（二）閱讀理解（每小題2分，共8分）
In 1901, H.G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers (探險者) landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the “moon people”they met. In turn, the “moon people”expressed their surprise. “why,”they asked, “are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?”
H.G. Wells could only imagine traveling to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the“moon people” asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.
Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The “Chunnel”, a tunnel（隧道） connecting England and France, is now completed.
But what about underground cities? Japan’s Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called “Alice Cities”. The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping and so on. A solar dome（太陽能穹頂） would cover the whole city.
Supporters of underground development say that building down rather that building up is good way to use the earth’s space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G. Wells’ “moon people” would agree. Would you?
1. The explorers in H.G. Wells’ story were surprised to find that the“moon people”______.
A. knew so much about the earth B. understood their language
C. lived in so many underground cities D. were ahead of them in space technology
2. What does the underlined word “it” (Paragraph 2) refer to?
A. Discovering the moon’s inner again. B. Using the earth’s inner space.
C. Meeting the “moon people” again. D. Travelling to outer space.
3. What sort of underground systems are already here with us?
A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations.
B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.
C. Gardens, car parks, power stations.
D. Tunnels, gardens, offices.
4. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Alice Cities-Cities of the Future. B. Space Travel with H.G. Wells.
C. Enjoy Living Underground. D. Building down, not up.

3. Why does Sam need to know the time? 為什么薩姆需要知道時間？
need的用法小結：
（1）need作情態動詞，通常用于疑問句、否定句、條件句、whether/if名詞從句或含否定意義的句子中。 eg:
I do not see why we need discuss it further.
我看我們沒有必要討論下去了。
That’s all settled. It needn’t be talked about.
那已全部解決了，沒有必要再討論了。
（2）need又是實義動詞，各種變化和用法與普通實義動詞相同。 eg:
①They need a rest after a long walk.
長距離行走后他們需要休息一下。
②I need you to work for me, young man! 小伙子，我需要你為我工作！
③I need to consult a dictionary. 我需要查字典。

二、如何聽的建議
如何確定聽力材料所要求聽懂的人物、時間、地點等問題是聽力訓練中我們常遇到的難題，可以從下面幾方面入手：
1.積極進行預測
要利用已知的信息進行分析、加工、歸納、預測，以達到快速、準確理解所接收信息的目的。一定要利用一切可以利用的時間閱讀問題和選項，根據題目中的選項進行積極預測。
2.注意抓關鍵詞
捕捉信息重點是聽力測試中的重要一環。這種能力要在訓練時多加注意，因為說話的人常常通過句子的重音和語調來強調關鍵詞。
3.善于跳越難點，充分利用重復信息
聽的時候，注意力要緊跟說話人的思路。不要因為個別單詞沒聽清就不再往下聽了。應該毫不遲疑地跳過去，并接著往下聽。善于利用上下文和重復信息猜測生詞的大意。
4.學會記筆記
聽力材料不像閱讀材料可以重復。所以在做聽力尤其在聽短文或較長的對話時，做些筆記尤為重要。但是，聽力測試中的記應是速記，不是聽寫。速記要使用自己認識的、最簡便、最迅速的辦法（如字母|縮寫、等號，甚至中文）。

二、同、近義詞辨析
1. electric與electrical
(1)electric電的；用電的；帶電的；發電的
an electric current/torch/iron 電流/電筒/電熨斗 eg:
He bought an electric torch yesterday.昨天他買了一個手電筒。
(2)electrical關于電的
electrical engineering電機工程學 eg:

他在大學里主修電機工程學。
2. discover, find out與invent
(1)discover指“發現”某種本來存在，而以前未被發現的事物或未為人所知的東西。
(2)find out常用來指“弄明白、搞清楚、查出（某一真相）”，做“發現”講時，是指發現一種無形而隱藏的東西。
(3)invent表“發明”之意，意思是發明出以前沒有的東西，往往是物質性的東西。 eg:
Gilbert discovered electricity, but Edison invented the light bulb.
吉伯特發現了電，而愛迪生發明了燈泡。
Think over and you’ll find out that you are wrong.
仔細想想，你就會發現你錯了。
3. instead與instead of
instead是副詞；instead of為介詞短語，后接名詞，代詞，動名詞或介詞短語，從句等形式。一般情況下，含有instead of的句子可以改寫為含有instead的句子。 eg:
He stayed in bed all day instead of going to school.
=He didn’t go to school. Instead, he stayed in bed all day.
他沒去上學，而是在床上躺了一整天。
I didn’t drink water. I drank juice instead.
=I drank juice instead of water. 我沒有喝水，而是喝的果汁。
4. late, lately, latest, later與latter
(1)late指比預料的或正常的時間晚。 eg:
I was late for work again.我上班又遲到了。
(2)lately“近來”，常用于疑問句，否定句，或與only連用或用于as lately as中。肯定句中用recently。 eg:

