Question

17．Tristan da Cunha，a 38-square-mile island，is the（61）farthest（far）inhabited island in the world，according to the Guinness Book of Records．It is 1，510 miles southwest of （62）its（it）nearest neighbor，St．Helena，and 1，950 miles west of Africa．Discovered by the Portuguese admiral （葡萄牙海軍將）of the same name in 1506，the island belongs to Great Britain and has（63）a population of a few hundred．
Coming in a close second-and often（64）wrongly（wrong）mentioned as the most distant land-is Easter Island，（65）whichlies 1，260 miles east of its nearest neighbor，Pitcaim Island，and 2，300 miles west of South America．
The mountainous 64-square-mile island（66）were settled（settle）around the 5th century，supposedly （據(jù)說） by people who were lost at sea．They had no（67）connection（connect）with the outside world for more than a thousand years，giving them plenty of time（68）to build（build）more than 1，000 huge stone figures，（69）called（call）moai，for which the island is most famous．
On Easter Sunday，1722，however，settlers from Holland moved in and gave the island its name．Today，2，000 people live on the Chilean territory （智利領(lǐng)土）？They share one street，a small airport，（70）and a few hours of television per day．

Answer 1

分析 短文介紹了Tristan da Cunha島嶼的一些情況．

解答 61．farthest 考查形容詞最高級．根據(jù)句意可知iTristan da Cunha是世界上最遠的sland in the world，故使用最高級．
62．its 考查代詞．此處是指Tristan da Cunha最近的鄰居St．Helena，故使用its．
63．a(chǎn) 考查冠詞．此處是固定短語，a population of…的人口．
64．wrongly 考查副詞．根據(jù)句意可知，修飾動詞mention需用副詞形式，即wrongly．
65．which 考查連接詞．分析句式，此處是一葛非限制性定語從句，缺少主語，先行詞是Easter Island，故用which．
66．were settled 考查被動語態(tài)．根據(jù)句意，mountainous和settle之間是被動關(guān)系，故使用被動語態(tài)．
67．connection 考查名詞，固定短語，have connections with與…有關(guān)系．
68．to build 考查動詞不定式．此處是固定短語，give sb time to do sth，給某人時間做某事．
69．called 考查非謂語．call和 stone figures之間是被動關(guān)系，故使用過去分詞．
70．a(chǎn)nd考查連接詞．one street，a small airport和a few hours of television 是并列關(guān)系．

點評 題目涉及多道細節(jié)理解題，做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進行仔細分析，推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案，切忌胡亂猜測，一定要做到有理有據(jù)．
