參考答案

1.19911991解析：參見文中倒數(shù)第2段：“Thesitewasfirstvisitedin1989，andscientistsobservedventorganismsthrivingthere．ButwhenAlvinreturnedtwoyearslater．．．thescientistsdubbedthesiteTubeWormBarbecue，becausethewormstheybroughtbacktotheirshiphadburnedflesh．”綜合最后一段可知：1989-flouringorganism；1991-deadtubeworms；1992-notubeworms；1993-gianttubeworms。

2.homeelectricalupgradeshomeelectricalupgrades解析：根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞reducetimetocharge定位到原文第二標(biāo)題下最后一句；All-electriccars，however，cantakewelloveradaytochargeunlessownersinvestthousandsofdollarsinhomeelectricalupgrades．可知電動車用戶要花很長時間充電，除非投資數(shù)千美元升級家庭電力設(shè)施。故答案是homeelectricalupgrades。

3.NN解析：根據(jù)題干中的信息詞DavidVaughan和shrinking定位到第一個小標(biāo)題下的最后一段，可知DavidVaughan表示，所有人都認(rèn)為南極因氣候變化而融化變小，但事實遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)要復(fù)雜得多，故該句表述錯誤。

4.menonlymenonly解析：由“ThePronounProblem”部分第三段第二句“Studieshaveconfirmedthatmostpeopleunderstand‘he’torefertomenonly．”可見人們看到代詞“he”想到的只是男性。故此題答案為“menonly”。

5.crystalreinforcement

6.scholarsscientistsandartistsscholars，scientists，andartists解析：空白處應(yīng)為名詞(詞組)。原文該段末尾的whorepresentitshighculturaltraditions中的who指的是末句開頭提到的ManyofthemostoutstandingChineseAmericanscholars，scientists，andartists，題目將段末的定語從句改寫為被動語態(tài)，所以who所指的內(nèi)容就是本題答案，即scholars，scientistsandartists。

7.theirfoundationtheirfoundati
