　　Fishy Film Goes DeeperAvatar director James Cameron is now taking his camera deep into the ocean.

　　On March 25, he did a lone submarine(潛水艇)dive nearly 11 kilometers down to the deepest place in the ocean, the Mariana Trench(馬里亞納海溝)in the western Pacific.

　　Compared with the colourful forest of Avatar, the Mariana Trench is dark and icy cold. Cameron became the first person to explore the deepest valley in the ocean since two men made a 20-minute trip there in 1960.

　　“I felt like I really had gone to another planet and come back, ”Cameron told the Associated Press after returning from his dive. “It’s really the sense of isolation(與世隔絕), realizing how tiny you are down in this big, black and unexplored place. ”

　　The filmmaker has spent the past few years working with his team of engineers to design and build the submarine called “Deep-sea Challenger”. Unlike ordinary submarines, it is wrapped in cameras and lights so that Cameron can film the ocean from the inside.

　　The minute-long video that Cameron took while under the sea has been released by the National Geographic. There are no words in the video, but there is something fascinating about this extremely quiet and remote place. Cameron said he was thankful that he of all people had had the chance to go there.

　　“There had to be a moment when I just stopped, and took it in, and said, ‘This is where I am; I’m at the bottom of the ocean, the deepest place on Earth. ’”Cameron told reporters.

　　The Mariana Trench was once thought to be of little interest to scientists. It was assumed that nothing could live under so much pressure and with so little light. But in recent years scientists have found that creatures there like fish and shrimps can resist the heavy pressure. They are also trying to figure out what role deep-sea trenches play in earthquakes.

　　Cameron told the BBC that he does not want this dive to be a one-time thing. He wants to use it as a platform for further ocean exploration. (370W)

　　1. What is the purpose of the passage?

　　A. To inform readers of Cameron’s adventure to the Mariana Trench.

　　B. To report the successful launch of the “Deep-sea Challenger”.

　　C. To introduce Cameron’s latest video filmed in the Mariana Trench.

　　D. To draw public attention to the Mariana Trench.

　　2. It can be inferred from the passage that when Cameron reached the Mariana Trench, 　.

　　A. he felt worried and isolated

　　B. he was anxious about his safety

　　C. he was surprised by what he experienced

　　D. he was excited that he had occupied the ocean

　　3. How does the “Deep-sea Challenger” differ from ordinary submarines?

　　A. It is more comfortable than an ordinary submarine.

　　B. It is much heavier than an ordinary submarine.

　　C. It is specially designed for filming under the sea.

　　D. It is the only one allowing people to see the outside.

　　4. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A. The role that deep-sea trenches play in earthquakes is still unknown.

　　B. Cameron is the first person to have explored the Mariana Trench so far.

　　C. Scientists don’t think that the Mariana Trench is of much scientific value.

　　D. There are no creatures living in the Mariana Trench due to its special conditions.

　　(2024·廣州模擬)

　　The morning for our snowmobiling(雪地機動車)adventure finally arrived, and we set off on the hour-and-a-half drive to the resort. A fresh powder had fallen the night before, and everything was frosted white. We couldn’t have asked for more perfect conditions. The sun sparkled(閃光)on the snow, and the trails(路線)were completely empty—not another person or snowmobile in sight. We were thrilled at being the only people for miles around . . . until we got going.

　　As we drove through the deserted wilderness(荒野), my excitement became stone-cold fear. I had no idea what I was afraid of, or why I was afraid, but suddenly every turn, every hill, every steep(陡峭的)side of the mountain scared me to death. I kept picturing us crashing headlong into a tree or falling off the side of a drop.

　　But after lunch things changed. We were the only humans who had been there since the snowfall. The peaceful place, the incredible beauty of the landscape, and the almost sacred(神圣的)experience of sharing a mountain with the wildlife touched my very core(核心). My mind cleared and quieted and my muscles relaxed.

　　As we drove the last leg of the run, I began to resent being afraid to drive. Deep down, I wanted to be in charge of the thing that scared me. It made me angry that fear was keeping me from something I really wanted to do. The day was coming to an end, and the resort was only a few miles away. I knew that if I didn’t take my chance now, I would regret it.

　　I signaled for my husband to pull over. I wanted to drive, although my heart pounded(重擊). I started off slowly and felt the wind in my face. I smiled and sped up a little. I let out a “Yee—haw!” and went full out, taking my husband on the best ride of the day.

