When David Carter started to study art at The University of Texas （UT）at Austin in 1971，he had big dreams of becoming an artist or a writer.But his study came to a stop at 23 after he hurt his hand in an unpleasant event.He developed schizophrenia（精神分裂症）later and spent many years without a home.
Carter liked to spend time around UT，because he dreamt of being able to continue his study in the university and becoming a writer.After running into Carter many times，UT student Ryan Chandler decided to interview him for a project for the Daily Texan，the student newspaper of UT.
"I interviewed him on Austin's homeless problems.After I heard his story，we kept in touch and really became friends.I learned he wanted to get back to UT，so I decided to help him，" said Chandler. "He had got 87 hours，very close to a degree.Now，with changing degree requirements，he only has 64 hours to go."
With the help of Chandler，who worked with the university office，Carter was assigned an adviser by UT's College of Fine Arts. "It's the greatest gift I've ever received，" Carter said. "He did what had to be done to get me back to school，and I couldn't have done it without him."
After seeing a magazine article about Carter，a UT schoolmate decided to pay his tuition fees（学费）without telling Chandler his name.
Doug Dempster，dean of the College of Fine Arts，said in a statement，"David Carter's decision to complete his degree is a testament（证明） to finishing well what was started，and stopped，even many years earlier.We welcome him back as we do many students each year whose education could not be completed easily.We're going to help him through his remaining course work."
4. Why did Carter stop studying in the university？ ______
A. He hurt an artist. B. He couldn't afford his study.
C. He got a strange disease. D. He had a hand injury.
5. What was Chandler's purpose in interviewing Carter？ ______

D. He suggests other students learn from Carter.

Humans have been living and working on the space station for 20 years.Their meals are packaged,though sometimes astronauts receive fresh treats from resupply missions.The longer that packaged food is stored,the more it loses nutrients like vitamin C and vitamin K.
Astronauts have successfully grown 10 different crops on the space station since 2015 and had the chance to sample each one.The International Space Station hosted a party for astronauts on Friday as they celebrated the harvest of the first Chili（辣椒）grown in space.The crew finally had a chance to taste the peppers after initially the plant experiment on the space station in July.
Plant Habitat-04 is one of the most complex plant experiments on the orbiting laboratory to date because peppers take much longer to grow than the previous experiment plants.After growing for four months,the peppers were harvested on Friday.
Peppers provide a great source of vitamin C，as well as other key nutrients.Pepper plants self-pollinate,so they are easy to grow,and they are a pick-and-eat crop that doesn't have to be cooked.They are also safe to eat raw.
A side effect of life in zero gravity is that astronauts often lose some of their taste and smell,so spicy or well-seasoned foods are a favorite.Adding fresh greens or peppers to the menu allows astronauts to liven up their regular meals.But growing and tending to the plants can also produce other benefits.
Astronauts have described the joy from seeing-as well as smelling and caring for-leafy green plants on the space station that remind them of Earth.
"Growing colorful vegetables in space can have long-term benefits for physical and psychological health," said Matt Romeyn,principal investigator for the experiment." We are discovering that growing plants and vegetables with colors and smells helps to improve astronauts' well-being."
8. What does underlined "kicking off" in the 2nd paragraph mean？ ______
A. Launch. B. Complete. C. Quit. D. Announce.
9. What makes Plant Habitat-04 one of the most complex plant experiments？ ______
A. The technology. B. Growing process.
C. The varieties of plants. D. Growing time required.
10. Why are peppers added to the menu for astronauts？ ______
A. They are delicious. B. They restore their appetite.
C. They help kill diseases. D. They improve their memory.
11. What is the suitable title for the text？ ______
A. The Fun in the Space Life
B. The Common Goal in the Space Mission
C. The First Chili Peppers Grown in Space
D. A Research Finding from the Space Mission
D
Imagine you enter a car with no steering wheel， no brake or accelerator pedals （踏板）. Under a voice-activated command， you say an address. "The fastest route will take us 15.3 minutes. Should I take it？" You say "yes" and you are on your way. The car responds and starts moving all by itself. All you have to do is to sit back and relax.
How strange would it be if， one day in the future， everyone had such a car？ No crazy driving， no quarrels， no cutting in； traffic laws would be respected and driving much safer. On the other hand， imagine the cost savings for local police enforcement （强制执行） and town budgets without all those speeding and parking tickets.
A new technology has the potential to change modern society thoroughly. There's no question that self-driving vehicles could be an enormous benefit. The potential for safer cars means accident statistics would drop： some 94% of road accidents in the U.S. involve human error. Older drivers and visually- or physically-disabled people would gain a new level of freedom. Maintaining safe speeds and being electric， self-driving cars would sharply reduce pollution levels and dependency on non-renewable fuels. Roads would be quieter， people safer.
But we must also consider the impact of the new technology on those who now depend on driving for their living. According to the U.S. Department of Labor， in May 2015 there were 505，560 registered school bus drivers. The American Trucking Association lists approximately 3.5 million professional truck drivers in the U.S. The companies developing self-driving vehicles should be partnering with state and federal authorities to offer retraining for this massive workforce， many of whom will be displaced by the new technology.
New technologies will， and should， be developed. This is how society moves forward. However， progress can't be one-sided. It is necessary for the companies and state agencies involved to consider the moral consequences of these potential changes to build a better future for all.
12. What would be the effect of the wide use of driverless cars？ ______
A. More policemen would inspect the streets.
B. People would never feel angry about the traffic.
C. It would save local governments a lot of money.
D. Traffic regulations would be a thing of the past.
13. How would the elderly and the disabled benefit from driverless cars？ ______
A. They would get rid of air pollution.
B. They could enjoy greater mobility.
C. They would suffer no road accidents.
D. They could go anywhere they want.
14. What would be the negative effect of driverless cars？ ______
A. The conflict between labor and management would sharpen.
B. Many drivers would have to find new ways of earning a living.
C. Drivers would have a hard time adapting to new road conditions.
D. The gap between various departments of society would be widened.
15. What does the author suggest businesses and the government do？ ______
A. Enable everyone to benefit from new technologies.
B. Keep pace with technological developments.
C. Make new technologies affordable to everyone.
D. Popularize the use of new technologies and devices.

