解析:

1. D  此句中指出的是:中国人该找到的空间。显然用room, 而不是其它实物体名词。

2. B  journey和trip只作名词,travel和tour既可作名词,又可作动词; travel正式的通常概念上的旅行,最后一定要返回出发地;tour侧重到多处观光,强调路线曲折。

3. A  根据句意,中国人是首次登北极,故用first。

4. C  选项A、 B和D不合句意;announce多强调宣布公众所关心的社会问题。

5. D  短语a while ago方才, 刚才。

6. C  hold back阻止, 抑制; 其它搭配均不合句意。

7. A  which引导非限制性定语从句,关系代词which在从句中作主语。

8. A  根据句意,此处该用介词during。其它为连词,不合句意。

9. B  作几个常用词的用法比较:rise(太阳、水、气等的)升起;raise(人为的)升起;lift举起;carry携带。

10. C  众所周知的时刻,known as polar day作定语,修饰a time。

11. A  版图与扩展之间存有主谓关系,故用spreading。

12. D  work out设计出, 做出;pick out 挑选; keep out 使在外; carry out贯彻, 执行。本句句意为:中国在实施着许多研究,目的是想了解更多的北方气候和环境的变化。故选D。

13. B  根据第12题句意,可知。

14. B  such as表示列举, for example = for instance举例说明,such that如此。

15. A  have something to do with 与......有关。

16. C  选项A、D不合句意;B为不及物动词;故选C。

17. C  in greater depth意为在更深层处,greater强调与此之前的含蓄比较。

18. A  include强调包含有,而contain表示内容,不用进行时,including为介词。

19. D  of与抽象名词连用相当于该名词的形容词,即of great support = very supportable。

20. C  为which was established的省略形式

Except for the sun, the moon looks like the biggest object in the sky. Actually it is one of the smallest, and only looks big because it is so near to us. Its diameter(直径) is only 2,160 miles (3,339 km) ,or a little more than a quarter of the diameter of the earth.

Once a month, or more exactly, once every 29.5 days, at the time we call “full moon”, its whole disc looks bright. At other times only part of it appears bright, and we always find that this is the part which faces towards the sun, while the part racing away from the sun appears dark. People could make their pictures better if they kept this in mind — only those parts of the moon which are lighted up by the sun are brighter. This shows that the moon gives no light of its own. It only throws back the light of the sun, like a huge mirror hung in the sky.

Yet the dark part of the moon’s surface is not completely black; usually it is just light enough for us to be able to see its shape, so that we speak of seeing “the old moon in the new moon’s arms”. The light by which we see the old moon does not come from the sun, but from the earth. We know well how the surface of the sea or of snow, or even of a wet road, may throw back uncomfortably much of the sun’s light on to our faces. In the same way the surface of the whole earth throws back enough of the sun’s light on to the face of the moon for us to be able to see the parts of it which would otherwise be dark.

72. Why is the dark part of the moon not completely black?

A. The sun shines on the moon’s surface.

B. The earth throws back sunlight on to the moon.

C. The moon throws back the light from the sun.

D. The moon has light of its own.

73. The underlined word “disc” in the second paragraph refers to _______.

A. a round plate                                 B. a round record

C. the moon that reflects sunlight         D. the moon which looks like a round plate

74. By saying “the old moon in the new moon’s arms” , we mean a time when ______.

A. the two moons are closely linked

B. the new moon is at its brightest

C. the moon is partly bright and partly dark

D. the new moon is hugging the old moon

75. Which of the following is true according to the text?

A. The moon which appears round at its brightest is called full moon.

B. The moon’s diameter is exactly one fourth of that of the earth.

C. The light by which we see the old moon comes from the sun

D. The part of the moon which is not lighted by the sun is completely dark.
