26、orld, students are not 19 to replace them with the 20 one.（分数：40.00）A.excessiveB.extraC.additionalD.added解析：解析 上一句讲到21%受调查的人相信太阳围绕地球转，这里列举另一数据，即7%的人不知道哪个围绕哪个转，additional意为“另外的”，符合句意。excessive“过度的”；extra“额外的”；added“增加的”。A.whatB.whichC.thatD.other解析：解析 这里讲7%的人不知道是太阳围绕地球转还是地球围绕太阳转，故用which指代上一句提到的太阳和地球的
27、其中一个。其他三项无法指代两个中的其中一个。A.virtuallyB.perfectlyC.ideallyD.preferably解析：解析 此处需填入副词。空格前的no doubt表明后面讲的内容是非常肯定的。virtually意为“事实上”，符合句意和语境。perfectly“完美地”；ideally“理想地”；preferably“更可取地”。A.learnedB.suggestedC.taughtD.advised解析：解析 空格后的in school表明，“太阳围绕地球转”应该是老师教给他们的，这里用被动语态，故选taught。learn“学习”；suggest和advise均表示“
28、建议”。A.thoseB.theseC.whoD.they解析：解析 空格处需填入主语。上一分句讲到老师已教给这些人(these people)“太阳围绕地球转”，由空格后的may even have written it可知这里继续讲“这些人”，因此用they指代these people，答案为D。A.onB.withC.underD.for解析：解析 这里要表达的是“在考试中”，四个选项能与a test，搭配的只有介词on，答案为A。A.formedB.alteredC.believedD.thought解析：解析 此处需填入谓语动词。上一句讲到这些人在学校已学过“地球围绕太阳转”，这里以
29、转折连词but开头，根据空格前的never和空格后的宾语their incorrect mental models of.可知，应填入altered“改变”，表示“从未改变自己的错误理念”。A.operationB.positionC.motionD.location解析：解析 上文一直在讲述人们对太阳和地球运转的认识，即对行星运行的认识。由空格前的planetary“行星的”可判断，此处应填入motion“运动”，表示“行星运转”。operation意为“操作”；position和location均可表示“位置”。A.howB.whichC.thatD.what解析：解析 这里需填入宾语从句
30、引导词，从句中缺少taught的直接宾语。四个选项只有what能充当从句的宾语，故答案为D。A.aroundB.acrossC.onD.above解析：解析 这里填入介词与moving构成短语搭配。根据常识，太阳越过天际，从而造成日夜的交替，move across指“横跨着移动”，符合语境，答案为B。A.sinceB.soC.whileD.for解析：解析 空格前后为完整的句子，且空格后的that指代前面提到的“太阳越过天际”。根据语义判断，空格前后的谓语动作应该是同时发生的，故用while，表示“与同时”。A.toB.byC.inD.with解析：解析 考查固定短语。by heart意为“用

33、r，答案为A。A.generalB.naturalC.similarD.specific解析：解析 这里讲教授指出学生个人理解中对世界的错误，空格处填入形容词修饰errors，根据句意，应填入specific“具体的”，表示指出具体的错误。general意为“综合的”；natural自然的”；similar“相似的”。A.obligedB.likelyC.probableD.partial解析：解析 此处讲到，除非教授指出具体的错误，否则学生是不会改变他们个人对世界的错误理解。be not likely to表示“不可能做某事”，符合句意，故选B。be probable to也表示“可能”，但
34、其主语通常是it。be obliged to do sth.“被迫做某事”；be partial to后接sth.或sb.指“偏爱某人或某物”。A.perfectB.betterC.reasonableD.correct解析：解析 由空格前的短语replace.with.“用代替”可知，应该是用正确的理念替换错误的，故选correct“正确的”。Although most people return from package holidays reasonably satisfied, this is not always the 21 .

40、packageB.holidayC.festivalD.celebration解析：解析 上文说并不是每个参加包办旅游的人都会感到满意，本句起则以一名法国游客为例说明，故此处应说该名游客是参加包办旅游到哥伦比亚，go on a package指“参加包办旅游”。“度假”常用go on holiday，不用冠词a；festival“节日，庆祝”；celebration“庆祝”。A.strikingB.swingingC.wanderingD.patrolling解析：解析 由于酒店没空房了，这位度假者只能在街上游荡。wander around指“四处游荡”，符合句意。strike“罢工”、swi
41、ng“摆动”和patrol“巡逻”都不符合句子逻辑。A.accommodationB.storeC.bedD.house解析：解析 a bed and breakfast place是习惯搭配，指的是“住宿加次日早餐的地方”，用C恰当。accommodation“住所”是不可数名词，前面不用冠词；store“商店”；house“房子”。A.taken to courtB.brought to the police stationC.taken to the reform schoolD.sent to prison解析：解析 根据空格后的提示词magistrate“法官”，不难判断这名游客是被
42、带到法庭上了。选A。A.faultB.blameC.dutyD.responsibility解析：解析 游客在法庭上对法官说这一切都是酒店的过错，its ones fault是习惯表达。意思是“是的错”，故选A。blame“责备”；duty“职责”；responsibility“责任”。A.ofB.withC.forD.to解析：解析 填入的介词应与前面的动词charge搭配。charge sb. with sth./doing sth.是固定搭配，意思是“以某事起诉某人”，故选B。of与accuse搭配，accuse sb. of sth.“因某事控诉某人”；charge sb. for s
43、th.的意思是“收费，要某人支付”。A.freedomB.dischargeC.releaseD.liberty解析：解析 旅客被关了8天之后，自然会被“释放”，“释放”用英文release表述，故选C。freedom“自由”；discharge卸货，放电”；liberty“自由”。A.andB.thoughC.butD.so解析：解析 空格前讲到这位旅客没钱买回程票，空格后则说他到邮局给家里发电报，让家里给他寄钱。前后有因果关系，故用连词so“因此”最合适。A.finedB.re-arrestedC.arrestedD.punished解析：解析 上文已经讲到该旅客被arrest“逮捕”了一
44、次，根据下句的提示：was charged with.，判断该名旅客又再次被捕，用re-arrest“再次被捕”，选B。A.citizenshipB.naturalizationC.migrationD.immigration解析：解析 根据空格前的illegal“非法的”，以及前文提到的该名旅客的同程班机已经飞走，可判断这时他被当成了“非法移民”，migration指“移出”，immigration指“移入”，因此选D。citizenship“围籍，公民身份”；naturalization“使(外国人)入籍，归化”。A.tripB.ticketC.flightD.journey解析：解析 上
45、文曾多次提到该名旅客错过了回程班机，选C。A.licenseB.allowanceC.permissionD.permit解析：解析 四个选项的意思相近：license“执照，许可证”，allowance“津贴，零用钱”，permission“许可，允许”，permit“许可证，通行证”。但只有work permit“工作许可证”是常用表述，故D为最佳答案。A.rudenessB.offenceC.faultD.error解析：解析 上一句提到“他没有工作许可证”，这属于一种“犯法(行为)”(offence)，因此选B。rudeness“粗鲁”在文中并未表现；fault“过错”和error“错误”都不如B具体。A.luggageB.belongingC.thingD.luggages解析：解析 四个选项中，
