28、lture”第四段最后一句：“With culture，we can overcome our natural limitations”由此判定 D为最佳选项。3.（分数：0.50）A.infinite B.unknownC.boundlessD.ceaseless解析：精析 词义辨析“infinite”无穷的、无法计量的“为最佳选项。unknown“不知道的”；boundless“疆域无边界的”；ceaseless“持续不断的”，常与名词 efforts连用。4.（分数：0.50）A.processes B.actsC.modesD.procedures解析：精析 固定搭配 life pro
29、cess 意为“生命历程”；acts“行为，举动”；mode 指“方式、方法”；procedure 指“程序，手续，常规”，故正确答案为 A。5.（分数：0.50）A.meaningB.judgmentC.perspectiveD.sense 解析：精析 固定搭配 insense 为固定用法，意思是“从某种意义上说”。例如：in the literal/strict sense就字面精确的意义而言。6.（分数：0.50）A.filled B.loadedC.stuffedD.scattered解析：精析 动词辨析 fill“注满，用装满”；load“装载、大量供给”；stuff“塞入、塞满”；
30、scatter“分散、散开”。fill the earth 指“遍布全球”，强调分布范围广。7.（分数：0.50）A.artificial B.fakeC.unrealD.unauthentic解析：精析 近义词辨析 artificial“人工的、非天然的、虚伪的”；fake“假的、伪造的”；unreal“不真实的”；unauthentic“无根据的、不确实的”。8.（分数：0.50）A.add upB.break upC.make up D.cut up解析：精析 固定搭配 make up deficits 意为“弥补不足”；add up to“总计达、等于说”；break up“拆散、结束

38、(meteoroid impact)是海洋盆地的成因。作者指出，这个理论模式的主要问题是：多数海洋盆地的结枯形态(morphology)与所说的碰撞不一致，而且，它也没有对大陆(板块)的形成和演化过程做出充分解释。22.Sialic material refers to_.（分数：2.00）A.the broken ,rock resulting from the impact of a meteorite against the earthB.material that exists on planets other than the earthC.a composite of rock t
39、ypical of continental areas of the earth D.material that is man-made to simulate materials that existed far back in geological history解析：精析 细节理解 在文章的第三段第三句：“举例说，Donn et al提出大陆区域那般大的、硅铝结构的天体撞击形成最初的大陆块的设想。”说明地球大陆地区特有的岩石构成。而其他三项文章并没有提及。23.The writer does not believe that_.（分数：2.00）A.an asteroid is larg
40、er than a meteoriteB.material from space, upon hitting the earth, was eventually distributedC.the earth, at one time, had cratersD.oceans were formerly craters 解析：精析 细节分析 在文章的倒数第二段“另一方面，Gilvarry 用陨星撞击来解释海洋盆地的形成。这一模式的最大困难在于大多数海洋盆地结构和撞击情况不符。”而其他三项明显不对，谈不上相信不相信。24.The passage is primarily concerned wit
41、h_.（分数：2.00）A.the origin of continents B.the relationship between astral phenomena and the moonC.differences of opinion among authoritative geologistsD.the relationship between asteroids and meteorites解析：精析 细节理解 在文章一开始就点明“大陆核起源长期以来一直是个谜。进展到现在的理论一般都不能说明大陆生长的第一步情况，或者遭到严厉的反对：这篇文章的目的就是要研究大陨星或小行星的撞击在地球核生
42、成中可能起的作用。25.A mare basin is_.（分数：2.00）A.a formula for determining the relationship between the depth and width of cratersB.a valley that is filled in when a spatial body has impact with the moon or the earthC.a planetoid(small planet)created when a meteorite, upon striking the moon, breaks off a Par
43、t of the moonD.a dark spot on the moon, once supposed to be a sea, now a plain 解析：精析 细节分析 mare basin 海盆地，词义本身说明 D正确，另一方面，第二段开始提及“鲍尔温所列出的月球上最大的陨石坑直径为 285公里。可是，如果我们接受了某些由于撞击而形成海盆地结构的假设，那么月球上最大陨石坑的直径可能有 650公里大。”这里都说 mare basin 指的是月球上陨石坑。六、Text 2(总题数：5，分数：10.00)26.In asserting that the organic model mig
44、ht be “more serviceable to the restoratioulsts“ (Para. 3), the author implies that_.（分数：2.00）A.the descriptions by Turner and Jordan of the restorationists program conform more closely to the organic model than to the community-participation model B.the organic model is more consistent than the comm
45、unity-participation model with the principle of restorationC.the organic model is more consistent with the restorationists agenda than with the preservationists programD.holistic models are more useful to the restorationists than is the dualist model解析：精析 细节理解 见第二、三段。修复主义理论反对过去将人类置手自然之上的统治性模型，而支持一种共
46、同参与的模型；而 Jordan 和 Turner 对于修复主义者正在从事的工作所进行的描述，并不很符合这种共同参与的模型；如 Turner将人类描述成“万物的主宰”，而 Jordan认为，“生物圈的命运和生存最终依靠我们和我们同它的关系”；这显然与生物界共同参与的模式不一致，但与第三段中：” 相对于共同参与模型，这种“有机”模型也将自然描述成各部分彼此相关的一个系统；如果我们将自然界想象为一个单一的活体，人类可以通过大脑(或脱氧核糖核酸)或控制中心进行识别，我们也许会得出一个更符合修复主义观点的模型的意思更为接近。所以选项 A应为正确答案。27.The author would probably agree that preservationists_.（分数：2.00）A.are not critical engugh of those who have robbed the natural worldB.base their ideas on an unhealthy dualismC.have the same basic mind-set as the industrial mainstreamD.have been unfairly criticized by restorationist
