【1】in cash

【7】a widely accepted theory

考查名詞與過去分詞。句意：沒有人確切地知道地球是如何開始的，因為它發(fā)生在很久以前。然而，根據(jù)一個廣為接受的理論，宇宙開始于一個“大爆炸”，它將物質(zhì)拋向四面八方。 a widely accepted theory（一個廣為接受的理論），其中過去分詞accepted作定語，修飾名詞theory，與之是被動關(guān)系，故填a widely accepted theory.

【8】a solid globe

考查名詞。句意：在“大爆炸”之后的幾十億年里，地球還是一片塵埃。直到4.5年到38億年前，塵埃落定成一個堅實的世界時，它才確定下來。名詞詞組a solid globe（一個固體球）作介詞into的賓語，故填a solid globe.
