【解析】
文章大意:文章主要介绍人类在探索太空初期是先将动物送到太空中去的,我们不应该忘记这些动物。
【1】句意:今天人们用现代机器看天空。
look看,动词原形;to look看,动词不定式;looking看,动名词;looked看,动词过去式,根据固定搭配use sth to do sth“使用……做某事”可知,应该用动词不定式形式,故选B。
【2】句意:这与几千年前人们只能用眼睛的情况大不相同。
thousand千;thousands千,复数;thousand of错误表达;thousands of成千上万的,根据thousand等大数的用法,数词+thousand“几千”,用单数;thousand和of连用时,用复数形式,由所给空前面没有数词,可知,应该用thousands of,故选D。
【3】句意:也许他们梦想着探索宇宙。
explore探索,动词原形;to explore探索,动词不定式;explored探索,动词过去式;exploring探索,动名词,根据所给空前面的of是介词可知,后面要跟动名词形式,故选D。
【4】句意:这个故事发生在不久之前,但是第一批宇航员不是人,他们是动物。
as因为,作为,当……时;or或者,否则;but但是;so所以,根据前文“The story began not so very long ago”“这个故事发生在不久之前”和后文“the first astronauts were not people-they were animals”“第一批宇航员不是人,他们是动物”可知,应该是转折关系,故选C。
【5】句意:科学家们想使人类到太空旅行尽可能安全。
safe安全的,形容词原形;safer比较安全的,形容词比较级;safest最安全的,形容词最高级;the safest最安全的,形容词最高级,根据as+形容词/副词原形+as possible意为“尽可能……”,故选A。
【6】句意:所以他们决定用动物做实验并在太空飞行中进行测试。
they他们,主格;them他们,宾格;their他们的,形容词性物主代词;theirs他们的,名词性物主代词,根据所给空前面的“test”是动词“测试”后面接宾格,故选B。
【7】句意:昆虫、老鼠、青蛙、狗和猴子是最早进入太空的动物。
whom先行词是人,在定语从句中作宾语;what什么;that先行词是人或物,在定语从句中作主语或宾语;whose先行词是人或物,表示所属关系,根据前文“some of the animals”“一些动物”和后面的“first went into space”“最早进入太空”可知,是定语从句,先行词是物且在定语从句中作主语,故选C。
【8】句意:它们中的许多动物死了,但它们帮助使太空旅行对人类更安全。
die死,一般现在时;died死,一般过去时;have died已经死了,现在完成时;will die将会死,一般将来时,根据后文“but they helped”“但是它们帮助了”可知,时态是一般过去时,故选B。
【9】句意:为了他们的伟大贡献,我们不应该忘记这些动物。
shouldn’t不应该;may not可能不;don’t have to不需要;needn’t不需要,根据前面的“For their great service”“为了它们的伟大贡献”和后文的“forget these animals”“忘记这些动物”可知,是不应该,故选A。
【10】句意:不幸的是,他的太空舱降落回地球后,他就去世了。
if如果;because因为;after在……之后;since自从,由于,根据前文“Sadly he died”“不幸的是,他去世了”和后文的“his space ship landed back on Earth”“他的太空舱降落回地球”可知,应该是在……之后最符合语境,故选C。
做完型填空时,首先要通读课文,明白主旨大意,然后再做题。做完型时要记住“瞻前顾后想结果”这一原则,根据上下文以及语境做题,切忌主观臆断。另外,平时还要多多积累词汇。完型填空常考名词、动词、形容词和副词等辨析。做词义辨析题时,首先要确认四个选项的含义,然后分析语境和逻辑关系,确定答案。
例如题目6中,首先确定四个选项含义,they他们,主格;them他们,宾格;their他们的,形容词性物主代词;theirs他们的,名词性物主代词,根据所给空前面的“test”是动词“测试”后面接宾格,故选B。
