標準答案：A

知識點解析：綜觀全文，作者在文章的首句就提出了運動的本質和作用(iheessence

ofsport),隨后作者都是圍繞這一主題論述的。所以A選項是正確的(role和essence

是同義詞)，而其他三項都是事實和細節(jié)。建議考生在做主旨大意題時，最關鍵和

最有效的方法就是迅速找出文章的主題句(lopicsentence),找到了主題句就確定了

文章的主題思想。

品，獎狀”；B.summary意為“總結,概括”；C.highestpoint意為“頂點,頂峰”；

D.moumainlop意為“山頂，山峰”。通過分析和比較，判定C項為正確答案。

處。通過對比和分析就可判定B項為正確答案。

項：“在國際比賽中取得勝利的國家可以證明至少在體育運動方面是最優(yōu)秀的“是作

者的態(tài)度。

educationisgreatestin.

A、Japan

B、Italy

C、Canada

D、theUnitedStates

標準答案：A

知識點解析：該題的意思是：根據這篇文章，電視播放教育節(jié)目最多的是哪一個國

家?文章提供了以下的數(shù)字和有關信息，Japan：教育節(jié)目超過60%；Italy：教育節(jié)

目比其他國家少；Canada：娛樂節(jié)目占44%,可斷定教育節(jié)目要低于日本；the

UnitedSlates：娛樂節(jié)目占34.8%,再加上其他節(jié)目，可以推算教育節(jié)目不會超

過口木。通過分析和推理可判斷A項是正確的。

17、MorenewsinformationprogramsarebroadcastonItalianTVthananywhereelse

becausetheItalians.

A、areinterestedinwhatishappeningintheworld

B、liketoundergosocialandpoliticalchanges

C、prefertolearnnewsinformationonTVratherthaninnewspapers

D^expectTVtotellthemthelatestnewsaboutwhatisgoingonintheircountry

標準答案：D

知識點解析：該題的題意是：意大利在電視上播放的新聞節(jié)目比其他國家多的原因

是什么?通過文章提供的信息可得知：意大利是一個正處于社會政治變更的國家，

人們希望通過電視得到有關他們國家正在發(fā)生的最新消息。所以應該選擇D選

項。

18、Sofarasthebroadcastinghoursdevotedtoentertainmentareconcerned.

B、theU.S.figureissmallerthantheU.K.figure

C^theU.K.figureissecondtotheJapanesefigure

D、theCanadianfigureishigherthanthatofanyothercountry

標準答案：D

知識點解析：該題的題意是：就電視播放娛樂節(jié)目的時間而言，下列選項哪一個是

正確的。運用排除法可任A、B、C三項排除，因為這三項所給出的信息和文章的

信息有明顯的錯誤，剩下D項就是正確選項。也可以運用直接法選擇D項，文章

所提供的信息中，只有加拿大播放娛樂節(jié)目的時間最多。

19、Fromthispassage,welearnthatmostTVstationsintheworlddevotedmore

broadcastinghoursto.

A、educationalprograms

B>entertainmentprograms

C^newsinformationprograms

D、dramas,serials,music,sportsandsoon

標準答案：A

知識點解析：該題的題意是：通過本篇文章，我們知道全世界大部分電視臺播放哪

個節(jié)目的時間較多。這種題型費時并且有一定難度，就本題而言，考生做題時一定

要條理化，就是把電視節(jié)目條理化：教育節(jié)目、娛樂節(jié)目、新聞節(jié)目等。通過閱讀

可知道：大部分國家播放娛樂節(jié)目的時間不到20%,除加拿大、意大利之外，所

有國家播放教育節(jié)目的時間都超過了播放新聞節(jié)目和娛樂節(jié)目等。所以應選抒A

項educationalprograms為正確答案。

20、IntheUnitedStates,.

TVprogramsareshownfbrworldaudiencetowatch

B、mostofTVbroadcastinghoursaregiventoentertainment

C^educationalprogramsareshownduringpeakviewingtimes

D^TVbroadcastinghoursdevotedtoeducationarcmorethanthosedevotedto

entertainment

標準答案：D

知識點解析：文章中的最后一段倒數(shù)第二句：“Aftereducation,mostTVtimeis

giventoentertainment.”是本題的出處，其意思是：“排在教育節(jié)目之后的是娛樂節(jié)

目”。這句話也就是D選項的內容：TVbroadcastinghoursdevotedtoeducationare

morethanthosedevotedtoentrainmento所以D項是正確答案。
