【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了英国发明家特雷弗·贝里斯的两项发明。一项是发条式时钟收音机，另一项是用鞋子发电的移动电话，这种收音机和移动电话都不需要使用电池或电流。

【答案精析】

1．B 考查名词辨析。dream“梦想”；problem“问题”；wonder“奇观”；wish“希望”。由第一句的提问和后面的bothered(使烦恼)可以判断出挖空处需要表示“问题”。故选B。

2．A 考查动词辨析。invent“发明”；improve“提高”；borrow“借”；copy“复制”。由前句中的“inventor”可以推断出此处要表示“发明了”。故选A。

3．D 考查固定搭配。由语境可知，此处表示“用手”之意，应用固定搭配by hand。故选D。

4．C 考查副词辨析。then“那么，然后”；slowly“慢慢地”；again“又，再”；

finally“最后”。由上文的“You wind it up”和此处的“You wind it up”可以推断是再

一次重复，所以用again。故选C。

5．B 考查名词辨析。sun“太阳”；shoe“鞋子”；cap“帽子”；wind“风”。由下文中的“shoes contain(含有)a small battery…”可以推断出，此处是指通过鞋子产生能量。故选B。

6．B 考查动词辨析。sleep“睡觉”；walk“步行”；rest“休息”；chat“聊天”。由语境和上下文可知，此处要表达的是“当你走路的时候，就产生电能”。故选B。

7．A 考查名词辨析。communication“交流”；exhibition“展览”；suggestion“建议”；instruction“说明”。由语境和句意可知，此处表示“这两种简单的发明能够带给世界现代化的交流”。故选A。

8．A 考查固定搭配。in fact“事实上”；in order“按次序；井然有序”；in need “需要”；in time“及时”。此处表达“事实上，他高中未毕业就辍学了”。故选A。

9．C 考查动词辨析。buy“买”；sell“卖”；make“制造”；collect“收集”。由语境和句意可知，此处表示“他爱制造东西来帮助人”。故选C。

10．D 考查从属连词辨析。while“当……时候”；because“因为”；unless“除非”；

when“当……时候”。由后句中的“in a dream(一个梦)”可知，此处要表达的是“他从来

都不知道想法什么时候会到来”。故选D。

If asked to recite a poem right now, which one would first come to mind? Most of you may say Jing Ye Si(Thoughts in the Silent Night), written by famous Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai(AD 701－762). As one of the most famous Chinese poems, almost every Chinese kid has learned it at school and can recite it.

Now the famous poem has been put on stamps. To remember World Poetry Day every March 21, the UN issues(发行) a set of six stamps that have six poems in six major languages. In 2015, Jing Ye Si is one of them.

According to the UN, each theme shows a universal truth—the fading of time, forgiveness, longing(渴望), love, wisdom, and nature.

Jing Ye Si is a poem with one of the above themes. It is very short—only 23

characters including the title. But the poem is catchy(易记的) and easy for readers to understand the writer's longing for his home.

Although written more than a thousand years ago, its theme still connects with our feelings today. Chen Bo, 14, from Inner Mongolia is now studying in Guangzhou, a city far from his hometown. “Sometimes when I think of my hometown, I remember this poem，” he said.

Want to know the English version of this poem? Here is a translation by Chinese translators Yang Xianyi and his wife Gladys Yang: “Beside my bed a pool of light—Is it hoarfrost(霜) on the ground? I lift my eyes and see the moon, I bend my head and think of home.” Do you like it?

(C )1.Which poem has almost every Chinese kid learned in the passage? A．Jiang Jin Jiu C．Jing Ye Si

B．Song You Ren D．Wang Lu Shan Pu Bu

(D )2.Why does the UN issue a set of stamps? A．To praise Li Bai.

B．To introduce Chinese culture. C．To show the power of the UN. D．To remember World Poetry Day.

(C )3.Which universal truth does Jing Ye Si show? A．The fading of time C．Longing for home.

B．Forgiveness. D．Wisdom.

(A )4.When does Chen Bo remember Jing Ye Si? A．He thinks of his hometown. B．He can't sleep well.
