21、[21]

A、which

that

C、where

D、inwhich

标准答案：C

知识点解析：通读全句，可以发现此处缺一个关系副词引导的定语从句修饰先行词

place,同时在定语从句中做liveandwork的地点状语，which与that容易排除，而

inwhich迷惑性较大,但station一般与介词at连用。

22、[22]

A、in

B、at

C、with

D、for

标准答案：D

知识点解析：这里考查的是词语搭配。当periods表示“一段时间”时，常跟for搭

配。而一般不与in及wi及连用。当与at搭配时表示“时期”。

23、[23]

A、serve

B、work

C^help

D、assist

标准答案：A

知识点解析：这里考的是serveas这个搭配，表示的是begoodenoughorsuitable

forapurpose（合适、适用）。此句意思是“航空站可用作观象台、实验室...”,而

assisthelp一般做及物动词，不与as直接搭配。当work与as搭配时，主语一般

是人表示“人做什么工作”。

24、[24]

A、while

B、so

C、whereas

D^where

标准答案：B

知识点解析：通读整句可以发现此处缺的是一个表示因果关系的连词，意思是说：

“因为航空站要比载人飞船大得多，所以更舒适一些。"while是表示伴随关系的连

词，whereas是表示“然而，但是"的连词，where是表示地点的关系副词。因此B

正确。

25、[25]

A、fetch

B、take

C、bring

D、transport

标准答案：D

知识点解析：此处transporl表示的是“运输、运送”之意。该句是说明载人飞船的作

用：在地球与航空站之间往返运送人与物。bring与take一般与t。连用，而fetch

无“运愉，运送”之意，表示“去取来二

26、[26]

A、with

within

C、to

D^from

标准答案:A

知识点解析：这是一道考动词搭配的题。supplysomebody/aplacewithsomething表

示“向某人、某地供应某物"。supply一般不gwiihin或aom连用。lo是个迷惑性

较大的选项。当supply与t。诈用时，一般这样搭配：supplysomethingto

somebody/aplaceo

27、[27]

A、shaped

set

C、constructed

D、established

标准答案：C

知识/解析：联系前后文，可以看出此句是在说：小的航空站可以在地球上被建造

起来，然后再被送入轨道。此处的建造我们只能用construct。shape表示“制成...

形状”。sei表示“安排，调整”等。establish一般表示“建立团体、组织及学校”等。

28、[28]

A^big

B、large

C、medium

D、little

标准答案：B

知识点解析：通过前后文可以发现：在运送小航空站时一般是整体发射而不是拆开

的，所以应该选择大一点的火箭。big迷惑性比较大，但是big是一个比较口语化

的词。而large比较正式，medium表示“中间的，中等的”。

29、[29]

A^assembled

B、constructed

C、built

D^manufactured

标准答案：A

知识点解析：assemble表示“组装通过后文的whereastronautsassemblethem可

以找到答案。此句意思是说“大的航空站是在太空中被组装起来的

30、[30]

A、get

B、fetch

C、carry

D、move

标准答案：C

知识点解析：carry在此处表示“运送”，强调的是“用特定的工具把东西运送到目的

地gel表示“得到“，而felch表示“去拿来"。move只是一个干扰项。

31、[31]

A^joined

B、linked

C、connected

D、added

标准答案：D

知识点解析：此句意思是说：“旧的航空舱可以被更换同时可以增添新舱来扩大航

空站的规模join表示“连接，接合”，与题意均不相符，link表示“连接，联系”，

connect表示“把……跟……联系起来”，常与with跟to搭配。

32、[32]

A、atbest

B、atmost

C、atleast

D^athand

标准答案：C

知识点解析：根据句意可知，每个航空站至少应该有一个停靠港。alleast表示“至

少”；atbesi表示“充其量”;atmost表示“最多,不超过“；athand表示“即将发生”,

是个纯粹的干扰项。

33、【33】

A、to

B、in

C、at

D、on

标准答案：A

知识点解析:此处选to是与后文attach搭配。onwhich用来做定语,修饰one

dockingport,表示其作用：路过的匕船可以在其上停靠。此处aiiachto引申为“着

陆，停靠

34、[34]

A、compose

B、makeup

C、consist

D、constitute

标准答案：C

知识点解析：此处考的是动词搭配°_consistof表示“由……组成”，主语为整体，而

3compose,makeup,constitute表示“构成”时,主语应该为部分。

35、[35]

A、for

B、with

C、and

D、to

标准答案：B

知识点解析：本题考词语搭配。connectwithsomething表示的是,,与...相连接

to跟and迷惑性较大，但当connect与他们连用时，connect后面一般不能省略宾

语。

36、[36]

A^strength

B、force

C、affect

D、effects

标准答案：D

知识点解析；联系上卜文，analyzetheeffectsofmicrogravityonvariousmaterials表

示的是“分析失重状态对各种事物的影响而表示“影响”的名词只有最后一个选

项。

37、[37]

A^watch

B、examine

C、investigate

D、inspect

标准答案：C

知识点解析：watch纯粹是一个干扰项，表示"观看examine,investigate及

inspect都表示“检杳”，其区别在于examine及inspect都强调“近距离检查”，在此

处与文意不符。

38、【38】

A、at

on

C、in

D、off

标准答案：A

知识点解析：ataspacestation在此处是一个地点状语，限定前面astronauts,特指

“在航空站的宇航员

39、[39]

A、devote

B、connect

C、add

D、pay

标准答案：A

知识点解析：本题考查搭配。devotelime/effortstosomething表示“致力于”,此处

表示“在航空站的宇航员大部分时间忙于connectsomethingtosomething表

示,,把...跟....连接起来“，addsomethingtosomething表示,,增添”，而pay常用

的搭酉已是paysomethingtosomebody/somethingo

40、[40]

A、erect

B、toerect

C、erecting

D、erects

标准答案：C

知识点解析：联系前后文可知，此处是几个并列的动名词erecting,connecting和

welding做宾语。所以选C。
