試題分析：本文講述了一個(gè)人的后車輪附近藏著一只蜂王，導(dǎo)致一群蜜蜂追隨它的汽車的故事。最后他給養(yǎng)蜂人打電話，讓他把蜜蜂給取走了。

1.考查名詞。connection連接； difference不同； communication 交流，通訊； similarity相似。這里指的是人與昆蟲的區(qū)別，注意下文提到的the former(前者)和the latter(后者)是在對(duì)兩者的不同作比較。故選B。

2.考查名詞。passengers乘客； insects昆蟲； former前者； first第一。根據(jù)下文the latter quickly，所以與它相對(duì)應(yīng)，故選C。

3.考查動(dòng)詞。give給； keep保持； pay花費(fèi)； draw attention 引起注意。句中的while 表對(duì)比。前面說偷乘車輛或船只的人通常都會(huì)盡量不讓人發(fā)現(xiàn)，而“偷”乘車輛或船只的昆蟲則不同，怎么個(gè)不同？那就是它們會(huì)draw attention (引起注意)。故選D。

4.考查形容詞。unfortunate不幸的； careless粗心的； unpleasant討厭的，令人不快的； hopeless沒有希望的。根據(jù)下文可知，這個(gè)人很不走運(yùn)。故選A。

5.考查名詞。front前面； back后面； left左邊； right右邊。根據(jù)文章最后一段倒數(shù)第2句He found the unwelcome passenger hidden near the wheels at the back. of the car 可知，此處應(yīng)填 back。故選B。

6.考查動(dòng)詞。drive開始； continue繼續(xù)； push推； forc強(qiáng)迫。既然通過檢查沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)什么問題，所以他就繼續(xù)(continue)趕路。故選B。

7.考查副詞。normally正常地； gently輕輕地； quietly安靜地； immediately立刻。由于是一種奇怪的聲音，并且他幾次下車查看，說明這種聲音不算normally；又由于后面說…became even louder，說明它不gently；actually 在此不合語境。故選D，指車一開動(dòng)，又馬上出現(xiàn)了那種聲音。故選D。

8.考查形容詞。black黑色的； beautiful漂亮的； white 白的； colorful彩色的。根據(jù)下文可知，跟在車后的是一群蜜蜂，作者把它形容成一團(tuán)烏云，故用black。故選 A。

9.考查介詞。below在……下面； ahead向前； nearby在附近； behind在后面。

根據(jù)上下文語境可知，這群蜜蜂不是在車底，是在附近，也不是前面，也不是在車后面。故選C。

10.考查形容詞。boring煩人的； careful仔細(xì)的； exciting令人高興的；  hard難的。司機(jī)盡量把車開快希望能甩掉其后的蜜蜂，這樣的的駕駛肯定很hard。故選D。

11.考查名詞。hotel旅館； museum歷史博物館； hospital醫(yī)院； school學(xué)校。根據(jù)下文提到a customer 可排除B、C、D。故選A。

12.考查動(dòng)詞。break打破； move移動(dòng)； hurry匆忙； drop下降。因?yàn)檫@位看見他停車的顧客發(fā)現(xiàn)他的車上滿是蜜蜂，所以就匆忙匆忙(hurried)進(jìn)來告訴他。故選C。

13.考查形容詞。be crowded with 擠滿了……；be covered with 被……所覆蓋；be filled with裝滿……；be equipped with 由……所裝備。根據(jù)語境，只有B較合適。故選B。

14.考查動(dòng)詞。advis建議； require要求； order命令； request請(qǐng)求。advise sb that… 意為“建議某人……”，此處用的是該結(jié)構(gòu)的被動(dòng)式，其意為“有人建議他……”。故選A。

15.考查名詞。bee-keeper養(yǎng)蜂人； policeman警察； waiter服務(wù)員；repairman修理工。要對(duì)付這批蜜蜂，顯然只有bee-keeper(養(yǎng)蜂人)最合適。故選A。

考點(diǎn)：故事類短文。

點(diǎn)評(píng)：完形填空所用的短文一般不給標(biāo)題，但短文的主題句，往往在每段文章的首句，有時(shí)也出現(xiàn)在文章的中間或結(jié)束處。主題句提供全篇的性質(zhì)、大意等，這是深入了解全文的“窗口”，甚至能以語句為立足點(diǎn)，從該句的時(shí)態(tài)、語氣推測全文的主要內(nèi)容。

The year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two pieces will probably hit the southern half of the Earth.

