山西英语周报答案2023-2024七年级第十六期答案

Scientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents (洋流) . Most do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment. However, ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way — by studying movements of random floating garbage. A scientist with many years’ experience, he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States. There were so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear.

Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes — about 60,000 in total — fell into the ocean in a shipping accident. He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back. As expected, the company told him that they didn’t. Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment. If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed, he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents.

The Pacific Northwest is one of the world’s best areas for beachcombing(海滩搜寻) because winds and currents join here, and as a result, there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area. Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed. In a year he collected reliable information on 1, 600 shoes. With this data, he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents, and publish the findings of their study.

As the result of his work, Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean. He has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts, with 500 subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand. They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves.

【解析】

试题分析：作者一开始对于街头艺人的行乞不屑一顾，但是当作者看到这位街头艺人是在为地震灾区募捐的那一刻，改变了一个自负的“我”。

1.由下文可知，作者上街去买东西吃去了，所以应是离开办公室。

2.在路上，作者看见了一个街头艺人。lead “带领”； choose“选择”；fool“愚弄”，从上下文中均没有信息提示。

3.由下文可知作者口袋里装的应该是钱，但是他不会给这位街头艺人。

4.副词辨析。由语境可知作者不愿意把钱给这名街头艺人，他认为艺人只会拿这些钱去过毒瘾或酒瘾。only“只，仅”符合语境。almost“几乎，差不多”， rather “相当”，still“仍然，仍旧；更”均不符合语境。

5.下面的young and ragged都是外表，应该用look like “看起来像”。

6.上下文串联。由下文可知作者不想把钱给这个艺人，但又不知怎么花才好，所以应用表示转折的连词but。though 表让步，for表原因，therefore表结果。

7.这里是作者的心理活动，接着作者意识到不能因为对方是个街头艺人就凌驾于他之上。realize“意识到”符合语境。declare“宣布”，expect“期望”，guess“猜想”。

8.上下文串联。him指的是那个艺人。

9.由下文可知作者进行了思想斗争之后，应该是停下来把钱放进……。文章中并没有提到捐钱的人很多，所以不用等待，也不用跟在别人后面，就在街上，也不用到达。

10.上下文串联。由上文可知艺人前面放了一顶帽子，是供观众往里投钱用的。

11.形容词辨析。文章开头作者就提到他活得很自私，所以这儿他出了钱，就想着有所回报。awkward “笨拙的，局促的”，innocent“无辜的，清白的”，special“特别的；专门的”。

12.名词辨析。作者投钱之后期待的是一种快乐和满足感。happiness幸福，满足；sadness悲哀； love爱；hate憎恶。

13.但是作者并没有得到那种感觉，所以作者应是失望地走开了。unfortunately“不幸地”，coincidentally“碰巧，巧合”，comfortably“舒适地”。

14.上下文串联。作者投了钱，但并没有获得快乐和满足，所以作者认为“这证明是浪费钱”。words“话语”，effort“努力”，space“空间”。

15.上下文串联。上一段提到作者失望地走了，又由on my way home可知下面的一幕发生在作者下午下班回家的路上，时间应是天快要黑的时候，所以应选B项。moment“时刻”，break“暂停，休息”，event“事件”。

16.动词短语辨析。因为天快要黑了，所以当作者再次看到那个艺人的时候，他正在装箱打包准备离开。pack up “装箱打包”，符合语境。walk around“四处走动”， passing by“经过”，run off“排出，流出”。

17.上下文串联。后面的宾语是a cafe counter(一家餐馆的柜台)，walk to “朝……走去”，所以应选D，。

18.。在这家餐馆的柜台前，他把挣到的所有的钱都倒进……total “全体的，总计的”，符合语境，chief “主要的，首要的”，basic“基本的”，actual“实际的，现实的”。

19.介词辨析。for在这里表目标或用途，意为为地震募捐资金的募捐箱。

20.名词辨析。作者由于受到这个艺人的大公无私，乐于奉献的精神的感染，应该是把身上所有的零钱都投进募捐箱。
