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。與地球一樣，彗星也是繞太陽旋轉(zhuǎn)的，它本身不發(fā)光，靠反射太陽的光而發(fā)亮。短文中還介紹了彗星的成因，它拖著的長尾巴是如何形成的以及的哈雷彗星名字的由來。

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。

上面的五個問題我們都可以很簡單的在原文找到對應(yīng)的局部，這種題實際上是最不簡單出錯誤的，由于只要你找到了對應(yīng)句，即使有個別的單詞不能理解，也能夠答對，下面再來試一文章，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)場時發(fā)覺那位農(nóng)夫坐在家門口，一臉的焦慮擔(dān)心。原來他的牛病情并沒有好轉(zhuǎn)。他說自己根據(jù)獸醫(yī)的叮囑做了，可當(dāng)他將管子插入牛的嘴里，并放進兩粒藥丸，正想吹氣時，牛卻先吹了一口氣。

1.D。依據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，很簡單推想出該詞的漢語意思是“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。

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題的時候同時把答案的相應(yīng)局部用筆標(biāo)出來，這樣的好處有兩個，一是提高精確率，二是當(dāng)你覺得哪個答案有可能有誤差的時候可以只針對那句話和它的上下文來推斷，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)生在歷的一則歷險小故事。1908年12月，三個人乘坐氣球從倫敦動身，進展了一次長途旅行。為了能有效地掌握氣球的重量，他們在氣球下方掛了一個能盛水的金屬盒子，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。歷盡千難萬險，終于化險為夷?？僧?dāng)氣球升至五千多米的高空時，他們實在無法忍受寒冷，結(jié)果在波蘭安全降落。

1.C。由首句的1908年可知A項有誤。另外，這三個人準(zhǔn)備從倫敦動身乘氣球作長距離旅行，由于天氣狀況不好，只好在波蘭(Poland)著陸。行程達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，而是用來轉(zhuǎn)變氣球重量的。文中還說他們同時也帶了幾袋沙子來調(diào)整氣球的重量。

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