3、peredbottleswithCoca Cola ， shippingthem by wagon and boat to thesmalltowns along the Mississippi River. His business grew quickly：the bottled coke was so popularthat biedenharnwas forcedto move his bottlingplantto a largerbuilding. Luonically， thefirstbottling operation was viewed as a curiosity by

4、 the Coca-Cola company. Biedenharn sent then hisfirst two cases， he was politely thanked and then just as politely ignored.1。 Why did Joe Biedenharn decide to ship Coca-Cola to the country?A. Because there are too many shops selling Coca-Cola.B. Because Coca-Cola is overproduced.C. Those in the coun

5、try do not have easy access to the Cola.D. Joe Biedenharn wanted to do charity work.答案：C考點：該題是細節(jié)詢問題。解析：本題提問的是Joe Biedenharn為什么決定把可口可樂運送到鄉(xiāng)下。通過文章的前三句我們可以得知，上個世紀之交之前，住在城市里的或者鎮(zhèn)子里的人們在炎熱的夏天可以喝上一杯可樂來振作精神。發(fā)明于 19 世紀 90 年代的可口可樂在美國成千上萬的雜貨店和糖果店都有銷售。但是，住在鄉(xiāng)下的人們每次想喝可樂或者蘇打水的時候，卻不是非常容易地就能到城里喝上一杯的。第四句話講到：因此，JoeBieden

6、harn 決定把可樂帶到鄉(xiāng)下。這個題的關(guān)鍵詞是so ，用它開頭，表明上面一句就是它的原因。所以本題答案為C。 ( 在鄉(xiāng)下住的人不容易喝到可樂) 。2. According to the passage ， which of the following statements is true? A. Coca-Cola was invented in Atlanta in the 1890s.B. Joe Biedenharn first shipped his bottled Coca-Cola to Vicksberg Mississippi.C. The wire-stoppered bot

7、tles didnt preserve the Coca-Cola well.D. At the time of Joe Biedenharn，Coca-Cola was an international company.答案：B考點：該題是判斷題，考的是通過對原文事實的理解，判斷所給的幾個選項哪一個正確。解析： 本題提問的是以下哪一個是符合原文的說法。這個問題的答案含于文章第四句和第五句; 即 JoeBiedenharn最早把把他的瓶裝可樂用貨車和船只沿著密西西比河運到小鎮(zhèn)里。因此，我們可以得知，可口可樂是于 19世紀 90 年代發(fā)明于 Alaonta 的，而不是發(fā)明于 Atlanta 的，

8、所以，選項 A 不符合原文的內(nèi)容。選項 C(以金屬絲作瓶蓋的瓶子不能很好保存可樂) 并未在原文提起，所以也不能入選。選項D也不正確，因為當(dāng)時是可口可樂公司成立伊始，在美國的鄉(xiāng)下都買不到，更不用說它是一個國際公司了。由此可見，本題答案為B。3. Which of the following can we infer from the passage?A. The Coca-Cola company stole Joe Biededharns ideas.B. Joe Biedenharn finally wint bankrupt because of poor management at hi

9、s plant.C. Joe Biedenharn eventually sold his business.D. Joe Biedenharn business was very successful.答案：D考點：該題是一個判斷分析題，考的是通過對原文細節(jié)的掌握，找出哪一個選項可以從原文中推斷出來。解析：本題提問的是以下哪一個選項可以在原文中推斷出來。由全文的倒數(shù)第二句我們可以看出，JoeBiedenharn的生意發(fā)展迅速，他的公司也就不得不從瓶裝廠移到一座大樓里，由此可見，選項D(JoeBiedenharn的生意非常成功 ) 為本題的正確選項。其他三個選項分別為：A( 可口可樂公司偷竊了

10、JoeBiedenharn的生意 ) ，B(Joe Biedenharn 的廠子終因經(jīng)營不善而破產(chǎn)) 和 C(Joe Biedenharn 出售了他的商店) 。它們既沒在原文中提到，又沒有隱含在原文中，所以，都不能入選。4. Which of the following is similar in meaning to the word“view” in the last sentence?A. preview B. review C. seen D. rate答案： C考點：該題是一個詞匯題，考的是如何通過上下文確定詞義。解析：本題提問的是最后一句話中的單詞view 為何意。該詞所在句子的意

11、思是：Biedenharn的第一次瓶子作業(yè)使可口可樂公司的人對此大為好奇，這真是太具有諷刺意義了。也就是說，可口可樂公司的人用好奇的眼光看待這件事情。所以，選項C 最符合上下文，困此是本題答案。5. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Coca-Cola Company.B. A Coca-Cola Story.C. The Invention of coca-Cola.D. The Origin of Coca-Cola Company.答案：B考點：該題是一個主旨題。解析：本題提問的是本文最恰當(dāng)?shù)?/p>

