14、上下文,科学家应该是投放(dropped)了90只玩具鸭子,所以选D。22B 从上文的“Rubber ducks”可以看出来,这些都是玩具鸭子,所以用toys。23C 此处表达的意思为如果这些玩具鸭子被找到的话,科学家就能够了解(learn)水是如何在冰与冰之间流动的,而且也能够提供冰川运动(movement)的信息,所以选C。24B 参见第23题解析。25A 从上千文可知,这里科学家仍然不确知为什么冰川在夏季加速运动,向海洋流动,所以选A。26C 从上文“why glaciers speed up in summer and head towards the sea”可以推断出,这里用spe
15、ed up,表示“加速,加快”的含义。27B Jakobshavn冰川被认为是撞沉Titanic的冰山的源头(source),所以选B。28D 从语意来看,这里是说,Robert Jones说,还没有鸭子被报道(reported)。也就是说,还没有人拣到玩具鸭子,所以选D。29A 结合语境以及前面的动词send可以看出,应该是拣到的人给组织者发邮件(email),告知已经拣到,所以选A。30C 结合语境可知,人们还没有拣到玩具鸭子是因为这些地方很偏远(remote),以至于没有多少人去过。2.语法填空阅读下面短文,按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求,在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语
