Today, most countries in the world have canals. Many countries have built canals near the coast, and parallel 67 the coast. Even in the twentieth century, goods can be moved more cheaply by boat than by any other _68_ of transport.
These _69 make it possible for boats to travel __7 0_ ports along the coast without being _7_1_ to the dangers of the open. Some canals, such as the Suez and the Panama, save ships weeks of time by making their 72 a thousand miles shorter. Other canals permit boats to reach cities that are not 73 on the coast; still other canals .74._ lands where there is too much water, help to _75 fields where there is not enough water, and 76_. water power for factories and mills. The size of a canal ___7_7_ on the kind of boats going through it. The canal must be wide enough to permit two of the largest boats using it to _7_8 each other easily. It must be deep enough to leave about two feet of water .79__ the keel of the largest boat using the canal. When the planet Mars was first ._80_ through a telescope, people saw that the round disk of the planet was crises-crossed by a 8l of strange blue- green lines. These were called "canals" _82_ they looked the same as canals on earth 83 are viewed from an airplane.
However, scientists are now 84 that the Martian phenomena are really not canals. The photographs ~ 85 from space-ships have helped us to __86~ the truth about the Martian "canals".

文章精要
許多國(guó)家都開(kāi)鑿運(yùn)河作航運(yùn)和灌溉之用，文章論述了運(yùn)河的多種用途，并在最后敘述了人們通過(guò)天文望遠(yuǎn)鏡觀測(cè)到火星“運(yùn)河”的情況。
67．C慣用搭配題。固定搭配parallel to意為“與……平行”，符合句意，所以C正確。
68．B慣用搭配題。means of transport意為“交通工具／方式”，是固定搭配，所以B正確。
69．A詞義辨析題。waterway意為“水道”，waterfront意為“城市的濱水區(qū)”，channel意為“海峽”，paths意為“小路”，結(jié)合上下文可知，運(yùn)河其實(shí)就是水道，所以A正確。
*考點(diǎn)
● waterway多指“水路，排水溝”，還泛指一切“航道或可航行之水體”。
●waterfront意為“靠水邊的地”，尤指船只?？康拇a頭區(qū)。
●channel除了作名詞指“海峽”以外，還可作動(dòng)詞，指“引導(dǎo)，指導(dǎo)，使經(jīng)過(guò)某種路線行動(dòng)或引導(dǎo)”，如：The teacher channels her curiosity into research．老師將她的好奇心引到了研究上去。
70．B介詞用法題。between指“在兩者之間”，符合句意，所以B正確。而among指“在三個(gè)或三個(gè)以上的人／物中間”，與句意不符，故排除。
71．B詞義辨析題。expose意為“使暴露、面臨”，常與介詞t0連用，表示“暴露于……之中”，符合句意，所以B正確。reveal意為“顯示，揭露”，常用于表示秘密、真相等被揭露；show意為“展示”；open意為“打開(kāi)”，均排除。
72．C詞義辨析題。voyage意為“航行”，且特指水上航行，而其他選項(xiàng)均與水無(wú)關(guān)，所以C正確。
*考點(diǎn)
●trip多指以游玩為目的的(短途)旅行、旅程。
●journey指較遠(yuǎn)的旅程，目前已不多用。
●voyage的意思更廣一些，多指航海，去國(guó)外或較遠(yuǎn)地方的海上或陸地旅行，航空或通過(guò)外層太空的航行，還可以作“見(jiàn)聞錄”講。
