【答案及解析】

1.importance　考查名词用法。空前是of great,此处作宾语,应填名词形式,故填importance。

2.attending　考查非谓语动词。 look forward to期待,期望,后跟动词的-ing形式作宾语。 

3.which　考查非限制性定语从句。空前有逗号,句中缺少主语,应用which引导定语从句。

4.before　考查时间状语从句。根据句意:在举行仪式之前,学生们好长时间之前就开始准备毕业典礼,故填before。

5.especially　考查副词。空前是动词designed,需用副词修饰。

6.printed　考查非谓语动词。book是print动作的承受者,应用过去分词形式,在句中作定语。

7.to tell　考查非谓语动词。给亲朋好友寄卡片的目的是告诉他们自己的毕业典礼。用动词不定式表目的。

8.an　考查冠词。invitation为元音音素开头的可数名词,此处指“一份请帖”,应填不定冠词an。

9.or　考查连词。空前后是选择关系,故填or。

10.are measured　考查时态语态。students是measure的动作承受者,应用被动语态;全文用一般现在时讲述,故填are measured。

Ⅱ.阅读理解 

【科幻小说类】

There was great excitement on the planet of Venus (金星).Venusian scientists managed to land a satellite on the planet Earth,and it has been sending back signals as well as photographs ever since.

The satellite was directed into an area known as Manhattan,named after the great Venusian astronomer Professor Manhattan,who first discovered it with his telescope 20,000 light years ago.

Because of excellent weather conditions and extremely strong signals,Venusian scientists were able to get valuable information as to feasibility (可行性) of a manned flying saucer landing on Earth.A press conference was held at the Venus Institute of Technology.

“We have come to the conclusion,based on last week’s satellite landing,” Professor Zog said,“that there is no life on Earth.” 

“How do you know this?” the science reporter of the Venus Evening Star asked.

“For one thing,Earth’s surface in the area of Manhattan is made up of solid concrete and nothing can grow there.For another,the atmosphere is filled with carbon monoxide (一氧化碳) and other deadly gases and nobody could possibly breathe this air and survive.” 

“What does this mean as far as our flying saucer program is concerned?” 

“We shall have to take our own oxygen with us,which means a much heavier flying saucer than originally planned.” 

“Are there any other dangers that you discovered in your studies?” 

“Take a look at this photo.You see this dark black cloud hovering over the surface of Earth?We don’t know what it is made of,but it could give us a lot of trouble and we shall have further tests before we send a Venus Being there.”

“Over here you will notice what seems to be a river,but the satellite findings indicate it is polluted and the water is unfit to drink.This means we shall have to carry our own water,which will add even greater weight to the saucer.” 

“If all you say is true,won’t this set back the flying saucer program several years?” 

“Yes,but we shall continue as soon as the Grubstart gives us the added funds (资金).” Professor Zog replied.

1.According to the passage,the Venusian scientists succeeded in getting important information about 　　　. 

A.the feasibility of landing a satellite on Earth 

B.the possibility of making a first-rate flying saucer

C.the feasibility of sending a Venus Being to Earth 

D.the possibility of directing a flying saucer into Manhattan

2.Why will the Venusian have to take their own oxygen with them when they carry out their flying saucer program because 　　　. 

A.they need it on their way to the planet of Earth

B.the Earth’s atmosphere is filled with deadly gases 

C.there is a low level of oxygen for Venusians 

D.there is no air on the planet of Earth

3.It can be inferred from the passage that 　　　. 

A.landing a manned flying saucer on Earth will be carried out soon

B.Venusians will land on Earth to help to stop serious pollution

C.it’s unnecessary to land a manned flying saucer on Earth at present

D.pollution on Earth makes it impossible for Venusians to survive there

4.Where can you probably read such a passage?(　　)

A.In a popular magazine.  

B.In a fairy tale.

C.In an observation journal.  

D.In science fiction.

【语篇解读】

本文为科幻小说,主要介绍金星科学家成功获取有关发送金星人类到地球生存的可行性的重要信息。

【答案及解析】

1.C　细节理解题。根据文章第三段第一句“Because of excellent weather conditions and extremely strong signals,Venusian scientists were able to get valuable information as to feasibility (可行性) of a manned flying saucer landing on Earth.”可知,由于极好的天气条件以及极强的信号,金星科学家获取了关于载人飞碟在地球着陆的可行性的有价值的信息。故应选C。

2.B　细节理解题。根据文章第六段第二句“...the atmosphere is filled with carbon monoxide (一氧化碳) and other deadly gases and nobody could possibly breathe this air and survive.”可知,地球大气层中充满一氧化碳和其他致命气体,没有人能够呼吸这种气体而生存。故应选B。

3.D　推理判断题。根据文章第六段第二句和倒数第三段第一句中的“Over here you will notice what seems to be a river,but the satellite findings indicate it is polluted and the water is unfit to drink.”可知,地球上的气体不适合呼吸,水也不适合饮用。故应选D。

4.D　文章出处题。纵观全文并结合常识可知,本文为科幻小说。故应选D。

【疑难词汇解读】

1.direct vt.把……对准

The guide directed our attention to the other picture.

讲解员要我们注意另一幅画。

We directed our steps towards home.我们朝家走去。

2.hover vi.(指鸟等)飞翔,盘旋

A hawk is hovering above/over its prey.

一只鹰在猎物头顶上盘旋。

There was a helicopter hovering overhead.

有一架直升机在头顶上盘旋。

【长难句子分析】

Over here you will notice what seems to be a river,but the satellite findings indicate it is polluted and the water is unfit to drink.

本句是一个并列复合句。表示转折关系的并列连词but连接两个并列的分句。第一个分句为主从复合句,what seems to be a river是宾语从句;第二个分句也是一个主从复合句,其中it is polluted和the water is unfit to drink是两个并列的宾语从句。

在这里,你将注意到一条似乎像河流的水道,但是卫星发现表明它已经被污染了,水不适合饮用。
