11.The Sunken City
Egypt is famous for its giant pyramids rising in the desert,but some of the nation's treasures from the past are hidden underwater.It is on the ocean floor near Egypt's northern coast (33)that a long-lost city of more than 2,700years old lies.Now researchers are bringing its remains to the surface to share the sunken civilization with the world.
Clues to the Past
Some ancient texts describes a city called Heracleion,(34)which was located at the mouth of the Nile River and disappeared beneath the waves 1,200years ago.But for centuries,no one knew for sure if such (35)an unbelievable city ever really existed.Then in 2000,Scientist Frank Goddio and his team discovered the ruins of the city.Since then,to uncover the city,they have been busy removing layers of sand,which had kept many of its treasure well (36)preserved(preserve).They've uncovered gold coins,jewelry,giant statues,ships and a sign.These items provide clues to help find out (37)what life was like in Heracleion.
Secret of the Deep
But so far,the sinking of this city remains a mystery.Goddio isn't sure how the city sank.He thinks that earthquakes or tidal waves (38)might have caused it to fall into the sea."Stories from long ago tell of other cities in this area disappearing because of either or (39)both of those things,"explains Goddio.
With many of Heracleion's treasures still buried under the sea,it may be many years before all its secrets (40)are revealed(reveal)."We've barely scratched the surface with this city."another scientist Robinson says.

分析 本文是一篇記敘文,該篇文章講述了埃及背部沿海地區(qū)的失落的城市Heracleion(希拉克萊奧),沉睡在水下數(shù)百年,以及一些科學(xué)家對于其沉入水中的猜測.Heracleion曾經(jīng)一度也是盛極一時的城市,但在1200年前被大海淹沒之后,就一直沉睡在地中海里.幾個世紀(jì)里,探索家們一直在找尋它的足跡,但都未果.直到2001年一支法國的海洋考古學(xué)家在這里發(fā)現(xiàn)了一些遺跡之后便打開了Heracleion的神秘大門.在這些被發(fā)現(xiàn)的遺跡中,有很多塑像,包括埃及豐饒女神伊希斯、古埃及人最崇拜的哈皮神、一位身份不明的埃及法老和數(shù)百個埃及眾神.隨后,考古學(xué)家又發(fā)現(xiàn)了許多古代船和大量金幣、青銅和石頭等,到目前為止,這座城市的沉睡水中仍然是個謎,有考古學(xué)家認(rèn)為地震和潮水可能導(dǎo)致沉入水中,至今仍然還有很多財寶被深埋水中,也許要花上很多年這些秘密才得以顯現(xiàn).

解答 33.that   考查連詞.首先句子是"it is"開頭,首先考慮是強(qiáng)調(diào)句型"It is+強(qiáng)調(diào)部分+that從句",把"it、is和that"三個詞去掉之后,在語法上、邏輯上都成立,從而判斷該句是強(qiáng)調(diào)句型,故填that.
 
34.which  考查關(guān)系代詞.該句中有兩個部分的謂語動詞"describes,was located and disappeared"(如果在一句話中并列連詞連接的兩個謂語我們一般將其記為一個謂語個數(shù),因?yàn)楸旧韆nd作為連詞可以連接多個謂語動詞),所以該句缺少連接兩個謂語的引導(dǎo)詞,根據(jù)從句特點(diǎn)和上下文,該從句是修飾前文這個地名的非限制性定語從句,從句中缺主語,故用which.
‘"
35.a(chǎn)n    考查冠詞.該空在"such"之后,一般"such"之后填名詞,而空后有一個名詞中心詞"city",并且是單數(shù),故such+單數(shù)名詞,需要用不定冠詞,根據(jù)語音發(fā)音規(guī)律,用an.
 
36.preserved   考查過去分詞.該空給出動詞,需要判斷謂語還是非謂語,找出該句中謂語have been,had kept兩個,有一個連接詞which,故不缺謂語,則該空填非謂語,由于和treasure和preserve關(guān)系成被動關(guān)系,故用過去分詞preserved.
 
37.what      考查連接代詞.該空未給詞,句子中謂語動詞有"provide,was"兩個,故缺乏一個連接詞,那么根據(jù)從句位置分析判斷為名詞性從句,作為"to find out"的賓語,此外,從句缺賓語,故用代詞性連接詞,根據(jù)句子意思為"what life was like in Heracleion",故填what.
38.might     考查情態(tài)動詞.謂語動詞個數(shù)和連接詞個數(shù)匹配,而空后面是"have caused"原形,故該空用情態(tài)動詞,表示對過去發(fā)生的事一種不確定,可能的推測一般用might have done,表示"或許…";"may have done,may have done"亦可以用于推測,含義是"或許已經(jīng),可能已經(jīng)"但是確定性強(qiáng)于"might have done",因?yàn)槭且獜?qiáng)調(diào)對過去事情的推測,故"might have done"更好一些,類似我們常用"couldn't have done"表推測"過去一定沒有…",可以有can't have done但卻很少用.故填might.

 39.both   考查代詞.聯(lián)系上下文,or這個連接詞連接的是并列結(jié)構(gòu),or左邊是either,右邊設(shè)空,故兩側(cè)應(yīng)該是平行結(jié)構(gòu),空內(nèi)也應(yīng)該是代詞(因?yàn)椴荒芴蠲~),根據(jù)上文討論引發(fā)這種現(xiàn)象原因有地震和潮水兩類,所以這里可以理解為是其中一種又或者兩方面原因都有,故both;"tell of"固定短語,表示講述.
 
40.a(chǎn)re revealed   考查被動語態(tài).給出reveal動詞,考慮謂語還是非謂語,由于句子只有一個謂語may be,還有一個連接詞before,所以該空應(yīng)該填謂語結(jié)構(gòu)來符合謂語和連接詞個數(shù),從句主語是"all its secrets"和"reveal"應(yīng)該是被動,并且根據(jù)上下文講述的是未來要發(fā)生的事情,從句可以使用一般現(xiàn)在時表示將來含義,所以一般現(xiàn)在時被動語態(tài),故are revealed.

點(diǎn)評 解答此類題目應(yīng)先瀏覽全文,概括大意,再根據(jù)句子間的提示以及括號內(nèi)的漢語提示或首字母提示,依據(jù)語法規(guī)則和行為邏輯來推測并填寫合適的詞語.

6.Along the river banks of the Amazon and the Orinoco there lives a bird that swims before it can fly,flies like a fat chicken,eats green leaves,has the stomach of a cow and has claws (爪) on its wings when young.They build their homes about 4.6m above the river,an important feature (特征) for the safety of the young.It is called the hoatzin.
  In appearance,the birds of both sexes look very much alike with brown on the back and cream and red on the underside.The head is small,with a large set of feathers on the top,bright red eyes,and blue skin.Its nearest relatives are the common birds,cuckoos.Its most striking feature,though,is only found in the young.
   Baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each wing and another at the end of each wing tip.Using these four claws,together with the beak (喙),they can climb about in the bushes,looking very much like primitive birds must have done.When the young hoatzins have learned to fly,they lose their claws.
   During the drier months between December and March hoatzins fly about the forest in groups of 20 to 30 birds,but in April,when the rainy season begins,they collect together in smaller living units of two to seven birds for producing purposes.