12、標題是哪一個?；卮疬@個問題，我們需要把握文章的大體內(nèi)容。該篇文章講的是，可口可樂公司開始創(chuàng)建時鄉(xiāng)下人喝可樂難這個事實引發(fā)了Joe Biedenharn 的新主意，即把可口可樂公司運到鄉(xiāng)下。實踐證明，他的這一舉動是成功的。這是一個關(guān)于可口可樂的故事，所以，最恰當(dāng)?shù)念}目應(yīng)該是 B。Passage 2.It s a day to cel ebrate ， a time to educate ， and a way to make a difference.

18、ean investments.1. April 22nd， 2000 is the _ years anniversary of the Earth Day.A. 30th B. 20th C. 10th D. 100th答案：A考點：該題考的是如何找出數(shù)字表示的細節(jié)。解析：提問的是 2000 年 4 月 22 日是地球日的多少周年紀念日?；卮鹩脭?shù)字表示的細節(jié)時，需要進行簡單計算。從原文的第一段我們可以知道，地球日最早1970 年 4 月 22 日在美國開始。剛好是30 年紀念日。所以，選項A 為本題的答案。2. _ originated the Earth Cay.A. College s

19、tudents. B. Policy makers. C. Ordinary people.D. Denis Hayes.答案：C考點：該題是一個就文章事實進行提問的細節(jié)詢問題。解析：本題提問的是地球日是由誰發(fā)起的。這個問題答案需在第三段里找出。該段第一句告訴我們，地球日是群眾自發(fā)活動，并由社會機構(gòu)支持的。學(xué)生領(lǐng)袖Denis Hayes 和威斯康星州議員Gaylord Nelson 是第一次活動的主要組織者 ;200 多萬市民聚集起來，呼吁干凈的水源和空氣。各個年齡階層的人都參加了這次集會，大學(xué)生在這次活動中是主要力量，但是我們不能確切地說地球日的成功歸為哪一部分人。由這一段話的意思我們可以得

20、知，地球日的創(chuàng)建是集體的結(jié)果，并不是由哪一個人創(chuàng)建的。所以，正確答案是C。3. Which of the following is the immediate effect of the first Earth Day? A. The Environmental Protection Agency was founded.B. Congressional Protection for water was passed.C. There are more demonstrations followed.D. Denis Hayer published his Clean Energy Now.答

21、案：B考點：該題是對文章的一個主要事實的判斷分析題。解析：本題提問的是以下哪一個是第一個地球日的直接影響所致。該題的答案含在文章的第四段中。這段話的意思是一個地球日極為成功，國會因此而通過了對空氣，水，受害生物保護法; 游行的勢頭也推動了環(huán)保機構(gòu)的成立。由此可見，它直接影響的是B( 國會通過了水保護法); 因此，答案為B。4. Which of the following is not the goal of Earth Day 2000?A. clean airB. clean waterC. clean automobilesD. clean investment.答案：B考點：該題基于文

22、章內(nèi)容判斷的細節(jié)詢問題。解析： 本題提問的是以下哪一個不是 2000 年地球日的目標。 所給的四個答案分別為： A(空氣凈化 ) ，B(水凈化 ) ，C(汽車凈化 ) 和 D(投資凈化 ) 。通過原文最后一句我們可以知道， 2000 年地球日的目標是汽車凈化，能源凈化，空氣凈化和投資凈化。由此可知，只有選項B 不屬于其內(nèi)容。所以，B 為本題答案。5. Earth Day is a day to _.A. increase fossil fuels B. purify the waterC. solve social issues D. protect environment.答案：D考點：該題

23、考的是通過文章的主題思想對所給選項作出判斷。解析： 本題提問的是地球日是什么日子。從全文第一段的最后一句我們可以知道，源于美國的地球日今天是所有關(guān)心環(huán)境問題的人們關(guān)注的焦點。而且，整篇文章也從地球日的起因起及其所產(chǎn)生的一系列影響告訴我們，它是一個保護環(huán)境的日子。所以，正確答案為D。Passage 3 。Hillary Rodham Clinton released the first television spot of her Senate campaign this morning，a 30-second commercial thatwill beginairingstatewideon

24、 Thursday.The spot ， titled“First ”，uses numerous stillphotosto highlightlandmar ks in Mrs. Clinton scareer ， whilethevoiceoversays she is “more than a first lady.”There is no mentionof Mrs. Clinton s rivalfor New Yorks Senate seat ， New YorkMayor RudolphGiuliani.Clinton campaign spokesman Howard Wo

