答案与解析:
1.got/gotten ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) 考查动词。句意:你已经把需要的东西都备齐了吗?现在完成时的基本构成是“have/has+动词的过去分词”,所以此处应填get的过去分词got/gotten。
2.so 考查省略。句意: ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )是的,护士,我想我已经备齐了(我认为如此)。so作代词,意为“这样”,I think so是“I think I have got everything I need”的省略。
3.belongings 考查词 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )性转换。句意:我听从医院的建议,而且我只随身带了几件物品。根据a few可知,此处应用名词形式。belonging作名词,多用作复数,意为“附属品,拥有物”。
4.why 考查定语从句。句意:很 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )好,你会明白我们要求你这样做的原因。根据句意可知,用关系副词why引导定语从句,修饰先行词reasons,意为“……的原因”。
5.really 考查词性转换。句意:这个橱柜真的是太小了。修饰形容词small用副词。
6.to 考查介词。句意:探视时间是 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )下午2:30至4:30,晚上7:00至8:00。from...to...从……到……。上文的“...from 2:30 to 4:30”也为此空的填写提供了依据。
7.different 考查词性转 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )换。句意:这和我一直以来的习惯非常不同。此句是主系表结构且空格前有副词very修饰,所以可以推测出此处应填形容词different。
8.smoking 考查非谓语动词。句意:你可以看到“禁烟”标志。no相当于not a/an或not any,修饰名词或动名词。
9.goes 考查一般现在时及主谓一致 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )。句意:我们不允许在病房里吸烟,同样也不允许饮酒。the same是the same rule的省略,所以谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。go for在此意为“适用于”。
10.do need 考查强调句。句意:如果你的确需要吸烟,这有专门的房间。“do/did+动词原形”表示强调,意为“的确,确实。”《Module 1 Europe Introduction & Reading》

The Galapagos Islan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ds are in the Pacific Ocean, off the western coast of South America. They are a rocky,lonely spot,but they are also one of the most unusual places in the world.One reason is that they are the home of some of the last giant tortoises(龟) left on earth.
Weighing hundreds o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f pounds, these tortoises go slowly around the rocks and sand of the islands. Strangely, each of these islands has its own particular kinds of tortoises. There are seven different kinds of tortoises on the eight islands, and each kind is slightly different from the other.
Hundreds of years ag ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o, thousands of tortoises were around these islands. However, all that changed when people started landing there. When people first arrived in 1535, crews would seize as many tortoises as they could. They would roll the tortoises onto their backs when they were brought onto the ships. The tortoises were completely helpless once on their backs, so they could lie there until used for soups and stews. Almost 100,000 tortoises were carried off in this way.
The tortoises faced o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ther problems, too. Soon after the first ships, settlers arrived, bringing pigs, goats, donkeys, dogs and cats. All of these animals ruined life for the tortoises. Donkeys and goats ate all the plants that the tortoises usually fed on, while the pigs, dogs and cats ate thousands of baby tortoises each year. Within a few years,it was hard to find any tortoise eggs—or even any baby tortoises.
Finally, in the 19 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )50s, scientists decided that something must be done. The first part of their plan was to remove as many cats, dogs and other animals as they could from the islands. Next, they tried to make sure that more baby tortoises would be born. This slow, hard work continues today, and, thanks to it, the number of tortoises is now increasing every year. Perhaps these wonderful animals will not disappear after all.

Urbanization
Until relative ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ly recently, the vast majority of human beings lived and died without ever seeing a city. The first city was probably founded no more than 5 500 years ago. __1__ In fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural (乡村的) villages. It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in history—a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living.
Britain was o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nly the beginning. __2__ The process of urbanization—the migration (迁徙) of people from the countryside to the city—was the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live.
In 1900, fewer than 4 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )0% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms. __3__
Large cities were impo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ssible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies, it took about ninety five people on farms to feed five people in cities. __4__ Until modern times, those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite (精英) and the servants, laborers and professionals who served them. Cities survived by taxing farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus food that the rural population produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city.
Over the past two cent ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uries, the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country. __5__ Today, instead of needing ninety five farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non farmers.
A. That kept cities very small.
B. The rest live in small towns.
C. The effects of urban living on people should be considered.
D. Soon many other industrial nations became urban societies.
E. But even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities.
F. Modernizati ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive.
G. Modern cities ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) have destroyed social relations and the health of human beings.
