In addition, it can drink an enormous __52__ water at one time, then store sufficient water in its red blood cells and other parts of its body to supply its needs for two weeks or more. The kangaroo rat, on the other hand, __53__ all the water it needs from water that it produces during respiration. However, most animals need to __54__a fairly constant body temperature, and will die if it rises more then 5C. __55__, they need to find some way to avoid the strong sunrays. Nor can many animals either store or produce water in their bodies, as the camel and kangaroo rat __56__. So they must find ways to __57__ water loss from their bodies to the lowest degree.

　　Because very few desert animals can survive the strong rays, the temperature, and the evaporation rate __58__ a typical summers day, most of them are active during the night. Only __59__ the sun has set does the desert come fully to life. The night is relatively cool, and the darkness provides __60__, not only from the sun, but also from other animals and from the birds. So the coming of darkness is the signal __61__ the large majority of animals and insects to continue their search for water and food. When morning comes, most of them seek __62__again. Many go underground; nearly all find somewhere shady where they can avoid the sunrays.

　　For many kinds of insects, living in the desert is __63__ than for animals. Like many desert plants, they have a waterproof skin which __ 64__ water loss by evaporation.

　　「正確答案」 51-55 BAACD 56-60 ABCAB 61-65 ABACD

　　「答案解析」 51.bear是“忍受”，原句的含義是說(shuō)“例如，駱駝能……其體溫和血液溫度上升9度”。

　　52.amount是“數(shù)量”， number是“數(shù)字”，sum是“總數(shù)” .原句說(shuō)“駱駝能一次飲下許多……的水”。所以答案為amount.

　　53.原句說(shuō)“而有袋類動(dòng)物……所有她需要的水……”，從語(yǔ)義上看obtain(獲得)合適。

　　54.原句說(shuō)“然而，大多數(shù)的動(dòng)物需要……比較穩(wěn)定的體溫，如果體溫上升5度就會(huì)死去”。所以maintain(保持)合適。

　　55.原句說(shuō)“……，它們需要找到某種躲避強(qiáng)烈太陽(yáng)光的方法”。從邏輯上看“因此”合適。

　　56.As 引導(dǎo)的從句是一省略句，該部分省略了謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞，但助動(dòng)詞不能省略。從原句上看原句的前面部分有助動(dòng)詞can ，所以As引導(dǎo)的從句中應(yīng)該有與前一部分相對(duì)應(yīng)的助動(dòng)詞can.原句說(shuō)“許多動(dòng)物不能如駱駝和有袋類動(dòng)物那樣在在身體儲(chǔ)存水，或在身體里產(chǎn)生水?！?/P>

　　57.該句說(shuō)“它們必須找到方法來(lái)……水的損失”。

　　58.該句說(shuō)“一個(gè)典型的夏日……蒸發(fā)率”。從語(yǔ)義上比較填入of(的)，表示所有關(guān)系合適。

　　59.該句說(shuō)“只有當(dāng)太陽(yáng)落山……沙漠才能完全恢復(fù)生機(jī)”。After 是“之后”，而until引導(dǎo)的從句中的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞如果是非延續(xù)性的，如句中的come(恢復(fù))，則要用not……until的結(jié)構(gòu)，而原句不是這樣的結(jié)構(gòu)。

　　60.該句說(shuō)“晚上要相對(duì)涼爽些，黑暗提供……” ，從語(yǔ)義上說(shuō)“保護(hù)”合理。

　　61.原句說(shuō)“夜幕的來(lái)臨……大多數(shù)要繼續(xù)找尋食物和水的昆蟲(chóng)和動(dòng)物……是一個(gè)信號(hào)”。從語(yǔ)義上說(shuō)(for)“對(duì)……來(lái)說(shuō)”合適。

　　62.原句說(shuō)“當(dāng)清晨來(lái)臨，許多的動(dòng)物又尋找……”比較答案和根據(jù)前面的內(nèi)容，shelter(避身處)合適。

　　63.該空的選擇要借助下一句，下一句說(shuō)“象許多的沙漠植物一樣，昆蟲(chóng)有防水的皮膚”所以昆蟲(chóng)的生活要更“容易”些。

　　64.防水的皮膚當(dāng)然是“防止”水分因?yàn)檎舭l(fā)而損失。

　　65.原句說(shuō)“地下，至少在一年中的大部分時(shí)間，是……潮濕，而且通常比地表面涼爽些”。從語(yǔ)義上說(shuō)“some(一些)”合適。
