2、 space available; it must (29) be kept in a closed container, as (30) a planets atmosphere. The distinction was a prominent feature of early theories (31) the phases of matter. In the nineteenth century, for example, one theory maintained that a liquid could be dissolved in a vapor without losing it

3、s identity, and another theory held that the two phases are( 32 )different kinds o f molecules(分子). The theories now prevailing (33) a quit e different approach by emphasizing what liquids and gases have in common. They are both forms of matter that have no permanent structure and they both flow ea

4、silly. They are fluids. The( 34 )similarly of liquids and gases becomes clearly apparent when the temperature and pressure are raised somewhat.(35) A closed container partially filled with a liquid is heated. The liquid expands or (36) becomes less dense; some of it evaporates. (37), the vapor above

5、 the liquid surface becomes dense r as the evaporated molecules are added to it. The combination of temperature and d pressure (38) the densities become equal is (39) the critical point.

9、：B【試題分析】本題考查對(duì)固定搭配的掌握?！驹敿?xì)解答】under與condition搭配，表示“在條件或狀況下”；on與 condition搭配，表示“在條件下”；in與condition構(gòu)成習(xí)慣短語(yǔ)，表示“身體狀況良好”，而be out of condition”則表示“身體狀況不好”。 這里是說(shuō)“在地球表面通常的溫度和壓強(qiáng)條件下”，故選項(xiàng)B為正確答案。27答案：A【試題分析】本題為語(yǔ)法題，考查對(duì)句子結(jié)構(gòu)的理解?！驹敿?xì)解答】由于所填詞前有and這一并列連詞，這里缺少一個(gè)謂語(yǔ)與前面的“can be”并列。謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞fill意思是“使充滿”，具有使動(dòng)意義，其后直接跟賓語(yǔ)，故選項(xiàng)A是正確答案。28答

10、案：B【試題分析】本題為動(dòng)詞詞義辨析題?！驹敿?xì)解答】 intend意為“打算，意圖”，主語(yǔ)通常是人；tend意為“有傾向”，后接不定式，主語(yǔ)可以是人也可以是物；incline意為“使(某人)傾向于，使(某人)有意思(做某事)”，常用于被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)be inclined to；contend意為“爭(zhēng)奪；爭(zhēng)辯”。這里是說(shuō)“但（氣體）往往會(huì)擴(kuò)散到任何可能的空間”，故選項(xiàng)B為正確答案。29答案：D【試題分析】本題為語(yǔ)法題，考查連詞的用法?！驹敿?xì)解答】however表轉(zhuǎn)折意為“然而”；nevertheless也表轉(zhuǎn)折，意為“然而”；so表結(jié)果，但常放于句首; therefore表結(jié)果，意為“因此，所以”。這

11、里是說(shuō)氣體容易擴(kuò)散，所以必須保存在密閉的容器里。因此此處需要一個(gè)表結(jié)果關(guān)系的連詞，故選項(xiàng)D為正確答案。30答案：B【試題分析】本題考查對(duì)固定搭配的掌握?！驹敿?xì)解答】in the event of表示“如果發(fā)生，萬(wàn)一”；in the case of表示“在的情況下，就而言”; with a view of或者with a view to，意思是“以為目的；為起見(jiàn)”；with reference to意思是“關(guān)于”。根據(jù)上下文，這里是說(shuō)“必須將氣體存放在一個(gè)密封的容器里，如同一顆行星的大氣一樣。” 故選項(xiàng)B為正確答案。31答案：C【試題分析】本題為語(yǔ)法題，考查對(duì)非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的掌握?！驹敿?xì)解答】本句中

