61、有学生,选项B将其完美地结合了起来,故答案为B。(2020贵阳市普通高中高三年级摸底考试)Many of us think, wrongly, that the moon doesnt change. For example, the Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ruoxu once wrote that “Generations have come and passed away; From year to year the moons look alike, old and new.”However, a new study published in the journ
62、al Nature Geoscience shows that the moon is in fact slowly shrinking over time. For the study, a group of US scientists examined and analyzed thousands of photographs taken by the NASAs Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (月球勘测轨道飞行器照相机). They found that there were lots of faults (断层) on the surface
63、of the moon. These faults were formed by recent movement on the moon.According to NASA, the moon is made up of pieces of rocks with a hot core. The moon continued to expand as it was born. But in this process, it released energy and cooled down. Then it began to shrink, in a way comparable to the sh
64、rinking of a grape into a raisin. Over the past several hundred million years, it has become 46 meters “skinnier”. But due to its hard and rocky layer, the moons surface continues to push up. “Some of these quakes can be fairly strong, around five on the Richter scale (里氏震级),” said Thomas Watters, a
65、 senior scientist at the Smithsonians National Air and Space Museum in the US.But does that mean the moon is a dangerous place that human shouldnt try to explore and live on in the future? Maybe not, reported The Telegraph.“This isnt anything to worry about. The moon may be shrinking, but not by muc
66、h. Its not going anywhere,” Watters comforted us.The new discovery proves that the idea that the moon is a dead, boring place is wrong. “We have been to the moon and weve done some great science, but there is still a lot we dont know. The moon is shrinkingwe didnt really realize that until recently.
67、 Its a much more active and interesting place than we thought and we should explore that,” NASA scientist Nathan Williams said.篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。一项最新的科学研究表明,月球正在随着时间慢慢地缩小。此外,这项研究还表明月球还有许多我们不了解的东西,它是一个比我们认为的更活跃、更有意思的地方。5Which point of view about the moon may the writer agree to?AIt stays the same as befo
68、re.BIt is becoming slightly smaller.CIt is getting older and older.DIt has passed away.答案:B细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“However, a new study . shows that the moon is in fact slowly shrinking over time.”可知,一项新的发表在自然地球科学上的研究表明,月球正在随着时间慢慢地缩小,据此可知B项正确。6What can we learn about the moon from the third paragraph?AIt has
69、 become 46 meters fatter due to expanding.BIt has changed from a grape into a raisin in recent years.CIt quakes even at seven on the Richter scale.DIt has a hot core and releases energy during expanding.答案:D细节理解题。根据第三段前三句中的“the moon is made up of pieces of rocks with a hot core” “The moon continued
70、to expand as it was born. But in this process, it released energy”可知,月球由带有一个热核的岩石块组成,自它形成时月球就在持续膨胀,在这个过程中它会释放能量,故D项正确。7Who thinks that we neednt worry about the moon?AZhang Ruoxu.BThomas Watters.CNathan Williams.DThe journalist.答案:B细节理解题。根据第四段中Thomas Watters说的话“This isnt anything to worry about . It
71、s not going anywhere”可知,Thomas Watters认为我们不必担心月球,尽管月球在缩小,但它并没有缩小很多,故B项正确。8What does Nathan Williams think of the moon?AIt is a dead and boring place.BIt has lots of faults on the surface.CIt is valuable to do more science.DIt isnt a place where we can live.答案:C推理判断题。根据尾段中Nathan Williams说的话“We have b
72、een to the moon and weve done some great science . we should explore that”可知,Nathan Williams认为月球有许多我们不了解的东西,值得我们去探索。据此可推知,他认为研究月球是有价值的,故C项正确。.七选五Tips on buying outdoor solar lightsAs solar lighting is becoming useful for homes, many different such outdoor lights can now be found in supermarkets.

78、篇说明文。现在太阳能灯变得越来越流行了,在超市里有很多出售的灯,文章介绍了购买太阳能灯的几个小建议。1A根据“Does your area receive enough direct lighting?”这段的主旨句可知,在住的地方要能接受到足够的直接光线,所以A项“Without sunlight, solar lighting is useless.(没有阳光,太阳能灯就是无用的)”符合题意。2D根据“The expensive one usually means good quality.”可知,贵的通常质量比较好,所以该段的主旨句为D项“Choose something a bit m
79、ore expensive for once. (要挑选一些贵一点的)”。3F根据上下文可知,建议我们买一些贵的,但并非把钱都花在那些价格昂贵的灯上,所以F项合适。4G根据“Most solar lights are simply driven into the ground.”可知,大多数太阳能灯很容易安装,所以G项“每个太阳能灯应该花几分钟的时间就能安装好”符合题意。5C根据“Different solar lights can store different amounts of energy.”可知,不同的太阳能灯储存能源不相等,所以有些太阳能灯比其他的要亮得持久。.语法填空(2019
