试题答案
答案:1.C;2.A;3.C;4.D;5.A;6.B;7.D;8.B;9.C;10.B;11.A;12.D;13.A;14.D;15.B;16.C;17.B;18.D;19.C;20.C;
解析:
(1) | 根据下文“without possession of large areas of…”可以知道,只要“拥有”了泉水和河流就意味着获得了控制权。 |
(2) | 由“like the desert”中的“desert”可以知道是“干燥地区”,因此选“dry”。 |
(3) | 修饰土地应该用poor或rich。 |
(4) | 根据上下文,可用水一直是人们所关注的话题,人们都想取得控制权。法律的制定是由于人们之间的枪战不断发生,所以用双重否定not uncommon来表示gun fights的频繁。 |
(5) | make laws/make a law意为“制定法律”。 |
(6) | 法律的制定是为了保护“当地居民”对水的权力。 |
(7) | as引导非限制性定语从句,相当于It is known to all that…。 |
(8) | 根据句意,“世人如果随心所欲地使用水,那么水是不足的”。 |
(9) | 文章开头提到“The amount of usable water has always been of great interest in the world.”,人们需要决定“用水的数量”。 |
(10) | 根据上下文,人们“需要”计划用水的数量。 |
(11) | 此句意思为“人们更加有效地利用水”。effectively意为“有效地”。 |
(12) | according to意为“根据”。 |
(13) | correct意为“正确的,恰当的,符合公认标准的”;average意为“平均的”;further意为“进一步的”。 |
(14) | 根据下文“from the below”可知应为“from the above”。 |
(15) | 根据意思为“越来越多的人们开始关注这一点”。raise是及物动词,rise为不及物动词。 |
(16) | 积雪应该“在山顶上”,故用on mountain tops。 |
(17) | 积雪被利用。 |
(18) | gathered意为“收集到的” |
(19) | press“按钮”,而不是knock“敲”,touch“触摸”,turn“转动” |
(20) | in the near future为状语,表示将来,用will。 |
