5、案：【小题 1】 on 【小题 2】 that/which 【小题 3】 natural 【小题 4】 it 【小题 5】 was placed 【小题 6】 taken 【小题 7】 a 【小题 8】 flying 【小题 9】 when/if 【小题 10】 Obviously 试题分析：本文是一篇说明文。主要为我们解释了为什么鸟类在从一个地方飞到另一个地方的途中不会迷路。这是因为在白天的时候，它们可以凭借太阳辨别方向；而到了晚上，它们又可以通过星星来识别方向。作者还以鸽子为例，更明确的向我们说明了它们主要以星为导向，但是万一星被云层挡住，它们还可以靠山脉，海岸线和河道辨别方向。不过当太黑
6、而看不见时，它们也会无助的迷失方向在原地打转。 【小题 1】 rely on考查固定动词短语搭配。实验表明，鸟类在白天的时候 依赖太阳作为它们的导向。 【小题 2】 that或者 which考查定语从句及语境的理解。但是晚上鸟类又靠什么导向呢？ that或 which用来修饰 birds。主要考查考生对句子成分的分析。 【小题 3】 natural考查词性的变换。一只鸽子一生都在鸟笼里度过，从来没有在自然的天空下飞翔。后面是 sky名词，所以前面要用 nature的形容词形式natural修饰。 【小题 4】填 it 考查上下文理解。然而它有能借助星星导向的与生俱来的能力。这里的 it代指这一
7、段最前面的 a dove。 【小题 5】 was placed考查被动语 态及语境的理解。指鸟笼被放置在布满人造星的天空下。考查考生对文章上下文理解的能力。 【小题 6】 taken考查省略句式。这只鸟试图与在笼子外面引导它的同伴飞向同一个方向。原句子应该是 The bird tried to fly in the same direction that is taken by his outdoor cousins.这里的 that is可以省略掉。 【小题 7】填 a考查冠词用法及语境的理解。任何一个它们认定相信的导向星的位置的改变都可以引起它们飞行方向的改变。联系上下文可知此处缺少一个冠
8、词， the表示特指所以不能用在此处， an要放在元音音素开头的名词前所以也不能用在此处，故只能填 a。 【小题 8】 flying考查状语从句及语境的理解。科学家认为，当鸽子在白天飞行时，它们靠太阳辨别方向。这里是一个由 when引导的伴随状语，相当于原句是 when they are flying in daylight，然后省略了 they are。 【小题 9】 when/if考查状语从句及语境的理解。译为 “当星星被云层挡住的时候它们怎么导向呢？ ”when/if译为 “当 的时候 ”。 【小题 10】 obviously考查词性的变换。很明显，它们还可以靠山脉，海岸线和河道辨别方向
9、。副词放在逗号前用来修饰逗号后面的整个句子，所以此处填obvious的副词形式 obviously。 【考点】考查说明文阅读 完型填空 Thomas Edison tried two thousand different materials to make the light bulb.
