William Henry Bragg was born at Westward, Cumberland, on July 2, 1862. He was educated
at Market Harborough Grammar School and afterwards at King William’s College. Isle of Man. Elected a minor scholar of Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1881, he studied mathematics under the well-known teacher, Dr. E. J. Routh. He studied physics in the Cavendish Laboratory during a part of 1885, and at the end of that year was elected to the Professorship of Mathematics and Physics in the University of Adelaide, South Australia.
His research interests dealt with a great many fields and he was skilled at picking up a subject,
almost casually, making an important contribution, and then dropping it again. However, the work of Bragg and his son Lawrence in 1913-1914 founded a new branch of science of the greatest importance and significance, the analysis of the crystal(晶体) structure by means of X-rays. It is true that the use of X-rays as an instrument for the systematic revelation of the way in which crystals are built was entirely due to the Braggs. This was recognized by the award of the Nobel Prize jointly to father and son in 1915.
He was an honorary Doctor of some sixteen universities, and a member of the leading foreign societies. Many other medals and awards were bestowed upon him among which may be mentioned the Rumford Medal in 1916 and the Copley Medal (its premier award) in 1930. He was the author of many books, including Studies in Radio-activity, X-Rays and Crystal Structure, The World of Sound, Concerning the Nature of Things, Old Trades and New Knowledge, An Introduction to Crystal Analysis, and The Universe of Light. His favorite hobby was golf. After a life of astonishing productiveness, Sir William Bragg died on March 10, 1942. 1. In Trinity College William Henry Bragg was ________. A. a professor B. a student C. a worker D. a doctor 2. William Henry Bragg was awarded the Nobel Prize because ________. A. he succeeded in using X-rays to find out the crystal structure B. he was the first to use X-rays to help to do his experiment C. he was determined to learn everything well and then gave them up D. he was successful in his research work with the help of his son
3. According to this passage, William Henry Bragg was interested in all the subjects EXCEPT ________.
A. mathematics B. physics C. medicine D. sports 4. Which one of the following is right according to this passage? A. Bragg became the professor of the University of Adelaide in 1885. B. Bragg won the Rumford Medal and the Copley Medal in the same year. C. Bragg gained great achievements in many fields, including society. D. Bragg and Lawrence wrote the book X-Rays and Crystal Structure. 5. Which of the following is the best title for this passage? A. William Henry Bragg’s Productive Life B. William Henry Bragg：a Famous Author C. Bragg and His Son—Two Great Scientists D. X-rays and the Crystal Structure 四、“七选五”新题型
What is your favorite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, and red? 1 . Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that
colours have on human beings. 2 . If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
3 . A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. 4 . A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀) than any other bridge in the area—until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
5 . It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.
A. On the other hand, black is depressing.
B. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite colour as grow up—we are born with our preference.
C. The rooms are painted in different colours as you like.
D. If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement.
E. Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. F. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colours. G. Colours do influence our moods—there is no doubt about it 五、书面表达
假设你堂兄建华在国外学习，你们经常用英文通信。他即将完成学业，不久前来信就是否回国工作征求你的意见。请根据下列提示回信： 1．建议他回国；
2．你的理由是：学有所用，就业容易；照顾父母。 注意；1．词数120左右。
2．行文应连贯，内容应完整。
答案与解析 一、单项选择
1. C。句意：所有这些活动都是一个平台，你可能会从中找到你所喜爱的那一项。where= on which，引导定语从句修饰先行词platform，并在从句中作状语，将其代入后为：On the platform you might find...。
2. D。句意：作为老师，我很少给我的学生难以解决的问题。先行词为so difficult a problem，代入定语从句后为：They cannot work out so difficult a problem.由此可见先行词在定语从句中作宾语。“so/ such+名词”作先行词，且先行词在定语从句中作主语、宾语或表语时，需用as引导定语从句。本题易误选为A项，用that引导状语从句，但状语从句应是完整的，如选A项，题干应改为：As a teacher, I seldom give my students so difficult a problem that they
cannot work it out.
