Jumanji is a story for children about a very strange game - a game that becomes far too real and frightening for the players. It was a story by Chris Van Allsburg, which was later filmed in 1996, starring the famous American actor Robin Williams.

The story begins in 1869 in New Hampshire, America. Two young brothers bury a box under some trees. A hundred years later, in 1969, a boy, Alan Panish, finds the box and takes it home. He’s unhappy that his father may want to send him to a boarding school (寄宿学校). Alan's friend Sarah arrives, and they open the box. Inside is a board game. At the start of the game, some words appear: “Do you want to leave the world behind and go back to the past? Then this is the game for you.” Suddenly Alan finds that he is disappearing into the game.

The story has a deep meaning. Through his adventures Alan learns something important - if you confront(面对) your fears, your problems will go away. Alan turns to face Van Pelt, the hunter who is trying to kill him. In doing so, he completes the game and returns to reality. Then he finds that his father is not going to send him to boarding school after all.

In Jumanji, time is “elastic”. The film director Stephen Spielberg’s “Back to the Future” films play with time in the same way. Top scientists even tell us now that time travel is theoretically(理论上) possible!

acted in the film?

[A] Robin Williams.

[B] Stephen Spielberg.

[C] Chris Van Allsburg.

[D] Van Pelt.

the story we learn that Alan is a boy who ____.

[A] is afraid of his father

[B] dislikes his study at school

[C] was bom a hundred years ago

[D] goes back to the past in the game

ugh the game Alan has realized that whenever he has difficulties he should ____.

[A] face them directly

[B] ask for his father’s advice

[C] read the words on the box

[D] escape into the past

does the author mean by saying “time is ‘elastic’” in the last paragraph?

[A] Science can change the meaning of time.

[B] Time is a common topic in filmmaking.

[C] One can travel in space.

[D] One can travel in time.

Parents might say “honesty is the best policy,” but when it comes to talking with their own children, mom and dad lie surprisingly often, finds a new study carried out by researchers in the University of Toronto, Canada.

Almost every parent in the study admits having come up with some tales to influence a child’s actions and feelings. For example, a parent is annoyed by a child’s crying and says, “The police will come to get you if you don’t stop crying now.” In another example, an uncle has just died and the child is told that he has become a star to watch over the child.

Whether parents lie to benefit themselves or to protect the child, researchers suggest such tall tales could give children mixed messages at a time when they are trying to figure out how to deal with the social world.

Lies could also harm the parent-child relationship. It could even keep children from learning certain rules. “If I am always lying to the child in order to get the child to do X, Y, or Z, then they have never learned why they should do X, Y, or Z.” Heyman, one of the researchers, said.

Heyman also said, “It is common for parents to try out various ways, including lying, to guide a child, but most parents never think about how it will influence their child. I think parents should figure it out in advance what their general beliefs are, so when it comes to the situation you’re working with your beliefs rather than what comes into your head at the moment.”

did the researchers find out in their recent study?

[A] Most parents are strict with their children.

[B] Many parents like to tell police stories.

[C] Few parents believe in honesty.

[D] Parents often lie to children.

do the underlined words “tall tale” in paragraph 3 mean?

[A] a story mixed with lies.

[B] a story based on truth and facts.

[C] a story too long to be interesting.

[D] a story beyond children’s understanding.

rding to the research, how may children be affected by their parents’ lies?

[A] They may fall behind in school.

[B] They may lie to their parents too.

[C] They may get confused about the society.

[D] They may feel they are being overprotected.

’s Heyman’s suggestion for parents?

[A] Teach their children about rules.

[B] Guide their children on sound beliefs.

[C] Influence their children in various ways.

[D] Figure out children’s problems in advance.

When Tom Szaky sees a juice container thrown away, he doesn’t see rubbish; he sees a pencil case. Sweet wrappers (包装纸)? A beautiful kite. But these are not the imaginings of a dreamer. For the 28-year-old CEO of Trenton, New Jersey-based TerraCycle, they’re a business model.

The fast-talking Szaky is leading the new industry of upcycling. Instead of recycling (shredding or breaking down materials and enabling them to be reproduced as other products), TerraCycle takes packaging headed for landfills (垃圾填埋) and reuses it - more or less whole. TerraCycle’s 85 employees make nearly 200 products, sold at shops such as Petco, Kmart, Whole Foods Market, and Target.

