【剖析】
这是一篇科普类文章，要求选填的词汇都是浅显易懂的常用词，且都是《大纲》范围内的词汇。因此，学生要通读全文，了解大意。只要能够理解文章上下的内容，对短文语境中有用的信息进行分析、推敲、结合整篇，就可以确定所需词汇。值得注意的是，题目提供的词中有两组形容词、副词的同根词，这就要求我们既要明白文章的意思，还得善用所学的综合知识。  
第1题选good。依句型这里需要形容词，看全文应是 “好”。
第2题选two。文章一开始就说，我们虽然不能阻止地震，但可以采取措施减少地震对城市的破坏程度。如果那样的话，那么在地球板块与板块交界的地方建造房屋肯定不是好办法。 （这是一个跨学科的问题，世界上已经发生的地震多数发生在地球板块与板块交界的地方，科学家们称之为地震带。 由此可见，要学好英语，还要学好其他学科。）
第3题选 may。在这里表示猜测、假设，意思是“可能”。
第4题选 sand  。 “沙地”与前面的rocks 一词对应。这句话是说，如果你认为某个地方可能要发生地震，最好是将房屋建筑在地质比较坚硬的地带，而不能建在地质松的地带。 比如像沙漠这样的地带就不能建造房屋。
第5题选strong 。除地质条件外，将房屋建得strong“牢固”些，也是减轻地震灾害的一项重要措施。
第6题选stay up 。在这里是“站立、矗立”的意思，与前面的 fall down 一词相对应。
第7题选afraid。因为旧金山这个城市就建在太平洋板块与美洲大陆板块交界的地带（环太平洋地震带），所以说科学家们感到担心、害怕。
第8题选houses。科学家们之所以感到担心和害怕，是因为那里的人还在那里建造房屋，这正好与前面说的减轻地震灾害的方法相反。
第9题选now 。与前面的1906年相对比。
第10题选if 。文章最后小结提出假设：旧金山如果依旧那样的话，一旦有一天发生地震，后果将不堪设想。

    In the afternoon he got into the train again. The   9 ________  man was in the same seat. He looked at Mr Brown and his six umbrellas, “You’ve had a  10 ________ day,” he said.

1.brought  2.mended 3. forgot  4. beside  5.picked 6. stopped 7. mine 8.each 9. same 10. lucky
【剖析】
这是一篇伞店老板Mr Brown在火车上发生的故事，是叙述类文章。要求填的词汇都是《大纲》范围内的词汇，因此难度不是很大。学生应在短文语境中对有用的信息进行推敲，结合整篇文章的内容，确定所需词汇。通读全文，了解大意。再读全文，确定所需词的词义、词性和词形。
第1题需要动词，因为该句无谓语，意思是“带来”或“给”，所以选brought。
第2题需要动词，由于该句是被动语态，意思是“被修理”，选mended。
第3题为动词，由空前主语和空后的动词不定式决定，根据下文判断意思是“忘记”，选forgot。
第4题选介词。由语境决定的，意思是“在座位旁边”，选beside。
第5题选动词，意思是“拾起”，恰好是词组pick up,故事发生在过去，所以选picked。
第6题选动词，由于句子是被动语态，选stopped。
第7题选名词性物主代词，由于句子是主系表结构，意思是“我的”，选mine。
第8题选代词，由后面的of结构决定的，指“每一”或者“全部”，选词中没有提供all；所以选each 。
第9题选形容词，由于它修饰的是名词，指“相同的”，选same。
第10题选形容词，由于它修饰的是名词，指“幸运的或好的”，选lucky。

1. called 2.didn’t speak 3. and  4.idea 5. what  6.quietly  7.garden  8.heard  9.do  10. eaten

