D.Icemeltedandthenfrozeagainduetotemperature.答案：DCAC解析：72.D。推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“冰川是在地球两极融化的，而非在某一极”推知在新的研究结果之前，科学家们长期认为“冰川是在地球一极融化的”。73.C。猜测词义题。短语在第三段，但要根据第四段第一句推断。新的研究结果已解决了冰川时期冰川在哪儿融化的问题。由此推出shedlighton意为“使事情清楚明白地显示”，因此选C项。74.A。推理判断题。前两段提到气温循环和冰川时代的气温状况，这都在为冰川时期“冰川融化”的话题作铺垫。75.C。推理判断题。从倒数第三段第一句可知。29.34．--Alice,whydidn’tyoucometoJeff’sweddingceremonyyesterday?

--I_______,butIhadanexpectedvisitor.A．wasgoingtoB．hadC．wouldD．did答案：A。解析：考查时态。句意：爱丽丝，你为什么昨天没有参加杰夫的婚礼？——我打算去来着，到那时我有一个意外的访客。结合语境可知下文描述的是过去打算做的事情，故用过去将来时态。begongto表示计划打算的事情，would表示自然发生的事情。故选A。30.Itwashisnervousnessintheinterview____probablylosthimhisjob.A．whichB．sinceC．thatD．what答案：C解析：为强调句型，被强调成分为hisnervousnessintheinterview，句意为“很可能是面试时表现出紧张，使他失去了这份工作”。31.Somedayastrangerwillreadyoure-mailwithoutyourpermissionorscantheWebsiteyou'vevisited，Orperhapssomeonewillcasuallyglancethroughyourcreditcardpurchasesorcellphonebillstofindoutyourshoppingpreferencesorcallinghabits.
