Jumanji is a story for children about a very strange game - a game that becomes far too real and frightening for the players. It was a story by Chris Van Allsburg, which was later filmed in 1996, starring the famous American actor Robin Williams.
The story begins in 1869 in New Hampshire, America. Two young brothers bury a box under some trees. A hundred years later, in 1969, a boy, Alan Panish, finds the box and takes it home. He’s unhappy that his father may want to send him to a boarding school (寄宿學(xué)校). Alan's friend Sarah arrives, and they open the box. Inside is a board game. At the start of the game, some words appear: “Do you want to leave the world behind and go back to the past? Then this is the game for you.” Suddenly Alan finds that he is disappearing into the game.
The story has a deep meaning. Through his adventures Alan learns something important - if you confront(面對(duì)) your fears, your problems will go away. Alan turns to face Van Pelt, the hunter who is trying to kill him. In doing so, he completes the game and returns to reality. Then he finds that his father is not going to send him to boarding school after all.
In Jumanji, time is “elastic”. The film director Stephen Spielberg’s “Back to the Future” films play with time in the same way. Top scientists even tell us now that time travel is theoretically(理論上) possible!
56.Who acted in the film?
[A] Robin Williams.
[B] Stephen Spielberg.
[C] Chris Van Allsburg.
[D] Van Pelt.
57.From the story we learn that Alan is a boy who ____.
[A] is afraid of his father
[B] dislikes his study at school
[C] was bom a hundred years ago
[D] goes back to the past in the game
58.Through the game Alan has realized that whenever he has difficulties he should ____.
[A] face them directly
[B] ask for his father’s advice
[C] read the words on the box
[D] escape into the past
59.What does the author mean by saying “time is ‘elastic’” in the last paragraph?
[A] Science can change the meaning of time.
[B] Time is a common topic in filmmaking.
[C] One can travel in space.
[D] One can travel in time.

Parents might say “honesty is the best policy,” but when it comes to talking with their own children, mom and dad lie surprisingly often, finds a new study carried out by researchers in the University of Toronto, Canada.
Almost every parent in the study admits having come up with some tales to influence a child’s actions and feelings. For example, a parent is annoyed by a child’s crying and says, “The police will come to get you if you don’t stop crying now.” In another example, an uncle has just died and the child is told that he has become a star to watch over the child.
Whether parents lie to benefit themselves or to protect the child, researchers suggest such tall tales could give children mixed messages at a time when they are trying to figure out how to deal with the social world.
Lies could also harm the parent-child relationship. It could even keep children from learning certain rules. “If I am always lying to the child in order to get the child to do X, Y, or Z, then they have never learned why they should do X, Y, or Z.” Heyman, one of the researchers, said.
Heyman also said, “It is common for parents to try out various ways, including lying, to guide a child, but most parents never think about how it will influence their child. I think parents should figure it out in advance what their general beliefs are, so when it comes to the situation you’re working with your beliefs rather than what comes into your head at the moment.”
60.What did the researchers find out in their recent study?
[A] Most parents are strict with their children.
[B] Many parents like to tell police stories.
[C] Few parents believe in honesty.
[D] Parents often lie to children.
61.What do the underlined words “tall tale” in paragraph 3 mean?
[A] a story mixed with lies.
[B] a story based on truth and facts.
[C] a story too long to be interesting.
[D] a story beyond children’s understanding.
62.According to the research, how may children be affected by their parents’ lies?
[A] They may fall behind in school.
[B] They may lie to their parents too.
[C] They may get confused about the society.
[D] They may feel they are being overprotected.
63.What’s Heyman’s suggestion for parents?
[A] Teach their children about rules.
[B] Guide their children on sound beliefs.
[C] Influence their children in various ways.
[D] Figure out children’s problems in advance.

When Tom Szaky sees a juice container thrown away, he doesn’t see rubbish; he sees a pencil case. Sweet wrappers (包裝紙)? A beautiful kite. But these are not the imaginings of a dreamer. For the 28-year-old CEO of Trenton, New Jersey-based TerraCycle, they’re a business model.
