BritainruledtheislandlongerthanFrenchandDutch答案：小题1:B小题2:D小题3:A解析：小题1:本题考查根据上下文猜测特定词语含义的能力。由下文“…andfiveyearslater,theFrenchcameandsucceededinplantingsugarcanethere.”可知,一国放弃之后，又一国相继而入。小题2:本题考查对文章细节进行排列顺序的能力。由“Therewerenopeople…byBritainin1818,”这段文字可知：在theDutch登上该岛之前无人居住此岛，theDutch放弃该岛之后theFrench来了，最后又被英国占领。其独立在英国占领之后。小题3:本题考查根据文章相关信息进行正误判断的能力。由第二段“Inthecentertherearevolcanoesseveralthousandfeethigh,and90%ofitsarablelandiscoveredwithsugarcane.”可知不是毛里求斯的totalarea（全部地区），而是它的itsarableland（适于耕种的地）90%种有甘蔗。8.MaybeJackhasforgottenourappointmentcompletely.I____himtocallforthepasttwohours.答案：A9.—I____toaparty,butI'vegotnothingtowear.

alsooffertwouniqueexperiences:impressiveviewsofEarthandspaceandtheendlessentertainmentoflivinginzerogravity可知。其中A项未提及，C项在第二段最后一句提到过但并非独特体验，D项则未提及。小题3:推理判断题。只有A项从未提及，B项在第一段最后一句提到过，C项在第二段可以找到依据，D项则在第三段进行了详细的介绍。小题4:主旨大意题。从全文不难得出文章主要介绍了太空旅馆的情况。A项范围太广，B项以偏概全，C项不恰当并非介绍两者之间的关系。11.Thisisaphotoofthepowerstationthat______inmyhometown.
