1句意:有史以來人們有病醫(yī)生盡力給他們治愈。

根據(jù)句意有史以來人們有病醫(yī)生盡力給他們治愈可知。故填cure。

2句意:因?yàn)獒t(yī)療知識(shí)的缺乏,他們嘗試一些奇怪和有害的治愈。

根據(jù)句意人們嘗試奇怪的方法來治病,由此可以推出他們對(duì)藥物了解得很少,故填medicine

3句意:因?yàn)獒t(yī)療知識(shí)的缺乏,他們嘗試一些奇怪和有害的治愈。

根據(jù)上下文可推測(cè)古代人們的質(zhì)量方式奇怪且有害,表示有害的形容詞是harmful。故填harmful。

4句意:以古老的埃及人為例。

埃及人是古老的,所以用ancient修飾。故填ancient。

5句意:那些牙痛的人不去看牙醫(yī)。

因?yàn)槲闹姓f埃及人不習(xí)慣去看牙醫(yī), 所以他們應(yīng)該得了牙痛,故填 toothaches。

6句意:把死老鼠放進(jìn)嘴里,留在嘴里幾個(gè)小時(shí)。

根據(jù)句意是 "他們反而放一只死老鼠在嘴里,放幾個(gè)小時(shí)" ,故填several。

7句意:背痛的人經(jīng)常痛得很厲害。

根據(jù)句意背痛的人經(jīng)常痛得很厲害,固定搭配have much pain表示疼得很厲害。故填pain。

8句意:因?yàn)榧棺挡辉谡_的位置。

根據(jù)句意背痛是因?yàn)榧怪e(cuò)位,所以這里應(yīng)該填含義為位置的名詞 "position"。故填position

9句意:古代希臘的病人被帶到高高豎起的梯子上,然后掉到地上。

根據(jù)句意病人被帶到堆得很高的階梯上然后掉下來可知。故填taken。

10句意:古代希臘的病人被帶到高高豎起的梯子上,然后掉到地上。

動(dòng)詞短語 pile up 堆起來,本句是指 "病人被帶到堆得很高的階梯上然后掉下來" 。故填piled

11句意:在1848年的夏天危地馬拉安布羅西奧圖特,當(dāng)?shù)氐慕y(tǒng)治者在建有廟宇、金字塔、廣場(chǎng)和房子的熱帶叢林中發(fā)現(xiàn)了瑪雅城。

根據(jù)句意 "Ambrodio和當(dāng)?shù)亟y(tǒng)治者人發(fā)現(xiàn)了瑪雅古城。" 所以填local。故填local。

12句意:在1848年的夏天危地馬拉安布羅西奧圖特,當(dāng)?shù)氐慕y(tǒng)治者在建有廟宇、金字塔、廣場(chǎng)和房子的熱帶叢林中發(fā)現(xiàn)了瑪雅城,斞殴懦鞘窃趨擦值叵掳l(fā)現(xiàn)的,故填jungle。

13句意:當(dāng)瑪雅人規(guī)劃好區(qū)域時(shí),國(guó)王已經(jīng)住下來了。

根據(jù)句意可知瑪雅時(shí)期的寺廟,金字塔,廣場(chǎng)和宮殿都被發(fā)現(xiàn)了,故填ruled

14句意:一些人已經(jīng)在尋找大西島,據(jù)說是一個(gè)在大西洋中間小時(shí)的島嶼。

從前文人們一直在尋找Atlantis可知它是一個(gè)消失的城市,所以本空填lost。

15句意:多虧島上自然資源,那的人們很富裕。

從后半句人們過得富足反推島上的自然資源很豐富,故填資源"resources" 。

16句意:幾百年來人們過著富足的生活。

前兩句說島上資源豐富,人們富足,可以推斷他們幾百年內(nèi)過著富足的生活,故填富足的sufficient修飾lives。故填sufficient

17句意:慢慢地他們變得很貪婪,想有政權(quán)。

根據(jù)上下文,上帝最后對(duì)人們進(jìn)行了報(bào)復(fù),所以他們應(yīng)該是逐漸變貪婪了才會(huì)被報(bào)復(fù),所以這里填貪婪greedy充當(dāng)became的表語。故填greedy。

18句意:慢慢地他們變得很貪婪,想有政權(quán)。本空所填的名詞作wanted的賓語,應(yīng)該是名詞,這里對(duì)貪婪做出解釋他們想要權(quán)力,故填power。

19句意:因此上帝決定摧毀大西島。

從文章邏輯來看,人們變貪婪, 愛權(quán)利, 自然為了報(bào)復(fù)摧毀了Atlantis, 所以本空填摧毀的動(dòng)詞destroy。故填destroy

20句意:突然之間"島和島上的人被海水吞沒了,再也沒被看見過。

根據(jù)句意 "島和島上的人被海水吞沒了,再也沒被看見過。" 可知本空應(yīng)填動(dòng)詞swallow的過去分詞和were構(gòu)成被動(dòng)語態(tài)。故填swallowed

【題目】 Everybody says that youth(青春) is the best time of our lives. Being young means romance(浪漫), love and new discoveries, but it is also the most difficult time, because you have to make some very important decisions, which will influence your future life.

Things are not easy nowadays even for adults, but for teenagers, who have to find their own place in society, it’s even difficult. It is necessary not only to adapt to(適應(yīng))society, but also to be confident of your position in five, ten or even twenty years time.

According to studies, at the age of 16, almost 72% of all boys and 37% of all girls in Russia have already tried smoking. Smoking is not a natural need. It’s just that teens try it when they want to appear to be more like adults.

Drugs are also a serious problem. Students know the names of drugs well enough. 32% say they have tried drugs at least once, mainly because they were having fun, their friends influenced them to, they wanted to relax or they wanted to seem “cool”. That’s too bad.
