Each one is carrying a small basket with a single egg inside. Soon more students join them-each one of them is also carrying a basket with an egg. The eggs in a basket are part of a new school program that helps young people understand that having a baby is a great duty.At the beginning of the program, the teacher puts the students in pairs-one girl and one boy. Each pair gets an egg, which they must take care of for two weeks. For those fourteen days, the students have to take care of the eggs as though they were real babies. Students whose eggs get broken have to start the two weeks all over again with a new egg.One person in each pair must have the egg with him or her at all times-twenty-four hours a day. At no time can they let the egg be out of sight. "If a teacher catches you without your egg," said one student, "she makes you go get it. They are really strict." The teachers also make the students spend half an hour each day sitting with the egg and just watching it. That can get pretty boring. But it's also something that parents spend a lot of time doing.Children say that the program has helped them understand the duties involved inhaving a child. "It was really hard," said one student, "You had to think all the time about the egg."(5)、From the last paragraph, we can infer that ______.Aa program is the only way to educate childrenBone has to think about a program all the timeConly one child grasps the purpose of the programDthe program is of help to children's understanding of parents正确答案是：D23、Mr. Liu, _______ at university in Changchun, works at Changhou Company now.

Our reactions help to determine whether our child will repeat his behavior or whether he will do something different. This statement is a very important part of a principle of behavioral psychology.The principle states that a behavior is influenced or affected by how the environment ---- people, places and things ---- immediately responds to the behavior. Perhaps without realizing it, you have used this principle many times.On the occasion when you told your child what a good boy he was after he cleaned up his room, you used the principle. When you sent your child to his room for fighting with his brother, you used the principle. When I gave Kim a cookie after she started to cry, I used the principle. In each of these examples, a particular behavior occurred first ----cleaning up a room, fighting, and crying.In addition, there was a reaction to each behavior ---- the child was praised, sent to his room, or given a cookie. By these actions, we have influenced the previous behaviors and have helped to determine whether those behaviors will occur again in the future.(2) On what kind of principle is the lecture based?AA principle in chemistry.BA principle in behavioral psychology.CA principle in physics.DA principle in geology.正确答案是：B36、— _______ —Yes, I’ll be happy to cash it for you.ADo you need any cash?BAre you happy with the cash?CAre you happy to cash it for me?DMay I cash a traveler’s check here?正确答案是：D37、—Bring me the bill, please.— _______AYou are welcome.BPlease wait for a moment, sir.CI'll hurry up.DBe quick正确答案是：B38、We go to the cinema ______ a week.AoftenBonceCseldomDusually正确答案是：B39、If you _______ me, I shall be very grateful to you.Amust helpBwill helpCmay helpDneed help正确答案是：B40、Unemployment is not the _______— the real problem is the decline in public morality. AtroubleBmatterCissueDthing正确答案是：C二、判断题共5题，20分1、All over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy, happy and help them to live longer.Sports change with the season. People play different games in winter and summer.Games and sports often grow out of people's work and everyday activities. The Arabs use horses or camels in much of their everyday life; they use them in their sports, too.Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers.Some sports or games go back to thousands of years ago, like running or jumping. Chinese boxing, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither one is a hundred years old yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time.People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but aftera game they often become good friends. Sports help to train a person's character. One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace.(4)、From this passage we can see that according to the author sports and games are significant to our life in many respects.A错误B正确正确答案是：B2、Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history, greater than what only a few other men have achieved. An American university president once commented that Einstein had created a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity of time and space and so on-but even ordinary men understand now that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.By 1914 the young Einstein had gained world fame. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study, but soon his peace and quiet were broken by the First World War.Einstein hated violence. The misery of war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.In the years following World War I honors were increasingly heaped on him. He became the head of the Kaiser Whihem Institute of Theoretical Physics. In 1921 he won the Noble Prize, and he was honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.(1)、The main idea of Paragraph 1 is the change in human thought produced by Einstein. A错误B正确正确答案是：B3、In 1920, barely out of his teens, Alfred Hitchcock went to work for an American film company which had opened a studio in Islington, London. His first job at the studio was writing captions （脚本）for silent movies. Within two years, he was writing scripts（剧本）and working as an assistant director.For the rest of the 1920s, Hitchcock worked on one film after another in Britain and Germany. Filming was often a rough-and-ready（匆忙做成的）affair and the assistant director was required to step in and plug gaps. A cameraman went missing, Hitchcock became a cameraman. A scene needed rewriting, Hitchcock rewrote it. Someone needed to be in charge of money when the film crew was on location, Hitchcock looked after the money.At the same time, this being the era of silent movies, Hitchcock was learning the language of cinema: telling a story－not through dialogue, but through visual images（视觉影象）. This led to his success later.When he began to direct his own films, first in Britain and later in Hollywood, he was determined to make films that held the audience's attention and kept tension（紧张感）. He succeeded. Hitchcock's ability to put you on the edge of your seat makes him one of the greatest makers of suspense（悬念）movies.(5)、He had taken up different jobs before he succeeded.A错误B正确正确答案是：B4、In 1920, barely out of his teens, Alfred Hitchcock went to work for an American film company which had opened a studio in Islington, London.