　　We ended the day on that breathless, carefree, and I felt proud of myself—proud of overcoming my fear. (365W)

　　Ⅰ.1.【解析】選C。句意: 二十歲時史蒂夫離開了故鄉, 決心不取得成就就不回來。說明主語在離開家鄉時的狀態, 故用形容詞determined。否定不定式在不定式符號to前加not。

　　2.【解析】選D。考查非謂語動詞作結果狀語。句意: 他多次試圖偷渡到鄰國去, 結果每次都被抓住。根據句意, 所填部分作結果狀語, 并且是出乎意料的結果, 所以要用不定式結構。

　　3.【解析】選D。考查動詞短語辨析。句意: ——為什么我們的外教昨天不高興? ——海嘯襲擊她的國家的消息引發了她的思鄉病。set off引起, 激起, 符合句意。set for設置, 安排; set out出發; set about開始, 著手。

　　4.【解析】選B。句意: 我的英語老師走進教室, 好像很生氣。這是一個省略句, 補充完整應是as if my English teacher was angry。

　　【變式備選】

　　Mr. Turner looked　he had completed the task by himself. But in fact, he had little contribution to the achievement.

　　A. even though

　　B. in that

　　C. now that

　　D. as if

　　【解析】選D。句意: 事實上Mr. Turner對這次取得的成就幾乎沒有作任何貢獻, 但是看上去好像那全是他自己完成的。as if引導的表語從句是一種與過去事實相反的情況, 用虛擬語氣。even though“盡管”; in that“因為”; now that“既然”。

　　5.【解析】選A。考查動詞辨析。句意: 他被解雇了, 因為他被警告要嚴格守時, 但是他又遲到了。warn“警告”; encourage“鼓勵”; allow“允許”; forbid“禁止”。

　　6.【解析】選C。考查短語辨析。make up“編造; 虛構(故事等)”; put up“提出, 建立”; give up“放棄”; show up“露面”。根據句意“她被邀請參加聚會但不想去, 所以她編了一個借口”, 可知選C。

　　7.【解析】選B。考查名詞辨析。句意: 如果我們把他所要處理的一切事情考慮進來的話, 他的計劃看起來還是可行的。take. . . into account/consideration為固定搭配, 表示“把……考慮進去”。thought“思索, 想法, 觀點”; account“賬戶, 描述, 報道”; position“位置, 方位, 境況, 形勢, (社會)地位, 職務”; effect“結果, 效果, 影響”。

　　8.【解析】選A。考查非謂語動詞。句意: 我發現簡坐在桌旁認真地做家庭作業。seat與其邏輯主語Jane之間是被動關系, 故用seated作賓語補足語; doing her homework carefully是現在分詞短語作伴隨狀語。

　　【知識拓展】

　　非謂語動詞的三種形式作狀語

　　1. 動詞不定式與現在分詞作狀語時, 與句子的主語是邏輯上的主動關系, 過去分詞與句子的主語是邏輯上的被動關系。

　　2. 動詞不定式可表示目的、結果狀語, 表示結果狀語時, 強調意外的結果。

　　3. 現在分詞與過去分詞除了不能表示目的外, 可以表示原因、時間、條件、讓步、伴隨、結果等。現在分詞表示結果時, 強調順其自然的結果。

　　例如:

　　(1)To achieve my goal, I must work hard. 為了實現我的目標, 我必須努力。(動詞不定式表示目的)

　　(2)We hurried home, only to find my parents were not at home. 我們匆忙到家, 結果卻發現我父母不在。(動詞不定式表示意外的結果)

　　(3)Seen from the window, the picture is not clear.

　　從窗戶那兒看, 這幅畫不清楚。(主語the picture與see是邏輯上的被動關系)

　　Seeing from the window, she finds the picture is not clear. 從窗戶那兒看, 她發現這幅畫不清楚。(主語she與see是邏輯上的主動關系)

　　(4)The price of buildings has been going up, making many people worried. 房價不斷上漲, 使得很多人擔心。(現在分詞表示順其自然的結果)

　　9.【解析】選B。考查動詞辨析。句意: 然而, 有時候這種自然界的平衡被打破了, 會導致許多不可預見的影響。disturb“擾亂”, 符合句意; trouble“使憂慮, 使苦惱”; keep“保持”; mix“混合”。

　　10.【解析】選C。考查短語辨析。后半句句意為: 我們必須在瓶子中的水用完之前找到一個水池。run out of“用光”, 屬及物動詞詞組, 后面要跟賓語; run away“逃跑”; run out“用光”, 屬不及物動詞詞組, 其主語常為物, 其后不跟賓語, 符合題意; run off“逃跑; 逃走”。

　　11.【解析】選D。考查詞語辨析。句意: 他向我們撒謊說放在桌子上的那些蛋是蛇下的。第一個空表示“說謊”, 用過去式lied; 第二個空表示“平放”, 用現在分詞lying作定語; 第三個空表示“下蛋”, 用過去分詞形式。

　　12.【解析】選A。句意: 電影《熊貓人》以2030年為背景, 當時世界面臨兩個人的威脅, 他們試圖控制人們的思想。be set in“以……為背景”, 符合句子結構。

　　13.【解析】選B。考查過去分詞作表語的用法。句意: 親愛的乘客, 車未完全停下來前請坐著別動。seat作“坐”解時, 多用過去分詞的形式作表語, 這里remain是系動詞。
