1．C事实细节题。第一段提到在长途的公交车旅途中，会有各种铺天盖地的广告牌映人眼帘，和C一致。而A、B、D在第一段中都没有提到。
2．A推理判断题。这篇文章的结构比较清楚，作者就是讲述自己对长途公交车旅途(开始、途中、结尾)的感受，这和A一致。作者并没有表露出说服大家乘坐长途公交车的意思，所以B不对。作者只是说长途公交旅途像电视节目，并没说明两者的不同，C也不对。第一段描述了路边的广告牌，但不是全文的主要内容，D太片面。
3．D推理判断题。第一段作者明显地表现出了对铺天盖地的广告牌的反感，而B、C文中没有提到，第二段第四句提到如果司机开车比较冒险，会是个让人兴奋的旅程，从这里可看出作者不排斥爱冒险的司机，故A也不对。
4．B事实细节题。第一段第二句提到长途公交旅途和电视节目相似的地方在于，他们都有开始、中途和结尾，并且每隔三、四分钟插上一段广告，所以选B。
5．A事实细节题。最后一段提到结束和开始的相似之处在于结束时有种期待和兴奋的感觉，这和旅途刚开始是一样的。 Passage 2
6．D事实细节题。第一段提到17世纪时因为船小、在海浪中颠簸得厉害，航海生活对于乘客和船员都非常艰苦，而A、B、C恰好与之相反，所以选D。
7．C事实细节题。第二段第一句话提到刮大风时，乘客们不得不待在甲板下面不足5英尺高的地方，而A、B、D与航海生活艰苦相悖，所以选c。
8．C事实细节题。第三段最后一句话提到由于没有蔬菜和水果，船上的人经常生病，和c相符，可以排除A。最后一段提到船员一天必须喝一瓶啤酒，而不是四听，可知B不对。D也不对，船员和乘客吃的食物一样差而少，只是为了工作需要而每天喝一瓶酒。
9．A事实细节题。最后一段提到船员们不管在什么样的天气下，都必须挂风帆和降帆，经常被大风吹到甲板上，工作十分辛苦，而B、C、D明显不对，所以选A。
10．D事实细节题。倒数第二句话提到当船终于靠岸时大家都欢呼雀跃，很兴奋。最后一句话虽然提到有些船永远不能到岸，但人们对此不感到惊奇，故C不对，所以选D。 Passage 3
11．C事实细节题。第一段后半部分提到美国每个城市都有自己的报纸，而且很少有报纸把自己定位为像英国的《泰晤士报》那样的国家级媒体，所以选C。
