He answered all the questions except for the last one.For a year the dam remained complete but for the generators.从意思上，逻辑上，都应当选but。5.【答案】D【解析】根据后面的over and over again,应选“repeat”6.【答案】C【解析】小孩想去动物园,便不停地发出尖叫声,故选“voice”。A shrill voice与scream的意思接近。volume(音量)；noise(噪音)；pitch(音调)均不合要求。7.【答案】B【解析】shut sb.up是指让某人住口，为了让孩子停止尖叫，只好带他去动物园。8.【答案】A【解析】根据后面主句的时态，此处只能用一般过去时。9.【答案】C【解析】a great many后直接跟可数名词的复数形式；a great / large amount of后跟不可数名词；只有a great /large number of后可以跟可数名词的复数形式。例如:I read a great many English books. A large amount of money is spent on tobacco every year. A great number of civilians were murdered in cold blood.10.【答案】D【解析】living后必须接介词in，意为“居住”；cultivating耕种；reclaiming开垦；只有exploring有探察的意思。11.【答案】C【解析】add to相当于increase，增加。其余选项后面都不接to。12.【答案】A【解析】later on为固定短语，“后来”。13.【答案】D【解析】attendant仆人；keeper可理解为“饲养员”，但是a student keeper容易被误解为“收留学生的人”；aide有“助手”之义。作者一边上学，一边在动物园里打工，只能当助手。14.【答案】D【解析】which在此引导定语从句，修饰前面列出的动物。15.【答案】D【解析】因为钱是在动物园打工挣的，选successfully更能体现其含义。16.【答案】D【解析】finance my first trip意为“支付我的旅行费用”；pay后应接介词for；其他选项的意思相差甚远。17.【答案】B【解析】此句为现在完成进行时态,选regularly比较贴切。18.【答案】D【解析】此句是由though引导的让步状语从句，应与主句意思相对立。选项中，sorrows和disappointments与主句的appeal to相对立，但sorrows的分量太重。 19.【答案】C【解析】appeal to为成语，意思是“吸引”。20.【答案】B【解析】excursion短途旅行；journey(从一地到另一地的)长距离，具体的旅途；travel旅行，旅游，海外旅行；trip旅行，远足第二篇 Generally speaking, a British is widely regarded as a quiet, shy and conservative person who is _1_ only among those with whom he is acquainted. When a stranger is at present, he often seems nervous, _2_ embarrassed. You have to take a commuter train any morning or evening to _3_ the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or dozing in a corner; hardly anybody talks, since to do so would be considered quite offensive. _4_, there is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior which, _5_ broken, makes the offender immediately the object of _6_. It has been known as a fact that the a British has a _7_ for the discussion of their weather and that, if given a chance, he will talk about it _8_.

This may be so. _11_ a British cannot have much _12_ in the weathermen, who, after promising fine, sunny weather for the following day, are often proved wrong _13_ a cloud over the Atlantic brings rainy weather to all districts! The man in the street seems to be as accurate-or as inaccurate-as the weathermen in his _14_.Foreigners may be surprised at the number of references _15_ weather that the British make to each other in the course of a single day. Very often conversational greetings are _16_ by comments on the weather. Nice day, isnt it? Beautiful! may well be heard instead of Good morning, how are you? _17_ the foreigner may consider this exaggerated and comic, it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used to his advantage. _18_ he wants to start a conversation with a British but is _19_ to knowswheresto begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather.

Not far from the _82_ new “superhighways”, there are often older, _83_ heavily traveled roads which go through the countryside. _84_ of these are good two-lane (双车道) roads; others are uneven roads _85_ through the country. These secondary routes may go up steep slopes, along high _86_, or down frightening hillsides to towns _87_ in deep valleys.

When a policeman asked him, a man of _69_, to read the number plate of a car parked on the _72_ side of the road, the man said this was _73_, because it was foggy. In fact, it was a sunny day, _74_ several attempts, get from _75_ distance of two metres, the man _76_ failed to read the number plate _77_.

Geographers (地理学家) compare and contrast _71_ places on the earth. But they also _72_ beyond the individual places and consider the earth as a _73_ The word geography _74_ from two Greek words, ge, the Greek word for “earth” and graphein, _75_ means “to write.” The English word geography means “to describe the earth.” _76_ geography books focus on a small area _77_ a town or city. Others deal with a state, a region, a nation, or an _78_ continent. Many geography books deal with the whole earth. Another _79_ to divide the study of _80_ is to distinguish between physical geography and cultural geography. The former focuses on the natural world; the _81_ starts with human beings and _82_ how human beings and their environment act _83_ each other. But when geography is considered as a single subject, _84_ branch can neglect the other. A geographer might be described _85_ one who observes, records, and explains the _86_ between places. If all places _87_ alike, there would be little need for geographers. We know, however, _88_ no two places are exactly the same.

We have no proof _76_ any of these well-known conversations _77_ took place, but we are prepared to _78_ that they did, and, if so, that the _79_ was the same one Einstein gave, _80_ this is the “way scientists work _81_ science progresses.”Scientists usually work toward models of the process of structure they are studying. _82_ we have models of the structure _83_ the universe and of the atom, models of the process _84_ which the genetic (遗传的) pattern is passed from one building block of life to _85_ models of the economic system and _86_ on. Some models are mathematical, but a _87_ does not have to have equation
