25、：wonder：想知道，纳闷( want to know)。本句为提出问题，通篇都围绕“悉尼是什么样子”这一问题作文章。imagine意为“想象( form a picture in the mind)”；think意为“思考( use the mind to form opinions)”；ask后要有双宾语。下文内容不是你自己的思考或想象，而是作者向你介绍悉尼的情况，回答你想知道的事实，故选wonder。答案：D2解析：根据下文介绍，悉尼不可能是澳大利亚最小的城市。C、D两项不符合题意。答案：A3解析：下文green park land和 beautiful deepwater harbo

26、ur都是介绍悉尼的自然美。最后一段亦有照应。答案：B4解析：be popular for意为“因受欢迎”，be praised for意为“由于 受到表扬”，均不切题意；be known for 意为因而知名( generally recognized)，be famous for 意为“因而闻名”，比be known for语意强烈，指在广大地区出名，根据该文对悉尼的描述，用be famous for更为贴切。答案：C5解析：根据下文的例子可知此处指历史古迹。答案：D6解析：rows of houses 指“一排排房屋”。答案：B7解析：悉尼有许多旅游景点(attractions)。答案：A

27、8解析：既然是attractions(吸引物)，就只能是“欣赏”。答案：D9解析：悉尼歌剧院位于水边，故选“stands”。答案：B10解析：“歌剧院”属于“建筑物”。答案：C11解析：advanced指“先进的”。答案：C12解析：地铁、公共汽车和出租车是包括在交通通信网络之内的，不可能是besides和except 的关系。答案：D13解析：下文举出的冬夏平均气温说明悉尼的气候宜人。答案：A14解析：用no太绝对化。答案：B15解析：文章从悉尼的自然，历史古迹、娱乐及文化等方面介绍了澳大利亚首都悉尼。答案：B二、分析：本文主要介绍奥运会的起源。1解析：date back to“回溯到”，T

28、he Olympic Games与动词date是主动关系，所以用现在分词作状语。答案：Dating2解析：“申请”。答案：bid for3解析：根据上下文了解，每个国家都努力在奥运会获得更多的奖项。答案：medals4解析：“两者都是每四年举行一次”。答案：Both5解析：表转折关系。答案：However6解析：“反而”。答案：Instead7解析：“it is.that” 强调句。答案：that8解析：被举行。答案：was held9解析：成功的。答案：successful10解析：“不同种族”。答案：different三、分析：本文主要讲述了北京为成功举办奥运会而做出的努力。1解析：推理判

29、断题。文章第二段提到北京市想到2008年时达到和London等城市一样的环境标准。答案：C2解析：词义猜测题。根据上下文可知：北京市为了保护环境而采取“搬走”污染环境的工厂，建绿化带。答案：A3解析：细节理解题。文章倒数第二段提供了相关信息“Besides，Beijing plans to build an 82.25kilometrelong subway to add to the existing 53 kilometres”。答案：A4解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段，同时联系全文理解可知。A错在文章根本没有进行对比，C错在文章没有讲北京环境污染主要由烧煤导致；D错在文章没有讲液化气和汽油谁贵，谁便宜。答案：B四、名师点拨本文是写2008年北京奥运会火炬接力图标，可以根据写作要求的第三点“参考”部分来写，注意适当运用从句、分词短语、过渡词等，以使文章连贯、完整、流畅。范文赏读The Logo of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Torch Relay consists of fi