The fast-talking Szaky is leading the new industry of upcycling. Instead of recycling (shredding or breaking down materials and enabling them to be reproduced as other products), TerraCycle takes packaging headed for landfills (垃圾填埋) and reuses it - more or less whole. TerraCycle’s 85 employees make nearly 200 products, sold at shops such as Petco, Kmart, Whole Foods Market, and Target.
Szaky’s $7.4 million company, now also moving ahead in Mexico, Canada, the United Kingdom and Brazil is a far cry from the business he founded with classmate Jon Beyer in 2002 as a freshman at Princeton University. The two entered a business competition with a plan to sell an organic plant fertilizer () made from worm waste. They lost the competition but started the business anyway.
With their goal - to make products entirely out of rubbish - suddenly clear, Szaky knew the time was right to drop out of Princeton.
TerraCycle’s first product used dining-hall waste to feed the worms and thrown-away bottles to package the fertilizer. The result: a cheap, green breakthrough. Word spread, and in 2004, Home Depot began carrying the fertilizer in its Canadian stores.
To Szaky, waste does not exist in nature. TerraCycle is a “second chance” employer of, say, a piece of furniture, an ice-cream container. As Szaky points out: “The biggest problem with most green, fair-trade, and organic products is that they tend to cost more. At TerraCycle, everything is made from rubbish, and rubbish is free. People should be able to protect the planet without having to pay a cost for that right.”
64.Who is Tom Szaky?
[A] A student at Princeton University.
[B] The manager of a food company.
[C] An employee of Home Depot.
[D] CEO of TerraCycle.
65.What do we know about the new industry of upcycling?
[A] It puts waste materials directly into new use.
[B] It promotes completely natural foods.
[C] It buries waste materials in landfills.
[D] It makes organic plant fertilizer.
66.How did Szaky get the idea of upcy cling?
[A] From his visits to foreign companies.
[B] From his studies at Princeton University.
[C] Through shopping at big stores in America.
[D] Through the experience of a business competition.
67.What is the advantage of upcy cling according to Szaky?
[A] The cost is kept low.
[B] The product is free.
[C] The product has a longer life.
[D] More materials are available

A pure virus (病毒) could be kept in a bottle, just like hundreds of other chemicals. Yet, when a virus is placed on a living thing, it comes to life. As long as it is on a living material, it grows.
A difficult question still remains - what is a virus? Is it living or chemical? Men of science had always thought life and not-life to be as different as black and white. With the discovery of the virus, they became aware of a grey area that was neither black nor white.
Until the 1930’s, it was accepted that there was also a great difference in size between the largest chemical molecules (分子) and the smallest living things. As new and much finer filters (過(guò)濾器) were invented, men were able to measure viruses. The first virus to be measured was found to be about 100 millimicrons (毫微米) across.
The largest known chemical molecule measures only 22 millimicrons. The smallest living thing measures almost seven times that size or 150 millimicrons. When viruses were measured, they were found to range in size from 16 millimicrons to 300 millimicrons. Most were found to be larger than the largest chemical molecules and smaller than the smallest living things.
The answer to the puzzle - what is a virus? - must be that it is both living and not living. In a living cell, it is a live thing. In a bottle, it is nothing more than a chemical. We now realize that the virus is actually a link between life and not-life.
68.What is this text mainly about?
[A] How viruses should be understood.
[B] The effect viruses have on living things.
[C] How filters are used in studying viruses.
[D] The researches scientists do with viruses.
60.What makes a virus come to life?
[A] A large chemical molecule.
[B] A dead chemical.
[C] An active virus.
[D] A living cell.
70.What do the underlined words “a grey area” in paragraph 2 refer to?
[A] The discovery of unknown chemicals.
[B] Viruses in a state of living and not living.
[C] A difficult question unsolved about viruses.
[D] The colour of viruses between black and white.
71.Which of the following is the smallest in size?
[A] Viruses.
[B] New filters.
[C] Living cells.
[D] Chemical molecules.

