3、and a safe passage out of Germany. Within hours the Olympic village was surrounded by 13000 police. The Olympic Games were suspended.

9、營救被關押在以色列監獄中的巴勒斯坦人”，屬實，現在看C、D項是否更確切。C項說“德國政府憎恨以色列人”，風馬牛不相及。而D項“阿拉伯游擊隊想要一大筆錢”，顯然也不是他們的目的。現在就可確定B為正確答案無疑。2.【答案】B。【解析】根據第七句可知，奧運會賽事被中止。這不正意味著當時奧運會正在進行嗎?這樣，我們就可以來對選項進行取舍了。A項“結束了”，顯然不對。C項“即將結束”雖然也有正在進行之意，但概括得又太具體，所以也不能選。而D項“即將發生”，更不對。這樣就只剩下B項，其意為“正在進行”，正是作者的隱含看法，所以正確無疑。3.【答案】C。（北京安通學校提供）【解析】根據選項，結合問題，可知選

10、項涉及到國名。再看原文，發現第10句是關鍵句：恐怖分子被告知飛往某一個阿拉伯國家。特別注意“阿拉伯國家”五個字。好了，現在我們就可以來分析選項了。去掉不屬于阿拉伯國家的選項，就可以得出正確答案。A項“意大利”，B項“印度”，D項“尼日利亞”，都不屬于阿拉伯國家。這樣就只剩下C項，而“敘利亞”正好屬于阿拉伯國家。從此題的選擇過程中，我們可以體會到，多掌握一些英語背景知識如地理的、文化的、歷史的等等，對提高學習成績很有幫助。4.【答案】B。【解析】此題涉及到數字，要考慮到有可能進行簡單計算。先找有關細節。根據倒數第三句和第二句可以知道：(在警察實施營救時) 4個阿拉伯人被擊斃，3個被捕，1個逃跑，

11、所以有4+3+1=8個。這樣就可以一目了然地找到正確答案為B。D為干擾性較強的選項。注意在解答此類題時不要遺漏數字。5.【答案】A。【解析】解答此題應具有一定的邏輯推理能力。通讀全文，可知阿拉伯國家 (以巴勒斯坦為代表)與以色列關系緊張。A項說“他們將可能挑起另一次沖突”，與們的分析及作者的暗示相吻合。再看還有沒有更合適的選項，B項說“他們將可能開始談判”有點可能，但既然以色列剛報復過，阿拉伯、巴勒斯坦會就此罷休嗎?所以與A相比，應排除。再看C項“他們將盡量改善彼此的關系”也不合事實。而D項“他們將訴諸于聯合國”，可能性也不大。所以可斷定A為正確答案無疑。Text 6Of the tens o
