完成这类语篇的难点，就是比较细致的修辞手段，稍不留心，也可能选错。此外，这个语篇本身确实不长，但选项所使用的词汇量居然超过文章本身的词汇量，总词汇量达到68个单词，位居2004年高考各省市试卷的前茅，因此，在确定选项时，可能颇费时间，在仅有的17分钟左右的限定时间内，必然会有不少失误。如： 1．A．thought to have lost B．considered to be dead C．given in for lost D． given up for lost这四个选项，既有词汇用法辨析，更有内容情景因素的考虑。还有对于被寻找的人的命运结果的预测，同样要求多作对比和斟酌。如： 16．A．can have B．could have C．shall have D． should have 17．A．taken home B．found and hidden C．harmed and poisoned D． torn to pieces 18．A．caught B．hurt C．harmed D． killed 16空着重用法辨析，17空则要求理解上下文，而18空的用法辨析之重点在于“程度”上，人们担心的究竟是什么？显然是最坏的结果。 |

The modern sailing ship was developed by a man who never went to sea. He was Prince Henry of Portugal, the younger son of the Portuguese King and an English Princess.
Prince Henry lived in the fifteenth century. As a boy he became devoted to the sea and he dedicated himself to improving the design of ships and the methods of sailing them. In 1416, when he was twenty-two, Henry founded a school for mariners, to which he invited everyone who could help him-Jewish astronomers, Halian and Spanish sailor, and Arab mathematicians and mapmakers who knew how to use the crude compass of the day and could improve it.
Henry's goal was to design and equip vessels that would be capable of making long ocean voyage without having to keep close to the shore. The caravel, which he helped design, carried more sails and was longer and slimmer than any ship was made, yet was tough enough to stand up against gales at sea. He also developed the carrack, which was a slower ship, but one that was capable of carrying more goods.
The world owes credit to Henry for the development of craft (工艺) that made oceanic exploration possible. He lives in history as Henry the navigator.
1．Prince Henry started his school for the purpose of ________.
[ ]
A．helping mariners
B．improving ship design and sailing methods
C．studying astronomy and mathematics
D．improving his own skill as a sailor
2．Prince Henry's goal was to design vessels that could ________.
[ ]
A．make long deep sea voyage
B．travel faster than those in use at that time
C．explore the coastline of Portugal
D．carry larger crews and more goods
3．Compared with his caravel, Henry's carrack was ________.
[ ]
A．longer and slimmer
B．able to carry more sails
C．able to carry more goods
D．shorter
4．Prince Henry's main achievement was that of ________.
[ ]
A．making oceanic exploration possible
B．improving the compass
C．founding a school for mariners
D．inventing caravel and carrack
5．The best title for this selection is ________.
[ ]
A．The First Modern Sailing Vessels
B．The Mariner Prince
C．Prince Henry's Role in the History of Ship-building
D．The First School for Sailors

Holding a cell phone against your ear or stalling it in your pocket may be hazardous to your health．
This paraphrases a warning that cell phone; manufacturers include in the small print that is often tossed aside when a new phone is purchased．Apple, for example, doesn't want iP hones to come closer to you than 1．5 centimeters; Research In Motion, Blackberry's manufacturer, recommends 2.5 centimeters．
If health issues arise from cell phone use, the implications are huge．Voice calls - Americans chat on cell phones 2．26 trillion minutes annually - generate $109 billion for the wireless carriers．
Devra Davis, an epidemiologist who has worked for the University of Pittsburgh, has published a book about cell phone radiation, "Disconnect." The book surveys scientific research and concludes the question is not settled.
Brain cancer is a concern that Ms. Davis examines. Over all, there has not been an increase in its incidence since cell phones arrived. But the average masks an increase in brain cancer in the 20-to-29 age group and a drop for the older population.
"Most cancers have multiple causes," she says, but she points to laboratory research that suggests low-energy radiation could damage cells that could possibly lead to cancer.
Children are more vulnerable to radiation than adults, Ms. Davis and other scientists point out. Radiation that penetrates only five centimeters into the brain of an adult will reach much deeper into the brains of children because their skulls are thinner and their brains contain more absorptive fluid. No studies have yet been completed on cell phone radiation and children, she says.
Henry Lai, a research professor in the bioengineering department at the University of Washington, began laboratory radiation studies in 1980 and found that rats exposed to radiofrequency radiation had damaged DNA in their brains.
Ms. Davis recommends using wired headsets or the phone's speaker. Children should text rather than call, she said, and pregnant women should keep phones away from the abdomen.
We can infer from the passage that________．
A．Cell phone may do harm to our health if we hold it against our ear or store in our pocket
B．Devra Davis thinks that there are many factors contributing to cancer．
C．The increase in brain cancer in the young adults may have something to do with cell phone
D．Children are more likely to be affected by radiation
According to the passage, how could children avoid being hurt by cell phone radiation?
A．They can keep cell phones away from the abdomen．
B．They can send short massage instead of making phone calls directly．
C．They can pay more attention to the small print on the phone．
D．They should use more advanced cell phones．
From this passage we can learn that．________．
A．American cell phone manufacturers did not give any warning to their customers
B．American cell phone manufacturers benefit greatly from their products
C．Scientists have found the connection between brain cancer and ceil phone