Then everything changed. During the Fourth of July weekend, residents woke up one morning to find that the lake had disappeared.Some people didn't believe what they were seeing. They looked again, but to their amazement they found they had been right the first time. The lake was simply no longer there. In its place was a big muddy hole, 30 feet deep. It was as if the lake had been a giant bathtub and someone had pulled the plug.The lake's owner, Joseph Unanue, did indeed pull the plug. That's exactly what happened. The dam that held back the water to form the lake was falling apart, sogovernment officials ordered him to repair it. They issued him a permit to lower the dam level "five feet or more."He did much more. Mr. Unanue found repairs to the dam would cost $100,000. He didn't want to spend that much, so he opened the dam and lowered the water level until the lake was completely emptied. People living above the dam ended up with no lake. People living below the dam ended up with tons of mud and lots of dead fish. Everyone involved was angry with Mr. Unanue.Area residents believed Mr. Unanue acted out of spite（恶意）. They said he wanted to get back at them because the town wouldn't let him develop an amusement park on the lakeshore. When he couldn't build his park, he just went away and took his lake with him.(2)、The lake was compared to a bathtub because it could be emptied out.A错误B正确正确答案是：B。
新世纪大学英语综合教程4第四册unit2_Technology_and_Happiness
Detail Reading
In the present era, all of us are enthusiastically pursuing technological advancement and take it for granted that the development of technology will make us happier. However, little evidence can be found to prove the correlation between technology and happiness once material and technological advances reach a certain level. The text below may provide you with some insights into this issue.
On the one hand...
Q: What changes could take place in our future life with the advancement of technology?
• Everything is automatic • Production be increased. • Human labor be decreased. • People’s mental horizon be broadened.
Para 2
By most standards, then, you would have to say that Americans are better off now than they were in the middle of the last century. Oddly, though, if you ask Americans how happy they are, you’ll find that they are no happier than they were in 1946 (which is when formal surveys of happiness started). In fact, the percentage of people who say they are “very happy” has fallen slightly since the early 1970s — even though the income of people born in 1940 has, on average, increased by 116 percent over the course of their working lives. You can find similar data for most developed countries.