Szaky’s $7.4 million company, now also moving ahead in Mexico, Canada, the United Kingdom and Brazil is a far cry from the business he founded with classmate Jon Beyer in 2002 as a freshman at Princeton University. The two entered a business competition with a plan to sell an organic plant fertilizer () made from worm waste. They lost the competition but started the business anyway.

With their goal - to make products entirely out of rubbish - suddenly clear, Szaky knew the time was right to drop out of Princeton.

TerraCycle’s first product used dining-hall waste to feed the worms and thrown-away bottles to package the fertilizer. The result: a cheap, green breakthrough. Word spread, and in 2004, Home Depot began carrying the fertilizer in its Canadian stores.

To Szaky, waste does not exist in nature. TerraCycle is a “second chance” employer of, say, a piece of furniture, an ice-cream container. As Szaky points out: “The biggest problem with most green, fair-trade, and organic products is that they tend to cost more. At TerraCycle, everything is made from rubbish, and rubbish is free. People should be able to protect the planet without having to pay a cost for that right.”

is Tom Szaky?

[A] A student at Princeton University.

[B] The manager of a food company.

[C] An employee of Home Depot.

[D] CEO of TerraCycle.

do we know about the new industry of upcycling?

[A] It puts waste materials directly into new use.

[B] It promotes completely natural foods.

[C] It buries waste materials in landfills.

[D] It makes organic plant fertilizer.

did Szaky get the idea of upcy cling?

[A] From his visits to foreign companies.

[B] From his studies at Princeton University.

[C] Through shopping at big stores in America.

[D] Through the experience of a business competition.

is the advantage of upcy cling according to Szaky?

[A] The cost is kept low.

[B] The product is free.

[C] The product has a longer life.

[D] More materials are available

A pure virus (病毒) could be kept in a bottle, just like hundreds of other chemicals. Yet, when a virus is placed on a living thing, it comes to life. As long as it is on a living material, it grows.

A difficult question still remains - what is a virus? Is it living or chemical? Men of science had always thought life and not-life to be as different as black and white. With the discovery of the virus, they became aware of a grey area that was neither black nor white.

Until the 1930’s, it was accepted that there was also a great difference in size between the largest chemical molecules (分子) and the smallest living things. As new and much finer filters (过滤器) were invented, men were able to measure viruses. The first virus to be measured was found to be about 100 millimicrons (毫微米) across.

The largest known chemical molecule measures only 22 millimicrons. The smallest living thing measures almost seven times that size or 150 millimicrons. When viruses were measured, they were found to range in size from 16 millimicrons to 300 millimicrons. Most were found to be larger than the largest chemical molecules and smaller than the smallest living things.

The answer to the puzzle - what is a virus? - must be that it is both living and not living. In a living cell, it is a live thing. In a bottle, it is nothing more than a chemical. We now realize that the virus is actually a link between life and not-life.

is this text mainly about?

[A] How viruses should be understood.

[B] The effect viruses have on living things.

[C] How filters are used in studying viruses.

[D] The researches scientists do with viruses.

makes a virus come to life?

[A] A large chemical molecule.

[B] A dead chemical.

[C] An active virus.

[D] A living cell.

do the underlined words “a grey area” in paragraph 2 refer to?

[A] The discovery of unknown chemicals.

[B] Viruses in a state of living and not living.

[C] A difficult question unsolved about viruses.

[D] The colour of viruses between black and white.

h of the following is the smallest in size?

[A] Viruses.

[B] New filters.

[C] Living cells.

[D] Chemical molecules.

我很幸运，现在貌似很缺高中老师。我申请了三所学校，他们都给提供了职位。(offer sb. sth.;offer sth. to sb.，注意和provide区分开)

M: That’s great. Which one did you like?

好极了，你选了那个?

W: I haven’t decided yet. Of course, it will be easiest for me to stay here in New York or go back home to Boston, but I may go to California.

我还没决定，当然，对我来说呆在纽约这里或是回波斯顿都很容易，但是我回去加利福尼亚。

M: That will be a big move.

那将是一个重大的决定。

W: So tell me about your plans?

给我讲讲你的计划吧?

