1．C。格陵兰岛位于欧洲北部。这需要有一定的地理常识，下文并无提示。

4．B。There must be more people…表示肯定猜测，而如果直接用There are more people则太绝对化了。

5．D。根据下文得知格陵兰岛大部分地区被冰所覆盖，所以是白色的。

6．D。格陵兰岛的冰比世界最高的楼高。故选high的比较级 higher。

7．C。What about Iceland? 意为“冰岛(的地理环境和气候)又怎样呢?”。

名师点评

乘飞机时喜爱窗子旁边，但是临窗的座位上有一个警告，上面写着：此座留着是为了保持飞机平衡， 只好作罢。又有几个乘客看到空座走了过去，但看到纸条后都离开了。这时，上来一个年轻漂亮的女士，旁边的年轻人就把纸条拿掉了。阅读时注意体会文章的幽默感。

答案简析

1．A。因为下文叙述的是飞机上发生的事情。by air=by plane。

2．C。喜欢坐在窗子“旁边”。

3．B。表示结果，与上句的look for（表动作）相呼应。

4．B。从句子结构看，此空该填非谓语动词形式。seat是及物动词，

意思是“使某人就坐”，它与a young man是动宾关系，所以用seated，表示状态；而sit是不及物动词，它与a young man是主谓关系，要用sitting，表示动作。

5．C。不能选A，因为arrive为不及物动词；由下文可知，他根本没坐下来，所以也不能选B；若选D，则与上句的he went towards it相矛盾。

6．D。in large letters是固定说法，意为“用大写字母”。

7．B。这里该用现在分词表示伴随动作。say强调“说”的内容，而speak则指“说”的动作，故不选D。

8．D。which引导定语从句，指代先行词something particularly heavy。

9．A。another表泛指“另一个”。

10．C。此处不定式to sit用作定语，应与被修饰的名词seat构成动宾关系，而sit却是不及物动词，必须加上介词on。

11．B。try只表示设法去做某事，而不表示是否做成；manage却表示设法做成了某事。由本句末的but they also read the notice and went on得知，不选C。

12．B。随着情节的发展，飞机上的人越来越多，快要“满了”，所以用full。

13．B。enter作“进入”讲时，一般不与into连用，故不选C。

14．A。quickly表示“立刻行动，毫不迟延”用于此处符合the man 的心境，也大大地增强了文章的幽默感。

15．C。take ---off---是固定搭配，意为“把……从……取下”。

  这篇短文讲述了作者是如何计划一个短暂的假期，去山里天气太冷，而且假期又短，所以她决定去附近的海边度假。

答案简析

1． A。 根据下文的I can work at home all the rest of the time 可判断这里是at home。意思是“我家里有许多事要做”。

2． C。 a good chance to do it 这里的to do it是不定式做后置定语

3． B。 “度假”应用动词spend。

4． C。 go south/north/west/east to somewhere意为朝着（东南西北）方向去某处。

5． B。 everything there was beautiful 说明那儿的一切都很美。

6． D。 too…to…为固定结构，意思是“太……而不……”。

7． A。 因为decide后面的宾语从句不缺任何成分，故用 that 来引导陈述句宾语从句。

8． B。

9． A。 do want 表强调，意思是“我”真的很想去度假。整篇文章时态是以现在时为主，故wanted不可选，其它两个选项无此用法。

10．             D。along the seashore意思是“沿着海边”。

11．             C。 在阳光下应该用in ，而不是under。

12．             A。 in和一段时间连用表示将来，而after只有和点时间连用可表示将来。

13．             C。 think over意思是“仔细考虑”。

14．             C。 根据后面的than可知这里应用比较级better。

15．             B。 根据第一小节作者觉得这个时候去山里不合适，所以这里应选mountains。

本文讲解的是关于世界上最快的客机——协和式飞机（CONDORDE）的发展史。３３年的历史、英法联手打造、耗资十多个亿、两倍于声速……无一不使人们叹为观止。

答案简析

1.      C。本句如选invented或 produced，得用被动语态，took off是“起飞”的意思，这里意指“它第一次飞行是在……”因此，用flew最为恰当。

2.      A。both…and …是固定短语，为“……两者都”的意思。

3.      B。根据文意，“两个国家都有造超声波飞机的梦想”，而不是“谈话”、“会议”、或“战斗”。

4.      A。work on sth.意为“致力于……”。

5.      D。cost“耗资”。paid，wanted的主语应是人，needed指根据计划需要耗资等的数量，cost本身就表示花费成本的数量。

6.      B。voice意为“嗓音”；noise意为“噪音”；shout意为“大叫声”；speed of sound意为“声速”。

7.      B。固定短语it takes sb. some time to do sth.

8.      D。because 后面是一个名词性词组，所以用because of 意为“由于……的原因”。本句意为“由于英、美之间的五个小时的时间差”。

9.      A。根据上下文之间的联系，意为“你坐协和式飞机从London到New York，有可能已经到了New York，而还没离开London。（这是由于时差）。

10.  C。catch the flight 意为“赶上某次航班”。

11.  C。下文省略了“than in London”。

12.  B。“每架飞机”，只有用each，其他都不对。

13.  A。so far “到目前为止”，本句意为“到目前为止，已造出二十架飞机”

14.  D。通过上下文可知，这两个机场所拥有的协和式飞机最多。

15.  C。本句的主语是they，而each只是同位语，所以不可用has，have一般不用进行时态，所以不可选D。
