A BIOGRAPHY①OF ISAAC ASIMOV
Isaac Asimov was an American scientist and writer who wrote around 480 books that included mystery stories, science and history books, and even books about the Holy② Bible and Shakespeare③. But he is best known for④his science fiction stories. Asimov had both an extraordinary imagination⑤that gave him the ability to explore⑥future worlds and an amazing mind with which he searched for⑦explanations of everything, in the present and the past.
Asimov's life began in Russia, where he was born on 2 January, 1920⑧. It ended in New York on 6 April, 1992, when he died as a result of⑨an HIV infection that he had got from a blood transfusion⑩ nine years earlier. ①biography/baI'ɒɡrəfI/n．(由他人撰写的)传记；传记文学

艾萨克·阿西莫夫传
[第1～2段译文]
艾萨克·阿西莫夫是美国的科学家兼作家，他写过大约480本书，包括怪诞小说、科学和历史方面的书，甚至还写过有关《圣经》和莎士比亚的书。

但是，他最有名的作品是他的科幻小说。

阿西莫夫不仅有着超凡的想象力，使他能对未来世界进行探索，而且还有着惊人的智力，使他搜寻对现在的和过去的各种事物的解释。

阿西莫夫的一生从俄罗斯开始，他生于1920年1月2日。

其一生在纽约结束，他于1992年4月6日去世，他是因为9年前的一次输血中感染了艾滋病病毒而去世的。

When Asimov was three, he moved with his parents and his one-year-old sister to New York City. There his parents bought a candy store which they ran for the next 40 or so⑪years⑫. At the age of nine, when his mother was pregnant⑬with her third child, Asimov started working part-time⑭in the store. He helped out⑮through his school and university years until 1942, a year after he had gained a master's degree⑯in chemistry. In 1942 he joined the staff⑰of the Philadelphia Navy⑱Yard as a junior⑲chemist and worked there for three years. In 1948 he got his PhD⑳in chemistry. The next year he became a biochemistry○21 teacher at Boston University School of Medicine. In 1958 he gave up teaching to become a full-time○22writer. ⑪or so大约(用在数字之后)

[第3段译文],阿西莫夫3岁的时候，就随同父母和年仅一岁的妹妹迁到纽约。

在那儿，他的父母买下了一家糖果店，后来一直经营了大约40年。

阿西莫夫9岁的时候，母亲怀了第三个孩子，他就开始在糖果店里兼职工作了。

他读中学和大学的那段时期都在糖果店里工作，一直到1942年，也就是他获得化学硕士学位一年以后他才停止糖果店的工作。

1942年他成为费城海军造船厂的一名初级化学师，并在那里工作了3年。

1948年他获得化学博士学位。

第二年他在波士顿大学的医学院任生化教员。

1958年他放弃了教学工作成为专职作家。

It was when Asimov was eleven years old that his talent○23for writing became obvious○24. He had told a friend two chapters○25of a story he had written○26.

[第4段译文],早在阿西莫夫11岁的时候，他的写作才华就已经显露出来了。

他把他写的小说中的两个章节讲给一个朋友听。

这个朋友还以为他是在复述某本书上的故事呢。

这使阿西莫夫很惊讶，从那以后，他就开始把自己当做一名真正的作家。

1939年，阿西莫夫开始在科幻杂志上发表小说，1950年出版了他的第一部小说，1953年出版了他的第一部科学书籍。

Throughout his life, Asimov received many awards○29，both for his science fiction books and his science books. Among his most famous works of science fiction, one for which he won an award○30was the Foundation trilogy○31(1951－1953), three novels about the death and rebirth of a great empire○32in a galaxy○33of the future. It was loosely based on○34the fall of the Roman Empire but was about the future. These books are famous because Asimov invented a theoretical○35framework○36which was designed to○37show how ideas and thinking○38may develop in the future○39. He is also well known for○40his collection of short stories, I, Robot(1950), in which he developed a set of three “laws” for robots○41. For example, the first law states○42that a robot must not injure human beings or allow them to be injured.

