【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是根据加拿大英属哥伦比亚大学和美国马里兰大学的科学家们的研

究，穿越时空在数学上是可能的。

【1题详解】

考查定语从句。句意：在一份名为Tardis的报告中，他们描述了一种时间旅行的方式，即使用一种由特殊

材料制成的机器，Tardis是向神秘博士的警亭宇宙飞船致敬。空格处引导的是定语从句，关系词在从句中

作状语，先行词是way,空格处用关系代词that,故填that。

【2题详解】

考查宾语从句。句意：为了理解这些科学家提出的理论，我们首先需要回到100多年前。空格处引导的是

宾语从句，从句中缺少宾语，句子表示“为了理解这些科学家提出的理论”，因此空格处用what引导宾

语从句，故填what。

【3题详解】

考查时态，语态和主谓一致。句意：AlbertEinstein的广义相对论发表于1915年，解释了光的路径是如何

受到行星和恒星等具有巨大引力的大质量物体的影响的。光的路径是被影响，句子用被动语态，且句子描

述客观事实，因此空格处是一般现在时的被动语态，主语"thepathoflight”是单数，因此空格处是is

affected□故填isaffected,

【4题详解】

考查连词。句意：如果你把一个网球放在边缘附近，它会滚向你，直到它到达你的脚。根据语境可知，句

子表示“如果你把一个网球放在边缘附近，它会滚向你，直到它到达你的脚”，空格处意为“直到”，用

till/until引导时间状语从句,故填till/until.

【5题详解】

考查介词。句意：你就像一颗行星：蹦床的凹陷就像时空的曲线；网球是绕着地球运动的光。由“thedip

inthetrampolineislikethecurveinspace-time”可知，空格处用like,句子表示“你就像一颗行星”。故填

like-

【6题详解】

考查时态。句意：爱因斯坦理论中最有趣的部分之一是时间会随着人的速度而变化。由“dependingonhow

fastapersonistravelling"可知，句子表示“爱因斯坦理论中最有趣的部分之一是时间会随着人的速度而变

化”，空格后是动词原形，空格处用助动词，表示“将会”，构成一般将来时，由"istravelling"可知，

空格处用will,故填will。

【7题详解】

考查比较级。句意：他认为，如果有人在太空中以光速旅行，那么与站在地球上不动的人相比，他们的时

间会过得更慢。由"comparedwithsomeonestandingstillonEarth”可知，句子表示“如果有人在太空中以

光速旅行，那么与站在地球上不动的人相比，他们的时间会过得更慢”，空格处用比较级moreslowly。故

填moreslowly,

【8题详解】

考查时态。句意：虽然这听起来不可能，但科学家们用精确的时钟做了实验，发现这是真的。由“and

found”可知，空格处所在句子时态是一般过去时，空格处用过去式，故填experimented。

【9题详解】

考查状语从句。句意：虽然科学是正确的，但研究人员说不太可能有人能做到。根据语境可知，句子表示

“虽然科学是正确的，但研究人员说不太可能有人能做到”，空格处意为“虽然，尽管”，用

although/though/while,引导让步状语从句，位于句首，首字母大写，故填Although/Though/While。

【10题详解】

考查状语从句。句意：研究人员之一BenTippett说：“虽然在数学上是可行的，但目前还不可能建造一台

时空机器，因为我们需要材料一一我们称之为奇异物质一一以这些不可能的方式弯曲时空，但它们还没有

被发现。“由ismathematicallyfeasiblew和**itisnotyetpossibletobuildaspace-timemachinew可知,

句子表示“虽然在数学上是可行的，但目前还不可能建造一台时空机器”，空格处意为“虽然”，是

although/though/while,引导让步状语从句，位于句首，首字母大写，故填Although/Though/While。
