B、ItwasthefirsttimethatTomhaddatedagirl.

C、Tomwasblind.

【正確答案】A

【答案解析】答案選A。細節(jié)判斷題。從Thetwoweresatisfiedwitheachother

可知，相親過后，兩人對對方都很滿意，所以A選項正確，湯姆第一次見對方就

留下了很好的印象。B項所表述內(nèi)容在文中找不到根據(jù)，不能判斷這是湯姆第幾

次約會。根據(jù)文章描述，湯姆只是near-sighted,遠不到盲了的地步。文章僅講

述了湯姆和某一個女孩相親的精力，對他的個人魅力以及是否受女孩歡迎并未提

及。

A、KillingPowerofAncientVolcanicEruptions

B、AccountingfortheKillingPowerofOlderEruptions

IdllingPower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。
