2.Anyone _____________ with what I said may put up your hands.A.who agree B.which agree C.who agrees D.which agrees C解析:C【详解】句意:任何同意我所说的人都可以举手。

被修饰的名词或代词叫先行词,定语从句一般放在先行词的后面。
1.that 既可以用于指人,也可以用于指物。

.which用于指物,在句中作主语或宾语,作主语不可省略,作宾语可省略。
3.who,whom用于指人,who 用作主语,whom用作宾语。
在口语中,有时可用who代替whom,也可省略。
注意:(1)当定语从句中含有介词,介词放在句末时,who,that,which可省略,但介词在关系代词前时,只能用“介词+which/whom”结构。
3.Some countries still pay no attention to the pollution. _____________ ,the world's climate problem will become worse and worse.A.It depends B.In fact C.In that case D.In this way C解析:C【详解】句意:一些国家仍然不重视污染。

I learned in the newspaper that ticket could be bought at the cinema box office(售票处)in Richland Hill every day between 10:00 and 4:00. Because I work from 9:00 to 5: 0, the only time I could go to the cinema was during my 45 minute lunch time. It is a pity that the cinema is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky. you can make the round(往返)trip in 45 minutes.Last Monday I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes, waiting for n bus. By the time I sw.one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip-so I had to go back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday my luck changed, I got on a bus right away and arrived at the cinema in twenty minutes. But when I got there, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for fifty five minutes. I found that I would not have enough time to wait in line. I caught the next bus and went back across the town.By Friday I understood my only hope was to make the trip by car. It was not cheap, but I felt it would be worth seeing the film. The trip by car only took 10 minutes, but it felt like one hour to me. When I reached the cinema, I wasdelighted to see that nobody was waiting in line. But quickly found out that it was because they had already sold all the tickets.41. It seems that the writer of the story works ________.A. in a small townB. in Richland HillsC. on a farm near the townD. at a bus service center42.

AA few years ago, Masaru Ibuka, the head of Sony, was at a company planning a meeting. Suddenly, he had an idea. He stopped the meeting and asked everyone what would happen if Sony took away the recording function (功能) and speakers and sold headphones with a tape player instead. Almost everyone thought he was silly. Still, Ibuka kept his idea and worked at it. The result, of course, turned out to be the successful Sony Walkman.Good ideas often start with a really silly question. Bill Bowerman was making breakfast one day. As he stood there making cakes for his son, he asked himself what would happen if he poured rubber into his mold (模具). Later, he tried it and the result was something like the bottom of most sports shoes we see today. Still, when he took this idea to several shoe companies, he was laughed at. In fact, every single company turned him down. Though rather disappointed, Bowerman went on to form his own company, making NIKE sports shoes.We know today, of course, that each of these ideas caused a successful thing that has changed the way many of us live. The best questions are usually open-ended and are often “silly”. Children aren’t afraid to ask such questions, but adults (成年人) usually are. Think how different the world might be if people never asked “silly” questions!1. At first, ______ thought Masaru’s idea was good.A. noneB. most peopleC. few peopleD. everyone2. Masaru wanted to make a tape player ______.A. with recording function, speakers and headphonesB. with headphones, but no recording function or speakersC. with speakers and headphones, but no recording functionD. with recording function and speakers, but not headphones3. Bill Bowerman got his idea from ______.A. his sonB. sports shoesC. eatingD. cooking4. So many people refused Bill Bowerman because ______.A. they thought his idea was sillyB. they didn’t know how to make sports shoesC. his idea was hard to come trueD. it was difficult to pour rubber into the cake iron5. From the passage we know ______.A. it’s easy to make one’s idea come trueB. adults are frustrated to ask open-ended questionsC. sometimes “silly” questions may cause a s uccessful inventionD. the more personal questions we ask, the more inventions there will beBSugar is so much a part of our modern life that we only really think about it when, for some reason, we can’t obtain (获得) it. It has been known to man for at least 300 years, but has come into common use only in modern times.But what exactly is sugar? Of course, most of us recognize it immediately as the sweet material which we put in coffee or cakes. But there are in fact many types of sugar, and the chemist recognizes hundreds of different forms, each coming from a different source.About 90% of the sugar produced is used as food; only 10% is used in industry for purposes other than food production. Yet sugar has great possibilities for being used as the bases (主要成分) of chemicals. It can even be used for making plastics (塑料;塑胶). In the future these potential uses will certainly be developed more than in the past.There are many reasons why we should increase the production of sugar. The most important one is that it is one of the most highly concentrated energy foods.6. What’s the meaning of the first sentence of the passage?A. We can’t obtain sugar in our modern life.B.
