9．We have faith that the project，if ________  (carry out)according to the plan，will definitely work out well．

答案：(it is)carried out　句意：我们坚信，这项工程如果按照计划实施的话会进展顺利。the project与carry out之间存在被动关系，故用过去分词置于if后作条件状语；if carried out．．．相当于一个一般现在时被动语态的条件句if it is carried out．．．的省略。

10．—I wonder ________ I can use your computer．

—I'm sorry．   It's being repaired．

答案：whether

Ⅴ．阅读理解

The  works  of  Shakespeare  and Wordsworth are “rocket­boosters (火箭助推器)” to the brain and better therapy than self­help books，researchers will say this week．

Scientists，psychologists (心理学家) and  English  academics  at  Liverpool University have found  that  reading the works of the Bard and other classical writers has a beneficial effect on the mind，catches the readers' attention and causes moments of self­reflection．

Using scanners(扫描仪)，they monitored the brain activity of volunteers as they read works by William Shakespeare，William Wordsworth，T．S Eliot and others．

They then “translated”  the texts into more “straightforward(通俗易懂的)”，modern language and again monitored the readers' brains as they read the words．

Scans showed that the more “challenging” prose (散文)and poetry set off far more electrical activity in the brain than the more pedestrian(通俗化) versions．

Scientists were able to study the brain activity as it responded to each word and record how it “lit up” as the readers encountered unusual words， surprising phrases or difficult sentence structure．

This “lighting up” of the mind lasts longer than the initial electrical spark，shifting the brain to a higher gear，encouraging further reading．

The research also found that reading poetry，in particular，increased activity in the right hemisphere (半球)of the brain，an area concerned with “autobiographical memory”，helping the reader to reflect on and reappraise their own experiences in light of what they have read． The academics said this meant the classics were more useful than self­help books．

Philip Davis，an English professor who has worked on the study with the university's magnetic resonance centre，will tell a conference this week： “Serious literature acts like a rocketbooster to the brain．”

The research shows the power of literature to shift mental pathways，to create new thoughts，shapes and connections in the young and the elderly alike．

文章大意：本文主要讲了阅读莎士比亚的作品和其他古典作家的作品可促进大脑发展。

1．How do classics such as Shakespeare and Wordsworth benefit the readers？

A．They set off far less electrical activity in the brain．

B．They light up the mind shorter than the initial electrical spark．

C．They shift physical pathways in the young and the elderly．

D．They  draw  readers'  attention  and  help  make  self examination．

答案：D　细节理解题。依据文章第二段“Scientists．．．moments of self reflection．”可知选D。

2．Why do they “translate” the texts into more “straightforward”，modern language？

A．To prove that classics are more useful than ordinary versions．

B．To show self­help books act like rocket­boosters to the brain．

C．To tell serious literature sets off far less electrical activity．

D．To make known ordinary versions set off more electrical activity．

答案：A　推理判断题。根据全文内容，尤其第五段“Scans showed that the more “challenging” prose and poetry set off far more．．．”可知选A。

3．What does the underlined word “encountered” probably mean in the passage？

A．found out                B．met with

C．learned about            D．knew about

答案：B　词义猜测题。根据第六段可知，科学家们能够研究大脑对每一个词语做出反应时的活动，并记录下读者在遇到生僻词语、新奇短语或复杂的句子结构时大脑如何“被激活”。根据语境可知该词意为“遇到，碰上”。

4．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？

A．Ordinary Versions Create New Thoughts

B．Modern Language Increases the Brain

C．Classics Help Improve the Brain Activity

D．Self­help Books，Rocket­boosters

答案：C　主旨大意题。综合全文可以发现：阅读莎士比亚及其他古典作家的作品对心智发展大有裨益。