Whatdoes the word“air ” in the first sentence mean?A. dry B. express. C. breathe. d. broadcast.答案：D考點：該題是一個詞匯題。解析： 本題提問的是第一段中的 air 是

28、什么意思。由這句話我們可以得知， 希拉里今天早晨發(fā)表了她競選紐約議員的電視宣傳 ; 為時 30 分鐘的電視宣傳將于星期二開始進行全國播放。由該句的意思我們可以猜出air的意思是 播放 。所以答案為D。2. What does“more thanfirst lady in the first paragraph suggest?A. Hillary is not a first lady.B. Hillary does much more than what a first lady is expected to do.C. There are more women in America who

29、 does better than Hillary does.D. Hillary is doing better than her husband.答案：B考點：這是一個理解判斷題。解析：本題提問的是第一段里more than first lady是什么意思。在世界各地，第一夫人作為國家元首的妻子，是一國之母，也的形象一般是一個幫助總統(tǒng)處理好家務(wù)，并且進行一些婦女活動和慈善事業(yè)，借此來提高元首的形象。但是，希拉里作為第一夫人，她所做的超出了第一夫人的職責(zé)。她不但在社會活動中經(jīng)常露臉，而且直接參與政事，開始競選起議員來了。所以，選項B 應(yīng)該是該題答案。3. Which of the follo

30、wingstatementis trueregardingthe Senatorcampaign accordingthe passage?A. Hillary has appeared on TV shot for numerous times.B. Hillary rarely makes her public appearance.C. Giuliani has made TV advertisement for himself.D. Hillary has a bigger chance to win the campaign.答案：C考點：這是一個對原文事實的理解題。解析：本題提問的

31、是對此參議院競選，以下哪一個說法是正確的。文章的第四段告訴我們，希拉里以前曾經(jīng)在廣播上作過宣傳; 與她不同的是， giuliani已作過全國電視宣傳。由該段可知， 選項 C 是正確答案。從文章的第一句話我們可以得知。這是希拉里第上次在電視上為自己作宣傳，所以，選項A和 B不符合原文; 此次議員競選，花落誰手尚未見分明，所以，選項D 也不能入選。4. Hillarys campaign focuses on all the following except _.A. childrens health care.B. school education for children.C. combati

32、ng child abuse.D. family planning policy.答案：D考點：這是一個對原文細節(jié)的分析判斷題。解析：本題提問的是以下哪一個不是希拉里的競選重點。希拉里的競選廣告在文章的最后幾段里：它的重點是學(xué)校教育; 作者評論道，在過去的30 年里，希拉里一直都在為兒童和家庭幸福斗爭。將來當(dāng)了紐約的參議員，她會為孩子們的良好教育和健康保險而努力; 由此我們可以得知，選項A( 兒童健康保險 ) ，B(兒童的學(xué)校教育 ) 和 C(打擊虐待兒童現(xiàn)象) 都是她的競選重點，只有選項D(計劃生育政策 ) 與原文不合，所以D 是本題答案。5. Which of the following

33、can best serve as the title of this passage? A. First Lady s Senator Campaign.B. Hillary s TV Advertisement.C. A Rivalry for New Yorks Senate Seat.D. The Focuses of Hillary Campaign.答案：A考點：該題是一個主旨題，考的是文章的題目應(yīng)該是哪一個。解析：本文從第一夫人希拉里克林頓為其入選紐約參議員拉開序幕講起，對目前的競選狀況作了一個大概介紹， 并且對希拉里的競選內(nèi)容作了一個介紹，同時，作者表達他自己的觀點; 整篇文章

34、以介紹她的競選情況為主，所以，選項A( 第一夫人競選參議員) 用以概括全文最為全面，為正確答案。Passage 4The latest version of the “Love Bug” computer virus failed to cause nearly as much harm as its predecessor because companies remained on alert.The new virus ， dubed “NewLove”， slowly spreadacross the worldover the past two days ，infectingthous

39、re harmfull to the computer world than“NewLove” virus.答案：C考點：該題是一個詢問題，考的是對 愛蟲 病毒的理解。解析：本題提問的是就 愛蟲 病毒而言，以下哪一個不正確。從文章的第一句話我們可以得知，最近，計算機病毒 愛蟲 的一種新形式帶給全球的危害不像先前的 愛蟲 那么嚴重，因為各個公司已經(jīng)有所提防。全文最后一段告訴我們， 愛蟲 病毒只毀壞一小部分文件，包括一些圖表文件，但是， 新歡 病毒則會破壞整個計算機系統(tǒng)。由此可見，選項A，B和 D都是正確 ; 而選項 C是 新歡 所為，并不是 愛蟲 所為。這一點明確陳述在第六段的第二句中，所以答案為C。2.
