∙C.thebattleshipMissouri.
∙D.didn'tmention.

A.
B.
C. √
D.
解析:
事实细节题。
由第一段最后一句:
ThegreatceremonyonthebattleshipMissouri...可以看出,仪式是在“密苏里”号战舰上举行的;再从文章后面的内容可知,这里的“仪式”即为签署停战协议的仪式。
所以,选项C是答案。
A、B在第二段第二句提到,但从该处可知它们只是美国的两艘战舰,不是协议签署的地点,故排除。
(2).Inthesecondparagraph,"Atatteredflagwiththirty-onestars"isof
∙A.USS.
∙B.theinfantUSA.
∙C.today'sUSA.
∙D.thegreatestfleet.
(分数:
5.00)
A.
B. √
C.
D.
解析:
事实细节题。
由文中第二段第三句破折号后的内容可知,Atatteredflagwiththirty-onestars是美国共和国开创时的国旗(theflagoftheinfantrepublic),而不是美国现在的国旗。
因此B正确,C错误。
由常识可知therepublic显然不是指的USS或thegreatfleet,故排除A、D。
(3).WhenportrayingUmezuandShingemitsu,theauthorfocusedonallthefollowingEXCEPT
∙A.facialexpression.
∙B.appearance.
∙C.motions.
∙D.inneractivity.
(分数:
5.00)
A.
B.
C.
D. √
解析:
事实细节题。
由文中第三段第二句至第四句可知,梅津美治郎hiseyesblank描写的是面部表情;重光葵wasdressedinatallsilkhatand...,描写的是外表;clutchedtheropesandstruggled...,描写的是动作。
作者没有描写两人的心理活动,所以选D。
(4).Bysaying"andpeace,ifpeaceitwas,hadcome",theauthorimpliedthat
∙A.hevaluedthesignatureceremony.
∙B.hewassureofthepeacecoming.
∙C.hesuspectedthatthesignaturemeanttherealendofwar.
∙D.hebelievedthesignatureceremonywouldbringpeace.
(分数:
5.00)
A.
B.
C. √
D.
解析:
观点态度题。
作者在文章结尾写到andpeace,ifpeaceitwas,hadcome,意思是“如果说这就是和平,那么和平已经来临了”,用的是条件句,表明了作者有点不确信的态度。
所以,选项C是答案。
A、B与原文意思相反,D在文中没有具体现。

推理推断题。
文章第一段说,安东尼从起床之后一直到钻进被窝睡觉,可以连续玩14个小时的“游戏小子”或“PlayStation2”;在第二段又提到,他的妹妹一旦开始玩“游戏小子”,就很难让她停下来。
由此推断,D正确。
A“视频游戏只为男孩设计”、B“女孩通常不喜欢视频游戏”均与文意不符;C文章未提及。
(2).Welearnfromthepassagethatinthisholidayseason
∙A.itishardtofindtraditionaltoysinthemarket.

C. √
D.
解析:
事实细节题。
第四段首句提到,在每个假期,玩具商都会推出一些抢手的玩具,但是今年却至今未见火爆产品。
因此选项C“没有火爆的玩具上市”正确。
A“在市场上找不到传统玩具”、B“玩具制造商正计划设计火爆玩具”均与上述句子不符;该段第二句只提到Furby是以前很流行的一种游戏,故D的说法也不正确。
(3).Thesalesofconstructionsetsaredecreasingbecause
∙A.theyarenothealthytoysforchildren.
∙B.theyareveryweakandeasilybroken.
∙C.theyarehardtofindonshelvesoftoystores.
∙D.theyareaimedatboyswhoareeasilyattractedbythevideogames.
(分数:
5.00)
A.
B.
C.
D. √
解析:
推理判断题。
由题干关键词constructionsets,将信息定位于第四段第四句。
该句说,像组装玩具和活动玩偶这些针对男孩子的玩具卖得最差,因为男孩子们是受视频游戏影响最深的群体。
由此可知,男孩子去玩视频游戏是组装玩具销量下降的原因,故D正确。
其他三项原文均未提及。
(4).Whathasbeenbotheringtoymakersforalmosttenyears?
∙A.TheInternetaddiction.
∙B.Thetrendofagecompression.
∙C.Thesalesofactionfigures.
∙D.ThenewgenerationofGameBoy.
(分数:

A.
B. √
C.
D.
解析:
事实细节题。
文章第五段说,孩子们的口味越来越刁,对技术也越来越懂行,这种被称作“年龄压缩”的趋势使玩具制造公司寝食不安至少已达10年之久;因此B正确。
A“对因特网的沉溺”是对第五段第二句的错误理解;C“活动玩偶的销售”与D“‘戏小子’的新一代产品”都不是使玩具制造公司苦恼的原因。
(5).Itispredictedthatinthisseasonthepopulartoyswouldbe
∙A.hotnewgameHalo2fortheXbox.
∙B.artsandcraftsanddolls.
∙C.actionfiguresdesignedforboysagedfrom4to6.
∙D.toysthatintegratevideogamingwithDVDtechnologies.
(分数:
5.00)
A.
B.
C.
D. √
解析:
事实细节题。
由题干中的predicted和popular,将信息定位于尾段首句。
该处提到,这个假期预计会有良好销售表现的是那些集视频游戏和DVD技术于一体的玩具,故D正确。
其他三项在文中都有被提及,但不是题干问及的对象。
