Lucinda would like to have met Cleopatra because she was pretty. 露辛達(dá)想見見克利奧帕特拉，因?yàn)樗�很漂亮；根�?jù)I’d choose Cleopatra—the last king of ancient Egypt.，可知說法錯(cuò)誤。C.

閱讀理解題。首先要粗讀文章了解大意，其次通過細(xì)讀，理解全文。在粗讀的基礎(chǔ)上，仔細(xì)閱讀題后所給的題目，根據(jù)題目要求，再有重點(diǎn)地返回來仔細(xì)閱讀。在閱讀理解的題目中，所設(shè)問題主要有以下幾種方式：找主題或概括文章的中心思想、就文中的具體事實(shí)和情節(jié)進(jìn)行提問、根據(jù)文章的表層意思進(jìn)行深層次的推理判斷等，在細(xì)讀時(shí)，要根據(jù)設(shè)問的方式，進(jìn)行有側(cè)重地閱讀。1、概括文章中心思想。1)文首呈現(xiàn)主題句。2)文尾出現(xiàn)主題句。3)首尾呼應(yīng)展現(xiàn)主題。4)文中表述主題。前面提出問題，文中的主題由隨之陳述的細(xì)節(jié)或合乎邏輯的引申在文中導(dǎo)出，而后再做進(jìn)一步的解釋。5)文章沒有主題句。在這種情況下，考生要把所有的細(xì)節(jié)綜合起來。進(jìn)行邏輯推理，概括歸納出文章的主題句。2.掌握文章的具體事實(shí)和重要情節(jié)。在考題中，經(jīng)常會(huì)見到就文章中某一具體事實(shí)和重要情節(jié)進(jìn)行測試的題目。這就要求考生在閱讀時(shí)要注意辨認(rèn)和記憶具體事實(shí)，重要情節(jié)，事物的起因、過程、結(jié)果及發(fā)生的地點(diǎn)、時(shí)間等，這些都有可能作為測試點(diǎn)。還有一些測試題，要求考生在理解的基礎(chǔ)上，通過自己的思維將理解的內(nèi)容系統(tǒng)化，比如計(jì)算、排序等題型。
