2、hot interior of the earth, let the temperature of the sun. (1) As we know, life would only be possible on the face of a planet (2) had temperatures somewhere within this range. The earths supply (3) of water probably remains quite fairly constant in quantity. A certain (4) number of hydrogen atoms,

3、which are one of the main constituentsof water, are lost by escaping from the atmosphere to out space, (5) but they are probably just about replaced by new water rising away (6) from the depths of the earth during volcanic action. The total quantityof water is not known, and it is about enough to co

Of the re

There is also a minor,but extremely important, fraction of the water supply which is presentas water vapor in the atmosphere.（分数：20.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：在let之后加alone）解析：解析 let alone是固定搭配，意为“更不用说”，

29、与原文想要表达的“与其他星球的低温和地球内部的高温相比，这只是一个很小的温度范围，更不用说和太阳的温度相比了”意思相符，因此在let后加alone。填空项1:_（正确答案：facesurface）解析：解析 原文想要表达的是“在星球的表面”，因此把face改成意为“表面”的surface。填空项1:_（正确答案：hadhaving或在had之前加thatwhich）解析：解析 分析句子结构可知，had temperatures_是用于修饰限定之前的planet的，因此应将had改成现在分词形式having作后置定语，或在had之前加that或which引导定语从句。填空项1:_（正确答案：去掉

31、面”之间是转折关系，因此把表并列的and改为but。填空项1:_（正确答案：quarterquarters）解析：解析 quarter为可数名词，当分子大于一时，分母就应该用复数形式，故此处用quarters。填空项1:_（正确答案：whenunless）解析：解析 原文想要表达的是“有四分之三的淡水以冰的形式存在于两极和山上，如果不被融化就不能被生物系统所利用”，因此应把when改成意为“除非”的unless。填空项1:_（正确答案：fewerless）解析：解析 句中的fraction指代的是上文提到的fresh water，为不可数名词，而few不能用于修饰不可数名词，因此将fewer改

37、和B之间的差别”。填空项1:_（正确答案：naturenatural）解析：解析 用于修饰名词vitamin的应该是形容词，因此将名词nature改为形容词natural。填空项1:_（正确答案：substancesubstances）解析：解析 substance为可数名词，结合之前的most substances和all可知，此处应用复数形式substances。填空项1:_（正确答案：在it前加so）解析：解析 原文的“个体对营养的需求相差很大”和“不能确切地说某个假定的量过多”之间应该是因果关系，因此应该用so连接。填空项1:_（正确答案：into）解析：解析 用于连接对象health

39、解析：解析 water-soluble vitamin(水溶性维生素)指代的是后面的the C and the B groups(维生素C和维生素B族)，因此vitamin应采用复数形式vitamins。Because the air in the country is really clean, we ought to livethere much as possible. Since, however, a great deal of the worlds (1) work must be done indoor in cities, it is important that we tak