【剖析】

1．  此题选called 。 根据第一段讲的“一个农夫在河对岸看到一个老人在种什么东西”推理， 当他想问河对岸这位老人在种什么时，就得大声喊 “called out”。
2．  这题选 didn’t speak。因为从下文可知这位老人并没有立刻回答。
3．  这里需要并列连词，选 and。由上文得知老人没有急于回答，而是让他游过来，再告诉他。
4．  利用排除法，结合上下文的意思，可知此题选 idea。
5．从上下文的意思及句子结构，可知此题选 what。
6．从后面的in his ear ,可知说话的声音应该是悄悄地, 所以选 quietly。
7．从上下文可判断应是在garden里种东西。
8．从这个农夫前一句话有 shouted 一词也知后面为“听”的意思，表示听的结果应为heard。
9． 根据上下文的意思，“我不能那样做”选 do 。
10．此话表示如果我大声说话，麻雀会听到的，那么它就会来吃我的豌豆，虚拟语气，  选 eaten 。

Mrs Andrews felt 8. ________ when she heard this. “ And ,” she said, “ Our cat is very  9. ________. She almost talks. ”
The policeman was getting tired, “Well then, ” he said “ Why don’t you put your 10.________ down? Maybe she is trying to telephone you now.  ”

1.outside 2.for 3. so 4. lost 5.  anybody  6.strong  7. well  9. clever  8. happier 10. telephone 

【剖析】

1.       从上下文可看出猫在外面，因此选outside。
2.       “look for寻找”是固定搭配 ， 所以选for。
3.       从上下文判断表因果, 所以选so。
4.       从上下文判断找不到猫，所以是丢了lost。
5.       在疑问句中应用不定代词anybody  。
6.       猫是一种生命力非常强的动物，所以选strong。
7.       表示身体好当用 well 。
8.       从上下文可以知道， Mrs. Andrews  听了警察安慰她的话后，感觉好些了，所以选happier 。
9.       从后面一句的 “She almost talks”可推断出她的猫clever 。
10.   联系上下文，Mrs. Andrews在打电话，所以警察让她放下电话telephone。

tell, hear, listen to , guard, drum, much, fly , army,  with, other, way , instruction

1 heard 2. tell 3. guard  4. other  5. drum  6. more  7 . flew  8.  army  9. with  10.ways
【剖析】

1. 他“听到”马朝这边跑来的声音，故选 heard。
2. 他跑去 “告诉”他的人民，故选tell。
3. 符合上下文要求，应该是放哨的人guard。
4. “其他”国家的不特指，other。
5. 通过鼓来传递信号，drums。
6. “更何况，更不用说 much more ”是固定搭配，所以选 more。
7. 常理，鸽子应是“飞” 回来的，所以此题选flew。
8. 根据士兵应属军队，这一题选army。
9. 表示伴随，应用“带着with” 。
10.根据上文，推断这里是问，“你能想出更多的‘方法’吗？”，所以选 ways。

Light travels at a speed(速度) which is about a million times 1 . ________ than that of sound.  2. ________ one second, light travels about 300,000 kilometers, but sound travels only 340 meters.

1.faster  2.In  3. watching  4. come  5. before  6. so  7. ago  8. its 9. cannot 10. shining

【剖析】

1．  因为光的速度比声快，显然“than”之前应该用比较级，所以选faster。
2．  承接上文，这里应该用“在  内”，选。
3．  介词后应接动名词，表示观看比赛应用 watch , 所以选watching。
4．  see后跟不带to 的不等式，做宾语的补足语，即see sb. do  结构, 因此，选come 。
5．  发令枪响时，在远处观看的人，先看到的是火光和烟，紧接着听到的才是枪声。选before 。
6．  引导一个表结果的状语从句。 “如此 … … 以致于 so… that ” ，下文有that 所以这里应该用so。
7．  由上下文判断这里应选 ago。
8．  “开始… … 的旅程 on one’s journey ” 是固定搭配，选 its 。
9．  上文已告诉我们：有的星球离我们太远，它们的光线到达我们地球需要几年的时间。因而从科学的角度讲，我们不能说“今夜星光灿烂”。选 cannot 。
10根据上文可知，我们现在看到的光是几年前的发出的，应选shining。
