12、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,radars and gravity measurement technologies were to get more exact figures”可知,卫星、光电学、雷达和重力测量技术都属于科
13、技(technology)领域。4.A根据下文的“to get more exact figures”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“In 2005,a Chinese team scaled Qomolangma and found that it was not as high as that”以及下文的“the height to be 8844.43 meters”可知,此处指的是中国登山队在2005年计算(calculated)的珠峰
14、的高度是8844.43米。7.B根据下文的“The average air temperature there is -29 degrees Celsius,even four degrees than in Antarctica.”可知,测量珠峰并不是一件容易的(easy)事。8.D根据“-29 degrees Celsius”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“the extreme conditions”可知,此处表示队员们为了应对(cope with)珠峰的极端条件而接受训
15、练。11.D根据“huge amounts of money and human resources”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“Put to good use,it can benefit mankind.”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“observing crustal movements”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
16、量珠峰高度的重要性。所以此处为why引导的表语从句。.【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Huge areas of ice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.is hidden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。
