16.The Sahara Desert,(61)covering(cover) most of North Africa,is the largest desert in the  world.From north to south the Sahara is between 800miles (62)and1200miles and is at least 3000miles from east to west.Due to the large size of the Sahara,Africa is split into two regions:that (63)which lies above or forms part of the Sahara and the rest of Africa south  of the Sahara.On the west,the Sahara is(64)bordered (border) by the Atlantic Ocean and on the  east by the Red Sea,and to the north are the Atlas Mountains and Mediterranean Sea.Over (65)of percent of the Sahara's surface is covered by sand sheets and dunes.
The Sahara's climate consists 65basically two sub-climates,a dry subtropical  climate in the north and a dry tropical climate in the south.The dry tropical climate is (66)generally (general) characterized by mild,dry winters,a hot dry season just before the rainy  season,and an annual temperature cycle.The dry subtropical climate,(67)however,is  characterized by(68)annually (annual) high temperature ranges,cold winters,hot summers and two rainy seasons.There is a narrow strip in the western portion of the Sahara,(69)along the  coast,which generally has cool temperatures (70)compared (compare) to the rest of the Sahara  because of the influence of the cold Canary Current.

分析 本文主要讲述撒哈拉沙漠的地理位置,面积和两种气候状况,即:干燥的热带气候的特点通常是冬天比较温和干燥,雨季之前有一段时间特别炎热,每年温度都有一次循环的过程;亚热带气候的特点是每年都有一段高温期,冬季寒冷,夏天高温,有两个雨季.

解答 61.covering 62.and 63.which 64.bordered 65.of
66.generally 67.however 68.annually 69.along 70.compared
61.covering 考查现在分词.the Sahara Desert和cover之间是主动关系,用现在分词短语covering most of North Africa作定语修饰the Sahara Desert.
62.and 考查连词.between…and…意为"在…和…之间",是固定搭配.
63.which 考查定语从句.分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句,先行词that(region)指物,在从句中作主语,用关系代词which.
64.bordered 考查动词语态.由语境可知,在西边,大西洋环绕着撒哈拉沙漠.主语the Sahara和border之间是被动关系,要用被动语态.
65.of 考查固定搭配.consist of意为"由…组成,由…构成",是固定短语.
66.generally 考查副词.修饰动词characterize用副词.形容词general的副词是generally.
67.however 考查副词.根据上文"干燥的热带气候的特点通常是冬天比较温和干燥,雨季之前有一段时间特别炎热,每年温度都有一次循环的过程"及下文"而亚热带气候的特点是每年都有一段高温期,冬季寒冷,夏天高温,有两个雨季"可知,上下两句之间是转折关系,且该空前后以逗号和上下文隔开,要用副词however.
68.annually 考查副词.修饰形容词high要用副词.形容词annual的副词是annually.
69.along 考查介词.along the coast意为"沿海岸线".句意:在撒哈拉西部,沿海岸线有一道狭长的地带.
70.compared 考查过去分词.主句主语a narrow strip 和compare之间是被动关系,用过去分词.

点评 在一篇200词左右的语篇(短文或对话)中留出10处空白,部分空白的后面给出单词的基本形式,要求考生根据上下文填写空白处所需的内容或所提供单词的正确形式,所填写词语不得多于3个单词.要做好语法填空题,理解短文是解题的前提,扎实的词汇、句型和语法知识是基础,英语国家的背景知识是必要的补充.考生须灵活运用语法知识,如单词词性、单词时态、名词单复数、连接词、代词、冠词等判断各空白处应填写的内容.答完后,还要通读全文,核对所填单词形式是否正确,是否符合语境.

6.Any mistake made in the printing of a stamp raises its value to stamp collectors.A mistake on a two-penny stamp has made it worth a million and a half times its face value.
Do you think it impossible?Well,it is true.And this is how it happened.
The mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in the former British colony(殖民地)of Mauritius,a small island in the Indian Ocean.In l847all order for stamps was sent to London Mauritius was about to become the fourth country in the world to put out stamps.
Before the order was filled and the stamps arrived from England,a big dance was planned by the commander-in-chief of all the armed forces on the island.The dance would be held in his house and letters of invitation would be sent to all the important people in Mauritius.Stamps were badly needed to post the letters.Therefore,an islander,who was a good printer,was told to copy the pattern of the stamps.He carelessly put the words"Post Office"instead of"Post Paid",two words seen on stamps at that time,on the several hundred that he printed.
Today,there are only twenty-six of these misprinted stamps left-fourteen One-penny Reds and twelve Two-penny Blues,Because there are so few Two-penny Blues and because of their age,collectors have paid as much as﹩16,800for one of them.

