【解析】

1.这是一道细节题。从这四幅广告中，我们很容易发现广告A和D是招聘招待员的；B是招

广告销售公司的员工的；C是招保姆的。答案为B。

2.这是一道细节题。B广告中，A选项中各语言的speakers只是特别受欢迎，而并非只招说

这几种语言的人。B选项中与广告中£450—£1200P.W.(perweek)不符。C选项中与广告

中的"forintelligentyoungpeople"相矛盾。答案为D。

3.这是一道细节题。可用排除法去做，根据广告中的信息，A选项中的九个月工作经验并未

被提及，B项中会德语和法语者优先，而并不是最重要的，D与原文不符。故答案为C。

1.这是一道细节题。从第一段中拥有“AssociateDegreev的人同只拥有“HighSchool

个在家学习，获得“SpecializedAssociateDegree”的机会。因此，很多高中生为了生计，

会依广告中宣传的去做。答案为C。

2.这是一道细节题。考生可以在第二段最后一句话中找到Accounting,Bookkeeping和

Photographyo因而排除了Physiology<,答案为B。

3.这是一道细节题。从第二段第二句话可知，人们利用业余时间的学习来取得Specialized

AssociationDegree的。答案为C。

4.这是一道细节题。从Youreducationisnationallyrecognized!这一段第一句话可知，

四个选项中只有选项B中的HarvardUniversity没有雇用该校的毕业生。故答案为B。

5.这是一道细节题。从广告最后提供的电话号码和email网址可知，可以通过e-mail

得到Direct。答案为A。

3.Whichisthebesttitleforthepassage?

A.NewPlanetsearchingTechnique

B.NewDistantDiscovery

C.SpaceSearching

D.DreamPlanet

【解析】

1.此题考查考生进行推理判断的能力。文中第一段最后作者提到的ironfog只是一种比喻，

来表明这颗行星温度之高，并不能由此推断它的上面有铁。A是不成立的。文中第一句话：

如你梦想着去一个温暖的地方以躲避寒冷的冬季，那么到新近发现的一个行星上去会让你立

刻暖和起来。这句话是为了引起下文，不能作为推断的依据，因此，B选项错误。D选项说

科学家们正在研究这颗新星上的天气情况，文中没有提及。文中第二段：科学家们用一种叫

做transittechnique的新方法发现了这颗新星。这颗星围绕一颗类似太阳的恒星运转。当

它转到这颗恒星前面时，使得恒星的光变暗，这时他们就能看见它了。C选项：这颗恒星会

阻挡我们的视线，使我们看不到新星。这个推断是正确的。答案为C。

2.其中的D选项与上题观点一致，也就是用来发现新星。答案为D。

3.这道题考查考生概括文章主旨大意的能力。对于这类题，最好的方法就是用假设的方法去

判断。因为标题应该在最大程度上覆盖全文。此篇文章主要围绕这颗新星的发现展开。答案

为B。

【解析】

1.这是一道是非判断题。应该注意题干要求的是“nottrue”。根据文章提供的信息，A、B、

D分别在第四段atemperatures•••falltoalmostzero"。第三段"citiesontheAfrican

coast…destroyed"。第四段“Warsbreakout…”中可以证实是comet到来后的结果,而

C选项中，“Thewhole…becomesextinct”与第四段中的aNomorethan10millionpeople

havesurvived"相矛盾。答案为Co

2.这是一道猜测作者写作意图题。为了证明这种灾难发生的可能性，作者举了恐龙的例子。

它们曾经在地球上生活了1亿6千万年，但是在65,000,000年前突然消失了。以此证明未

来地球上可能发生灾难。答案为C。

3.这是一道猜测作者写作意图题。在这篇短文中，作者讲述了在2094年慧星碎片撞击地球

后可能产生的灾难，其目的是警告人们在地球上未来可能会发生灾难。答案为D。

4.这是一道推断题。根据短文讲述的内容可以判断，这是一篇科幻小说。所以它可能是某篇

科普文章的一部分。答案为Do
