【試題】

（B） Please complete the following passage by choosing the best of the four choices in the boxes， marked A， B， C and D. 請從方框中所給的A， B， C， D四個選項中選出最佳選項完成下面的短文。

Do you know the animal in the picture？ Yes， it is a kangaroo.

Kangaroos also move in an unusual way.

The weather in Australia's summer is very hot. During the day， kangaroos often sleep under trees.

Kangaroos have big ears.

【答案及解析】 36—40 CABDA 41—45 ADBCA

36. C。名詞詞義辨析題。根據(jù)整篇文章的大意和我們對澳大利亞的相關(guān)背景知識可知此處是指“澳大利亞的象征之一”。

38. B。由此試題所在句子的句意可知，此處應使用it代替前文出現(xiàn)的“a joey”;并且其后的句子中也有相關(guān)提示。

43. B。根據(jù)此試題所在句子的前文“The weather in Australia's summer is very hot. During the day， kangaroos often sleep under trees. ”可知，袋鼠們是在晚間天氣變得涼爽（cool）時外出覓食。

II. Cloze （完形填空） （共 15小題;每小題1分，計15分）

（A） Please read the following passage and fill in the blanks with the correct forms of 5 words or phrases out of the 7 given in the box， according to the context. 請閱讀下面的短文， 并根據(jù)其內(nèi)容提示， 從方框中所給的7個詞語中選出5個， 并用其正確形式填空。

Do you know mummies？ They are the remains of bodies of people who died thousands of years ago in Egypt. They are fascinating 46. ______ they tell us a lot about ancient Egypt. These bodies are preserved （保存） by 47. ______ the fluids （液體） from them.

Mummies were first found in 1795. Then many of them were taken out of Egypt， but now the government forbids people to do this. At first， mummies were made spontaneously （自然地）. About 5，000 years ago， Egyptians 48. ______ their dead persons in the sand. This warm sand dried the bodies and the result was 49. ______ mummies. 50. ______， Egyptians feared grave robbers （盜墓者）， so they placed the bodies in closed tombs （墳墓）. However， making a man-made mummy was a long process， which took about 70 days.

【答案及解析】 46. because 47. removing 48. buried 49. natural 50. Later on

46. because。本題空白處所處的句子中包含兩個完整的小句子，但是缺少相應的連詞;再根據(jù)所給的7個詞語中只包含一個連詞，故此空應填because。

47. removing。根據(jù)整篇文章的大意和我們對木乃伊的相關(guān)背景知識可知，本題空白處所處句子的句意為“這些尸體是通過排出其內(nèi)部的液體來保存的，”因此應選用remove;但是by為介詞，所以應用其V-ing形式。

49. natural。通過分析本題空白處所處的句子成分可知，缺少一個形容詞作定語修飾mummies;再根據(jù)后文提到“a man-made mummy”可知此處應填 natural（自然的）。

【試題】

（B） Please read the following passage and fill in each blank with one word in one of the following three ways： ① based on the context; ② using the proper form of the given word; ③ based on the given letters of the words. 請閱讀下面的短文， 用以下三種形式中的一種填空：① 根據(jù)上下文填空;② 用所給單詞的正確形式填空;③ 根據(jù)單詞所給的字母填空，每空一詞。

In Northern Ireland， there is a group of rocks off the coast of County Antrim called the Giant's Causeway. The rocks are all shaped like tall columns （柱狀物） with 51. betw______ four and ten straight sides. They are of different 52. ______ （high）， the tallest reaching up to six meters

high. And the rock columns fit together， so that the rocks look like a kind of road stretching out into the sea. There is a similar group of rocks， about 200 km across the sea， in Scotland called the Fingal's Cave. Scientists believe that the rocks in both of the areas 53. w______ formed 50 million years ago by the volcanic （火山的） activity. However， the local Irish people say that a long， long time ago there was 54. ______ Irish giant called Finn Mac Cool living in Ireland and a Scottish giant called Finn Gall living in Scotland. Cool wanted to fight with Gall， so he placed columns of rocks in the sea bed to make a huge road across to Scotland. After he 55. ______ （complete） the causeway， Cool was tired and took a nap （小睡）. Then Gall walked across the road 56. ______ （quiet） to look at his enemy. But Cool's wife saw Gall and told him the sleeping giant was their baby because she wanted to stop the fight. Gall looked at the giant and thought， “57. ______ this is just a baby， how big is the father？ Too big for me 58. ______ have a fight with！ That's for sure.” So Gall hurried back to Scotland， 59. ______ （break） up the causeway as he ran. That is the reason

60. w______ only the two ends of the causeway remain today.

【答案及解析】 51. between 52. heights 53. were 54. an 55. completed 56. quietly 57. If 58. to 59. breaking 60. why

52. heights。通過分析句子成分可知，本題空白處應填入一個名詞，但是需要注意的是high的名詞形式height是一個可數(shù)名詞，再結(jié)合本題空白處前的different可知，此處應使用其復數(shù)形式。

53. were。本題空白處所處的句子是一個賓語從句，通過本題空白處所處的句子句意可知，本句表達一個被動意義，但是卻缺少相應的助動詞，再結(jié)合本從句的主語rocks和首字母提示可知，此處應填were。

57. If。通過本題空白處所處的句子句意可知，此句包含一個條件狀語從句，即“如果……”，此時我們不難想到使用if，但是需要注意的是本題空白處位于句首，故首字母應大寫。
