答案及详解:
1.题目中的关键词是first,对应原文的第二段,其中有一句:First established by the British as a convict settlement in 1788,是题目的同义表达,答案为Right。
2.题目中的关键词是Harbour,对应原文的第三段,其中有一句:The 57 square kilometer harbour is one of the largest in the world. 原文说悉尼港是世界最大的港口之一,题目讲悉尼是世界最大的港口。题目的范围小于原文的范围,答案为Not Mentioned。注意,答此题不能凭借自己的知识,事实上,世界最大的港口是荷兰的鹿特丹,但文章当中没说,所以不能答Wrong。
3.题目中的关键词是Paddington,对应原文的第四段,其中有一句:Paddington, where many people live in smart terraced houses, art galleries, pubs, and restaurants, abound in the cosy streets that tend to be quite narrow. terraced 对应题目中的arranged in rows, quite narrow 对应题目中的not very wide,原文和题目是同义表达,答案为Right。此题主要考词terraced的意思,目前考试中,很少考对一个词的理解。
4.题目中的关键词是entertainment,对应原文的第五段,其中有一句:the big-name popular music artists, both local and international, attract capacity audiences at the huge Entertainment Centre in the heart of the city. 原文说both local and international,题目说only for international。原文是两个条件并列,题目是only其中一个条件。答案为Wrong。
5.题目中的关键词是restaurants,第六段原文中提到了悉尼有各种各样的餐馆,但并没有与过去相比,答案为Not Mentioned。
6.题目中的关键词是department stores,快速阅读原文第七段落第一句为:In the heart of the city are several big department stores linked by enclosed over-the-street crossings and underground walkways. linked by 对应题目中的joined by,原文和题目是同义表达,答案为Right。
7.题目中的关键词是sports,快速阅读原文第八段落第一句话:Australia is recognised as one of the most sports-conscious nations in the world. 原文说recognised,题目说not realized,是not加同义词,答案为Wrong。
