单选题 Which of the following magazines will probably provide you with articles about music and paintings?
  • A. Apollo.
  • B. The Week.
  • C. New Internationalist.
  • D. The Guardian Weekly.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解题指要] 本题考查的是对细节的把握能力。篇幅较长的应用文，如广告，可采用“逆读法”：先读理解题，从中把握题干与选项所含重要信息，然后从短文中查找相关内容，快速找到信息点，以增强解题的针对性。该题可以从文章第一段第一句For lovers of the arts得出答案。题干中提到的music and paintings都属于艺术范畴，故A选项最符合题意。
单选题 It is possible that most of the readers of the four magazines are ______.
  • A. men
  • B. women
  • C. children
  • D. grown-ups
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解题指要] 本题考查的是对推断设问的把握能力。所谓推断设问是指考查理解文章暗含意思与推理能力的题型设计。干扰项的设计思路一般有两个：(1)把文章的引入写法看成一种正文的陈述，设计出的选项涉及的内容超过文章的讨论范围，如本题的C选项children。(2)利用考生可能出现的主观想象，设计出代替文中实际信息的干扰项，如本题的A选项men以及B选项women。A、B、C选项文中都未涉及，故选D“成年人”。
单选题 The purpose of writing these four texts is to ______.
  • A. tell the readers the latest news
  • B. get more readers to subscribe (订阅)
  • C. show the importance of the four magazines
  • D. introduce the four magazines to new readers
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解题指要] 本题考查的是对推断设问的把握能力。该题A选项tell the readers the latest news“告诉读者最新消息”，文章并未提及，故不用；C选项show the importance of the four magazines“说明这四份杂志的重要性”，但文章除了介绍其各自特点外，还提供其各自的价格等信息，显然C选项过于笼统。D选项introduce the four magazines to new readers“将这四份杂志介绍给新读者”，但该篇文章并未提及“新”读者。B选项get more readers to subscribe“力求扩大订阅量”最符合文义。
