参考解析
解析：根据第四题的分析得出，该句表达的意思是，“在实验室中做什么并不重要”，因此，使用固定搭配It didn’t matter…。本题考查了It doesn’t/didn’t matter…意为“……不重要”，其中it为形式主语，真正的主语为后面的从句。其它三个干扰选项都能与空前的It did not连用。其中A、C为及物动词，如果填入空格，后面的what从句只能做宾语，这样一来句首的it应该有所指；但在上下文中，找不到能衔接上下文的it所指代的对象，故排除这两项。D项work意为“起作用”时，为不及物动词，但填入后不符合上下文语义，故也排除。所以本题的正确答案为B。

Questions 105-109 refer to the following e-mail.To: Bertrand Fournier, Plant manager b_fournier@dawson.comFrom: John Reynolds, Industrial production manager j_reynolds@dawson.comRe: Valbonne, France plantDate: January 13Dear Mr. Fournier,Thank you for your e-mail requesting that our engineers from London examine your chocolate productiori plant in Valbonne again next month. All of us at Dawson corporate headquarters appre-ciate your factory's desire to manufacture the finest chocolate, and we want to provide a supportteam to ensure that this is possible. Before we schedule a trip for Edith Singh and Barry Weinstein to visit your plant again. I have a few questions in regard to the production problems you men-tioned. First, I was wondering when the refrigeration unit was inspected last. Some Dawson plants in Geneva and Warsaw recently reported problems with their refrigeration systems, so I suggest that the temperature of the refrigerators during the cooling phase be checked. Second, do you think it is necessary for Ms. Singh and Mr. Weinstein to stay in Valbonne an entire week?I believe their examination could be completed within two days.Please let me know your views on these issues. I look forward to hearing from you.Regards,John ReynoldsTo: John Reynolds, Industrial production manager j_reynolds@dawson.comFrom: Bertrand Fournier, Plant manager b_fournier@dawson.comRe: Valbonne, France plantDate: January 15Dear Mr. Reynolds,Thank you for your reply. In response to your questions, we have carefully examined all of our equipment and the entire production process, from the grinding of the cocoa beans to the pressing of the chocolate. The refrigerators are cooling the product at the appropriate temperature, but we are still producing chocolate that is too bitter. We believe the problem may be either in the grind-ing or roasting of the cocoa beans, but we need your engineers to verify our suspicion. As to the duration of the engineers' visit, you may be correct. They do not need to stay a week in Valbonne,but I would suggest they stay at least three days.Please confirm the dates of February 12～14 for their trip.Regards, Bertrand FournierWhy is Mr. Reynolds writing to Mr. Fournier?A.To request that Mr. Fournier visit LondonB.To clarify details of an upcoming tripC.To accept a position at Mr. Fournier's companyD.To express dissatisfaction with a recent plant inspection

共用题干第三篇Citizen ScientistsUnderstanding how nature responds to climate change will require monitoring key life cycle events一 flowering,the appearance of leaves and the first frog calls of the spring一all around the world.But ecologists can't be everywhere so they're turning to non-scientists,sometimes called citizen scientists,for help.Climate scientists are not present everywhere.Because there are so many places in the world and not enough scientists to observe all of them,they're asking for your help in observing signs of climate change across the world.The citizen scientist movement encourages ordinary people to observe a very specificresearch interest一birds,trees,flowers budding,etc.and send their observations to a giant database to be observed by professional scientists.This helps a small number of scientists track a large amount of data that they would never be able to gather on their own.Much like citizen journalists helping large publications cover a hyper-local beat,citizen scientists are ready for the conditions where they live in.All that's needed to become one is a few minutes each day or each week to gather data and send them in.A group of scientists and educators launched an organization last year called the National Phenology Network."Phenology"is what scientists call the study of the timing of events in nature.One of the group's first efforts relies on scientists and non-scientists alike to collect data about plant flowering and leafing eveiy year.The program,called Project BudBurst,collects life cycle data on a variety of common plants from across the United States.People participating in the project一which is open to every- one一record their observations on the Project BudBurst website."People don't have to be plant experts一they just have to look around and see what's in their neighbor- hood,"says Jennifer Schwartz,an education consultant with the project."As we collect these data,we'll be able to make an estimate of how plants and communities of plants and animals will respond as the climatechanges."What are citizen scientists asked to do?A:To develop a specific research interest and become professional scientists.B:To send their research observations to a professional database.C:To increase their knowledge about climate change.D:To keep a record of their research observations.

问答题Practice 2 Until early in this century, the isolationist tendency prevailed in American foreign policy. Then two factors projected America into world affairs: its rapidly expanding power, and the gradual collapse of the international system centered on Europe, the watershed presidencies marked this progression: Theodore Roosevelt’s and Woodrow Wilson’s. These men held the reins of government when world affairs were drawing a reluctant nation into their vortex. Both recognized that America had a crucial role to play in world affairs though they justified its emergence from isolation with opposite philosophies. Roosevelt was a sophisticated analyst of the balance of power. He insisted on an international role for America because its national interest demanded it, and because a global balance of power was inconceivable to him without American participation. For Wilson, the justification of America’s international role was messianic: America had an obligation, not to the balance of power, but to spread its principles throughout the world. During the Wilson’s Administration, America emerged as a key player in world affairs, proclaiming principles which, while reflecting the truisms of American though, nevertheless marked a revolutionary departure for Old World diplomats. These principles held that peace depends on the spread of democracy, that states should be judged by the same ethical criteria as individuals, and that the national interest consists of adhering to a universal system of law.