Of these two men the former is dead, but the latter is still alive.
此二人中前者已死，但后者仍活著。
5. at the beginning與in the beginning
(1)at the beginning通常接of短語，表示“在……初”，“在……開始的時候”，它的反義短語是at the end of。 eg:
Great changes took place at the beginning of the century.
在那個世紀初發生了巨大的變化。
(2)in the beginning表示“起初”，“開始的時候”，不與of介詞短語連用。但at the beginning偶爾也可單獨使用，在意思上與in the beginning區別不大。 eg:
In the beginning nobody took any notice of his words.
起初沒人理睬他的話。
6. finally, at last與in the end
(1)finally一般指一系列事物或論點按排列的最后一項內容，或用在動詞前，表示等了好久才……，沒有感情色彩。 eg:

三、語言點講解
1. Jules spent many hours in Paris libraries studying geology, physics and many other subjects.儒勒在巴黎圖書館花費很長時間研究地質學，物理學和許多其他的學科。

spend money/time on sth./(in) doing sth. 在某事/做某事方面花費錢/時間
eg: He does not spend much time on his homework.
他在做作業上花費不了多少時間。
注意區別spend與take。
Take的用法是：It takes/took/will take sb. Some time to do sth.“做某事花費某人多少時間” eg:
It took him two hours to finish the work. 完成這份工作花費了他兩個小時。
2. Many of the instruments in his novels will remind the reader of Dr Benjamin Franklin’s experiments with electricity. 他小說里所提到的許多設備會讓讀者想起本杰明富蘭克林用電做的實驗。

This pair of shoes is made by hand. 這雙鞋是手工做的。
By helping them we are helping to save ourselves. 幫助他們就等于救了我們自己。
注意by表達這種含義時與with和in的區別；表示使用有形的工具或器官時要用with，其后的名詞前一般應用冠詞。使用某種語言，表示用墨水、顏色、顏料等“原料”或“材料”都用in，且名詞前不用冠詞。 eg:
It is my practice（習慣） to do my writing with a pencil. 我習慣用鉛筆寫。
Can you sing this song in English?你能用英語唱這首歌嗎？

We decided not to go abroad for the time being. 我們決定暫時不出國了。
(2)not…but…“不是……而是……”，連接兩個并列成分，如連接兩個并列賓語，兩個并列表語或兩個并列主語等。注意當not…but…連接兩個并列主語時，句子的謂語動詞要采用就近一致的原則，即與but后的主語保持一致。 eg:
He can speak not Chinese but Japanese.他不會講漢語會講日語。
He is not a poet but a writer. 他不是詩人而是作家。
Not I but he is fond of football. 不是我而是他喜歡足球。

如果你站在這里，就可以更清楚地看到游行隊伍。
7. All that is needed for life on board comes from the ocean.艇上所有生活所需全部來自于海洋。
That is needed for life on board是定語從句，修飾先行詞all。
注：（1）當先行詞是不定代詞all, everything, few, little, much, something, anything, nothing等時，賓語從句只能由that引導。 eg:
The boy handed in everything that he had picked up in the street to the police. 那個男孩把他在大街上撿到的一切東西都交給了警察。
（2）all that=what eg:
All that the said was true.=What he said was true.

