题目内容
1.先通读下面的短文,掌握其大意,然后根据短文内容和所给首字母,在空格内填入一个适当的词,使短文意思完整.Light travels at a speed which is about a million times (46)faster than that of sound.In one (47)second,light travels about 300,000kilometers,but sound travels only 340meters.You can get some idea of this difference by (48)watching the start of a running match.If you stand far away from the starter(发令员),you can see smoke come from his gun before the sound (49)reaches your ears.
The fast speed of light produces some strange facts.The nearest star is (50)so far away that light which you can see from it tonight started to travel to you four years (51)ago at a speed of nearly two million kilometers every minute.The light from some of tonight's stars started on its (52)journey towards you even before you were born.
So,if we want to be honest,we (53)can't say,"The stars are shining brightly tonight."We have to say,"The stars look nice.They were (54)shining four years ago,but their light has just reached the (55)earth."It's really amazing,isn't it!"
分析 这篇短文中作者主要介绍了光的传播速度要远远高于声的传播.光旅行的速度约是声音的一百万倍,.您可以有关于它们不同的一些看法,通过观看赛跑比赛开始的时候.如果你站在远离发令员的地方,你可以在声音传到你的耳朵之前看见烟从枪里冒出..文章又向我们描述了一种奇怪的自然现象,光的速度产生一些奇怪的事实.最近的恒星是如此远的地方,但你今晚看见的光却是它四年前以每分钟200万千米的速度传来的,这引起了人们的思考,令人感到不可思议.
解答 46.faster.考查形容词的用法及语境理解. 联系语境结合首字母提示推测此处表达的意思是光的传播速度要远远快于声的传播",这里than用于比较级,所以句子应该使用比较级,表示传播速度快应该用fast,这里用比较级.故填:faster.
47.second.考查名词的用法及语境理解.根据light travels about 300,000kilometers,but sound travels only 340meters,可知这里说的光和声音的速度指的是一秒钟之内的速度,在英语中表示秒用second.故填second.
48.watching.考查动词的用法及语境理解.根据the start of a running match,可知这里观看比赛一般用watch这个动词,放在介词by后面应该用动词的ing形式.故填watching.
49.reaches. 考查动词的用法及语境理解.根据If you stand far away from the starter(发令员),you can see smoke come from his gun before the sound--your ears.可知如果你站在远离发令员的地方,你可以在声音传到你的耳朵之前看见烟从枪里冒出.这里表示声音传到你的耳朵里用动词reach,主语是the sound,是单数形式,所以这里用reaches.故填reaches.
50.so.考查副词的用法及语境理解.根据The nearest star is--far away that light which you can see from it tonight started to travel to you four years--at a speed of nearly two million kilometers every minute,可知句子考查了句型so…that,表示如此…以至于…,so后面跟形容词或者副词原级.故填so.
51.ago.考查副词的用法及语境理解.根据four years 及首字母a,可知这里说的是四年之前,所以用ago,表示某个时间之前.故填ago.
52.journey. 考查名词的用法及语境理解. 根据今夜星辰的光芒,在你出生之前就开始向你旅行来了.这里表示开始某个旅程用单词journey表示.故填journey.
53.can't.考查动词的用法及语境理解.根据The light from some of tonight's stars started on its--towards you even before you were born,可知今夜星辰的光芒,在你出生之前就开始向你旅行来了,所以我们不能说今夜星光灿烂,所以这里用can't.故填can't.
54.shining. 考查动词的用法及语境理解.根据The nearest star is--far away that light which you can see from it tonight started to travel to you four years--at a speed of nearly two million kilometers every minute.可知我们今晚看见的光却是它四年前以每分钟200万千米的速度传来的,也就是说四年之前就发光了.故填shining.
55.earth.考查形容词的用法及语境理解.根据They were--four years ago,but their light has just reached the--可知这些星星四年之前就开始发光了,但是它们的光应该是才刚刚到达地球,earth,地球.故填earth.
