WelearnedthatColumbushasdiscoveredAmericain1492.A.haddiscoveredB.discoversC.discoveredD.wasdiscovering正確答案：C[解析]本句是個主從復合句；主句用的是一般過去時，除一些特殊情況(如：客觀真理總用一般現(xiàn)在時)外，主從句應遵守時態(tài)一致的原則，因此排除選項B；根據(jù)句意，哥倫布發(fā)現(xiàn)美洲(新大陸)不是當時正在做的工作，因此排除選項D；選項A是過去完成時，選項C是一般過去時，兩者均表過去的動作，但一般過去時表示的是相對于現(xiàn)在的過去時間，而過去完成時表示的是相對于過去某一時刻的過去，即過去的過去；從句中有一個表示過去時間的狀語，所以C是答案。

2.

5.

6.

15.

Itcanbeinferredthat"Isis"and"Goldie"arethenamesoftwo______.A.placesB.teamsC.racesD.clubs正確答案：B[解析]根據(jù)文中第一段的“OxfordandCambridgeUniversityBoatClubs．”和第二段的“OnesetwillbeintheBlueBoatforeachclubandonesetwillraceasreservesinIsis，forOxford，andGoldie，forCambridge．”可以推斷出，Isis和Goldie是劃船俱樂部兩個隊的名稱，所以應該選擇B。A項“地名”，C項“賽事名稱”，A、C從兩個單詞出現(xiàn)的位置可以看出和地名、比賽名稱沒有關系；D項“俱樂部名稱”，俱樂部名稱是牛津大學和劍橋大學俱樂部，所以D不正確，所以這三項都不符合題意。

4.

Theword"it"underlinedinParagraph4refersto______.A.theyear1987B.RaceC.OxfordD.abookandamovie正確答案：A[解析]根據(jù)文中第四段的內(nèi)容可知，It在此處指代的是前面提到的theyear1987。所以正確答案是A選項。

5.

Theboldfacedword"quintet"inParagraph7refersto______.A.threepeopleB.fourpeopleC.fivepeopleD.sixpeople正確答案：C[解析]quintet的原意是“五重奏，五重唱；男子籃球隊；五位字節(jié)”，再根據(jù)文中第六段的內(nèi)容“Partofthe1986/87squadatOxfordincludedAmericanChrisClark，nowacoachatanAmericanUniversity，andfourfellowUSinternationals．”可知，quintet應該是5個人，所以應該選擇C。A項“三個人”，B項“四個人”，D項“六個人”，這三項明顯不正確。

6.

7.

9.

10.
