Question

Passage 1  Mobile Phone Madness
How much do you love your mobile phone? A Chinese student had to call 110 for help this week after he got his arm stuck in a toilet trying to rescue(援救) his mobile phone. After dropping his phone in the toilet, he decided to wrap(包，裹) his arm in newspaper in the hopes of keeping clean. But the newspapers became larger in size in the water, and then even his roommates couldn’t help him pull his arm out. So policemen were called and they spent an hour unsticking the stuck student.
Passage 2  Crazy Pet Lovers
How much do you love your pets? Many people in China are famous for how much they love their pets. They dress them up in fashionable clothing and buy them high quality food. But would they spend 7,000 English pounds (68,000 yuan) on a wedding(婚禮) for their pets? And that’s what a couple in Brazil spent on a fancy wedding for their pet Yorkshire terriers( a kind of dog).
Passage 3  Oh, rats!
When something goes wrong, you can often hear Westerners cry “Oh, rats”. But when it comes to Southern China, “Oh, rats!” can mean it’s what you want for dinner. According to a report in China Daily, some restaurants in Guangzhou serve rat meat. But, actually, most of those rats are field mice. What would Mickey Mouse say?
Passage 4  Liar(說謊者), liar
Here’s some news that most women already know. Men tell more lies than women. The London Daily Mail cites(引用) a new study that says men tell about three lies a day, while women tell only two lies a day. Men are also less likely to feel guilty about lying, according to this week’s survey of 3,000 people by a research organization called One Poll. According to the Poll, lying to our mothers is very popular. But then, so is lying at work. And both men and women will lie when it comes to how much they’ve drunk. So how easy is it to tell when someone is lying?

Answer 1

ACDCC
1. A 此題是排序題，按時間來排。根據(jù)故事，很明顯首先是手機掉廁所里，再他嘗試用報紙裹手試圖去撈手機，結(jié)果報紙吸水變大他的手被卡住，他同學(xué)拉他上來也失敗，最后只好求救于警察，故選A。
2. C 此題是找原因，從下文would they spend 7,000 English pounds (68,000 yuan) on a wedding(婚禮) for their pets可知他們的瘋狂，故選C。
3. D 此題答案來源于文章3，“Oh, rats!” can mean it’s what you want for dinner可知D符合題意。
4. C 細(xì)節(jié)題的考查。文章4說According to the Poll, lying to our mothers is very popular. But then, so is lying at work，故lying to our mothers的比lying at work的更受歡迎，C錯。
5. C 也是細(xì)節(jié)題的考查。文章說到廣東吃老鼠的事情，但沒說中國人喜歡吃老鼠，結(jié)論過于片面。A,B,D文章都有提到。選C。
