推敲 结合整篇 就可以确定所需词汇 值得注意的是 题目 提供的词中有两组形容词 副词的同根词 这就要求我们既要明白文章的意思 还得善用 所学的综合知识 第 1 题选 good 依句型这里需要形容词 看全文应是 好 第 2 题选 two 文章一开始就说 我们虽然不能阻止地震 但可以采取措施减少地震对城 市的破坏程度 如果那样的话 那么在地球板块与板块交界的地方建造房屋肯定不 是好办法 这是一个跨学科的问题 世界上已经发生的地震多数发生在地球板块 与板块交界的地方 科学家们称之为地震带 由此可见 要学好英语 还要学好其 他学科 第 3 题选 may 在这里表示猜测 假设 意思是 可能 第 4 题选 sand 沙地 与前面的 rocks 一词对应 这句话是说 如果你认为某个地 方可能要发生地震 最好是将房屋建筑在地质比较坚硬的地带 而不能建在地质松 的地带 比如像沙漠这样的地带就不能建造房屋 第 5 题选 strong 除地质条件外 将房屋建得 strong 牢固 些 也是减轻地震灾害的一 项重要措施 第 6 题选 stay up 在这里是 站立 矗立 的意思 与前面的 fall down 一词相对应 第 7 题选 afraid 因为旧金山这个城市就建在太平洋板块与美洲大陆板块交界的地带 环 太平洋地震带 所以说科学家们感到担心 害怕 第 8 题选 houses 科学家们之所以感到担心和害怕 是因为那里的人还在那里建造房屋 这正好与前面说的减轻地震灾害的方法相反 第 9 题选 now 与前面的 1906 年相对比 第 10 题选 if 文章最后小结提出假设 旧金山如果依旧那样的话 一旦有一天发生地震 后果将不堪设想 2 forget bring mend beside luck pick same differently I every

farmer Oh no I wouldn t 9 that The sparrows would have heard me and 10 my peas 1 called 2 didn t speak 3 and 4 idea 5 what 6 quietly 7 garden 8 heard 9 do 10 eaten 剖析 1 此题选 called 根据第一段讲的 一个农夫在河对岸看到一个老人在种什么东西 推理 当他想问河对岸河对岸这位老人在种什么时 就得大声喊 called out 2 这题选 didn t speak 因为从下文可知这位老人并没有立刻回答 3 这里需要并列连词 选 and 由上文得知老人没有急于回答 而是让他游过来 再告诉他 4 利用排除法 结合上下文的意思 可知此题选 idea 5 从上下文的意思及句子结构 可知此题选 what 6 从后面的 in his ear 可知说话的声音应该是悄悄地 所以选 quietly 7 从上下文可判断应是在 garden 里种东西 8 从这个农夫前一句话有 shouted 一词也知后面为 听 的意思 表示听的结果应 为 heard 9 根据上下文的意思 我不能那样做 选 do 10 此话表示如果我大声说话 麻雀会听到的 那么它就会来吃我的豌豆 虚拟语气 选 eaten 4 telephone

almost talks The policeman was getting tired Well then he said Why don t you put your 10 down Maybe she is trying to telephone you now 1 outside 2 for 3 so 4 lost 5 anybody 6 strong 7 well 9 clever 8 happier 10 telephone 剖析 1 从上下文可看出猫在外面 因此选 outside 2 look for 寻找 是固定搭配 所以选 for 3 从上下文判断表因果 所以选 so 4 从上下文判断找不到猫 所以是丢了 lost 5 在疑问句中应用不定代词 anybody 6 猫是一种生命力非常强的动物 所以选 strong 7 表示身体好当用 well 8 从上下文可以知道 Mrs Andrews 听了警察安慰她的话后 感觉好些了 所以选 happier 9 从后面一句的 She almost talks 可推断出她的猫 clever 10 联系上下文 Mrs Andrews 在打电话 所以警察让她放下电话 telephone 5 tell hear listen to guard drum much fly army with other way instruction Here are some old ways to sending messages An Egyptian 埃及人 put his ear to the ground He 1 the horses coming this way He ran to 2 his people He was a 3 That was one way for Egyptians to send messages

9 the soldier s message These are shown ways to send messages Can you think of more 10 1 heard 2 tell 3 guard 4 other 5 drum 6 more 7 flew 8 army 9 with 10 ways 剖析 1 他 听到 马朝这边跑来的声音 故选 heard 2 他跑去 告诉 他的人民 故选 tell 3 符合上下文要求 应该是放哨的人 guard 4 其他 国家的不特指 other 5 通过鼓来传递信号 drums 6 更何况 更不用说 much more 是固定搭配 所以选 more 7 常理 鸽子应是 飞 回来的 所以此题选 flew 8 根据士兵应属军队 这一题选 army 9 表示伴随 应用 带着 with 10 根据上文 推断这里是问 你能想出更多的 方法 吗 所以选 ways 6 before discover fast in come watch so fastly it ago shine not can Light travels at a speed 速度 which is about a million times 1 than that of sound 2 one second light travels about 300 000 kilometers but sound travels only 340 meters You can get some idea of this difference by 3 the start of a running match If you stand far away from the starter 发令员 you can see smoke 4 from his gun 5 the sound reaches your ears The fast speed of light produces some strange facts The nearest star is 6 far away that light which you can see from it tonight started to travel to you four years 7 at a

shining brightly tonight We have to say The stars look nice They were 10 four years ago but their light has just reached our earth 1 faster 2 In 3 watching 4 come 5 before 6 so 7 ago 8 its 9 cannot 10 shining 剖析 1 因为光的速度比声快 显然 than 之前应该用比较级 所以选 faster 2 承接上文 这里应该用 在 内 选 3 介词后应接动名词 表示观看比赛应用 watch 所以选 watching 4 see 后跟不带 to 的不等式 做宾语的补足语 即 see sb do 结构 因此 选 come 5 发令枪响时 在远处观看的人 先看到的是火光和烟 紧接着听到的才是枪声 选 before 6 引导一个表结果的状语从句 如此 以致于 so that 下文有 that 所以 这里应该用 so 7 由上下文判断这里应选 ago 8 开始 的旅程 on one s journey 是固定搭配 选 its 9 上文已告诉我们 有的星球离我们太远 它们的光线到达我们地球需要几年的时间 因而从科学的角度讲 我们不能说 今夜星光灿烂 选 cannot 10 根据上文可知 我们现在看到的光是几年前的发出的 应选 shining 7 happy interest problem never get away eye run tire have miss catch think A man was sitting in the doctor s office He was telling the doctor about his 1 I like football
