分析 文章大意:本文介紹了最近我們注意到一些條件差的學(xué)校以及一些地區(qū)的學(xué)校要求免費(fèi)開放動(dòng)物園,維多利亞動(dòng)物園認(rèn)為所有的孩子應(yīng)該有機(jī)會(huì)參觀動(dòng)物園,獲得一種對(duì)野生動(dòng)物和大自熱的理解,因此維多利亞動(dòng)物園贏得了伊恩•波特基金會(huì)的支持去實(shí)現(xiàn)這個(gè)目標(biāo).文章接下來(lái)講述了這一項(xiàng)目的宗旨、范圍以及如何申請(qǐng)等問(wèn)題.
解答 59.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第一段第二句 Zoos Victoria believes that all children should have the opportunity to have aft early memory of visiting the zoo,and gain an understanding of the wild and natural world that humans share with animals.可知維多利亞動(dòng)物園的目的是為了讓孩子們對(duì)野生動(dòng)植物以及大自然產(chǎn)生一種濃厚的興趣.因此答案選B.
60.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文中Travel to the zoo-transport costs will be partly or fully paid back to the school off the basis of the number of children applied for the program.可知運(yùn)輸成本是根據(jù)申請(qǐng)的人數(shù)確定的.
61.B 推理判斷題.根據(jù)文中Children from disadvantaged and originally isolated schools are provided with the opportunity to visit the zoo and attend an interactive education experience at no charge以及Consideration will be given to schools that have not previously been able to enter one of our zoo areas,list as"disadvantaged"ones or conic from regionally isolated areas.可知答案選B,其它選項(xiàng)與文章內(nèi)容不符.
62.D推理判斷題.根據(jù)Able to complete a short evaluation of the program(能夠完成一份對(duì)這個(gè)項(xiàng)目的評(píng)價(jià))這句話可知答案選D.
點(diǎn)評(píng) 本題考查廣告布告類閱讀理解.廣告布告類閱讀理解是高考?嫉念}材內(nèi)容之一,閱讀這類文章是,要在整體把握文章結(jié)構(gòu)前提下,主要注意細(xì)節(jié)信息,做題時(shí)根據(jù)所提問(wèn)題用尋讀、跳讀的方法可以達(dá)到事半功倍的效果.
