Answer 1

l.A  由于“it looks very beautiful when the sun is shining”這一情況是眾所周知的，所以用動詞know比較合理。

2. C  句意：我們知道當(dāng)太陽照耀在海洋上時，它看上去很美麗。由句意可知，空后的it指代sea,太陽應(yīng)該是照射在大海的表面上，所以C項正確。

3. B  句意:關(guān)于海洋你還知道其他的事情嗎？another指多者之中的一個；the other特指兩者中的另一個；others指其他的人或物，起代詞作用。other則是形容詞，意為“其他的”，其后加名詞單數(shù)或復(fù)數(shù)均可，故B項正確。

4. D  句意:看看世界地圖。look at為固定詞組，意為“看”。

5. C  句意:海洋要比陸地多。根據(jù)地理常識可以知道，地球上海洋的面積比陸地的面積要大得多，故C項正確。

6. B  句意:海洋的面積占地球表面的四分之三。根據(jù)語境和常識可以得知，B項正確。

7. A  根據(jù)Some parts可知，系動詞be應(yīng)用復(fù)數(shù)形式，整篇文章的主要時態(tài)是一般現(xiàn)在時，所以A項正確。

8. D  句意:世界上最高的山脈大約9.000米高。由句意可知選D。

9. B   由上文 “ It is nearly 11 kilometers deep. ” 和 “ The highest mountain in the world is about 9 kilometers high."可以推測出 B 項正確。

10. C  該句中含有so...that...結(jié)構(gòu)，意為“如此……以至于……”。
