Answer 1

l.A  由于“it looks very beautiful when the sun is shining”这一情况是众所周知的，所以用动词know比较合理。

2. C  句意：我们知道当太阳照耀在海洋上时，它看上去很美丽。由句意可知，空后的it指代sea,太阳应该是照射在大海的表面上，所以C项正确。

3. B  句意:关于海洋你还知道其他的事情吗？another指多者之中的一个；the other特指两者中的另一个；others指其他的人或物，起代词作用。other则是形容词，意为“其他的”，其后加名词单数或复数均可，故B项正确。

4. D  句意:看看世界地图。look at为固定词组，意为“看”。

5. C  句意:海洋要比陆地多。根据地理常识可以知道，地球上海洋的面积比陆地的面积要大得多，故C项正确。

6. B  句意:海洋的面积占地球表面的四分之三。根据语境和常识可以得知，B项正确。

7. A  根据Some parts可知，系动词be应用复数形式，整篇文章的主要时态是一般现在时，所以A项正确。

8. D  句意:世界上最高的山脉大约9.000米高。由句意可知选D。

9. B   由上文 “ It is nearly 11 kilometers deep. ” 和 “ The highest mountain in the world is about 9 kilometers high."可以推测出 B 项正确。

10. C  该句中含有so...that...结构，意为“如此……以至于……”。
