【文章大意】本文是說明文。海龜穿越鐵軌時會遭遇危險，相關(guān)部門設(shè)

越鐵軌的好辦法。

29.WhatdoesParagraph2mainlytalkabout?

【文章大意】本文為說明文。研究表明,30億年前整個地球可能被水覆

蓋，本文就此觀點提出了研究證據(jù)。但是研究人員不知道大陸何時以及

如何開始從海洋中出現(xiàn)，他們計劃調(diào)查更早的巖層，以拼湊出更精確

的時間軸。

32.Whereistheresearchsite?

A.Inaregiondeepunderwater.

B.InaregionoffAustralia.

C.InaregioninlandAustralia.

34.What'stheresearchers/conclusionafteranalyzingsamplesfrom

Australia?

A.Modernearthmusthavebeenawaterworld.

B.Modernearthmusthavebeenacontinentalworld.

C.Ancientearthmayhavebeenawaterworld.

地區(qū)古代的水比現(xiàn)在含有更多的氧-18。研究小組認(rèn)為，如果大陸上沒

有覆蓋著土壤，那么海洋中可能存在更多的氧-18。他們的發(fā)現(xiàn)確實表

明，在32.4億年前，地球上沒有多少干燥的土地。”可知，古代地球可

能是一個水的世界。

A.Toresearchcontinentalsoils7formations.

B.Toresearchtheocean'sformations.

C.Toresearch“older“rockformations.

以及如何開始從海洋中出現(xiàn)，但他們計劃調(diào)查更早的巖層，以拼湊出

更精確的時間軸?！笨芍芯咳藛T為了弄清楚大陸何時以及如何開始

從海洋中出現(xiàn)，下一個重點是研究“更年輕的〃巖層，故選D。

G.It'snowonderthey'rebecomingincreasinglypopularincitiesaround

【文章大意】這是一篇說明文。主要介紹了電動滑板車作為交通工具

的興起及隨之出現(xiàn)的安全問題。

36.【解析】選Ao根據(jù)前一句可知，如果你環(huán)顧倫敦的街道，你會看

到人們用來出行的許多方法。后一句引出本文話題：現(xiàn)在又有了一個新

成員電動滑板車。選項A.Theroadsarealreadycrowded.（路上已經(jīng)

很擁擠了。）符合文意。

37.【解析】選G。本段前兩句解釋了電動滑板車的優(yōu)勢，故下文總結(jié)

它受到人們的歡迎，選項G.It'snowonderthey'rebecomingincreasingly

popularincitiesaroundtheworld.（難怪它們在世界各地的城市里越來

越受歡迎。）符合文意。

38.【解析】選E。根據(jù)前文表述“在英國，法律規(guī)定在公共公路或人行

道上騎自行車是被禁止的。但是，盡管如此，似乎日益流行的電動滑板

車意味著它們隨處可見”可知，在舊有的法律規(guī)定和電動滑板車日益流

行之間存在著矛盾，因此E.Andnowusersarecallingonregulationsto

bechanged.（現(xiàn)在，用戶們呼吁改變這些規(guī)定。）符合文意。

39.【解析】選Do根據(jù)本段主題句"英國政府正在研究如何在路上使

用它們的安全性，并正在重新審查這項法律〃和設(shè)空處的前一句“微型

移動產(chǎn)品正在全球各國出現(xiàn)，這是一項令人興奮的創(chuàng)新，我們知道這

是有需求的〃可知它的安全性是首要考慮的問題，故D項However,

safetymustalwaysbeourtoppriority.符合文意。