7.Forget famous goal celebration such as"The Robot"by Peter Crouch and"The Dive"by Juergen Klinsmann,here comes the South African"Diski dance".The Diski dance,which is performed through heading and kicking an imaginary ball,may be a goal celebration to watch in the following matches.
South Africa's Siphiwe Tshabalala and his teammates performed this different dance when they celebrated his goal against Mexico in the opening World Cup game on Friday.The dance is already popular on YouTube and many soccer fans may want to learn the moves.
Even South Africa's President Jacob Zuma has learnt the Diski dance which could be better than Cameroon Roger Milla's corner flag dance celebration in the 1990FIFA World Cup.US actor John Travolta performed the dance shortly after landing his Boeing 707at Lanseria airport,north of Johannesburg,on Wednesday morning.
Goal celebrations are now part of the biggest sporting event and players plan them in advance just in case they   find the back of the net.In football,a goal celebration is the practice of celebrating the scoring of a goal.The celebration may be performed by the goal-scorer,his or her teammates,the manager or coaches and the supporters of the team.
The Robot goal celebration was so popular that England fans were surprised when Crouch,an English international footballer,said that he wouldn't be doing it any more unless England won the World Cup.
The word Diski is the word used by the local people for soccer and may also describe the local style of football which focuses on dribbling(带球) and other tricks.

63.Besides"Diski dance",how many types of goal celebrations are mentioned in the passage?B
A.2.   B.3.  C.4.  D.5.
64.The underlined part"find the back of the net"in Paragraph 4meansA.
A.score a goal         B.win the match
C.take a rest          D.take part in a match
65.What do we learn about the word"Diski"?D
A.It has become the most popular sports word in the world now.
B.It was used to show how people were good at dribbling.
C.It was used to describe a football which was imagined by footballers.
D.It was probably mainly used in South Africa before the South Africa World Cup.
66.What can we infer from the passage?B
A.All the footballers should have their own goal celebrations.
B.Goal celebrations play an important role in football games.
C.Famous goal celebrations all appeared in the World Cup games.
D.Footballers often don't plan their goal celebrations ahead of time.

4.Gone are the days when men and women couldn't associate(交往)with each other.When we are asked whether boys and girls can associate with each other,most of us will say,"Yes,of course.Why not?"
If we want to deal with the association between boys and girls properly,here are some"dos and don'ts"for you to follow.
1.Keep a normal and healthy state of mind(心态). Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls.It is very natural for boys and girls to contact each other and build up the friendship with the students of the other sex.Generally speaking,we should broaden the circle of the association.We should make as many friends as possible.We should have more friends of the other sex instead of one or two.We should contact the students in public instead of in secret.
2.Contact students of the other sex warmly,generously and sincerely.Don't be too nervous or too shy in contact with a person of the other sex.In that case it is very difficult for you to make a lot of friends,as no one likes a person who is too shy to say a word.If you are too shy a person,you can also find a way out.First of all,you can contact the students with the same interest and hobby with you.As both of you have much in common,you may have much to talk about.If you keep doing like that,little by little,you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.
3.Don't fall into the ditch(泥潭)of early love.The boys and girls at adolescence(青春期)are rich in feeling and full of imagination.They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age.In my opinion,boys and girls at middle school are too young and too tender to shoulder the heavy duty of love.Early love is a green apple that can't be eaten.An apple won't taste sweet until it is fully ripe(成熟).Do keep out of early love.
61.The main idea of the passage is toB.
A.tell students to keep away from early love
B.give some advice on how to associate between boys and girls
C.say contact does good not only to boys but also to girls
D.teach boys how to talk with girls
62.The underlined word"broaden"in the passage means"C."
A.close down     B.make small     C.make big    D.make known
63.A person at adolescence is NOTB.
A.rich in feelings         
B.old enough to fall in love
C.full of imagination      
D.easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love.
64.Which of the following is NOT true?D
A.Men and women used not to be allowed to associate with each other.
B.We'd better not make only one or two friends of the other sex.
C.Some students are too nervous or too shy in contact with a person of the other sex.
D.People like a person who always keeps silent.
65.The passage is mostly taken from a/anB.
