判断题

The Momotombo volcano, 30 miles from Nicaragua’s capital, was inactive during the past century.

【正确答案】 正确
【答案解析】

把握数字并理解不同数字之间的大小包含关系。此题实际上是对理解与逻辑判断的测试,理解题干中的the past century和录音原话中的the first time in 110 years 尤其重要。正确答题需要做出简单的逻辑判断, ... erupted for the first time in 110 years 意思是说前110年火山没有爆发过,而过去的一个世纪当然在这段时间范围内,所以 当然也没有爆发过,对于火山来说就是inactive。

[重点难点]
理解录音原话中the first time in 110 years与题干中的during the past century的意义关联,即 110年虽然不是正好一个世纪,但包括了一个世纪。

[录音原文]
Nicaragua’s Momotombo volcano erupted for the first time in 110 years, spewing lava and plumes of ash into the sky. The volcano is located 30 miles from Nicaragua’s capital Managua, and it is near Leon, the country's second-largest city.
