四、阅读回答问题
Passage1
Wednesday, 22 July
Today was an amazing day. There was a total solar eclipse in Wuhan! I woke up early because I was getting excited!
My friends and I went down to the Yangtze River to find a good place to watch it. We took cameras, chairs, food and drink so we could look and eat. Lots of people gathered there to watch it. Slowly, the moon moved in front of the sun. It looked like someone bit a hole in the sun. The sun got darker and darker as the moon slowly covered the sun.
At 9: 26 a. m. , the moon completely covered the sun. The sky got dark. The crowd gasped and cheered. The light of the sun made a ring of light around the moon. I took this photograph. The total eclipse lasted for only five minutes! Then it passed and the sky started to get brighter again.
I was really inspired by the eclipse this morning. In the afternoon, I spent hours reading about astronomers, eclipses, and how the planets move in our solar system. The universe is simply amazing! I also watched some videos about famous taikonauts. I want to become a taikonaut some day. The sky is the limit!
36.Where did Lisa and her friends watch the eclipse?
37.When did the moon completely cover the sun?
38.How long did the total eclipse last?
39.What does Lisa want to be when she grows up?
40.Do you have a dream job like Lisa? What is it?
Passage2
研读短文,根据情境及问题简要作答。请将答案填写到答题卡指定位置。
Have you ever heard of Death Valley? It’s a national park lying in the east of California, the USA.The park isn’t as scary as its name sounds. You can enjoy the desert sunshine there. At the same time, you can find there’s nothing out there but some special rocks called “sailing stones”. Some of the rocks in Death Valley weigh hundreds of pounds. And on the ground behind each rock is a mysterious trail (痕迹). It seems that the rock has been pushed along in the sand.
It was nearly 100 years ago that the “sailing stones” were reported for the first time. People have been trying to find out the stones’ secret ever since. Until the 1990s, one widely accepted opinion was that the rocks were stuck in sheets (片) of ice that were being blown across the desert. However, research later showed that to move such large ice sheets, the wind would have to blow at hundreds of miles per hour. There are strong winds in Death Valley, but not that strong.
Then in 2006, a scientist named Ralph Lorenz expressed his opinion. He suggested that in winter, thick ice forms (形成) around the rocks. When the ground begins to thaw (解冻), the rocks, wearing ice, sail along and leave trails behind them. Lorenz even did a test in his own kitchen in order to show his opinion was right.
Has Lorenz succeeded in solving the mystery of the sailing stones? Perhaps. On the other hand, neither Lorenz nor anybody else has ever actually seen the stones move. Maybe it was aliens who moved the stones.
根据短文内容,回答下列问题。(答案不超过8个词)
41.Where is Death Valley?
42.What can you find in this park according to the passage?
43.When were the “sailing stones” reported for the first time?
44.Was the wind able to move such large ice sheets? Why?
45.How did Ralph Lorenz prove (证明) his opinion was right?
46.What can you do to meet the mysteries (谜团)?

