Question

【题目】In science fiction, space 【1】 (describe) as a silent, empty place but things are different. In fact, all of the equipment 【2】 (use)to keep a space station functioning can be so noisy 【3】 the astronauts working there cannot talk with one another 【4】 (easy) — they have to shout. The high levels of sound may affect their work, and can sometimes even mean that they are 【5】 (able) to sleep. In addition, they must face other problems in space. Scientists have found over 70, 000 items f rubbish 【6】 still remain in orbit (轨道) around the earth. Most of them are 【7】 (small)than a tennis ball, but they still threaten (威胁) the 【8】 (safe)of exploring in space. Even a small piece of metal could cause a terrible disaster if it hit a manned spacecraft. Although generally astronauts do make an effort 【9】 (bring) most of their rubbish home, they don’t always manage it. And they don’t just leave their rubbish in space either. There is even a broken camera behind on 【10】 moon.

【解析】本文介绍了太空中有很多噪音，以至于在那里工作的宇航员彼此之间不能轻易交谈，有时甚至意味着他们不能睡觉，并且还有许多太空垃圾。

【1】考查时态和语态。space与describe之间是被动关系，用被动语态，表示经常或反复发生的事情，用一般现在时，综上所述，应该使用一般现在时的被动语态，填is described。

【2】考查非谓语动词。all of the equipment与use之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词作定语，填used。

【3】考查固定用法。所有的设备都太吵闹了，以至于在那里工作的宇航员彼此之间不能轻易交谈。So…that太……以至于，是固定用法，所以填that。

【4】考查副词。修饰动词短语talk with，用副词，所以填easily。

【5】考查形容词。有时甚至意味着他们不能睡觉。作be动词后的表语，用形容词，所以填unable。

【6】考查定语从句。___6___ still remain in orbit (轨道) around the earth. 是一个定语从句，修饰先行词items of rubbish，关系词在从句中作主语，指物，所以填that/which。

【7】考查比较级。由than a tennis ball可判断这里需要使用比较级，所以填smaller。

【8】考查名词。作threaten的宾语，所以用名词，填safety。

【9】考查固定用法。make an effort to do 努力做某事，是固定用法，所以填to bring。

【10】考查冠词。世界上独一无二的东西，用定冠词the。
