试题分值:25.0 得分:[5, 5, 5, 5, 5]
提示:[1]D.细节题。本题问“为什么大臣迟到了?”中心词是“Minister late”。答案在第三段。该段大意是“‘哦,没什么严重的事情’大臣回答道。‘我们上司忘记带信了,所以他就回宾馆取信去了。如果他把信件遗留在巴西的话,那我们可要等上至少六个月了。’”据此,可知本题答案是D。
[2]A.细节题。本题问“那个大臣的上司把信忘记在什么地方了?”中心词是“head”和“letters”。答案在第三段,该段大意请参考第一题。答案是A。
[3]A.细节题。本题问“为何那个年轻女士叫了起来?”中心词是“the young lady shout”。答案在最后一段,该段大意是“女士们、先生们,你们听说了最新的消息了吗?一个叫哥伦布的人不久刚发现了一个新世界。”据此,可知答案是A(她想告诉大家这个惊人的信息)。B的意思是“她是舞会的女主人”,C的意思是“她认识那个大臣”,D的意思是“她从没听说过哥伦布”。 [4]B.推断题。本题问“她的叫喊表明她_______。”推断题一般需要我们先浏览一下选项。A的意思是“聪明的”,B的意思是“知识缺乏的”,C的意思是“无思想的,笨的”,D的意思是“有见识的”。根据第三题的解释我们可以看出这名女士对哥伦布发现新大陆(新大陆是15世纪末发现的,而本文的背景是18世纪)的这种大事都不知道,可见其缺乏知识。据此,答案是B。
[5]C.中心思想题。本题让我们给文章选个最好的标题。我们可以先浏览每个段落的第一句话。第一段就是一句话,该句大意是“十八世纪的意大利少女,她们的历史知识、地理知识一般来说非常贫乏。”读到这里,我们应该可以知道这样的一个句子明显就是文章大意的概括,所以题目就要和此相关。当然,你也可以再继续读几段,你会发现文章出现了一名女士和一位意大利大臣之间的对话。最终,我们选择C(一个无知的意大利女性)。