Now one more thing to add about students, safety before we start today’s college tour. The university offers two programs called Safe Walk and College Alone programs. The Safe Walk program is to make sure that students get where they need to go late at night with officer on duty to safe guard them, whether back from the bar or from a late night study-group. The College Alone program gives students who are working alone at night peace of mind. Once a student calls the office, her position is recorded as is her time to leave the place and where she is about to go. Students are provided with a number they can call Campus Safety Office 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. And 12 college pay phones are also connected to the office, no money needed. Here we're trying our best, so that your children are safe when attending the university.
在今天我們開(kāi)始大學(xué)之旅之前，我還有一件事兒要對(duì)學(xué)生們說(shuō)。學(xué)校給我們提供了兩項(xiàng)計(jì)劃，Safe Walk 和College Alone。Safe Walk 計(jì)劃是為了確保學(xué)生們可以晚上去他們想要去的地方，無(wú)論是從酒吧還是晚間學(xué)習(xí)小組回來(lái)，都有執(zhí)勤工作人員保衛(wèi)他們。College Alone計(jì)劃是為那些晚上獨(dú)自學(xué)習(xí)的學(xué)生提供安寧的環(huán)境。一旦有學(xué)生給辦公室打電話(huà)，她的位置所在、離開(kāi)的時(shí)間以及所要去的地方都會(huì)被記錄下來(lái)。學(xué)生會(huì)得到一個(gè)電話(huà)號(hào)，可以隨時(shí)給學(xué)校治安辦公室打電話(huà)。而且學(xué)校內(nèi)12個(gè)投幣式公用電話(huà)無(wú)需投幣也都會(huì)接到辦公室。在此我們將盡全力來(lái)保證您的孩子在學(xué)校的安全。

“尤曼吉”(又稱(chēng)“勇敢者的游戲”)是一個(gè)供兒童閱讀的故事，它描述的是一個(gè)神奇的游戲——真實(shí)性很強(qiáng)，甚至對(duì)玩家來(lái)說(shuō)有點(diǎn)嚇人的游.戲。故事是由克里斯•范•奧爾斯伯格撰寫(xiě)，1996年時(shí)還被改編成電影，并由著名美國(guó)影星羅賓•威廉姆斯出演。 故事開(kāi)始于1869年美國(guó)的新罕布什爾州，一對(duì)小兄弟在樹(shù)下埋了一個(gè)盒子。一百年以后，也就是1969年，一個(gè)叫艾倫•帕里什的小男孩找到了這個(gè)盒子并把它帶回了家。當(dāng)時(shí)，他正在因?yàn)榘职忠阉偷郊乃迣W(xué)校而不開(kāi)心。艾倫的朋友薩拉來(lái)了，之后，他們就一起打開(kāi)了這個(gè)盒子，發(fā)現(xiàn)里面有一個(gè)棋盤(pán)游戲。當(dāng)游戲開(kāi)始的時(shí)候，出現(xiàn)了幾行字：“你想離開(kāi)這個(gè)世界回到過(guò)去嗎?這就是專(zhuān)屬于你的游戲。”突然，艾倫發(fā)現(xiàn)自己消失在游戲里。 這個(gè)故事有更深層的意義。通過(guò)這次冒險(xiǎn)旅程，艾倫學(xué)到了一些重要的道理——如果你可以面對(duì)自己的恐懼，那么問(wèn)題就會(huì)解決。因此，艾倫選擇勇敢面對(duì)一個(gè)試圖殺害他的獵手范•佩爾特。最后，艾倫完成了游戲，回到了現(xiàn)實(shí)中。后來(lái)，他發(fā)現(xiàn)爸爸根本就沒(méi)有打算把他送去寄宿學(xué)校。 在“尤曼吉”這個(gè)故事中，時(shí)間是有彈性的。導(dǎo)演史蒂芬•斯皮爾伯格的電影“回到未來(lái)”中以同樣的方式處理了時(shí)間。頂尖的科學(xué)家甚至告訴我們時(shí)間旅行在理論上是行得通的!
