Michael Faraday was the son of a blacksmith (铁匠)．There were four children in his family and, with his father often ill and unable to work，Michael Faraday had to earn his living from an early age.This meant little or no schooling.However，the family belonged to a religious group，and Faraday learnt to read and write at Sunday School.
When he was only fourteen，Faraday found a job as a bookbinder (装订工)．He used to read the books he was given to bind and he became very interested in the scientific books，particularly the ones about electricity.His interest soon took a practical path and he began conducting his own experiments.These were very basic because Faraday had to make all of his equipment himself.However，he was very careful and kept a clear written record of all his findings.
One day he was given an entrance ticket to the Royal Institute chemistry lecture，given by Humphry Davy.Determined to work for this great scientist，he sent Davy a job application and included his laboratory reports on the experiments he had carried out.In 1813，Davy offered Faraday a job as one of his laboratory assistants.Faraday learnt quickly and soon was recognized as a very able analytical chemist.Later he went to work at the Royal Institute.
Michael Faraday was, perhaps，the greatest practical scientist of the 19th century.As a chemist，he discovered the benzene (苯)，which is now the focal point of chemical study.He also proved the relationship between electricity and chemical bonding (化学键)．As a physicist，he invented the dynamo，which led to the later invention of the electric motor.He also discovered the effect of magnetism (磁) on light rays.
1．Why did Faraday attend Sunday School?
A．He had to work for a bookbinder at weekdays.
B．He hoped to read many of the scientific books there.
C．He would like to learn religious knowledge.
D．His family couldn’t afford his normal school education.
2．When working as a bookbinder，Faraday________.
A．published his great findings on electricity
B．made his own equipment for his experiments
C．read many books by Humphry Davy
D．gained his fame as a practical scientist
3．In order to get a chance to work for Davy，Faraday ________.
A．bought tickets to attend Davy’s lecture
B．sent his experiment reports to Davy
C．went to the Royal Institute to visit Davy
D．offered to do laboratory work for free
4．We can learn from the last paragraph that________.
A．the electric motor was invented by Faraday
B．electricity was Faraday’s best­known finding
C．Faraday’s research covered different fields
D．Faraday was more a chemist than a physicist

Smoking is one of the worst things kids can do to their bodies. Every single day, about 4,000 kids between the ages of 12 and 17 start smoking. Most junior school students don’t smoke－only about 1 in 10 does. Most senior school students don’t smoke either －about 1 in 4 does.
But why do those who smoke ever begin? There’s more than just one simple answer. Some kids may start
smoking just because they’re curious. Others may like the idea of doing something that grown­ups don’t want them to do. Still others might think smoking is a way to act or smoking makes them look like an adult.
Luckily, fewer people are starting to smoke than a few years ago. Maybe that’s because more and more people have learned that smoking can cause cancer and heart disease. Sometimes kids don’t worry about what future illness they might get.
Nicotine and other poisonous chemicals in tobacco cause lots of diseases, like heart problems and some kinds of cancer. If kids smoke, it will hurt their lungs and hearts each time they light up. It can also make it more difficult for blood to flow in the body, so smokers may feel tired. The longer they smoke, the worse the damage becomes.
The human body is smart, and it knows when it’s being poisoned. When kids try smoking for the first time, they often cough a lot and feel pain or burnt in their throats and lungs. This is their lungs’ way of trying to protect them. Also, many kids say that they feel sick to their stomachs or even throw up(呕吐).

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.”
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
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.
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
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
5．Which section of a newspaper is this passage probably taken from?
A．Business.　　　　　　　B．Science.
C．Environment. D．Advertisement.