The Rialto Bridge is one of the fourbridges spanning the Grand Canal. It is the oldest bridge across the canal, andwas the dividing line between the districts of San Marco and San Polo. But onthis day, there was a twist: it was filled with Venetians, not tourists.B)"People are cheering and holding their carts in the air," says Giovanni Giorgio,who helped organize the march with a grass-roots organization calledGenerazione '90. The carts he refers to are small shopping carts—the symbol of a true Venetian. "It started as a joke," he says with a laugh. "The idea was to putblades on the wheels! You know? Like Ben Hur. Precisely like that, you just goaround and run people down."C) Venice is one of the hottest tourist destinations in the world. But that's aproblem. Up to 90,000 tourists crowd its streets and canals every day—far outnumbering the 55,000 permanent residents. The tourist increase is one keyreason the city's population is down from 175,000 in the 1950s. Theoutnumbered Venetians have been steadily fleeing. And those who stick aroundare tired of living in a place where they can't even get to the market withoutswimming through a sea of picture-snapping tourists. Imagine, navigatingthrough 50,000 people while on the way to school or to work.D) Laura Chigi, a grandmother at the march, says the local and nationalgovernments have failed to do anything about the crowds for decades, becausethey're only interested in tourism—the primary industry in Venice, worth morethan $3 billion in 2015. "Venice is a cash cow," she says, "and everyone wantsa piece."E) Just beyond St. Mark's Square, a cruise ship passes, one of hundreds everyyear that appear over their medieval ( 中世纪的 ) surroundings. Their massive wakecreates waves at the bottom of the sea, weakening the foundations of the centuries-old buildings themselves. "Every time I see a cruise ship, I feel sad,"Chigi says. "You see the mud it drags; the destruction it leaves in its wake?That hurts the ancient wooden poles holding up the city underwater. One daywe'll see Venice break down."F)For a time, UNESCO, the cultural wing of the United Nations, seemed to agree.Two years ago, it put Italy on notice, saying the government was not protectingVenice. UNESCO considers the entire city a World Heritage Site, a great honorthat means Venice, at the cultural level, belongs to all of the world's people. In2014, UNESCO gave Italy two years to manage Venice's flourishing tourism orthe city would be placed on another list—World Heritage In Danger, joining suchsites as Aleppo and Palmyra, destroyed by the war in Syria.G) Venice's deadline passed with barely a murmur (嘟哝) this summer, just as UNESCO was meeting in Istanbul. Only one representative, Jad Tabet fromLebanon, tried to raise the issue. "For several years, the situation of heritage inVenice has been worsening, and it has now reached a dramatic situation," Tabettold UNESCO. "We have to act quickly — there is not a moment to waste." H) But UNESCO didn't even hold a vote. "It's been postponed until 2017," says AnnaSomers, the founder and CEO of The Art Newspaper and the former head ofVenice in Peril, a group devoted to restoring Venetian art. She says the mainreason the U.N. cultural organization didn't vote to declare Venice a World HeritageSite In Danger is because UNESCO has become "intensely politicized. Therewould have been some back-room negotiations."I)Italy boasts more UNESCO World Heritage Sites than any other country in theworld, granting it considerable power and influence within the organization. Theformer head of the UNESCO World Heritage Centre, which oversees heritagesites, is Francesco Bandarin, a Venetian who now serves as UNESCO'sassistant director-general for culture.J) Earlier this year, Italy signed an accord with UNESCO to establish a task forceof police art detectives and archaeologists (考古学家) to protect cultural heritage from natural