In 1971, an engineer working for Intel realized that a 3 of circuits commissioned for an electronic calculator could all be put 4 one chip

37、, and that the resulting device could be used 5 a general-purpose computer on a chip. The result was the Intel 4004 - the worlds first microprocessor. Physically, it consisted of a silicon chip in a protective ceramic capsule, with a set of metal pins sticking 6 that connected it to other components

38、 in whatever 7 it controlled. It 8 2,300 transistors, 9 60,000 operations per second, and could be used for any device - including computers and robots - that required a brain for accepting 10 and following a program of 11 to produce an output.

39、ad 12 .The invention of microprocessors 13 the stage for the arrival of the microcomputer, or personal computer (PC)- an affordable machine for 14 The first PCs, in kit form, appeared in the mid 1970s, and by the mid-1980s machines such as the Apple Macintosh and those based 15 a PC first 16 by IBM

40、in 1981 were popular throughout the world. The success of these machines led to an explosion of software, in 17 a range of spreadsheet, word-processing, graphic, educational, and games programs. Since the 1980s, a number of strong-intertwined themes have 18 the computer revolution forward, including

41、 a continuing increase in the processing power and decrease in the size and cost of PCs; a switch of emphasis from 19 to linked machines, as evidenced by the growth of local area networks and the Internet; and the spread of computer applications into virtually every 20 of home and business life. 1.A

42、.integralB.comprehensiveC.integratedD.general答案:C解析 integral意为“整体的，完整的”；comprehensive意为“广泛的”； integrated意为“各部分配合好的，完整的”；general意为“综合的，概括的”。根据上下文可知，文章是想表达“集成电路”这一含义，integrated circuits是常用的表达方法。故正确答案为C。2.A.ofB.inC.onD./答案:A解析 consist是不及物动词，后面必须加介词，先排除D。consist有两种用法，和in连用意为“在于”，和of连用意为“由组成”。根据上下文含义：“由不

43、同芯片上的一些电路组成”，可知A为正确答案。3.A.suitB.numberC.lotD.set答案:D解析 suit和set都可表示“套”的含义，但suit表示一套衣服，set表示一套餐具、工具。a number of和a lot of都表示“许多，大量”。根据上下文含义：“意识到电子计算机所需的一套电路可以放到一个芯片上”，可知原文想表达这些“电路”相互关联且组成一个整体，因此D符合题意。4.A.inB.ontoC.asD.at答案:B解析 此处意为：“可以放到一个芯片上”，考虑到下文中的computer on a chip，介词onto为正确搭配。B为正确答案。5.A.forB.asC.

44、onD.to答案:B解析 for意为“为了”；as意为“作为”；on意为“在上”；to意为“到去”。use和to一般不连用，除非use接不定式，即use sthto do sth、根据上下文含义：“装置可用作共有一个芯片的计算机”，可知B项为正确答案。6.A.inB.toC.outD.on答案:C解析 stick in不能单独使用，只能说stick in sth.，意为“穿入、插入某物中”；stick to 意为“坚持”；stick out意为“支出，伸出”；没有stick on这种搭配。因此C为正确答案。7.A.deviceB.applianceC.apparatusD.tool答案:A解析

45、 四项都有“器具”含义，但侧重点不同。device指“具有某种用途的装置”；appliance指“有某种特定用途的用具”，如“家用电器”就是 electrical appliances；apparatus指“科学实验中用的精密仪器”，或“体操器械”；tool是最宽泛的“工具”，往往含有一种“较原始”的意味，且与人密切相关。根据上下文含义：“微处理器控制的装置”，A为正确答案。8.A.consistedB.containedC.coveredD.made of答案:B解析 consist意为“组成”；contain意为“包含”；cover意为“涵盖，覆盖”；makes of是误用，应为sthis

