分析 太平洋是世界上大洋之中最大的一个,它北至北冰洋,南至南极洲,东西分别被亚洲,澳洲和美洲环绕着.太平洋中约有25000个岛屿.它们大部分在赤道以南,赤道附近的水含盐较少.太平洋表明水循环呈顺时针方向. 在澳大利亚和新西兰的浅水海岸,有丰富的各种各样的矿产.在沿澳大利亚,日本,菲律宾的海岸盛产珍珠,值得一提的是太平洋中最大的财富是它的渔业资源.
解答 61.largest;考查形容词的最高级,句子有介词短语of the Earth's oceans限定范围,结合句意"太平洋是世界上大洋之中最大的一个"可知,此处应用最高级形式biggest.
62.covering;考查分词作状语,句子主语The Pacific Ocean与动词 cover存在逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词作状语.
63.from;考查介词,分析句子可知,这里用from与后面的to构成短语"from…to…",意为"从…到…"
64.majority;考查名词,定冠词the后面要跟名词,The majority of them 意为"他们中的大多数".
65.The;考查定冠词,water后面有near the equator 限制范围,所以前面要用定冠词the表示特指.
66.abundant;考查形容词,这里用形容词作定语,修饰名词性短语equatorial precipitation.
67.generally;考查副词,此处用副词generally做状语,修饰形容词 clockwise (顺时针方向的).
68.which;考查关系代词,分析句子结构可知,这是一个非限制性定语从句,这里用which指代前面讲到的 The exploitation of the Pacific's mineral wealth is various这件事.
69.are harvested;考查被动语态,分析句子结构可知,pearls和动词harvest是被动关系,故用被动语态are harvested.
70.mentioning;考查动名词,worth doing是固定短语,意为"值得做",在这个短语中用动名词的主动形式表示被动含义.
