[细节理解题。根据第二段第二句中的“Tinycreaturesreleasedoxygenasawasteproduct”可知，地球上的生物后来创造了氧气。]2．WhichofthefollowingtalksabouttheEarth'sadvancedspecies?A．Mystery1． B．Mystery2．C．Mystery4． D．Mystery3．D

[细节理解题。根据第一段第四句“Somecratershaveiceinthem，eventhoughtheplanetishot”及第六句“Withoutair，therearegreattemperaturedifferencesbetweenthecoldestandhottestparts”可知，水星上不同区域的温度有很大的差别，有些地方冷，有些地方热。故选D。]5．WhydidMercury'sdiametergetsmaller?A．Adropintemperaturechangeditssize.B．Agreatmanymeteoritesranintoit.C．Itgotoutofshapeastimepassed.D．Lotsofsurfacerocksfelloff.A [细节理解题。根据第二段第四句“Astheplanetcooled，thethin，rockyoutsideshellreducedinthediameter(直径)byabout3kilometers”可知，随着水星的冷却，它的直径减少了约3千米。由此可知，水星的直径变小是温度的下降引起的。故选A。]6．WhatdoweknowaboutMercury?A．OneMercurydaylastsabout88Earthdays.B．ItturnsaroundthesunfasterthantheEarth.C．SixMercurydaysaretwoMercuryyears.D．Ithasmorecliffsthanlargecraters.B [推理判断题。根据第五段第二句“Mercurytakesabout88Earthdaystohaveacompleteyear，insteadofthe365daysthatwehaveontheEarth”可知，水星大约需要88个地球日就有完整的一年，而不是我们在地球上所需要的365天。由此可推知，水星绕太阳公转的速度比地球快，故选B。]7．WhathappenedafterMariner10'sthreevisitstoMercury?A．AnotherspacecraftvisitedMercury.B．Newcliffsandcraterswereformed.C．Newsignsofvolcanicactivityappeared.D．Lotsofnewpuzzlesneededtobesolved.D

人们总想知道未来会是什么样子的，其实要想展望未来，必须了解过去。不管世界如何变化，人们的基本需求如食物、睡眠、被欣赏和爱的感觉等不会改变，未来的虚拟世界也不会代替真实的世界。但是可以预知，未来五十年里，世界将从依靠石油的社会过渡到新的社会，人们的生活会更好。1．D [根据空处下文可知，在过去的150年里，世界发生了巨大的变化；结合空前一句可推知，空处承上启下，说明我们想要展望未来，就要了解过去，故D项符合语境。]2．A [根据空前一句可知，在过去的150年里，\n人们的基本需求如食物、睡眠、被欣赏和爱的感觉没有变化，结合空后的“No”可知，空处应是一个疑问句，并与空前一句讲人的基本需求相呼应，故A项与此处匹配。]3．G [根据该段第二句可知，该段主要讲的是预知未来的两个原因，空前一句讲的是第一个原因，即需要思考自己想要的并传递给下一代的未来是什么样的；据此可知，空处陈述第二个原因，即需要知道做出怎样的决定才能给未来带来最好的结果，故G项正确。其中G项中的“Thenweneedto”与空前一句中的“First，weneedto”相呼应。]4．F [根据空后一句可知，即使一项重大发明的价格我们可以承受，但是虚拟体验绝不会代替真实体验，结合空处上文可推知，F项符合语境，衔接上下文。]5．B [根据空处下文可知，该段介绍了对未来五十年的展望：从依靠石油的社会过渡到新的社会；未来的生活更好。故B项与此处匹配。]Ⅲ.语法填空(2020·陕西省百校联盟一模)HouseholdgarbagesortingandrecyclinghavebecomeahottopicinShanghaibecauseofChina'sfirstcompulsorygarbageseparationlawthateveryhouseholdandinstitutionshallclassifywasteintofour1．________(category)．Thosewhofailtosortgarbagemay2．________(fine)upto200yuan.3．________(previous)，everythingwentintoonebin，sothischangehasmademanypeoplevery4．________(worry)，whosaidtheywerestrugglingtomasterthedetailsquickly.Nowthankstotheeffortsof5．________numberofyoungprogrammers，discoveringtheproperclassificationforeachpieceofhouseholdwastehasbecomeassimpleastakingaphoto6．________callingsomeoneusingyoursmartphone.Theyhaveappliedspeechandimagerecognitiontechnologies7．________appsandothersmartphoneservicestoguideShanghairesidentsthroughthegarbageseparationrules.Mostoftheappsandservices，which8．________(begin)springinguplastmonthinappstoresonmessagingtoolWeChatandmobilepaymentserviceAlipay，allowuserstotypeinthenameofwaste9．________(identify)whichcategoryitbelongsto.Manyappsalsousespeechandimagerecognitiontomaketheprocessmucheasier，buttheircreatorssaytheywilldisappearintimewiththeChinese10．________(become)moreaccustomedtotherules.【语篇解读】 随着上海垃圾分类条例的实施，垃圾分类和回收成为上海的热点话题；中国年轻的程序员利用声像识别技术，将垃圾分类的工作变得如拍照或使用智能手机打电话一样容易。\n1．categories [考查名词的单复数。category为可数名词，根据该句中的“four”可知，此处用复数形式。]2．befined [考查语态。句意：那些没能进行垃圾分类的人可能会被罚高达200元。分析句子结构并根据句意可知，该句主语Those和动词fine之间为被动关系，故用被动语态。]3．Previously [考查副词。根据句子结构可知，此处修饰整个句子，故填副词Previously。]4．worried [考查形容词。分析该句结构可知，空处作make的宾语补足语，宾语为manypeople，故用形容词worried。]5．a [考查冠词。anumberof为固定搭配，意为“许多”。该处指“许多年轻的程序员”。]6．or [考查连词。根据语境可知，空处前后是选择关系。此处表示与拍照片或者使用智能手机打电话一样简单。故用连词or。]7．to [考查固定搭配。apply...to...为固定搭配，意为“将……应用于……”，此处表示将声像识别技术应用于应用程序和其他智能手机的服务。]8．began [考查动词的时态。根据该句中的“lastmonth”可知，此处陈述的是过去发生的事情，故用一般过去时。]9．toidentify [考查动词不定式。此处表示允许用户输入垃圾的名称以识别它属于哪一类，据此可知，此处作目的状语，故用动词不定式。]10．becoming [考查with复合结构。分析该句结构可知，空处为theChinese的补足语，theChinese和动词become为逻辑上的主谓关系，故填现在分词形式becoming。]Ⅳ.短文改错(2020·湖北八校第一次联考)Asitisknowntoall，theGreatWallisthemostfamousplacesofinterestinChina.Everybodywantstogothere，butIamnoexception.Then，thissummervacation，thedayIhavebeenlookingforwardtocomingatlast.IgotupveryearlythatdayandsetoffwithmybrotherTimfollowedbehind.Aftertwohours'busride，wearrivedatwhichlookedlikethelargemarket，wherethereweremillionsofpeopletalking，pushingandphotographing.Lookingatthat，myenthusiasmimmediatedisappeared.Indeed，theGreatWallisreallysomethingmustbeexperiencedwithalittleeaseandprivacy.【答案】