12、的describe的邏輯主語(yǔ)為theories，故應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在分詞。同時(shí)，describe這一動(dòng)作只說(shuō)明一種事實(shí)，并不與其他動(dòng)詞作時(shí)間上的先后比較，不必用完成式。故選項(xiàng)C為正確答案。32答案：A【試題分析】本題為短語(yǔ)詞義與用法辨析題。【詳細(xì)解答】consist of一般用主動(dòng)式; be made from一般指某種產(chǎn)品由某種材料制成(但從外表上看不出原材料); be made up of表示“由組成”。根據(jù)上下文理解，此處要求填一“由組成”的短語(yǔ)，故選項(xiàng)C為正確答案。33答案：C【試題分析】本題考查對(duì)固定搭配的掌握。【詳細(xì)解答】apply意為“應(yīng)用”；adapt意為“使適應(yīng)”；conduct意為“

13、指導(dǎo)；處理”，均不能與approach搭配。take approach為固定搭配，意思是“采用方法”，符合句意。34答案：D【試題分析】本題為形容詞詞義辨析題?！驹敿?xì)解答】 elementary意為“初步的，基本的”，指事物處于基礎(chǔ)的或開(kāi)始的階段；crucial意為“極緊要的，決定性的”；rudimentary意為“基本的，初步的”；fundamental意為“基礎(chǔ)的，十分重要的”。文中說(shuō)“液體與氣體之間的根本相似性在溫度和壓強(qiáng)有所提高時(shí)變得十分明顯。”故選項(xiàng)D最合題意。35答案：A【試題分析】本題為語(yǔ)法題，考查動(dòng)詞的特殊用法。【詳細(xì)解答】suppose后常接一個(gè)省略了that的賓語(yǔ)從句，表示

14、“假定，假設(shè)”，用來(lái)展開(kāi)說(shuō)明。36答案：C【試題分析】本題考查關(guān)聯(lián)詞的用法?！驹敿?xì)解答】in a word表示對(duì)上文的總結(jié)；in the mean time表示“同時(shí)”；in that case表示“在那種情況下”；in other words意為“換句話說(shuō)”。上文的“expands”和后文“becomes less dense”的意思一致，后一句是為了解釋說(shuō)明前一句，故用in other words。37答案：B【試題分析】本題考查語(yǔ)篇分析能力?！驹敿?xì)解答】 similarly意為“同樣的”；furthermore意為“而且”，表示更進(jìn)一步的關(guān)系；instead意為“相反，反而”，表對(duì)比關(guān)系

15、，一般針對(duì)相同人、事情或行為。上文說(shuō)當(dāng)加熱的時(shí)候，液體蒸發(fā)變得稀薄，而下文說(shuō)氣體因?yàn)檎羝肿拥募尤攵兊贸砻?，因此兩句之間存在明顯對(duì)比關(guān)系，只有in contrast最合題意。38答案：D【試題分析】本題考查關(guān)系詞的用法。【詳細(xì)解答】本句子意為“使液體和氣體密度相同的那個(gè)狀態(tài)下的溫度和壓力被稱作臨界點(diǎn)。”句中的“temperature and pressure”是先行詞，需要一個(gè)關(guān)系詞引導(dǎo)一個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句修飾先行詞。特定數(shù)值的temperature和pressure與at搭配意為“在某個(gè)溫度和壓力下”。由于that引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句時(shí)前面不能有介詞，所以正確答案是D。39答案：C【試題分析】本題為動(dòng)詞詞

16、義及用法辨析題。【詳細(xì)解答】known的常用結(jié)構(gòu)是be known to be或be known as；defined 常用結(jié)構(gòu)是be defined as；refer to意為“提到，說(shuō)起”，不用于被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)；只有called后可直接接主語(yǔ)補(bǔ)語(yǔ)。40答案：D【試題分析】本題為動(dòng)詞詞義及用法辨析題。【詳細(xì)解答】classify指對(duì)某種對(duì)象進(jìn)行“分類”；category指將某類事物“歸類”；recognise表示“識(shí)別”；distinguish表示“區(qū)分”。根據(jù)句意，“在臨界點(diǎn)之上時(shí)，氣體和液體就很難再區(qū)分開(kāi)來(lái)”，選項(xiàng)D為正確答案。2001The translator must have an e
