题目分析:

小题1:句意:他答应他的女儿买一个新的ipad。本题考核“现在完成时的否定句”,即:在助动词have或has后面加上not即可,所以本题答案为hasn’t promised。

小题2:句意:从我们家到人民广场开车需一个半小时。本题考核“划线部分提问”,其关键在于“理解划线部分意思”和“确定问什么”,然后关注原句的时态等形式。本题划线部分的意思为“一个半小时的驾车路程”,所以问的是“路程”,即:How far(多远),所以本题答案为How far。

小题3:句意:我们在1970年设立地球日是为了让人们来保护地球。本题考核“主动语态变成被动语态”,其关键在于找对“动词”(set up建立),然后关注原来句子的时态(1970年是一般过去时),根据被动语态动词的要求,将set up变成was/were set up(被建立),最后根据被动语态的主语的单复数形式确定最终答案,即:was set。

小题4:句意:在春天和一些朋友一起去看花展很有趣。本题考核“感叹句”。一般可以利用句子主语和谓语前有无名词来判断用what还是how。本题主语和谓语it is前有名词fun(乐趣),而且需关注其是一个不可数名词,所以只能用 what,再根据原句,what后面跟上形容词great,即答案为What great(What great fun it is多么有乐趣啊!)。本题最关键的是搞清fun是名词(不可数名词),而funny是形容词(滑稽的)。

小题5:句意:在这个国际机场许多航班因为大雪不得不延误。本题考核“单词释义”,关键是学生理解delay为“延迟、推迟”之意。与词组put off意思相同。另外,句子中的动词是被动语态,而put的过去式过去分词相同,所以本题答案为put off。

小题6:句意:我们问丹尼,“本周末你会和我们一起去骑单车或者在家看电视吗?”本题考核“宾语从句”,其关键点有三,即:确定引导词,语序还原和时态一致。原句是一个一般疑问句,因此连接词为if或whether,然后语序还原和时态一致后,将will改成would,即本题的答案为 if/whether, would。

小题7:本题考核“连词成句”,其关键点是根据“意群”来决定句子的意思。本题首先应该考虑because(原因状语从句),然后确定“我不抱怨”因为“满意我的工作”。因为thinks是第三人称单数,所以是“我的老板认为”,然后确定“我不抱怨”和“我对我的工作很满意”,所以答案为My boss thinks I don’t complain because I am pleased with my job.另外,还需关注句首的大写问题和句末的标点符号等细节。

单项选择题

For me, scientific knowledge is divided into mathematical sciences, natural sciences or sciences dealing with the natural world (physical and biological sciences), and sciences dealing with mankind (psychology, sociology, all the sciences of cultural achievements, every kind of historical knowledge).

Apart from these sciences is philosophy, about which we will talk later. In the first place, all this is pure or theoretical knowledge, sought only for the purpose of understanding, in order to fulfill the need to understand that is intrinsic and con-substantial to man. What distinguishes man from animals is that he knows and needs to know. If man did not know that the world existed, and that the world was of a certain kind, that he was in the world and that he himself was of a certain kind, he wouldn’t be man. The technical aspects or applications of knowledge are equally necessary for man and are of the greatest importance, because they also contribute to defining him as man and permit him to pursue a life increasingly more truly human.

But even while enjoying the results of technical progress, man must defend the primacy and autonomy of pure knowledge. Knowledge sought directly for its practical applications will have immediate and foreseeable success, but not the kind of important result whose revolutionary scope is for the most part unforeseen, except by the imagination of the Utopians. Let me recall a well-known example. If the Greek mathematicians had not applied themselves to the investigation of conic section zealously and without the least suspicion that it might someday be useful, it would not have been possible centuries later to navigate far from shore. The first men to study the nature of electricity could not imagine that their experiments, carried on because o mere intellectual curiosity, would eventually lead to modern electrical technology, without which we can scarcely conceive o contemporary life.

Pure knowledge is valuable for its own sake, because the human spirit cannot resign itself to ignorance. But, in addition, it is the foundation for practical results that would not have been reached if this knowledge had not been sought disinterestedly.

The author mentions electrical technology in paragraph 3 most probably to()

A. confirm its importance in the modern world

B. show the powerful influence of its inventions

C. verify the usefulness of theoretical knowledge

D. give an example of success in practical science
