△Global team of scientists find ecosystem below earth that is twice the size of world's oceans Reading Comprehension
Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A.B.
C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Scientists identify vast underground ecosystem
The Earth is far more alive than 1 thought,according to"deep life"studies that reveal a rich ecosystem beneath our feet that is almost twice the size of that found in all the world's oceans.
Despite extreme heat,no light,minuscule nutrition and intense pressure,scientists estimate this subterranean biosphere is teeming with between 15bn and 23bn tonnes of micro-organisms, hundreds of times the combined weight of every human on the planet.
Researchers at the Deep Carbon Observatory say the 2 of underworld species bears comparison to the Amazon or the Galapagos Islands,but unlike those places the environment is still largely original because people have yet to 3 most of the subsurface.
The team combines 1,200 scientists from 52 countries in 4 ranging from geology and microbiology to chemistry and physics.A year before the conclusion of their 10-year study,they will 5 an amalgamation(融合）of findings to date before the American Geophysical Union's annual meeting opens this week.
Samples were taken from boreholes more than 5km deep and undersea drilling sites to construct 6 of the ecosystem and estimate how much living carbon it might contain.
One organism found 2.5km below the surface has been buried for millions of years and may not 7 at all on energy from the sun.Instead,the methanogen(甲烷微生物) has found a way to create methane in this low 8 environment,which it may not use to reproduce or divide,but to replace or repair broken parts.The strangest thing is that some organisms can exist for millennia.They are metabolically active but in stasis,with less energy than we thought possible of 9 life.
Rick Colwell,a microbial ecologist at Oregon State University,said the timescales of subterranean life were completely different.Some microorganisms have been alive for thousands of years,barely moving except for 10 in the tectonic plates,earthquakes or eruptions.
Underworld biospheres vary depending on geology and geography.Their combined size
is estimated to be more than 2bn cubic kilometers,but this could be 11 further in the future.
The researchers said their discoveries were made possible by two technical advances:drills that can penetrate far deeper below the Earth's crust,and improvements in microscopes that allow life to be 12 at decreasingly minute levels.
The scientists have been trying to find a lower limit beyond which life cannot exist,but the deeper they dig the more life they find.There is a temperature maximum-currently l22C-but the researchers believe this record will be broken if they keep exploring and developing more 13
instruments.
Mysteries remain,including whether life colonizes up from the depths or down from chemical processes,and what this might the surface,how the microbes 14 revealing about how life and the Earth co-evolved.
The scientists say some findings enter the realm of philosophy and exobiology-the study of extraterrestrial life.Robert,a mineralogist at the Carnegie Institution for Science,said:"We must ask ourselves:if life on Earth can be this different from what experience has led us to expect,then what strangeness might 15 as we probe for life on other worlds?"

