13、 not been determined how years sea turtles can live in their natural environment, but they will reach a very old age if left undisturbed by humans.（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：how一many）解析：解析：考查引导词。how是副词，后面不能直接加名词，应改为how many years。3.A patent gives inventors exclusive rights to their inventions for a f
14、ix period of time.（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：fixfixed）解析：解析：考查词性。fix是动词，这里要用形容词fixed修饰名词period。4.A statue, a monumental, a building, or a park may be dedicated to commemorate a distinguished individual.（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：monumentalmonument）解析：解析：考查词性。冠词a后接名词，而monumental是形容词，应改为monument。5.Moles
15、 are almost completely blind, although its tiny eyes can distinguish light from dark.（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：its-their）解析：解析：考查代词。此句代词所替代的是复数的Moles，因此也应用复数的代词their。6.The Cubist movement in art was a reaction against traditional methods of portray reality.（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：portrayportraying
16、）解析：解析：考查动名词的使用。of要求后接名词性的成分作其宾语，而portray是动词，应用其动名词形式portraying。7.Acrylic paint enables artists to experiment with many colors effects.（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：colorscolor）解析：解析：考查名词用法。名词作定语时，一般应该用其单数形式，不加s，此句color是修饰effects的，而不是被many修饰，故应改成单数。8.A rats sharp teeth can gnaw through wood, plaster, or
17、 soft metallic such as lead.（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：metallicmetal）解析：解析：考查词性。连词or两边的成分应同词性、同形式。此处应用名词与wood和plaster并列，metallic是形容词，应改为名词metal。另外，短语such as后的名词lead也暗示它前面的词应是名词。9.Brooklyn, New York, had a population of about 23,000 when it becomes a city in 1834.（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：becomes-beca
18、me）解析：解析：考查时态。由时间状语1834推知，谓语动词不能用一般现在时，而应用一般过去时，故将becomes改为became。10.Ensuring an adequate water supply have been a concern ever since people began to live in towns and cities.（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：havehas）解析：解析：考查主谓一致。主语为动名词短语时，谓语动词应为单数形式，have应改为has。11.Data received from two spacecraft indicate
19、that there is many evidence that huge thunderstorms are now occurring around the equator of the planet Saturn.（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：many-much）解析：解析：考查不可数名词的修饰语。evidence为不可数名词，应用much修饰，不能用many。注意data是复数形式，其单数形式为datum，所以此句谓语动词indicate无误。12.Every individual cell, whether its exists as an independen
20、t microorganism or is part of a complex creature, has its own life cycle.（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：(whether)itsit）解析：解析：考查从句。whetheror引导的从句缺主语，exists为谓语动词，它前面的代词为主语，不能用所有格形式的its，应改为it。13.The need for more food discourages development of better technology which naturally keeps more people alive.（分数：2
21、.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：discourages-encourages）解析：解析：考查语义逻辑。养活更多人，需要更多食物，自然是促进科技的发展，discourage意为“阻止”，意思恰恰相反，故应改成encourages。14.Even before the human organism developed into their present stage of Homo sapiens, the beginnings of culture were already evident.（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：theirits）解析：解析：考查数的一致
22、。此处代词指代单数意义的organism，不能用复数的their，应用its。15.The old man is very pleased to be told that his daughters and son-in-laws are going to see him tomorrow.（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：son-in-laws-sons-in-law）解析：解析：考查名词复数。合成名词构成复数时通常只将里面所包含的主体名词变为复数，这点同一般名词不同，不是在最后加s。这里，主体名词显然是son。又如：lookers-on，grand-children。如果
23、没有主体名词，就只在最后一个词加上复数词尾，如go-betweens。但由man和woman构成的复合名词，里面所含的成分全都要变成复数，如men-servants。16.Salmon spend most of their adult lives in salt water, despite they return to their freshwater birthplaces to spawn and die.（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：despite-whilebut）解析：解析：考查连词。连接两个句子要用连词，而despite是介词，应改为while或but。另
24、外需注意此句中的主语salmon是单、复数同形。17.Perspiration, the bodys built-in cooling mechanism occurs as a natural reaction to nervousness, intense heat, or vigorously exercise.（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：vigorouslyvigorous）解析：解析：考查词性。连词or前后的成分需同词性、同性质，故exercise应与nervousness和heat一样，是名词而非动词。修饰名词应当用形容词vigorous，不用副词vigor
25、ously。18.Because of the rising cost of fuel, scientists are building automobile engines who will conserve gasoline but still run smoothly.（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：who-thatwhich）解析：解析：考查定语从句的引导词。定语从句的先行词engines是物而不是人，指代先行词的引导词不能用who，而应改为that或which。19.One of the wildest and most inaccessible parts of
26、 the United States are the Everglades where wildlife is abundant and largely protected.（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：are一is）解析：解析：考查主谓数的一致。主语是one of时，谓语动词要用单数，are应改为is。20.Swans, noted for graceful movements in the water, have been the subject of many poetry, fairy tales, legends, and musical composition
27、s.（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：poetry-poems）解析：解析：考查近义词辨析。poetry表示“诗歌”，为总称，不可数。poetry前有修饰可数名词的many，故应该用可数名词poems表示“诗”。21.At night the desert floor radiates heat back into the atmosphere and the temperature may be drop to near freezing.（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：be一去掉be）解析：解析：考查谓语动词。此处谓语动词重复，动词drop前不应加系动
28、词be。22.A thousand miles no longer mean much to us today for modern jets can easily get us over this long distance within a matter of a few hours.（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：mean-means）解析：解析：考查主谓一致。表示距离、时间、金钱、重量的词作主语时，谓语动词一般用单数。又如：Two thousand US dollars is a lot to spend on a skirt。23.To stay warm in
29、cold weather, cold-blooded animals must expose itself to a source of warmth such as direct sunlight.（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：itselfthemselves）解析：解析：考查代词数的一致。代词在人称和数上应与其所指代的名词一致。此处代词指代的是复数cold-blooded animals，故该反身代词也要用复数themselves。24.Christopher Plummer is a Canadian actor who has starred in stage,
30、television, and film productions on both sides the Atlantic Ocean.（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：the一of）解析：解析：考查介词。of表示所属关系。“在大西洋的两岸”正确表达为on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean，of不能省略。25.The private satellite industry sprang up in the mid-1960s to relay not only television broadcasts but too phone calls and
31、 computer data.（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：too-also）解析：解析：考查固定搭配。看到not only，就应注意后文是否漏掉but also，too应改为also，二词不能互换。not onlybut also表示“不仅而且”。26.During the Colonial days, the Iroquois had an agricultural economy basing mainly on corn with supplementary crops of pumpkins, beans, and tobacco.（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：basing-based）解析：解析：考查过去分词。分词短语作定语修饰economy，其作用相当于从句that is based mainly on，故应用过去分词based而不用basing。
