Passage1

【答案与解析】本文向我们介绍了有关彗星方面的学问。与地球一样，彗星也是绕太阳旋转的，它本身不发光，靠反射太阳的光而发亮。短文中还介绍了彗星的成因，它拖着的长尾巴是如何形成的以及的哈雷彗星名字的由来。

1.D。“Liketheearth,acometgoesroundthesun,but…”是推断此题的依据。

2.C。依据“…iswaterfrozenintopiecesoficeandmixedwithironandrockdustandperhapsafewbigpiecesofrock.”这句话即能得出答案。

3.D。由第五段的首句“Manypeopleperhapshaveseenacomet.”可知。

4.C。“Somecometsmoveoutofoursightandnevercomeback.Otherskeepcomingbackatregulartimes.”一句是答案的出处。

5.C。哈雷彗星每七十六年才能看到一次。再结合“…thelasttimeitcameclosetothesunandtheearthwasintheyear1986.”这句话的意思，即可得到答案。

上面的五个问题我们都可以很简单的在原文找到对应的局部，这种题实际上是最不简单出错误的，由于只要你找到了对应句，即使有个别的单词不能理解，也能够答对，下面再来试一文章，看看你的精确率哦。

【答案与解析】这篇令人忍俊不禁的幽默的主要内容是：一个农夫的牛病倒了。兽医给了他一些药和一根管子，并告知他怎么样用这根管子给牛喂药。其次天，兽医再次到农场时发觉那位农夫坐在家门口，一脸的焦虑担心。原来他的牛病情并没有好转。他说自己根据兽医的叮嘱做了，可当他将管子插入牛的嘴里，并放进两粒药丸，正想吹气时，牛却先吹了一口气。

1.D。依据短文内容，很简单推想出该词的汉语意思是“兽医”。答案固然是D。

2.D。由“She’slyingdownandwon’teat.She”smakingastrangenoise.”可以排解A和B。C明显不对。

3.C。“Hetookabottleoutofhisbox,puttwopillsintohishand…”一句是答案的出处。

4.B。由“HowshouldIgivethemtoher?”这句话可知。

5.A.依据短文最终一句话，不难想象，没等农夫吹气，牛先吹了一口气，将药丸吹到了农夫的嘴里。

做这样类型的题有一种小技巧，你可以在回答下列问题的时候同时把答案的相应局部用笔标出来，这样的好处有两个，一是提高精确率，二是当你觉得哪个答案有可能有误差的时候可以只针对那句话和它的上下文来推断，不必阅读整篇文章。

下面是两篇练习，看看你今日是否把握了方法，肯定要先做完再看答案和讲解哦。

Passage3

【答案与解析】这是发生在历的一则历险小故事。1908年12月，三个人乘坐气球从伦敦动身，进展了一次长途旅行。为了能有效地掌握气球的重量，他们在气球下方挂了一个能盛水的金属盒子，还事先携带了沙子。随着气球的上升，气球上面结满了冰，于是引起了一系列的麻烦。历尽千难万险，终于化险为夷。可当气球升至五千多米的高空时，他们实在无法忍受寒冷，结果在波兰安全降落。

1.C。由首句的1908年可知A项有误。另外，这三个人准备从伦敦动身乘气球作长距离旅行，由于天气状况不好，只好在波兰(Poland)着陆。行程达1,797公里，将近1,800公里。

2.A.依据“Thiscouldholdwater.Oritcouldbeempty.Sotheywereabletochangeitsweight.”可知，金属盒里盛的水是并非是饮用水，而是用来转变气球重量的。文中还说他们同时也带了几袋沙子来调整气球的重量。

3.B.依据“Itwentupto3,000meters,andtheairwasverycold.”或地理常识可断定B为答案。

4.A.假如气球降落在湖上或海上，那将是很危急的，联系“TheycamedowninPolandheavilybutsafely”，可知A是答案。

5.D.答案源自最终一段中的“Theyweresocoldthattheydecidedtoland.”一句。