41.【答案】【小题1】an
【小题2】attempting
【小题3】Although/Though/While
【小题4】injury
【小题5】be cancelled
【小题6】to
【小题7】energetic
【小题8】gained
【小题9】especially
【小题10】whose
【解析】（1）考查冠词。句意：2006年9月4日，澳大利亚野生动物专家史蒂夫•罗伯特•欧文在拍摄《致命海洋》时遇害。泛指一个，所以用不定冠词，Australian是以元音音素开头的，故填an。
（2）考查现在分词或状语从句的省略。句意：在影片中，他在试图捕捉一条有毒的鱼时受了伤。attempt和句子主语he之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词作状语，也可以认为是状语从句的省略，主句和从句的主语一致，都是he，此处when后面省略了he was，故填attempting。
（3）考查连词。句意：尽管制片方和剧组人员采取了良好的安全措施，现场也有应急小组，但他的伤势太严重，无法救活。引导让步状语从句，表示"尽管"，所以用although/though/while引导，句首单词首字母大写，故填Although/Though/While。
（4）考查不可数名词。句意：尽管制片方和剧组人员采取了良好的安全措施，现场也有应急小组，但他的伤势太严重，无法救活。作主语，所以用名词，表示抽象概念"伤势"，为不可数名词，故填injury。
（5）考查动词语态。句意：事件发生后不久，史蒂夫广受欢迎的电视连续剧《鳄鱼猎人》将被取消，结束了它11年的成功。cancel和句子主语之间是被动关系，所以用被动语态，前面有be going to，所以用动词原形，故填be cancelled。
（6）考查介词。句意：许多同事、自然专家和电影人都把史蒂夫的成功归功于他外向的性格、对工作的热情和对动物世界的热爱。owe sth.to"把某物归功于"，为固定搭配，故填to。
（7）考查形容词。句意：他独特而充满活力的风格使他非常有趣，他的系列在全世界都很受欢迎，尤其是在英国、美国和加拿大。作定语修饰名词，所以用形容词，故填energetic。
（8）考查动词时态。句意：他独特而充满活力的风格使他非常有趣，他的系列在全世界都很受欢迎，尤其是在英国、美国和加拿大。根据前面句子的时态，可知描述过去的事情，所以用一般过去时态，故填gained。
（9）考查副词。句意：他独特而充满活力的风格使他非常有趣，他的系列在全世界都很受欢迎，尤其是在英国、美国和加拿大。修饰介词短语，所以用副词，故填especially。
（10）考查非限制性定语从句。句意：人们将永远记住这位伟大的英雄，他在动物保护方面的努力和贡献确实发挥了作用。先行词为hero，在非限制性定语从句中作定语，故填whose。
这是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了2006年9月4日，澳大利亚野生动物专家史蒂夫•罗伯特•欧文在拍摄《致命海洋》时遇害的情况。
做本题的关键是在理解短文的基础上，灵活运用所学的基础知识。本类型的题目常考到的知识点有：固定的短语，词类的转换，名词的复数形式，副词以及祈使句的用法等。因此，这就需要在平时的学习中，牢固掌握各语言点及一些语法知识。
