Question

7．People burn coal，gas and oil to get energy But there are problems with these fuels （燃料）．（A）Firstly，these fuels cause pollution．Pollution makes the air and water unsafe for humans．Secondly，these fuels willnot last forever．One day，we will run out of these fuels
    Scientists are looking for new kinds ofenergy．One is heat from the Earth．We know that （B）地球中央非常热．We cannot reach the center of the Earth，but in someplaces the heat from the Earth's center comes to the surface of the Earth．Perhapsyou know about some of these places One place is volcanoes（火山）．It is very dangerous to go near an active volcano，（C）sowe cannot use the energy from this．
    Another kind of heat from the Earth is hotsprings （温泉）．In these places，hot water comes to the surface of theEarth．If this water is near a town，the hot water can be sent in pipes（管道）directly to people's houses to heat them．In Iceland，this is a common way toheat houses．
    （D）In Australia，scientists are lookingfor ways to make energy using hot rocks under the surface of the Earth．They want to pump （抽水）water onto the hot rocks．When the water hitsthe rocks，it makes stream（蒸汽）．The steam is piped to power stations where （E）it is used to make electricity．The electricity can then be sent allover the country．

89．在文中（A）和（C）的空白处分别填入适当的单词．Firstly； so
90．将文中划线部分（B）译成英语．the center of the Earth is very hot
91．将文中划线部分（D）改写为：InAustralia，scientists are trying tofind ways to make energywith hot rocks under thesurface of the Earth．
92．文中划线部分（E）指代的是：steam
93．从文中找出两个表示能源名称的词．coal，gas，oil，electricity 中的任何两个．

Answer 1

分析 人们通过燃烧煤炭、石油、天然气来获取能源．但是这些燃料用起来会有一些问题．首先，这些燃料会导致空气污染、水质污染，对人们的健康造成危害．其次，这些燃料都是不可再生资源，总有一天会枯竭．科学家们正致力于新能源的开发．

解答 89．Firstly； so．连词考查．结合后面的Secondly第二，前面用firstly第一，结合It is very dangerous to go near an active volcano，靠近一座活火山是很危险的（C）we cannot use the energy from this．我们也很难利用火山这一资源．前后是因果关系，故用so所以，故答案是Firstly； so．
90．the center of the Earth is very hot．汉译英题，that引导的宾语从句，表达的是客观事实用一般现在时，不受主句限制，the center of the Earth 地球中心，故答案是the center of the Earth is very hot．
91．find；  with．同义句转换．结合look for相当于find寻找，try to do sth尽力做某事，using hot rocks under the surface of the Earth用地球表面滚烫的岩石，用介词with表示手段，方法，故答案是find；  with．
92．steam．推理题，结合The steam is piped to power stations where （E）it is used to make electricity蒸汽传输到发电站，蒸汽就能发电，it替代的是上文的steam，故答案是steam．
93．coal，gas，oil，electricity 中的任何两个．细节题，结合本文People burn coal，gas and oil to get energy 以及最后The electricity can then be sent allover the country．
可知本文提到了煤，油，天然气和电力，故任选两个，故答案是coal，gas，oil，electricity．

点评 明确任务后，应迅速阅读全文来了解文章主要内容，以及文章的感情基调、作者的意图、态度倾向．在材料后的问题设置中，经常有对文章大意的考查．对于概括大意的题目，需要通篇考虑，对要点加以归纳概括，这类题目有时可以从文中找到答案，但有时需要用自己的话来概括
