andsteamshootingupintotheairfromthecrater.

A、True

B>False

C、NotGiven

【正確答案】B

【答案解析】答案選B。該題說的是：飛行員飛行的高度超過2100米時(shí)，看見一

個(gè)黑色的火山灰和蒸汽從火山口急速上升到空氣中。但是，文章中airlinepilots

flyingnearthevolcanosoonafterwardsdescribedathickblackcolumnofashand

steamshootingmorethan2,100metersintothesky.說的是靠近火山的地方出現(xiàn)了

一個(gè)黑色的火山灰和蒸汽上升到空氣中，其高度超過2100米。因此該命題是錯(cuò)

誤的。

第19題【單選題】

C、toshrinkittothesizeofadesktopcomputerandcutthescanningtimeto30

【答案解析】這部分所說的體積的減小和所需時(shí)間的縮短恰好與前半句中提到的

9

冰箱大小的體積和所需數(shù)分鐘的時(shí)間形成了對比。即：目前它大約像冰箱那么大，

而且要用幾分鐘掃描一個(gè)電路，但是他們正在努力使它縮小到臺(tái)式計(jì)算機(jī)那么大,

把掃描時(shí)間縮短到30秒。

再利用排除法，不難選出正確答案A。

A、KillingPowerofAncientVolcanicEruptions

B、AccountingfortheKillingPowerofOlderEruptions

C、CalculationoftheKillingPowerofOlderEruptions

D>AMassExtinction

【正確答案】C

【答案解析】本段第一句話是說：Wignailcalculatedthe"killingefficiency"forthese

volcanoes...；Wignall計(jì)算了這些火山的“滅絕效率〃；其中killingefficiency與

killingPower意思差不多，屬于同義詞轉(zhuǎn)換，因此選擇B或C,但是accountfor意

思是：（在數(shù)量方面）占；說明（原因等）不符合句意，因此不選擇B。

一個(gè)黑色的火山灰和蒸汽上升到空氣中，其高度超過2100米。因此該命題是錯(cuò)
