Ⅲ.阅读理解
Nuclear radiation from power plant leaks and bomb tests resulted in millions of fewer baby girls born worldwide, according to a new study.
Scientists noted these types of atmospheric blasts rather than ontheground incidents like Chernobyl(切尔诺贝利), effected birth gender across the globe.
Scientists at Helmholtz Zentrum München, Germany, analysed population data from 1975 to 2007 for the U．S. and 39 European countries.
There was an increase in the number of baby boys relative to girls in all of the countries from 1964 to 1975. This was the case in many eastern European countries for several years after 1986.
Scientists are putting the first spike down to the atomic bomb tests of the 1960s and 1970s where radioactive atoms were blasted into the atmosphere. Air currents caught these atoms and then distributed them around the world.
They think the second spike is due to the 1986 Chernobyl disaster in which the reactor exploded in the Ukraine(乌克兰)．
The effects of Chernobyl were felt locally and no effect was seen in the U．S., probably because it was too far from the disaster to have an effect.
“The closer the country was to Chernobyl, the stronger the effect，” said study coauthor Hagen Scherb, a biostatistician(生物统计学家) at the German Research Center for Environmental Health in Munich.
More males were born relative to females in Belarus—the Ukraine's neighbour—than in France.
The study is based largely on Cold Warera statistics, but the findings are highly relevant for how gender could be affected after future nuclear disasters.
And in the wake of Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident experts are predicting another baby boy boom could come, especially on the U．S. West Coast.
Previous radiation experiments on animals may give a clue for the increase in male births. Tests showed that radiation caused damage to the X chromosome(染色体) in sperm, Dr Scherb said.
A human sperm cell contains either an X or Y chromosome, while an egg only has an X chromosome. An XY combination will become a boy, while an XX combination will be a girl.
36．How many nuclear radiation accidents are mentioned in the passage?
A．1.B．2.C．3.D．4.
37．Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．The ontheground incidents like Chernobyl, effected birth gender across the globe.
B．There was an increase in the number of baby boys in many eastern European countries for several years after 1986.
C．The Japan's nuclear accident will not effect the birth gender of the U．S. because of the long distance.
D．Where radioactive material has spread, women can't give birth to children.
38．How does radiation effect birth gender?
A．It damages the Y chromosome in sperm.
B．It stops X chromosomes and Y chromosomes combining.
C．It kills baby girls before they are born.
D．It damages the X chromosome in sperm.
39．What does the passage mainly tell us?
A．Nuclear age has led to millions of fewer baby girls being born.
B．Nuclear radiation has bad effects upon people's health.
C．Worries about radiation risks.
D．Nuclear age helps reduce the world population.

答案
课时作业(四)
Ⅰ.1.B 句意为：海军中的一员在四天后被救了。这里只是对过去事实的描述，所以用一般过去时。
2．C 在交际用语中考查分隔式定语从句的引导词。代替指人的先行词All the storytellers，在从句中作主语，所以用who。
3．A the number of “……的数量”，修饰可数名词，谓语动词用单数；a number of “许多，很多”，后接可数名词复数形式，作主语时谓语动词用复数。
4．D 句意：我们不能在饭店吃午餐，因为没有一个人带钱。这里要用完全否定，故选D项。A、B项都是部分否定；C项形式不对。
5．B 考查交际用语。根据答语的后一句可知答话人认为对方虽然在考试中得了第一名，但是名不副实，此处come on意为“得了吧”，表示知道某人所说的话不正确，符合语境。
6．B 考查交际用语。对方的队要和别人进行比赛，说话人应表示良好的祝愿，因此用Good luck。
7．C 考查定语从句的用法。句意：毕业后我想找一份能把我在学校学的知识用上的工作。在这里a job是先行词，I can use what I have learnt at school是定语从句，在定语从句中缺少地点状语in the job。故选C项。
8．B 考查名词辨析。这几个词中只有event可以作“比赛项目”讲。句意为：校运动会下个月就要举行了，你打算报名参加哪些项目呢？
9．B 考查名词辨析。句意为：他的突然发怒，使会议不愉快地结束了。burst在这里强调的是感情的突然释放或突然迸发。干扰项express作名词时，意为“快车，快递”，没有“表情”之意。
10．B congratulate sb. on (doing)sth 表示“祝贺某人某事”，其中介词 on 不能换成介词for。
11．D 考查时态和语态。句意为：被困在河里五个小时，小偷看上去很苍白无望。be trapped in…“被困在……”。从主句的时态和整个语境看，此处应用过去完成时的被动语态。
12．D 考查副词辨析。high表示具体高度； highly则表示抽象意义，此处二者均为副词。句意为：尽管他左十岁时就残疾了，然而他目标很高，他的同学对此评价很高。
13．B 考查judge的用法。judging from…是固定用法，常用作插入语。句意为：根据他所说的话判断，他一定是一个诚实的人。
14. B 考查名词辨析和常用搭配。keep track of为固定短语，表示“跟踪，追踪，了解”。
15．D 考查交际用语。问句问的是对玛丽的新书的看法，故排除B、C；结合第二句答语可知，Very boring “非常乏味”适合作答语。
Ⅱ.汶川地震发生后，来自世界150多个国家的驻华使节和国际组织代表陆续抵达外交部，在吊唁簿上签名留言，向中国政府和人民表示深切同情和诚挚慰问，对地震中的罹难者表示沉痛哀悼，还表达了他们对中国政府、军队以及中国人民对抗震救灾的支持。我驻外使馆也开展了一系列悼念活动。除了慰问外，国际组织还进行了捐款。
16．A 由上文的“a book of condolences(吊唁簿)”和下文的“the national mourning(全国哀悼)”可以看出，这里要表达的意思是：各国外交使节到外交部对地震中的罹难者表示沉痛哀悼。victim意思是“牺牲者，罹难者”。the wounded(受伤者)有很大的干扰性，但不符合上下文语境。
