新概念英语第二册第88课-Trapped in a mine

新概念英语第二册第88课:Trapped in a mineLesson 88 Trapped in a mine困在矿井里First listen and then answer the question.听录音，然后回答以下问题。

Why is the rescue taking so long?Six men have been trapped in a mine for seventeen hours. If they are not brought to the surface soon they may lose their lives. However, rescue operations are proving difficult. If explosives are used, vibrations will cause the roof of the mine to collapse. Rescue workers are therefore drilling a hole on the north side of the mine. They intend to bring the men up in a special capsule. If there had not been a hard layer of rock beneath the soil, they would have completed the job in a few hours. As it is, they have been drilling for sixteen hours and they still have a long way to go. Meanwhile, a microphone, which was lowered into the mine two hours ago, has enabled the men to keep in touch with their closest relatives. Though they are running out of food and drink, the men are cheerful and confident that they will get out soon. They have been told that rescue operations are progressing smoothly. If they knew how difficult it was to drill through the hard rock, they would lose heart.参考译文6个人被困在矿井里已有17个小时了。

新概念英语第二册课后习题答案详解Lesson 88练习答案 Key to written exercises1．关键句型练习答案A The word if is contained in four sentences.C 1 would not have been injured 2 had been 3 will find4 had given5 is forbidden2．难点练习答案1 into2 out of3 in4 over5 after3．多项选择题答案1. c从课文第3-8行可以看出，只有选c. safest 才与课文内容相符，而其他3个选择都与课文内容相反，所以选c.2. b根据课文所描述的场景，营救工作正在进行，并且非常困难，营救的结果怎样？困在井里的人能否被救出？还是个未知数，所以只有b. So it is not certain that the men will be saved与课文内容符合，而其他3个都是肯定句，表示一定会，与课文内容不符合，所以选b.3. b只有选b. ago才合乎语法，并同前一句含义相符合，其他3个都不合乎语法，意思也讲不通。

4. c只有c. Unless (如果不把他们尽快救到地面上来，他们就有可能丧生)才合乎语法和题目意思。

a. Except (除了，除……之外)是介词，后面不能跟从句；b. without (没有)后面不能跟从句，也不符合题目意思；d. whether (是否)不符合题目意思；所以只有c. Unless (除非，如果不) 才是正确答案。

5. c这是一个以It做先行主语的句子，在这种句子中真正的主语是后面的动词不定式、动名词、或名词从句。

本句只有选c. to rescue才符合语法，可以做主语。

而其他3个选择都是介词短语，不能做这类句子的真正主语，所以选c.6. a本句需要选一个与前一句的动词词组cause the roof to...含义相同的词组。

新概念英语第二册第88课习题答案

Lesson 891. a根据课⽂第1⾏ People will do anything to see a free show..., 可以判断出a. they didn't cost anything 是课⽂所暗⽰的情形,⽽其他3个选择虽然是课⽂所提及的内容,但不是There was a big demand of tickets 的原因. 所以应该选a.2. a根据课⽂第9-10⾏，可以看出，只有a. 与课⽂内容相符合，⽽其他3个选择都与课⽂内容不符。

所以选a.3. d只有选d. bad 才符合语法。

⽽其他3个选择都有语法错误。

a. badly 是副词，不能⽤在动词be 后⾯做表语；b. had one 前⾯应该有冠词a 才正确；c. bad 是形容词，前⾯不应该有冠词a.4. a本句是以How long 提问的疑问句，因此后⾯需要主谓倒置的疑问句语序，才合乎语法。

只有a. did they have to 是疑问句语序。

⽽ b. they had to 是陈述句语序；c. had they to 不是正确的表达⽅式，意思不通；d. they did have to 语序也不正确，应将did 提前，所以选a.5. d前⼀句There must have been several hundred people present(肯定有好⼏百⼈到场)中的must+不定式完成式,表⽰对过去发⽣的事情的推测.只有选d. I think there were(我想是的)才与前⼀句含义和时态上相符合.a. there had to be 没有"推测"的含义,不合乎题⽬意思.b. There must be 虽然表⽰推测, 但不是对过去情况的推测,同前⼀句时态不⼀致.c.It was necessary to be 意义讲不通.6. da. ought to appear (应该出场)；b. should appear (应该出场)这两个选择意义相同，都是现在时，⽽本句的时态是⼀般过去时，它们都与本句的时态不⼀致。

新概念英语第二册课后题答案详解Lesson88

新概念英语第二册课后题答案详解Lesson881. c从课文第3-8行可以看出，只有选c. safest 才与课文内容相符，而其他3个选择都与课文内容相反，所以选c.2. b根据课文所描述的场景，营救工作正在进行，并且非常困难，营救的结果怎样?困在井里的人能否被救出?还是个未知数，所以只有b. So it is not certain that the men will be saved与课文内容符合，而其他3个都是肯定句，表示一定会，与课文内容不符合，所以选b.3. b只有选b. ago才合乎语法，并同前一句含义相符合，其他3个都不合乎语法，意思也讲不通。

4. c只有c. Unless (如果不把他们尽快救到地面上来，他们就有可能丧生)才合乎语法和题目意思。

a. Except (除了，除……之外)是介词，后面不能跟从句;b. without (没有)后面不能跟从句，也不符合题目意思;d. whether (是否)不符合题目意思;所以只有c. Unless (除非，如果不) 才是正确答案。

5. c这是一个以It做先行主语的句子，在这种句子中真正的主语是后面的动词不定式、动名词、或名词从句。

本句只有选c. to rescue 才符合语法，可以做主语。

而其他3个选择都是介词短语，不能做这类句子的真正主语，所以选c.6. a本句需要选一个与前一句的动词词组cause the roof to...含义相同的词组。

c. do it to 和d. do it 都与cause the roof to 含义不符合，意思讲不通。

b. make it to(使它)含义与cause the roof to 相同，但不符合语法，因为动词make 后面要求用不带to 的动词不定式，只有a. make it 符合题目意思也合乎语法，所以选a.7. b本句只有b. but for(若无，要不是)最合乎语法和题目意思。

a. except(除了，除……之外)不合乎习惯用法;c. If not 不合乎语法，应该是If not for 才对，d. unless(除非，如果不)后面只能跟从句，不合乎语法。
