答案:A;D;A;A;C;B;A;D;D;C;A;B;D;A;A
解析:

  1.英國(guó)的面積是50335平方公里,與美國(guó)紐約相比稍大一點(diǎn).

  2.上文已說過英國(guó)面積并不大,故用small比較合適.

  3.肯定指居住在英國(guó)的人口.

  4.英國(guó)被分成兩個(gè)地區(qū).divided into意為“被分成”,broken into意為“被人闖進(jìn)”,separated into意為“被分離”.

  5.上文已有說明.

  6.此題后面有介詞from構(gòu)成的短語(yǔ),據(jù)此可以推斷出答案.drawn引導(dǎo)的是過去分詞短語(yǔ)在句中作定語(yǔ)修飾line

  7lies在此是表示“位于”的意思,可以換成is

  8.此題應(yīng)指的是上文提到的“an imaginary line”.

  9.四個(gè)選項(xiàng)語(yǔ)法上都對(duì),但從下文可以看出指的是“河流”.

  10.原因是英國(guó)面積很小,所以河流都不長(zhǎng).其他從屬連詞無法表達(dá)出這種因果關(guān)系.

  11so在此是副詞,表示程度.

  12.很清楚作者說的是英國(guó)沒有一條又長(zhǎng)又寬的河流.

  13.在否定句中,用來連接兩個(gè)并列的名詞時(shí),應(yīng)該用or

  14the Thames位于英格蘭境內(nèi),這是常識(shí).

  15.河流流經(jīng)某地應(yīng)用through,而across強(qiáng)調(diào)從表面經(jīng)過.

Geoffrey Moorhouse's Travel Plan

  Geoffrey Moorhouse was flying home to England from Africa in 1971, when he looked __1__ the plane and suddenly thought how huge and __2__ the Sahara Desert was. There and then, he decided to __3__ it by himself by camel.

  For many __4__ men had crossed the Desert from the __5__ and south to trade. But there had been __6__ point in crossing from __7__ to east. So no one had done it __8__ 1963, when twelve Belgians drove across. If he went __9__, by camel, it would be __10__. Moorhouse did not __11__ to go just for fun. But what other __12__ was there? Immediately he knew. He would go because he was afraid. “I would use this journey to __13__ for fear.”

  A year passed __14__ he was free to begin his __15__. He was forty. He had never __16__ a camel. He spoke no Arabic. And he did not know how to __17__ himself by the stars. His friends thought he would soon __18__ such an impossible plan.

  He did not. To take advantage of(利用)the desert winter, he decided to __19__ England early in October 1972. He had six months to get __20__. He began learning Arabic-school lessons in the __21__, and listening to __22__ at home in the afternoon. He made a lot of visits to the London Zoo to learn about camels. At night, he studied the __23__. Maps and compass(指南針)are not enough in the desert. You must know __24__ where you are, and for that you must be able to “read” the stars with a sextant(六分儀).

  Moorhouse planned to begin his __25__ from the Atlantic coast of Africa, and ride through Mauritania, Mali, Algeria and Libya into Egypt, where he hoped to reach the River Nile.
