解析试题分析:考查方位词的用法和定语从句。第一空前面前面已经有了具体的数字,故使用方位副词。如果使用介词短语,前面就不需要数词。第二空是非限制性定语从句,Which指代先行词a town在句中做主语。句意:在成都西面40公里,有一座城市,在地震里遭受了巨大的损失。现在正在在恢复中。故A正确。
考点:考查方位词的用法和定语从句
点评:方位词east等可以单独使用,在句中做状语。定语从句要注意句子成分的分析,定语从句的考查主要就是考查关系词的辨析,关系代词that, which, whose, whom, as, who在句中做主语,宾语,表语或者定语;where, why, how在句中做状语。要分析句子成分,看缺少什么成分,就选用相应的关系词。
In 490 B.C. the Greek messenger, Pheidippides , ran about 40 kilometers from the town of “Marathon”to Athens to announce the victory of Athens over Macedon . Since then ,the 42–kilometer “Marathon”race has become a great test for athletes. However, for many years , only men were allowed to run this race , because the distance was said to be unbearable for women. In 1966, an American women named Roberta Gibb proved that idea wrong.
Gibb had always enjoyed running .One day in 1964 , she saw the Boston Marathon happening as she was running in the woods. Since running meant a lot to her, she began training harder , hoping to join the marathon some day.
Gibb finally applied to run in the 1966 Boston Marathon, but she was not given entrance because the Boston Marathon Association considered that women were not strong enough to run 42 kilometers . Yet, this was no obstacle to Gibb, for she knew she had the physical and mental strength to complete the race .On the day the 1966 Boston Marathon was held , Gibb hid in the bushes and jumped into the race when it began. She finished the race in 3 hours and 21 minutes, defeating two thirds of the men in the race and proving that women could run the marathon.
Although what Gibb did was only to realize her dream, in doing so she showed the world that women could accomplish greater things than many people believed they could.