46、 made of sth.，表示“由制成”。根据上下文含义：“微处理器由2 300个晶体管组成”。因此正确答案为B。9.A.executedB.carriedC.tookD.put答案:A解析 execute意为“执行”；carry意为“搬运”，只有和out连用才能表示“实行，执行”之义；take意为“带去”；put意为“放”，与下文“操作”不相搭配。只有A在意义上可以说通，即：“每秒执行60 000次操作”。10.A.outputB.inputC.inletD.outlet答案:B解析 output意为“输出”；input意为“输入”；inlet意为“入口”；outlet意为“出口”。下文中

47、的to produce an output与此对应，所以此处应填 accepting input，即“接收输入的信息”。B为正确答案。11.A.suggestionB.suggestionsC.instructionD.instructions答案:D解析 suggestion意为“建议”，instruction意为“指令，指导”，两个词都是可数名词，上文中没有冠词，故应用复数形式。在计算机术语中，常说“根据指令”，而不说“根据建议”。故正确答案为D。12.A.happenedB.occurredC.appearedD.shown答案:C解析 happen和occure都指事件的“发生”；ap

48、pear意为“出现”；show之后不加宾语时，意为“看得见，可察觉出”。此处与“微处理器”搭配，并非一个事件，故排除A、B。D与上下文要求不符。因此C为正确答案。13.A.putB.setC.takeD.bring答案:B解析 set the stage for意为“为做好准备”，是固定搭配。14.A.the massesB.the richC.the poorD.the grass root答案:A解析 the masses意为“大众”。根据上下文，此处是想表达“大众能承受得起的机器”，而并非面对特定人群，如“穷人”或“富人”。因此选A。D项的单复数表示错误，只有the grass root

49、s才表示“大众”。15.A.inB.onC.ofD.to答案:B解析 baseon意为“以为基础”。其他介词均无法与base搭配。16.A.brought outB.brought upC.brought inD.brought down答案:A解析 brought out意为“生产， 出版”，brought up意为“抚育”，brought in意为“获得”，brought down意为“使下降”。根据上下文可知，此处讲的是 IBM生产的PC机。因此A为正确答案。17.A.partB.particularC.especiallyD.special答案:B解析 in与part搭配，意为“部分地

50、”；in与particular搭配，意为“尤其”，与C含义相同，但in不能和C、D搭配。下文进一步强调上丈提到的“软件爆炸”的具体各个层面，用in particular连接符合逻辑意义。故选B。18.A.driveB.droveC.drivenD.drived答案:C解析 drive的过去分词形式是driven，过去式是drove，属不规则动词。19.A.isolatedB.integralC.connectedD.related答案:A解析 isolated意为“隔绝的”；integral意为“整体的，完整的”；connected意为“相连的”；related意为“相关的”。from _ t

51、o linked machines中的 linked表示“相连”，与之对应的应是“隔绝的”。故选A。20.A.levelB.surfaceC.aspectsD.aspect答案:D解析 根据上下文可知，此处应指“家庭和商业的每一方面”。C为复数，首先排除。level意为“水平”；surface意为“表面”；aspect意为“方面”。故选D。Section Reading ComprehensionPart A Read the following four texts.

53、ntial processes of plant growth and development occur in water. The mineral elements from the soil that arc usable by the plant must be dissolved in the soil solution before they can be taken into the root.

54、ls while in a dissolved state. The carbon dioxide (CO2 ) from the air may enter the leaf as a gas but is dissolved in water in the leaf before it is combined with a part of the water to form simple sugars -the base material from which the plant body is mainly built. Actively growing plant parts are

55、generally 75% to 90% water. Structural parts of plants, such as woody stems no longer actively growing, may have much less water than growing tissues. The actual amount of water in the plant at ashy one time, however, is only a very small part of what passes through it during its development. The pr

56、ocesses of photosynthesis, by which carbon dioxide and water are combined - in the presence of chlorophyll and with energy derived from light- to form sugars, require that carbon dioxide from the air enter the plant. This occurs mainly in the leaves. The leaf surface is not solid but contains great numbers of minute openings, through which the carbon dioxide enters. The same structure that permits the one ga
