　　答案簡(jiǎn)析

　　A。one of 后要用可數(shù)名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式，根據(jù)文章意思，可知答案是A。

　　D。要表達(dá)第幾個(gè)世紀(jì)，應(yīng)該用“序數(shù)詞＋century”，而根據(jù)常識(shí)，計(jì)算機(jī)是二十世紀(jì)的產(chǎn)物，A項(xiàng)“二十一世紀(jì)”與實(shí)際不符合。

　　B。固定搭配not only…but (also)… 意思是“不但……而且……”。所以答案是B。

　　A。in many ways為一固定用法，表示“在許多方面”。

　　D。根據(jù)文章大意，可知答案是D，表示“給人們帶來(lái)財(cái)富和快樂”。

　　C。因?yàn)镋nid是名字，故用called。

　　C。根據(jù)常識(shí)可知老式計(jì)算機(jī)龐大而笨重，故填large。

　　D。該句句意為“自它誕生之日起，它的發(fā)展就非常迅速”，since在意思和時(shí)態(tài)上與主句呼應(yīng)，為正確選項(xiàng)。

　　C。go through表示“經(jīng)歷……”。

　　D。

　　A。用介詞for+賓語(yǔ)表示“為人們做事”，故選A。

　　C。know about表示“了解”，側(cè)重于有關(guān)某人或某事的具體情況。

　　A。learn后面接的是一個(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句，而且連接詞在從句中做learn 的賓語(yǔ)，所以只能用what，因?yàn)閠hat在賓語(yǔ)從句中是純連詞，只能起連接作用，不能做句子成分。

　　D。think ofthink about表示“考慮”；think out表示“想出”；根據(jù)文章含義，答案應(yīng)是D。

　　C。介詞as表示“作為”，為正確選項(xiàng)。

　　答案簡(jiǎn)析

　　1. B。空白部分兩句構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故選擇并列連詞but。

　　2. B。沙漠中風(fēng)多雨少，rain一詞為不可數(shù)名詞，其復(fù)數(shù)形式rains表示雨水多，故應(yīng)選rain。

　　3. D。這里講沙漠中的一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)雨水，并不能滿足大多數(shù)植物生長(zhǎng)的需要，故選擇enough。

　　4. A。see sb. do sth.意為“看見某人做某事”，這里應(yīng)用省去to 的動(dòng)詞不定式。

　　5. D。沙漠之所以出現(xiàn)綠洲的根本原因是有了水，故選water。

　　6. C。call 在這里意為“將……稱為……”為正確選項(xiàng)。

　　7. B。every, a和one 后面都應(yīng)該接可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)，不能放在kinds 前面。all kinds of 意為“各種各樣的”。

　　8. A。表示“也”時(shí)，too 一般放在肯定句末，either放在否定句末，also 放在句中，在此為正確選項(xiàng)，而still 不合題意。

　　9. C。固定說(shuō)法depend on意為“依靠”、“憑借”。

　　10. C。一些動(dòng)物能在沙漠中生存下來(lái)，說(shuō)明了他們適應(yīng)了這里雨水稀少的氣候，不像其他動(dòng)物那樣需要太多的水，故選擇much。

　　11. D。通讀本段不難發(fā)現(xiàn)，本段承上文接著講述動(dòng)物的用途，故選animals。

　　12. B。固定說(shuō)法look for 意思為“尋找”。

　　13. D。other 后接可數(shù)名詞時(shí)應(yīng)用復(fù)數(shù)形式；the other 后接可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)時(shí)表示兩者中的另一個(gè)，不合文意。

　　14. C。根據(jù)下文沙漠里的人從不會(huì)拒絕幫助別人，說(shuō)明他們彼此友好。