M: Well, I applied to six newspapers. Last week, I had an interview with New York Times.

好吧，我申请了六家报社，上周去纽约时报面试了。

W: How did it go?

情况如何?

M: Not so well. I think they are looking for people with some experience.

不是很好，我觉得他们想要的是有经验的。

W: Have you had any other interviews?

你还面试其他了么?

M: No, not yet. It seems that everyone wants to be a writer these days. There just aren’t many jobs out there.

没有，好像如今人人都想成为作家。但是没有那么多的职位。

W: That’s too bad.

太糟了。

M: Yes, I had a hope to have a job lined up by graduation. That doesn’t seem likely now.

嗯，我本希望毕业时有一大堆子工作等着我呢，可是现在看来不可能了。

W: What will you do if you can’t find a job?

你如果找不到工作打算干什么呢?

M: In that case, I’ll begin working on the master’s degree in the fall.

要真是那样的话，我会在秋天开始攻读硕士学位。

W: Good luck.

祝你好运。

Now one more thing to add about students, safety before we start today’s college tour. The university offers two programs called Safe Walk and College Alone programs. The Safe Walk program is to make sure that students get where they need to go late at night with officer on duty to safe guard them, whether back from the bar or from a late night study-group. The College Alone program gives students who are working alone at night peace of mind. Once a student calls the office, her position is recorded as is her time to leave the place and where she is about to go. Students are provided with a number they can call Campus Safety Office 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. And 12 college pay phones are also connected to the office, no money needed. Here we're trying our best, so that your children are safe when attending the university.

在今天我们开始大学之旅之前，我还有一件事儿要对学生们说。学校给我们提供了两项计划，Safe Walk 和College Alone。Safe Walk 计划是为了确保学生们可以晚上去他们想要去的地方，无论是从酒吧还是晚间学习小组回来，都有执勤工作人员保卫他们。College Alone计划是为那些晚上独自学习的学生提供安宁的环境。一旦有学生给办公室打电话，她的位置所在、离开的时间以及所要去的地方都会被记录下来。学生会得到一个电话号，可以随时给学校治安办公室打电话。而且学校内12个投币式公用电话无需投币也都会接到办公室。在此我们将尽全力来保证您的孩子在学校的安全。

答案：

21-25 BACCA　　26-30 BACBD　31-35 CDABC

21. 选B【must】，该题考查情态动词。

句意是：Sandy花了那么多钱买辆旧车肯定是疯了。

should表示一定，必须(用在客观情况下);must表示一定，必须(用在主观情况下);can一般表示某人能够做某事;will表示将来会做某事。根据句意，选B。

22. 选A【the; a】，该题考查冠词。

句意是：我会在隔壁房间，你如果需要任何帮助的话可以给我打电话。

第一个空格中填入the，因为空白处后面的名词短语next room(隔壁房间)是说话双方都知道的，表示特指。后一个空格与其两边的词为固定搭配，give sb. a call “给某人打电话”，故选A。

23. 选C【keeping】，该题考查非谓语动词。

句意是：Ella总是抱怨马路上噪音很大，晚上睡不着觉。

该句主语是Ella，谓语是has been complaining about，宾语是the traffic，由此判断空白处所需填的词是非谓语形式，所以排除A【keep】，又因为空白处和前面的名词the traffic之间的关系为主动关系——交通产生的噪音使他晚上睡不着，故选keeping。to keep和kept虽然都属于非谓语动词，但是前者为动词不定式，表示将来要发生的事，后者为过去分词，表示被动关系或已完成的动作，此外，现在分词-ing除了表示主动，还可以表示正在进行的事。

24. 选C【another】，该题考查不定代词。

句意为：Frank是个很好的老师，每个人都觉得很难再找到像他那样的了。

other可作形容词或代词，作形容词时，意思是“别的，其他”。the other指“两个人或物中的一个”，一般出现在one ... the other ...这样的固定搭配中。others是other的复数形式，泛指“另外几个，其余的”。another指“总数为三个以上中任意的另一个”，表示泛指。根据题意，这里代指的是另一个人，是泛指，故选C。

