older”矛盾；D選項文中沒有提及。答案為B。

【解析】

1.這是一道細(xì)節(jié)題。從這四幅廣告中，我們很容易發(fā)現(xiàn)廣告A和D是招聘招待員的；B是招

廣告銷售公司的員工的；C是招保姆的。答案為B。

2.這是一道細(xì)節(jié)題。B廣告中，A選項中各語言的speakers只是特別受歡迎，而并非只招說

這幾種語言的人。B選項中與廣告中￡450—￡1200P.W.(perweek)不符。C選項中與廣告

中的"forintelligentyoungpeople"相矛盾。答案為D。

3.這是一道細(xì)節(jié)題?？捎门懦ㄈプ?，根據(jù)廣告中的信息，A選項中的九個月工作經(jīng)驗并未

被提及，B項中會德語和法語者優(yōu)先，而并不是最重要的，D與原文不符。故答案為C。

【解析】

1.這是一道細(xì)節(jié)題。從第一段中擁有“AssociateDegreev的人同只擁有“HighSchool

Diploma”的人年收入的差距看出，學(xué)歷在人的工作中的重要性，第二段就提出可以提供一

個在家學(xué)習(xí)，獲得“SpecializedAssociateDegree”的機(jī)會。因此，很多高中生為了生計，

會依廣告中宣傳的去做。答案為C。

2.這是一道細(xì)節(jié)題。考生可以在第二段最后一句話中找到Accounting,Bookkeeping和

Photographyo因而排除了Physiology<,答案為B。

3.這是一道細(xì)節(jié)題。從第二段第二句話可知，人們利用業(yè)余時間的學(xué)習(xí)來取得Specialized

AssociationDegree的。答案為C。

4.這是一道細(xì)節(jié)題。從Youreducationisnationallyrecognized!這一段第一句話可知，

四個選項中只有選項B中的HarvardUniversity沒有雇用該校的畢業(yè)生。故答案為B。

5.這是一道細(xì)節(jié)題。從廣告最后提供的電話號碼和email網(wǎng)址可知，可以通過e-mail

得到Direct。答案為A。

A.NewPlanetsearchingTechnique

C.SpaceSearching

D.DreamPlanet

【解析】

1.此題考查考生進(jìn)行推理判斷的能力。文中第一段最后作者提到的ironfog只是一種比喻，

來表明這顆行星溫度之高，并不能由此推斷它的上面有鐵。A是不成立的。文中第一句話：

如你夢想著去一個溫暖的地方以躲避寒冷的冬季，那么到新近發(fā)現(xiàn)的一個行星上去會讓你立

刻暖和起來。這句話是為了引起下文，不能作為推斷的依據(jù)，因此，B選項錯誤。D選項說

科學(xué)家們正在研究這顆新星上的天氣情況，文中沒有提及。文中第二段：科學(xué)家們用一種叫

做transittechnique的新方法發(fā)現(xiàn)了這顆新星。這顆星圍繞一顆類似太陽的恒星運轉(zhuǎn)。當(dāng)

它轉(zhuǎn)到這顆恒星前面時，使得恒星的光變暗，這時他們就能看見它了。C選項：這顆恒星會

阻擋我們的視線，使我們看不到新星。這個推斷是正確的。答案為C。

2.其中的D選項與上題觀點一致，也就是用來發(fā)現(xiàn)新星。答案為D。

3.這道題考查考生概括文章主旨大意的能力。對于這類題，最好的方法就是用假設(shè)的方法去

判斷。因為標(biāo)題應(yīng)該在最大程度上覆蓋全文。此篇文章主要圍繞這顆新星的發(fā)現(xiàn)展開。答案

為B。

A.horrorstoryB.newsreportC.researchpaperD.articleofpopularscience

【解析】

1.這是一道是非判斷題。應(yīng)該注意題干要求的是“nottrue”。根據(jù)文章提供的信息，A、B、

D分別在第四段atemperatures???falltoalmostzero"。第三段"citiesontheAfrican

coast…destroyed"。第四段“Warsbreakout…”中可以證實是comet到來后的結(jié)果,而

C選項中，“Thewhole…becomesextinct”與第四段中的aNomorethan10millionpeople

havesurvived"相矛盾。答案為Co

2.這是一道猜測作者寫作意圖題。為了證明這種災(zāi)難發(fā)生的可能性，作者舉了恐龍的例子。

它們曾經(jīng)在地球上生活了1億6千萬年，但是在65,000,000年前突然消失了。以此證明未

來地球上可能發(fā)生災(zāi)難。答案為C。

3.這是一道猜測作者寫作意圖題。在這篇短文中，作者講述了在2094年慧星碎片撞擊地球

后可能產(chǎn)生的災(zāi)難，其目的是警告人們在地球上未來可能會發(fā)生災(zāi)難。答案為D。

4.這是一道推斷題。根據(jù)短文講述的內(nèi)容可以判斷，這是一篇科幻小說。所以它可能是某篇

科普文章的一部分。答案為Do
