23、意:但你有没有想过在一个岛上生活6个月,照顾大堡礁?设空处作前面介词about的宾语,需用动名词形式,故填spending。3.development考查词性转换。句意:随着社会的发展,更加有必要强调保护大堡礁的重要性。设空处被定冠词the修饰,作前面介词With的宾语,需用名词形式,又因此处为抽象概念,故填development。4.to highlight考查非谓语动词。设空处所在的句子是it作形式主语,真正的主语不定式短语后置。故填to highlight。5.the考查冠词。上文提到了Reef,在文中再次提到的话,往往用定冠词the。6.to get考查非谓语动词。句意:为了得到这份工

26、rted with affected seriousness, “The biggest building the astronauts could see from space is the wall, which looks very much like a black worm.”可知,有媒体报道宇航员从太空中能看到的最大的建筑物就是长城。因此A项“新闻媒体让人们怀疑这种说法”是错误的。B项“有大量证据证明这种说法”与文中表述不符;C项“宇航员戏弄中国人”文中未提及。2.C词义猜测题。由第一段中的Measuring about 13,170 miles long可知长城是雄伟的建筑物,而

27、画线词所在句意为“长城的确,但是你从太空中是看不到的”,根据前后两个分句的转折关系的提示可知majestic意为“宏伟的”,与C项意思相近。故选C。3.D细节理解题。由第三段最后两句可知,在美国宇航局约翰逊航天中心最近公布的一份录音中,阿姆斯特朗说他看到了大陆、湖泊和带有些许红色的蓝色地方。但他无法从月球上辨认出地球上任何人造物体。故选D。4.A推理判断题。文章第四段从理论上阐述了“从太空中看不到长城”的原因,通过列数字来说明。故选A。四、阅读七选五1.E根据上句“On its journey from the mountains to the ocean the river supports

28、 many different ecosystems.”可知,在从山脉到海洋的旅途中,这条河维持着许多不同的生态系统。所以它们把地球上最丰富的动植物物种给了这个地区。故选E。2.D根据上句“Above that is the mass of leaf litter on the dark forest floor.”和下句“Then there are the towering ancient hardwood trees, and finally the tops of the tallest trees many metres above the ground.”可知,底层上面是深色森林地

29、面上的落叶层,所以接下来的一层是由长着大叶子的矮植物组成的,然后是高大的古老阔叶树,最后是高出地面许多米的最高树木的顶部。故选D。3.A根据上句“While a significant number of jaguars survive here, they are only one element of this forests food chain.”和下句“These frogs, in turn, feed on insects which eat leaves and fruit.”可知,虽然大量的美洲虎在这里生存,但它们只是这片森林食物链的一部分。它们以至少87个物种为食,包括青蛙

30、,这些青蛙转而以吃树叶和水果的昆虫为食。故选A。4.B根据上句“The Amazon rainforest breathes life into the planet by fixing carbon and producing over 20 percent of all the Earths oxygen.”可知,亚马孙雨林通过固定碳和生产地球上20%以上的氧气给地球带来了生机,因此,它经常被称为“地球之肺”。故选B。5.G根据下句“As the impact of human activities such as agriculture and cattle farming continues to grow and the list of species in danger of extinction becomes longer, we are left with a question: can we afford to damage the lungs of the planet?”可知,在过去的50年里,17%的雨林由于人类的活动而消失,随着农业和养牛业等人类活动的影响持续增长并且濒临灭绝的物种的名单越来越长,这就给我们留下一个问题:我们能承担得起破坏“地球之肺”的后果吗?故选G。第13页（共13页）