【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文。文章介绍了太阳系的构成,详细描述了太阳及八大行星的大小、温度及特征,展现了太阳系的奥秘。
【详解】1.句意:它是宇宙中最有趣的地方之一。
根据前文话题solar system (太阳系),本句搭配介词 in 表达范围,in the universe为固定搭配 “在宇宙中”,universe是名词意为宇宙,契合天文话题语境;internet意为互联网,和太空话题无关,planet、earth均为单个星体,无法容纳太阳系。
2.句意:太阳是太阳系里最大的天体。
空前the biggest后需要单数名词,太阳不属于行星,object名词表示天体、物体,可以统称太阳系内部天体,符合太阳属性。
3.句意:而且它比任何行星温度都高得多。
空后有比较级标志词than,much可以修饰形容词比较级,文段围绕太阳温度展开,hotter是hot的比较级,含义为“更热的”,体现太阳温度高于所有行星;taller形容高度、longer形容长度,higher多用于海拔与位置高低,都不能用来描述温度。
4.句意:太阳表面温度约5526.85摄氏度。
空前Sun’s为名词所有格,后面需要搭配名词,后文给出具体温度数值,用来描述太阳某个部位的温度,surface作名词表示“表面”,the Sun’s surface是天文常用表达,意为“太阳表面”;moment、diary、joy词义和星体构造没有关联。
5.句意:水星离太阳最近,它也是最小的行星。
前半句点明水星距离太阳最近,后半句递进说明它也是体积最小的行星,空格处在句子中间,also是副词表示“”也,用于句中表达递进含义;too表示“也”,只能放在句末,either、neither多用于否定句式,本句为肯定句,语法不成立。
6.句意:金星没有地球大,但是温度要高得多。
句子出现not as+形容词原级的结构,属于同级比较固定句型,搭配as构成not as big as,意思是“不如……大”;though、however为转折连词,无法构成该固定句式,for代入后逻辑不通。
7.句意:地球最特别,因为它存在生命。
后文句子There is life on it说明地球上存在生命,系动词之后需要填写形容词,alive为形容词,表示“有生命的”,贴合存在生命的语境;shy、slim多用于形容人的外貌性格,interested主语通常是人,不能用来修饰星球。
8.句意:它(火星)在体积和温度方面与地球相近。
空格后面出现介词to,存在be similar to固定搭配,意思是“与……相似”,对应火星在体积、温度方面和地球相近;good、new、bad不能和介词to构成该固定搭配,代入句子语义不通。
9.句意:火星有冰、四季更替,甚至可能也存在生命。
前文介绍火星存在冰层与四季更替,后半句进一步推测火星甚至可能存在生命,空格在情态动词may和be之间,需要副词加强递进语气,even作副词意为“甚至”;never、usually语义和原文相反,specially表示“专门地”,逻辑不符。
10.句意:土星是最美的行星,这是因为它拥有行星环。
天文常识中土星最标志性的特征就是光环,形容词性物主代词its后需要接名词,rings是名词复数,含义为“光环”,契合土星特点;towers、violins、marks词义和星体结构无关。
11.句意:土星环比其他行星的环更大更亮。
空格后是名词rings,此处需要名词所有格表达所属关系,用来表示其他行星的光环,planets’是复数名词所有格,含义为“行星的”;stars’、moons’、objects’对应的主体和本句对比对象不一致。
12.句意:天王星、海王星离太阳最远,所以它们比其他行星更冷。
前半句说明天王星、海王星距离太阳最远,后半句表明两颗行星温度低于其余所有行星,两个分句属于顺承并列关系,and是并列连词,意为“并且”;because表原因,but表转折,or表选择,都不符合两句之间的逻辑。
13.句意:没有生物能在这两颗星球存活。
情态动词can后面必须接动词原形,前文交代两颗行星环境极度严寒,句子表达生物无法在此生存,survive是动词,意为“生存、存活”;avoid表示“躲避”,warn表示“警告”,lie表示“躺”,均和生命主题不匹配。
14.句意:除了八大行星之外,还有很多更小的星体。
后文提到太阳系还有很多更小的天体,说明除八大行星之外还存在其他星体,单词置于句首作介词,Besides含义为“除……之外,还有”;Below、Above、Up都属于方位词汇,不符合上下文逻辑。
15.句意:它们共同构成奇妙的太阳系。
主语they指代各类星体,后半句中心词为太阳系,表达众多星体共同组成太阳系,make up是动词短语,意为“组成、构成”;cheer up意为“振作”,cut out意为“裁剪”,put on意为“穿上”,词义和天体构成无关。

At 9: 26 a. m. , the moon completely covered the sun. The sky got dark. The crowd gasped and cheered. The light of the sun made a ring of light around the moon. I took this photograph. The total eclipse lasted for only five minutes! Then it passed and the sky started to get brighter again.
I was really inspired by the eclipse this morning. In the afternoon, I spent hours reading about astronomers, eclipses, and how the planets move in our solar system. The universe is simply amazing!

Passage2
研读短文,根据情境及问题简要作答。请将答案填写到答题卡指定位置。
Have you ever heard of Death Valley? It’s a national park lying in the east of California, the USA.The park isn’t as scary as its name sounds. You can enjoy the desert sunshine there. At the same time, you can find there’s nothing out there but some special rocks called “sailing stones”. Some of the rocks in Death Valley weigh hundreds of pounds. And on the ground behind each rock is a mysterious trail (痕迹). It seems that the rock has been pushed along in the sand.
It was nearly 100 years ago that the “sailing stones” were reported for the first time. People have been trying to find out the stones’ secret ever since. Until the 1990s, one widely accepted opinion was that the rocks were stuck in sheets (片) of ice that were being blown across the desert. However, research later showed that to move such large ice sheets, the wind would have to blow at hundreds of miles per hour. There are strong winds in Death Valley, but not that strong.
Then in 2006, a scientist named Ralph Lorenz expressed his opinion. He suggested that in winter, thick ice forms (形成) around the rocks. When the ground begins to thaw (解冻), the rocks, wearing ice, sail along and leave trails behind them. Lorenz even did a test in his own kitchen in order to show his opinion was right.
Has Lorenz succeeded in solving the mystery of the sailing stones? Perhaps. On the other hand, neither Lorenz nor anybody else has ever actually seen the stones move. Maybe it was aliens who moved the stones.
根据短文内容,回答下列问题。(答案不超过8个词)
41.Where is Death Valley?
42.What can you find in this park according to the passage?
43.When were the “sailing stones” reported for the first time?
44.Was the wind able to move such large ice sheets? Why?
45.How did Ralph Lorenz prove (证明) his opinion was right?
46.What can you do to meet the mysteries (谜团)?
【答案】
41.In the east of California, the USA. 42.Some special “sailing stones”. 43.Nearly 100 years ago. 44.No, it wasn’t. Because wind isn’t that strong. 45.He did a test in his kitchen. 46.Do more scientific research.(言之有理即可)
【导语】本文介绍了美国加州死亡谷国家公园的“风帆石”现象,讲述了人们对石头移动之谜的不同猜想与研究,最终仍未完全解开谜团。

45.根据第三段“Lorenz even did a test in his own kitchen in order to show his opinion was right.”可知,他在自己的厨房做了一个实验。
