使接近

Groundbreaking research by two french geophysicists promises to shed some light on the mystery.using 80 metres of deep sea sediment core, they have obtained measurements lots of magneticfield intensity that span 11 polarity reversals and four million years.the analysis reveals that intensity appears to fluctuate with a clear, welldefined rhythm.although the strength of the magnetic field varies irregularly during the short term, there seems to be an inevitable longterm decline preceding each polarity reversal.when the poles flip―a process that takes several hundred thousand years―the magnetic field rapidly regains its strength and the cycle is repeated.

答案为d。这一题目是根据上下文判断词意的题。flip的意思是&快速翻转&，它所在的句子的意思是&当两极互换――这一过程需要上万年的时间――磁场会很快重新恢复它的强度，新的一轮循环又开始了。&因此在四个选项中： a.decline的意思是&拒绝；变小、变弱&，b.intensify的意思是&变得更强烈、加剧&，c.fluctuate的意思是&涨落、波动&；d.reverse的意思是&使反转、倒退、颠倒&，例如：writing is reversed in a mirror。写出来的字在镜子里是颠倒的。d的意思与flip最接近。

At that time the shape of the Arabic and modern Arabic numerals not exactly the same, albeit just, to make them into writing today, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0 way, there are many mathematicians spent a lot of hard work.

那时的阿拉伯数字的形状与现代的阿拉伯数字尚不完全相同，只是比较接近而已，为使它们变成今天的1、2、3、4、5、6、7、8、9、0的书写方式，又有许多数学家花费了不少心血。

Edward in 1292 gave the whole kingdom to John Baliol as the closest claimant to the throne but John aligned Scotland with France, a bitter enemy of England.

爱德华在 1292 年把整个王国交给了 John Baliol，当作王位最接近的索偿者，但约翰使苏格兰与法国----英格兰严厉的敌人结盟。

Considering the initial defects of concrete, tensile strength of composite material phases(mortar matrix, aggregates and bond) is assumed to obey Weibull distribution. Consequently, the lattice model generated is more reasonable.

考虑到混凝土的初始缺陷，假设混凝土内各相组分的抗拉强度均服从Weibull分布，从而使生成的网格模型和实际结构更为接近。

This last advance permitted a very close approach to the limiting temperature of absolute zero.

最后的这步使温度能非常接近极限温度，即绝对零度。

Although Vermeer use all kinds of method to search after the nature and make the painting's texture and light efforts near the nature as far as possible.

尽管维米尔用各种方法研究自然并尽量使他画面的结构和光线效果和大自然接近，但他和当时荷兰流行的风俗画家是有很大区别的。

In the negative and interrogative forms, of course, this is identical to the non-emphatic forms.

。但是，在否定句或疑问句里，这种带有"do"的方法表达的效果却没有什么强调的意思。

Go down on one's knees;kneel down
