Question

【題目】 Imagine a perfect day: the weather is good and everything seems fine. When, suddenly, your mobile phone loses its signal, the television has no programs, and you can’t get online with your computer.

What has happened? These are just the types of problems a solar storm（太陽(yáng)風(fēng)暴）might cause. You may not think of storms as putting our society in danger. But today, a solar storm is as serious as other bad events, such as earthquakes.

A solar storm is caused by solar flares（太陽(yáng)耀斑）: large explosions（爆炸) near the sun that can give off lots of energy. The strong energy can stop the satellite systems（衛(wèi)星系統(tǒng)）that control our computers, telecom networks and so on. These storms can even cause the power to go out for weeks or months.

In the past of months, scientists have recorded some of the strongest sun flares in years. The most recent one happened around Valentine's Day, 2011. It caused radio and satellite signals to go down in some northern cities in China.

“Solar Flare activity is going to be much worse than what we’ve seen in the past. We’re not talking about a few cities losing power. It could be half of the country, maybe more.” SolarStormWarning. com, a US website about space weather, warned.

Scientists say that little can be done to predict such a storm. Governments around the world are trying to work together before the next storm, although they are not sure when that may happen.

【1】According to the passage, a solar storm can cause many problems EXCEPT that________.

【4】C

【解析】

文中大意：短文主要介紹了什么是太陽(yáng)風(fēng)暴及其造成的后果。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中提到的"your mobile phone loses its signal"；"you can't get online with your computer"，以及"These storms can even cause the power to go out for weeks or months．"可知，選項(xiàng) B、C、D 均是太陽(yáng)風(fēng)暴可能造成的后果，而 A項(xiàng)“地震”不是太陽(yáng)風(fēng)暴引起的，故答案為A。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中A solar storm is caused by solar flares（太陽(yáng)耀斑）: large explosions（爆炸) near the sun that can give off lots of energy. 可知，太陽(yáng)風(fēng)暴是由太陽(yáng)耀斑造成的，（太陽(yáng)風(fēng)暴）是在太陽(yáng)附近的巨大的爆炸，它可以釋放出許多能量，故答案為 C。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中large explosions（爆炸) near the sun that can give off lots of energy. The strong energy can stop the satellite systems（衛(wèi)星系統(tǒng)）that control our computers, telecom networks and so on. These storms can even cause the power to go out for weeks or months. 可知，事件發(fā)生的順序?yàn)?/span> a-c-d-b，故答案為B。

【4】主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章大意“短文主要介紹了什么是太陽(yáng)風(fēng)暴及其造成的后果�！笨芍�，作者寫這段話主要是向人們介紹什么是太陽(yáng)風(fēng)暴，故答案為C。

閱讀理解題做題技巧。可以從細(xì)節(jié)理解、詞義猜測(cè)、推理判斷和主旨大意等方面入手做題。細(xì)節(jié)理解題可以直接從文中尋找答案，比如本題中的1、2、3小題；詞義猜測(cè)題，需要根據(jù)單詞所在的語(yǔ)境，進(jìn)行合理想象，確定單詞的正確含義；推理判斷題需要聯(lián)系上下文，推斷出需要的信息；主旨大意題需要根據(jù)文章的某一段或整篇進(jìn)行歸納總結(jié)，寫出大意比如本題中的第4小題。本題包括從細(xì)節(jié)理解和主旨大意兩個(gè)方面去解題。
