2、Floodingisthemostdestructiveweatherdisasterinthelasthundredyears.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：A_

知识点解析:第1段最后一句:Hoodinghasclaimedmillionsoflivesinthelast

hundredyearsalone,merethananyotherweatherphenomenon.题目中的destructive

概括了原文中的claimedmillionsoflives,而原文中的morethananyother…其实表

示的是最高级的概念，题目与原文意思一致，因此本题答案为丫。

3、Thevolcanicactivitiesinvolvenowaterinanyformbecausethetemperatureisso

high.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：B

知识点解析：第1个小标题Howwaterexistsonourplanet部分的第1段第2句后半

部分：...，butnewwaterisalsoemittedfromtheinnerparioftheEarth,by

volcanicactivity.根据原文，火山活动中会有水从地球内会喷出，而题目却说火山

活动不涉及任何形式的水，故本题答案为N。

4、Windcurrentsturnouttobemoreactiveincolderareasinthenorthernhemisphere.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：C

知识点解析：第2个小标题Windcuirents部分第1段：Windcurrentsaregenerated

bytheheatingactivityofthesun.ThesunshinesmoreontheareaaroundEarth's

equatorthanitdoesonareasfarthernorthandsouth,causingaheatdiscrepancyoverthe

surfaceoftheglobe.Inwarmerregions,hotairrisesupintotheatmosphere,pulling

coolerairintotheunoccupiedspace.Incoolerregions,coldairsinks,pushing/

drivingwarmerairintotheunoccupiedspace.TherotationoftheEarthbreaksthiscycle

up,sothereareseveral,smallerair-currentcyclesallalongtheglobe.原文虽然提到

\windcurrents的成因，及其在warmerregions和coolerregions的活动情况，但并

未比较windcurrents在哪个地区更active,故答案为NG。

5、Theweatherconditionforacertainplaceorcountrywillverylikelyvaryeveryyear.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：B

知识点解析：第2个小标题Windcurrents部分的第2段第3句：Consequently,

specificlocationsgenerallyexperiencethesamesortofweatherconditionsyeartoyear.

根据原文，一个特定的地方的天气情况经常是每年都差不多(same),而本题却说每

年都会变化(vary),故答案为N。

6、Thepreliminaryformoffloodemergeswhenwaterinacertainpieceofland.

标准答案：accumulatesabnormally

知识点解析：第3个小标题Waterways部分的最后一句：Atitsmostbasiclevel,

thisiswhatafloodis—anabnormalaccumulationofwaterinanareaofland.空白处需

要动词作谓语。题目中的preliminaryform和原文中的themostbasiclevel意思一

致，原文破折号后的内容描述了洪水的最初形式是怎样的，即答案所在。但是因为

空白处需要动词，所以必须把accumulation变成动词形式，把abnormal变成副词

形式对其进行修饰。

7、Inthesummer,thewindcurrentwillbereversedbecausethetemperatureoftheair

overthelandturnshigherthan.

标准答案：thatoftheairovertheocean

知识点解析:第4个小标题Sourcesoffloods下Rainstorms部分的第1段第5、6

句：Butinthesummer,theairoverthelandheatsup,becomingwarmerthantheairover

theocean.Thiscausesthewindcurrenttoreverse...空白处需要名词性成分。原文是先

因后果，而题目则是先果后因，故可在第5句中寻找答案。higher和wanner表示

的都是温度高的概念，但题目的比较对象是tempemture,而不是air,因此答案需

要在原文than之后的名词短语前加上thatof.

8、TheancientEgyptiancivilizationthrivesinthedesertmainlybecauseoftheinfluence

offromtheNile.

