【閱讀判斷】Despitethebadweather,troubledhealthservice,trafficcongestion（擁

擠），genderinequality,andthehighcostofliving,Irelandscoredanimpressive8.33

pointsoutof10.Q:CostoflivinginIrelandisprettyhigh.

A、True

B、False

C、NotGiven

【正確答案】A

【答案解析】答案選A。問題句說"愛爾蘭的生活費用高"。該段說"盡管氣候惡劣，

健康機構混亂，交通擁擠，性別歧視仍然存在，生活費用高，愛爾蘭所獲得的分

數(shù)仍然給人留下了深刻的印象：滿分為十分，愛爾蘭獲得了8.33分"。根據(jù)這個

致。

第9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題中說鼠標臟了，就得換用新的。這一說法與原文不符。

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

youhavetocleanyourmouse不符。所以選B。

fromthesurfaceoftheearth?

A^1pound.

B、2pounds.

C、3pounds.

D^4pounds.

【正確答案】A

【答案解析】本題問的是一磅茶如果被帶出離地球表面4000英里的地方，重量

會是多少？4000這個數(shù)字比較關鍵，因為在本段最后一句中出現(xiàn)了這個詞，一

看該句Ifyoucouldtakeaone-poundpacketofbutter4,000milesoutfromthe

earth,itwouldweighonlyaquarterofapound,只是把名詞換了一下，很顯然答案

5

就是變成原來重量的四分之一，因此正確答案是A。

【正確答案】A

【答案解析】答案選A。細節(jié)判斷題。從Thetwoweresatisfiedwitheachother

可知，相親過后，兩人對對方都很滿意，所以A選項正確，湯姆第一次見對方就

留下了很好的印象。B項所表述內容在文中找不到根據(jù)，不能判斷這是湯姆第幾

次約會。根據(jù)文章描述，湯姆只是near-sighted,遠不到盲了的地步。文章僅講

述了湯姆和某一個女孩相親的精力，對他的個人魅力以及是否受女孩歡迎并未提

及。