56. 選A。題目問(wèn)的是“誰(shuí)出演的這部電影”。屬于細(xì)節(jié)題。
由第一段最后一句話(huà)“which was later filmed in 1996, starring the famous American actor Robin Williams”可知，選A。
補(bǔ)充：做該題時(shí)要注意兩點(diǎn)：一是 題干中的關(guān)鍵詞film，由此定位到文中;二是 對(duì)該題的出處句中的star這個(gè)動(dòng)詞的理解，該處star的意為“由……主演”。
57. 選D。題目問(wèn)的是“從故事中我們得知，Alan是個(gè)____的男孩”。屬于細(xì)節(jié)題。
第二段最后兩句“At the start of the game, ...... disappearing into the game.”說(shuō)的是：“當(dāng)游戲開(kāi)始的時(shí)候，出現(xiàn)了幾行字：“你想離開(kāi)這個(gè)世界回到過(guò)去嗎?這就是專(zhuān)屬于你的游戲。”突然，艾倫發(fā)現(xiàn)自己消失在游戲里。”，這里的disappearing into the game說(shuō)的就是他leave the world behind and go back to the past, 離開(kāi)了這個(gè)世界回到過(guò)去，由此可以得知選D。
58. 選A，題目問(wèn)的是“通過(guò)這個(gè)游戲，Alan意識(shí)到無(wú)論他遇到什么困難，他都應(yīng)該____”。該題屬于細(xì)節(jié)題。
從第三段中第二句“Through his adventure ... if you confront your fears, your problems will go away.”可以得知，解決問(wèn)題的最好辦法就是勇敢面對(duì)它。故選A。
補(bǔ)充：該題還涉及到同義替換，選項(xiàng)中的face ... directly其實(shí)就是文中的confront之意。閱讀理解中涉及到的選項(xiàng)一般不會(huì)把文中的原句一字不差地給列出，而是會(huì)進(jìn)行某些同義轉(zhuǎn)述，所以考生在備考中一定要注重詞匯積累這個(gè)基。
59. 選D。題目問(wèn)的是“最后一段中作者所說(shuō)的'time is elastic'是什么意思”。屬于推理題。
上文中說(shuō)人們?cè)谟螒蚶锟梢源┰降竭^(guò)去，最后一句中科學(xué)家說(shuō)時(shí)間旅行其實(shí)理論上是可行的，由此可以推斷出這里的elastic原意雖表示“具有彈性的”，但實(shí)際上意指人們可以時(shí)間旅行。故選D。
參考譯文
父母可能會(huì)說(shuō)“誠(chéng)實(shí)是最好的品質(zhì)”，但是一旦跟自己孩子交談時(shí)，父母就會(huì)驚人地經(jīng)常撒謊。這是加拿大多倫多大學(xué)的研究者們最近一項(xiàng)研究的結(jié)果。
在此項(xiàng)研究中，幾乎每個(gè)父母都承認(rèn)自己為了影響孩子的言行舉止，曾編過(guò)某些故事。比如，當(dāng)孩子總是哭，家長(zhǎng)感覺(jué)很煩的時(shí)候，就會(huì)說(shuō)你再哭，警察馬上就來(lái)捕逮你了。”再比如，一個(gè)孩子的叔叔去世了，父母會(huì)告訴孩子，叔叔變成了一顆星星在天上守護(hù)著他。
研究者表示，不管父母撒謊的初衷是為了有利于自己還是保護(hù)孩子，這樣含著謊言的故事會(huì)在孩子試圖了解這個(gè)世界的時(shí)候，給他們傳遞出一些混雜的信息。
不僅如此，謊言也可能傷害親子關(guān)系，甚至不利于孩子學(xué)習(xí)一些準(zhǔn)則。一位名為赫曼的研究者說(shuō)：“如果我總是用欺騙的方法讓孩子去做一些事情，這樣的話(huà)，他們就永遠(yuǎn)不知道他們?yōu)槭裁匆@么做。”
赫曼也提到，對(duì)于父母來(lái)說(shuō)，為了引導(dǎo)孩子，可以采取很多種方法，包括說(shuō)謊。但是大多數(shù)父母從未想過(guò)謊言會(huì)對(duì)孩子產(chǎn)生什么樣的影響。我覺(jué)得父母應(yīng)該提前想清楚自己普遍信奉的原則，因此，一旦遇到類(lèi)似的情況，你就會(huì)用你信奉的原財(cái)而不是一時(shí)沖動(dòng)去處理問(wèn)題。
