21．________ by the growing interest in nature，ore and ore people enjoy outdoor sports.
A．Influenced B．Influencing
C．Having influenced D．To be influenced
解析：選A。考查非謂語動詞。非謂語動詞的解題關(guān)鍵是找準(zhǔn)其邏輯主語。本題中influence的邏輯主語是ore and ore people，他們之間是動賓關(guān)系，所以用過去分詞形式。D項表示將，不符合語意。所以這里選A項。新標(biāo)第一網(wǎng)
22．________ and short of breath，Andy and Ruby were the first to reach the top of ount Tai.
A．To be tired B．Tired
C．Tiring D．Being tired
解析：選B。句中的Tired and short of breath為形容詞短語作狀語，補(bǔ)充說明主語所處的狀態(tài)。又如：Tired and hungry, I arrived at hoe last night.
23．The progra will double the aount of oney ________ to help pay for child care.
A．valuable B．convenient
C．cofortable D．a(chǎn)vailable
解析：選D。考查形容詞。句意為：這些計劃可以使用幫助支付兒童護(hù)理的錢加倍。available表示可以利用的，可以得到的；而valuable表示有價值的；convenient表示方便的；cofortable表示舒適的，所以選擇D。
24．Coe and see e whenever ________.
A．you are convenient
B．you will be convenient
C．it is convenient to you
D．it will be convenient to you
解析：選C。It is convenient to you.是英語中常用的客套語，convenient用于描述情況，而不用于描述人。應(yīng)特別注意排除漢語的干擾，因在漢語中通常說“在你方便的時候”。
25．Forty people got injured in a bus accident.Every ________ abulance was rushed to the scene of the accident.
A．a(chǎn)vailable B．enjoyable
C．suitable D．a(chǎn)cceptable

26．When copying the paper，be careful not to ________ a single word.

28．As soon as they arrived at the park，they ________ theselves into several groups to help the cleaners pick up the rubbish ade by the visitors.
A．separated B．divided
C．fored D．broke
解析：選B。考查動詞意義的辨析。divide強(qiáng)調(diào)將一個整體劃分為若干部分，常與into搭配；而separate強(qiáng)調(diào)把原連在一起或靠近的各個部分隔開，表示“分離；隔離”，常與fro搭配；而for指將零散的人或物“形成、組成團(tuán)體等”；break指將某物“破壞至碎片”。
29．When ________ iported goods，people are ________ about all the different labels on food these days.
A．choosing；confused B．choosing；confusing
C．chosen；frightening D. choosing；frightened
解析：選A。people與choose之間為主動關(guān)系，因此用現(xiàn)在分詞作狀語；be confused about...對……感到困惑。

A．explaining B．to explain
C．explain D．explained

33．We are looking forward to seeing the policy carried out in our province, which has ________ a nuber of people’s attention recently.
A．a(chǎn)ttracted B．preserved
C．expanded D．supported

第二節(jié) 完形(共20小題；每小題1.5分，滿分30分)
閱讀下面短，從短后各題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。

P3 technology has ade this new ethod convenient and popular.usical files which are in P3 for only need about 1/12 of the disk space that uncopressed (未壓縮的) files need，allowing the to be sent faster and stored ore easily.P3 technology is especially welcoed by two groups.First，usicians who are unable to have their usic recorded by the ajor record copanies.They can now record their usic in P3 for and put it on the Internet very cheaply.Second，high school and college students.They can now get P3 copies of ost of the songs of their favorite usicians on the Internet and download the for free.But any of the P3 recordings on the Internet are prepared without the perission of the owners of the copyright (版權(quán))．
【解題導(dǎo)語】 在記錄數(shù)字音頻的幾種形式中，CD出現(xiàn)最早，它對原始資料沒有任何壓縮，因此音質(zhì)最好，但占用存儲空間也最大。隨著科技發(fā)展，對原始資料壓縮的P3就應(yīng)運(yùn)而生了。

63．What is the passage ainly about?
A．The advantages of digital usic.
B．A brief introduction to the developent of usic.

