11.The Sunken City
Egypt is famous for its giant pyramids rising in the desert,but some of the nation's treasures from the past are hidden underwater.It is on the ocean floor near Egypt's northern coast (33)that a long-lost city of more than 2,700years old lies.Now researchers are bringing its remains to the surface to share the sunken civilization with the world.
Clues to the Past
Some ancient texts describes a city called Heracleion,(34)which was located at the mouth of the Nile River and disappeared beneath the waves 1,200years ago.But for centuries,no one knew for sure if such (35)an unbelievable city ever really existed.Then in 2000,Scientist Frank Goddio and his team discovered the ruins of the city.Since then,to uncover the city,they have been busy removing layers of sand,which had kept many of its treasure well (36)preserved(preserve).They've uncovered gold coins,jewelry,giant statues,ships and a sign.These items provide clues to help find out (37)what life was like in Heracleion.
Secret of the Deep
But so far,the sinking of this city remains a mystery.Goddio isn't sure how the city sank.He thinks that earthquakes or tidal waves (38)might have caused it to fall into the sea."Stories from long ago tell of other cities in this area disappearing because of either or (39)both of those things,"explains Goddio.
With many of Heracleion's treasures still buried under the sea,it may be many years before all its secrets (40)are revealed(reveal)."We've barely scratched the surface with this city."another scientist Robinson says.

分析 本文是一篇记叙文,该篇文章讲述了埃及背部沿海地区的失落的城市Heracleion(希拉克莱奥),沉睡在水下数百年,以及一些科学家对于其沉入水中的猜测.Heracleion曾经一度也是盛极一时的城市,但在1200年前被大海淹没之后,就一直沉睡在地中海里.几个世纪里,探索家们一直在找寻它的足迹,但都未果.直到2001年一支法国的海洋考古学家在这里发现了一些遗迹之后便打开了Heracleion的神秘大门.在这些被发现的遗迹中,有很多塑像,包括埃及丰饶女神伊希斯、古埃及人最崇拜的哈皮神、一位身份不明的埃及法老和数百个埃及众神.随后,考古学家又发现了许多古代船和大量金币、青铜和石头等,到目前为止,这座城市的沉睡水中仍然是个谜,有考古学家认为地震和潮水可能导致沉入水中,至今仍然还有很多财宝被深埋水中,也许要花上很多年这些秘密才得以显现.

解答 33.that   考查连词.首先句子是"it is"开头,首先考虑是强调句型"It is+强调部分+that从句",把"it、is和that"三个词去掉之后,在语法上、逻辑上都成立,从而判断该句是强调句型,故填that.
 
34.which  考查关系代词.该句中有两个部分的谓语动词"describes,was located and disappeared"(如果在一句话中并列连词连接的两个谓语我们一般将其记为一个谓语个数,因为本身and作为连词可以连接多个谓语动词),所以该句缺少连接两个谓语的引导词,根据从句特点和上下文,该从句是修饰前文这个地名的非限制性定语从句,从句中缺主语,故用which.
‘"
35.an    考查冠词.该空在"such"之后,一般"such"之后填名词,而空后有一个名词中心词"city",并且是单数,故such+单数名词,需要用不定冠词,根据语音发音规律,用an.
 
36.preserved   考查过去分词.该空给出动词,需要判断谓语还是非谓语,找出该句中谓语have been,had kept两个,有一个连接词which,故不缺谓语,则该空填非谓语,由于和treasure和preserve关系成被动关系,故用过去分词preserved.
 
37.what      考查连接代词.该空未给词,句子中谓语动词有"provide,was"两个,故缺乏一个连接词,那么根据从句位置分析判断为名词性从句,作为"to find out"的宾语,此外,从句缺宾语,故用代词性连接词,根据句子意思为"what life was like in Heracleion",故填what.
38.might     考查情态动词.谓语动词个数和连接词个数匹配,而空后面是"have caused"原形,故该空用情态动词,表示对过去发生的事一种不确定,可能的推测一般用might have done,表示"或许…";"may have done,may have done"亦可以用于推测,含义是"或许已经,可能已经"但是确定性强于"might have done",因为是要强调对过去事情的推测,故"might have done"更好一些,类似我们常用"couldn't have done"表推测"过去一定没有…",可以有can't have done但却很少用.故填might.

 39.both   考查代词.联系上下文,or这个连接词连接的是并列结构,or左边是either,右边设空,故两侧应该是平行结构,空内也应该是代词(因为不能填名词),根据上文讨论引发这种现象原因有地震和潮水两类,所以这里可以理解为是其中一种又或者两方面原因都有,故both;"tell of"固定短语,表示讲述.
 
40.are revealed   考查被动语态.给出reveal动词,考虑谓语还是非谓语,由于句子只有一个谓语may be,还有一个连接词before,所以该空应该填谓语结构来符合谓语和连接词个数,从句主语是"all its secrets"和"reveal"应该是被动,并且根据上下文讲述的是未来要发生的事情,从句可以使用一般现在时表示将来含义,所以一般现在时被动语态,故are revealed.

点评 解答此类题目应先浏览全文,概括大意,再根据句子间的提示以及括号内的汉语提示或首字母提示,依据语法规则和行为逻辑来推测并填写合适的词语.

6.Along the river banks of the Amazon and the Orinoco there lives a bird that swims before it can fly,flies like a fat chicken,eats green leaves,has the stomach of a cow and has claws (爪) on its wings when young.They build their homes about 4.6m above the river,an important feature (特征) for the safety of the young.It is called the hoatzin.
  In appearance,the birds of both sexes look very much alike with brown on the back and cream and red on the underside.The head is small,with a large set of feathers on the top,bright red eyes,and blue skin.Its nearest relatives are the common birds,cuckoos.Its most striking feature,though,is only found in the young.
   Baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each wing and another at the end of each wing tip.Using these four claws,together with the beak (喙),they can climb about in the bushes,looking very much like primitive birds must have done.When the young hoatzins have learned to fly,they lose their claws.
   During the drier months between December and March hoatzins fly about the forest in groups of 20 to 30 birds,but in April,when the rainy season begins,they collect together in smaller living units of two to seven birds for producing purposes.
