GPS____19____.‎ ‎“Our survey is to centimetre accuracy，” explains OS sector manager Elaine Owen，“our mapping database is the most ____20____ geographical database in the world.”‎ 语篇解读：本文为说明文，主要介绍了OS Explorer ‎ map，该地图对地形和地点描述精确，有助于游人探险。‎ ‎1．A.spring B．summer C．autumn D．winter ‎[解析]　考查语境选词。由下文中的“since this was summertime in Britain”可知，此处只有summer符合题意。‎ ‎[答案]　B ‎2．A.floor B．wall C．TV D．desk ‎[解析]　考查语境选词和常识。由常识可知地图一般是挂在墙上的，故选B。‎ ‎[答案]　B ‎3．A.sheet B．book C．picture D．paper ‎[解析]　考查语境选词。由本句可知墙上挂着的是英国测绘局1963年印制的一张大型地图，再由本文的主题可判定选项中的picture，book不符合题意。而选项D中的paper“纸”为不可数名词，不与a large连用。所以A 项sheet“一张”符合题意。‎ ‎[答案]　A ‎4．A.drawing B．representing C．dotting D．charting ‎[解析]　考查动词辨析。本文讲的是地图，在这儿作者暗示地图制作精致，该图对周围地形的制图标准是“图上六英寸，实际一英里”。所以本题应填与绘图有关的词语。draw“绘画”，多指手绘；represent“描绘，展示”；dot“加点于”；chart“绘制(区域)的地图”。故选D。 ‎ ‎[答案]　D ‎5．A.However B．Wherever C．Whenever D．If ‎[解析]　考查语境选词。根据语境可知，此处表示无论什么时候，只要天一下雨，作者就会待在家里研究地图。所以C项Whenever符合题意。‎ ‎[答案]　C ‎6．A.study B．write C．read D．observe ‎[解析]　考查语境选词。参考上题解析可知，此处表示只要天一下雨，作者就会待在家里研究地图。英语中表示看地图一般用study，所以选A项。‎ ‎[答案]　A ‎7．A.buy B．borrow C．pack D．draw ‎[解析]　考查语境选词。由本文首句“As a boy，like many others，I used to love looking through maps”可知，作者喜欢地图。此处是说作者无论到哪里都喜欢带上一份地图。所以pack“塞进，装”符合题意。‎ ‎[答案]　C ‎8．A.cheaper B．more reliable C．more convenient D．simpler ‎[解析]　考查语境选词。空格后面提到“an app on my smartphone，which is prone to run out of power，or...”，由此可推知作者认为地图比智能手机上面的app可靠。‎ ‎[答案]　B ‎9．A.map B．systems C．information D．signal ‎[解析]　考查生活常识。依据常识可知手机的不便之处除了比较容易没电之外就是没信号，所以D项signal“信号”符合题意。‎ ‎[答案]　D ‎10．A.carried B．packed C．produced D．studied ‎[解析]　考查语境选词。从本段内容看，作为一个著名的地图制作商，在印制地图时必须遵循客观性、权威性和科学性这三大原则，这样人们在使用地图时才能正确确定方向。此处的produced作“制作，印制”解，其他选项不符合题意。‎ ‎[答案]　C ‎11．A.scientific B．exploring C．travelling D．researching ‎[解析]　考查语境选词。根据上文和本句前面的“objective and authoritative(权威性的)”可知，地图是一种严谨的科学性工具，可推知只有A项符合题意。‎ ‎[答案]　A ‎12．A.pursues B．focuses C．tries D．prides ‎[解析]　考查语境选词。从全文看，the Ordnance Survey是英国著名的地图制作公司，而且它以其精良的地图品质和综合功能为骄傲，由此可以判断出该地图生产商对其产品引以为豪。故选D。‎ ‎[答案]　D ‎13．A.convenient B．accurate C．complex D．simple ‎[解析]　考查语境选词。既然the Ordnance Survey对它的产品引以为豪，且该产品为地图，结合选项可知，应选B。准确性是评价地图质量的最重要的因素。‎ ‎[答案]　B ‎14．A.astonishingly B．expectedly C．gradually D．promptly ‎[解析]　考查语境选词。从下文中的“...more than 460 million geographic features and is continually...more than 10,000 times a day—by a ‎ team of 270 surveyors ...”可以看出该公司紧随时代科技的发展而不断发展。所以，gradually“逐步地，逐渐地”为最佳选项。‎ ‎[答案]　C ‎15．A.amount B．database C．system D．signals ‎[解析]　考查语境选词。由上下文中出现的digital，“geographic features”和“geospatial database”可判断出此处database符合题意。‎ ‎[答案]　B ‎16．A.original B．newly C．well－known D．so－called ‎[解析]　考查语境选词。根据语境可知，此处表示所有的地图都是根据这个所谓的英国“OS MasterMap”制作而成的。故选D。‎ ‎[答案]　D ‎17．A.collects B．produces C．analyzes D．contains ‎[解析]　考查语境选词。从本段叙述看，此处表示“OS MasterMap”of Great Britain公司所有产品的信息含量非常大，而且在不断地自动更新，而本文并没向读者讲述该公司是如何collect(收集)，也没论述如何analyze(分析)，再则这些数据不可能是自动produce(生产)的，故contain“含有，包含”符合题意。‎ ‎[答案]　D ‎18．A.updated B．changed C．downloaded D．cycled ‎[解析]　考查语境选词。结合语境特别是下文中的“more than 10,000 times a day”可知，此处表示信息不断更新，故选A。‎ ‎[答案]　A ‎19．A.smartphones B．technology C．information D．systems ‎[解析]　考查语境选词。信息的更新和升级主要是靠“a team of 270surveyors”运用GPS(全球定位系统)这项先进技术来进行的。由此可知选项B符合题意。‎ ‎[答案]　B ‎20．A.convenient B．complex C．detailed D．difficult ‎[解析]　考查语境选词。由文中的“accuracy”，“maintaining an enormous ____15____ of geographical information”和 “more than 460 million geographic features”这些信息可以判断出，此处为“详尽”之意。故选C。‎ ‎[答案]　C