高考完形填空专项训练步步高 抓好三方面●跨好三大步●做好三结合 ------谈完形填空解题技巧中学生在做完形填空题时存在的问题，概括起来有以下三方面： 1.不善于抓文章的主旨大意，并以此为中心展开对整篇文章的推理、判断，导致理解上出现偏差，甚至和文章的中心相悻。 2.容易受定势思维的影响，对文意分析不透，忽视特定语境中知识的运用。 3.对完形填空题怀有厌倦、畏惧心理，以至做题时处于应付状态，做题能力得不到提高。 那么，怎样才能提高做完形填空题的能力呢？我们应从以下三方面入手训练思维能力和解题技巧：抓准主旨、透析文意、理清逻辑。并在做题过程中把这三方面与做完形填空的三大步骤“通读、精读、复读”有机结合，明确每步的思维主攻方向。即抓好三方面，跨好三大步，做好三结合。 一、通读短文抓主旨 一般情况下，完形填空短文都不给标题，不容易把握文章的主题和大意。但短文首句通常不设空格，这就为我们窥视文章全貌提供了一个窗口，而尾句往往是文章的总结、结论或点睛之笔，所以抓住开篇启示作用的首句和总结概括性的尾句是必要的。借助于首尾句给予的启示，克服不良心理的影响，满怀信心，全神贯注，目光越过空格，注意能体现文章大意的关键词句，尽力从整体上理解短文大意，这是逐空填词的重要依据和基础。如果一开始就忙于见空填空，势必无法从整体上把握全文概要，无法形成连贯的思路，只见树木不见森林，理解偏离文章的中心，造成顾，此失彼的错误，甚至影响做题速度。 抓住了文章的主旨大意后，我们围绕主旨大意去阅读、预测、推理、判断，往往会收到事半功倍的效果。尤其是一些干扰性强，容易使人犯想当然错误的选项就会迎刃而解。 二、精读短文析文意 在基本抓住文章的主旨后，应逐句精读短文，逐题分析选项，对特定的语境做深人的理解，克服“定势思维”，根据全文大意和词不离句，句不离文的原则，逐项填空。切不可以单纯的词汇辨析或语法角度去做题，而应以能否恰如其分地表达文意作为选择最佳答案的唯一标准。要吃透文意，理解到位，我们应做到以下几点： 1.从上下文的角度考虑，注意其内在联系。就题论题，断章取义，忽视上下文的信息提示是我们常犯的错误。因此我们在做题时要注重暗含的信息提示，找准突破口，确保文意畅通。 2.从词汇意义及用法、惯用法和搭配的角度去考虑，准确判断。NMET完形填空题中考查词汇意义及用法、惯用法和搭配的题目逐年增多，必须结合上下文把握文意，研读
点评2010年北京英语高考完形填空（附详细解析） 杨瑶 [标签：完形填空教师点评高考 2010年高考刚刚落幕，杨瑶老师第一时间对北京高考完形进行了详尽地解析，并与过去三年完形考题进行了纵向对比研究，得出如下结论。 一、考点解析 2007-2010年高考英语完形填空词性考点分布图 从词性角度分析，完形填空的重点是实词，其中名词和动词所占比例又相对较高。虚词考察虽少，但大多较为灵活，比如通过与动词的搭配来考察考生对介词词义的理解程度，比如通过连词考察考生对句子衔接的把握。根据分布可以看出，2010年高考命题在词性考察的平衡性上有所调整，争取覆盖所有词性，以体现考生的综合素质。因此词汇量的扩充是攻克完形填空的第一关。 二、命题特点 2010年的完形的选材沿用了往年的风格，为叙述为主，夹叙夹议，涉及细致心理活动描写，往往是一个从消极到积极的转变过程。 附：07年第一人称叙述，08年第一人称叙述，09年第三人称叙述，10年第一人称叙述。 2007-2010年高考英语完形填空综合考察点分布图 1、
为突出完形填空这一题型的“选拔功能”需要，语篇层面的题目逐年递增，2010年的考察尤其突出这点。对于四个选项，如果孤立地看对应挖空的句子，或许都能满足句子的要求，即使个别小题中四个备选答案的词类有不相同者，其语法功能也往往是一样的。考生只有结合上下文语境才能选择出正确答案。 此外，每年的完形填空都会有一两道考察知识迁徙能力的题目，要么选项是考生不熟悉的单词，要么是考生没见过的搭配。比如07年的break the news，是由课本中的“breaki ng news”迁徙而来；比如10年的lively，是由课本中的“live shows”引申出来。另外，由于完形填空综合性较强，因此词组层面和句子层面的试题比例大致应该会固定在50%左右，不可掉以轻心。 从答案分布上看，仍然体现均等原则，今年的完形答案中ABCD选项各五个，这个技巧尤其适用于高分段考试在复查时提高正确率。 三、趋势预测 1、难度提高，干扰项迷惑性加大 2、语篇理解题目增多，逻辑要求提高。 3、单纯考察语法和单词的题目减少,知识拓展迁徙能力考察提高 2010年高考英语完形填空详细解析 I met Mrs. Neidl in the ninth grade on a stage-design team for a play and she was one of the directors.

高考专项突破——完形填空( 附答案详析) 一、完形填空解题策略： 1．跳过空格、通读全文、把握大意。先跳过空格，通读试题所给的要完形填空的短文，获得整体印象，做到弄清文脉、抓住主旨，较好地把握短文大意。要在阅读理解短文意思的基础上才开始判定选择，切忌仓促下笔。 2．结合选项、综合考虑、初定答案。在理解全文意思的基础上，再结合所给备选项细读全文，联系上、下文内容，注意从上、下文的语法结构和词语搭配及从选择项中寻找解题的提示，以词、句的意义为先，再从分析句子结构入手，根据短文意思、语法规则、词语固定搭配等进行综合考虑，对备选项逐一进行分析、比较和筛选，排除干扰项、初步选定答案。 3．瞻前顾后、先易后难、各个击破。动笔时要瞻前顾后、通篇考虑、先易后难。对比较明显直接的、自己最有把握的答案先做，一下子不能确定答案的，先跳过这一空格，继续往下做，最后回过头来再集中精力解决难点。这时可结合已确定答案的选项再读一遍短文，随着对短文理解的深入，可以降低试题的难度，提高选择的正确率。 4．复读全文、逐空验证、弥补疏漏。完成各道题选择后，把所选的答案代入原文，再把全文通读一篇，逐空认真复查。看所选定的答案是否使短文意思前后连贯、顺理成章，语法结构是否正确，是否符合习惯表达法。如发现错误答案或有疑问的，应再次推敲、反复斟酌、做出修正。 做完形填空选择题时应注意如下几点： 1．完形填空的短文通常没有标题且文章的首句和尾句，一般不设空，要特别注重对首、尾句的理解，因为它们往往提示或点明文章的主题，对理解全文有较大帮助。 2．第一遍通读带有空缺单词的短文时可能一时把握不住短文内容，弄不清头绪，这是很正常的。此时要注意克服畏难情绪和急躁心理，应稳定情绪，再将短文读一、二遍，直到明确大意为止。 3．做题时切勿一看到一个空格就急着选出一个答案，这样往往只见树木不见树林。由于缺乏全局观念，极易导致连续选错。因为完形填空不同于单个句子的选词填空，其空白处是位于一篇文章之中，因此必须纵观全文、通篇考虑。 4．每篇完形填空所设的空多以实词为主，所提供的四个备选项中只有一个是正确的，其它三项均为干扰项。而干扰项也多半与前、后的句子或词组可以形成某种搭配，即如单从语法角度判断则无法确定，还必须从语篇意义上加以鉴别。 5．动笔时先易后难，先完成容易、有把握的答案，这样可以增强自信心，然后再集中精力解决难点。对于实在无法确定的，可以从文中同样结构或类似结构中寻找提示，大胆地作出猜测。 二、专项训练 1 I used to be ashamed of my grandma.
