[素能提升]
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Underwater explorers have discovered an ancient shipwreck (沉船) in the ruins of a long-lost sunken Egyptian city Heracleion,off the coast of Alexandria in Egypt. Researchers have proved the ship to be over 2 ,000 years old among the ruins.
Although Heracleion was once an important economic center,it was destroyed by the forces of nature,sinking (下沉) rapidly in the water. The remains of the city’s houses,temples,and markets have lain ten meters deep in the Abu Qir Bay,east of present-day Alexandria. As a result,underwater explorers regularly make exciting discoveries there. Among them,statues and stone tablets with words made it possible to figure out the city’s name:Heracleion.
Researchers explained that the ship was 25 meters long. The discovery of the shipwreck was fascinating because ships from that period in history were very seldom. The underwater research showed that the ship was struck by several big stones from the nearby temple,making the ship at the bottom of the sea. Dr. Mustafa Waziri,Secretary-General of the Higher Archaeology Council,said the ship was in the canal (运河) which flowed along the side of the Temple of Amun. An earthquake struck the city,making the temple destroyed and the ship sink.
While the shipwreck discovery was exciting,underwater explorers discovered the remains of a Greek cemetery (墓地) dating back to the 4th century BC during the underwater exploration. Researchers explained that the discovery shows the Greek traders lived in the city. They built their own temples near the temple of Amun,and the remains of both have been found together and in good condition in the sunken city some 7 miles off the coast of Egypt. It is worth noting that the city of Heracleion had been the largest port-city in Egypt across the Nile Delta,before the city of Alexandria was founded in 331 BC.Several earthquakes destroyed it.

语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了汤加火山爆发的情况及其对该地区的影响。
1.解析: on/upon 考查介词。固定搭配effect on/upon... (对……的巨大影响)。故填on/upon。
2.解析: is made 考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。此处是非限制性定语从句,关系代词which指代先行词the South Pacific nation在从句中作主语,be made up of... (由……组成)为从句谓语,表示一般情况,用一般现在时的第三人称单数被动形式。故填is made。
3.解析: cutting 考查非谓语动词。本句已有谓语had damaged且无连词,动词cut应用非谓语形式,该空是前句导致的意料之中、自然而然的结果,cut用动词-ing形式作结果状语。故填cutting。
4.解析: provided 考查动词时态。此处缺谓语,结合时间状语On January 18,2022可知,provide时态用一般过去时。故填provided。
5.解析: completely 考查词性转换。用副词completely作状语修饰动词cover。故填completely。
6.解析: that/which 考查定语从句。此处是定语从句,先行词是the large waves,指物,在从句中作主语,用关系代词that/which。故填that/which。
7.解析: worse 考查形容词比较级。固定搭配to make matters worse (更糟糕的是)。故填worse。
8.解析: supplies 考查名词的单复数。supply (补给、补给品)是可数名词,用名词复数表泛指。故填supplies。
9.解析: belief 考查词性转换。抽象名词belief (看法)作动词hold的宾语,that引导的同位语从句解释说明抽象名词belief的内容。故填belief。
10.解析: left 考查省略。if引导的条件状语从句的省略,主语The ash与非谓语动词leave构成被动关系,所以用过去分词。故填left。
