C细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However,as months passed,the local people becamemore and more unhappy with the
40、ir guests,who were tricking and stealing from them.”可知,当地人对他们的客人越来越不满,因为这些客人总是欺骗他们,偷他们的东西。A、B、D 三个选项在文中没有提及。故选 C 项。2. A细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Luckily for Columbus,he had a book about thestars and planets on his ship.It described the movements of all the objects in thenight sky.”以及其后的“a total lunar eclipse”可知
41、,哥伦布是从书中了解到月全食的。故选 A 项。3.B推理判断题。根据第四段和第五段内容可知,为了让当地人给他们食物和衣服,哥伦布利用其害怕月全食的心理来骗他们。哥伦布回到船上假装与他的神讨论什么时候让月亮出来,其实哥伦布只是待在船上等待月全食结束,由此可以判断 A 项不符合文意。C 项“他读了有关恒星和行星的书”以及 D 项“他把发生的事情告诉了他的手下”原文未提及。故选 B 项。4.D推理判断题。首先 A 和 B 选项出现了绝对化的描述,即 all 和 never, 我们从文中找不到这两个选项的依据,所以排除 A、B。此外,通读全文后可知欧洲人欺骗了当地人而非崇拜他们,故 C 项不符合文意。
42、从第二段中的“who were tricking and stealing from them”可以判断欧洲人欺骗当地人,偷他们的东西,引起当地人的不满,导致了问题。故选 D 项。B语篇解读本文是一篇记叙文。创作于第一次世界大战时期的一幅宝贵的素描证实了敌对双方的战士也有友好相处的时候。这充分证明,即便在极端暴力的情况下也会有人性、希望和友善存在。5.B细节理解题。由第一段中的 “The artwork was drawn by an unnamed German soldierduring the war on the Western Front.”可知,这幅画是战争期间西线的一位不知名的德
43、国士兵画的,由此可判断这幅画是在前线创作的。所以 A 项“它是在车库里创作的”以及 C 项“它是在一场正式的足球比赛中创作的”与原文不符。注意选项 D 项“这是一个在德国作战的士兵创作的”,当时的作战地是 the Western Front,不是德国。故选 B 项。6.C推理判断题。由第二段中的 “it provides proof that the tales of enemy soldierssocialising together are true”可推断,它证明了敌兵有时也能生活在和平之中,因此这幅画的历史意义在于它能够证明双方战士有和平相处的时候。A 项“它解释了战争的具体原因”以及
44、 D 项“这是士兵能很快适应社会的证据”在文章中没有提及。根据文章内容来看,当时的战争并没有结束,这只是一次休战,因此 B 项“它表明西线的战争结束了”不符合文意。故选 C项。7.C细节理解题。由第三段中的 “To Great-grandpa they represented real people hehad known, some of whom hadnt come home from the war.”可知,有些扣子的主人没能在战争中存活下来。由第三段中的 “Great-grandpa had a tobacco tin filled with a dozenor so buttons
45、 from the uniforms of men from both sides.”可知,这些扣子来自双方士兵,因此 A 项错误。文章没有提及 B、D 两项的内容。故选 C 项。8.A推理判断题。由第四段中的 “Later, this spirit of cooperation continued inunofficial agreements between the sides to stop shooting at mealtimes and even attimes when soldiers were working in the open.”可知,后来这种合作精神在双方的非正式协议
46、中继续存在,即在吃饭时停止射击,甚至士兵在户外工作时也停止射击。可见,圣诞节休战带来了后续更多的休战。由此也可以判断 C 项“它导致双方没有达成协议”与文章不符。B 项“它开始了广泛的信息交流”以及 D 项“它导致了双方之间更多的庆祝活动”文章没有提及。故选 A 项。.语篇解读本文是一篇记叙文。文章描述了“泰坦尼克”号沉没之夜发生的事。1.E由上文的 “saw the iceberg just a few hundred metres away”和下文的“the shipwasnt straight in the water”可知,冰山近在咫尺,虽已被发现,但“泰坦尼克”号还是因速度过快撞上了
47、冰山。故选 E 项。2.F由下文的 “It also sent a radio message to warn other ships in the area.”可知,“泰坦尼克”号在撞击冰山前收到过警告。故选 F 项。3.A由文中出现的时间节点可知,“泰坦尼克”号于当晚约 11 点 40 分撞上了冰山。故选 A 项。4.C由下文的 “the Californian didnt move”可知,“加利福尼亚”号没有去营救,因为该船船长看到“泰坦尼克”号上燃放的烟火,以为他们正在举办派对。故选 C 项。5.DD 项中的“it raced to help the ship”与下文的 “the Carpathia saw the Titanics lifeboats.and rescued the survivors”相呼应。故选 D 项。
