1．(2011年福州三中检测)I don’t think his reason for being late makes ________.
A．use B．sense
C．value D．cause
解析：选B。考查make构成的短语的区别。句意：我认为他迟到的理由没有道理。make sense在这里是“有道理，讲得通”。
2．(2011年青岛
高二检测)The teacher didn’t explain the problem clearly，so many students were ________.
A．confusing B．mixing
C．confused D．mixed
解析：选C。confused感到困惑的。而mixed意为“混杂的”不合题意。

A．bring in B．break out
C．result from D．lead to
解析：选D。break out爆发，相当于不及物动词；result from后接原因，意为“由……引起”；lead to意为“导致，造成(后果)”符合题意，故选D。
4．(2011年湖州高二检测)The power station ________last year is a big one.
A．having been built B．built
C．being built D．to be built
解析：选B。考查过去分词作定语。The power station与build之间为被动关系，句中时间状语也暗示了应用过去分词形式作定语。注意having been built不用作定语。
5．(2011年河南实验高二检测)Only in this way ________to get there ahead of time.
A．you can hope B．you did hope
C．can you hope D．did you hope
解析：选C。句意：只有通过这种你才有希望提前到达那里。only修饰状语放在句首，主句要部分倒装，所以选C。B、D两项时态与句意不符。
6．A small but ________ crowd cheered as the players ran onto the field.
A．energetic B．enthusiastic
C．enjoyable D．encouraged
解析：选B。考查形容词的辨析。句意：运动员们进入场地时，虽少却热情的人群欢呼起来。energetic精力旺盛的；enjoyable令人愉快的；encouraged深受鼓舞的，都不合题意。

A．in addition to B．as well as
C．in addition D．apart from
解析：选D。本题考查介词短语的意义和用法。根据题干语境意义，尤其是wonderful一词，可以推断讲话者只喜欢这件生日礼物，in addition to和as well as一样，表示并列关系，不符合题干意义；而in addition意为“另外”，后不接宾语，且不符合题意；apart from意为“除……之外”。
8．Franklin’s ability to learn from observations and experience________greatly to his success in public life.
A．owed B．contributed
C．attached D．related
解析：选B。句意：富兰克林通过观察和经验的有助于他的。“owe...to...”表示“把……归于……”，应该是“Franklin owed his success in public life to his ability to learn from observations and experience.”；attach...to...表示“把……附属在……”；related是形容词，而句中缺少谓语动词，因此不恰当。
9．—How do you________we go to Beijing for our holidays?
—I think we’d better fly there.It’s much more comfortable.
A．insist B．want
C．suppose D．suggest
解析：选D。根据答语可知，此处应选择suggest，意为“建议”。
10．Our students ought to ________our share to the coming college students’ sports meeting in our city.
A．contribute B．construct
C．instruct D．introduce
解析：选A。考查动词词义辨析。contribute意为“奉献，贡献”。句意：我们应该为即将在我市举办的生运动会奉献自己的力量。而construct意为“建设”；instruct意为“指导”；introduce意为“介绍”，都不符合句子语境意义。

Ⅴ.阅读理解
Researchers at Oregon State University(OSU)have made important progress in work that should lead toward robots that can not only walk and run very well，but use little energy at the same time.
Studies are moving closer to designing robots that could do dangerous work，create prosthetic limbs(假肢)for humans that work much better than in the past，or even help some people who use wheelchairs to get“walking”abilities.
“Researchers have been working toward robot movement for a long time，”said Jonathan Hurst，a professor at OSU.“What we’ve done is to study what behavior is really possible for a robot.”
The movement of humans and other animals is difficult to copy.Using little energy，they can move easily over hard areas，and enjoy balance from muscles(肌肉)．They have different ways to deal with forces，such as holding something hard in place rigidly(牢牢地)，like the act of holding a cup of coffee level during a car ride.In their recent studies，the OSU researchers proved that these two_abilities are mutually exclusive(相互排斥的)．Humans deal with this problem by using pairs of muscles.For a robot，the more it’s able to do one of these tasks，the less able it is to do the other.
Presently，robots that can walk and run must be as rigid as possible while walking.But this way uses a lot of energy.The OSU researchers are working toward something that has similar or better performance，but uses far less energy，and is closer to the abilities of animals.
“So there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be able to build robots with good movement ability，”Hurst said.“Clearly this might be useful in highly dangerous situations.But I could also see great improvements possible with prosthetic limbs that work much better than present technology.”
【解题导语】 如何使机器人不但能够走得好跑得好，而且还消耗较少的能量，这是摆在科学家面前的一个大问题。Oregon State University的研究者们正对此进行研究。
1．The robots being studied by researchers at OSU________.
A．are successful now
B．use little energy
C．do better than before
D．can run faster than humans
解析：选C。细节理解题。文章第一段指出，Oregon State University的研究者们所研究的机器人仍然处于研究阶段，文章只是表明取得了很大的进步。因此，对于其性能怎么样还很难确定。故答案选C。
2．Which of the following have researchers been studying all the time?
A．The robots’ movement.
B．The robots’ weight.
C．The robots’ sizes.
D．The robots’ walking speed.
解析：选A。细节理解题。根据文章第三段的What we’ve done is to study what behavior is really possible for a robot可知，研究者们一直在研究机器人可以做哪些动作。故答案选A。
3．The underlined words“two abilities”in Para.4 refer to________.
A．walking and running
B．walking and holding
C．moving and using little energy
D．moving and balancing
解析：选D。词义猜测题。根据文章第四段的Using little energy，they can move easily over hard areas，and enjoy balance from muscles.可知，人类和动物在运动时能够保持身体平衡，因此，后面提到的这两项能力就是指的这两项。故答案选D。
4．According to Jonathan Hurst，we know that robots with good movement ability________.
A．can be used in medical science
B．are only used in highly dangerous situations
C．will hardly be created in the future
D．will have a bad influence on man
解析：选A。推理判断题。根据文章最后一段Jonathan Hurst所说的话，很长时间以来，制造出这样的机器人不是不可能，它们将有助于高危险区作业，也可用于假肢方面(医学)。故答案选A。
5．Which section of a newspaper is this passage probably taken from?
A．Business. B．Science.
C．Environment. D．Advertisement.
解析：选B。文章出处题。该文介绍了Oregon State University的研究者们对机器人的最新研究，因此该文最有可能从与科学相关的栏目中摘选，故选B。
