15、是探索未知领域,更是某人自己通过努力达到了以前从未达到的高度。4What does the underlined word “they” in the first paragraph refer to?AThe highest mountains.BThe deepest seas.CMaps.DLandmasses.【解析】代词指代题。首先定位they所在的句子是首段的Maps today no longer contain huge blanks marked“Unknown Territory”,more do they make random guesses at the shapes
16、 of distant landmasses.很容易看出前半句主语是maps,后半句用they指代前面已经出现过的主语,所以答案是C。【答案】C5What can man do now since there was no“Unknown Territory” on earth.AFill the gaps in the details with expeditions.BExplore space.CLook upwards into space.DDetermine the true shape of the globe.【解析】细节理解题。关键词是Unknown Territory,定位
17、在第一段第三句Maps today no longer contain huge blanks marked “Unknown Territory”紧接着就是对我们接下来该做些什么的阐述。学生们容易误选A,因为原文说It was left to us to fill in the details with expeditions,但需注意的是后面一句The gaps have been filled.What next?既然前面所提的fill in the details已做完,接下来应该做什么呢?直接过渡至第二段所提的looking upwards into space,但这只是比喻的用法,
18、第二段整段都在讲人们是如何探索太空的,所以最佳选择是B。【答案】B6Which of the following statement is TRUE?AThe spacecrafts that the writers of science fiction have invented are exactly the same size as our modern ones.BYears ago,a scientist who had expected to receive an answer from the satellites we sent into outer space would b

21、.【解析】推理判断题。关键词是adventurous spirits,定位在尾段第三句。答案可在尾段第四行找到,原文是A person can be called adventurous when he finds out something for himself;and it does not matter how many times the discovery has been made before.这与原文的主题也是一致的,冒险并不只是指探索全人类都未知的领域,而是通过个人之力发现一些自己不知道的领域,不管这个领域是否已被前人多次发掘过。所以答案是D。【答案】DCLooking a