8. Dressed in diving suits, they walk around in this magic world, lighted by the lamps of the ship. 他們穿著潛水衣，在船上燈的照射下在這個魔幻世界中四處走動。

(2)Btu at other moments you will find him gentle and weak, when he cries about the lost lives of people drowned in ships that have sunk. 但是在其他時刻，當他為了那些隨著沉船一起被淹死的人而哭泣時，你又會發現他溫柔又脆弱。
上面兩句中的find themselves surrounded和find him gentle and weak都是find的常見用法。這里surrounded是過去分詞，gentle和weak是形容詞，它們都用來作賓補。find的此種用法可歸納為：find+sb./sth.+adj./介詞短語/doing/done/adv./n. 。 eg:
I found the ground covered with snow when I opened the door.
當我打開門的時候我發現地面鋪滿了雪。
When he came in, he found a thief stealing his money.
他進來的時候，他發現一個小偷天在偷他的錢。

summer comes, the weather is hotter and hotter.
夏天已經到了，天氣越來越熱了。
四、典型病句診斷
1.病句：We are not allowed playing with fire.
診斷：We are not allowed to play with fire.
點撥：把句中的playing改為to play。本句使用的是allow sb. to do sth.的被動語態，應該是sb. be allowed to do sth.
2.病句：He has set out to Beijing.
診斷：He has set out for Beijing.
點撥：把句中的to改為for。“動身去某地”用“set out for sp.”是固定搭配。
3.病句：This machine has an electric fault.
診斷：This machine has an electrical fault.
點撥：把句中的electric改為electrical。Electric是“用電的/帶電的/發電的/電的”之意，而electrical表達“有關于電的”之意。根據本句之意，應表達“有關電的毛病”，所以要把electric改為electrical。
4.病句：Columbus found out America.
診斷：Columbus discovered America.
點撥：found out表示“弄明白，搞清楚”之意。而“哥倫布發現了美洲”很明顯應是發現本來就存在而以前未能發現的美洲，應用discover表達這種含義。
5.病句：We’ll have a party in the open air instead in the house.
診斷：We’ll have a party in the open air instead of in the house.
點撥：instead是副詞，而介詞短語instead of后面才能跟介詞短語。若用instead，上句可改為：We won’t have a party in the house. Instead we will have it ni the open air.。
6.病句：What have you been doing latest?
診斷：What have you been doing lately?
點撥：“latest”是adj. ，表達“最新的；最近的”之意，而句中需要一個副詞表達“最近”之意。
7.病句：I took 3 hours doing my homework.
診斷：I spent 3 hours doing my homework.
點撥：spend表“花費”之意，其結構是“Sb. spend(s)/spent/will spend some time on sth./(in) doing sth.”。而take當“花費”講時，結構是“It take/took/will take sb. some to do sth.”。
8.病句：These old pictures reminded me my childhood.
診斷：These old pictures reminded me of my childhood.
點撥：remind不能跟雙賓語，即不能構成remind sb. sth.結構，表達“提醒某人某事”時要用“remind sb. of sth.”結構。
9.病句：What have you done by the old things?
診斷：What have you done with the old things?
點撥：by之后加手段或方式，with之后加有形的工具或器官。The old things是工具，所以用with。其次，do with還有“處理”，“放置”之意。
10.病句：All which she did made us very surprised.
診斷：All that she did made us very surprised.
點撥：當先行詞為不定代詞時，定語從句應由that引導，不能用which。all為不定代詞。其他的不定代詞如everything, something, little, much等也符合這種用法。
五、類文閱讀針對性練習（16分，15分鐘）
A
You are what you eat. This saying has provided scientists with clues（線索）about the diet of hominids-our early relatives of 3 million years ago.
Studying carbon atoms（碳原子）locked up in tooth enamel（琺瑯質），two researchers argue against the widely held belief that hominids ate little more than fruits and leaves. Sponheimer and Julia Lee-Thorp of the University of Cape Town, South Africa, report their findings in Friday’s Science.
There aren’t many clues for us to know the life of early hominids. The shape of hominids’ teeth offered the first clues. Large and flat-edged with thick enamel, they looked perfect for eating nuts and fruits, different from the sharp teeth one would want to tear into meat with. The first stone tools, which would help in eating meat, didn’t appear until about half a million years later.
Scientists have also found marks on hominids’ teeth with patterns very similar to those on the teeth of modern-day fruit eaters. Sponheimer and Lee Thorp tried a new method, looking at the chemical composition of the tooth enamel. They studied the enamel for the carbon-13. Animals that eat grasses have higher carbon-13 levels than those eating fruits and other plants.
What they found was that the teeth of the hominids had an in-between amount of carbon-13, which meant not only they were eating fruits, but they were eating a lot of grasses, or animals eating grasses. The lower carbon-13 levels could also come from eating certain types of insects（昆蟲）.
