解析：本题考查表语从句的用法。

本表语从句缺少作表语从句主语的引导词。

如用the place，后面应该是定语从句，但缺少作定语从句主语的引导词。

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最佳答案。

A
About 1966 or so,a NASA （美国航空航天局）team doing work for the Apollo moon
mission took the astronauts near Tuba City.There the landscape of the Navajo Reservation （保留地）looks very much like the lunar surface.Among all the trucks and large vehicles were two large figures that were dressed in full lunar space suits.
Nearby a Navajo shepherd （牧羊人）and his son were watching the strange creatures walk about,occasionally being watched over by other NASA workers.The two Navajo people were noticed and approached by the NASA people.Since the shepherd and his son did not know English,they asked the NASA people who the strange creatures were.The NASA people told them that they were just men that were getting ready to go to the moon.The shepherd became very excited and asked if he could send a message to the moon with the astronauts.
The NASA officials thought this was a great idea so they provided a tape recorder.After the man gave them his message,they asked his son to translate.His son would not.
Later,they tried a few more people on the reservation to translate and every person they asked would chuckle （偷偷地笑）and then refuse to translate.Finally,with cash in hand someone translated the message.
“Watch out for these guys,they have come to take your land!”
41.The appearance of the Navajo Reservation is very similar to that of ______.
A.the Tuba City
B.the moon
C.the NASA research center
D.the Apollo moon mission
解析：文章第一段说到，那块保护区的景色与月亮表面的景色很相像。

A.felt frightened and ran away quickly
B.chatted excitedly with the NASA workers
C.got on the modern trucks and large vehicles for fun
D.tried to say something to the moon creatures

答案：D
43.The son did not translate the words his father said because ______.
A.he had trouble in understanding his father
B.the words his father used were too difficult to be translated
C.his father was sending a warning against the NASA people
D.he believed that the NASA workers could understand their language
解析：从文章最后一段可知，牧羊人的儿子并非不理解他父亲的意思，也并非他父亲的话他翻译不了，而是不想惹怒这群美国人，因为他的父亲说的话不利于美国政府。

答案：C
44.According to this passage,we can know that the shepherd was ______.
A.patient and brave
B.foolish and impolite
C.humorous and intelligent
D.knowledgeable and talkative

答案：C

In summer,millions of people will head for the beach.And while the ocean can be a great place to swim and play,it may also be useful in another way.Some scientists think that waves could help make electricity.
“Have you ever been on a surfboard or boat and felt yourself being lifted up by a wave?Or have you jumped in the water and felt the energy as waves crashed over you?”asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland.“There is certainly a lot of energy in waves.”
Scientists are working on using that energy to make electricity.
Most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean.“The winds start out by making little ripples （波纹）in the water,but if they keep on blowing,those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves,”Taylor said.“Waves are one of nature’s ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey.”
When waves come towards the shore,people can set up dams or other barricades to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine （涡轮）.The turbine can then power an electrical generator （发电机）.
The United States and a few other countries have started doing research on wave energy,and it is already being used in Scotland.
The resource is huge.We will never run out of wave power,besides,wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources,such as oil and coal.
Oceans cover three quarters of the earth’s surface.That would make wave power seem perfect for creating energy around the world.There are some drawbacks,however.
Jamie Taylor said that wave power still cost too much money.He said that its effects on animals in the sea were still unknown.Plus,wave power would get in the way of fishing and boat traffic.
With more research,however,“many of these problems might be overcome,”Taylor said.“Demand for energy to power our TVs and computers,drive our cars,and heat and cool our homes is growing quickly throughout the world.Finding more energy sources is very important,for traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may run out some day.”
In the future,when you turn on a light switch,an ocean wave could be providing the electricity!
45.Which of the following is NOT true?
A.Wave power costs too much money.
B.Wave energy creates the same amount of pollution as other energy sources.
C.Wave power affects fishing and boat traffic.
D.Wave power may affect marine animals.
解析：波浪所发的电能不像其他形式的能源，它不会带来很多的污染。

答案：B
46.We can infer from the passage that ______.
A.finding new energy sources like wave energy is important
B.wave energy is a resource that will never run out and is used all over the world
C.wave power is perfect for creating energy around the world
D.wave power doesn’t create any pollution
解析：这种能源如何利用正在研究中，故B错误。

并非波能是最好的能，C错；波能
也会带来污染，但程度小，D错。

答案：A
47.The underlined word “drawbacks”probably means ______.
A.regrets
B.adventures
C.disadvantages
D.difficulties
解析：从倒数第四段中perfect和however可推知。

答案：C
48.What can be the best title for the passage?
A.How to Get Electricity by Waves
B.A Huge Resource of Energy
C.Can Waves Make Electricity?
D.The Disadvantages of Wave Energy
解析：从整篇文章来看，波能是否能广泛使用，还在试验之中，所以C项最恰当。

答案：C。