disasters and terror groups, such as ISIS. The accord underlinedItaly's global reputation as a good steward of art and culture.K) But adding Venice to the UNESCO endangered list—which is dominated by sites in developing and conflict-ridden countries—would be an international embarrassment, and could even hurt Italy's profitable tourism industry. TheItalian Culture Ministry says it is unaware of any government efforts to pressure UNESCO. As for the organization itself, it declined a request for an interview. L)The city's current mayor, Luigi Brugnaro, has ridiculed UNESCO and told it tomind its own business, while continuing to support the cruise ship industry,which employs 5,000 Venice residents.M)As for Venetians, they're beyond frustrated and hoping for a solution soon."It's a nightmare for me. Some situations are really difficult with tourists around,"says Giorgio as he navigates around a swelling crowd at the Rialto Bridge."There are just so many of them. They never know where they are going, and donot walk in an orderly manner. Navigating the streets can beexhausting."N)Then it hits him: This crowd isn't made up of tourists. They're Venetians.Giorgio says he's never experienced the Rialto Bridge this way in all his 22 years."For once, we are the ones who are blocking the traffic," he says delightedly. "Itfeels unreal. It feels like we're some form of endangered species. It's just nice.The feeling is just pure." But, he worries, if tourism isn't managed and his fellowlocals continue to move to the mainland, his generation might be the last whocan call themselves native Venetians.36.The passing cruise ships will undermine the foundations of theancient buildings in Venice.37.The Italian government has just reached an agreement with UNESCOto take measures to protect its cultural heritage.38.The heritage situation in Venice has been deteriorating in the past few years.39.The decrease in the number of permanent residents in Venice is mainly due40.If tourism gets out of control, native Venetians may desert thecity altogether one day.41.UNESCO urged the Italian government to undertake its responsibility toprotect Venice.42.The participants in the Venetian march used shopping carts to show theywere 100% local residents.43.Ignoring UNESCO's warning, the mayor of Venice maintains his support ofthe city's tourism industry.44.One woman says that for decades the Italian government and localauthorities have only focused on the revenues from tourism.45.UNESCO has not yet decided to put Venice on the list of World Heritage SitesIn Danger.Section CDirections:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed bysome questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are fourchoices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice andmark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line throughthe centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 and 50 are based on the following passage.Living in an urban area with green spaces has a long-lasting positive impact onpeople's mental well-being, a study has suggested. UK researchers foundmoving to a green space had a sustained positive effect, unlike pay rises orpromotions, which only provided a short-term boost. Co-author Mathew White,from the University of Exeter, UK, explained that the study showed people livingin greener urban areas were displaying fewer signs of depression or anxiety."There could be a number of reasons," he said, "for example, people do manythings to make themselves happier: they strive for promotion or pay rises, orthey get married.

