A weak B little C few D great答案与题解:答案与题解：1.A本题应选择attack，因为第一句说到：人们认为鲨鱼是a deadly enemy，也就是说鲨鱼会对人类造成伤害。第二句是对deadly enemy的具体说明。其他的三个选项meet，love，visit都不合适，love与上下文意思相反，meet和visit与上下文意思不符。2.C空格2所在的句子由but连接，所以该句子表达的意思一定与第二句相反。第二句对鲨鱼的评价是负面的，填入空格2的词应该是正面的。四个选项中只有valuable符合这一条件，所以是答案。3.B第三句说到鲨鱼有益于“waters and human beings”，第五句又说到鲨鱼濒临灭绝的危险。根据上下文的意思，threatening(威胁)到它们的应该是existence(生存)。其他的三个选项source，friends，fish都不合适，与上下文意思没有联系。4.D如果鲨鱼消失，从什么地方消失呢?当然从earth(地球)上消失。从space(宇宙空间)、sky(天空)中消失，或从land(陆地)上消失，都有悖常理。5.C四个选项的意思都是“因为“，但是从用法上分析，because、since和by reason that之后要接句子，because of之后接名词或名词短语。their warm waters是名词短语，所以要选用because of。6.D“people also swim”明显是定语从句，其先行词是表示地点的名词area，所以要选关系副词where.。7.B从上下文判断，本句的意思是：鲨鱼将人错认为是海洋动物。而“将错认为是”的英语表达是mistakefor，所以本题的答案是选项B。8.A本段的意思是：鲨鱼并非故意袭击人类。人们认为，由于鲨鱼将人错认为是海狮等海洋动物，在饥饿时才袭击人类。日出和日落时，正是鲨鱼饥肠辘辘的时候，人们不应该出海游泳。空格8填入的词应该与时间有关，所以times是答案，而与地点有关的选项(places seas和oceans)与上下文意思脱节。9.C本段第一、二句是说，鲨鱼的嗅觉特别灵敏，能嗅到海水中存在的极为微量的气味。举了三个物质：血、体液和化学品。空格9要填入表示物质的名词。四个选项中惟一表达物质的词是chemicals(化学品)。所以chemicals是答案，而其它三个选项与学科有关，脱离了上下文的意思，不是本题的答案。.B在第一、二句意思的基础上，进一步说明，灵敏的嗅觉有助于鲨鱼找到食物。所以本题的答案是选项D的senses，因为feelings，touches和tastes都与smells无关。.D 本句的中心词是复数的sharks，another所修饰的名词一般是单数，所以不会是答案。these和those是表特指的代词，指代前面出现过的名词。由于前面没有先行词，所以也不可能是答案。剩下的other是答案，any other sharks的说法也合乎英语的用法。.A从上下文判断，医学研究人员想要更多了解的是“身体抗病system(系统)”，不会是“身体抗病idea(思想)”、“身体抗病工作(work)”或“身体抗病circle(周期)”。.A本段最后一句的意思是：医学研究人员研究鲨鱼的目的是为了找到一种人类抗病的方法。所以空格l3所在句子的意思应该是recover(quickly from injuries)。科学家想要探索的应该是有关受伤鲨鱼recover quickly from injuries的秘密，而reform(改造)、return(
