本文描述了在冰雪覆盖的路面上开车的经历。文章首句为主题句，概括了这种经历的特点是“令人非常紧张”。第二至四句分别介绍了下雪带来的隐患和机器变得没有多大用处。从第五句到文章最后则描述了在这种不利条件下和大卡车一同行驶的紧张经历。试题精解
1.［精解］ 本题考查短语动词辨析。空格处填入的副词与动词come搭配，其分词形式作后置定语，修饰限定主语the snow。come down指“（雨、雪等）落下，降落”，如咨询QQ、微信：2544906素。戏剧的中心人物——主人公——遭遇困难，他的一个或多个目的与事件或环境发生冲突，与剧中其他人物的目的发生冲突，与存在于他的思想和欲望中相互矛盾的目的发生冲突。这些困难阻碍了主人公目的的完成，换句话说，它们使事件变得复杂，而主人公能否成功地处理这些复杂事件决定了戏剧最终的结局。一般而言，戏剧中的复杂事件是按照其困难的程度逐渐累积起来的。一个困难事件也许累加到另一个困难事件之上，或者在前一个困难事件解决之后出现。在问题复杂化和问题得到解决、实现了目的或企图实现目的构成的链条的某一点上，主人公完成一个行为或者做出一个必然使他进入进一步发展轨迹（造成某些一般结果的点）的决定。这个点通常被称为危机，接下来出现的复杂问题和解决方法构成了从危机到最后解决，即结局的逻辑步骤。Text 3
Vinton Cerf, known as the father of the Internet, said on Wednesday that the Web was outgrowing the planet Earth and the time had come to take the information superhighway to outer space.“The Internet is growing quickly, and we still have a lot of work to do to cover the planet.” Cerf told the first day of the annual conference of Internet Society in Geneva where more than 1500 cyberspace fans have gathered to seek answers to questions about the tangled web of the Internet.Cerf believed that it would soon be possible to send real-time science data on the Internet from a space mission orbiting another planet such as Mars. “There is now an effort under way to design and build an interplanetary Internet. The space research community is coming closer and closer and merging. We think that we will see interplanetary Internet networks that look very much like the ones we use today. We will need interplanetary gateways and there will be protocols to transmit data between these gateways, ” Cerf said.Francois Fluckiger, a scientist attending the conference from the European Particle Physics Laboratory near Geneva, was not entirely convinced, saying: “We need dreams like this. But I don’t know any Martian whom I’d like to communicate with through the Internet.”Cerf has been working with NASA’s Pasadena Jet Propulsion Laboratory—the people behind the recent Mars expedition—to design what he calls an “interplanetary Internet protocol.” He believes that astronauts will want to use the Internet, although special problems remain with interference and delay.“This is quite real. The effort is becoming extraordinarily concrete over the next few months because the next Mars mission is in planning stages now,” Cerf told the conference.“If we use domain names like Earth or Mars...jet propulsion laboratory people would be coming together with people from the Internet community.” He added.“The idea is to take the interplanetary Internet design and make it a part of the infrastructure of the Mars mission.”He later told a news conference that designing this system now would prepare mankind for future technological advances.“The whole idea is to create an architecture so the design works anywhere. I don’t know where we’re going to have to put it but my guess is that we’ll be going out there some time,” Cerf said.“If you think 100 years from now, it is entirely possible that what will be purely research 50 years from now will become commercial 100 years from now. The Internet was the same—it started as pure research but now it is commercialized.”1. According to Cerf, the purpose to design interplanetary internet is to _____.［A］ send real-time science data［B］ communicate with astronauts［C］ lay foundation for future technological advances［D］ commercialize the technology2. From the text, we learn that Vinton Cerf is _____.［A］ seeking answers to questions about the Internet web［B］ working on interplanetary Internet with collaboration of NASA［C］ trying to commercialize the interplanetary Internet［D］ exploring the possibility of establishing Internet network on Mars3. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _____.［A］ the dream to build interplanetary Internet can be fulfilled in the future［B］ interplanetary Internet will be commercialized in 100 years［C］ the research of Internet took 50 years［D］ it will take a long time to build interplanetary Internet4. We know from the text that the Mars mission is _____.［A］ one of NASA’s internet projects［B］ an expedition to Mars［C］ the infrastructure of the interplanetary Internet［D］ to create an architecture on Mars5. Which of the following is the main point of the text?［A］ The development of the Internet.［B］ The possibility of space research.［C］ Universal information superhighway.［D］ The technological advances of the Mars mission.答案

