Ain Sefra is a small town. Because the air in the desert is so 4 and hot, it is hard to snow. But in
January, there was high pressure over Europe. It drove cold air down into northern Africa and into the
Sahara.The cold air rose to the elevation of Ain Sefra and then it began to 5.
It's usually very hot in the Sahara and all the town people are used to living there. So after it snowed,
people didn't know 6 to do.The drivers just stopped their cars on the roads.
Photographer Karim was 7 to see that the orange desert was 8 white snow. He got out of
his car and 9 a lot of beautiful photos. "It is not a/an 10 thing. In the Sahara, the first time it
snowed was in 1979 and the second time was in 2016. This is the third time it snowed in the Sahara in the
last 40 years," he said.

【分析】
首先通读全文,明确文章主旨:本文讲述了撒哈拉沙漠门户艾因塞弗拉罕见下雪的现象,以及下雪后的场景和相关背景信息。解题需结合上下文语境、逻辑关系、固定搭配逐一判断:
1. 第1题:根据后文“especially in the Sahara. It is one of the hottest places on the earth.”可知撒哈拉是极热区域,由此推断沙漠下雪是很难的,据此选择对应选项。
2. 第2题:前文指出沙漠下雪难度大,后文说明2018年这里确实下雪了,前后存在转折关系,需选转折连词。
3. 第3题:结合沙漠极少下雪的背景,下雪这件事是很反常、奇怪的,选择符合该语境的形容词。
4. 第4题:根据沙漠的典型环境特点,空气是干燥且炎热的,挑选匹配沙漠环境的形容词。
5. 第5题:前文提到冷空气抵达艾因塞弗拉的海拔高度,结合文章核心主题是下雪,可知此处是开始下雪。
6. 第6题:“know what to do”是固定表达,意为“知道做什么”,人们下雪后不知所措,因此选what。
7. 第7题:摄影师看到橙色沙漠被白雪覆盖的罕见景象,第一反应应是惊讶,选择表达惊讶的形容词。
8. 第8题:描述沙漠被雪覆盖的状态,“be covered with”是固定搭配,意为“被……覆盖”,符合语境。
9. 第9题:“take photos”是固定短语,意为“拍照”,摄影师拍照要用take的过去式took。
10. 第10题:根据后文“In the Sahara, the first time it snowed was in 1979 and the second time was in 2016. This is the third time it snowed in the Sahara in the last 40 years.”可知这种下雪情况并不常见,因此选表示“常见的”的选项。
【解析】
1. 第1题:B。由“撒哈拉是地球上最热的地方之一”可知沙漠下雪很困难,easy(容易的)、bad(坏的)、happy(开心的)均不符合语境,故选B。
2. 第2题:C。前文说沙漠下雪难,后文说2018年这里下雪了,前后是转折关系,so(因此)表因果,because(因为)表原因,or(或者)表选择,but(但是)表转折,故选C。
3. 第3题:D。结合沙漠极少下雪的背景,下雪是很奇怪的事,different(不同的)、difficult(困难的)、creative(有创造力的)不符合语境,strange(奇怪的)符合,故选D。
4. 第4题:A。沙漠空气的特点是干燥炎热,wet(潮湿的)、cold(寒冷的)、windy(多风的)不符合沙漠环境,dry(干燥的)符合,故选A。
5. 第5题:D。前文提到冷空气到达艾因塞弗拉的海拔高度,结合文章主题是下雪,所以开始下雪,storm(暴风雨)、fog(雾)、rain(雨)不符合,故选D。
6. 第6题:A。“what to do”是固定搭配,意为“做什么”,人们下雪后不知道该做什么,where(哪里)、when(何时)、why(为什么)不符合搭配,故选A。
7. 第7题:A。摄影师看到橙色沙漠被雪覆盖的罕见景象,应是感到惊讶的,happy(开心的)、interested(感兴趣的)、lucky(幸运的)不如amazed(惊讶的)贴合语境,故选A。
8. 第8题:B。“be covered with”意为“被……覆盖”,符合沙漠被白雪覆盖的状态描述,home to(是……的栖息地)、made of(由……制成)、open to(对……开放)不符合,故选B。
9. 第9题:D。“take photos”是固定短语,意为“拍照”,此处用take的过去式took,bought(买)、brought(带来)、saw(看见)不符合搭配,故选D。
10. 第10题:C。根据后文40年仅下雪三次的内容,可知这种事不是常见的,special(特别的)、easy(容易的)、real(真实的)不符合,usual(常见的,平常的)符合语境,故选C。
