　　[阅读判断]The UK is portioned at No. 29， a much lower position chiefly because of the social and family breakdown recorded in official statistics. The US， which has the second highest per capita GDP(人均国内生产总值)after Luxembourg， took the 13th place in the survey.China was in the lower haft of the league at 60th.

　　Q： The United States of America is among the top 10 countries in the survey.

　　A、True

　　B、False

　　C、Not Given

　　正确答案：B

　　答案解析：答案选B。问题句说“美国位于前十个国家的行列”。The US, which has the second highest per capita GDP (人均国内生产总值) after Luxembourg, took the 13th place in the survey. 该句说“美国的人均国内生产总值排名第2，仅位于卢森堡之后，因此美国在这项调查中位于第13位。”显然问题句的说法与该句的说法不一致，因此判断问题句“错误”。

　　[阅读选择]Late one Sunday afternoon in September 1999， Oseola McCarty， an elderly cleaning lady passed away in the little wooden frame house where she had lived and worked most of her life. It may seem like an ordinary end to a humble life， but there was something quite exceptional about this woman.

　　In the summer of 1995， McCarty gave $ 150，000， most of the money she had saved throughout her life，to the University of Southern Mississippi in her hometown. The money was to help other African Americans through university. She had started her savings habit as a young child when she would return from school to clean and iron for money which she would then save.

　　This woman shocked and inspired the world because _______.

　　A、she had managed to save so much money

　　B、she gave her money to African Americans

　　C、she gave her life savings to help others through university

　　D、she only spent money on cheap things

　　正确答案：C

　　答案解析：答案选C。only是绝对词，在选项D中出现，根据经验排除D;对照原文第一自然段最后一句话there was something quite exceptional about this woman说她有些特别的地方，接着第二自然段就讲In the summer of 1995, McCarty gave $ 150,000, most of the money she had saved throughout her life，to the University of Southern Mississippi in her hometown.她把大部分积攒的钱捐献给了家乡的大学，A和B表达都不全面，答案是C。

　　[阅读选择]Helping the planet is a big part of what our world trip is all about and that‘s exactly what we did this past week. We helped get a hydroponics farm started in a local village. This farm will be a model for the local villagers so they can start their very own self sustaining farm. Hydroponics is a type of farming that uses a third of the water needed in an average farm and uses no soil.

　　A hydroponics farm _______________.

　　A、is difficult to build

　　B、is a type of farm without soil

　　C、will cost lots of money

　　D、was started in the village before they came

　　正确答案：B

　　答案解析：答案选B。词义理解题。根据关键词hydroponics farm迅速锁定本段。再通过排除法可以判定B项是正确的。因为A和C表述的内容文章并没有提到过。D项表述是错误的，因为那个村庄在他们去之前并没有这种hydroponics farm。是他们到了之后，帮忙建立了一个模型。
