　　本文闡述了我們在學(xué)校不僅僅要學(xué)好各門功課，更重要的是要學(xué)會如何去學(xué)習(xí)。有了好的學(xué)習(xí)方法，我們在離開學(xué)校時才能去自學(xué)更多的知識，解決人生道路上的各個疑難。

　　答案簡析

　　1．Ｂ。強調(diào)說話的內(nèi)容只能用say。

　　2．Ｃ。other subjects指“別的一些功課”，而the other subjects指“別的所有的功課”。根據(jù)文意，應(yīng)選擇后者。

　　3．Ａ。很顯然，上文提到的內(nèi)容也是學(xué)習(xí)的目的之一，完全正確，故選擇true。

　　4．Ｃ。該句起引起下文的作用，而下文主要解釋為什么要學(xué)習(xí)，故選擇why。

　　5．Ｄ。prepare sb for sth是固定搭配，意思是“使某人為某事作好準(zhǔn)備”。

　　6．Ｂ。in one’s life是一個常用短語，意思是“在某人的一生中”。

　　7．Ｂ。上文提到在學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)的目的之一是要多學(xué)知識，從下文可以得知這并不是唯一的目的，故選only。

　　8．Ｃ。固定搭配more than (doing) sth意思是“不僅僅……”。

　　9．Ｂ。這里應(yīng)用動詞不定式作目的狀語，故選to learn。

　　10．Ａ。賓語從句應(yīng)用陳述句語序，故排除Ｃ、Ｄ兩項。疑問詞與不定式連用可代替從句在句中作賓語，根據(jù)句子意思，應(yīng)選A。

　　11．Ｂ。形容詞修飾不定代詞應(yīng)后置，故排除Ｃ、Ｄ兩項。根據(jù)句子意思，應(yīng)選B。

　　12．Ｄ。on the other hand是一個常用短語，意思是“在另一方面”。

　　13．Ｂ。仔細分析句子，不難發(fā)現(xiàn)句中含有固定搭配either…or…意思是“要么……要么……”。

　　14．Ｄ。這里應(yīng)用動詞不定式作目的狀語，根據(jù)句子意思，應(yīng)選D。

　　15．Ｃ。該句強調(diào)了校方不僅僅要授予學(xué)生知識，還要教會學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)的方法。故選way。

　　這篇短文介紹了格陵蘭島和冰島的地理環(huán)境和氣候特征。

　　答案簡析

　　1．C。格陵蘭島位于歐洲北部。這需要有一定的地理常識，下文并無提示。

　　2．B。

　　3．A。如果你只從字面上看，認(rèn)為Greenland是綠色的，而 Iceland被許多冰所覆蓋，那么你就想錯了。根據(jù)下文可知它們的地理特征并不像它們的名字所描述的那樣。

　　4．B。There must be more people…表示肯定猜測，而如果直接用There are more people則太絕對化了。

　　5．D。根據(jù)下文得知格陵蘭島大部分地區(qū)被冰所覆蓋，所以是白色的。

　　6．D。格陵蘭島的冰比世界最高的樓高。故選high的比較級 higher。

　　7．C。What about Iceland? 意為“冰島(的地理環(huán)境和氣候)又怎樣呢?”。

　　8．A。not so…as…表示“不如……”。

　　9．B。因為冰島擁有很多的溫泉，冰也沒有格陵蘭島的多，所以氣溫就沒有格陵蘭島低。

　　10．C。a lot more people相當(dāng)于much more people。意思是“冰島的人口比格陵蘭島的多得多”。

　　答案簡析

　　1. C。這是總領(lǐng)本文的一句話，就是如何能夠?qū)W的更好。另外根據(jù)and后面的more effective可知這里應(yīng)選與之并列的比較級better，而不是原級well。
