In a telephone survey of more than 2,000 adults, 21% said they believed the sun revolved (旋轉(zhuǎn))around the earth. An 1 7% did not know which revolved around 2 . I have no doubt that 3 all of these people were 4 in school that the earth revolves around the sun; 5 may even have written it 6 at test. But they never 7 their incorrect mental models of planetary (行星的) 8 because their every day observations didn’t support 9 their teachers told them: People see the sun moving 10 the sky as morning turns to night, and the earth seems stationary (靜止的) 11 that is happening.

1.C四個答案都有“額外”的意思,但各有偏重。A重在表達(dá)“過量、超過正常的部分”;B是“在一類事物之外的額外部分”;D是“外加的”。因此只有C答案符合本題要求:“另外有7%的人不知道是誰繞著誰轉(zhuǎn)�！�

2.B如上題所述,句中已有which,要表達(dá)“不知誰繞著誰轉(zhuǎn)”的意思,只能選B。

3.A本題考詞匯。virtually:實(shí)際上地;remarkably:很明顯地;ideally:理想地;preferably:更適宜地。從句意來看,只能選A。

4.C本句意:“實(shí)際上,這些人在學(xué)校都學(xué)過地球繞著太陽轉(zhuǎn)的�！北揪渲^語用的是被動語態(tài),故答案為C。

5.D本題考代詞。承接上句,此處應(yīng)為直接代替上句中所提到的人們,所以用they。

6.A此題考查固定搭配write on(記下,寫下)。

7.B 由句中incorrect mental models一處可獲得提示,“不正確的模型應(yīng)該得到更正”,因此,此題選B答案。form:形成;believe:相信;think:認(rèn)為。

8.C此句句意為:“但他們不肯改變腦海里錯誤的行星運(yùn)動模式�！睋�(jù)意義判斷,只有motion符合句意。選項中position和location都是表示靜止位置的詞,而行星是在不斷運(yùn)動中的,因此不能選。

9.D此題為意義和語法結(jié)合題。語法上,本題缺少的是賓語從句的引導(dǎo)詞,在從句中作賓語,并具有自己的意義。因此,只有D的what才符合題意。

10.B本題缺少一個介詞,本句意為:“人們看到太陽越過天際,因此有了日夜更替�！蹦芎吞炜沾钆�,并體現(xiàn)運(yùn)動感的介詞只有B答案:across。

11.C本題考連詞。句意為:“當(dāng)這一切發(fā)生的時候,地球仿佛是靜止的�！币虼藨�(yīng)選C: while。
