Ask
people
to
name
the
world’s
tallest
peak
and
anybody
with
sound
general
knowledge
will
name
Mount
Qomolangma.But
quiz
them
on
its
exact
1
and
many
will
be
not
sure.?
In
1975,Chinese
surveyors
2
that
Mount
Qomolangma
was
8848.13
meters
high.As
3
improved,satellites,photoelectricity(光电学),radars
and
gravity
measurement
technologies
were
4
to
get
more
exact
figures.Of
course,someone
still
had
to
carry
5
to
what
is
the
world’s
rooftop.?
In
2005,a
Chinese
team
scaled
Qomolangma
and
found
that
it
was
not
as
high
as
that,as
they
6
the
height
to
be
8844.43
meters.Scaling
Qomolangma
is
no
7
task.The
average
air
temperature
there
is
-29
degrees
Celsius,even
four
degrees
8
than
in
Antarctica.The
snow
there
is
4-5
meters
thick
and
hurricane-like
9
blow
all
the
time.Team
members
were
trained
to
10
the
extreme
conditions.?
In
a
nutshell,measuring
the
Qomolangma’s
height
is
a
tall
order, 11
huge
amounts
of
money
and
human
resources.But
it
is
worth
the
12 .Qomolangma
is
the
perfect
13
for
observing
crustal(地壳的)
movements.And
changes
to
the
peak’s
height
could
14
whether
the
two
plates
are
heading
toward
or
away
from
each
other.?
Besides,the
condition
of
snow
and
other
natural
materials
at
the
top
is
an
indicator
of
upcoming
climate
change
on
the
Tibet-Qinghai
Plateau.That’s
15
measuring
Qomolangma’s
height
is
so
significant.Put
to
good
use,it
can
benefit
mankind.?

Icebergs
are
giant
blocks
of
ice
that
float
in
the
sea.They
come
in
many
1 (shape),sizes,and
colors.Some
are
deep
blue
or
green.Some
look
like
2 (float)
sculptures.Old
icebergs
that
have
been
worn
down
by
the
weather
sometimes
look
like
pillars
of
ice.?
How
is
3
iceberg
formed?Icebergs
begin
and
end
in
the
ocean.First,moisture
from
the
ocean
rises
into
the
air
and
4
(move)
up
into
Earth’s
atmosphere.Over
Antarctica, 5
air
is
cold,the
water
falls
as
snow.As
layers
of
snow
develop,their
heavy
weight
presses
down
and
turns
the
snow
to
ice
in
the
polar
climate.In
fact,90
percent
of
all
the
world’s
ice
is
on
the
continent
of
Antarctica.Huge
areas
of
ice
6
(call)
ice
sheets
and
glaciers
move
slowly
across
the
continent
toward
the
sea.The
fastest-moving
Antarctic
glacier
moves
about
1.25
miles
in
a
year.?
7
(usual),only
about
one-fifth
of
an
iceberg
appears
above
the
surface
of
the
water.The
other
four-fifths
of
the
“berg” 8
(hide)
underwater,out
of
sight.Sometimes,an
iceberg
has
9
is
called
a
“foot,”
an
extension
completely
underwater.These
are
especially
10
(danger)
for
ships.It
was
an
iceberg
“foot”
that
sank
the
Titanic
in
1912,killing
1,503
people.?
Every
year,thousands
of
new
icebergs
are
formed
in
the
ocean
around
Antarctica.If
you’re
lucky,you’ll
get
to
see
one
someday.
参考答案