But there are people who understand differently. Prof. Ungar of the University of Arkansas agrees the study offers new suggestions of hominids’ diet, but disagrees about the suggestion that meat could explain the lower carbon-13 levels.
One suggestion might be true though-take good care of your teeth. In 3 million years, a scientist might be using them to figure out what you eat for dinner.
1. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Protect Your Teeth. B. What the Hominid Ate.
C. Where the Hominid Lived. D. The Information of Tooth Enamel.
2. Before the two scientists’ findings, most people thought that hominids __________ .
A. lived half a million years ago B. ate mainly fruits and leaves
C. used tools to dig grass D. had sharp teeth
3. The two scientists’ findings were mainly based on the study about __________ .
A. the shape of hominid teeth B. the teeth marks of early fruit eaters
C. the grasses of 3 million years ago D. the make-up of the tooth enamel
4. What is it that Prof. Ungar finds doubtful?
A. Hominids possibly ate grass-eating animals.
B. Hominids probably had different
C. Hominids were basically fruit-and-grass eaters.
D. Hominids had lower level of carbon-13 in their teeth.
B
In July 1994 Jupiter, the largest planet in out solar system, was struck by 21 pieces of comet（彗星）. When the fragments（碎片） landed in the southern part of the giant planet, the explosions were watched by scientists here on the earth. But what if our own planet was hit by comet?
The year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet is heading towards the earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two fragments will probably hit the southern part of the earth. The news has caused panic.
On 17 July, a fragment four kilometers wide enters the earth’s atmosphere with a huge explosion. About half of the fragment is destroyed. But the major part survives and hits the south Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and an enormous wave is created and spreads. The wall of water rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned. The wave moves into the Indian Ocean and heads towards Asia.
Millions of people are already dead in the southern part of the earth, but the north won’t escape for long. Tons of broken pieces are thrown into the atmosphere by the explosions, as the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later civilization has collapsed. No more than 10 million people have survived.
Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the earth. The dinosaurs（恐龍）were on the earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the earth was hit by a space fragment. The dinosaurs couldn’t survive in the cold climate that followed and they became extinct. Will we meet the same end?
5.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to author’s description of the disaster in 2094?
A. The whole world becomes extremely cold.
B. All the coastal cities in Africa are destroyed.
C. The whole mankind becomes extinct.
D. The visit of the comet results in wars.
6. Why does the author mention dinosaurs at the end of the passage?
A. Because they could only live n the warm climate.
B. Because they once dominated the earth.
C. Because their extinction indicates future disasters.
D. Because dinosaurs and humans never live in the same age.
7. In writing the passage, the author intends to _________.
A. give an accurate description of the possible disaster in the future.
B. prove tat humans will sooner or later be destroyed
C. tell the historical development of the earth
D. warn of a possible disaster in the future.
8. It can bge concluded that the passage is most probably part of a(n) _________.
A. horror story B. news report
C. research paper D. article of popular science