●route指特定而有規(guī)律的“路線”，通常是迂回的，可以包括數(shù)條道路或街道，有時(shí)甚至包括小路、小巷，使用范圍也較廣。
73．D詞義辨析題。locate意為“位于”，符合句意，所以D正確。station意為“駐扎于”，set意為“放置于”，lie在意為“位于”時(shí)不能用于被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，均應(yīng)排除。
74．B詞義辨析題。根據(jù)常識(shí)，水量過(guò)多通常都要排掉，drain意為“排出……的水”，所以B正確。escape意為“溢出”，dry意為“變干”，leak意為“漏出”，均不符合句意，故排除。
75．D詞義辨析題。在水量不足的地區(qū)，通常需要用外界的水來(lái)灌溉，irrigate意為“灌溉”，符合句意，所以D正確。water意為“澆水，噴淋”，wet意為“弄濕”，soak意為“浸透”，均不符合句意，故排除。
*考點(diǎn)
●wet作及物動(dòng)詞時(shí)相當(dāng)于make wet和moisten。
●soak指“浸透，濕透”，所指的濕度要大于雨淋的濕度，例如指把硬東西放在水里泡軟，如：We soak dirty dishes in soapy water to loose the food particles．我們把用過(guò)的盤子泡在肥皂水里以使黏附的食物殘?jiān)菀妆磺逑吹簟?BR> ●irrigate多指“灌溉，滋潤(rùn)”，也有“沖洗傷口”等義。
76．A慣用搭配題。選項(xiàng)中能與介詞for搭配表示“提供”的只有furnish，所以A正確。afford，offer和give在指“提供，給予”時(shí)通常用afford／offer／give sb．sth．的結(jié)構(gòu)。
77．C詞義辨析題。depend on意為“取決于”，結(jié)合句意可知，C正確。base on意為“以……為基礎(chǔ)”，take on意為“承擔(dān)”，focus on意為“集中(注意力)”，均不符合句意，故排除。
78．B詞義辨析題。本句的意思是“運(yùn)河必須足夠?qū)挘茉试S兩條的船同時(shí)________?！敝挥衟ass(通過(guò))符合句意，所以B正確。
79．C詞義辨析題。beneath指“在……以下”，表示位置，符合句意，所以C正確。down指“向下”，表示方向；below多用于抽象概念；off表示距離，均應(yīng)排除。
*考點(diǎn)
●below意為“在下，在下面”，是above的反義詞。
●beneath是on的反義詞，指在某物正下方并接近或接觸某物。
80．D詞義辨析題。表示“用……觀測(cè)”，要用動(dòng)詞0bserve，所以D正確。study和research指“系統(tǒng)研究”，survey指“調(diào)查，檢查”，均排除。
81．B詞義辨析題。a number of表示“大量的”，后跟可數(shù)名詞，符合句意，所以B正確。plenty of意為“大量的”，后既可跟可數(shù)名詞，又可跟不可數(shù)名詞，但沒(méi)有a plenty of這種用法；a deal of表示“大量的”，但不能修飾可數(shù)名詞；也沒(méi)有a supply of這樣的用法，所以排除A、C、D項(xiàng)。
82．B邏輯銜接題。結(jié)合句意可知，這里要用表原因的連詞來(lái)引導(dǎo)原因狀語(yǔ)從句，所以B正確。
*考點(diǎn)
●seeing，considering，now that等引導(dǎo)的從句，以及很多用在形容詞之后的由that引導(dǎo)的從句也可起到原因狀語(yǔ)的作用，如：She was glad that she had controlled herself．她很高興她做到了自制。
83．A邏輯銜接題。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處應(yīng)填入一個(gè)能引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句的關(guān)系代詞，由于先行詞是canals，所以A正確。注意，不要看到as，就想到as…as…結(jié)構(gòu)而錯(cuò)選。這里的as是the same as…結(jié)構(gòu)的一部分。
84．C詞義辨析題。exact意為“準(zhǔn)確的”，definite意為“明確的”，certain意為“確信的”，decisive意為“決定性的”。exact和definite用于修飾物，所以排除；decisive不符合句意，也排除，故選C。
*考點(diǎn)
●exact相當(dāng)于strictly correct，強(qiáng)調(diào)絲毫不差，比accurate的詞義更強(qiáng)。
●definite多強(qiáng)調(diào)“肯定的，不容置疑的，一定的”。
●certain指“一定的，必然的，有把握的”，和sure的意思相同，但語(yǔ)氣更強(qiáng)。
85．B慣用搭配題。take photographs是慣用搭配，意為“拍照”，所以B正確。
86．D詞義辨析題。discover強(qiáng)調(diào)發(fā)現(xiàn)抽象的事物，符合句意，所以D正確。find常指發(fā)現(xiàn)具體的事物，expose指“暴露”，uncover指“揭開(kāi)”，均應(yīng)排除。
