Passage1

【答案與解析】本文向我們介紹了有關(guān)彗星方面的學(xué)問(wèn)。與地球一樣，彗星也是繞太陽(yáng)旋轉(zhuǎn)的，它本身不發(fā)光，靠反射太陽(yáng)的光而發(fā)亮。短文中還介紹了彗星的成因，它拖著的長(zhǎng)尾巴是如何形成的以及的哈雷彗星名字的由來(lái)。

1.D?！癓iketheearth,acometgoesroundthesun,but…”是推斷此題的依據(jù)。

2.C。依據(jù)“…iswaterfrozenintopiecesoficeandmixedwithironandrockdustandperhapsafewbigpiecesofrock.”這句話即能得出答案。

3.D。由第五段的首句“Manypeopleperhapshaveseenacomet.”可知。

4.C?！癝omecometsmoveoutofoursightandnevercomeback.Otherskeepcomingbackatregulartimes.”一句是答案的出處。

5.C。哈雷彗星每七十六年才能看到一次。再結(jié)合“…thelasttimeitcameclosetothesunandtheearthwasintheyear1986.”這句話的意思，即可得到答案。

上面的五個(gè)問(wèn)題我們都可以很簡(jiǎn)單的在原文找到對(duì)應(yīng)的局部，這種題實(shí)際上是最不簡(jiǎn)單出錯(cuò)誤的，由于只要你找到了對(duì)應(yīng)句，即使有個(gè)別的單詞不能理解，也能夠答對(duì)，下面再來(lái)試一文章，看看你的精確率哦。

【答案與解析】這篇令人忍俊不禁的幽默的主要內(nèi)容是：一個(gè)農(nóng)夫的牛病倒了。獸醫(yī)給了他一些藥和一根管子，并告知他怎么樣用這根管子給牛喂藥。其次天，獸醫(yī)再次到農(nóng)場(chǎng)時(shí)發(fā)覺(jué)那位農(nóng)夫坐在家門口，一臉的焦慮擔(dān)心。原來(lái)他的牛病情并沒(méi)有好轉(zhuǎn)。他說(shuō)自己根據(jù)獸醫(yī)的叮囑做了，可當(dāng)他將管子插入牛的嘴里，并放進(jìn)兩粒藥丸，正想吹氣時(shí)，牛卻先吹了一口氣。

1.D。依據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，很簡(jiǎn)單推想出該詞的漢語(yǔ)意思是“獸醫(yī)”。答案固然是D。

2.D。由“She’slyingdownandwon’teat.She”smakingastrangenoise.”可以排解A和B。C明顯不對(duì)。

3.C?！癏etookabottleoutofhisbox,puttwopillsintohishand…”一句是答案的出處。

4.B。由“HowshouldIgivethemtoher?”這句話可知。

5.A.依據(jù)短文最終一句話，不難想象，沒(méi)等農(nóng)夫吹氣，牛先吹了一口氣，將藥丸吹到了農(nóng)夫的嘴里。

做這樣類型的題有一種小技巧，你可以在回答下列問(wèn)題的時(shí)候同時(shí)把答案的相應(yīng)局部用筆標(biāo)出來(lái)，這樣的好處有兩個(gè)，一是提高精確率，二是當(dāng)你覺(jué)得哪個(gè)答案有可能有誤差的時(shí)候可以只針對(duì)那句話和它的上下文來(lái)推斷，不必閱讀整篇文章。

下面是兩篇練習(xí)，看看你今日是否把握了方法，肯定要先做完再看答案和講解哦。

Passage3

【答案與解析】這是發(fā)生在歷的一則歷險(xiǎn)小故事。1908年12月，三個(gè)人乘坐氣球從倫敦動(dòng)身，進(jìn)展了一次長(zhǎng)途旅行。為了能有效地掌握氣球的重量，他們?cè)跉馇蛳路綊炝艘粋€(gè)能盛水的金屬盒子，還事先攜帶了沙子。隨著氣球的上升，氣球上面結(jié)滿了冰，于是引起了一系列的麻煩。歷盡千難萬(wàn)險(xiǎn)，終于化險(xiǎn)為夷?？僧?dāng)氣球升至五千多米的高空時(shí)，他們實(shí)在無(wú)法忍受寒冷，結(jié)果在波蘭安全降落。

1.C。由首句的1908年可知A項(xiàng)有誤。另外，這三個(gè)人準(zhǔn)備從倫敦動(dòng)身乘氣球作長(zhǎng)距離旅行，由于天氣狀況不好，只好在波蘭(Poland)著陸。行程達(dá)1,797公里，將近1,800公里。

2.A.依據(jù)“Thiscouldholdwater.Oritcouldbeempty.Sotheywereabletochangeitsweight.”可知，金屬盒里盛的水是并非是飲用水，而是用來(lái)轉(zhuǎn)變氣球重量的。文中還說(shuō)他們同時(shí)也帶了幾袋沙子來(lái)調(diào)整氣球的重量。

3.B.依據(jù)“Itwentupto3,000meters,andtheairwasverycold.”或地理常識(shí)可斷定B為答案。

4.A.假如氣球降落在湖上或海上，那將是很危急的，聯(lián)系“TheycamedowninPolandheavilybutsafely”，可知A是答案。

5.D.答案源自最終一段中的“Theyweresocoldthattheydecidedtoland.”一句。