Today I invite you to join me in an exploration of the causes of depression. There are many factors involved, but I believe some deserve special attention.Heredity certainly plays a role. The tendency to develop depression may be inherited; there is evidence that this disorder may run in families.Physiology is another factor related to depression. There may be changes or imbalances in chemicals which transmit information in the brain, called neurotransmitters. Many modern antidepressant drugs attempt to increase levels of certain neurotransmitters so as to increase brain communication. While the causal relationship is unclear, it is known that antidepressant medications do relieve certain symptoms of depression.Researchers also study psychological factors. They include the complex development of one's personality and how one has learned to cope with external environmental factors, such as stress. It is frequently observed that low self-esteem and self-defeating thinking are connected with depression. While it is not clear which is the cause and which is the effect, it is known that sufferers who are able to make corrections to their thinking patterns can show improved mood and self-esteem.Another factor causing depression is one's early experiences. Events such as the death of a parent, the divorce of the parents, neglect, chronic illness, and severe physical abuse can increase the likelihood of depression later in life.Some present experiences may also lead to depression. Job loss, financial difficulties, long periods of unemployment, the loss of a spouse or other family member, or other painful events may trigger depression. Long-term stress at home, work, or school can also be involved.It is worth noting that those living with someone suffering from depression experience increased anxiety, which adds to the possibility of their also becoming depressed.Keys: (1)families (2)chemicals (3)information (4) certain symptoms(5)self-esteem (6)thinking patterns (7)mood (8)divorce (9)physical abuse (10)financial difficulties (11)stress (12)anxietyTask 3 happiness indexAustralians were the happiest people in the world according to a survey undertaken by two market researchers. They conducteddoor-to-door surveys and interviews with nearly 30,000 people in 30countries. They asked respondents how satisfied they were with their overall quality of life. Forty-six percent of Australians proclaimed to be "very happy" and expressed optimism about their future. Following them in the "very happy" group was theUSA (40 percent), Egypt (36 percent), India (34 percent) and the UK and Canada (32 percent). Hungary got the wooden spoon, finishing bottom of the happiness chart. Thirty-five percent of its citizens said they were either "disappointed" or "very unhappy", followed by Russians at 30 percent.The research demonstrated that money and age were key determinants in how happy people are. Although the study did not indicate money could buy happiness, it did reveal a link between a lack of money and unhappiness. Less happy populations were found among lower-income groups or the unemployed.The study also suggested that on the whole, the older we become, the less happy we are. Globally, teenagers are the happiest people. The age group with the lowest levels of happiness was 50-59. Only 16 percent of those in their 50s said they were very happy.The factors that make us happy include good health, financial security and a happy marriage. Material comforts such as cars, clothes and gadgets ranked comparatively low.翻译：根据一项由两家市场研究人员进行的调查显示，澳大利亚人是世界上最幸福的人。

His first job at the studio was writing captions （脚本） for silent movies. Within two years, he was writing scripts（剧本） and working as an assistant director. For the rest of the 1920s, Hitchcock worked on one film after another in Britain and Germany. Filming was often arough-and-ready（匆忙做成的） affair and the assistant directormissing, Hitchcock became a cameraman. A scene needed rewriting, Hitchcock rewrote it. Someone needed to be in charge of money when the film crew was on location, Hitchcock looked after the money.At the same time, this being the era of silent movies, Hitchcock was learning the language of cinema: telling a story －not through dialogue, but through visual images（视觉影象）. This led to his success later.When he began to direct his own films, first in Britain and later in Hollywood, he was determined to make films that held the audience's attention and kept tension（紧张感）. He succeeded. Hitchcock's ability to put you on the edge of your seat makes him one of the greatest makers of suspense（悬念） movies.