五、阅读与表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
After a game like football, the players might get an X-ray in the hospital if they hurt their legs or arms. A dentist can use X-rays to look at teeth. And airport workers use an X-ray machine to check objects before a plane leaves. Nowadays, X-ray technology is widely used in medicine and other fields.
X-rays were first discovered by a German scientist, Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (1845-1923). He found them quite by accident in 1895. One day, he discovered that an unknown kind of radiation(放射线) could hardly pass through hard objects like bones(骨头). Later, Röntgen took a photo of his wife's hand. It clearly showed her ring and her bones. That was the first X-ray photo in the world.
Why is there an "X" in the word X-ray? It's because Röntgen couldn't explain exactly how it worked. He just knew that X-rays were new and useful for science. In fact, X-rays soon became an important tool in medicine. With the help of X-rays, doctors could see inside the human body for the first time without surgery(外科手术).
Röntgen was awarded the first Nobel Prize (诺贝尔奖) in Physics in 1901 for his discovery. When he was asked what he was thinking at the moment of discovery, he replied, "I didn't think, I investigated(研究)." Röntgen gave away his Nobel Prize money to his university. And he never took out any patents(专利权) on X-rays, to make sure that the world could freely make use of his discovery.
回答下列问题,每题答案不超过8个词。
1. Where is X-ray technology used?
2. When were X-rays discovered?
3. Whose hand was in the first X-ray photo?
4. Why did Röntgen name the ray "X-ray"?
5. What do you think of Röntgen?

【分析】
做这类首字母缺词填空,首先第一步要通读全文,理清文章主旨:本文讲述互联网给生活带来诸多便利,但不少不会用电脑的老年人被落下,随后有慈善机构专门帮助老年人学习上网,给他们的生活带来积极改变。接下来解题时,优先结合空格前后的提示、首字母,联想对应的固定搭配,再结合上下文语义、语法规则判断正确形式,最后代入全文通读验证语句通顺即可。比如看到第一空后面的to these,结合前文列举的互联网的功能,很容易联想到表“除…之外还有”的固定搭配,再对应首字母a就能推出答案,其余空也可以按照“固定搭配+语义匹配+语法校验”的思路逐一推导。
【解析】
1. 考查固定短语,in addition to是固定表达,意为“除……之外(还有)”,符合语境:除了购物、和朋友聊天、查找问题答案这些用途之外,互联网还能让人们轻松看电影听音乐,因此填addition。
2. 考查固定搭配和被动语态,leave behind意为“落下、落后”,句中是现在进行时的被动结构are being done,因此leave要变为过去分词left,句意:一些老年人因为不会使用电脑正被落在时代后面,因此填left。
3. 考查语境理解和固定表达,全文围绕老年人学习使用互联网展开,get online是常用表达,意为“上网”,符合句意:现在有多家慈善机构帮助老年人上网,因此填online。
4. 考查名词复数,句意为“学习使用互联网能给他们的生活带来很多好处”,many后接可数名词复数,benefit表示“益处、好处”,复数形式为benefits,因此填benefits。
5. 考查一般现在时谓语动词,句意为“Paul Robinson运营这样一家名为Seniors Online的慈善机构”,主语是第三人称单数,一般现在时谓语动词用runs,表“经营、运营”,因此填runs。
6. 考查非谓语动词,固定结构spend time doing sth. 意为“花费时间做某事”,此处指过去Paul每周花几小时在图书馆帮助老年人使用互联网,help要变为动名词helping,因此填helping。
7. 考查固定短语,make a difference是高频固定搭配,意为“有影响、带来改变”,符合句意:这给他们的生活带来了很大的改变,因此填difference。
8. 考查固定搭配,move away意为“搬走、离开”,符合语境:当子女搬走后,老年人很容易变得孤独,因此填away。
9. 考查固定短语,make great progress是常用表达,意为“取得巨大进步”,progress是不可数名词,符合语境89岁的Betty上完课程后进步很大,因此填progress。
10. 考查固定表达,of one's age意为“属于某人这个年纪的”,句意为“我认为所有和我同龄的人都应该上这类课程”,因此填age。
【答案】
1. addition 2. left 3. online 4. benefits 5. runs 6. helping 7. difference 8. away 9. progress 10. age