The U．S.Postal Service delivers(递送)mail through rain and snow.But people who look forward to receiving mail on Saturdays may soon be disappointed.In order to cut costs，Postmaster General John Potter has suggested reducing mail delivery by one day per week.
From 2008 to 2009，the amount of mail in the United States dropped by nearly 26 billion pieces.The main reasons for the decline(下降)have nothing to do with bad weather or barking dogs.In the Internet age，many people are choosing e­mail over writing letters.They are paying bills online instead of mailing checks(支票)．
The weak economy and serious competition from private carriers，such as FedEx and UPS，have also led to the decline.As a result，the Postal Service lost $3.8 billion last year.On March 2，Potter delivered more bad news：Without major changes，the Postal Service may lose $238 billion over the next 10 years.
Not everyone is for the idea.“Saturday is an important delivery day，”Jason Chaffetz told The Washington Post.Instead of cutting Saturday service，Chaffetz suggests creating postal“holidays”on the slowest delivery days each year.He says that cutting Saturday service will delay(推迟)important deliveries，such as medicines.And people without computers don’t have the choice of paying bills online.
Supporters of the plan say it is a difficult but important step.The Postal Service projects that cutting one day of deliveries per week could save $3.5 billion per year.Many Americans are behind the new postal plan.In a 2009 Gallup Poll,66 percent of people surveyed said they were for reducing delivery from six days to five to help the Postal Service balance its budget(开支)．Some supporters say getting used to a new delivery schedule would not be a problem for most people.They also say that people who need Saturday delivery could use private carriers.
1．The U．S.Postal Service cancels Saturday’s delivery to ________.
A．reduce regular mails
B．cut down expense
C．give carriers enough time to rest
D．improve its service
2．The amount of mail in the US declined from 2008 to 2009 because of all the following EXCEPT ________.
A．bad weather
B．hot competition
C．the poor economy
D．the development of the Internet
3．According to the passage，Jason Chaffetz ________.
A．has no computers at home
B．is complaining about slow delivery of the Postal Service
C．is disappointed about cutting Saturday service
D．insists the Postal Service deliver mail every day
4．We can learn from the last paragraph that ________.
A．reducing delivery from six days to five doesn’t make much difference
B．few Americans are for the new postal plan of the Postal Service
C．few people are willing to use private carriers in the US
D．a lot of people are wishing the Postal Service a good future

Do you know anything about the Nile? It is the longest river in the world and flows about 6,677 km through Eastern Africa from its most remote sources in Burundi to a delta on the Mediterranean Sea in Northeast Egypt. The main headstreams, the Blue Nile and the White Nile, join at Khartoum in Sudan to form the Nile proper. The river has been used for irrigation in Egypt since at least 4000 B. C．， a function now regulated largely by the Aswan High Dam.
The source of the Nile and its life－giving flood were a mystery to the people of the world for centuries. First, Ptolemy held that the source was the “Mountain of the Moon”， and the search for the origin of the Nile attracted much attention of the people in the 18th and 19th centuries.Then James Bruce, the Scottish explorer, went to look for the source and identified Lake Jana as the source of the Blue Nile in 1770. And later, John Spike, the British explorer, went to search for the source of another branch of the Nile. He is credited with the identification of Lake Victoria and Ripon Falls as the source of the White Nile.
Now the people along the Nile love it so much that they are trying all their best to protect it while they make good use of it for agriculture irrigation, industry and their daily life.

The report came to the British on May 21,1941.The German battleship Bismarck，the most powerful warship in the world，was moving out into the Atlantic Ocean.Her task：to destroy the ships carrying supplies from the United States to war­torn England.
The British had feared such a task.No warship they had could match the Bismarck in speed or in firepower.The Bismarck had eight 15­inch guns and 81 smaller guns.She could move at 30 nautical miles(海里)an hour.She was believed to be unsinkable.
However，the British had to sink her.They sent out a task force headed by their best battleship Hood to hunt down the Bismarck.On May 24，the Hood found the Bismarck.
It was a meeting that the German commander Luetjens did not want to see.His orders were to destroy the British ships that were carrying supplies，but to stay away from a fight with British warships.
The battle didn’t last long.The Bismarck’s first torpedo(鱼雷)hit the Hood，which went down taking all but three of her 1,419 men with her.
But in the fight，the Bismarck was slightly damaged.Her commander decided to run for repairs to France，which had at that time been taken by the Germans.The British force followed her.However，because of the Bismarck’s speed and the heavy fog，they lost sight of her.
For two days，every British ship in the Atlantic tried to find the Bismarck，but with no success.Finally，she was sighted by a plane from Ireland.Trying to slow the Bismarck down so that their ships could catch up with her，the British fired at her from the air.The Bismarck was hit.
On the morning of May 27，the last battle was fought.Four British ships fired on the Bismarck，and she was finally sunk.
1．The Bismarck sailed into the Atlantic Ocean ________.
A．to sink the Hood
B．to gain control of France
C．to cut off American supplies to Britain
D．to stop British warships reaching Germany
2．Many people believed that the Bismarck could not be defeated because she ________.
A．was fast and powerful
B．had more men on board
C．was under Luetjens command
D．had bigger guns than other ships
3．We learn from the text that on May 24________.

