8、的成因，它拖著的長(zhǎng)尾巴是如何形成的以及著名的哈雷彗星名字的由來。1 .D。“Like the earth, a comet goes round the sun, but ” 是判斷本題的根據(jù)。2 .C。根據(jù)" - is water frozen into pieces of ice and mixed with iron and rock dust and perhaps a few big pieces of rock. ”這句話即能得出答案。3 .D o 由第五段的首句 “ Many people perhaps have seen a comet. “ 可 知。4 .C o

9、“ Some comets move out of our sight and never come back.Others keep coming back at regular times. ”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“the last time it came close to the sun and the earth was in the year 1986. ”這句話的意思，即可 得到答案。上面的五個(gè)問題我們都可以很容易的在原文找到對(duì)應(yīng)的部分，這種題實(shí)際上是最不容易出錯(cuò)誤的，因?yàn)橹灰阏业搅藢?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

10、再來試一文章，看看你的準(zhǔn)確率哦。Passage 3A farmer had a cow. He took very good care of this cow and one day when it was ill, he was very worried.

14、 the vet asked.“ The cow blew first, ” the farmer said.1.In the story, the vet must be .A. the farmer's friend B. a milk factoryC. a hospital for cows D. a doctor for animals2 .The farmer asked the vet for help when his cow A. couldn't lie down B. didn't eat the pillsC. couldn't make

16、 true?A. The farmer ate the pills himself.B. The cow got better after taking the medicine.C. The vet came to help farmer change the cow the next day.D. The farmer waited for the vet outside his house the next day.Passage 2【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，并告訴他怎么樣用這根管子給牛喂藥。第二天， 獸醫(yī)再次到農(nóng)

17、場(chǎng)時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)那位農(nóng)夫坐在家門口，一臉的焦慮不安。原來他的牛病情并沒有好轉(zhuǎn)。他說自己按照獸醫(yī)的囑咐做了，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 。根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，很容易推測(cè)出該詞的漢語意思是“獸醫(yī)”。答案當(dāng)然2 .D。由 “She' s lying down and won ' t eat. She's making a strange noise. ”可以排除 A 和B。 C 顯然不對(duì)。3 .C o “ He took a bottle out of his box, put two pills into his hand一句是答案的

18、出處。4 .B。由“ How should I give them to her? ”這句話可知。5.A.根據(jù)短文最后一句話，不難想象，沒等農(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，你可以在回答問題的時(shí)候同時(shí)把答案的相應(yīng)部分用筆標(biāo)出來，這樣的好處有兩個(gè)，一是提高準(zhǔn)確率，二是當(dāng)你覺得哪個(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判斷，不必閱讀整篇文章。下面是兩篇練習(xí)，看看你今天是否掌握了方法，一定要先做完再看答案和講解哦。Passage 4On November 18th, 1908, three men went up in a balloon.

26、與解析】這是發(fā)生在歷史上的一則歷險(xiǎn)小故事。1908 年 12 月，三個(gè)人乘坐氣球從倫敦出發(fā)，進(jìn)行了一次長(zhǎng)途旅行。為了能有效地控制氣球的重量，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。隨著氣球的升高，氣球上面結(jié)滿了冰，于是引起了一系列的麻煩。歷盡千難萬險(xiǎn)，總算化險(xiǎn)為夷。 可當(dāng)氣球升至五千多米的高空時(shí)，他們實(shí)在無法忍受嚴(yán)寒，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)人打算從倫敦出發(fā)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. 根據(jù)“ This could h

27、old water. Or it could be empty.

" 或地 理常識(shí)可斷定B 為最佳答案。4A如果氣球降落在湖上或海上，那將是很危險(xiǎn)的，聯(lián)系“They came down in Poland heavily but safely ”，可知 A 是最佳答案。5

28、 .D.答案源自最后一段中的 “ They were so cold that they decided to land. ”一句。Passage 6If you get into the forest with your friends, stay with them always. Ifyou don t, you may get lost.
