答案及精析

PartIReadingComprehension

Passage1

1.［考点］推理判断题

【精析】B题干大意是：Marie是在几岁时变得不能说话了？根据第一段第二句

uMarie,a13-year-oldAustraliangirl,washappy.”和第二段第一、二句uAfter

Christmas,Mariegotsick.Shecoughedandcouldn7tspeak.”可知,13岁的

澳大利亚女孩儿Marie在圣诞节后生病了，她咳嗽并且说不出话。由此可推知，Marie

是在13岁时变得不能说话了。故选B。

2.［考点］推理判断题

【精析】B题干大意是：那枚丢失的硬币一直以来在哪里？根据第二段倒数第六句

“Shecoughedupsomethingsmallandblack.”和第二段倒数第二句"Adoctorat

thehospitalsaid,'Thisisacoin!r”可知，她咳出一个黑色的小东西，

医院的一位医生说：“这是一枚硬币。”由此可推知，硬
