Ⅳ. 阅读理解
The earth is the only planet that scientists think has life. Why does the earth have life while the other planets（行星）don’t? For one thing, the earth is just the right temperature. As the third planet from the sun, the earth seems to be just the right distance away. The planets which are closer to the sun are hot that their surfaces bake（烘烤）in the sun. The farthest planets are cold balls.
When the earth developed—which scientists believe may have happened about 4 billion years ago—many gases covered the earth. The gases caused the earth to be hot. But something wonderful happened. The temperature was just right for thick clouds to form. It rained very hard for a very long time. This gave the earth its oceans. Water made it possible for plants to grow. The plants created oxygen in the atmosphere. Oxygen is the gas that humans and animals breathe.
Only the other planet in the solar system seems to be something like the earth. That planet is Mars（火星）. Mars is smaller than the earth, and it is quite a bit cooler. But it is not too cold for humans. On some days, the temperatures are as low as a winter day in the northern United States. If you wore a special space suit, you could walk around on Mars. You would have to bring your own air to breathe; the air on Mars is too thin to breathe.
Mars has the largest volcano（火山）in the solar system. It is sixteen miles high. The highest volcano on the earth is five miles high. The most unexpected（未预料到的）sight on Mars is dried-up river beds. Scientists believe that Mars was once much better that it is now. Does this mean there could have been living things on Mars? Scientists are not sure, but there has been no sign so far.
1. Which of the following is NOT the reason that the earth has life?
A. The earth is just the right temperature.
B. The volcanos on earth are lower than those on Mars.
C. There is oxygen in the atmosphere of the earth.
D. The earth seems to be just the right distance away from the sun.
2. The underlined phrase“the third planet”in the first paragraph refers to _________.
A. the Sun B. the Moon
C. the Earth D. the Mars
3. Which of the following about the Mars is NOT true?
A. There could have been living things on Mars.
B. Mars has the largest volcano in the solar system.
C. There is almost no oxygen in the air on Mars.
D. Mars is smaller than the earth, and it is quite a bit cooler.
