10、t sight of an unusual animal during his first visit to Australia.The animal had a large mouse like head and jumped along on its large legs.To his great surprise，the unusual animal carried its young in a special pocket of flesh.Captain Cook pointed to the animal which was eating grass in the distance
11、 and asked his native guide what the animal was referred to.The guide seemed not to know what he was pointing at and finally said“kangaroo”，which Cook carefully wrote down as the animals name in his word book.The Europeans who later got to Australia were anxious to see the unusual animal “Kangaroo”，
12、but their requests were met with puzzled looks of the native people.Before long they got to discover that the native guide who made the answer to Cooks question really meant，“I dont know what you are pointing at.”Funny enough，the name “Kangaroo” stuck and it is still in use today.1Which of the follo

17、over(3)through(4)past(5)through解析(1)through表示“从事物的里面穿过”或“从长形物的一头到另一头”，强调从中间穿过。(2)across表示“从这一边到另一边”，从表面进行，也指横向穿过。(3)over表示“从人或事物上空经过、越过”。(4)past表示“从人或事物旁边经过”，意义与by相似。2(1)all together(2)altogether(3)all together解析(1)altogether意为“总共”或“完全地”。(2)all together意为在“同一个地方或同一时间”。3(1)was tired of(2)was tired wi
18、th/from(3)am tired of解析(1)be tired of意为“厌倦/厌烦”“讨厌”(2)be tired with/from意为“因累得筋疲力尽”。.1.Cafterwards和later都表示“后来”；next time表示“下次”；in advance表示“预先”。因为请求别人帮忙，故由语境得知是事先感谢别人。2Ainteresting 令人感兴趣的，tired 感到疲劳的。根据句意“我们大家都知道，旅游是有趣的，但当旅游归来后，我们常感到很疲惫。”可知应选A。3A句意为：你们认识很久了吗？不算久，是从我们进入公司工作开始认识的。答句中用了省略形式，完整的表达应当是：we
19、 have known each other since we started to work in the company。4A句意为：汤姆下决心弄到一张音乐会的票，即使那意味着要整个晚上排队。even if意为“即使”，引导让步状语从句，符合句意。as long as只要，as soon as和until引导时间状语从句，均不合题意。5C由句中with natural gas可知，应用supply。若用offer，则应为.offer some eastern provinces natural gas from the west of China。offer sb. sth.(offer
20、sth. to sb.)意为“向某人提供某物”。6Cwhatever引导让步状语从句，句意为：无论有什么困难，如果我们有坚强的意志，就能克服它。7D这是考查“祈使句and主句”的句型，表示“如果，你就会”的意思，答案只能选择go才符合祈使句的结构。8A句意为：我来的时候，他们正忙着做一个试验。be busy doing sth.忙于干某事；be busy with后接名词或代词。9A根据since引导的时间状语从句可排除B、C、D三项；应用现在完成进行时表示从过去某时开始到现在一段时间里一直在进行的动作，故选A。10CA、B和D项表示人的主观愿望，而the Stars打败the Bulls并不
21、受某个人的主观意志制约，C项表示“期望；料想”，故选C。.1.C选C。A、D两项均从文中找不到依据；B项虽符合文中事实，但并非文章主旨，故选C。2B由文中“.animal carried its young in a special pocket of flesh.”可知这个袋子是育儿袋，用来装小袋鼠的。3D由文中“.I dont know what you are pointing at.”可知答案，D项与此句同义。4DCaptain Cook因不懂澳大利亚土著人的语言，误把“Kangaroo”理解成“袋鼠”，导致将错就错，英语中就保留了这个词。可见共同的语言，对相互交流的重要性，所以答案为D。