A group of European researchers from Eindhoven University of Technology(TU/e)are working hard to connect robots with homes.The robots will make sure that homes are nice places to stay and that patients do the right things.
This recently started research project，which has been named KSERA，focuses(关注)on COPD(慢性阻塞性肺病)patients.In 2030 this disease will be the third cause of death worldwide.The disease especially affects the elderly.
In three years’ time several demonstration(示范)houses should be finished，where a robot will play the central role.It follows patients through the house，learns their habits，watches them closely，gives sound advice，turns the air conditioning up or down a bit，and warns a doctor when the patient is not feeling well.Besides，the robot also provides fun in the form of the Internet and videos.“We want to show what is possible in this area，”says project manager Dr.Lydia Meesters.
The TU/e researcher says that this new type of intelligent care house will not be a cold environment.It should be as homely as possible.In an ideal(理想的)situation the only technology you see will be the robot.It will be the contact for all the systems in the homes.
Ethical issues(道德问题)will also be given special focus.The robot must give good advice to patients，but it should not be a policeman，Meesters explains.What to do，for example，when a COPD patient lights a cigarette?
The project will cost almost 4 million euros,2.9 million of which will be provided by the EU.Other parties are the Italian research center Institute Superiore Mario Boella，Vienna University of Technology，Hamburg University，the Italian ICT company Consoft，the Central European Institute of Technology in Vienna and the Israeli care provider Maccabi Healthcare Services.

To call land “marginal” it is not very good. Low quality soil is not the only reason why land could be considered marginal. The land might be in an area where rainfall is limited. Or it might be on a hillside that rises too sharply.
Yet there are uses for marginal land. Most often it is used as grassland. Grasses provide excellent feed for grazing animals (草食动物) like cattle, sheep and goats. A farmer might use native grasses or non­native seed. No matter what way he uses, it is important to establish good ground cover to avoid the loss of soil through erosion(侵蚀)．
But using marginal land for grazing is not as simple as it might sound. There is a risk of overgrazing. Cattle can damage crops by eating down to the roots. Also, the animals crash the soil with their weight. That can make the ground too hard for growing. A way to reduce the damage is to move animals from one field to another. This method is known as rotational(循环的 ) grazing. Agricultural experts say rotational grazing is extremely important for marginal land.
Another use for marginal land is for tree crops. Studies have shown that the loblolly pine ( 火炬松) and white pine are two kinds of trees that grow well on such land. They grow fast and provide good quality wood. And there are slower­growing trees like the black walnut (胡桃) that provide wood as well as a nut crop. Trees help support the soil. They reduce the damaging effects of wind and rain. And they can provide grazing animals with shade from the sun.
Marginal lands need care to protect them. Failing to take that care might only make a bad situation worse. But good planning can turn a marginal resource into a highly productive one.

Ever dreamed of having a robot servant who would do all the boring housework around the house？Well mechanized domestic staff have come one step closer，thanks to an android(机器人)being developed in Japan.
Researchers at Tokyo University’s JSK Robotics Laboratory have created a humanoid called Kojiro，who is learning how to copy how we walk.
What makes him unique is that he has a skeletal(骨骼的)structure similar to that of humans，which means he moves in a more natural fashion，and bends and twists by his artificial spine(脊柱)．
The team，led by Professor Nakanishi，said this newly developed spine would allow them to manufacture lighter and more flexible robots in the future to serve in the home.
In one scientific paper，they wrote：“Now normal humanoid robots are not suitable for working in our daily environment.”Lack of safety and versatility(多用途)is the main reason；their hard and heavy bodies can hurt humans or surrounding objects，and they can do limited tasks compared with what humans do in daily life.
Traditional robots have limbs and torsos(躯干)powered by heavy motors at the joints.However in Kojiro，the motors are lightweight and used to pull cables attached to different locations on the body.This copies how our own muscles and tendons(腱)contract and relax when we move.
The skillful system of around 100 such tendon­muscle structures work together to give Kojiro 60 degrees of freedom.The humanoid is also made mostly from light and flexible materials，which would make him less of a danger around the home.
The researchers found the most difficult challenge was finding a way to make such a skillful robot walk.“The system has strong nonlinearity(非连续性)and is hard to model precisely.To control such a system，a kind of learning method is needed，”the team wrote.
At present the scientists are testing Kojiro’s smaller movements using a games console controller.The team plan to slightly improve the computer algorithms(算法)that control the robot’s movements as they go and hope it will one day be able to handle complex movements using all of its limbs.Then perhaps one day，you will find Kojiro serving you breakfast in bed.

