26.Mpollutants.解析:
of前边是levels级别,等级的意思,of后应该是名词形式,翻译为_____的级别,根据文章首句说南加利福尼亚的雾霾是出了名的差可判断这篇文章关于坏境。
26空这一句说在美国,洛杉矶____的级别方面是最差的城市,名词又跟环境污染有关的就是M选项pollutants污染物。
27.Nrestricted.解析:
倒装句,正常语序应该是thestate’sbadairisnot____toitssouth.意思既相符,又符合这个搭配的只能是restricted,berestrictedto仅限于。
28.Cconsequence.解析:
本空在a后边一定是名词,asaconsequence固定搭配,意为结果,因此。
这句话意思是,结果,具名的心脏和肺都受到感染。
29.Jinnovation.解析:
空格前边是名词of形容词,因此可推断此结构是AofB的结构,因此空格应该是名词。
跟在technological技术的后边,并且后文又说designed设计监视器,可推断这里应该是技术创新闻名的地方,因此才能设计出来一些机器。
30.Fdetail.解析:
本句是一个完整句说明不缺成分,那么空格的地方应该是状语部分,跟在in后边detail可形成固定搭配,indetail详细的。
31.Kintended.解析:
be___to因此这个地方应该是动词ing或者动词过去分词,在仅有的几个符合条件的选项里intended符合意思,beintendedto打算做某事,意图做某事。
32.Loutdoor.解析:
空格前边of后边名词此处缺一个形容词,前边说这个检测器目的是监测出____的环境污染,符合意思的是outdoor户外的环境污染情况。
33.Bcollaborating.解析:
位于hasbeen__with后边此处应该是动词ing或动词过去分词,只剩下了collaborating和creating,collaborating是可以和with搭配的,意为与...合作,符合题意。
34.Iinhabitants.解析:
跟在city’后边一定是名词,后边又是被迫使用汽车,前边应该是人类,表达人类的选项是consumers和inhabitants,但是这篇文章并没有强调消费者,所以根据整篇文章的北京应该是说城市的居民们。
35.Ecreating.解析:
在剩下的六个选项里Aassisted含义不符合Dconsequence词性不符合Gdomestic含义不符合Hfrequently词性不符合Osum词性不符合,符合形式以及含义的只有creating。
