2022年東北大學(xué)秦皇島分校自考英語（二）

練習(xí)題匯總（附答案解析）

第1題【單選題】

【閱讀判斷】FiveneighborsatacentralMissouriretirementcommunitywhoareall

centenarians（百歲老人）getaskedallthetime：”Howdidyoulivetobe100?"Q:The

fivecentenariansliveinaveryfriendlycommunity.

A、True

B、False

C、NotGiven

【正確答案】C

【答案解析】答案選Co題目說的是〃這五位百歲老人生活在一個(gè)非常友好的社

區(qū)〃，文章開頭部分提到了"community（社區(qū)）〃，但該句并沒有說這五位百歲老人

生活的社區(qū)是否是一個(gè)友好的社區(qū)，因此判斷問題句的信息在文章中沒有提到。

第2題【單選題】

【閱讀判斷】Oneproblemwiththisdesignisthatthemousegetsdirtyastheball

rollsoverthesurfaceandpicksupdirt.Eventuallyyouhavetocleanyourmouse.Q:

Whenanordinarycomputermousegetsdirty,ithastobereplacedwithanewone.

A、True

B、False

C、NotGiven

【正確答案】B

【答案解析】答案選Bo題中說鼠標(biāo)臟了，就得換用新的。這一說法與原文不符。

原文說的是鼠標(biāo)臟了，可以擦干凈再用。ithastobereplacedwithanewone與

youhavetocleanyourmouse不符。所以選B。
