参考答案

1.A

2.D解析：参见第二段：当你驾驶着飞行器飞行在建筑物之上时，你会觉得自己的飞行如同超人一样。

10.C解析：参见第四段。

11.B主旨大意题。

【应试指导】全篇讲述了一个舍己救人的故事，他们是救人的天使。

12.B

13.C解析：第二段。这段解释什么是冬眠。前面说的是发生在冬天睡眠的现象，最后总结这个现象就是冬眠。选项C是正确的。

14.B参考文章第三句，可知theLostSea是世界上最大的地下湖。

16.A根据第三段的强调句itisthecustomer’swhopayforadvertisement可知，正是消费者为广告付费。

17.B解析：细节推断题。根据最后一段中“Whatpositionisheseeking?Anythingthatwillpayhimaround＄35forunskilledlabor．”可得出正确答案为B。

22.B解析：此题是对主题思想的推理判断。其中concluded．．．basedonthepassage为关键词语。它要求读者避开过于细节性的选择，也不能选择过于笼统的答案，致使选项中包含的内容超越文章的范围。读者应抓住情节用排除法将与文章不相干的A(1986's工会鼎盛)，C(不关心工人福利)，D(未达成一致奋斗目标)选项排除掉。只有B项“工会经过多年(1869-1930)努力奋斗才改善了工人的工作条件”与文章内容一致。