60. 選D。題目問(wèn)的是“最近的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)什么?”。該題屬于細(xì)節(jié)題。
第一段說(shuō)的就是一項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，即，父母在和孩子們說(shuō)話(huà)中經(jīng)常會(huì)說(shuō)謊，故選D。
補(bǔ)充：一般文中，but后面出現(xiàn)的句子信息是我們所要重點(diǎn)關(guān)注的;finds a new study ...其實(shí)是主謂倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)，主語(yǔ)是a new study，謂語(yǔ)是finds，賓語(yǔ)是前面but引出的句子，即研究結(jié)果。
61. 選A。題目問(wèn)的是“第三段中的tall tales指的是什么?”。該題屬于推理題。
一般，such如果出現(xiàn)在某一名詞前，那么該名詞往往回指的是上文中的一些情況，所以要想知道tall tales之意，要看看上文。上文提到了一些父母跟孩子談話(huà)中所涉及到的謊言例子，而且根據(jù)下文中所說(shuō)的“could give children mixed messages at a time when they are trying to figure out how to deal with the social world.”都可以推斷出tall tales指的就是那些混雜著謊言的故事。
62. 選C。題目問(wèn)的是“根據(jù)研究，父母的謊言會(huì)對(duì)孩子產(chǎn)生什么影響”。該題屬于推理題。
第三段提到“such tall tales could give children mixed messages at a time when they are trying to figure out how to deal with the social world.”，由此可推理出，父母的謊言會(huì)影響孩子們對(duì)于社會(huì)的理解，故選C。
63. 選B。題目問(wèn)的是“Heyman對(duì)父母的建議是什么”。該題屬于細(xì)節(jié)題。
最后一段提到Heyman說(shuō)的一段話(huà)，其中“I think parents should...”一句就是對(duì)父母的建議，由此可知他認(rèn)為父母應(yīng)該提前想清楚自己普遍信奉的原則，因此，一旦遇到類(lèi)似的情況，你就會(huì)用你信奉的原則而不是一時(shí)沖動(dòng)去處理問(wèn)題。故選B(Guide their children on sound beliefs.在合理的信奉的原則之上引導(dǎo)孩子。)

在湯姆•薩奇的眼中，一個(gè)扔掉的果汁盒不是垃圾，而是一個(gè)鉛筆盒，漂亮的包裝紙，美麗的風(fēng)箏。但是這些并非是夢(mèng)想家的想象。對(duì)于位于新澤西的特林頓公司28歲的CEO來(lái)說(shuō)，這些都是商業(yè)模型。
薩奇語(yǔ)速很快，他引領(lǐng)了升級(jí)改造新產(chǎn)業(yè)潮流。特林頓公司并不從事回收業(yè)，即將物質(zhì)粉碎：或者打破之后重新制成別的產(chǎn)品，它是把即將被當(dāng)做垃圾填埋的包裝進(jìn)行重新利用，可能是整個(gè)或者是部分的利用。公司85個(gè)雇員制 作近兩百種產(chǎn)品，在美國(guó)寵物用品連鎖超市、凱馬特、全食超市、塔吉特等地出售。
薩奇擁有的這個(gè)價(jià)值740萬(wàn)美金的公司現(xiàn)在正在開(kāi)拓墨西哥、加拿大、英國(guó)和巴西的市場(chǎng)。比起薩奇在2002年剛上普林斯頓大學(xué)時(shí)和同班同學(xué)喬恩•拜爾一起建立的那個(gè)小生意相較，確實(shí)今非昔比。那時(shí)，兩人參加了一個(gè)商業(yè)比賽，計(jì)劃是賣(mài)從蟲(chóng)子排泄物中制作出的有機(jī)肥料，盡管比賽失利，但是此項(xiàng)生意卻由此開(kāi)始了。
他們的目標(biāo)——從垃圾中制作產(chǎn)品——變得清晰了，于是，薩奇覺(jué)得是時(shí)候從普林斯頓大學(xué)輟學(xué)了。
特林頓公司的第一件產(chǎn)品是使用餐廳泔水去喂養(yǎng)蟲(chóng)子，用廢棄的瓶子包裝肥料，這是成本低廉并且環(huán)保的突破。通過(guò)人們的口口相傳，在2004年，美國(guó)家得寶公司開(kāi)始把特林頓公司的肥料引入了其加拿大的店鋪。