标准答案：theexpandingwaters

知识点解析：第4个小标题Sourcesoffloods下Rainstorms部分的第2段第4、5

句：Theexpandingwaterswouldleavefertilesiltallalongthebanksoftheriver,

makingtheareaidealfarminglandoncetheriverhadsub-sidedagain.Thisisoneof

themainfactorsthatallowedcivilizationtothriveintheEgyptiandesert.空口处需要名

词性成分。原文中第5句和本题中because前面的内容相同，而This则是指整个第

4句的内容，即theexpandingwaters的作用和影响，故答案为theexpanding

waterso

9、Atsunamioccurswhenthereisashiftin.

标准答案：theEarth'screst

知识点解析：第4个小标题SourcesofHoodsb'Unusualtidalactivity部分的最后一

句:itcanalsobecausedbytsunamis,largewavesintheoceantriggeredbyashiftinthe

Earth'scrust.空白处需要名词性成分。原文中后一句其实是对tsunami的定义，当

然也包含其成因。而题目实质上是对海啸成因的考杳，故答案为介词in后面的内

容。

10、Whenadambreaks,thereemergeswhichiscausedbythesuddenrc-lease

ofahugeamountofwater.

标准答案:aviolent"wall"ofwater

知识点解析：第4个小标题Sourcesoffloods下Breakofman-madedams部分的倒

数第4句：Whenthishappens,amassiveamountofwaterisreleasedallatonce»

causingaviolent4twair,ofwatertopushacrosstheland.空白处需要填入名词性成

分。题目则是先果后因，而原文中是先因后果，故答案为causing后的成分。

11、Tojudgehowseriousafloodis,wehavetoconsiderthevolumesofriversand

streamsinanareaand.

标准答案：theland'sabsorbency

知识点解析：第5个小标题Severityofaflood部分的第1>2、3句：Theseverityof

aflooddependsnotonlyontheamountofwaterthataccumulatesinaperiodoftime,

butalsoontheland'sabilitytodealwiththiswater.ASwe'veseen,oneelementof

thisisthesizeofriversandstreamsinanarea.Butanequallyimportantfactoristhe

land'sabsorbency.空白处需要名词性成分。题目中的Tojudgehowseriousis与本

段第1句中讲到的Theseverityofaflooddependson意思相同,原文第2句和第3

句中的oneelementofthis和anequallyimportantfactor则点明了其与第1句之间的

关系。题目要求找出另一个决定因素，故答案为第3句中的anequallyimporlanl

factor的具体所指。

标准答案：generally

知识点解析：所填词位于助动词have和动词的过去分词之间，应为副词形式。第

一段首句及第二段首句的，前半句表明，人们更倾向于把"成长''视为一种最终结果

或产品，所以所填副词应包含所占此例大的意思。general变副词时直接加ly。

38、

标准答案：definition

知识点解析：空中应填名词与by构成介宾短语在句中作状语。definition意为“定

义”。

39、

标准答案：encounter

知识点解析；所填词应能与experiences“经历”构成合理的动宾搭配。encounter意为

“遇见，遭到experience作不可数名词时意为“经验”；作可数名词时意为“经

历”。

40、

标准答案：obstacles

知识点解析：此处应表示在成长过程中遇到的困难或挫折。obstacle“障碍”应用复

数形式与其前面的experiences对应。

41、

标准答案：experience

知识点解析：根据空前的newways1。可判断所填词应为动词原形。成长的过程也

是逐步感知世界的过程，experience在这里作动词，意为“感受，体验"。experience

的动词和名词形式相同。

42、

标准答案:willingness

知识点解析：结合空后的内容可推断，成长的过程中应该有敢冒风险、勇于接受失

败的精神，故空中应填入一个表“意愿''的名词。注意名词词缀-ness。

43、

标准答案：confront

知识点解析：分析句子结构，空中应填入原形动词与其前面的lake及后面的accepl

并列。confront意为“勇于面对，正视“，theunknown指未来的不可知性。

44、

标准答案：essential

知识点解析：空中应填入一个形容词作表语。一个人如何看待自己对其能力的提高

至关重要,essential常用于beessentialto的结构。注意双写s。
