28、上午11点40 分的照片,为谓语动词,设空处应用非谓语动词作定语,与其所修饰词picture之间是逻辑上的被动关系,所以应用过去分词taken。3.absolutely句意为:它表明月球的远端并不是完全黑暗的。设空后的dark是形容词,应用副词修饰形容词,故填absolutely。4.is known句意为:但它通常被称为黑暗面,因为它不面向地球,人们对它知之甚少。know是谓语动词,与主语little是被动关系,应用一般现在时的被动语态,故填is known。5.signals句意为:事实上,月球的远端是一个相当安静的地方,没有来自地球的无线电信号的干扰。signal是可数名词,结合句意可知

29、此处用名词复数,故填signals。6.who句意为:侯锡云是南京大学天文与空间科学学院的副教授,他告诉美联社:“总的来说,中国的空间技术仍然落后于西方,但随着在月球远端的登陆,我们已经冲到了前面。”设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词指人,关系词在从句中作主语,that不能引导非限制性定语从句,故填who。7 On 句意见上一题解析。On the whole为固定搭配,意为“总的来说”,因位于句首,首字母应大写,故填On。8.an句意为:他补充道:“这次登陆是中国日益渴望加强其作为国际大国地位的一个例子”此处example是泛指,表示“ 一个例子”, 且其发音以元音音素开头,故填an。9.to strengthen句意见上一题解析。本句谓语为is,故strengthen应用非谓语动词形式,此处应用动词不定式作后置定语修饰desire, desire to do sth意为“做某事的欲望。故填to strengthen。10.that句意为:希望我们使中国更强大的太空梦想将很快实现。Its hoped that.为固定句型,意为“希望”。此处It是形式主语, that引导的从句是真正的主语。故填that。