Ⅵ 單元語法講解
一、單元語法知識歸納：構詞
在英語中，詞的構成方法主要有三種，即合成、轉化和派生。
1.合成法
把兩個或兩個以上獨立的詞合成一個新詞的方法叫合成法，也叫合詞法。
（1）合成名詞
highway 公路
（2）合成形容詞
hand-made 手工制作的 good-looking相貌好看的 dark-blue 深藍
（3）合成動詞
ill-treat 虐待 mass-produce 大規模生產 safe guard 保衛
（4）合成副詞
however 然而 downstairs 在樓下
（5）合成代詞 anybody nobody something
2.轉化法
轉化是指詞由一種詞類轉化為另一種詞類。
（1）動詞轉化為名詞
常用give, take, have, make等動詞與其搭配構成動詞詞組，表示一個動作。 eg:
give a smile 微笑 give a tick 踢 take a seat 就座
take a bath 洗澡 have a swim 游泳 have a talk談話
make a wish 許愿
（2）形容詞轉化為副詞
How long is the road？那條路有多條？（形容詞）
How long have you been working there?你在那里工作了多久？（副詞）
（3）形容詞轉化為動詞 eg:
The storm slowed down to half its speed. 風暴速度減慢了一半。
The girls gradually quieted down. 女孩子們慢慢安靜了下來了。
（4）名詞轉化為動詞 eg:
The hall can seat two thousand people.大廳能坐2000人。
The passengers have booked their plane ticket.旅客們已經訂了飛機票。
（5）形容詞轉化為名詞
Something has gone wrong with the tool.工具出了點毛病。（形容詞）
Little children didn’t know the difference between right and wrong.
小孩子不能辨別是非。（名詞）
3.派生法
派生是由詞根加詞綴（前綴、后綴）構成新詞。除少數前綴外，前綴一般只改變詞的意義，不改變詞性；后綴一般只改變詞性，不引起詞義的變化。
前 綴 例 詞
a-構成形容詞、副詞 Alive（活著的）, abroad（在國外）, alone
dis-（否定） discourage, disagree
en-（使可能） enrich, enable(使成為可能)，endanger
in-(ill, im-, ir-)（不，非） invisible(看不見), illogical（不合邏輯的）, impossible, irregular（不規則的）
inter-（相互，之間） international, interchange
mis-（誤） mislay, misunderstand（誤會）,mislead（誤導）
re-（重復，再） recycle（循環）,remarry, rewrite
tele-（遠程） telephone, telegraph, telecommunications（電信）
un-（不），non-（不，非） unfair, unknown, noon-conductor（非導體）
后 綴 例 詞
名 詞 -er……者 foreigner, traveler, speaker, reader
-ese……地方的人 Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese
-ian 精通……的人，……地方的人 musician, technician（技術員）， African, Asian
-ist 專業人員 pianist, physicist, scientist, violiinist
-ment性質，狀態 movement（運動）, development, encouragement
-ness性質，狀態 illness, shyness, sadness, business
-or器具，……者 tractor, visitor, professor, actor
名詞 -tion表示動作、過程、結果 ageneration（世代），suggestion, invention, action
形容詞 practical（實用的）,international, finalAmerican, Italian, Australiansouthern, northern, easternhelpful, useful, harmfulreasonable, capable, eatablefoolish, British, English selfishactive, native（本族的）,expensive, adoptivewindy, sleepy, healthy, sunnycareless, selfless（無私心的）,harmless, useless
動詞 -fy使……化 simplify（簡化）, terrify（恐嚇）, satisfy
-ize使……成為 realize（實現）, organize, stabilize, modernize
副詞 -ly表示方式、程度 badly, truly, angrily, suddenly
-ward(s)表示方向 toward(s), backward, outward(s)（向外）
數 詞 -teen十 fourteen, eighteen, thirteen
-ty整十位數 forty, fifty, eighty, twenty
-th序數詞 twelfth, twentieth, fourth