25. 选A【particular】，该题考查形容词词义辨析。

句意为：Maggie对茶很挑剔，手提袋中经常会随身携带她最喜欢的茶。

be particular about ...对……很挑剔;be curious about ... 对……好奇;be anxious about ...对……紧张;be certain about ...对……很确定。根据句意，选A。

26. 选B【have got】，该题考查时态。

句意为：我们需要一辆新车，我们现在的那辆太旧了。

were getting是过去进行时，表示过去(某一时刻或某一段时间)正在进行的动作;have got是现在完成时，表示过去发生或已经完成的动作对现在造成的影响或结果;had got是过去完成时，表示在过去某一时间或动作之前已经发生或完成了动作，过去的过去;will get是一般将来时。根据题意，我们得到那辆车是已经完成的动作，对于现在的我们来说太旧了，故选B。

27. 选A【still】，该题考查副词词义辨析。

句意为：警察仍在试图找到事故发生的真正原因。

still表示“仍然”;yet意为“还，仍然”，常用于疑问句和否定句;soon表示“不久”;even意为“甚至”。根据句意，故选A。

28. 选C【You must be joking!】，该题考查口语表达。

句意为：——蛋糕很美味，你自己做的么?——别开玩笑了，我姐姐从蛋糕店买的。

Really?意为“真的吗?”，表达对某事件的惊讶，不敢相信;Of course.意为“当然啦”;You must be joking!意思是“你肯定是在开玩笑吧。”表示对他人的话不同意。You are welcome.意为“不用谢”。根据句意选C。

29. 选B【when】，该题考查连词。

句意为：门铃响时，妈妈正在和Lisa打电话。

while表示“当…时”，一般连接的两个动作同时发生，且多同时用进行时态;when表示“当…时”，它和while的区别在于一般不强调使用进行时态;since表示“自从”，或者“因为”，一般用于完成时态;as可以表示“因为”或者“尽管”。故根据句意选B。

30. 选D【the second half of】，该题考查固定的表达。

句意为：许多伟大的发明都出现在19世纪后半叶。

second修饰half，应该放在half前，“…的一半”的用法是“the half of ...”，综合起来，顺序应为the second half of。

31. 选C【against】，该题考查介词。

句意为：尽管有违父愿，Joan还是把房子卖了。

beyond“超过”;within“在……内”;against“背对，违背”;from“从…而来”。根据句意故选C。

32. 选D【to be taken】，该题考查非谓语。

句意为：我希望有个专业的导游带着我游览所有的景点。

hope to do something为固定搭配，表示“希望做某事”，take和主语I之间的关系为被动关系且句末还有表被动的标志词“by”，故选D。

33. 选A【have been seeing】，该题考查时态。

句意为：Ralph和Celia自从搬到同一个城市后就常见面。

since是完成时态的标志，A是现在完成进行时，表示某一动作从过去持续到现在并有可能持续下去;B是过去进行时，表示过去(某一时刻或某一段时间)正在进行的动作;had seen是过去完成时，表示在过去某一时间或动作之前已经发生或完成了动作，过去的过去;saw是一般过去式。根据句意选A。

