　　三、閱讀理解

　　With rising gas prices，it’s no wonder the search for gasoline alternatives(替代品)has suddenly taken on a new urgency.One of the laboratories—a high school in Brooklyn—is where students are using cooking oil to run their experimental engine.And as Education reporter Art McFarland discovered，it appears to be working.

　　Students at Automotive High School have taken a gas alternative lesson a step further.They have perfected a project that runs this car’s engine，with used cooking oil.

　　Lamar Taylor，“I think it’s a great project because it’s better for the environment.”

　　Vehicles that run on alternative fuels are part of a cutting edge technology.The Automotive High Project began after a diesel-powered Mercedes was donated to the school two years ago.

　　Thomas Cassino，mechanics teacher，“The original diesel engine...was actually produced to run on vegetable oil and whale oil.”

　　The oil running the engine was collected from the school cafeteria and from restaurants，then placed into a converter，which heats it up while the engine starts using the diesel fuel.With the flip(輕擊)of a switch，the engine is cooking with oil，though collecting it can have drawbacks.

　　Melissa Silberman，principal，“Once they started running the car，they didn’t want to eat in the cafeteria any-more because what the French fries(炸薯條)were cooked in weren’t so attractive if it can run a car.”

　　And it has its advantages.Curtis Giscombe，student，“It smells like the back of McDonalds...It smells like French fries.”

　　The students are not likely to influence the more widespread use of alternative fuels，but if the day comes when lots more cars are running on cooking oil，the students will be prepared to service them.

　　1．What would be the best title for the text?

　　A．The Future Alternative to Gasoline

　　B．Rising Gas Prices Drive Experimental Engine

　　C．Cooking Oil Finds Its New Uses

　　D．Students Use Cooking Oil to Power an Engine

　　2．The importance of using cooking oil to run engines is that it can ______.

　　A．protect the environment

　　B． save the gas

　　C．offer cars good smell

　　D．bring down the gas price

　　3．According to the seventh paragraph，______.

　　A．the car is full of French fries

　　B．the car makes people eat nothing

　　C．the car makes people not want to eat in the cafeteria

　　D．the car is a moving cafeteria

　　4．About the future of the car running on cooking oil，we know that ______.

　　A．the day for cars widely using cooking oil is long to come

　　B．it will have a great effect on the oil market

　　C．the students may build a service company soon

　　D．no one wants to use cooking oil for their cars

　　答案：B

　　3．解析：句意：一些人認為隨著越來越多的人們家里有了電視，他們買書籍和報紙就會越來越少。根據句子結構和句意可知，that從句本身為一個復合句，as引導狀語從句，由more and more可知，其后也應用比較級形成對比。

　　答案：D

　　4．解析：首先listen to＋賓語＋do sth./doing sth./done，所以排除A、B兩項。另外，remark on評論。

　　答案：C

　　6．解析：intended to相當于which was intended to...。

　　答案：C

　　7．解析：句意：許多作家豐富的生活經歷十分有助于他們創作上的成功。owe to“歸功于”；apply to“應用于”；distribute to“分給”；contribute to有助于。

　　答案：D

　　8．解析：be aware of “知道；明白”。若選B項，應改為acquainted with。因為本句空前有was，所以C、D兩項放在此處不恰當。

　　答案：A

　　9．解析：考查hold動詞短語。hold back“阻止；退縮”；hold up“延遲”；hold out“堅持”；hold down“控制”。句意：在山中迷路的男孩設法堅持了四天，直到救援到來。

　　二、完形填空

　　解題導語：作者通過自己經歷的一件事情告訴我們，在生活中，奇跡無處不在，奇跡就在我們選擇發現奇跡的地方。

　　1．解析：下文告訴我們，老太太患的是癌癥，而不是受了傷，由此可見，這位老太太是因為上顎痛才來看病的。

　　答案：B

　　2．解析：句意：“我告訴我的牙醫這沒什么，但是他卻堅持讓我來看看。”由第二段中的I found a large cancer that spread over most of the __4__ of her mouth.可以看出，她的病情很嚴重，所以應該是她的私人醫生堅持要她來，因此要選擇insist“堅決主張”，后面從句要用虛擬語氣。declare“宣布”；suspect“懷疑”；promise“承諾”。

　　答案：D

　　3．解析：陪同老太太來的是她80歲的兒子，他試圖補充點什么，但被老太太給阻止了。這里attempt to do sth.相當于try to do sth.意思是“試圖做某事(但沒有成功)”。而manage to do sth.意思是“成功做成某事”；refuse to do sth.意思是“拒絕做某事”；continue to do sth.意思是“繼續做某事”，顯然都不符合語境。

　　答案：C

　　4．解析：上文提到，老太太感覺上顎(upper jaw)有點痛，所以應該選擇roof,14空所在的句子也有暗示。roof在此處的意思是“牙床，上顎”。corner“角落，區域”；bottom“底部”；surface“表面”。

　　答案：A

　　5．解析：confirm“確認”。句意：后來的細致檢查確認這是一種特別嚴重的癌癥。convince“(使)信服，說服”；consider“考慮”；conclude“推斷，得出結論”。

　　答案：A

　　6．解析：由5空后的a particularly bad sort of cancer可以看出，在下次來看病時，我向她解釋了病情的嚴重性(seriousness)。possibility“可能性”；importance“重要性”；resolution“決心，解決”。

　　答案：C

　　7．解析：由語境可知，老太太一直以為自己身體很健康，所以要選fine，意思是：(身體)好的。下文的“I’m just fine，honey”也是暗示。
