速测(十三) 完形+阅读C+D+词汇运用(限时:25分钟)Ⅰ.完形填空Galileo was an Italian scientist. But in the books of Japanese writer Higashino Keigo(东野圭吾), Galileo is a detective. His 1 name is Manabu Yukawa and works at a university as a physics professor. Yukawa is as 2 as Galileo the scientist and has great talent for detection. So his old schoolmate Kusanagi, who is now a police officer, often asks him for 3 to solve hard cases.Yukawa is a quiet person but sometimes can also be cold. He is only interested in 4 . So when Kusanagi comes to him for help, he usually shows 5 interest. But when he finds there could be science behind the case, he becomes very 6 .While solving a case, Yukawa usually makes 7 use of his physics and maths knowledge. Sometimes he may even do 8 to prove(证明) his thoughts.Most cases 9 Yukawa solves seem supernatural(超自然的) and impossible. The first case that Manabu Yukawa takes is such a case. A young man died 10 burns to the head while partying at night. Police believe it to be a(n) 11 caused by firecrackers(爆竹). But Yukawa doesn't think it could be that 12 . He finds something that reminds him that lasers(激光) can also burn things. After some experiments, he proves his 13 —it was a high-tech murder(高科技谋杀) that used mirrors and a laser.Besides his high IQ, Yukawa is also tall and handsome. 14 , he is not very good at dealing with people, especially with kids and women. He thinks they can't think in a logical(逻辑的) way.

But have you ever wondered the reason why people speak Spanish in so many South American countries? Do you know why the brilliant footballers of Brazil speak Portuguese? And why is French the first language of some people in Canada? The answer is that all these countries belonged to European empires at one time. The next question is: How did these empires begin? To answer that question we have to probably go back to the 15th and 16th centuries, the golden age of European explorers.Although this period is known as the golden age of European explorers, it was not the beginning of European exploration. As you probably know, Marco Polo travelled a long way to China at the end of the 13th century and some people say that the Vikings discovered America long before Columbus set sail in 1492. However, it is during this “golden” period that some famous voyages took place. Columbus' voyage to America is the best known voyage of exploration, but Ferdinand Magellan sailed round the world in this period, and Spanish explorers such as Cortez and Pizarro reached South America. Cortez defeated the Aztecs in what we now know as Mexico and Pizarro defeated the Incas in what we now know as Peru. The roots of the Spanish empire were established and that is why the Spanish language is so widely spoken in Central and South America today.1.When is the golden age of European explorers?

People gather around a ball, but their reactions (反应) often go beyond the object.It was a terribly hot summer day when the group of us appeared on the basketball court. Silently, we teamed up and played, as always. The sun was a big “squeezer (挤压者)”, as it not only squeezed out of us sweat(汗水) and energy, but also our unhappy feelings. Body contact became more and more often, and we could all feel the attacks of elbows (肘部). After another round of game, one of the players and I fell to the ground at the same time. From his burning eyeballs, I could see a fight was almost unavoidable.It suddenly came to me that my tins of Cola were lying on the ground, about an inch away from me. “Buddy, hot down here. What about a drink?” I said to him.Carefully I rolled (滚动) one to him, looking at him in the eyes with my most sincere (真诚的) expression on the face. “I guess I'm quite fine. Lucky no broken bones or we'll end up in the hospital!” I said.Other players watching nearby all laughed. I could clearly see some movements on his face. My humour did work! He picked the Cola up, tried to open it, and walked over. As he passed by my side, he held out his left hand, and smiled at me. I smiled back, took his hand, and gave him a light shake.A gentle wind caught me on the face as I returned to the basketball court. The sun continued to provide warmth for us.
