19、案与解析：B通读全文不难看出，作者通过讲述瑙鲁外来驻民无节制地开采磷酸盐而使其成为一个不可修复的生态灾难区这一令人心碎的故事来警示人们不应破坏生态平衡，而应与自然和谐相处，故B项正确，文章最后两句也有暗示。A项表示“为瑙鲁出现的问题寻求帮助”；C项表示“为了表明钱的重要性”；D项表示“为了讲一个令人心碎的战争故事”，这三项都不是作者写本文的意图。6What was Nauru like before the Europeans came?ARich and powerful. BModern and open.CPeaceful and attractive. DGreedy and aggr
20、essive.答案与解析：C由第一段第一句“.used to be a beautiful place.”可知瑙鲁曾经是很迷人的；由第二段中的“.lived on the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization.”可知瑙鲁是一个地处偏远，远离西方文明的岛国，故应当是很静谧的，由此可知选C项。A项表示“富庶且强大的”；B项表示“现代且开放的”；D项表示“贪婪且好斗的”，这三项均不符合文章的细节。7The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from _.Asoil pollution Bp
21、hosphate over miningCfarming activityDwhale hunting答案与解析：B文章从第四段到最后一段就是讲述了瑙鲁外来驻民由于对磷酸盐的过度开采，从而导致这个岛遭受了毁灭性的破坏，故B项正确。A项表示“土壤污染”；C项表示“农耕活动”；D项表示“捕鲸”，这三项文章中都未提及，属无中生有。8Which of the following was a cause of Naurus financial problem?AIts leaders misused the money.BIt spent too much repairing the island.CI

23、磷酸矿枯竭及领导人滥用金钱造成的，故A项为其中的一个原因。B项表示“修复岛屿花了太多的钱”。文中提到修复岛屿需要$433,600,000 and more than 20 years，但这将可能是不会实现的，故B项与文章的细节不符；C项表示“开采磷酸盐矿花钱太多”；D项表示“瑙鲁在内战中损失了上百万美元”，这两项文中均未提及。9What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?AThe ecological damage is difficult to repair.BThe leaders will take the experts
24、words seriously.CThe island was abandoned by the Nauruans.DThe phosphate mines were destroyed.答案与解析：A由文章最后一段最后两句“Experts say that it would take.to repair the island.

25、矿被毁坏了”，这一项属于没有根据的推测。.语法填空As I share the experience of this kindness, Im wearing my widest smile.

27、d a desire _7_ (reach) out to them but my doubting mind had always had an upper hand. On this day too, I had _8_ (thought) like, “What if they refuse？” “What if they say, they dont like any of the food or drinks？” “What if this” and, “What if that”， but I decided to let go of the worries and listen
28、_9_ my heart. Now, it was _10_ (they) smiles that drew me to the coffee shop. 1答案与解析：anplace an order“下订单”。order以元音音素开头，故用不定冠词an修饰。2答案与解析：slightly修饰形容词different应用其副词形式slightly作状语。3答案与解析：asked相反，我打电话给四位服务员，请他们为自己选择一份饮料和甜点。此处表示过去发生的一系列动作，结合上下文时态，应用一般过去时，故填asked。4答案与解析：what起初，他们没有感觉到正在发生什么事。宾语从句中缺主语，wh
29、at引导宾语从句，意为“事情”。5答案与解析：were surprisedand连接并列成分，此处embarrassed为形容词，应当作表语。结合句意和上下文时态可知，应填were surprised。surprised和embarrassed一样作表语。但是当他们清楚怎么回事时，他们吃惊并有点尴尬。6答案与解析：appreciation作介词of的宾语，应用其名词形式appreciation。又因为appreciation是不可数名词，故填appreciation。7答案与解析：to reachhave a desire to do sth.“有做的渴望”，为常用搭配，故填to reach。长久以来我有一种渴望，愿意给他们提供帮助，但是我犹豫不决的心理总是占上风。8答案与解析：thoughts也是在这一天，我有了一些像这样的想法：“如果他们拒绝了怎么办？” “如果他们说，他们不喜欢任何食物或者饮料怎么办？”。根据语境，下文是许多想法，应用复数形式thoughts。9答案与解析：tolisten是不及物动词，接宾语需加介词to。10答案与解析：their此处是强调句型。他们的笑容吸引我进入这家咖啡店。修饰名词smiles应用其形容词性物主代词their。- 7 - 版权所有高考资源网