UNIT4 语言运用
Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了测量珠穆朗玛峰高度的艰难以及其重要性。
1.D 根据下文的1975年以及2005年对珠峰高度的测量可知,此处指的是对于它的精准高度(height),仍有人不很确定。
2.A 根据下文提到的应用先进的科技去进行进一步的测量可知,此空指的是中国的测量员确定(determined)珠峰的高度是8848.13米。
3.B 根据下文的“satellites,photoelectricity,radarsandgravitymeasurementtechnologieswere togetmoreexactfigures”可知,卫星、光电学、雷达和重力测量技术都属于科技(technology)领域。?
4.A 根据下文的“togetmoreexactfigures”可知,这些高科技被运用(employed)到测量珠峰精确的高度中。
5.C 根据常识可知,测量是需要设备仪器的,此处指的是需要携带一些设备(instruments)登山。
6.B 根据上文的“In2005,aChineseteamscaledQomolangmaandfoundthatitwasnotashighasthat”以及下文的“theheighttobe8844.43meters”可知,此处指的是中国登山队在2005年计算(calculated)的珠峰的高度是8844.43米。
7.B 根据下文的“Theaverageairtemperaturethereis-29degreesCelsius,evenfourdegrees thaninAntarctica.”可知,测量珠峰并不是一件容易的(easy)事。?
8.D 根据“-29degreesCelsius”和“even”可知,此处表示珠峰的温度比南极洲还要低(lower)4摄氏度。
9.C 根据下文的“blow”可知,此处表示风(winds)。
10.A 根据“theextremeconditions”可知,此处表示队员们为了应对(copewith)珠峰的极端条件而接受训练。
11.D 根据“hugeamountsofmoneyandhumanresources”可知,测量珠峰的高度需要投入(involving)大量的人力和物力。
12.A 根据文章最后的“Puttogooduse,itcanbenefitmankind.”可知,如果使用得当,它可以造福人类。由此推测,这项任务值得去努力(effort)。
13.B 根据下文的“observingcrustalmovements”可知,珠峰是观测地壳运动的最佳窗口(window)。
14.C 珠峰两次测量高度的变化,能表明(indicate)两个板块是朝着相向还是相反的方向运动。
15.C 本句在讲述测量珠峰高度的重要性。所以此处为why引导的表语从句。
Ⅱ.【语篇导读】本文是说明文。每年有数百万冰山在南极周围的海洋出现。那么,这些冰山是如何形成的呢?
1.shapes 考查名词复数。shape是可数名词,根据many可知要用复数形式。
2.floating 考查非谓语动词。like是介词,后接动词时要用-ing形式。
3.an 考查冠词。iceberg是以元音音素开头的单数可数名词,所以填an。
4.moves 考查时态。所填的词与rises一起构成并列谓语,所以填moves。
5.where 考查定语从句。先行词是表示地点的名词,关系词在定语从句中作地点状语,所以填where。
6.called 考查非谓语动词。call和Hugeareasofice有逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用动词-ed形式作定语。
7.Usually 考查副词。所填的词修饰整个句子,所以用副词形式。
8.ishidden 考查语态。hide和主语有动宾关系,所以用被动语态。
9.what 考查名词性从句。宾语从句缺少主语,所以填what。
10.dangerous 考查形容词。所填的词作表语,所以用形容词形式。UNIT4

Deep
in
the
forest,my
husband
and
I
had
climbing
over
and
crawling
under
the
downed
trees
that
blocked
the
dirt
path
before
us.It
was
May,yet
we
walked
up
a
snow-covered
hill.When
we
noticed
our
jeans
were
wet
up
to
our
knees,it
did
not
dampen
our
spirits.Not
once
did
we
say,“Let’s
turn
around.”
This
was
our
vacation,and
we
were
on
an
adventure.Little
did
we
know
this
was
the
beginning
of
many
more
surprises.
The
trail
was
marked
as
an
easy
one-kilometer
hike,yet
we
were
already
walking
a
long
distance.Our
lightheartedness
stopped
when
we
came
out
into
a
clearing
and
saw
a
parking
lot
without
our
rental
car
in
it.As
my
eyes
scanned
the
surroundings,nothing
looked
familiar.My
heart
raced.I
realized
we
were
lost
in
a
national
park
that
did
not
officially
open
for
another
week.
Usually,I
am
the
calm
one
in
the
relationship,but
my
husband
surprised
me
with
his
calmness.This
did
not
comfort
me.In
fact,it
heightened
my
fear.As
we
walked,I
asked
my
husband
to
call
for
help,but
there
was
no
cell-phone
signal
in
this
isolated
(偏僻的)
area.
It
was
awfully
quiet
except
for
our
footsteps
hitting
the
road,and
my
heavy
breathing.My
husband
suggested
we
conserve
energy
and
walk
slower.With
each
step
on
the
road,my
feet
and
thighs
hurt
while
my
mind
raced
with
thoughts
about
people
who
got
lost
in
the
Canadian
woods
for
days.
My
vision
sharpened.I
noticed
everything
around
me:the
trees,rocks
and
snow.I
thought
we
could
eat
the
snow
on
the
ground
in
case
we
needed
water.For
the
first
time
in
my
life,I
was
ready
and
willing
to
get
a
ride,but
we
did
not
meet
with
a
single
car
on
the
road.Silently,I
prayed
multiple
times.We
focused
on
each
other,made
joint
decisions
and
connected
through
gratitude.We
managed
to
stay
on
the
main
road
and
walked
straight
on.

Ⅱ. Myhusbandsuddenlyspottedasmallbuildingonahillinthedistance.In
no
time
did
we
find
ourselves
heading
for
it.We
were
filled
with
hope
and
excitement
to
find
such
a
building
in
the
middle
of
nowhere.We
climbed
up
the
hill
at
a
swinging
pace
as
if
all
the
pains
were
gone.As
we
approached,a
sign
came
into
sight,which
read:Administration
Office.However,it
was
not
open
for
business.The
empty
hall
made
us
nervous
all
at
once.We
stood
there
hopelessly
wondering
what
to
do
next.

and
opened
a

we

treated
us
with

out
that
our

offered
us
a

back
to

we
accepted
gladly.I

a

such
an
