分析 研究发现大量的非洲沙尘能吹过大西洋到北美和南美降落.非洲的沙尘暴会损害大洋彼岸的空气质量,但是新的研究表明暴雨也会带来一些好处.据发现平均每年有28million 立方的撒哈拉沙尘降落在南美的亚马逊河流域.科学家认为沙尘是植物养分的重要供应者,因为沙尘中含有的磷是植物生长所需要的.事实上,每年空中落下的磷和河水带走的磷的数量基本平衡.浓密的热带雨林和沙尘在这个星球上是联系在一起的.
解答 61.a;考查冠词,a large amount of 是固定短语,意为"大量的",后接不可数名词.
62.across;考查介词,这里介词短语 across the ocean作后置定语,修饰名词 air quality.
63.shows;考查动词,这里讲述一种事实情况,用一般现在时,主语 new research 为单数形式,所以用第三人称单数形式shows.
64.It;考查固定句型,It is found that…是固定句型结构,意为"据发现…".
65.provider;考查名词,前面有不定冠词an,所以这里要用可数名词的单数形式,an important provider意为"一个重要的供应者".
66.surprising;考查分词做形容词,现在分词作形容词修饰物,过去分词作形容词修饰人,这里句子的主语是it,所以用现在分词作形容词.
67.which;考查关系代词,分析句子结构可知这是一个非限制性定语从句,先行词为 phosphorous(磷),所以关系代词用which.
68.to grow;考查动词不定式,这里用不定式表示目的,句意为"这是植物生长所需要的营养".
69.falling;考查分词短语作后置定语,the phosphorous 与动词fall存在逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词短语作后置定语.
70.are joined;考查系表结构,这里joined作形容词,与系动词are构成系表结构,句意为"热带雨林和沙尘在这个星球上是联系在一起的".
