algae is the first thing to be affected by a change in water quality." The secret, he said, is to measure the rate of photosynthesis(光用) in the algae, meaning the plant's ability to transform light into energy. During photosynthesis, plants also release oxygen into the air.
Dubinsky's technique is easy to perform because of the over-abundance of algae in the
planet's water. Most of the oxygen in the water comes from algae. A prototype(样品) tester, which occupies about one square meter of a laboratory desktop, shoots a laser beam at water samples to stimulate photosynthesis in the algae. But not all of the laser's heat is used. Depending on the condition of the algae and the rate of photosynthesis, some of the heat is shot back into the water, creating sound waves, Dubinsky said. With a special underwater microphone, researchers are able to analyze the strength of the sound waves and determine the health of the algae and the condition of the surrounding water.
"Algae suffering from lead poisoning, like waste from battery and paint manufacturing plants, will produce a different sound than those suffering from lack of iron or exposure to other toxins(毒素)," said researcher Zvy Dubinsky.
1. Dubinsky's technique is easy to perform because ___________________.
A. there is plenty of algae in water
B. most of the oxygen in water comes from the algae
C. they shine a laser beam on the algae
D. the prototype tester can only occupy a small area
2. Why is the algae tested?
A. Because it floats on the water.
B. It can have photosynthesis.
C. It is the first to be polluted.
D. It can produce different sounds.
3. We can infer from the passage that ___________________.
A. the algae can give a louder sound when polluted
B. the algae can die easily from pollution
C. the photosynthesis in the algae can only be caused by sunlight
D. the photosynthesis of the algae is related to water quality
4. What would be the best title of the passage?
A. Scientists listen to plants to find water pollution
B. A prototype tester is used to determine water pollution
C. The importance of photosynthesis of the algae
D. The problem with chemical and radioactive carbon testing
5. The underlined word "algae" probably means a kind of ______________________.
A. instrument
B. plant
C. wood
D. pollutant

本文是夹叙夹议的文章。

在1924年奥运会上，Bill Havens要参加四人划艇比赛，本来他很有希望跟队友一起夺得金牌，但为了即将分娩的妻子，他还是选择放弃了比赛。

但他从没有为此感到懊悔，而只觉得这是自己所做的最好的决定。

1．A。

从后面，比赛的时间是正好是他妻子要分娩的时间是可知：此处指奥运会比赛之前的情况，也就是奥运会临近的时候。

D项。

表示“缩小〞间隔或者差距。

2．B。

根据语境可知：他和队友将参加四人划艇的比赛。

A项仅仅是“练习〞。

3．D。

跟前文形成比照，在海上坐船速度很慢，“贵的〞，“重的〞，都不是此处强调的意思。

4．C。

他是参加比赛，还是呆在家里陪护妻子，他处于了两难的境地。

A项，指“匆忙〞，不合语境。

D项意思和语法都不对。

5．B。

在他眼中不在妻子身边陪护她分娩是一种危险。

因为此处是动名词的否认式，因此其它动词不合题意。

6．D。

此处表示他打算退出比赛，呆在家里陪护妻子，withdraw退出，符合题意。

7．C。

从后面的动词形式可推断，此处应该用后面能跟虚拟语气构造的动词，只有insist 符合要求。

D项不合语法要求。

8．A。

此处强调比赛对他来说的重要性，用“毕竟〞，来加强语气。

B项表示突出后面的内容，“首先；最重要的是〞。

9．D。

根据语境可知：获得奥运会金牌是他毕生的梦想，放弃了很可惜。

C项表示“机遇〞，不合逻辑，因为参加奥运会不一定是一生中仅有的时机。

10. B。

从前文他感到进退两难可知：他内心很矛盾。

B项“感到矛盾的〞符合逻辑。

C项表示“感到迷惑〞，表达不出此处的语境。

11．C。

此时他开场拷问自己的灵魂，因此用soul searching。

A项表示“回忆〞，D项表“和平〞，而此处强调的是他精神斗争的过程。

12．A。

他最终决定留在家里来照顾妻子，支持妻子。

如选C项，那么含有他妻子心情不好的意思，但前文说明他妻子坚持要他去参加比赛，并没有显示出她情绪不好。

13．D。

此处是固定句式，表示“正如情况后来发生的那样〞。

feed back当“反应〞讲，不用于这一句式构造。

14．C。

后文有提示，他妻子晚产了，因此他本来有时间是去参加比赛，其它形容词不合
逻辑。

15．B。

此处说明他妻子晚产这一事实，因此用in fact符合逻辑。

D项表示“简言之〞。

16．D。

从文章最后一段可知：虽然错过了比赛，但他并没有懊悔。

选“痛苦〞，“难受〞，“失败〞，都不符合此处的语境。

17．A。

他感觉这是所做的较好的决定，还是强调他不懊悔。

18．C。

他知道生活中什么事情对他来说最重要。

D项表示关系“严密的〞。

19．D。

他可以放弃比赛，说明了他坚强的个性，此处“责任〞，“智慧〞都不是文章强调的意思。

他回绝了参赛时机，而选择了对自己来说重要的事情，matter用作动词，当“重要；有关系〞讲，符合逻辑。

A项多表示时间是“持续〞。
