【1】句意：關于大堡礁，下列哪項是正確的?

推理判斷題。A. It is the oldest coral reef system in the world.它是世界上最古老的珊瑚礁系；B. It is made up millions of reefs.它由數(shù)百萬個珊瑚礁組成；C. We can see it from outer space.我們可以從外太空看到它；D. It is as long as the Great Wall.它和長城一樣長；根據(jù)“ It is the largest coral reef system in the world”可知，不是最古老的，排除A；根據(jù)“Great Barrier Reef has over 900 islands and over 2,900 reefs”可知，不僅僅有珊瑚礁，排除B；根據(jù)“It is larger than the Great Wall of China. ”可知，它比長城還大，排除D；故選C。

【2】句意：根據(jù)材料，我們可以了解到關于里約熱內(nèi)盧de Janeiro港口的什么信息?

推理判斷題。根據(jù)Harbour of Rio de Janeiro第二段“The Harbour of Rio de Janeiro is around Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is famous for being the world’s largest bay（海灣）. It was first discovered in 1502.”可知，有“什么時候被發(fā)現(xiàn)”，“以……而出名”，“在哪里”；故選B。

【3】句意：Paricutin上次是什么時候爆發(fā)的?

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“ It last erupted（爆發(fā)）in 1952.”在1952年最后一次爆發(fā)，所以是大約67年前，故選C。

【4】句意：下列哪個詞可以描述維多利亞瀑布?

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“It is neither the highest waterfall nor the widest waterfall in the world, but it is the largest.”可知是最大的，故選D。
