34、ace as part of the biologicallife support system aboard future orbiting space stations.（分数：70.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：towardagainst）解析：搭配错误，属词汇错误题。“对抗”对应的表达为 fight against，故把 toward 改为 against。原句意为：“普通室内植物可能是很有价值的武器，可以用来对付日益严重的室内空气污染。”填空项 1:_ （正确答案：decorativelydecorative）解析：词性错误，属语法错误题。此处所用词应与后面的形容词 useful

35、 是并列关系，故把 decoratively改为 decorative。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：cleancleaning）解析：非谓语动词误用，属语法错误题。分析句子结构，and 连接的应是两个在结构上并列的成分，因此句中 clean 应采用与 absorbing 一致的形式，故将 clean 改为 cleaning。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：normalcommon）解析：易混词误用，属词汇错误题。normal 意为“正常的，标准的”，而原文所要表述的含义是“普通室内植物”，并不暗含某一标准，所以将 normal 改为 common。另外上文已经出现过 common indoor p

36、lants 的搭配。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：去掉 with）解析：赘述，属词汇错误题。combat 为及物动词，可直接接宾语，因此其后不用介词，故去掉 with。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：meanmeans）解析：易混词误用，属词汇错误题。原句意为：“比尔沃尔弗顿博士同时在地球上和太空站里对将生物方法作为一种解决环境污染问题的手段进行了多年的研究。”mean 表示“手段”时应使用复数形式，故将 mean 改为 means。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：havehas）解析：一致性错误，属语法错误题。分析句子结构可知，该句的真正主语是 research，故把 have 改为has。填空项 1

37、:_ （正确答案：formerformerly）解析：词性错误，属语法错误题。分析句子结构可知，former 修饰的是 a senior research scientist at.，而不是单独的 scientist，故应该用其副词形式 formerly。该部分意为：“沃尔弗顿博士先前是美国国家航空航天局约翰斯坦尼斯航天中心的高级研究员，该中心位于密西西比州的圣路易斯湾。”填空项 1:_ （正确答案：enjoyedjoinde）解析：动词误用，属语法错误题。原句意为“基于对使用普通室内植物净化室内空气和再生新鲜空气的初步评估，美国园林产业联合会与美国国家航空航天局共同资助了一项研究”，根据句意

38、，文中的enjoyed 应改为 joined。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：whilethat）解析：从句连接词误用，属语法错误题。分析句子结构可知，found 后为宾语从句，且引导词在该宾语从句中不充当任何成分，故此处不能用 while，只能用 that。句意为：“美国国家航空航天局有关室内植物的研究发现，活的植物对于吸收空气中的污染物非常有效，以至于部分植物将被发送到太空作为登陆未来轨道太空站的生物支持系统。”三、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：70.00)This ancient city is known to the world as Angkor Wat(吴哥窟)after i

44、 being a heaven city that transcends time, 10. _Angkor ascends to number three on our list.（分数：70.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：thatwhich）解析：从句连接词误用，属语法错误题。分析句子结构可知，该句后部分为非限制性定语从句，而引导非限制性定语从句应该用连词 which，故应把 that 改为 which。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：eighth 前加 the）解析：冠词漏用，属语法错误题。在序数词前应加定冠词 the。句意为：“第一批寺庙在八世纪由古高棉国王阇耶跋摩建成，他的后代们继承

45、祖业继续修建。”填空项 1:_ （正确答案：onover）解析：介词误用，属语义错误题。句意为：“吴哥的整体建筑花了 100 多年的时间，并且从未停止过。”表示“经历了年”，通常用介词 over，故把 on 改为 over。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：otheranother）解析：易混词误用，属词汇错误题。根据句意“每个国王都想兴建一座庙宇。他们试图建造人间天堂”可知，此处是指建立有别于其他国王的寺庙，是一个泛指的概念，故将 other 改为 another。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：去掉 is）解析：语态错误，属语法错误题。分析句子结构可知，该句结构完整，paradise 为主语，谓词为cau
