Ⅳ.课文语法填空
The
Mysteries
of
the
Maya
Extending
south
from
parts
of
what
we
now
know
as
Mexico
into
Central
America,
Maya
civilisation
1.________
(surround)
by
mystery
since
its
rediscovery
in
the
19th
century.
The
Maya
built
2.________(impress)
palaces
and
temples.
3.________
is
most
extraordinary
about
these
complex
structures
is
how
they
were
built
without
the
use
of
wheels,
metal
tools
or
even
animal
power.
They
applied
their
understanding
of
mathematics
and
astronomy
4.________
the
Maya
calendar,
which
was
accurate
to
within
30
seconds
per
year.
On
top
of
all
this
was
an
achievement
unique
in
the
Americas
at
that
time:
a
true
writing
system.
It
was
a
writing
system
so
complicated
that,
so
far,
no
one
has
been
able
to
interpret
it
5.________
(complete).
The
fact
that
Maya
society
was
technologically
primitive
makes
its
achievements
more
incredible
and
mysterious.
Meanwhile,
the
rise
and
fall
of
this
civilisation
must
also
leave
us
6.________
(think)
about
our
past,
present
and
future.
By
700
AD,
Maya
civilisation
was
at
7.________
(it)
peak.
Yet,
within
a
couple
of
generations,
it
began
to
mysteriously
decline.
The
cities
were
left
8.________
(take)
back
by
the
jungle.
Some
research
seems
to
indicate
that
the
Maya
people
themselves
may
have
played
a
part
in
their
downfall.
Research
also
suggests
that
those
natural
9.________
(disaster)
may
have
led
to
the
decline
of
the
Maya.
10.________
the
reasons,
Maya
civilisation
largely
disappeared
within
the
deep
jungle.

Ⅰ.阅读
It
seems
we
can't
get
off
the
planet
fast
enough.
Two
thirds
of
NASA's
money
is
spent
on
manned
space
exploration.
We've
seen
all
we
can
see
on
Earth,
right?
Wrong.
The
final
place
is
here,
under
the
surface
of
the
sea.
When
we
are
heading
down
into
the
ocean,
human
limits
are
quickly
reached.
At
a
depth
of
200
metres,
the
water
is
as
black
as
a
moonless
night.
Most
nuclear
submarines
(核潜艇)
would
implode
(内爆)
before
they
reach
1
km
down.
At
a
depth
of
3
km—still
less
than
the
average
depth
of
the
ocean—there's
a
good
chance
that
you'll
discover
a
new
species.
The
deepest?diving
whales
go
no
further.
At
the
very
bottom,
about
11
km
down,
lies
the
Challenger
Deep,
the
deepest
part
of
the
Mariana
Trench
in
the
Pacific
Ocean.
Twelve
humans
have
walked
on
the
Moon,
but
only
three
have
seen
the
Challenger
Deep
with
their
own
eyes.
Yet
things
live
down
there.
Big
things.
A
very
loud
sound
was
once
heard
and
scientists
suggested
that
it
was
produced
by
an
animal
bigger
than
a
blue
whale,
the
largest
creature
known
on
the
planet.
In
the
late
1990s,
a
deep?water
submarine
was
dropped
in
the
Southern
Ocean,
and
passing
4,000
metres,
it
discovered
something
huge
passing
under
it.
Surprised?
Don't
be.
The
ocean
covers
71%
of
the
planet's
surface
and
we've
studied
less
than
5%
of
it.
We
know
more
about
the
dark
side
of
the
Moon
than
about
the
bottom
of
the
sea.
One
reason
that
we
explore
space
is
to
find
evidence
of
other
life
forms.
The
search
for
life
outside
of
Earth
is
important,
but
robots
can
look
under
the
dry
rock
on
Mars
better
than
humans.
They're
absolutely
important
for
doing
ocean
research
too,
but
they
can't
look
under
the
sea.
The
cost
of
exploration
is
rising,
but
the
results
would
benefit
all
our
lives.
Perhaps
now
it's
time
to
begin
a
new
period
of
sea
exploration.
Manned
exploration
of
space
is
science
fiction.
The
adventure
in
the
deep
sea
is
a
science
fact.
1.What
do
the
examples
in
Paragraph
2
suggest?
A.Sea
exploration
is
no
easy
task.
B.Nuclear
submarines
need
to
be
improved.
C.The
ocean
is
far
deeper
than
people
expected.
D.The
condition
under
the
sea
is
similar
to
that
on
the
Moon.
2.What
do
we
know
about
the
Challenger
Deep?
A.Blue
whales
live
there.
B.No
one
has
ever
been
there.
C.People
are
terrified
at
the
sight
of
it.
D.It
is
the
deepest
known
location
in
the
ocean.
3.What
does
the
author
think
of
the
discovery
in
the
Southern
Ocean?
A.It's
surprising.
B.It's
no
wonder.
C.It's
worrying.
D.It's
no
success.
4.What
does
the
author
want
to
tell
us?
A.Space
exploration
is
of
little
value.
B.We
spend
too
much
money
on
space
travel.
C.Humans'
success
lies
in
how
much
they
explore
the
sea.
D.The
ocean
is
the
place
where
we
should
make
our
efforts.
Ⅱ.七选五
Social
media,
magazines
and
shop
windows
bombard
people
daily
with
things
to
buy,
and
British
consumers
are
buying
more
clothes
and
shoes
than
ever
before.
In
Britain,the
average
person
spends
more
than
£1,000
on
new
clothes
a
year,
which
is
around
four
percent
of
their
income.
__1__
But
it
hides
two
far
more
worrying
trends
for
society
and
for
the
environment.
First,a
lot
of
that
consumer
spending
is
via
credit
cards.
British
people
currently
owe
approximately
£670
per
adult
to
credit
card
companies.
That's
66
percent
of
the
average
wardrobe
budget.
Also,not
only
are
people
spending
money
they
don't
have,they're
using
it
to
buy
things
they
don't
need.
__2__
People
might
not
realize
they
are
part
of
the
disposable
clothing
problem
because
they
donate
their
unwanted
clothes
to
charities.
__3__
Huge
quantities
end
up
being
thrown
away,
and
a
lot
of
clothes
that
charities
can't
sell
are
sent
abroad,
causing
even
more
economic
and
environmental
problems.
__4__
The
idea
originated
in
Canada
in
the
early
1990s
and
then
moved
to
the
US,
where
it
became
a
rejection
of
the
overspending
and
overconsumption
of
Black
Friday
and
Cyber
Monday
during
Thanksgiving
weekend.
__5__
Throughout
the
year,
Buy
Nothing
groups
organize
the
exchange
and
repair
of
items
they
already
own.
They
send
a
clear
message
to
companies
that
people
are
no
longer
willing
to
accept
the
environmental
and
human
cost
of
overconsumption.
A.That
might
not
sound
like
much.
B.But
charity
shops
can't
sell
all
those
unwanted
clothes.
C.The
British
people
are
deeply
shocked
by
the
unexpected
statistics.
D.However,
a
“buy
nothing”
trend
is
springing
up
in
opposition
to
consumerism.
E.Britain
throws
away
300,000
tons
of
clothing
a
year,
most
of
which
goes
into
landfill
sites.
F.On
Buy
Nothing
Day
people
organize
various
types
of
protests
and
cut
up
their
credit
cards.
G.Fast
fashion
goes
out
of
fashion
as
quickly
as
it
came
in
and
is
often
too
poor
quality
to
recycle.