4. Which of the following is probably the best title for the passage?
A. The Earth
B. The Moon
C. Planets in the Solar System
D. Mars is Most Like the Earth

答案与解析
1. B 句意：不是教育体制本身而是执行这种制度的方法需要改进。故答案应选system。
2. C match多指大小、颜色、形状、性质等方面的搭配。本题中提到皮靴与裙子在颜色方面相配，故选C项。
3. D 句意：她的鞋和衣服很搭配，二者搭配看起来很不错。suit指条件、口味等合乎需要；fit指大小、尺寸合适；compare比较，对照；match指颜色、款式等的搭配。
4. D 句意：如果你的知识和我的经历以某种方式相结合的话，我们肯定会成功。combine sth. with sth. 是指“某物与某物相结合”。
5. A 句意：你不能在备考的同时到处参加社交活动。combine有“同时从事（两件完全不同的事）”之意；join意为“合并为一个整体”；compare意为“比较”；compete意为“竞争，比赛”，显然B、C、D三项不符合语境。
6. D owing to为介词短语，且aluminium与combine之间为被动关系，故选D。
7. C 从句意“村民们在协议达成之前的那些年里，彼此之间经常发生冲突”来分析，所谓的冲突不应是A项的“有趣的”，也不应是B项的“平安的，和平的”；既然是彼此之间发生的事情，D项的“精神冲突”亦不合适，只有C项“暴力冲突”才符合句意。
8. A 本题考查形容词的用法。A项意为“暴力的”；B项意为“安静的”；C项意为“高兴的”；D项意为“快乐的”。从整个语境来看，B、C、D三项均不符合题意。因此正确答案为A项。
9. A 本题考查时态的用法。从上下文语境可知，此处应用一般现在时。
10. B the exploding world population意为：迅猛增长的世界人口。
11. D 句意：各种可能的方法都用了，但是他们还是不能提前完成任务。ahead of time意为“提前”。
12. B 从全句来看，此处指“迟早你会成功的”。in time意为“迟早，总有一天”，其余选项意思不对。
13. B 考查固定词组的用法。in case以防；in turn依次，反过来；in return作为回报；in addition另外，还。句意：有些植物吸收我们呼出的二氧化碳，反过来释放出氧气。
14. D 熟练掌握动词及动词短语的意思，能区分及物和不及物动词或动词短语是做此类题的关键。句意：多年后她又出现在伦敦。A、B、C三项都有“出现、露面”之意，D项语态不对，应用被动语态。
15. A 从上下文语境来看，此处表达的意思应是“吸烟有害健康”。故选A项。D项应与for连用。
16. B 本题结构稍显复杂，仔细分析可以看出“the modern farming methods have done _________ the countryside”是定语从句，其前省略了关系代词that/which。the harm是先行词，被其定语从句修饰，定语从句中的关系代词应该作have done的宾语。由此，可以看出其句子中所包含的短语是do harm to“对……有害”，故答案应选介词to。
17. D 本题既考查encourage的用法，也考查主谓一致的问题。从句意分析，主语employees与encourage之间是被动关系，应用被动语态；从结构上分析，all the employees是主语，except the manager是介词短语，由主谓一致原则可知，谓语动词应用复数形式。
18. B 本题是一道句意理解题。从结构上看，it为形式主语，空格内填的成分是作真正主语的不定式；从语义上分析，此处意为“在实验室里繁殖细菌”。
19. D 句意：你的协助增加了我们成功的机会。challenge挑战；enrich丰富；accumulate积累；multiply增加。
20. B 此处指“选举的新的进展情况”，故选B项。而C项表示的是“某一特定时间的状况”。
21. B 本题考查动词的词义和用法。develop“形成，开发，发展”；develop a habit of…“形成……的习惯”。
22. C 由题意可知后一句表示“幼苗现在长成了大树”，表示“长成”应用grow into。grow表示“生长”时，是不及物动词，也就没有被动语态。
23. D 句意：随着时间的流逝，她对他的不喜欢源于他的不良行为。grow out of意为“产生于，源于”。
24. A 句意：中国发明了造纸术并传到了北美和欧洲。A项意为“传播、流传”；B项意为“种植、生长”；C项意为“输送、携带”；D项意为“发展、发育”，故只有spread符合句意。
25. D 此题考查的是动词的用法。根据上下文语境可知，此处表示“病毒的传播”。float意为“漂流”；arrive意为“到达”；develop意为“开发，研制”；spread意为“传播，流传”。
26. C 第一空涉及结构devote…to…（把……奉献给……），其中to是介词，而不是不定式符号。第二空从表面上看涉及prevent…from…结构，但其实不是。因为在prevent sb. from doing sth. （阻止某人做某事）这一结构中，prevent后的宾语（sb. ）应与其后的动名词之间有逻辑上的主谓关系，而此句中的“污染”与“生活愉快”之间没有这种关系，所以不适宜用prevent…from…结构。live happily是前面行为的目的，故应用不定式作目的状语。
