MorethanhalfofMauritiuspopulationareIndians

BritainruledtheislandlongerthanFrenchandDutch答案：小題1:B小題2:D小題3:A解析：小題1:本題考查根據(jù)上下文猜測特定詞語含義的能力。由下文“…andfiveyearslater,theFrenchcameandsucceededinplantingsugarcanethere.”可知,一國放棄之后，又一國相繼而入。小題2:本題考查對文章細節(jié)進行排列順序的能力。由“Therewerenopeople…byBritainin1818,”這段文字可知：在theDutch登上該島之前無人居住此島，theDutch放棄該島之后theFrench來了，最后又被英國占領(lǐng)。其獨立在英國占領(lǐng)之后。小題3:本題考查根據(jù)文章相關(guān)信息進行正誤判斷的能力。由第二段“Inthecentertherearevolcanoesseveralthousandfeethigh,and90%ofitsarablelandiscoveredwithsugarcane.”可知不是毛里求斯的totalarea（全部地區(qū)），而是它的itsarableland（適于耕種的地）90%種有甘蔗。8.MaybeJackhasforgottenourappointmentcompletely.I____himtocallforthepasttwohours.答案：A9.—I____toaparty,butI'vegotnothingtowear.

alsooffertwouniqueexperiences:impressiveviewsofEarthandspaceandtheendlessentertainmentoflivinginzerogravity可知。其中A項未提及，C項在第二段最后一句提到過但并非獨特體驗，D項則未提及。小題3:推理判斷題。只有A項從未提及，B項在第一段最后一句提到過，C項在第二段可以找到依據(jù)，D項則在第三段進行了詳細的介紹。小題4:主旨大意題。從全文不難得出文章主要介紹了太空旅館的情況。A項范圍太廣，B項以偏概全，C項不恰當(dāng)并非介紹兩者之間的關(guān)系。11.Thisisaphotoofthepowerstationthat______inmyhometown.