Last
week
I
went
shopping
in
the
supermarket.
I
got
to
the
front
of
the
__1__
and
put
my
groceries
through
the
checkout.
I
was
about
to
pay,
when
I

I
__3__.Then
I
remembered
I

it
at
home
when
I
__4__

online.
All
I
had
was
$30
notes
and
some
coins
in
my

I
was
short
__5__
at

$25,
and
I

I
started
to
__6__
to
the
checkout
lady.
“I'm
sorry
that
I
stop
the
queue.
Can
I
put
these
things
back?
And
then
I
think
I'll

Oh,
no,
I
need
these.”
An
Irish
lady
was
__8__
behind
me,
next

queue.“Excuse
me,
Dear,”
she
said.
“Oh,
I'm
so
sorry,”
I

“and
I'm
__9__
you

course
not.
I
know
__10__
you

This

all
of
us
at
some
point.
Now
please
use
my
__11__
to
pay
the
bill
and
you
can
be
on
your
way.”
I
was
astonished
by
her
kindness,
__12__
even.
No
matter
how
I
insisted
otherwise,
she
was
__13__
to
help
me.
Afterwards
I
asked
for
her
telephone
number
to
__14__
and
pay
her
back.
“No,”
she
said,
“rather
pay
it
forward.
You
may
do
a
good
deed
for
the
next
person
in
need.”
By
helping
others,
can
we

of
positive

and
charity
that
can
benefit
our
whole
society?

Ⅳ.语法填空
Everyone
has
their
own
unique
fingerprint,
1.________
makes
fingerprints
an
ideal
way
to
unlock
smartphones.
However,
this
may
be
2.________
(safe)
than
we
think.
Scientists
at
New
York
University
and
Michigan
State
University
in
the
US
have
developed
a
set
of
fake
fingerprints.
They
say
that
the