On 17 July, a piece four kilometers wide enters the Earth’s atmosphere with a massive explosion. About half of the piece is destroyed, but the remaining part hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and a huge hole is made in the sea bed. Huge waves are created and spread outwards from the hole. The wall of water, a kilometer high, rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people drowned.

Before the waves reach South America, the second piece of the comet lands in Argentina. Earthquakes and volcanoes are set off in the Andes Mountains. The shock waves move north into California and all around the Pacific Ocean. The cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Tokyo are completely destroyed by earthquakes. Millions of people in the southern half of the Earth are already dead, but the north won’t escape for long. Because of the explosions, the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. The sun won’t be seen again for many years. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later, no more than 10 million people remain alive.

Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a piece of object in space. The dinosaurs couldn’t live through the cold climate that followed and they died out. Will we meet the same end?

1.What is mainly described in the passage?

A. A historic discovery.           B. An event of imagination.

C. A research on space.           D. A scientific adventure.

2.When the first piece hits the South Atlantic, it causes      .

A. an earthquake                B. damages to cities

C. an Earth explosion            D. huge waves

3.Why can’t the northern half of the earth escape for long?

A. Because the land is covered with water.

B. Because the light and heat from the sun can not reach the Earth.

C. Because people there can not live at the temperature of zero.

D. Because wars break out among countries.

4.By giving the example of dinosaurs, the author tries to prove      .

A. animals could not live in the cold climate

B. what happened 65 million years ago was an invented story

C. the human beings will die out in 2094

D. the Earth could be hit by other objects in space

Mark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously. Jason was determined not to go against their father’s wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother. He loves experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.

“Dad will be really mad if he finds out you’ve been playing with his new computer” Jason said, “He told us not to touch it.”

“He won’t find out,” Mark said, “I’ll just have a quick look and shut it down.”

Mark had been scolded before for touching his father’s equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.

It was a strange-looking machine — one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked. “It’s an experimental model,” his father had explained, so don’t touch it under any circumstances.” But his father’s warning only served to make Mark more curious. Without any further thought, Mark turned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later, the screen turned into colours, shifting and changing, and then two big white words appeared in the centre of the screen: “SPACE TRANSPORTER.”

“Yes!” Mark cried excitedly, “It’s a computer game. I knew it! Dad’s only been pretending to work. He’s really been playing games instead!” A new message appeared on the screen:

“ENTER NAMES

VOYAGE�。�

VOYAGE�。�

Mark’s finger flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.

“INPUT ACCEPTED.

START  TRANSPORT  PROGRAM.

AUTO-RETRIEVE  INITIATED(自動(dòng)回收程序已啟動(dòng)).”

     The screen turn even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.

“I think we’d better shut it off, Mark,” Jason yelled out in terror, reaching for the power switch. A beam(光束) of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen, wrapping the boys in its glow(光芒)，until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys were no longer there. On the screen, the letters changed：

“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL．

DESTINATION:  MARS.

RETRIEVE DATE:  2025

1.Why did Mark touch the computer against his father’s warning?

A. He wanted to take a voyage.

D. He was eager to do an experiment.

2.Where did the boy’s father most likely work?

B. In a computer company

C. In a scientific research center.

D. In an information processing center.

3.Mark thought “SPACE TRANSPORTER” on the screen was the name of ________.

A. a computer game                                       B. a company website

C. a software producer                                           D. an astronomy program

4.Why did Jason want to shut off the computer?

A. He was afraid of being scolded.

B. He didn’t like the loud noise and light.

C. He didn’t want to play games.

D. He was afraid something dangerous might happen.

5.What happened to the boys at the end of the story?

A. They were blown into the air.

B. They were sent to another planet.