對(duì)于薩奇來(lái)說(shuō)，廢品并不是自然存在的物品。特林頓公司是給了某件家具或是某個(gè)冰淇淋盒子第二次利用的機(jī)會(huì)。正如薩奇所言，“最大的問(wèn)題是，大多數(shù)綠色有機(jī)產(chǎn)品成本都比較高在特林頓公司，每個(gè)產(chǎn)品都是由垃圾制成的，而這些都是免費(fèi)的。人們應(yīng)該不需要為保護(hù)我們的星球付出任何成本。”
64. D。題目問(wèn)的是“Tom Szaky是誰(shuí)?”。屬于細(xì)節(jié)題。
由第一段最后一句“…the 28-year-old CEO of Trenton...”，可知，選D。
65. A。題目問(wèn)“我們可以了解關(guān)于升級(jí)改造新產(chǎn)業(yè)的什么?”。該題屬于推理題。
由第二段第一句可知the new industry of upcycling其實(shí)就是TerraCycle該公司。依據(jù)接下來(lái)的第二句所陳述的“Instead of recycling, TerraCycle takes packaging headed for landfills and reuses it...”，可知，特林頓公司并不從事回收產(chǎn)業(yè)，它是把即將被當(dāng)作垃圾填埋的包裝進(jìn)行重新利用，可能是整個(gè)或者是部分的利用。故選A。
66. D。題目問(wèn)的是“Szaky如何有了從事升級(jí)改造產(chǎn)業(yè)的靈感?”。該題屬于推理題。
根據(jù)第三段的內(nèi)容“...but started the business anyway.”可知，薩奇在大學(xué)的時(shí)候因?yàn)閰⒓右粋�(gè)比賽，計(jì)劃是賣(mài)從蟲(chóng)子排泄物中制作出的有機(jī)肥料，嘗過(guò)這種活動(dòng)，之后就開(kāi)始從事這方面的商業(yè)活動(dòng)。故選D。
67. A。題目問(wèn)的是“Szaky認(rèn)為升級(jí)改造產(chǎn)業(yè)的優(yōu)勢(shì)是什么?”。該題屬于推理題。
根據(jù)最后一段第三、四句“...the biggest problem...is that they tend to cost more...and rubbish is free.”可知，產(chǎn)業(yè)最大的優(yōu)勢(shì)就是原料是免費(fèi)的，成本相對(duì)低廉。故選A。
參考譯文
單純的一個(gè)病毒可以像其他很多種化學(xué)物質(zhì)一樣被保存在瓶子里。但是，一旦病毒附著在一個(gè)生命體上，它也就有了生命。只要被附著的物體活著，它就能生長(zhǎng)。
但是，仍然有一個(gè)難題——病毒是什么?它是生命體或是化學(xué)物質(zhì)?人類(lèi)科學(xué)總是把有生命和無(wú)生命的物體視作是截然相反的兩者。隨著病毒的發(fā)現(xiàn)，他們開(kāi)始意識(shí)到在之前的兩者之間還有一個(gè)中間的領(lǐng)域，它并不屬于任何一方。
直到二十世紀(jì)30年代，人們才普遍認(rèn)識(shí)到，最大的化學(xué)分子和最小的生物體之間也是有巨大的大小差異的。當(dāng)發(fā)明了新型的更加精細(xì)的過(guò)濾器之后，人們開(kāi)始能夠測(cè)量病毒的大小。第一個(gè)被測(cè)量出的病毒直徑大概是100毫微米。
已知的最大的化學(xué)分子直徑僅僅是22毫微米，而最小的生物體的尺寸是這個(gè)數(shù)字的7倍，即將近150毫微米。病毒的測(cè)量數(shù)據(jù)顯示，它們的尺寸范圍在16到300毫微米之間變化。大多數(shù)病毒尺寸介于最大的化學(xué)分子和最小的生物體之間。
回到那個(gè)問(wèn)題——病毒是什么?——病毒是有生命的，又是無(wú)生命的。在一個(gè)有生命的細(xì)胞中，病毒就是有生命的;在一個(gè)空瓶子里，病毒就跟一個(gè)化學(xué)物質(zhì)沒(méi)什么兩樣�，F(xiàn)在，我們意識(shí)到，其實(shí)病毒就是生命和非生命的紐帶。
68. A。題目問(wèn)的是“文章大意是什么?”。該題屬于主旨題。
先要理順文章各個(gè)段落，第一段是引子，引出了第二段所提的問(wèn)題“病毒是什么?”，然后一直到最后都是對(duì)于這個(gè)問(wèn)題的回答，最后一段又重申了這個(gè)問(wèn)題。因此這篇文章主要是說(shuō)“病毒是什么?”，即我們應(yīng)該如何去解讀病毒的概念。故選A。
