Ⅱ.完成句子
1．He is a fugitive from justice trying to avoid ______________(被警察抓住)．(catch)

答案：being caught by the police
2．Do tell me the ways you think of ________________(解决这个问题)as soon as possible.(solve)

答案：to solve the problem
3．Seldom ________________(他们玩)video games ever since they entered college.(play)
解析：考查倒装和动词时态。否定词置于句首谓语要倒装，由ever since可知，本句是完成时态，故提取have。
答案：have they played
4．The two old sisters，________________(被分隔了很长时间)，held each other and burst into tears. (separate)

5．The professor could hardly find sufficient grounds on ________________(支撑)his argument in favor of the new theory.(base)
解析：语境词汇“用理论来支撑他的论点”可表达为base his argument on his grounds；on提前后只能用不定式to base来修饰grounds，并且要用定语关联词which指代grounds。本句还可以转述成定语从句：...sufficient grounds on which he could base...
答案：which to base/which he could base
6．__________(暴露在阳光下)for too much time will do harm to one’s skin.(expose)

答案：Being exposed in the sun
7．At the thought of the progress in English __________(他已取得的)，he will think of the strict and kind teacher.(progress)

8．________________(靠近市中心时)，we saw a stone statue of about 10 meters in height.(approach)

9．The country life he was used to ________________(变化) greatly since 2000.(change)

答案：has changed
10．She was the first athlete ________________(获得金牌的) in the 29th Olympic Games.(win)

(2011年广东惠州第三次调研)A new study suggests that the more teenagers watch television，the more likely they are to develop depression(抑郁) as young adults.But the extent to which TV may be to blame is a question that the study leaves unanswered.
The researchers used a national longterm survey of adolescent health to investigate the relationship between media use and depression.They based their findings on more than 4,000 adolescents who were not depressed when the survey began in 1995.
As part of the survey，the young people were asked how many hours of television or videos they watched daily.They were also asked how often they played computer games and listened to the radio.
Media use totaled an average of 5 and onehalf hours a day.More than 2 hours of that was spent watching TV.
7 years later，in 2002，more than 7 percent of the young people had signs of depression.The average age at that time was 21.
Brian Primack at the University of Pittsburgh Medical School was the lead author of the new study.He says every extra hour of television meant an 8 percent increase in the chances of developing signs of depression.
The researchers say they did not find any such relationship with the use of other media such as movies，video games or radio.But the study did find that young men were more likely than young women to develop depression given the same amount of media use.
Doctor Primack says the study did not explore why watching TV causes depression.But one possibility，he says，is that it may take time away from activities that could help prevent depression，like sports and socializing.It might also interfere with sleep，he says，and that could have an influence.
The study was just published in the Archives of General Psychiatry.
In December，the journal Social Indicators Research published a study of activities that help lead to happy lives.Sociologists from the University of Maryland found that people who describe themselves as happy spend less time watching television than unhappy people.The study found that happy people are more likely to be socially active，to read，to attend religious services and to vote.
【解题导语】 看电视和抑郁症之间，究竟有着什么样的关系呢？看看文中是怎么说的。
1．According to the first paragraph，what remains unsolved in the new study?
A．Who is more likely to be influenced by TV.
B．How much teenagers are depressed by TV.
C．Whether teenagers are influenced by TV.
D．What should be done to help the teenagers.
解析：选B。细节理解题。由文章第一段的内容可知，有研究表明青少年看电视越多，越容易得抑郁症。但是，电视要为此负多大责任呢？该研究并没有明确回答，故答案为B。
2．More than 4,000 adolescents were chosen as the subjects of the study because they __________.
A．were free from depression
B．were keen on using the media
C．attached much importance to their health
D．could afford the time for the long－term survey
解析：选A。细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“They based their findings on more than 4,000 adolescents who were not depressed when the survey began.in 1995.”，可知只有这些青少年没有抑郁症，才对他们跟踪调查，观察日后因为看电视得抑郁症的几率。
3．What can be inferred from the seventh paragraph?

B．Every extra hour of media use increases the chance of depression.
C．Longer use of media other than TV doesn’t increase the chance of depression.

4．In the last sentence of the eighth paragraph，“It”refers to __________.
A．depression B．watching TV
C．lack of activities D．the result of the study

5．The study done by the sociologists from the University of Maryland was mainly intended to __________.
A．tell the difference between happy and unhappy people
B．prove the relationship between TV and depression