3.________
unlock
any

smartphone
up
to
65
percent
of
the
time.
The
artificial
fingerprints
4.________
(create)
by
using
many
common
features
found
in
human
prints.
They
work
5.________
taking
advantage
of
the
way
smartphone
scanners
check
a
fingerprint.
The
fingerprint
scanners
6.________
(use)
in
smartphones
are
so
small
that
they
only
read
parts
of
fingerprints.
So
they
have
to
take
many
scans
of
your
finger
or
thumb
(拇指)
7.________
they
work
properly.
Smartphones
also
let
users
save
several
finger
and
thumb
prints.
Since
a
print
only
has
to
match
one
of
the
saved
images
8.________
(unlock)
the
phone,
the
scanner
is
more
likely
to
make
mistakes.
Although
the
scientists
have
only
tested
their
findings
in
computer
simulations
(模拟),
9.________
(worry)
about
the
safety
of
using

are
reasonable.
They

civilisation与surround之间为被动关系,因此用现在完成时的被动语态。
2.impressive 考查词性转换。修饰palaces
and
temples应用形容词形式。
3.What 考查名词性从句。________
is
most
extraordinary
about
these
complex
structures为主语从句,从句中缺少主语,表示“……的事情”,因此用连接代词What。
4.to 考查介词。apply...to...把……应用到……。

humans
have
walked
on
the
Moon,
but
only
three
have
seen
the
Challenger
Deep
with

bottom,about
11
km
down,
lies
the
Challenger
Deep,
the

3.B 细节理解题。由第四段中的“it
discovered
something
huge
passing
under
it”和“Surprised?

1.A 空前提到“在英国,每人一年平均要花费超过1
000英镑买新衣服,大约是他们收入的百分之四”,A项“那听起来可能不是很多”承接上文,与下文“但是它隐含了两个对社会和环境更令人担心得多的趋势”是转折关系,上下文衔接紧密,A项中That指代空前一句中“more

£1,000”。故选A。
2.E 空前提到“人们不但花他们没有的钱,他们也花钱买他们不需要的东西”,E项“英国一年要扔掉30万吨衣服,大部分都去了垃圾填埋场”对空前提到的“花钱买不需要的东西”具体说明。故选E。
3.B 空前提到“人们可能没有意识到他们自己也是随意处理衣服问题的一部分,因为他们把不想要的衣服捐给慈善机构”,B项“但是慈善商店不能卖掉所有那些不想要的衣服”与空后“大量的衣服最终被扔掉”是讲慈善机构对人们捐的衣服的处理办法,上下文衔接紧密,B项中“charity”和“unwanted
clothes”都与上下文呼应。故选B。
4.D 空处位于句首,是段落主题句,根据本段内容“这个想法源于20世纪90年代早期的加拿大,然后传播到美国,它在美国成为一种在感恩周期间黑色星期五和网购星期一人们超支和过度消费的抵制”可知,D项“然而,一种与消费主义相反的‘不消费’趋势开始出现”切题,空后是对“不消费”趋势的解释说明,空后的“The
idea”指代D项中a
“buy
nothing”
trend。故选D。
5.F 空后“在全年的时间里,‘不消费’群体组织现有东西的交换和维修”是讲述“不消费”群体具体做什么,F项“在‘不消费日’,人们组织各种类型的抗议活动,并且剪碎他们的信用卡”也是说人们的做法,上下文衔接自然,F项中“Buy
Nothing
Day”与本段内容呼应。故选F。

Ⅳ.语法填空
1.which 考查定语从句。句意:每个人都有自己独特的指纹,这使指纹成为解锁智能手机的理想方式。指纹能成为解锁智能手机的方式,是因为指纹是独特的。此空应指代前面“每个人都有自己独特的指纹”这件事,空处引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。
2.less
safe 考查形容词的比较级。句意:然而,这可能没有我们想象的那么安全。根据后文可知,指纹解锁没有想象中的安全,同时根据句中“than”可以推测此处应用比较级。故填less
safe。
3.can 考查情态动词。科学家研制出了一套假指纹,他们说,这套指纹能解锁任何使用指纹的智能手机的几率高达65%。此处表示能力,意为“能,会”,应用情态动词can。
4.were
created/have
been
created 考查时态和语态。句意:人工指纹是利用在人类指纹中发现的许多共同特征创造出来的。主语The
artificial
fingerprints与create为动宾关系,故用被动语态。人工指纹是过去创造的,或表示现在已经完成的,可以用一般过去时或者现在完成时。故填were
created或者have
been
created。
5.by 考查介词。句意:它们利用智能手机扫描仪检查指纹的方式工作。work
by
doing
sth.通过某种方式工作。故填by。
6.used 考查非谓语动词。句意:智能手机上使用的指纹扫描仪非常小,只能读取部分指纹。use和The
fingerprint
scanners是动宾关系,用过去分词used做定语。
7.before 考查连词。句意:因此在它们正常工作之前,必须对你的手指或拇指进行多次扫描。根据逻辑关系可以推理,在智能手机使用指纹解锁功能之前,需要扫描手指上的指纹。故填before。
8.to
unlock 考查非谓语动词。句意:因为指纹只需要匹配其中一张保存的图片就可以解锁手机,所以扫描仪更有可能出错。此处用动词不定式表目的。故填to
unlock。
9.worries 考查名词复数。句意:关于使用指纹的安全性的担忧是合理的。该空做主句主语,用名词。根据句中系动词“are”可知,主语为复数形式worries。
10.extremely 考查副词。句意:他们警告说,用于创造人工指纹的技术发展得极快。修饰形容词“fast”,应用副词extremely。
