解析试题分析:考查倒装句和不定式用法。本题第二句中的否定词nowhere放在句首,后面的谓语使用部分倒装的形式。不定式做主语表示的是具体的一次性的行为,动名词做主语时表示的是经常性的行为。句意:遇见沙尘暴是可怕的经历,我们什么地方都去不了,只能待在家里。故B正确。
考点:考查倒装句和不定式用法
点评:完全倒装:
1.由地点和时间副词引出的完全倒装句:以地点副词here, there和时间副词now, then 开头,后面的动词是be, come, exist, fall, follow, go, lie, remain, seem, stand等,而主语又是名词时,构成完全倒装句。eg :Up climbed the boy when his mother came.
2.表示运动方向的副词或地点状语置于句首,谓语表示运动的动词且主语是名词时使用完全倒装
Out rushed a missile from under the bomber. 轰炸机肚底下窜出一枚导弹。
注意:
在here, there引出的倒装句中,当主语是普通名词时用完全倒装句,但当主语是代词时,就要用部分倒装句。
例:Here comes the postman!(邮递员终于来了!注意实意谓语动词位于主语之前。)
Here we are.(我们到了。注意系动词位于主语代词之后。)
The government-run command post in Tunis is staffed around the clock by military personnel, meteorologists and civilians. On the wall are maps, crisscrossed with brightly colors arrows that painstakingly track the fearsome path of the enemy.
What kind of invader gives rise to such high-level monitoring? Not man, not beast, but the lowly desert locust(蝗虫). In recent months, billions of the 3-inch-long winged warriors have descended on Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia, blackening the sky and eating up crops and vegetation. The insect invasion, the worst in 30 years, is already creating great destruction in the Middle East and is now treating southern Europe. The current crisis began in late 1985 near the Red Sea. Unusually rainy weather moistened the sands of the Sudan, making them ideal seedbed for the locust, which lays its eggs in the earth. The insect onslaught threatens to create yet another African famine. Each locust can eat its weight (not quite a tenth of an ounce) in vegetation every 24 hours. A good-size swarm of 50 billion insects eats up 100,000 tons of grass, trees and crops in a single night.
All ﹩150 million may be needed this year. The U.S. has provided two spraying planes and about 50,000 gal. of pesticide. The European Community has donated ﹩3.8 million in aid and the Soviet Union, Canada, Japan and China have provided chemical-spraying aircraft to help wipe out the pests. But relief efforts are hampered by the relative mildness of approved pesticides, which quickly lose their deadly punch and require frequent replications. The most effective locust killer dieldrin has been linked to cancer and is banned by many Western countries and some of the affected African nations. More than 5 million acres have been dusted with locust-killing chemicals; another 5 million will be treated by the end of June.
On May 30, representatives of Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Mauritania will meet in Algiers to discuss tactics to wipe out the ravenous swarms. The move is an important step, but whatever plan is devised, the locust plague promised to get worse before the insects can be brought under control.

People often say that the Englishman’s home is his castle. In this sense they mean that the home is very important and 21 . Most people in Britain live in houses 22 flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them individual(个人的); they can 23 them and change them in any way they 24 . In a crowded city the individual knows that he or she has a private space which is 25 for himself or herself and for invited friends.
People usually like to 26 their space. Are you sitting now in your home or in a beach or a train? If you are on the beach you may have spread your 27 around you; on the train you may have 28 your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may have one corner or chair which is your own.
Once I was traveling on a 29 to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man on the opposite side to me had his briefcase on the table. There was no 30 on my side of the table at all. I was made rather 31 . I thought he thought that he owned the 32 table. I took various papers out of my bag and put them on 33 ! When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. I had 34 his space ! A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in order to read them. He 35 moved his case to his side of the table. ( Of course , it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me !
