综合检测(四)1．A句意：最近一些药物中发现了一种对人体有害的工业用胶。beharmfulto对……有害。2．C句意：看着这糟糕的考试成绩，她相当泄气，对未来感到迷茫。surprising令人吃惊的；puzzling令人迷惑的；puzzled迷惑的，迷惘的；surprised吃惊的。feelpuzzledabout对……感到迷惑/迷惘。3．C句意为“当姚明出现在机场的时候，等在那里的人们都欢呼起来”。bringup“养育，抚养”；growup“长大”；cheerup“使振奋(兴奋)，欢呼”；turnup“出现”。由句意可知，答案为C项。4．D从语境可知，问句要表达的意思是“你相信上帝真的存在吗？”exist意为“存在”。has作为实义动词，意为“有”，为及物动词，后须跟宾语；stay与remain作为不及物动词，分别意为“停留”和“剩余”。5．B句意：有些植物吸入我们呼出的二氧化碳，反过来，释放出氧气。incase万一；inturn依次，反过来；inreturn作为回报；inaddition另外。6．B句意为“跟他父母不同的是，他关心自己的前途多，而关心自己的责任少”。unlike“不像，不同”；dislike“不喜欢”；alike“相像的”。7．A句意：“你们快要完成任务了吗？”“远远没有。我们至少需要三个小时。”根据答语中的信息可知，任务还没有完成，故用farfromit“远不，远非”。exactly“正好，确切地”；notalittle“非常”；nowonder“难怪”。8．Bbreakout指战争、火灾爆发。9．D句意：既然你独自在家，为什么不和我们一起去参加宴会呢？eventhough“即使”；asthough“似乎，好像”；sothat“以便，因此”；nowthat“既然”。10．C句意：一些国家缺水严重。我认为最根本的解决方法是：我们应该提高水的使用效率、节约用水、防止水污染。fundamental根本的，基本的；direct直接的；gradual逐渐的；universal全体的，广泛的，普遍的。11．Bastronomer“天文学家”，可数名词，前面应该用an，space“太空”，不可数名词，前面一般不加冠词。故答案为B项。12．D句意：三亚是你度假的理想之地，蓝蓝的大海、软软的沙滩、柔和的微风会使你得到彻底的放松。gentle柔和的，和缓的，温和的。13．A句意为“发展经济不应以破坏环境为代价”。that在此引导主语从句，在从句中不作任何成分，只起引导作用，但不可以省略。14．A句意为“美国人每天摄入的蛋白质是他们实际所需要的两倍”。此处考查twiceas＋much＋n.＋as...。15．C句意：“本周末你想去野餐吗？”“我非常同意，我正想着怎样放松一下呢。”Icouldn'tagreemore.“我很赞同。”16．B形容词(短语)作后置定语，如用定语从句，则用关系代词引导。再从意义上判断应为“看得到的”。17．A从意义上判断应为“你可能会对这种说法感到自豪”。考查词组beproudof。18．D前面有oneof，后面的名词应用复数形式。其后又有一个定语从句，that在从句中作主语。19．D指离地面的垂直距离。20．A从意义上判断应为“……是可能的”。21．C从逻辑上判断应为“甚至能看到大型的交通工具”。22．B此处关系代词引导非限制性定语从句，在从句中作主语。23．A从常识来判断应为“埃及的金字塔”。24．Bpickout为“辨认出”。25．Daboard意为“在船(飞机、车等)上”。26．A此题按逻辑推理来判断，应为“海洋里的大型船只”。27．Bmakeout意为“看出来，辨认出”。28．D在句型“sth.＋be＋adj.＋不定式”中形容词为hard，good，bad，difficult等时，用不定式的主动形式表示被动意义。29．Bnothingbut意为“仅仅是……，只有”，相当于only。30．C此句有转换话题之意，意为“长城又是怎么样呢？”31．C从意义和结构上分析，有“更不清晰”之意，用alot表示程度。32．D从意义上判断应为“不像在普通的照片中看到的(那么清晰)”。33．Afirst“最先，最初”；firstly“第一，首先”(列举条目时用)。另外要注意与story搭配的动词应用tell。34．Csellwell“销路广(好)”，不用被动语态。应注意时态。35．Bmakeup意为“捏造，编造”。36．A细节理解题。从文章第二段最后一句话可知，科学家可以使地球增加60亿年的寿命，使其工作寿命加倍，即为120亿年。37．C推理判断题。根据文章第六、七段可知：因为太阳的原因，地球将逐渐变热以至于不适宜于人类居住，这是科学家计划拯救地球的原因。38．A读图理解题。从文章中的叙述可知，图A最佳解释了这项计划的工作原理。39．B细节理解题。最后两段分别指出该计划可能带来的两大恶果：一是万一轨道计算出错会使被控星体撞向地球，二是地球脱离原轨道后很可能会失去月球，从而导致气候剧变。40．C主旨大意题。通读第二段，可知主要是讲人们关于火星的一些传统认识，故选C。41．B推理判断题。根据第三段的“Today，Marscontinuestoexcitehumans—notastheobjectofsciencefictionbutofscientificstudy.”以及后一句“Spacescientistshavecollectedawealthofinformation...”可推断现在的航天科学家们对火星很感兴趣。42．A推理判断题。根据第四段的“Hesaid，‘It'sactuallyorangishmorethanredandit'salsokindofbrown，’”可知Sam认为火星并不是红色的，而是橘黄色甚至带点褐色，故选A。43．D推理判断题。根据末段的“...aworldthattheyareverylikelytosetfootonwithintheirlifetimes.”可知应选D。【语篇解读】本文为议论文。成功的关键因素不是天赋、出身或运气，而是设定一个符合实际的目标，然后为此不断地努力、付出。巨大的努力也许无法确保你想要的成功，但是你为之付出的(领域)一定会成为你的优势所在。44．A主旨大意题。第一段主要分析了成功的原因，有人认为是天赋、出身或者运气，但是作者并不完全认同，认为这只是生活的现实而已。故A项正确。B项意为“成功的意义”；C项意为“成功的标准”；D项意为“成功的重要性”，均与第一段不相关。45．B词义猜测题。根据上句．..tosetagoalandthengraduallyma