句意为：在去老师办公室的路上，我走得很慢，心里琢磨她为什么要跟我谈话。

which表示“哪个”;why表示“为什么”;where表示“在哪里”;who表示“谁”。根据句意，故选B。

35. 选C【in order】，该题考查的是介词短语语义辨析

句意为：列出你所要做的，并按照重要性的顺序排列出来。

答案：

36-40 DBCDB 　41-45 CABCB

46-50 CBDCD 　51-55 ACBAB

41. 选C【come】，句意是：然后他转身很快就消失了，跟他来的时候一样快。

said是say的过去式“说”;expect期望;come来;write写。根据句意选C。

42. 选A【hand】，句意是：商人看见他手里有一张五十万的支票。

hand手;eye眼睛;pocket口袋;bag包。根据句意，应该是支票在手中，所以选A。

参考译文

“尤曼吉”(又称“勇敢者的游戏”)是一个供儿童阅读的故事，它描述的是一个神奇的游戏——真实性很强，甚至对玩家来说有点吓人的游.戏。故事是由克里斯•范•奥尔斯伯格撰写，1996年时还被改编成电影，并由著名美国影星罗宾•威廉姆斯出演。 故事开始于1869年美国的新罕布什尔州，一对小兄弟在树下埋了一个盒子。一百年以后，也就是1969年，一个叫艾伦•帕里什的小男孩找到了这个盒子并把它带回了家。当时，他正在因为爸爸要把他送到寄宿学校而不开心。艾伦的朋友萨拉来了，之后，他们就一起打开了这个盒子，发现里面有一个棋盘游戏。当游戏开始的时候，出现了几行字：“你想离开这个世界回到过去吗?这就是专属于你的游戏。”突然，艾伦发现自己消失在游戏里。 这个故事有更深层的意义。通过这次冒险旅程，艾伦学到了一些重要的道理——如果你可以面对自己的恐惧，那么问题就会解决。因此，艾伦选择勇敢面对一个试图杀害他的猎手范•佩尔特。最后，艾伦完成了游戏，回到了现实中。后来，他发现爸爸根本就没有打算把他送去寄宿学校。 在“尤曼吉”这个故事中，时间是有弹性的。导演史蒂芬•斯皮尔伯格的电影“回到未来”中以同样的方式处理了时间。顶尖的科学家甚至告诉我们时间旅行在理论上是行得通的!

56. 选A。题目问的是“谁出演的这部电影”。属于细节题。

由第一段最后一句话“which was later filmed in 1996, starring the famous American actor Robin Williams”可知，选A。

补充：做该题时要注意两点：一是 题干中的关键词film，由此定位到文中;二是 对该题的出处句中的star这个动词的理解，该处star的意为“由……主演”。

57. 选D。题目问的是“从故事中我们得知，Alan是个____的男孩”。属于细节题。

第二段最后两句“At the start of the game, ...... disappearing into the game.”说的是：“当游戏开始的时候，出现了几行字：“你想离开这个世界回到过去吗?这就是专属于你的游戏。”突然，艾伦发现自己消失在游戏里。”，这里的disappearing into the game说的就是他leave the world behind and go back to the past, 离开了这个世界回到过去，由此可以得知选D。

58. 选A，题目问的是“通过这个游戏，Alan意识到无论他遇到什么困难，他都应该____”。该题属于细节题。

从第三段中第二句“Through his adventure ... if you confront your fears, your problems will go away.”可以得知，解决问题的最好办法就是勇敢面对它。故选A。

补充：该题还涉及到同义替换，选项中的face ... directly其实就是文中的'confront之意。阅读理解中涉及到的选项一般不会把文中的原句一字不差地给列出，而是会进行某些同义转述，所以考生在备考中一定要注重词汇积累这个基。

59. 选D。题目问的是“最后一段中作者所说的'time is elastic'是什么意思”。属于推理题。

上文中说人们在游戏里可以穿越到过去，最后一句中科学家说时间旅行其实理论上是可行的，由此可以推断出这里的elastic原意虽表示“具有弹性的”，但实际上意指人们可以时间旅行。故选D。

参考译文

父母可能会说“诚实是最好的品质”，但是一旦跟自己孩子交谈时，父母就会惊人地经常撒谎。这是加拿大多伦多大学的研究者们最近一项研究的结果。

在此项研究中，几乎每个父母都承认自己为了影响孩子的言行举止，曾编过某些故事。比如，当孩子总是哭，家长感觉很烦的时候，就会说你再哭，警察马上就来捕逮你了。”再比如，一个孩子的叔叔去世了，父母会告诉孩子，叔叔变成了一颗星星在天上守护着他。

研究者表示，不管父母撒谎的初衷是为了有利于自己还是保护孩子，这样含着谎言的故事会在孩子试图了解这个世界的时候，给他们传递出一些混杂的信息。

不仅如此，谎言也可能伤害亲子关系，甚至不利于孩子学习一些准则。一位名为赫曼的研究者说：“如果我总是用欺骗的方法让孩子去做一些事情，这样的话，他们就永远不知道他们为什么要这么做。”

赫曼也提到，对于父母来说，为了引导孩子，可以采取很多种方法，包括说谎。但是大多数父母从未想过谎言会对孩子产生什么样的影响。我觉得父母应该提前想清楚自己普遍信奉的原则，因此，一旦遇到类似的情况，你就会用你信奉的原财而不是一时冲动去处理问题。