參考答案
I.課前準備導讀
三、（一）1. She can speak many languages, such as English, French, Chinese and Japanese.
2. Does he run any slower than you?
3. We saw light in the distance.
4. How about going to France for our holidays?
5. I prefer going ballooning to doing anything else.
（二）1.C 點撥：文中所提及（when the explorers）discovered that the moon was full of underground cities。 故應選C。
2.B 點撥：文中言及“月球人”問地球人：你們為何到外層空間旅行而不利用你們的內層空間呢？同時文中又說到：月球人所問的問題仍然是一個有趣的問題。將文中的這兩處結合起來考慮，答案應為B項。
3.B 點撥：文中所提及的已存在的地層內部設施只是地道、停車場、商業區，故應選B。
4.D 點撥：先排除B、C兩項，因為文中從未提及H.G. Wells太空旅行一事，也從未提及人們樂意住在地下，故均應排除。A項是迷惑度很大的干擾項，因為也許有許多人認為地球上人類由地面轉入地下是人類未來的一種趨勢，這就犯了以偏概全的邏輯思維錯誤。文中所說的只是支持人類轉入地下這一觀點的論點，是一家之言，并不一定能代表人類未來的發展趨勢。所以，邏輯思維的全面性是至關重要的。故應選D項。
Ⅲ．口語導讀
三、（一）1.B 點撥：根據題干。缺少“今后”之意。in future表“今后“之意，A表“在將來”之意，C是“在遙遠的未來”之意，而D若是for the future則等于B。故選B項。
2.A 點撥：work with是“與某人一起工作”的意思。Work out意為“解決”或“算出”，work on是“從事”之意，work at是“致力于”之意。
3.C 點撥：指心臟的跳動用beat。
4.C 點撥：根據語意“我不確定是否要下雨”，所以排除A，表達確定之意，應是“ge sure”，排除D。第二個空“天要下雨，表示即將發生的事應是“ge going to do”，排除B。所以應選C。
5.A 點撥：Never是含有否定意義的副詞，置于句首時，句子采用了部分倒裝。所以還原句子，則不難看出C、D缺少be動詞。而believe應構成believe in doing sth結構，所以排除B。
6.C 點撥：本句語意是“人活著必須有信念”，用to do做后置定語修飾不定代詞something。同時believe表示“相信”之意，believe in表示“信仰”之意，所以選C。
7.B 點撥：本句的意思是“你想出的處理污水的辦法是可行的”。“處理污水”用短語“deal with”。而do為及物動詞，其后應有賓語，排除C。同時這里that引導定從，指代先行詞the way作定語從句中thought of 的賓語。因此定語從句還原后應是“you thought of a way to deal/of dealing with the polluted water”，所以選B。
8.D 點撥：“I believe so, I believe not, I don’t believe so”句型表示個人看法。
9.A 點撥：“I think so, I think not, I don’t think so”也表示個人看法。
10.D 點撥：need為實義動詞時，其后跟帶to的不定式。根據don’t need判斷B、C中的need應為實義動詞，所以其結構不符合need為情態動詞，此時need后應跟動詞原形，所以排除A。
（二）1～5 D G E C B
Ⅳ．閱讀指導
五、這是一篇介紹有關科學家通過研究300萬年前古人類牙齒結構推測其所吃食物的科普類短文。
1.B 點撥：這是一道對通篇文章主旨大意進行推斷、歸納的題目。A、C兩項內容文中均未提及，D項太片面，故應排除。
2.B 點撥：文中第二段第一句提及：…two researchers argue against the widely held belief that hominids ate little more than fruits and leaves.故選B。A項內容與文意不符，C項內容未提及，D項是作為反證，說明hominids當時是不具備的。
3.D 點撥：根據文意，這兩位科研工作者的發現是根據hominids牙齒的形狀，尤其是厚厚的琺瑯質結構而推斷出的，故應選D。
4.A 點撥；由五、六兩段推知。
這是一篇科普文章，假想2094年，由于彗星的碎片撞擊地球，將會給世人所帶來的災難。人類是否真的會像恐龍一樣在地球上消亡呢？
5.C 點撥：A項在第四段有交代；B項在第三段有描述，關鍵詞totally; D項在第四段有描述；惟獨C項未提及，故應選C。
6.C 點撥：A項文章未交代；B項跟最后一段不符合；D項答非所問；C項中indicates意思是“暗示有……的可能性”，故選C。
7.D 點撥：A項不妥，因為文中沒有精確指述；B、C項不妥，因為文章只是科幻文章，并非事實。D項意為警告人類，假如災難真的發生了，我們該怎么辦。故應選D。
8.D 點撥：根據文章的大意，不難推出這屬于科普方面的文章。故應選D。
Ⅴ.綜合技能導讀
三、（一）1.B surprising 意為“令人驚奇的”的，surprised意為“感到驚奇的”，根據語意排除C、D。從第二個空排除A，因為home是副詞，“給家里寫信”不加介詞to。故應選B。
2.C 點撥：“dream of doing sth”是固定短語，意為“夢想做某事。
3.B 點撥：alive意為“活著的”，作后置定語。Living常作前置定語。Live作前置定語，一般不指人。lively意為“生動，活潑，充滿朝氣的”。因此根據語意和結構應選B。
4.D 點撥：本句是強調句型，強調時間狀語“in 2,000”。根據強調句型結構應選D。
5.A 點撥：本題中的experience應譯作“經歷”，此時它是可數名詞。經歷應是令人興奮的，故應選A。
6.A 點撥：fix one’s attention on sth. 是固定短語，意為“把注意力集中在某事上”此題用了它的被動語態。其他選項都不符合結構需要，應排除。
7.B 點撥：make oneself done是“使某人自己被……”之意，這里過去分詞done用來作賓補。本句意思是“因為學生如此吵鬧，老師不能使自己被注意到”，所以選B。
8.C 點撥：succeed in doing sth. 結構不符合本