3. C。先行词为a nice beach，空白处后面的定语从句含有主语、谓语、宾语和时间状语，因此空白处只能在从句中作地点状语，故选C项。
4. C。句意：最后，为了一句温柔的话和一个微笑，他向Becky求助了。turn to sb. 向某人求助。
5. C。本句中的先行词是the age，先行词在从句中作时间状语，即at the age of 21。所以这里选C项。
6. B。句意：膝盖是连接腿节和小腿那块大骨的关节。根据句意可知空处引导的是定语从句， 修饰先行词the joint，且在从句中作地点状语，故用where来引导。
7. B。先行词为degree，只有介词to可以和degree搭配，意为“到某种程度”。 8. C。which引导定语从句，修饰先行词way，而且which在从句中作uses的宾语。 9. C。做定语从句题的关键是：在主句中找出先行词，然后把先行词代入从句中，判断其在从句中的地位和作用。该句的先行词是a new building，关系词在从句中作主语，因此选关系代词which。
10. B。句意：简易读本是学生们借以培养终身的阅读习惯，并进一步强化长久稳固的实际阅读技能的基础。which引导定语从句，修饰先行词the foundation，将其代入定语从句为： Students build a lifelong habit of reading and... and upon the foundation. build A on/ upon B 将A建立在B的基础之上。 二、完形填空
1. B。联系后文的in schools in most countries, and in many countries, even at home以及接下来的转折可知，体罚在许多学校，甚至家庭都是禁止的。
2. C。联系空后的still believe that they have the 3 (privilege)to use some physical punishments ...可知，尽管体罚已经禁止，但是很多家长认为他们有特权去体罚自己的孩子，因此前后为转折关系。
3. A。联系空后的to use florae physical punishments再结合生活实际可知。很多家长认为自己有特权去体罚孩子。
4. D。联系空前的use some physical punishments可知，这些家长利用体罚处理孩子不当的行为。A有一定的干扰性，disobedience意思是“不服从”，而联系下文中to deal with misbehaving children可知，他们体罚行为不端的孩子。
5. A。本段中作者列举了父母存在的两个问题，本空所在句是问题之一。
6. C。很难完全放弃体罚是父母体罚孩子的重要原因之一。其他选项是父母不体罚孩子的原因，因此可以排除。
7. B。空后的内容是他们所争辩的。A，D有一定的干扰性，suspect怀疑，deny否认。他们争论自己就是这样长大的，因此这是他们体罚孩子的理由。
8. A。联系空后的it didn’t do any harm to them可知，他们也是在父母的
棍棒下长大的。bring up在这里的意思是“抚养成人”，take sb. in意思是“欺骗某人”。 9. C。他们辩论说，他们体罚孩子是为了孩子着想。for sb.’s sake意思是“为某人着想”。 10. B。联系后文可知，他们觉得教育孩子可以用自己认为合适的任何方式，包括体罚。
11. D。联系空前的quick以及后文的“与孩子理论没有多少意义”可知，他们认为体罚是最快、最有效的办法。
12. B。四个选项中，screaming更符合misbehavior。其他都不能构成父母体罚孩子的理由。 13. A。联系空后的讲述以及最后的总结In the same way，banning physical punishment...可知，作者认为应该停止使用体罚。
14. C。联系下文的They do not have enough resources...可知，他们没有接受过处理这种情况的训练。
15. A。联系空前的enough resources可知，他们没有多少可以选择的办法。
16. D。联系空后的by hitting the child可知，打孩子是他们对于孩子不端行为的反应。 17. B。联系空后的they may keep following 18 (negative) habits可知，如果他们不被强制改变自己的认识，他们将继续使用这个消极的习惯。
18. C。空后的habits指“对于孩子的不端行为父母采取体罚的习惯”，因此是消极的。 19. B。空前后是现在与过去的比较，前后为转折关系。
20. A。联系空前的banning physical punishment可知，禁止体罚将强迫家长改变自己的习惯。 三、阅读理解
1. B。细节理解题。根据第一段中的he studied mathematics under the well-known teacher可知，在这所大学的时候William Henry Bragg还是学生。
2. A。细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句This was recognized by the award of the Nobel Prize...及上下文内容可知，Bragg和他的儿子用X光成功地发现了晶体的结构。这正是他被授予诺贝尔奖的原因。
3. C。细节理解题。根据文中第一段提到的he studied mathematics under the well-known teacher, Dr. E. J. Routh. He studied physics...等信息以及文章最后一段中提到的His favorite hobby was golf可知，William Henry Bragg对数学、物理和体育有一定的兴趣。 4. A。细节理解题。从第一段最后一句话可得出A项为正确答案。
5. A。主旨大意题。从全义看，文章主要介绍了William Henry Bragg富有成果的一生。A项和文章相符。 四、“七选五”新题型
71. D。根据下文问答形式可以看出，选项D为正确答案。 72. B。根据上文意义，选项填到此空处可以与上文形成排比句式。
73. G。从空后的“A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.”这句话中可以找出正确答案为选项G。
74. A。从与上文的关系空后的“A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀) than any other bridge in the area---until it was repainted green.” 这句话中可以找到正确答案选项G。
75. E。从下文意义可以很容易地推断出E为最佳选项。 五、书面表达 Dear Jianhua,
I’m very glad to receive the letter you sent me two weeks ago. I’ve been thinking about the
question you asked me. In my opinion, you should come back after you finish your studies abroad. For one reason, what you are studying is badly needed nowadays in China. It will be quite easy for you to find a good job. In fact, I know a few big companies in our city are hoping to hire people like you. For another reason, I think it will be much more convenient for you to look after your parents as they are getting old. Therefore, I think it’s a good idea for you to return. So what are you waiting for? Best wishes,
Minghua
