【导语】本文主要介绍了埃及金字塔的历史以及科学家们对它的研究。
【详解】1.句意:它们是世界上最大的建筑之一。
big大的;bigger较大的;biggest最大的;the biggest;最大的。根据“one of...”可知,表示“最…之一”,需用最高级且加定冠词the。故选D。
2.句意:它们是谁建造的?
they他/她/它们,人称代词主格;them他/她/它们,人称代词宾格;their他们的,形容词性物主代词;theirs他们的,名词性物主代词。本句中的“built”是动词,其后接代词的宾格形式“them”作宾语,指代前文提到的金字塔。故选B。
3.句意:数千年前,埃及的一些国王想要(留下)一些东西让人们记住他们,于是他们命令手下的人建造金字塔。
Thousands千,复数形式;Thousand千;Thousands of数以千计的;Thousand of搭配错误。根据“...years ago”可知,是数千年前。故选C。
4.句意:数千年前,埃及的一些国王想要(留下)一些东西让人们记住他们,于是他们命令手下的人建造金字塔。
built建造,过去式或过去分词;to build去建造,动词不定式;building建造,现在分词或动名词;build建造,动词原形。order sb to do sth“命令某人做某事”,固定用法,因此用不定式形式。故选B。
5.句意:这个想法奏效了,金字塔出现了。
appear出现,动词原形;appears出现,三单形式;appeared出现,过去式;will appear将会出现,一般将来时。根据“worked”可知,前后时态保持一致,应用过去式。故选C。
6.句意:另外一些是大的。
Another三者及以上中的另一个;Other其他的;The other两者中的另一个;Others其他人/物。some...others...是固定搭配,意为“一些……另一些……”,others是代词,可单独作主语。故选D。
7.句意:比如,胡夫金字塔高逾146米,由230万块石头建成。
on在……上面;by通过;of……的;in在……里面。be made of是固定短语,意为“由……制成”,此处表示金字塔由石头制成。故选C。
8.句意:大多数石头比一个人还要高很多。
Little少量的;Less更少的;Most大多数的;Much许多。most of + 可数名词复数“表示“大多数的……”,此处修饰stones。故选C。
9.句意:一万多名工人花了约20年才建成这座金字塔。
complete完成,动词原形;completed完成,过去式或过去分词;to complete去完成,动词不定式;completing完成,动名词或现在分词。spend some time (in)doing sth“花时间做某事,固定用法,因此用动名词形式。故选D。
10.句意:作为古代世界七大奇迹之一,胡夫金字塔成了著名景点。
a是不定冠词,泛指,常用在辅音音素开头的单词之前;an是不定冠词,泛指,常用在元音音素开头的单词之前;the是定冠词,特指; /零冠词。根据“famous”可知,是以辅音音素开头的单词,故填不定冠词a。故选A。
11.句意:每年有来自全球的游客前来参观。他们能从金字塔的底部欣赏美景。
came来,过去式;come来,动词原形;comes来,三单形式;are coming正在来,现在进行时。根据“Every year”可知时态是一般现在时,主语visitors表示复数,动词要用原形。故选B。
12.句意:每年有来自全球的游客前来参观。他们能从金字塔的底部欣赏美景。
can可以;need需要;should应该;must一定。根据“they.. look at the view from its bottom.”可知,是可以看见。故选A。

14.句意:现在科学家们正努力研究金字塔。
are working现在进行时;works动词三单;worked过去式;have worked现在完成时。根据“Now”可知,此处时态为现在进行时。故选A。
15.句意:然而,没有人知道古人是如何建立起它们的。
somebody某人;anybody任何人;everybody每个人;nobody没有人。根据上文提到现在科学家们正在努力研究金字塔,以及全文的描述,可知设空处填“没有人”符合句意。故选D。
第1小题,看到 one of 就要条件反射找最高级,且最高级前必须加 the。很多同学只选了 C (biggest) 而漏选 D (the biggest),切记“最高级前加 the”是铁律。

The doctors thought it impossible, but they couldn’t say 5 against the king’s order. Just then, one of 6 came up with an idea. “Oh, we shall certainly follow your advice,” he said, “but it takes time. We have to dig for something to make 7 medicine from the Kunlun Mountains when the snow melts (融化) for the second time. The snow melts on those mountains only once in six years. So we need twelve years.”
At last the king agreed and the doctors took away the little princess. On her 8 birthday, they brought her back to her parents 9 long black hair and beautiful teeth. The king and queen were very 10 and gave the doctors many expensive presents.
