19、此结构可以由“Had+主语+-ed分词”代替,通常否定词不随助动词前置。2.It is a common theme in many science fiction stories that the world may one day be _ by outer space invaders.(分数:2.50)A.broken inB.taken overC.run overD.filled in解析:考点 考查固定搭配。3.The three men tried many times to sneak across the border into the neighbouring count

31、indicate the danger of fire.(分数:25.00)解析:H 考点 考查形容词。 该句意为“和动物相比,人们通常认为人类的嗅觉没有动物那么 -|_|-,这大可归结于我们人类是竖直站立的。”分析句子结构可知,空格处应填形容词。根据文章第一句“人类的鼻子是被低估了的工具”和常识可知,因为人是直立行走的,造成了人类的嗅觉不如动物灵敏的假象,故空格处应填H项,insensitive意为“感觉迟钝的”。解析:O 考点 考查介词。 前文出现了compared with animals,因此这里表示的也是人类与动物的对比关系,并不涉及任何包含关系,故可排除B项excluding,最适
32、合的答案是O项unlike“不像,与不同”,用来表示“人类和动物不同,我们是竖直站立的”。解析:L 考点 考查动词。 空格处需填一个现在分词,在that引导的宾语从句中,该分词作结果状语。因为前半句已经说明“人类的鼻子只限于感知飘浮在空气中的气味”,此处应该继续说“因此人类闻不到大部分附着在地面的气味”。miss意为“错过,漏掉”;exclude意为“排除,排斥”。人类因直立行走而闻不到这些气味,即“错过”这些气味,因此L项missing符合句意。解析:F 考点 考查动词。 该句意为“我们的鼻子能够察觉到人类的气味,即使这些气味被 -|_|-到远低于百万分之一”。综观选项,dilute意为“稀
33、释,使变淡”,dissolve意为“溶解”,可以推断气味只能是被“稀释”到远低于百万分之一,故选F项diluted。解析:C 考点 考查副词。 空格位于句首且后面有逗号,可判断空格处所填词作状语且首字母大写。根据上下文,该句意为“ -|_|-,对于两种花香,有些人只能闻到其中一种,而其他一些人对两种花香都很敏感”,空格处应表示大家对这种现象感到很奇怪,故选C项Strangely“奇怪的是”;K项However表示转折,句中并没有转折的意思,故排除。解析:J 考点 考查名词。 空格处需填一个名词作send的宾语。该句意为“这些感受器是能够闻到气味并向大脑传递 -|_|-的细胞。”综观选项,sig
34、n意为“符号;标记”,message意为“消息”;这里要传递的是信息而不是符号,M项signs是干扰项,只有J项messages符合句意。解析:A 考点 考查动词。 该句意为“然而,有研究发现:即使原本对某种气味不敏感的人,当经常 -|_|-该气味时,也能突然对它变得敏感起来”,表示人与气味之间的关系最有可能用到的动词就是“闻到”,综观选项,只有A项exposed“暴露;使接触到”意思与之接近,be exposed to意为“使某人接触某种环境”,在此即为“让那个人经常闻那种气味”,故选A。解析:D 考点 考查形容词。 此处意为“大脑发现让所有的嗅觉感受器都同时工作时会 -|_|-”。选项中D
35、项inefficient意为“无效率的,效率低的”,I项insufficient意为“不充足的”。根据常识可以推断出,多种感受器同时工作可能会导致“效率低下”,而非“不充分”,故D项inefficient,符合句意。解析:G 考点 考查动词。 空格所在句意为“我们意识不到自己家里的味道,但当我们去别人家里拜访时,就会 -|_|-新气味。”由句意和生活常识可知,作者此处要表达的是我们能够注意到别人家里的味道。G项notice意为“注意到,留意到”,符合句意,因此选G。解析:E 考点 考查名词。 根据such as the smell of smoke,which might indicate t
36、he danger of fire(例如,闻到烟味就可能意味着有火灾的危险)可知,此句是对emergency -|_|-的同义转述,根据常识可推测,空格所在短语的意思为“紧急信号”,E项signals意为“信号”,M项signs强调“标志;符号”,故选E。三、PART WRITING(总题数:2,分数:34.50)11.Which is a better choice, to buy a house on mortgage or to rent a house?