本文主要介绍了星际因特网这一新的研究项目。第一、二段咨询QQ、微信：2544906了，而他的双亲也接受了他对于文学生涯的追求。50．我知道我写不出作为读者的我所喜欢的东西，就像乔伊斯、卡夫卡、曼恩的作品，所以我不再那么关注我所写的东西。总体分析
本文介绍了科幻小说家罗伯特·西尔弗伯格。文章先指出科幻小说的繁荣与市场需求关系紧密，接着通过介绍多产的科幻小说家西尔弗伯格的创作经历予以说明。本文考查的知识点咨询QQ、微信：2544906了，而他的双亲也接受了他对于文学生涯的追求。“很快我变得非常愤世嫉俗。”他说，我先是什么也卖不出，然后什么都卖得出。市场使我不好的性格展现出来。一个下三滥杂志的编辑会打电话告诉我他下一期杂志中缺一万字的文稿，于是我为了150美元的稿酬连夜赶稿。我发现改写后没有什么不一样。我知道我写不出作为读者的我所喜欢的东西，就像乔伊斯、卡夫卡、曼恩的作品，所以我不再那么关注我所写的东西。在我的大学朋友中，我是一个成功的人，一个已出版了作品和正在销售书籍的作者。但他们总是问：“你什么时候写点严肃的作品？”——指的是科幻小说之外的东西——而我总是说，“当我经济上稳妥了以后。”Part A51. Directions:You have stayed with your friend’s family for a month. Now you are going back home. Write a message to your friend’s family to?1) express your gratitude.?2) show your appreciation of the good days you’ve had together.?3) say goodbye.?You should write about 100 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. Do not sig your own name. Use “Li Ming” instead.(10 points)参考范文
I am writing this letter to thank you for the hospitality you gave me during my one-month stay with you.During this period, you managed to make me feel at home with all your consideration and hospitality. Especially, I want to show my gratitude to you for your effort made in adapting to my irregular schedules. I count myself fortunate indeed to have had the opportunity to spend the memorable 30 days with you. Now, I am going back home. I am really reluctant to say good bye to you. With thanks again and best wishes to you. Yours, Li Ming
Part B52.Directions:Enormous changes took place in the last two decades of the 20th century, which is revealed in the changes on dinner tables. Here are two pairs of pictures. You are required to1) describe the pictures,2) interpret the pictures, and3) make a comment upon it.You should write 160—200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2.(20 points)52.一、审题谋篇
本题为图画式作文。四个图画形成了两组对比，一组是横向对比，即农村与城市的对比；一组是纵向对比，即20世纪80年代与2000年以后的对比，因此考生描述图片时应首先想到使用比较论证手法。从比较中可发现，农村和城市居民的饮食结构在20年中都产生了变化，有意思的是，这种变化是城乡饮食结构的一种互换。考生显然不能遗漏这个重要信息，应就此进行分析和发挥。再看指导语可知，文章应以图画展示的内容为主题，（一）描述图画；（二）阐述图画所要表达的含义；（三）发表自己的看法。
二、参考范文一As is shown in the four pictures, there has been great change in Chinese diet since 1980s. Twenty years ago, people in the village always had corn, steam corn buns, sweet potatoes and vegetables as their main food. The urban people were comparatively rich, so they can afford the expensive dishes of rice, meat, eggs and fish daily. Nowadays it seems, to our surprise, the village people and city residents have exchanged their dinner tables.The phenomenon reflects that people’s diet concept is changing while their living standard is progressing. On the one hand, with the improvement of the villagers’ living standard, the proportion of high-nutrition food, such as eggs and meat, has also increased in their diet. On the other hand, as many modern-day diseases, such as hypertension, high levels of blood lipids, and diabetes, are found to be diet-related disorders, the city dwellers have become more health-conscious, and they prefer the low-protein and high-fiber food to high-fat meals.Of course, we can’t judge hastily which eating habit is better, because only a balanced diet can benefit people’s body. However, it is a pleasure to see more and more Chinese people are pursuing a better life by choosing a varied and balanced diet.