Today, we learn how to prepare dried fish.
First, clean the freshly caught fish. Remove everything inside. Then wash the fish in clean water and rub salt into them.
Next, put the fish in a container with a solution(溶液) of three hundred grams of salt and one liter of water. This will remove the blood from the meat.
Keep the fish in the salt water for about thirty minutes. Then remove them and wash them in clean water. Now, put the fish in a solution that has more salt in the water. It should be salty enough so that the fish float to the top. If the fish sink to the bottom, add more salt to the water in the container.
Cover the container with a clean piece of wood. Hold the wood down with a heavy stone. Leave the fish there for about six hours. After that, remove them from the salt water and place them on a clean surface. Cover the fish with a clean piece of white cloth and let them dry. Don’t let them be too dry or they will not taste good.
Another method of preparing fish is called dry salting. Wooden boxes or baskets are used for dry salting.
After cleaning the fish, put them on the bottom of the box or basket. Cover them with salt. Put more fish on top. Cover them with salt too. Continue putting fish and salt in the container until it is full.
Do not use too much salt when using the dry salting method. You should use one part salt to three parts fish. For example, if you have three kilograms of fish, you should use one kilogram of salt.
Remove the fish after a week or ten days. Wash them in a mixture of water and a small amount of salt and let them dry.

IQUIQUE, Chile (Reuters)— Rescue workers at the San Jose gold and copper mine in northern Chile had reason to sing this week. A small hole drilled into the earth became a passage to freedom for 33 trapped miners, who spent 69 days underground. “Never have people been trapped for so long so deeply，” says a doctor at NASA, the American space agency, which helped in the rescue.
But the chief medical officer for the miners said most are in good enough health to leave the hospital within a day or so. The first three recovered and went home Thursday night.
For much of the day the miners relaxed with Chilean President Sebastian Pinera. The 32 Chileans and I Bolivian still wore special sunglasses to protect their eyes.
A partial mine collapse on 5th August trapped them more than half a kilometer underground. They had to stretch a two­day food supply. For two weeks no one knew if they were alive or dead. Later, they received supplies.
The first miner rescued on Wednesday was Florencio Avalos. The second was Mario Sepulveda, who talked about how the experience tested his faith. The last miner up was Luis Urzua, who was the shift leader when his crew became trapped.
Rescuers used a metal cage to pull the miners to safety in less than 24 hours－faster than expected. The rescue capsule was a half­meter wide and known as the Phoenix, an imaginary bird from ancient stories. It bursts into flames but is continually reborn and rises from the ashes.
Chile’s Navy built the capsule with advice from mining experts and NASA engineers. It worked like an elevator, traveling up and down on a cable through a shaft(竖井)drilled 622 meters into the rocks.
Millions of people around the world watched the rescue. More than one thousand journalists traveled to the mine in the Atacama Desert to report on the rescue. They joined family members of the miners and rescue crews housed in an area of tents known as Camp Hope.
1．What would be the best title for the passage?

Teenagers and students have an average of more than 800 illegally copied songs each on their digital music players，as the largest academic survey of young people’s music ownership has found.
The research also showed that half of 14 to 24­year­olds were happy to share all the music on their hard drives，enabling others to copy hundreds，or thousands，of songs at one time.
Although_illegal_copying_has_become_widespread，the_scale_of_the_problem_uncovered_by_the_University_Hertfordshire_left_the_music_industry_surprised.On average every iPod or digital music player contained 842 illegally copied songs.
Illegal copying in some form or another is undertaken by 96 percent of 18 to 24­year­olds surveyed，and falls to 89 percent of those aged 14～17.Nearly two­thirds copy CDs from friends，and similar proportion shares songs by e­mail and copy all the music held on another person’s hard drive，acquiring up to 10,000 songs in one go.
British Music Rights argues that the solution partly lies in developing new legal services that make breaking copyright unappealing(无吸引力的)．
Mr.Sharkey，chief executive of British Music Rights，said，“The positive message is that 80 percent of downloaders said they would pay for a legal subscription­based(签署协议的)service，and that they would be willing to pay more than a few pounds month.”
British Music Rights refused to release the exact amount but it is believed to be about ￡10 a month.
The organization is trying to help to record companies persuade Internet service providers to sign up to a new type of music service，in which vast catalogues of songs are available for an add­on fee to a broadband package.Agreements with providers such as Virgin Media are expected in the next few weeks.
In France last week，Orange，France Telecom’s mobile arm，reached agreement with all four main record companies to provide downloads of more than a million songs for mobile phones and home computers for ￡9.40 a month.
1．What is the passage main about?
A．The popularity of music among teenagers and college students.
B．A variety of good ways to get music from friends.
C．A practical suggestion to deal with illegal copying.
D．The problems resulting from illegal copied music and possible suggestions.
2．It can be learned from the passage that the research shows ________.
A．illegally copied songs are teenagers’ favorite music
B．teenagers often get music from others without paying
C．teenagers like to exchange their digital music players
D．compared with those aged 14～17,18 to 24­year­olds are more selfless
3．The underlined sentence in the third paragraph implies ________.
A．illegal copying has become a serious problem beyond
expectation
B．the University of Hertfordshire uncovered illegal copying for the first time
C．the development of the music industry is worrying
D．illegal copying has gotten out of control
4．The suggested way to copy with illegal copying in the passage is ________.
A．to punish those who download music illegally
B．to prevent people downloading music from the Internet

