Questions 1-9: Europa is the smallest of planet Jupiter's four largest moons and the second moon out from Jupiter. Until 1979, it was just another astronomy textbook statistic. Then came the close-up images obtained by the exploratory spacecraft Voyager 2, and within days, Europa was transformed-in our perception, at least-into one of the solar system's (5)most intriguing(我读到这里就认为这个词有很大的嫌疑考猜词.) worlds. The biggest initial surprise was the almost total lack of detail, especially from far away. Even at close range, the only visible features are thin, kinked brown lines resembling cracks in an eggshell. (前面看不懂没关系,看到了resembling先大笑三声,大概就是cracks in an eggshell)And this analogy is not far off the mark. The surface of Europa is almost pure water ice, but a nearly complete absence of craters indicates that Europa's surface ice resembles Earth's Antarctic ice cap(再笑吧,我们现在知道surface 像Earth's Antarctic ice cap). The (10) eggshell analogy may be quite accurate since the ice could be as little as a few kilometers thick -a true shell around what is likely a subsurface liquid ocean that , in turn, encases a rocky core. The interior of Europa has been kept warm over the eons by tidal forces generated by the varying gravitational tugs of the other big moons as they wheel around Jupiter. The tides on Europa pull and relax in an endless cycle. The resulting internal heat (15) keeps what would otherwise be ice melted almost to the surface. The cracklike marks on Europa's icy face appear to be fractures where water or slush oozes from below. (这里不管你能不能看懂中间,这最后一句打死也要明白,因为它在解释鸡蛋壳上的"裂痕"Peter估计这里可能会有考题) Soon after Voyager 2's encounter with Jupiter in 1979, when the best images of Europa were obtained, researchers advanced the startling idea that Europa's subsurface ocean might harbor life.(老生常谈了!) Life processes could have begun when Jupiter was releasing a (20 )vast store of internal heat. Jupiter's early heat was produced by the compression of the material forming the giant planet. Just as the Sun is far less radiant today than the primal Sun, so the internal heat generated by Jupiter is minor compared to its former intensity. During this warm phase, some 4.6 billion years ago, Europa's ocean may have been liquid right to the surface, making it a crucible for life. 1. The word “intriguing” in line 5 is closest in meaning to(果然,就是考了猜词,这个我不是骗人,我读到那里就觉得要考猜词了.这种你认识但是一时说不明白什么意思的词高频!!!) (A) changing (B) perfect (C) visible (D) fascinating 这道题没猜对,应该是D,我选的C,看到后面有visible
解答:我把这个句子拿下来再看:. Until 1979, it was just another astronomy textbook statistic. Then came the close-up images obtained by the exploratory spacecraft Voyager 2, and within days, Europa was transformed-in our perception, at least-into one of the solar system's most intriguing worlds. The biggest initial surprise was the almost total lack of detail, especially from far away.好了,现在再来分析,你应该可以看出Peter拿了这个词的前后两句,其实不止两句,头脑里现在想着这篇文章在说什么.开始作者说从astronomy textbook statistic到close-up images是想表达什么意思?以前关于欧罗巴的资料只是数据,现在已经有了图象,那我现在就认为这个intriguing可能有"真实,准确,栩栩如生,生动,"等意思,继续往下看,was transformed-in our perception说明可能生动,栩栩如生这方面的意思可能更多一点,现在看后边的句子,好了,看到了surprise,可以大笑三声了,因为可以体会出作者的思想感情出来了,好了,现在直接把A,C选项拉出去弊了,那么就请比较perfect和fascinating这两个词哪个可以表达我上边分析的含义,你可以发现perfect强调完美,而后者有allure吸引的含义,你是永远不可能把perfect和surprise 联系起来的,也不可能把perfect和生动联系起来,所以这个题是D.
注意:你可以看出Peter在分析这个题的时候完全没看intriguing那个词和句子,不过你如果背过红宝书,相信你连分析也不用,就直接选了D,我还能记得这个词在word list22,或者23不信你去找找.
8. According to the passage, what is the effect of Jupiter's other large moons on Europa? (A) They prevent Europa's subsurface waters from freezing. (B) They prevent tides that could damage Europa's surface. (C) They produce the very hard layer of ice that characterizes Europa. (D) They assure that the gravitational pull on Europa is maintained at a steady level. 答案是A,我选的是D 解答:答案在这里:The interior of Europa has been kept warm over the eons by tidal forces generated by the varying gravitational tugs of the other big moons as they wheel around Jupiter. The tides on Europa pull and relax in an endless cycle. 这里has been kept warm不就是They prevent Europa's subsurface waters from freezing吗?
9 According to the passage, what is believed to cause the thin lines seen on Europa's surface? (A) A long period of extremely high tides (B) Water breaking through from beneath the surface ice (C) The continuous pressure of slush on top of the ice (D) Heat generated by the hot rocky core 答案是B,我选的C 解答:呵呵,Peter又一次准确预测了考试题,看来我可以去出题了.这里就是问鸡蛋壳上的"裂痕"water or slush oozes from below.,这里你选C可能就是看到了slush,其实这词啥意思我也不知道,但我认识water,而且要注意water是要from below而不是on top,而且这个continous pressure也不对吧.