60. 选D。题目问的是“最近的研究发现什么?”。该题属于细节题。

第一段说的就是一项研究发现，即，父母在和孩子们说话中经常会说谎，故选D。

补充：一般文中，but后面出现的句子信息是我们所要重点关注的;finds a new study ...其实是主谓倒装结构，主语是a new study，谓语是finds，宾语是前面but引出的句子，即研究结果。

61. 选A。题目问的是“第三段中的tall tales指的是什么?”。该题属于推理题。

一般，such如果出现在某一名词前，那么该名词往往回指的是上文中的一些情况，所以要想知道tall tales之意，要看看上文。上文提到了一些父母跟孩子谈话中所涉及到的谎言例子，而且根据下文中所说的“could give children mixed messages at a time when they are trying to figure out how to deal with the social world.”都可以推断出tall tales指的就是那些混杂着谎言的故事。

62. 选C。题目问的是“根据研究，父母的谎言会对孩子产生什么影响”。该题属于推理题。

第三段提到“such tall tales could give children mixed messages at a time when they are trying to figure out how to deal with the social world.”，由此可推理出，父母的谎言会影响孩子们对于社会的理解，故选C。

63. 选B。题目问的是“Heyman对父母的建议是什么”。该题属于细节题。

最后一段提到Heyman说的一段话，其中“I think parents should...”一句就是对父母的建议，由此可知他认为父母应该提前想清楚自己普遍信奉的原则，因此，一旦遇到类似的情况，你就会用你信奉的原则而不是一时冲动去处理问题。故选B(Guide their children on sound beliefs.在合理的信奉的原则之上引导孩子。)

参考译文

在汤姆•萨奇的眼中，一个扔掉的果汁盒不是垃圾，而是一个铅笔盒，漂亮的包装纸，美丽的风筝。但是这些并非是梦想家的想象。对于位于新泽西的特林顿公司28岁的CEO来说，这些都是商业模型。

萨奇语速很快，他引领了升级改造新产业潮流。特林顿公司并不从事回收业，即将物质粉碎：或者打破之后重新制成别的产品，它是把即将被当做垃圾填埋的包装进行重新利用，可能是整个或者是部分的利用。公司85个雇员制　作近两百种产品，在美国宠物用品连锁超市、凯马特、全食超市、塔吉特等地出售。

萨奇拥有的这个价值740万美金的公司现在正在开拓墨西哥、加拿大、英国和巴西的市场。比起萨奇在2002年刚上普林斯顿大学时和同班同学乔恩•拜尔一起建立的那个小生意相较，确实今非昔比。那时，两人参加了一个商业比赛，计划是卖从虫子排泄物中制作出的有机肥料，尽管比赛失利，但是此项生意却由此开始了。

他们的目标——从垃圾中制作产品——变得清晰了，于是，萨奇觉得是时候从普林斯顿大学辍学了。

特林顿公司的第一件产品是使用餐厅泔水去喂养虫子，用废弃的瓶子包装肥料，这是成本低廉并且环保的突破。通过人们的口口相传，在2004年，美国家得宝公司开始把特林顿公司的肥料引入了其加拿大的店铺。

对于萨奇来说，废品并不是自然存在的物品。特林顿公司是给了某件家具或是某个冰淇淋盒子第二次利用的机会。正如萨奇所言，“最大的问题是，大多数绿色有机产品成本都比较高在特林顿公司，每个产品都是由垃圾制成的，而这些都是免费的。人们应该不需要为保护我们的星球付出任何成本。”

64. D。题目问的是“Tom Szaky是谁?”。属于细节题。

由第一段最后一句“…the 28-year-old CEO of Trenton...”，可知，选D。

65. A。题目问“我们可以了解关于升级改造新产业的什么?”。该题属于推理题。

由第二段第一句可知the new industry of upcycling其实就是TerraCycle该公司。依据接下来的第二句所陈述的“Instead of recycling, TerraCycle takes packaging headed for landfills and reuses it...”，可知，特林顿公司并不从事回收产业，它是把即将被当作垃圾填埋的包装进行重新利用，可能是整个或者是部分的利用。故选A。

