A．located; covered B．locating; covering C．located; covering D．locating; covered
答案：C 考查非谓语动词。句意：四川省位于中国西南，占地四百八十五万平方公里，人口最多，是中国最大最闭塞的省份。第一空be located in“位于”，locate与Sichuan Province构成逻辑上的动宾关系，所以用过去分词；第二空Sichuan Province与cover构成逻辑上的主谓关系，所以用-ing形式。
4．I turned ________ and looked out of the window. A．out B．off C．over D．away
答案：D turn away转过身去，拒绝；turn out结果是；turn off关闭；turn over打翻，翻阅。句意：我转过身并且向窗外看。故选D。
5．We were short of water but could ________ another day. A．hold out B．hold out for C．hold out on D．hold on
答案：B 句意：我们缺少水但还能维持一天。hold out for another day中，hold out此处意为“维持”，for是介词接时间段表示持续一段时间。A项缺少介词for；C项，“拒绝提供”；D项“等一会，不挂断”，均不合题意。
6．________ I received his letter I went to see him. A．Direct B．Directly C．Directions D．Moment
答案：B 句意：我一收到他的信，就去看他了。空处缺少连词，而directly可充当连词使用相当于as soon as，故答案为B项。D项中若moment前面加the，也是正确选项。
7．The part ________ religion was very great. A．played in B．taken in C．played by D．taken by
答案：C 句意：宗教所起的作用是巨大的。play the part表示起作用，religion是动作的执行者，故答案为C。

答案：D possess“占有，拥有”，既可指某人对某物具有所有权和支配权，又可指具有才华、特点、品质、性格等；own“拥有”，强调拥有某物，不能用于抽象含义；contain“包含，容纳”，强调包含于某一事物中；hold握住，持有，强调有力地控制或保持。根据题意选D。

A voyage to Timbuktu in a flying car may sound like a magical childhood fantasy. But this week a British adventurer will set off from London on an incredible journey through Europe and Africa, traveling by road and air.
With the help of a parachute and a giant fan motor, Neil Laughton plans to fly over the Pyrenees near Andorra, before taking to the skies again to jump across the 14-km Straits of
Gibraltar. Neil Laughton then aims to fly over the Atlas Mountains in Morocco, above the Sahara Desert and, well, wherever else the road runs out.
But forget Chitty Chitty Bang Bang this flying machine is based on proven technology. Designed by a 29-year-old British inventor, the Skycar enables its driver to pilot the vehicle at the
mere touch of a button. The team behind it calls the Skycar the world's first road legal biofuelled (生物燃料的) flying car.
Mr. Laughton's destination is the west African country of Mali and its city of Timbuktu, a place which has had a mystical (神秘的), “middle of nowhere” reputation since the Victorian exploration.
The 42-day expedition will pass 4, 000 miles through France, Spain and Morocco, head into
the Sahara by way of Mauritania and Mali, before returning home via Senegal. He had also hoped to make the 22-mile flight across the English Channel, but that plan was forbidden by civil
aviation officials.
Even Mr. Laughton—who has climbed the highest mountains on seven continents and made a difficult journey at the North Pole—admits his latest “boy's own” adventure is a little strange. He's been dreaming of creating a flying car since childhood.
“The inspiration came from realizing we can drive and we can fly, so why can't we do both? The problem all along has been the wing technology, which we think we've cracked with the Skycar，” he said.
Sadly some areas on his route are not good and so he must be careful.

A new system that scans customers' fingerprints and subtracts the grocery bill from bank accounts has taken supermarkets in Germany by storm. Stores, school canteens and even bars are picking it up.
The Edeka supermarket chain is the first retail business in Germany to use the new system. “Almost a quarter of our customers pay with their fingers，” said an employee at the headquarters. Edeka has tried the system at 70 of its supermarkets. It says it will introduce it at 200 others because customers like it.
“At first we thought that only the young who really keep up with the latest technology would be interested, but we were wrong，” said Stefan Sewoester from IT Werke. “Almost two-thirds of the people who use the system are 40 and older，”he said.
IT Werke, a computer company, is one of the pioneers of fingerprint payment software in Germany. It has helped about 150 shops, canteens and bars to put in the fingerprint scanning machines. Each costs about 2, 000 euros.
To sign up for the service, customers must have their fingerprints taken and leave their addresses and banking details with the shop. The shop then takes the cost of goods directly out of the customer's bank account.
“It is especially a good thing for elderly people. Now they do not have to remember their code to pay with their bank cards, or to scratch around for their glasses or cash.” Swoester said.
The stores benefit from the system too. It saves more than time in the check-out line. It also
cuts out the hidden costs of accepting electronic card payments.

8．To apply to pay with fingers, customers are required to do all of the following except ________.
A．have their fingerprints taken B．leave their addresses
C．have their phones connected with computers
D．give the shop information about the bank accounts

9．Why do elderly people benefit much from the fingerprint machine? A．They don't like to pay in cash. B．They are always forgetful.
C．They will spend less time on shopping. D．They always fail to find their bank cards. 答案：B 由文章第六段可知答案为B。
10．What do we know by inference from the passage?
A．Fewer shops will try the new software because of the cost. B．IT Werke should be the largest computer company in Germany. C．The new service requires certain personal information. D．The new change in payment only benefits elderly people.
答案：C 细节理解题。通读文章可知，A、D两项明显错误；B项的IT Werke为最早研发指纹付款系统的公司之一，未提到是最大的公司；由第五段可知C项正确。