（以下为试题题干）(1) [判断题]※Alfred Hitchcock's first job at the studio was writing captions for silent movies.(2) [判断题]※According to the context, "step in and plug gaps" (in Line 3, Para. 2) means asking for one's help.(3) [判断题]※Telling a story through dialogue prepared Hitchcock for his success later.(4) [判断题]※He was determined to draw the audience's attention and keep tension in his film-making.(5) [判断题]※He had taken up different jobs before he succeeded.。
新世纪大学英语综合教程4第四册unit2_Technology_and_Happiness
The most important impact of technology on people’s sense of well-being is in the field of health care.
◆ Part 5 (Para. 11)
People in general claim that on a deeper level, technology cannot bring happiness to them, which is just contradictory to the fact that it has greatly improved people’s health and life expectancy.
Para 1
In the 20th century, Americans, Europeans, and East Asians enjoyed material and technological advances that were unimaginable in previous eras. In the United States, for instance, gross domestic product per capita tripled from 1950 to 2000. Life expectancy soared. The boom in productivity after World War II made goods better and cheaper at the same time. Things that were once luxuries, such as jet travel and long-distance phone calls, became necessities. And even though Americans seemed to work extraordinarily hard, their pursuit of entertainment turned media and leisure into multibillion-dollar industries .

他穿的短袜是从妈妈的红⾊长袜上剪下来的。
他的妈妈⼀度被诊断为精神失常。
狄更斯或许能创作出查理·卓别林的童年故事， 但只有查理·卓别林才能塑造出了不起的喜剧⾓⾊“流浪汉”，这个使其创作者声名永驻的⾐衫褴褛的⼩⼈物。
就卓别林⽽⾔，其他国家，如法国、意⼤利、西班⽛，甚⾄⽇本，都⽐他的出⽣地给予了他更多的掌声(和更多的收益)。
在1913年，卓别林永久地离开了英国，与⼀些演员⼀起启程到美国进⾏舞台喜剧表演。
在那⾥，他被星探招募到好莱坞喜剧⽚之王麦克·塞纳特的旗下⼯作。
令⼈遗憾的是，20世纪⼆、三⼗年代的很多英国⼈认为卓别林的“流浪汉”多少有点“粗俗”。
中产阶级当然这样认为。
劳动阶层反倒更有可能为这样⼀个反抗权势的⾓⾊拍⼿喝彩：他以顽⽪的⼩拐杖使绊⼦，或⽤⽪靴后跟对准权势者肥⼤的臀部踢⼀下。
尽管如此，卓别林的滑稽乞丐形象并不那么像英国⼈，甚⾄也不像劳动阶级的⼈。
英国流浪者并不留⼩胡⼦，也不穿肥⼤的裤⼦或燕尾服：欧洲的领导⼈和意⼤利的侍者才那样穿戴。
另外，“流浪汉”瞟着漂亮⼥孩的眼神也有些粗俗，被英国观众认为不太正派──只有外国⼈才那样，不是吗? ⽽在卓别林⼤半的银幕⽣涯中，银幕上的他是不出声的，也就⽆从证明他是英国⼈。
事实上，当卓别林再也⽆法抵制有声电影，不得不为他的“流浪汉”寻找“合适的声⾳”时，他确实很头疼。
他尽可能地推迟那⼀天的到来：在 1936 的《摩登时代》⾥，他第⼀次在影⽚⾥发声唱歌。
在⽚中，他扮演⼀名侍者，满⼝胡⾔乱语，听起来不像任何国家的语⾔。
后来他说，他想象中的“流浪汉”是⼀位受过⼤学教育，但已经没落的绅⼠。

2020年大学英语四级考试真题及解析(第二套)
2020年大学英语四级考试真题及解析（第二套）一、PartⅠWriting(30minutes)1.Directions:For this part,you are allowed30minutes to write an essay on the use of PowerPoint(PPT)in class.You can start your essay with the sentence“The use of PowerPoint is becoming increasingly popular in class”.You should write at least120words but no more than180words.输入答案内容...【答案】【参考范文】In recent years,using PPT is becoming increasingly prevalent among teachers while having classes.PPT can present knowledge in a clearer way, which will be more convenient for students to digest.And for teachers, PPT also rescues them from writing on the blackboard,which is sometimes a heavy work.Besides,PPT can be saved and copied for students to review after class.But for people who prefer the traditional class,they think PPT can never replace the blackboard.As when having class with PPT,students have less time taking notes.Meanwhile,some teachers say preparing PPT is very time-consuming and not efficient at all.From what has been discussed above,PPT does have strengths and weaknesses.But I believe it brings so much convenience for us that we can ignore the few weakness it has.And when using it,we can still take the blackboard as an aid so as to present the class in the best way.【审题构思】本次考查的话题“PowerPoint”贴近于生活，让考生就课堂使用PPT的现象，发表自己的看法。

新编大学英语4（第二版）课文翻译及课后答案详解
课内阅读参考译文及课后习题答案(Book 4)Unit 1享受幽默—什么东西令人开怀？1 听了一个有趣的故事会发笑、很开心，古今中外都一样。
这一现象或许同语言本身一样悠久。
