答案及解析:
1. D 空格前為形容詞daily,空格后為連詞and和an amount,分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,此處應(yīng)填入一個(gè)名詞。原文提到,俄羅斯和美國(guó)宇航員被要求減少攝取飲食中的熱量,被減少的熱量相當(dāng)于三杯可樂的熱量,大約減少了他們?nèi)粘5?0%,顯然破折號(hào)前面的daily diet和此處的daily 表達(dá)相同的含義,結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可知daily allowance最合適,意為“每日供給量”。
2. C 空格前為have,空格后為blamed,判斷此處應(yīng)該填一個(gè)副詞。選項(xiàng)中可以修飾blame的只有severely “嚴(yán)厲地”。
3. A 空格前為不定冠詞a,判斷此處應(yīng)該填一個(gè)名詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,a of meat and milk和a surplus of juice and confectionery為并列結(jié)構(gòu),故此處應(yīng)填一個(gè)和surplus相對(duì)或者相近的名詞,結(jié)合選項(xiàng),此處可填入 deficit,意為“不足”。
4. L 空格前出現(xiàn)了系動(dòng)詞is,空格后為for the crew,此處要表達(dá)下一階段的12月24日的發(fā)射對(duì)自從10月份就駐扎在太空軌道中的宇航員們來說是…,結(jié)合選項(xiàng)中給出的形容詞,只有vital合適,意為“重要的'”。
5. J 空格前為不定式符號(hào)to,后為介詞with,分析此處應(yīng)填入動(dòng)詞原形,且與with構(gòu)成搭配。根據(jù)上下文語境:在12月21日,它將和國(guó)際空間站…,動(dòng)詞選項(xiàng)中只有dock符合文意,dock with為固定結(jié)構(gòu),意為“與 對(duì)接”。
6. O 空格前為動(dòng)詞,空格后為名詞,分析此處應(yīng)填一個(gè)形容詞,來修飾空格后的名詞。此處指出,如果他們沒有收到供給,宇航員就不得不返回地球,結(jié)合選項(xiàng)中的形容詞,此處填入fresh符合句意,fresh supplies意為 “新鮮供應(yīng)”,也指“新增補(bǔ)給”。
7. G 空格前為have to,空格后為the station,分析此處應(yīng)填一個(gè)動(dòng)詞原形。此處語境為:但如果他們沒有收到新鮮的供給,宇航員就不得不…空間站并返回到位于地球的聯(lián)盟號(hào)宇宙飛船中;氐降厍,肯定就要“離開”空間 站,選項(xiàng)中只有表示“離開,撤離”。
8. F 空格前為形容詞性物主代詞its(指美國(guó)的),空后為名詞fleet,顯然its fleet要表達(dá)的是“美國(guó)的 艦隊(duì)”。此處語境為:自哥倫比亞號(hào)失事后,美國(guó)停飛了它的……,而這兩年的時(shí)間里俄羅斯一直是國(guó)際空間站的唯一的生命線。此處顯然要填表示“飛機(jī);飛船” 的單詞,shuttle fleet意為“航天飛機(jī)”,為固定搭配,符合句意。
9. B 空格前有助動(dòng)詞has,空格后為介詞of,判斷空處應(yīng)填一個(gè)動(dòng)詞的過去分詞,且可與of搭配。此處要表達(dá):俄羅斯經(jīng)!(dú)自維持國(guó)際空間站運(yùn)營(yíng)的財(cái)政困難,結(jié)合選項(xiàng),俄羅斯顯然是在“抱怨”,complain of...意 為“抱怨……”,符合句意。
10. K空格前為情態(tài)動(dòng)詞could,空格后為in May,判斷此處應(yīng)填一個(gè)不及物動(dòng)詞。此句意為“官員說道,航天飛機(jī)會(huì)在五月…,但同時(shí),俄羅斯會(huì)繼續(xù)發(fā)射載人和載物飛船!苯Y(jié)合選項(xiàng)只有resume符合文意,意為“重新開始 (飛行)”
