分析 Trudy,一个美国女孩,试图横渡英吉利海峡,那是2001年8月6号,她爸爸答应她两件事情:一、如果她不开口的话就不会主动把她从水里拉上来,二、如果她成功的做到了(穿越英吉利海峡)就送她一部红色的跑车.最后她成功了,得到了父亲承诺过的汽车.

解答 41-45DBDCA    46-50CBBCC     51-55BDDAC      56-60ADCAD
41.D 考查动词辨析 promise 意为"答应、许诺".此句意为:Trudy的父亲曾答应过两件事.
42.B 考查连词  除非她开口,否则不会主动把她从水里拉上来,故使用unless意为"如果不".
43.D 考查名词  由短文最后一句可知Trudy的父亲答应过另一件东西是car.
44.C 考查动词短语  start out意为"起程、着手进行",现在分词短语swimming strongly作状语,补充说明了start out所做的具体事情.
45.A 上文提到了在上午7点09分开始游泳,在10点开始下雨,可推知Trudy是在正在午(at midday)喝水和吃鸡腿.
4 6.C 由then可知,Trudy吃喝后又开始游泳了.
47.B 由the sea became rougher(海浪变得更大了)可知风力增强了(动词rise有"增强"之意).
48.B 由前面的at midday和后面的at seven o'clock可知此时应为late afternoon.
49.C 考查动词  decide 意为"决定".此句应为教练所作出的决定
50.C 考查动词短语  give up 意为"放弃".由于风大浪高,不宜游泳.故教练作出决定,要Trudy放弃游泳.
51.B 此句指在这样恶劣的天气状况下,Trudy继续游泳是愚蠢的(stupid)行为,其他选项的形容词的意义均与句意不符.
52.D 考查动词短语 Let her go on意为"让她继续游泳". Trudy的父亲坚持让Trudy继续游泳,而不让其他跟随游泳的抓住她.
53.D 考查动词短语 turn against 意为"转而反对",这里意为:潮水向Trudy涌来.
54.A 结合后面的信息:海岸已进入视力范围,可知此时Trudy意识到(realize)胜利在望.
55.C 考查介词短语 句意是:英国海岸就在眼前   be in sight 意为"被看见".
56.A  over表示"通过某物传送".这里指Trudy能够听见由风传送来的岸上的汽车喇叭的欢呼声.
57.D 考查名词     句意是:拼尽最后的力量,她游完了最后的200码      remaining strength意为"剩余的力气".
58.C cross作动词用时意为"渡过、横过".这里指Trudy横渡了英吉利海峡.
59.A  考查介词短语  in spite of 意为"尽管、虽然",表示让步状语,句意为:尽管狂风暴雨,Trudy还是游过了英吉利海峡.
60.D 考查动词  guess 意为"猜测、认为、想".此句意为:我想我这次得到了我的汽车.此车是她父亲曾许诺过的

点评 首先要读懂第一节,尤其是文章的第一句话,这样就可以迅速找到全文的主旨大意.其次要跟着作者的思路读全文,思维要有灵活性,要随着记叙与议论的转换,及时调整思维方式.答题时必须要遵循"整体-部分-整体"的步骤,具体可分为以下三步:1. 通览全文,了解大意. 2. 综合考虑,逐项填空. 3. 复读检验,以防疏漏.

4.The idea that animals can sense earthquakes is a popular one,and stories about animals'strange behavior before earthquakes have been told for centuries.Catfish moving violently,chickens that stop laying eggs and bees leaving their hive in a panic have been reported.Countless pet owners claimed to have witnessed their cats and dogs acting strangely before the ground shook-barking or whining(哀叫) for no reason,or showing signs of nervousness and restlessness.
Can humans use animals as earthquake detectors(探测器)?Debate over whether or not animals can truly sense earthquakes has not solved the question.Support for the idea that animals can sense earthquakes includes studies which suggest that animals may be able to feel the Earth vibrate(振动) before humans.Other ideas suggest that animals may sense electrical changes in the air or gas released from the Earth which could be indicators(预示) of an earthquake.
However,other researchers think the animals'ability is very doubtful.Some scientists feel that there is no strong scientific evidence to support the idea that animals can sense earthquakes.They say that it is difficult to develop a controlled study which can connect a specific animal behavior with an earthquake occurrence.They suggest that human psychology may have an effect on pet owners,as they may want to attribute(归于) powers of sensing earthquakes to their animals.Others have also pointed out that animals react to so many things-being hungry,defending their land,mating,enemies…And if an earthquake can shake millions of people,it is likely that a few of their pets will,by chance,be acting strangely before an earthquake.
Whether or not animals can sense earthquakes before humans do remains to be seen.

6.Have you ever noticed the colour of the water in a river or stream after a heavy rainfall?What do you think caused this change in colour?It is soil that has been washed into the river from the riverbank or from t}le nearby fields.
Components of Soil  Soil is made up of a number of layers(层),each having its own distinctive colour and texture.The upper layer is known as the litter.It acts like a blanket.limiting temperature changes and reducing water loss.The topsoil layer is made up of small particles of rock mixed with rotten plant and animal matter called humus(腐殖质),which is black and gives the topsoil its dark colour.This layer is usually rich in nutrients,oxygen,and water.Below the topsoil is the subsoil,a layer that contains more stones mixed with only small amounts of organic matter.This layer is lighter in colour because of the lack of humus.Beneath the soil lies a layer of bedrock.
  Soil forms from the bottom up.Over time bedrock is attacked by rain,wind,frost,and snow.It is gradually broken down into smaller particles in a process called weathering.Plants begin to grow,and rotten materials enrich the topsoil.Most of the soil in Eastern Canada.for example.Was formed from weathered rock that was exposed when the ice disappeared l2,000years ago.
Water Beneath the Soil  Surface water collects and flows above the ground in lakes.ponds.and rivers.Once in the soil or rock,it is called groundwater.Gravity pulls groundwater through the soil in a process called percolation(渗透).Eventually the water reaches a layer called the water table.Under this is bedrock through which water cannot percolate.
  As water percolates downward,it dissolves organic matter and minerals from the soil and carries them to deeper layers.This causes a serious problem because plants require these nutrients for growth.
Soil pH  Soil can be acidic.neutral.or basic.The pH of the soil is determined by the nature of the rock from which it was formed.and by the nature of the plants that grow and rot in it.
  The acidity of rain and snow can lower the pH of the groundwater that enters the soil.By burning fossil fuels such as coal,oil and gasoline,humans have been contributing to higher levels of acidity in many soils.When fossil fuels are burned.gases are released into the air and then fall back to earth as acid rain.Acid soil increases出e problem of carrying nutrients to lower soil levels.As nutrients are removed,soil is less fertile.Plants grow more slowly in acidic soil,and also become easily attacked by diseases.

67.The layer of soil that provides necessary nutrients for plant growth is called.B
A.1itter
B.topsoil
C.humus
D.subsoil
68.According to the text.which of the following is NOT true?B
A.Soil forms from weathered rock on the earth surface.
B.The deeper layer of soil is darker in colour than the surface soil.
C.Air pollution is partially responsible for acid soil.
D.Groundwater tends to carry away nutrients for plant growth.
69.We can infer from the passage that the water table liesC.
A.between the topsoil layer and the subsoil layer
B.in the subsoil layer above bedrock
C.between the subsoil layer and bedrock
D.in the bedrock layer beneath the subsoil
70.The underlined word"dissolve"is used to express the idea that organic matter and minerals from soil areD.
A.rushed away into the river
B.cleaned and purified by water
C.destroyed and carried away by water
D.mixed with water and become part of it.
