参考答案:
51 B 百幕大三角区是海洋中最大的谜团之一。0f表示所属关系,是合适的选择。
52 D 这里需要填入一个动词,这就排斥了A和c.look不跟动词不定式,因此只有seem是正确的。
53 c rest和others都不能放在名词前,another·跟单数名词。因此只有other是正确的选择。
54 A 这个句子表达的是否定的意思,即“这些船没有留下……便失踪了”,所以只能选择without这个介词。
55 c 表示“据说”用“It is said…”。整个句子说的是:据说,Christopher Columbus 是记录这一海域怪现象的第一人。
56 A 表示具体的一天前面用On.又如:He was born on May 4,1980.他生于1980年5月4日。from和since表示“从那一天起”。
57 D 表示飞机起飞的动词组是take off.
58 c 动词blame可以跟for,也可以跟on搭配。试比较: They blame him for the Fire.They blame the fire on him.他们把火灾归罪于他。根据位置,此处应用on.
59 A 注意:miss和massing是两个不同的词。miss是“想念”,“错过”的意思。missing是“失踪”的意思。显然,此处应用missing.
60 B 前面的either一是很好的提示,告诉我们应用or.either or表示“或是…… 或是……”。
61 A 倒数第二段讲的是其他的解释。因此用also.no是否定词。barely和hardly是具有否定意义的副词。
62 c 这里需要一个引导定语从句的词,由于先行词是t)laces,所以应用where.
63 A这里要表示的是“(不是)……而是……”的意思,所以应用._3stead of.
64 D 这里需要一个表示因果关系的词。在四个选项中只有therefore表示因果关系。
65 B to be known for是“因……而出名”,to be known as是“作为……而著称”。又如:He is known for his hum or他以幽默出名。He is known as a humorist.大家都知道他是幽默大师。