那么，到底是什么东西会使一个故事或笑话让人感到滑稽可笑的呢？2 我是第一次辨识出幽默便喜欢上它的人，因此我曾试图跟学生议论和探讨幽默。
这些学生文化差异很大，有来自拉丁美洲的，也有来自中国的。
我还认真地思考过一些滑稽有趣的故事。
这么做完全是出于自己的喜好。
3 为什么听我讲完一个笑话后，班上有些学生会笑得前仰后合，而其他学生看上去就像刚听我读了天气预报一样呢？显然，有些人对幽默比别人更敏感。
而且，我们也发现有的人很善于讲笑话，而有的人要想说一点有趣的事却要费好大的劲。
我们都听人说过这样的话：“我喜欢笑话，但我讲不好，也总是记不住。
”有些人比别人更有幽默感，就像有些人更具有音乐、数学之类的才能一样。
一个真正风趣的人在任何场合都有笑话可讲，而且讲了一个笑话，就会从他记忆里引出一连串的笑话。
一个缺乏幽默感的人不可能成为一群人中最受欢迎的人。
一个真正有幽默感的人不仅受人喜爱，而且在任何聚会上也往往是人们注意的焦点。
这么说是有道理的。
4 甚至有些动物也具有幽默感。
我岳母从前经常来我们家，并能住上很长一段时间。
通常她不喜欢狗，但却很喜欢布利茨恩—我们养过的一条拉布拉多母猎犬。
而且，她们的这种喜欢是相互的。
布利茨恩在很小的时候就常常戏弄外祖母，当外祖母坐在起居室里她最喜欢的那张舒适的椅子上时，布利茨恩就故意把她卧室里的一只拖鞋叼到起居室，并在外祖母刚好够不到的地方蹦来跳去，一直逗到外祖母忍不住站起来去拿那只拖鞋。
外祖母从椅子上一起来，布利茨恩就迅速跳上那椅子，从它那闪亮的棕色眼睛里掠过一丝拉布拉多式的微笑，无疑是在说：“啊哈，你又上了我的当。
”5 典型的笑话或幽默故事由明显的三部分构成。
第一部分是铺垫（即背景），接下来是主干部分（即故事情节），随后便是妙语（即一个出人意料或令人惊讶的结尾）。

【考核技能】综合能力【答案解析】26. M) provide。
根据上下文判断，本空在句中作谓语动词，并与后半句的 and most older people do not feel_____ 构成并列关系，故前后时态应一致，均为一般现在时。
选项中的动词有： A) abandoned（抛弃）；B) advanced（前进）； F) dampens（抑制，减弱）； K) grant（授予，满足）； M) provide（提供）。
其中，M)provide 符合语法和大意。
本句意为：成年的孩子们会尽可能地为年迈的父母提供每一点关心和支持。
27. A) abandoned。
本空位于感官动词 feel 之后，故应选择形容词，选项中的形容词有： A) abandoned （被抛弃的）； B) advanced（先进的）； I) frequent（频繁的，时常的）； C) biased（有偏见的）；G) dependent（依赖的）； H) distant（疏远的）。

Crude oil, or petroleum – a dark, thick ooze from the earth – had been known for hundreds of years. But little use had ever been madeof it. In the 1850’s Samuel M. Kier, a manufactur er in the western Pennsylvania, began collecting the oil from local seepages andrefining it into kerosene, Refining, like smelting, is a process of removing impurities from a raw material.Kerosene was used to light lamps. It was a cheap substitute for whale oil, which was becoming harder to get. Soon there was a large demand for kerosene. People began to search for new supplies of petroleum.The first oil well was drilled by E. L. Drake, a retired railroad conductor. In 1859 he began drilling in Titusville, Pennsylvania. The whole venture seemed so impractical and foolish that onlookers called it “Drake’s Folly”. But when he had drilled down about 70 feet (21 meters), Drake struck oil. His well began to yield 20 barrels ofcrude oil a day.News of Drake’s success brought oil prospectors to the scene. By the early 1860’s these wildcatters were drilling for “black gold” all over western Pennsylvania. The boom rivaled the California gold rush of 1848 in its excitement and Wild West atmosphere. And it brought far more wealth to the prospectors than any gold rush.Crude oil could be refined into many products. For some years kerosene continued to be the principal one. It was sold in grocerystores and door-to-door. In the 1880’s refiners learned how to make other petroleum products such as waxes and lubricating oils. Petroleum was not then used to make gasoline or heating oil.(1).Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Oil Refining: A Historical PerspectiveB. The California Gold Rush: Get Rich QuicklyC. Private Property: Trespassers Will Be ProsecutedD. Kerosene Lamps: Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted(2).It can be inferred from the passage that Kerosene was preferable to whale oil because whale oil was too ________.A. expensiveB. thickC. hotD.polluted(3).Why does the author mention the California gold rush?A. to explain the need for an increased supply of goldB. toindicate the extent of United States mineral wealth C. to describethe mood when oil was first discovered D. to argue that gold was more valuable than oil(4).The word “one” in the second sentence of the last paragraph could best be replaced by which of the following words?A. oilB. doorC. storeD. product(5).The author mentions all of the following as possible products of crude oil EXCEPTA. waxB. gasolineC. KeroseneD. plastic答案：一、单项选择题（80分，共 40 题，每小题 2 分）1. C2. D3. D4. C5. A6. A7. A8. D9. B 10. C 11. C 12. A 13. A14. A 15. C 16. B 17. B 18. D 19. B 20. C 21. C 22. C 23. A 24. A 25.C 26. A 27.D 28. B 29.