[第5～6段译文],阿西莫夫一生中获过多次奖，既有科幻小说奖，也有科学书籍奖。

在他那些最著名的科幻作品中，有一部获奖作品叫做《基地》三部曲(1951～1953)，由三本小说组成，讲的是未来银河系中一个伟大帝国的灭亡和再生。

基本素材取自罗马帝国的衰败，但讲的是有关未来的事情。

这些书之所以有名，是因为阿西莫夫创造了一种理论框架，用以阐述各种想法在未来可能会如何发展。

他的短篇小说集《我，机器人》(1950)也是享有盛名的，在这本书里他提出机器人的三大“原则”。

举例来说，第一条原则就规定机器人不得伤害人类，也不能允许人类受到伤害。

他有关机器人的一些想法影响了后来的其他作者，甚至影响了那些从事人工智能研究的科学家们。

,阿西莫夫结过两次婚。

他于1942年同他的第一任妻子结婚，生有一男一女。

这次婚姻持续了31年。

1973年离婚后不久，阿西莫夫又结婚了，但是他与第二任妻子没有生育儿女。

二、勤练高考题型，多练自能生巧
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Researchers at Pennsylvania State University chose 45 healthy overweight people who agreed to try three different kinds of diets (饮食). Their study appeared on Wednesday in the JournaloftheAmericanHeartAssociation.
One was a low-fat diet that included lots of fruits, low-fat
milky products, and small amounts of red meat. The other two
were moderate-fat diets. That is, the fat they included was not
very high or very low. The kinds of foods and meals were
similar to the low-fat diet, but they included more nuts and oils.
The only difference between the two was the avocado —a
pear-shaped fruit with a thick green or dark purple skin. One diet included a daily serving of one avocado, and the other diet had the same amount of fat from other sources.
At the end of the study, the researchers found that the avocado diet led to a big, noticeable drop in LDL compared with the other two diets. LDL is the bad kind of cholesterol (胆固醇), which is found in your blood. Too much LDL in your body may cause heart disease.
“I was surprised to see the added advantage of the avocado，” said Penny Kris-Etherton, a nutrition (营养) scientist at Penn State and the lead author of the study.
She says she'd like to do further research to explain the added drop in LDL in the study groups. It's possible that the fiber (纤维) in avocados may play a role in lowering the cholesterol, she says. “In the U．S., most people do not eat an avocado every day because of its high prices. Some people take it with chips (薯片)，” Penny added.
But one caveat for anyone who loves avocado dip (酱)：When it's served up with chips, the calories can add up. Calories show how much energy food will produce. A half cup of avocado dip has about 200 calories all on its own.
语篇解读：本文是说明文。

研究发现鳄梨能够有效降低血液中坏胆固醇的含量。

1．What can we learn about the three kinds of diets?
A．The low-fat diet mainly included nuts and oils.
B．The avocado diet included three avocados a day.
C．All three diets had totally different kinds of foods.
D．The moderate-fat diets probably had milky products.
解析：选D推理判断题。

由第二段中的“a low-fat diet that included ...low-fat milky products”和“The kinds of foods and meals were similar to the low-fat diet, but they included
more nuts and oils”可知，两种中等脂肪含量的节食方案应该也有奶制品，故选D项。

2．The study shows that the avocado ________.
A．always causes heart disease
B．makes people put on weight
C．can reduce the level of LDL
D．is a good source of nutrition
解析：选C细节理解题。

由第三段中的“At the end of the study, the researchers found that the avocado diet led to a big, noticeable drop in LDL”可知，鳄梨能够有效降低血液中坏胆固醇的含量，故选C项。

3．What Penny said in Paragraph 4 shows her ________.
A．doubt B．excitement
C．sadness D．kindness
解析：选B推理判断题。

由Penny所说的“I was surprised to see the added advantage of the avocado”可知，对于鳄梨的特殊功效她感到非常惊喜，故选B项。

4．What does the unde rlined word “caveat” probably mean?
A．Joke. B．Choice.
C．Pity. D．Warning.
解析：选D词义猜测题。

由该词后面的“When it's served up with chips, the calories can add up”可知，同时食用鳄梨酱和薯片的话，热量会增高，不利于健康。

作者在此提出了警告，故选D项。

Ⅱ.语法填空
