Question

【題目】Section A
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
Since the earliest civilizations, people have controlled rivers to meet society's demands. Today, rivers are controlled for many reasons, primarily to maintain reliable water supplies for daily, agricultural and industrial needs, for power generation, for navigation (航行), and to prevent flooding.
River control is achieved by channelization, a term that covers a range of river engineering works, including widening, deepening, straightening and stabilization of banks, and by the construction of dams.
An important period of channelization took place in Europe during the l9'th century, when many large rivers were straightened and their beds deepened. One of the most dramatically changed was the Tisza River, a branch of the Danube that flows through Hungary. The controlling of the Tisza, designed to reduce flooding and make land for agriculture, included cutting off more than 100 meanders (河曲), shortening the river's length by nearly 400 kilometers.
One of the most common ways in which people control rivers is by damming them. The past 50 years or so has seen an increase in dam construction worldwide, and at the beginning of the 21st century, there were about 800,000 dams globally, some towering more than 200 meters in height.
Despite their successes, many dams also cause significant environmental changes that prove harmful. Some particularly deep reservoirs (水庫) can bring about earthquakes due to the stress on their bottom rocks caused by huge volumes of water. Downstream of a reservoir, the river is certainly influenced in many ways: water volume, speed and quality are all affected, leading to changes in the landscape and among plants and animals.

Answer 1

【答案】River Control；Reasons；supply；agriculture；flooding；deepening；stabilizing；shortening；dam construction；the environment
【解析】本文是一篇說明文，講述人類對河流資源的利用，從利用原因和利用方式上分別介紹，結構清晰。

⑴全文標題，根據首段（people have controlled river, rivers are controlled）和各段首(river control is, people control rivers…)得出全文都在討論利用河流資源，答案注意要改成名詞形式River Control。
⑵根據本空后面的方框提到的信息定位到第一段中的“Today, rivers are controlled by many reasons, … ”答案為概括這些細節的名詞，即Reasons（注意復數形式）。
⑶根據第二段中的“for daily, agricultural and…”答案為前一行的supply（注意改為原形-空格前有不定式to）。
⑷根據⑶題定位得出答案agriculture（注意改為名詞-與daily life和industry 并列）。
⑸根據第一段中的“and to prevent flooding”得出答案flooding（prevent與stop… from同義替換）。
⑹根據第二段，空格前后的widening和straightening確定答案為deepening。
⑺根據⑷題定位，確定答案為stabilizing（注意形式也要與上一條并列被stabilization改為動名詞）。
⑻根據400 km定位到第三段最后一句，得出答案shortening。
⑼根據 第四段第二句，本題的答案應該是方框后面兩條具體信息的概括表達，所以找到本句前半部分的“the past 50 years or so has been an increase in dam construction worldwide,'下面即是具體描述，所以答案為dam construction.
⑽根據最后一段中的”cause significant environmental changes that prove harmful“得出答案為the environment(注意把environmental給為名詞，同時注意添加冠詞the)
