F)spccificN)uscdG)alrcadyO)spccicsH)casually

48、[SI]

标准答案：N

知识点解析：此处需要一个能跟不定式词t。的动运作谓语的一部分。从词库中的

六个动词来看，used与办搭配，意为“过去常常”，与后一句的Today形成对比，故

为答案。

49、[S2]

标准答案：O

知识点解析♦：此处需要一个由限定词tw。修饰的复数名词作句子的主语。只有

species是复数名词,且与前一句中的kinds属于同义词，Iwospeciesofelephants意

为“两种大象

50、[S3]

标准答案：M

知识点解析：此处一个及物动词的过去式，后跟宾语vegetation,与and后面的

broke叩habitats并列作谓语部分。根据上文所说“气候急剧变化”，可知altered正

确。alteredvegetation意为“改变植被”。

51、[S4]

标准答案：I

知识点解析：此处应该是可数名词单数，作主语。hypothesis是可数名词单数，而

且anotherhypothesis与前一句中的主语onetheory形成并列关系，与下一段的第一

句中testedtwoassumptions(检验了两种假说)前后照应。

52、[S5]

标准答案：K

知识点解析：此处需要个动词原形，而且是及物动词；后跟宾语ihedcbalc。能

与debate搭配的动词原形是resolve,resolvethedebate意为“解决争议

53、[S6]

标准答案：F

知识点解析：此处需要一个形容词作定语，修饰名词regions。根据下文的(hose

regions,specific一词合适，即specificregions(特定地区)。

54、[S7]

标准答案：D

知识点解析：此处需要一个形容词，或者是动词的过去分词作谓语。动词的过去分

词形式有migrated,altered,used,declinedo从语义角度看，显然都不合适，那么

只有考虑形容词。due与lo搭配，意为“由于duetoclimatechange意为“由于气

候变化

55、[S8]

标准答案：G

知识点解析：此处应该是状语成分，由副词充当。从上下文语义的逻辑性看，只有

already合适。

56、[S9]

标准答案：B

知识点解析：此处应该是动词，而且是过去式，作谓语。migraiedoulofAfrica意

为“迁移出非洲”。

57、[S10]

标准答案：A

知识点解析：此处的词应该与lohumans一起作后置定语，修饰refuges,所以可能

是形容词或动词的过去分词。从词义上来看，动词的过去分词不合适，所以答案肯

定是形容词。而根据下文的suchastropicalforests,此处应该是一个具有消极意义

的形容词，所以选uninvitingorefugesuninvitingtohumans意为“人类不感兴趣的地

方”。
