题目内容
12.The state of Florida is best known for its beaches and plam trees.But a good mass of it is swampland.The famous Everglades,a slow-moving sheet of water full of plants and alligators(短吻鳄),cover much of the southern part of the state.To the north,the Okefenokee,which is partly in Florida and mostly in neighboring Georgia,is a true swamp(沼泽) with its own alligatoers and snakes and even beautiful orchids.It was formed when waters from an ancient ocean receded and a large sandbar blocked most of the water flow to the sea.Left behind was an 1,800-square-kilometer swamp.
There's no big city within 200km,but tourists from all over the world manage to find it.They all want to know about its unusual name.Okefenokee is a Miccosukee Indian word meaning land of trtembling earth.Way back in the swamp are small,floating islands,called hammocks,which one can walk across.But they tremble.Standing on them is like trying to balance on a floating mattress(床垫).
The Okefenokee,which is already nearly filled with plants,would probably dry and become just another forest,were it not for range fires that come along every once in a while and burn out rotton vegetation(植被).So the water in this protected National Wildlife Refuge keeps moving-slowly,very slowly.

A.mainly in Georgia

C.north of Florida
D.near National Wildlife Refuge
46.The underlined word"receded"in the second pargaraph probably meansD.

解答 45-48BDCA
45.B.细节理解题.根据第一段…cover much of the southern part of the state.To the north,the Okefenokee,which is partly in Florida,可知,Everglades位于Okefenokee的南部;故选B.
46.D.词意猜测题.根据when引导的时间状语从句…a large sandbar blocked most of the water flow to the sea可知,由于古时候海洋退潮时大部分水流被巨大的沙洲阻截了,由此可知,receded的含义应该等同于draw back后退,退潮;故选D.
47.C.写作意图题.根据第三段的内容描述以及They all want to know about its unusual name.一句可知,这段主要介绍的是Okefenokee这一名字的由来;故选C.
48.A.推理判断题.根据最后一段中The Okefenokee,which is already nearly filled with plants,would probably dry and become just another forest,were it not for range fires that come along every once in a while and burn out rotton vegetation.可知,如果没有每隔一段时间就来临的局部火灾将腐烂的植被烧毁,这很有可能就会充满植物,湖泊干涸,变成另一片柏树和松树林,由此可推断A项的描述正确;故选A.
