3、60.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。首先要認(rèn)真把握題目中的“extra” 額外的;另外的;多余的, 就不難根據(jù)第一段中hit a fuel storage tank at Sao Paulo's Congonhas airport得出答案為C。

61.A 段落大意題。開門見山,直奔主題----是新聞報(bào)道的特點(diǎn)之一,認(rèn)真理解首段可知這則新聞的概要應(yīng)該為A項(xiàng)。(人物、地點(diǎn)、事件三者齊全)

62.C 正誤判斷題。由第三則新聞第一段中 “with 114 people on board”可知飛機(jī)上共有114人,其中應(yīng)該包括機(jī)組人員, 所以乘客的數(shù)量應(yīng)該少于114, 故C項(xiàng)表述錯誤,為正確答案。其他三項(xiàng)文中均有明確表述。

63.A 推理判斷題。由第一則新聞第二段中 “… and slid off the wet runway.” 可以推斷出此時很可能天在下大雨, 跑道潮濕, 地面滑。故A項(xiàng)為正確答案。B項(xiàng)與第二則新聞中的The pilot, Jim LeRoy, was taken to Miami Valley Hospital and was announced dead.不符;C、D兩項(xiàng)分別可以從第二則和第三則新聞中找到明確表述,無需推斷,不符合題目要求。
