根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Before going outside in the morning, many of us check a window thermometer(温度计)for the certain coldness in the refrigerator. We want it a certain hotness in the oven. If we don’t feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.

Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. We use a system called the Fahrenheit scale. But most other countries use the Centigrade scale.

The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury(水银)inside a clear glass tube. As mercury (or any other liquid ) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts(收缩). That First. Take a clear glass juice bottle that has a cap; fill the bottle with coloured water. Tap a hole in the center of the cap using a hammer and thick nail. Put the cap on the jar. Then stick a plastic straw(吸管) through the nail hole.

Finally. Place a white card on the outside of the bottle and behind the straw. Now you can see the water lever easily.

As the temperature goes down, the water will contract, and the lever in the straw will come down. Perhaps you will want to keep a record of the water lever in the straw each morning for a week. A. We use and depend on thermometers to measure the temperature of many other things in our daily lives. B. Thermometers measure temperature, by using materials that change in the same way when they are heated or cooled. C. Now that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own that will work. D. The water will rise in the straw. As the temperature of the air goes up, the water will expand and rise even higher. E. They label these in different ways. On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. On the Celsius scale water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100degrees. F. Take wax (you may use an old candle if you have one) and melt some of it right where the straw is struck into the cap to seal(把.. 粘住) them together. G. People use thermometers which are made by themselves when travelling around the world.

答案与解析:

71. A。从前面上下文意义可知温度计在我们日常生活中的功能，便可知道选择A 正确。 72. E。从上文可知―温度计分华氏标准和摄氏标准两种方式计量温度，‖选项E 进一步介绍了

这两种温度计量方式的具体标准。故正确答案是E 。

73. C。本段前一部分介绍了温度计的构造原理，下文根据此原理制造一个能够计量温度工作

的温度计。所以选项C 符合文意。

74. F。根据上下文的逻辑意义，选项F 是正确答案。 75. D。从下文可知应选与之对应的选项D 。

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make. One important question that you might ask yourself is: ―How do I get a good job?‖___

There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and land the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all. Still others believe that the in person, door-to-door approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them. His father was a farmer, and being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream. One day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick. Without stopping to think, the lad（少年）offered to take his place. （考虑） his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance. It is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well.

Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to land plum jobs（美差）. When you go for a job interview or fill out an application, you are expected to say nice become general manger of the company. A. This story also illustrates the importance of seizing an opportunity when it presents itself. B. People find jobs in an infinite number of ways. C. it’s almost impossible to find a good job by answering advertisement in newspapers D. Take for example the young man who wanted to be a sailor. E. But there was one person who landed an excellent job by telling the interviewer all the

company’s faults.

F. He spent the rest of his life happily sailing the ships he had always loved. G. It is very important to seize an opportunity when it presents itself.

答案与解析:

71. B。根据上下文，选项B 符合逻辑意义。

72. D。从此空的前后文可以很容易地看出，空后是对空前观点的例解。故选D 。 73. F。根据故事叙述，选项F 是对所举事例的总结语。

74.A 。此空后面是对所举故事的进一步分析，选项A 是此段的论点。

75. E。从此短的论点―Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem

to land plum jobs‖便能看出，只有选与此空前面的观点相反的选项E ，才能和后面的结果相符合。
