47、讲述我们这个激动人心的世界。分析句子结构可知，设空处为句子的谓语，结合状语 For more than a hundred years(一百多年来)及句意可知应使用现在完成时(have/has done)或现在完成进行时(have/has been doing)，表示动作“一直”进行，主语 the magazines stories and pictures(杂志的故事和图片)为复数，故填 have told/have been telling。【26 题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：互联网使信息易于查找。分析句子结构可知谓语为 makes，所以 find应用非谓语动词形式，make sth.+
48、adj.+to do 可视为固定结构，意为“让某事做起来.”。故填 to find。【27 题详解】考查地点状语从句。句意：我们相信我们的手机可以将我们带到我们想去的任何地方。分析句子结合句子可知此处包含一个地点状语从句，所以应使用 where 或 wherever 引导该从句，故填 where/wherever。【28 题详解】考查形容词比较级。句意：国家地理甚至也已超越了传统地理学，但这并不意味着地理学已变得不那么重要。根据句意“国家地理甚至也已超越了传统地理学”以及 but 表示的转折关系可知，此处应表示这不意味着传统地理学不那么重要，形容词使用比较级形式，“不那么重要”表达为 less
49、 important。故填 less important。【29 题详解】考查谓语动词。句意：地理，帮助寻找房屋，解决公共卫生问题，确定新企业的好地点，也被用来规划社区。根据 as well(和，也)可知这是一个并列复合句，动词 use(使用，用于)与主语 which 之间为被动关系，谓语动词应使用被动结构 be done，由语境以及 helps 可知时态为一般现在时，故填 is used。【30 题详解】考查冠词。句意：全世界都注意到，拥有地理专业学位的毕业生人数也在增加。根据句意可知，此处考查短语 the number of“的数量”。故填 the。Section BDirections:

142、dbeest,which is Dutch for beach beast.(它们被称为 Strandbeest，在荷兰语中是海滩野兽的意思)”以及后文“They are creations of Dutch artist Theo Jansen,and they can move themselves using nothing more than the power of the wind.(它们是荷兰艺术家Theo Jansen 的作品，仅靠风力就能自行移动)”可知，上文提到了 Strandbeest 这种作品，后文则提到了它的作家等情况，可推知本句与后文并列，也是在介绍 Strandb
143、eest 的信息，且 A选项中 beasts 对应上文中 beach beast。故 A 选项“但是这些野兽主要是由塑料管制成的”符合语境，故选 A。【68 题详解】根据上文“The beauty of these creations is that they have no electronic parts,yet they have a basic logic system that helps them walk in their habitat.Jansens creations look alive as they move with a steady,even motion on

148、推知，本句作为本段主旨句，总起后文，指出动态艺术不仅仅是让大型雕塑移动，且后文中 kinetic art 与 C 选项中 kinetic art 相对应。故 C 选项“动态艺术不仅仅是让大型雕塑移动”符合语境，故选 C。IV.Summary Writing71.Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than 60 words.Use your own words as far as possible.Train Yo

161、ish,using the words given in the brackets.72.足不出户，你就可以在网上逛遍全球各大博物馆。(without)(汉译英)【答案】You can visit all the major museums around the world online without even leaving your home.【解析】【详解】考查介词和固定搭配。分析汉语句意可知，本句需用 you“你”作主语，谓语动词为 can visit“能参观”，其后接宾语 all the major museums“各大博物馆”，around the world 全球，作状语，on
162、line 网上，作地点状语，without 没有，其后接动名词作宾语，leaving your home足不出户，动名词作介词 without 的宾语，even 加强语气，句首单词首字母需大写。再结合其它提示。故翻译为 You can visit all the major museums around the world online without even leaving your home.73.多亏了社会各界人士的慷慨解囊，这个孤儿院才得以在今年年初办了起来。(found)(汉译英)【答案】Thanks to the generous donation made by people
163、from all walks of life,the orphanage was founded early this year.【解析】【详解】考查固定短语、时态语态和非谓语动词。根据句意“多亏了”可知短语为 thanks to；表示“社会各界人士”短语为 all walks of life；表示“慷慨解囊”短语为 the generous donation，后跟过去分词短语作后置定语；表示“孤儿院”应用单数名词 orphanage 作主语，表示“建立，创办”应用动词 found 作谓语，且主语与谓语动词构成被动关系，事情发生在过去，故应用一般过去时的被动语态。故翻译为 Thanks to
164、the generous donation made by people from all walks of life,the orphanage was founded early this year.74.消防队员们不仅营救了事故现场的工人，还成功阻止了有毒气体的蔓延。(Not only)(汉译英)【答案】Not only did the firefighters save the workers at the scene of the accident,but also they successfully prevented the poisonous gas from spreadin
165、g.【解析】【详解】考查连词，倒装和时态。根据汉语提示可知，本句需用并列连词 not onlybut also“不但.而且.”，not only 引导并列句置于句首时用部分倒装，因为表示过去发生的事情，所以此处需用助动词 did，其后接主语 the firefighters“消防队员”，save“营救”，作谓语，at the scene of the accident“在事故现场”，介词短语作后置定语，修饰名词workers（save 的宾语）；but also 连接的并列句的主语是 they，指代消防队员，谓语动词为prevented，该词相关短语 preventfrom doing sth
166、.“阻止.做某事.”；successfully“成功地”，副词作状语修饰动词 prevented，the poisonous gas“有毒气体”，作 prevented 的宾语，介词 from 后需接 spread“蔓延”的动名词形式作宾语。再结合其他汉语提示，故答案为 Not only did the firefighters save the workers at the scene of the accident,but also they successfully prevented the poisonous gas from spreading.75.各国应基于大会上所达成的共识，
167、加强全球合作，共同应对人类面临的挑战。(base)(汉译英)【答案】All the countries should boost global cooperation to jointly address the challenges facing mankind,based on the agreement reached at the conference.【解析】【详解】考查动词、名词和过去分词。表达“加强”应用动词 boost；表达“全球合作”应用名词 global cooperation，做宾语；表达“共同应对人类面临的挑战”应用动词不定式，to jointly address th
168、e challenges facing mankind，表目的；表达“基于”应用过去分词，based on，作状语。故 翻 译 为 All the countries should boost global cooperation to jointly address the challenges facing mankind,based on the agreement reached at the conference。VI.Guided Writing76.Directions:Write an English composition in 120-150 words according
