2020屆高考英語基礎鞏固復習教案
c.slightly d.extremely
解析：選c�？疾楦痹~辨析。slightly 稍稍，輕微地。由 only 可知答案為slightly。absolutely絕對地，完全地；approximately大約，接近；extremely極其地，非常地。
8.there is no doubt，in my opinion， ________matters is not the speed，but the quality of the product.
a.that b.which
c.what that d.that what
解析：選d。考查名詞性從句。that 引導的同位語從句說明doubt的內容；在此同位語從句中含有一個主語從句what matters。
9.after two years’ research，we now have a ________ better understanding of the disease.
a.very b.far
c.fairly d.quite
解析：選b。考查形容詞比較級用法。句意：經過兩年的研究，我們現在對這種疾病有了更進一步的了解。依句意，四個選項中只有b項可以和比較級連用。
10.he came ________where i was hiding and my heart beat faster.
a.more closely to b.much closer
c.rather closer to d.quite closely to
解析：選c。close和closely都可用作副詞，但意思不一樣。close意為“靠近，接近”，常與介詞to連用；closely表示抽象意義，意為“密切地，仔細地”。根據句意排除a、d項，故選c。

(XX屆英語周報第2期)martin frobisher, born in yorkshire，went to london as a boy to be educated by a relative. he showed no talent for book learning，so his relative sent him to sea. before reaching manhood, frobisher had been on two voyages to the guinea coast. on the second he was captured and handed over to the portuguese garrisoning(駐守) sao jorge da mina(now elmina, ghana)，who allowed him to return to england.
by the 1570s，england had largely abandoned hope of finding a northeast passage to asia, and thoughts turned to the northwest. frobisher worked together with michael lok, a man of some wealth and learning. frobisher’s first voyage, in 1576，took him to frobisher bay in baffin island.
english investors(投資者)，including queen elizabeth, poured money into lok’s company of cathay. frobisher sailed again in 1577, this time to ship home what he mistakenly thought was goldbearing minerals.lok still felt hopeful and sent frobisher back in 1578. this time the mariner discovered the hudson strait. he followed the strait for nearly 200 miles, believing it to be a more promising northwest passage than frobisher bay. he brought home more dirt and rocks, but english confidence had gone；lok went to a debtors’ prison and frobisher sought other employment.