66. D。题目问的是“Szaky如何有了从事升级改造产业的灵感?”。该题属于推理题。

根据第三段的内容“ started the business anyway.”可知，萨奇在大学的时候因为参加一个比赛，计划是卖从虫子排泄物中制作出的有机肥料，尝过这种活动，之后就开始从事这方面的商业活动。故选D。

67. A。题目问的是“Szaky认为升级改造产业的优势是什么?”。该题属于推理题。

根据最后一段第三、四句“ biggest that they tend to cost rubbish is free.”可知，产业最大的优势就是原料是免费的，成本相对低廉。故选A。

参考译文

单纯的一个病毒可以像其他很多种化学物质一样被保存在瓶子里。但是，一旦病毒附着在一个生命体上，它也就有了生命。只要被附着的物体活着，它就能生长。

但是，仍然有一个难题——病毒是什么?它是生命体或是化学物质?人类科学总是把有生命和无生命的物体视作是截然相反的两者。随着病毒的发现，他们开始意识到在之前的两者之间还有一个中间的领域，它并不属于任何一方。

直到二十世纪30年代，人们才普遍认识到，最大的化学分子和最小的生物体之间也是有巨大的大小差异的。当发明了新型的更加精细的过滤器之后，人们开始能够测量病毒的大小。第一个被测量出的病毒直径大概是100毫微米。

已知的最大的化学分子直径仅仅是22毫微米，而最小的生物体的尺寸是这个数字的7倍，即将近150毫微米。病毒的测量数据显示，它们的尺寸范围在16到300毫微米之间变化。大多数病毒尺寸介于最大的化学分子和最小的生物体之间。

回到那个问题——病毒是什么?——病毒是有生命的，又是无生命的。在一个有生命的细胞中，病毒就是有生命的;在一个空瓶子里，病毒就跟一个化学物质没什么两样。现在，我们意识到，其实病毒就是生命和非生命的纽带。

68. A。题目问的是“文章大意是什么?”。该题属于主旨题。

先要理顺文章各个段落，第一段是引子，引出了第二段所提的问题“病毒是什么?”，然后一直到最后都是对于这个问题的回答，最后一段又重申了这个问题。因此这篇文章主要是说“病毒是什么?”，即我们应该如何去解读病毒的概念。故选A。

69. D。题目问的是“是什么让一个病毒有了生命?”。该题属于细节题。

由第一段第二句“Yet, when a virus is placed on a living thing it comes to life.”可知当病毒附着在一个生命体上，病毒就是有生命的，故选D。

70. B。题目问的是“第二段中划线词组a grey area指的是什么?”。该题属于推理题。

由第二段可知，科学家们总是把有生命和无生命的物体视作是截然相反的两者。随着病毒的发现，他们开始意识到这两者之间还有一个中间的领域，它并不属于任何一方。由此可推断出这里的a grey area(灰色领域)指的是病毒处于一种生命体与非生命体的中间地带。故选B。

补充：a grey area that was neither black nor white这里的black和white分别指的是前面被视作截然相反的两者-life和not-life。

71. D。题目问的是“以下几个选项中，哪个是尺寸最小的?”。该题属于推理题。

根据倒数第二段最后一句“er than the largest chemical molecules and smaller than the smallest living things.”可知，通过三者的比较，应该是chemical molecules最小。故D为正确答案。

补充：注意这里的largest和smallest作的是定语，分别修饰chemical molecules和living things：最大的chemical molecules，最小的living things，而不是说chemical molecules就是最大，living things就是最小。这一点很具有迷惑性。

这里作比较的三者是：the smallest living things>viruses>the largest chemical molecules

Dear Bob，

You wrote to me saying that you were dreaming of a special weekend away from the noisy city and tedious life.

I am wondering that a day’s tour to the countryside might be a good idea. My recommendation is that I accompany you to Lanshan Village for the weekend and we will be staying at Uncle Zhang’s house. I’ve been there once and was amazed by the beautiful scenery there.

My plan goes like this. We can go for vegetable collection in the field in the morning, which we could breathe fresh air and get a great meal for lunch. Fishing is also fun, which we can go in the afternoon. There is a river near where we live and it only takes us ten minutes on foot. If we are lucky, we could enjoy nice fish for supper. After supper, we can enjoy singing and dancing performed by countrymen.

If you have anything particular in mind, please let me know.

Best wishes.

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming
