While movements at state 8 and congressional levels are pushing in the right direction, the ambiguity in the administ

This 12 energy is liberated at the center of the Sun as billions on billions of 13 nuclei of hydrogen atoms collide with each other and fuse together to form nuclei of helium, and, in doing so, releases some of the energy 14 that is stored in the nuclei of atoms. The output o

This the Sun has been done for several thousands of millions of year. 16 The nuclear energy is released at the Sun“s center as high- energy gamma radiation, a form of ele
9、ctromagnetic radiation like light and radio waves, only of very much short wavelength. This 17 gamma radiation is absorbed by atoms inside the Sun, to be reemitted at slight longer wavelengths. This radiation, in its turn, is 18 absorbed and remitted. As the energy filters through the layers of the
10、solar interior, it passes through the x-ray part of the spectrum, and eventually becoming light. At this stage, it has reached that we 19 call the solar surface, and can escape into space, without being absorbed further by solar atoms.

27、heir efforts rewarding. Such a move would not 10 only reduce the risks associated with global warming, but also go a long way to restoring America“s green credentials.(分数:25.00)解析:ThatWhat解析 从句中的连词误用。本句主语是主语从句,需要使用 what 作为从句的主语,虽然 that 也能引导主语从句,但是它不作任何成分。解析:actedacts解析 时态错误。本句是 unless 引导的条件状语从句,是一种假
28、设,因此使用一般现在时,而不是过去时。解析:orand解析 固定搭配错误。本句的意思是“出于政治上和经济上的原因”,表示两个原因,因此使用 both.and.,而 or 一般和 either 连用,表示二者选择其一。解析:atabout解析 介词误用。本句是说燃烧煤炭每年约释放 15 亿吨的二氧化碳,只有介词 about表示“大约”,而 at 表示“在方面”,不符合上下文语境。解析:on on 解析 介词冗余。to the detriment of the world“s climate 表示“对世界气候造成危害”,on 表示“在之上”,在此处是多余的。解析:OvercomeOvercomin
29、g解析 非谓语动词误用。此处 overcome 引导的这个短语是作为整个句子的主语,因此不能使用原形或者过去分词形式,可以使用动名词形式。解析:andbut解析 连词误用。此处是转折关系,而不是顺承关系。解析:movementsmoves解析 词义混淆。movement 表示“运动,动作,活动”,而 move 表示“策略,为达到某个目的而采取的行动”,此处指州政府和国会正采取积极的策略。解析:puta解析 冠词缺失。put a price on 是固定搭配,表示“给定价”,其中的不定冠词a 不能省略。解析:rewardingrewarded解析 非谓语动词误用。此处是指美国政府到了应该为碳排放
30、定价的时候了,以便投资技术用于减少二氧化碳排放的公用事业公司得到回报。efforts 与 reward 是动宾关系,应该使用过去分词,表示被动。A summary of the physical and chemical nature of life must begin, not on the Earth, but in the Sun; in fact, at the Sun“s very center. It is here where is to be found the source of the energy that 11 the Sun constantly pours out

35、tted in such directions that, after passing 20 unhindered through interplanetary space, it hits the Earth.(分数:25.00)解析:wherethat解析 强调句型误用。这句话是强调地点状语的强调句。在强调句中,连接词一般用that,如被强调的部分是人,也可用 who/whom,不能用 which,where,when 等。解析:第二个 the the 解析 冠词冗余。这句话的意思是“正是在这里会找到太阳不停地向宇宙空间以光和热的形式释放能量的源泉”,space 表示“太空”时,前面不加
36、the。解析:onupon解析 介词误用。一般情况下 on 和 upon 可以互换,但在一些约定俗成的固定结构中不可以互换,billions upon billions 是固定搭配,表示“数十亿计的”,类似的还有 thousands upon thousands, millions upon millions。解析:releasesrelease解析 主谓不一致。release 的主语是 nuclei,是复数。而且,由连词 and 也可以看出 release 应和前面的 collide 并列,应该使用复数形式。解析:arebe解析 虚拟语气错误。本句谓语是 requires,后接 that 引
37、导的从句,谓语应该使用should+动词原形,should 可以省略。解析:donedoing解析 语态错误。这句话的意思是“太阳这样运作已经有成千百万年了”,是主动语态,has been doing 表示“一直这样做,还在继续”,所以使用 doing。解析:shortshorter解析 形容词比较级错误。由整句话来看,gamma radiation(伽马射线)是一种类似于光和射线的波,只是比光和射线的波长要短许多,表示比较,因此应该使用比较级。解析:slightslightly解析 词性混用。此处 slight 修饰的是形容词比较级 longer,因此应该用副词形式。解析:thatwhat解
38、析 从句引导词错误。在这句话中,that 引导的从句结构并不完整,call 后面缺少宾语,由此可推断,前面的引导词不仅要起连接作用,还要充当句子成分,因此使用 what。that 只能起到连接作用,不能作任何成分。解析:emittedis解析 语态错误。这句话的意思是“太阳的光和热的一小部分经由这个方向释放,穿过无阻碍的星系空间到达地球”,光能和热能是被释放的,因此用被动语态。The interloper who seized our telephone line continued to hit us again and again for the next six months. The

43、ess when we allow ourselves to be listed in the White Pages. We make it public our interests and our purchasing habits every time we shop 30 by mail order or visit a commercial website.(分数:25.00)解析:powerfulpowerless解析 语义错误。根据下文可知,电话公司对遭到黑客袭击的用户采取了多种保护措施,结果黑客却总是能攻克防卫。因此电话公司在这件事上应该是“无能为力的,无可奈何的”,故将 po
44、werful 改为 powerless。解析:AndBut解析 连词误用。前句说电话公司做了很多努力,后句说“这个制造麻烦的恶作剧者还是能攻克防卫”,因此可以判断这里是很明显的转折关系。解析:hashad解析 虚拟语气错误。条件从句表示与过去事实相反时,应该使用过去完成时,而不是现在完成时。本句意思是“如果这个黑客像科幻电影中的黑客一样邪恶并无所不能的话,他对我们隐私的威胁将可能加重。”解析:raterating解析 形近词误用。rate 意为“率,比率”,而 rating 意为“等级,级别”,credit rating 表示“信用等级”。解析:assuranceinsurance解析 形近词
45、误用。assurance 表示“保证”,而 insurance 表示“保险”,此处指“黑客以我的名义,中断我的健康保险”,因此应该使用 insurance。解析:violatingviolated解析 非谓语动词误用。violate 和 I 之间是逻辑动宾关系,即“我感到被别人侵犯”,因此应该使用过去分词表示被动。解析:anythingnothing解析 代词误用。根据上文可知,当黑客侵犯我们的隐私时,我们是无能为力的,所以什么也做不了,应该使用 nothing。解析:whichIt解析 it句型错误。as 引导时间状语从句,因此 which struck me that.应该是主句,而 wh
46、ich 只能引导从句,且该句中有一个 that 引导的主语从句,因此句首需要形式主语 it。本句含义是“我突然明白我们的隐私你的和我的已经一点一点地消失”。解析:leastthe解析 冠词缺失。此处 least 表示“最不重要的”,是最高级,前面应该加定冠词the。解析:it it 解析 代词冗余。make 的宾语是 our interests and our purchasing habits,补语是public,这里是宾语后置,因此不需要 it。此处意为“每当我们邮购或者访问网站时,我们都在使个人兴趣和购物习惯公开化。”With the effects of globalization,