27. C whether引导主语从句。这是一道集语法与常识于一体的测试题。B项虽然也有“是否”的意思，但它不能放在句首。A、D两项不符合题意。
28. A 本题中it为形式主语，连接词引导的是主语从句，且含有“是否”的意思，故选A项。
29. B 句意：他们是否去颐和园得看天气。if引导主语从句时不能置于句首，故只能用whether。
30. D A、B、C、D四个短语中，前三个都有“信任，信赖”的意思。deal with意为“应付，处理”。根据语境可知，只有D项不符合。
31. B 对话问句用how often提问，答语中出现的“usually once a week”就是对how often的回答，而but又使得答语在语义上有转折，因此选B项，意思是“得看情况”。
32. A depend on意为“取决于”。rely on/count on意为“指望，依靠”。
33. D 此题考查的是动词的用法。从上下文语境可知，第一句要表达的意思是“你相信上帝的确存在吗？”exist意为“存在”。如：This question doesn’t exist. 这个问题不存在。
34. B come into existence为不及物动词短语，意为“开始存在”。
35. B give birth to为固定搭配，意为“生产，生下”。此处who gave birth to twins last night为定语从句，修饰先行词the woman。A、C、D三项构成的结构均不对。
36. A cool down意为“冷静下来；镇静下来”。
37. A 本题考查动词辨析。lay放置；choose选择；get得到；have有，根据句意桌子应该是被放置，选择laid。
38. B 由句子结构可知，空格处与we’ll go climbing tomorrow一起作句子的主语，此句是主语从句。分析句意可知，C、D两项不符合句意；if引导主语从句时不位于句首；whether引导主语从句时可置于句首。
39. C 句中is前面的部分为主语从句，从句中含有“have…in common”短语，因此前一空格中的连词应作have的宾语；后一空格中的连词引导表语从句，从句中succeeded为不及物动词，因此该连词不充当句子成分。that引导名词性从句时不在从句中充当句子成分。
40. D found此处为过去分词作后置定语，用来修饰things，与things构成逻辑上的动宾关系。句意：这是今年到目前为止在因特网上发现的最滑稽的事情之一。
41. C 很显然对于孩子们的学习应该是“鼓励”比“强迫”好。
42. B 句中的“I could think of”为定语从句，空格内的结构用来修饰way，故用不定式，C项不符合句意。
43. C B项虽也有“乘”的意思，但不能作谓语。
44. B It all depends. 视情况而定。
45. A in time意为“及时”；on time意为“准时，按时”。
46. C be harmful to意为“对……有害”。
47. C spread意为“传播，流传”。
48. D 本题考查的是主语从句。whether表示“是否”，符合句意，而if引导主语从句时不位于句首。
49. D keep…from中的from不能省略。have sb. doing…“使某人一直在做某事”，与句意不符。protect…from“保护……免受……”。句意：我们必须采取措施制止人们到处扔垃圾。故只有D项正确。
50. B a friendly atmosphere“友好氛围”。句意：这家宾馆总是住满了人，因为它提供一种友好氛围和私人服务。
51. B 分析句子结构可知，第一个空格处所填词what在句中作主语，同时在此处引导的从句为主语从句。第二个空格处所填词that引导的是表语从句，句意完整，that仅起连接作用，不作任何句子成分，that从句是what从句的具体内容。
52. B grow into不能用于被动语态，而此处用现在完成时态最符合题意。
53. B combine…with…意为“把……和……组成一个整体”。
54. B 只有explode表示“爆炸”的意思，符合句意。
55. B develop the habit of意为“养成……的习惯”。
56. D encourage的搭配用法应为encourage sb. to do sth. ，意为“鼓励某人做某事”。
57. D 本题考查表语从句。只有表示“是否”意思的词才符合全句的意思，虽然if也表示“是否”之意，但它不能充当表语从句的连接词。
58. A 本题考查表语从句和whether与if的区别。本题选择whether的理由同上题。
59. D 句意：这次交通事故中只有8名乘客幸存下来。survive“幸存；生存下来”；succeed“成功”与句意不符；exist“存在；生存”是不及物动词；save是及物动词，应该用被动形式。
60. C in time for sth. “赶上（做）某事”，句意：他相信在下届选举前结果会及时呈现。on time准时；in no time马上，立刻；in time及时，都不接宾语。
61. C 考查名词辨析。theory意为“学说”；custom意为“风俗”；system意为“制度”；religion意为“宗教，信仰”。句意：新政党掌权后，他们改变了很多旧的制度。根据句意可知正确答案为C项。
62. A match up to意为“相当；配得上”；make up with意为“和好”；go up to意为“走过去”；catch up with意为“赶上”。根据句意应选A项。
