名師點(diǎn)評

答案解析在下一頁

1. B�？瞻撞糠謨删錁�(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故選擇并列連詞but。

2. B。沙漠中風(fēng)多雨少，rain一詞為不可數(shù)名詞，其復(fù)數(shù)形式rains表示雨水多，故應(yīng)選rain。

3. D。這里講沙漠中的一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)雨水，并不能滿足大多數(shù)植物生長的需要，故選擇enough。

4. A。see sb. do sth.意為“看見某人做某事”，這里應(yīng)用省去to 的動詞不定式。

5. D。沙漠之所以出現(xiàn)綠洲的根本原因是有了水，故選water。

6. C。call 在這里意為“將……稱為……”為正確選項(xiàng)。

7. B。every, a和one 后面都應(yīng)該接可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)，不能放在kinds 前面。all kinds of 意為“各種各樣的”。

8. A。表示“也”時，too 一般放在肯定句末，either放在否定句末，also 放在句中，在此為正確選項(xiàng)，而still 不合題意。 #p#分頁標(biāo)題#e#

9. C。固定說法depend on意為“依靠”、“憑借”。

10. C。一些動物能在沙漠中生存下來，說明了他們適應(yīng)了這里雨水稀少的氣候，不像其他動物那樣需要太多的水，故選擇much。

11. D。通讀本段不難發(fā)現(xiàn)，本段承上文接著講述動物的用途，故選animals。

12. B。固定說法look for 意思為“尋找”。

13. D。other 后接可數(shù)名詞時應(yīng)用復(fù)數(shù)形式;the other 后接可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)時表示兩者中的另一個，不合文意。

14. C。根據(jù)下文沙漠里的人從不會拒絕幫助別人，說明他們彼此友好。

15. D。固定搭配refuse to do sth.意為“拒絕干某事”。