A new project will try to protect twenty­one of the world’s most important food crops. This is a joint project of two organizations, the Global Crop Diversity Trust and the United Nations Foundation. It will be the largest such effort ever made.
The aim is to collect seeds or reproductive material from one hundred sixty­five thousand varieties of the crops. The effort will secure more than ninety­five percent of the endangered crop diversity represented in gene banks in developing countries.
The fight against hunger cannot be won without securing crops that are in danger of being lost. Many of the crops are known as “orphan crops ”. Orphan crops do not get much attention from modern plant breeders but are especially important in poor countries.
Some orphan crops cannot be grown from seeds. Instead, cuttings, roots and cell cultures will be gathered from gene banks.
Still another goal is to improve communications between farmers and plant breeders. The organizers say they look forward to a time when breeders in Africa can find the same crop genetic information as those in Europe and North America.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has agreed to provide thirty million dollars for the project. Norway will provide seven and one­half million dollars.
The Global Crop Diversity Trust says at least four hundred fifty thousand seed samples will go into the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. Seeds from around the world will be stored there in case the planet suffers a terrible disaster.

A nosebleed can be frightening to get or see，but try to stay calm.Most nosebleeds look much worse than they really are.Almost all nosebleeds can be treated at home.
If you get a nosebleed，sit down and lean slightly forward.Keeping your head above your heart will make your nose bleed less.Lean forwards so that the blood will flow out of your nose instead of down the back of your throat.If you lean back，you may swallow the blood.This can make you uncomfortable.
Use your thumb and index fingers to press together the soft part of your nose.Keep holding your nose until the bleeding stops.Don’t let go for at least 5 minutes.If it’s still bleeding after that，hold it again for 10 minutes straight.You can also place an ice pack across the toe of your nose.Once the bleeding stops，don’t do anything that may make it start again，such as bending over or blowing your nose.
The most common causes of nosebleeds are dryness(often caused by indoor heat in the winter)and nose picking.These two things work together－nose picking occurs more often when the liquid in the nose is dry.Other，less common causes include injuries，colds or cocaine use.Children may stick small objects up their nose.Old people may have infections or high blood pressure.The cause of nosebleeds is often unknown.
Most nosebleeds aren’t serious.They occur in the front part of the nose and stop in a few minutes.
A few nosebleeds start in large vessels(血管)in the back of the nose，which can be dangerous.They may occur after an injury.This type of nosebleed is more common in the elderly and is often due to high blood pressure，daily aspirin use or bleeding disorders.

3．【解析】选A。reputation意为名誉，名声，符合题意。句意：在与流感抗争的过程中，中国严谨有序的组织赢得了很高的声誉。influence影响，作用；impression印象；knowledge知识。
4．【解析】选B。句意为：——这里的食物不错。——我的朋友介绍给我一个合适的地方。introduce这一动作发生在此次对话之前，故用一般过去时。
5．【解析】选D。句意为：——Samuel，你今天下午有没有空？——视情况而定，我恐怕要看NBA。available“可用的；空闲的”；suitable“适合的”；convenient“便利的；不远的”。convenient用来指“事”，不用来修饰“人”，故其主语通常不是表示“人”的名词或代词。如果表达“如果你方便的话，在你方便的时候”时，要用if/when/whenever it is convenient to/for you。
6．【解析】选C。本题考查主谓一致。由时间状语every Sunday afternoon可判断应用一般现在时，所以排除A、D。在A as well as B＋v.结构中谓语动词与A一致。The father是单数，所以选goes。与as well as有相似用法的词还有including，together with，along with，except，besides等。
7．【解析】选C。clarify意为“使更清晰易懂”，puzzling意为“令人迷惑的”，符合句意。handle处理，应付；express表达；conclude结束，断定；puzzled感到迷惑的。
8．【解析】选A。考查状语从句的省略。complete与the museum之间为动宾关系，completed前省略了it is。
9．【解析】选D。leave out省略；put out伸出，生产，扑灭；take out拿出；bring out出版；阐明。
10．【解析】选D。此题考查“find ＋ n．/pron.＋形容词”句型。句意为：我们多年来合作愉快，我发现与他们合作很值得。it是find的形式宾语，worthwhile是宾语补足语，working with them是真正的宾语。