69. D。題目問(wèn)的是“是什么讓一個(gè)病毒有了生命?”。該題屬于細(xì)節(jié)題。
由第一段第二句“Yet, when a virus is placed on a living thing it comes to life.”可知當(dāng)病毒附著在一個(gè)生命體上，病毒就是有生命的，故選D。
70. B。題目問(wèn)的是“第二段中劃線(xiàn)詞組a grey area指的是什么?”。該題屬于推理題。
由第二段可知，科學(xué)家們總是把有生命和無(wú)生命的物體視作是截然相反的兩者。隨著病毒的發(fā)現(xiàn)，他們開(kāi)始意識(shí)到這兩者之間還有一個(gè)中間的領(lǐng)域，它并不屬于任何一方。由此可推斷出這里的a grey area(灰色領(lǐng)域)指的是病毒處于一種生命體與非生命體的中間地帶。故選B。
補(bǔ)充：a grey area that was neither black nor white這里的black和white分別指的是前面被視作截然相反的兩者-life和not-life。
71. D。題目問(wèn)的是“以下幾個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，哪個(gè)是尺寸最小的?”。該題屬于推理題。
根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段最后一句“...larger than the largest chemical molecules and smaller than the smallest living things.”可知，通過(guò)三者的比較，應(yīng)該是chemical molecules最小。故D為正確答案。
補(bǔ)充：注意這里的largest和smallest作的是定語(yǔ)，分別修飾chemical molecules和living things：最大的chemical molecules，最小的living things，而不是說(shuō)chemical molecules就是最大，living things就是最小。這一點(diǎn)很具有迷惑性。
這里作比較的三者是：the smallest living things>viruses>the largest chemical molecules

Dear Bob，
You wrote to me saying that you were dreaming of a special weekend away from the noisy city and tedious life.
I am wondering that a day’s tour to the countryside might be a good idea. My recommendation is that I accompany you to Lanshan Village for the weekend and we will be staying at Uncle Zhang’s house. I’ve been there once and was amazed by the beautiful scenery there.
My plan goes like this. We can go for vegetable collection in the field in the morning, which we could breathe fresh air and get a great meal for lunch. Fishing is also fun, which we can go in the afternoon. There is a river near where we live and it only takes us ten minutes on foot. If we are lucky, we could enjoy nice fish for supper. After supper, we can enjoy singing and dancing performed by countrymen.
If you have anything particular in mind, please let me know.
Best wishes.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
