19、可知,拖车式房屋的设计是为了防止潜在的盗窃,并抵御飓风。但是一场火灾可以轻易地摧毁它,或者一种疾病可以席卷它。由此可推断出,这种拖车式房屋是易受其他因素影响的。故选C。3.C。推理判断题。根据第三段“If you do it wrong, the snails die.”可知,蜗牛看护者对待他们工作的态度是谨慎小心的。故选C。4.A。主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知,这种蜗牛的数量极少,故A项“这种物种最后的几条蜗牛”为短文最佳标题。四、语法填空1.were held考查动词时态和语态。本句的主语与hold之间是被动关系,又由于这是描述古代奥运会,所以用一般过去时的被动语态。2.first考查数词
20、。前面有定冠词the,所以填序数词,表示“第一届奥运会”。3.made考查非谓语动词。make与A wreath之间是动宾关系,故用过去分词作后置定语。4.on考查介词。根据句意可知,此处表示“戴在头上”,所以用介词on。5.which考查定语从句。先行词是the Olympics,从句中缺少主语,故用关系代词which。6.swimming考查非谓语动词。swimming pools意为“游泳池”,说明所修饰名词的用途,应该用动词-ing形式。7.athletes考查名词所有格。根据句意“但参赛国自己支付运动员们的费用”可知,此处要用athlete的复数形式的所有格,表示“运动员们的”。8.have won考查动词时态。根据时间状语Since 1984可知,此处要用现在完成时,故填have won。9.fields考查名词复数。根据前面的修饰词different可知,此处要用复数形式,表示“不同的场地”。10.a考查冠词。a great honour 在此处意为“一件非常荣耀的事情”。第10页（共10页）
