B．a(chǎn)bilityC．courage D．patience解析：選B詞義猜測(cè)題。由該段中的“thetalkersvs.thetexters”等相關(guān)信息可知，這里是說：大多數(shù)成功的交流者有能力把兩者都做好，即：不但善于口頭溝通也善于通過短信來交流，故選B項(xiàng)。10．WhatdoweknowaboutRenee'sstudents?A．Theyoftenworklateatnight.B．Theyoftenaskstrangequestions.C．Fewaskherquestionsfacetoface.D．Manyemailherifshefeelslonely.解析：選C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第三段中的“Isitinmyofficehourslonelynowbecauseifmystudentshaveaquestion,theyemailme”可知，Renee的學(xué)生很少當(dāng)面向她請(qǐng)教問題，故選C項(xiàng)。11．InJosephGrenny'sopinion,________.A．cellphonesmakepeoplelonelierB．telephoneshelppeoplecommunicateclearlyC．textinghelpspeoplehavedeeperconversationsD．talkingshouldbeencouragedinsteadoftexting解析：選D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由最后兩段中的“theconversationisn'tverydeep”和“parents...putdowntheirowncellphones”以及“theyalsoshouldsetlimits”等信息可知，JosephGrenny認(rèn)為父母應(yīng)該放下手機(jī)給孩子做個(gè)榜樣，多一些面對(duì)面的交流而非發(fā)短信，故選D項(xiàng)。DBrianGreene,aprofessorofphysicsandmathematicsatColumbiaUniversity,hascreatedanonlinescienceeducationplatform.Hetriesto“buildabridge”withthingsyouknowabout,andthen“bringyouacrossthatbridgetothestrangeplaceofmodernphysics.”RecentlyIhadachancetoaskGreeneaboutwormholes(aholewhichsomescientiststhinkmightexist,connectingpartsofspaceandtimethatarenotusuallyconnected),timetravelandothermysteriesoftheuniverse.Iaskedhimamillion-dollarquestion:WhatifIwentthroughawormholeandpreventedmyparentsfrommeeting?“Mostofusbelievethattheuniversemakessense，”Greenesaid.“Althoughthereareseveralinterestingtheoriesabouttimetravel，”headded,“thelawsofphysicswouldprobablypreventsomethingsoillogicalfromtakingplace.Thegoodnewsisthatthetimeparadox(悖論)isopenforfuturephysiciststosolve.”Whenaskedhowphysicscouldbecomemoreexcitingforkids,GreenesaidthatbooksbyStephenWeinberg,LeonardSusskind,andotherphysicists,“makeitagreattimeforpeoplewhowanttolearnaboutbigideasbutaren'tyetready,perhaps,tolearnmath.”WhenIpointedoutthatsomestudentsstillmightfindphysicsboring,Greenesaidthatthekeyistoteachthemaboutthingsthatarestrange.“Thebasicstuffisimportant，”Greenesaid.“ButIthinkit'sreallyimportanttoalsodescribethemoremodernideas,thingslikeblackholesandtheBigBang.Ifkidshavethoseideasinmind,thenatleastsomeofthemwillbeexcitedtolearnallthedetails.”GreenehasfollowedAlbertEinstein'sleadintryingtosolvethemysteriesoftheuniverse.Nowhewantskidstodothesame.AsGreenesaid,physicsis“notjustamatterofsolvingproblemsinanexam.”It'saboutexperimenting,showinganinterestinstrangephenomena(現(xiàn)象)—andhavingfun!語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。物理學(xué)家BrianGreene希望更多的孩子將會(huì)對(duì)現(xiàn)代物理學(xué)感興趣。12．Amillion-dollarquestioninParagraph2isprobablyvery________.A．direct B．difficultC．personal D．long解析：選B詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第二段Greene對(duì)這個(gè)問題的解釋以及他說需要未來的物理學(xué)家去解決可知，作者提出的這個(gè)問題非常難。13．ThebooksbyWeinbergandSusskind________.A．a(chǎn)reboringtoreadB．a(chǎn)remainlyaboutmathC．a(chǎn)repopularsciencebooksD．a(chǎn)reonlypopularamongkids解析：選C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的“...booksby...makeitagreattimeforpeoplewhowanttolearnaboutbigideasbutaren'tyetready,perhaps,tolearnmath”可知，Greene認(rèn)為Weinberg和Susskind等物理學(xué)家寫的書淺顯易懂，適合普通大眾閱讀，故這些書屬于流行的科普讀物。14．AccordingtoParagraph4,whichofthefollowingdoesGreeneagreewith?A．Modernphysicsisaboringsubject.B．Interestplaysanimportantroleinstudying.C．Itisnotnecessarytolearnallaboutphysics.D．ItiseasytodescribeblackholesandtheBigBang.解析：選B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段可知，當(dāng)作者指出一些學(xué)生覺得物理無聊時(shí)，Greene說重要的是向孩子們講述一些稀奇古怪的事，并描述一些諸如黑洞和宇宙大爆炸的現(xiàn)代物理現(xiàn)象，如果孩子們知道了這些，他們就愿意了解更多詳細(xì)的內(nèi)容。因此他認(rèn)為興趣在學(xué)習(xí)過程中起著非常重要的作用。15．Inthelastparagraph,Greenehopesthat________.A．kidscanlovescienceandphysicsB．kidscandowellinphysicsexamsC．kidscanhavefunwithexperimentsD．kidscanfindmorestrangethingsinlife解析：選A推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的“GreenehasfollowedAlbertEinstein'sleadintryingtosolvethemysteriesoftheuniverse.Nowhewantskidstodothesame.”可知，Greene希望孩子們可以像他一樣對(duì)科學(xué)和物理感興趣，去探索宇宙的奧秘。Ⅱ.閱讀七選五Al-AzharUniversityGoingtoauniversityisanimportantpartofaperson'slife.Today,manypeoplegotoauniversitytostudyandtrainforafuturejobinsubjectslikelaw,medicine,oreducation.__1__AnimportantonestartedinEgyptoveronethousandyearsago.Theworld'soldestsurvivinguniversity,Al-Azhar,isinCairo,Egypt.Itwasfirstbuiltasamosque(清真寺)inA．D.972.Afewyearslater,learnersandteachersbeganmeetinginthemosque.Theyreadandtalkedaboutthesubjectsofreligion(宗教)andlaw.__2__Leadersinthecityof__3__FortheseteachersatAl-Azhar,theyneededtothinkaboutwhatcoursestoteachandhowtoteachthem.Theearliestcourseswereinlawandreligion.Inacourse,studentsreadandstudiedwiththeteacher,buttherewasalsofreediscussion.Often,studen
