题目内容
16.Have you heard of Lake Titicaca?It is a famous lake in South America,which(61)is located (locate) on the border between Bolivia and Peru.But the lives of the ancient people who once lived around the lake and(62)whose culture was thought to be highly advanced,have long remained a secret.Recently,(63)however,scientists(64)taking(take)part in an exploration project at the lake have found what they believe to be a 1000yearold temple under the water.Divers from the study group have discovered(65)a building scientists think is the remains of a temple(66)built (build) by the people who once lived beside the lake.The project leaders hope to begin raising important materials from the site later this week unless bad weather forces a change in their plans.
"The scientists have not yet had the opportunity to study the materials(67)carefully(careful),"said project director,John Aubi."But some have put forward the idea that the remains date from this period because of their(68)similarity/similarities (similar) to those found elsewhere."
The research team have so far this year(69)made(make) more than 200dives into water 30metres deep.During these dives,they have been recording the ancient remains on film.There will be a meeting starting later this year(70)to review (review) the film.
分析 本文主要介绍在南美的考古发现.科学家在南美的Titicaca湖水下发现了一座由生活在湖附近的人们修建的庙宇,大约有1000年了.到目前为止,研究人员在三十米的水下作了200多次的下潜,用胶卷对这些古代的遗迹作了记录.
解答 61.is located 考查动词时态和语态.be located on意为"位于,坐落在",此处讲述的是一般事实,用一般现在时的被动语态.
62.whose 考查定语从句.分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句,先行词ancient people与culture之间是所属关系,用关系代词whose.
63.however 考查副词.however表示转折,尤其用于谈及一个既成事实时,表示转折,其意为"可是""仍然"等.可放在句首、句中或句末,通常用逗号与句子其他成分隔开.
64.taking 考查现在分词.scientists与take之间是主谓关系,用现在分词短语taking part in an exploration project at the lake作后置定语.
65.a 考查冠词.building是可数名词,单数形式前加不定冠词a表示泛指.
66.built 考查过去分词.temple与build之间是动宾关系,用过去分词短语built by the people who once lived beside the lake作后置定语.
67.carefully 考查副词.study是动词,要用副词修饰.
68.similarity/similarities 考查名词.根据空前的their判断此处应用similar的名词形式.
69.made 考查动词时态.根据句中状语so far,要用现在完成时态.
70.to review 考查动词不定式.此处动词不定式表示目的,作目的状语.