There have been any yths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars soe forty years ago.The following are three of the ost coon.
yth Nuber One：It’s best to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident.
Truth：Sorry，but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear”is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing.And chances are you’ll have traveled through a windshield(擋風(fēng)玻璃) or door to do it.Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twentyfive ties greater in cases where people are “thrown clear”．
yth Nuber Two：Safety belts “trap” people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.
Truth：Sorry again，but studies show that people knocked unconscious due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents.People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free theselves fro such dangerous situation，not to be trapped in the.
yth Nuber Three：Safety belts aren’t needed at speeds of less than 30 iles per hour(ph)．
Truth：When two cars traveling at 30 ph hit each other，an unbelted driver would eet the windshield with a force equal to diving head first into the ground fro a height of 10 eters.

As skies are filled with illions of igrating(遷徙) birds，European scientists say the seasonal wonder appears to be strange：The fatter the bird，the better it flies.
The results of their study led to a theory opposite to a central one of aerodynaics(空氣動力學(xué))，which says that the power needed to fly increases with weight.
For birds，obviously，the cost of flying with heavy fat is uch saller than we used to think.Researchers found that red knot wading birds double their noral body weight of 100 gras before aking their twiceayear nonstop flight between the British Isles and the Russian Arctic.Distance：5,000 kiloeters.
Another study in the agazine Nature easured the advantage of flying in an aerodynaic group which allows birds to save energy by flying soothly and quietly in the lead bird’s air strea.
Flying in groups，their heart rates were 14.5 percent lower than flying alone，according to Henri，a French scientist.The findings help explain how birds coplete difficult igrations.Researchers had thought that thinner，stronger birds would have the best chance to survive.
The first study suggests that building up fat to be burnt as fuel during the igration is worth ore than the energy it takes to carry the additional weight.
In the study，researchers said their tea studied the birds flown at different body weights during 28 siulated(模擬的) flights.They forced a sall aount of special water into the birds’ bodies so that they could easure the aount of energy burnt during the flight.
72．A red knot wading bird of 100 gras will probably weigh ________ before aking its nonstop igrating flight.
A．50 gras B．100 gras
C．150 gras D．200 gras
解析：選D。。根據(jù)第三段中的Researchers found that red knot wading birds double their noral body weight of 100 gras before aking their twiceayear nonstop flight between the British Isles and the Russian Arctic.可計算出在進(jìn)行不停頓的遷徙飛行時，一只red knot wading bird可能重200克。double their noral body weight of 100 gras表示“它們正常體重100克的兩倍”，即200克。
73．During their igrating flight，red knot wading birds can save energy by flying ________.
A．separately B．a(chǎn)lone
C．in groups D．in pairs
解析：選C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第四段中的Another study in the agazine Nature easured the advantage of flying in an aerodynaic group which allows birds to save energy by flying soothly and quietly in the lead bird’s air strea.說明red knot wading birds以一群鳥一起飛行的方式進(jìn)行飛行時能夠節(jié)省能量。
74．A ________ red knot wading bird has a better chance to survive during its igrating flight.
A．stronger B．weaker
C．thinner D．fatter
解析：選D。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第五段中的Researchers had thought that thinner，stronger birds would have the best chance to survive.可以看出，比較肥胖的red knot wading birds在遷徙飛行中更有機(jī)會存活。句子的謂語是虛擬語氣，說明研究者原先認(rèn)為越瘦越強(qiáng)壯的red knot wading birds存活的機(jī)會越大，而實際情況與此相反。
75．The best title for this passage ay probably be ________.
A．Birds Thin Down For Journey
B．Birds Fatten Up For Journey
C．How Birds Build Up Fat For Journey
D．How Birds Burn Energy For Journey
解析：選B。標(biāo)題。這篇短報道了對red knot wading birds遷徙飛行的研究，研究表明因為red knot wading birds在遷徙過程中消耗大量能量，所以比較肥胖的red knot wading birds越有在遷徙飛行中存活的機(jī)會，因此這篇短的題目應(yīng)是：Birds Fatten Up For Journey。
