61、 24-27CABA 28-31 CBCD 32-35 DBDC 36-40 EAGDF第三部分 完形填空41-45BCBCB 46-50 BCADC 51-55ADDCB 56-60ACBBD解析：41.考查对下文的理解。单看此空,四个选项均可。但从下文的All great discoveries可知B为正确答案。42.考查习惯搭配。catch ones attention意为“引起某人注意”。这正符合文章的意思,以至于作者在图书馆查找有关的信息,说明这条新闻引起了作者的注意。43.考查对句型结构的理解。这里用动名词形式作原因状语,相当于Because I was.44.考查常识和推理。前文

62、新闻中说到2530岁是发明创造的年龄,但作者不同意。当然是没有人愿意认为自己超过了发明创造的年龄,这是人之常情。45.考查对上文的理解。作者不同意新闻中提到的年龄界限,当然是去查人们的年龄了。从下文也可得到印证。46.考查对上文的理解。从第一个空可推断出。47.此句指的是伽利略做的两个物体同时落地的著名实验。当然是指不同重量的物体了。48.考查习惯搭配的区别。lead to意为“通向,导致”; mean to意为“打算”;stick to意为“坚持”;refer to意为“谈论,提及”。根据句意只有led符合语境。49.考査逻辑判断。从文章来看作者已经举了不少例子来说明发明创造的最佳年龄了,即

63、“足够说明问题了”,从下一句也可看出,不再继续举例了。50.从空格后的if (是否)可知应选择带有疑问语气的动词,可排除A、B两项。比较C、D,显然C项是正确答案。51.考查逻辑理解。从此句中的Yet得知语气已经转折。前面讲在科学方面发明创造的年龄在2530岁是最佳的,下文就论述其他领域的情况了,当然是other fields,从12空前的叙述也可推知答案。52.考查常识理解。下文讲的都是政治家,故只能指政治领域方面。53.考查语境理解。这一空格指代的内容为前一句,用does代替,这里指一般情况。54.考查句意理解。从下文的丘吉尔26岁进入下议院知应是“开始”他们的政治生涯。再以林肯为例,进一

64、步说明这些人开始他们政治生涯的年龄。55.考查逻辑推断。这是一个and连接的并列谓语的句子,显然前后两种职务是不能兼职的,即指林肯gave up 律师职业,进人政界。56.考査对句型结构的理解。根据句子结构知只有 A、C项可在这里构成特殊疑问句,再结合上文意思知只有 A项正确。57.考査对语境的理解。空格显然是一插人语,各项均可,但从意思上看,只有I guess即丨think最适当,因为这里只是发表作者个人的感慨而已。58.考查常识和推理判断。众所周知,要出成果,必须要有所创新。这里take risks与try new ways是平行的,而且19空后的内容也有暗示。59.考查对语境的理解。意指

65、毕加索90岁仍在尝试新的绘画方式。60.考查对词义和句意的理解。结合全文内容知作者认为自己过了 2530岁这一发明创造的最佳年龄了,有些悲观。但从莎士比亚和毕加索在30岁之后还出成绩来看,作者感觉到还是有“希望”的。wish多作“愿望”讲,不合文意。语法填空1.5分一题，共15分61. with 62. surprising 63. were doing 64. their 65. what 66. to give67 chatting 68. thankful 69. that 70. happily第四部分：写作第一节：改错题1、 begin改成begun 2、wait改成waiting