3．【解析】选C。细节理解题。由第四段中的Saturday is an important delivery day及Instead of cutting Saturday service，Chaffetz suggests creating postal“holidays”on the slowest delivery days each year.可知，Chaffetz认为周六的快递派送非常重要，取消周六的快递派送服务是不合适的。
4．【解析】选D。推理判断题。由最后一段中的66 percent of people surveyed said they were for reducing delivery from six days to five to help the Postal Service balance its budget可以推断，大部分美国人是希望美国邮政服务公司能保持收支平衡，希望它以后能有更好的未来。

1．【解析】选B。本题考查词义辨析。句意：将近10点了，爸爸随时都有可能回来。able有能力的；alike相像的，都不符合语境。possible和likely都可表示“可能”，possible的主语不能是人，故选B。
2．【解析】选C。考查短语辨析。根据语境“我通过了我所参加的最难的一次考试”，我应该高兴。排除B项和D项。而It’s my pleasure意为“很高兴这么做”，常用作Thank you的答语。

7．【解析】选C。解答该题的关键在于要准确把握there be结构及系动词remain的用法。remain在there be结构中作后置定语，由于remain是不及物动词，故应用现在分词remaining，相当于定语从句that remain；动词settle置于remain之后，应用动词不定式的被动结构表示动作还未完成。
8．【解析】选A。本题考查“keep＋宾语＋宾补”表示“使……处于某种状态”。由于eyes与shut之间为动宾关系，故用过去分词形式作宾补。
9．【解析】选C。考查句子的结构。在“It is/seems＋形容词＋that...”结构中，当表示出乎意料、不可思议的情况时，主语从句中的谓语动词用“should＋动词原形”，其中should不可以省略，表示“竟然”的意思。
10．【解析】选B。考查主语从句的关联词。what引导主语从句，作从句的主语，表示“吸引游客的事情”。

1．【解析】选D。主旨大意题。通读全文可知本文主要介绍了非法复制音乐的普遍现象以及解决这一问题的方法。A项超出了本文的主旨范围。B项和C项都只涉及了文章某一方面的内容，太片面。
2．【解析】选B。细节考查题。由文章第一段可知调查发现“teenagers and students”从网上把音乐下载到音乐播放器上后通过硬盘大量免费复制音乐，故选B项。文章只提到teenagers非法复制音乐但没有说“illegally copied songs”是他们最喜欢的音乐，故A项错误；文章只提到teenagers把音乐下载到音乐播放器上但没有提到他们喜欢交换播放器，故C项错误；第四段提到18至24岁的年轻人比14至17岁年轻人分享非法复制音乐的现象更普遍，但不能据此断定他们无私，故D项错误。
3．【解析】选A。细节理解题。由第三段的“On average every iPod or digital music player contained 842 illegally copied songs.”可知非法复制音乐的现象很严重，已超出了人们的想象，故选A项。B项与原文不符；C项曲解了原文，虽然非法复制音乐的现象很严重，但文章没提到已经失控，故D项错误。
4．【解析】选C。细节考查题。根据倒数第二段的“The organization is trying to help the record companies persuade Internet service providers to sign up to a new type of music service，in which vast catalogues of songs are available for an add－on fee to a broadband package.”可知C项正确。A、B项在文中未提及；文中是“make breaking copyright unappealing”而不是“illegal”，D项错误。

8．【解析】选B。句意为：今晚我将请朋友去看歌剧。treat sb. to...“招待某人……”。
9．【解析】选A。考查强调句型的疑问形式。此题干是对强调句型中被强调的地点状语进行提问，因此用Where was it that...？句式。
