Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】D

【3】B

【解析】本文介紹了幾個(gè)國家。世界上面積最小的國家是梵蒂岡，有世界最大的教堂之一；摩納哥是人均收入最多的國家；瑙魯是世界上最小的島國，也是一個(gè)在世界上肥胖的人最多的國家；圖瓦盧位于澳大利亞東部，人口1萬多人，只有一家醫(yī)院。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)四個(gè)國家的面積比較可知，梵蒂岡最小，面積只有0.44平方公里。故答案為C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中句子“Monaco is home to the largest number of rich people per capita(人均) in the world.”可知，摩納哥是世界上人均財(cái)富最多的國家。故答案為D。

【3】推理判斷題。短文介紹了都擁有自己的“世界之最”的4個(gè)國家，因此判斷文章最有可能來自一篇旅游雜志，故答案為B。
