At dawn on September 5th, 1972 a band of “Black September” Arab guerrillas broke into the Israeli building in the Olympic village near Munich where 10,000 athletes were staying. Over 250 plain clothes police had been brought into the village, following a tip-off of trouble ahead, but none of them saw the Arabs scale the fence. They burst into the Israeli building with submachine guns blazing at 5:10 am. Some Israeli athletes escaped through the windows and side doors. Nine were taken hostage. The guerrillas demanded the release of 200 Palestinians held in Israeli jails and a safe passage out of Germany. Within hours the Olympic village was surrounded by 13000 police. The Olympic Games were suspended. After some negotiations, the terrorists were told they would be flown with their hostages to an Arab country. They were taken by helicopter to the Furstenfield military airport 25 miles from Munich. Just before midnight the guerrillas and their hostages began to walk across the tarmac to a waiting Boeing 727 aircraft. Suddenly al the airport lights were turned out and German police sharp shooters opened fire. The rescue attempt failed tragically. In the gun battle all nine hostages were killed, as well as four Arabs and one policeman. Three Arabs were captured and one escaped into the nearby woods. On the 8th, Israeli planes bombed ten guerilla bases in revenge for Munich massacre.
1. The most possible reason for Israeli athletes being attacked and kidnapped is that ________.
A. they had a conflict with the Arab guerrillas
B. the Arab guerrillas wanted to save the Palestinians held in Israeli jails
C. the German Government hated Israel
D. the Arab guerrillas hoped to get a large sum of money
2. When the trouble took place, the Olympic Games _________.
A. were completed B. were going onC. were to be finished D. were to take place
3.The terrorists were told that they would be probably sent by air to ____.
A. ItalyB. IndiaC. SyriaD. Nigeria
4.How many Arabs were there as terrorists?
A. Seven.B. Eight. C. Nine. D. It wasn’t mentioned.
5.What do you think Palestine and Israel would act next?
A. They would begin another conflict.
B. They would begin to negotiate.
C. They would try to improve each other’s relation.
D. They would turn to UN.
1.【答案】B。
【解析】先找有關(guān)細(xì)節(jié)，解題的關(guān)鍵在第四句，意為“游擊隊(duì)員要求釋放關(guān)在以色列監(jiān)獄里的200多名巴勒斯坦人并安全離開(kāi)德國(guó)”。這樣，我們就可以來(lái)分析選項(xiàng)了。A項(xiàng)說(shuō)“因?yàn)橐陨羞\(yùn)動(dòng)員和游擊隊(duì)有沖突?！边@是事實(shí)，因?yàn)槲恼轮v的就是，但這不是原因，故不能選。再看B項(xiàng)“阿拉伯游擊隊(duì)意在營(yíng)救被關(guān)押在以色列監(jiān)獄中的巴勒斯坦人”，屬實(shí)，現(xiàn)在看C、D項(xiàng)是否更確切。C項(xiàng)說(shuō)“德國(guó)政府憎恨以色列人”，風(fēng)馬牛不相及。而D項(xiàng)“阿拉伯游擊隊(duì)想要一大筆錢”，顯然也不是他們的目的?，F(xiàn)在就可確定B為正確答案無(wú)疑。
2.【答案】B。
【解析】根據(jù)第七句可知，奧運(yùn)會(huì)賽事被中止。這不正意味著當(dāng)時(shí)奧運(yùn)會(huì)正在進(jìn)行嗎?這樣，我們就可以來(lái)對(duì)選項(xiàng)進(jìn)行取舍了。A項(xiàng)“結(jié)束了”，顯然不對(duì)。C項(xiàng)“即將結(jié)束”雖然也有正在進(jìn)行之意，但概括得又太具體，所以也不能選。而D項(xiàng)“即將發(fā)生”，更不對(duì)。這樣就只剩下B項(xiàng)，其意為“正在進(jìn)行”，正是作者的隱含看法，所以正確無(wú)疑。
3.【答案】C。（北京安通學(xué)校提供）
【解析】根據(jù)選項(xiàng)，結(jié)合問(wèn)題，可知選項(xiàng)涉及到國(guó)名。再看原文，發(fā)現(xiàn)第10句是關(guān)鍵句：恐怖分子被告知飛往某一個(gè)阿拉伯國(guó)家。特別注意“阿拉伯國(guó)家”五個(gè)字。好了，現(xiàn)在我們就可以來(lái)分析選項(xiàng)了。去掉不屬于阿拉伯國(guó)家的選項(xiàng)，就可以得出正確答案。A項(xiàng)“意大利”，B項(xiàng)“印度”，D項(xiàng)“尼日利亞”，都不屬于阿拉伯國(guó)家。這樣就只剩下C項(xiàng)，而“敘利亞”正好屬于阿拉伯國(guó)家。從此題的選擇過(guò)程中，我們可以體會(huì)到，多掌握一些英語(yǔ)背景知識(shí)如地理的、文化的、歷史的等等，對(duì)提高學(xué)習(xí)成績(jī)很有幫助。
4.【答案】B。
【解析】此題涉及到數(shù)字，要考慮到有可能進(jìn)行簡(jiǎn)單計(jì)算。先找有關(guān)細(xì)節(jié)。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三句和第二句可以知道：(在警察實(shí)施營(yíng)救時(shí)) 4個(gè)阿拉伯人被擊斃，3個(gè)被捕，1個(gè)逃跑，所以有4+3+1=8個(gè)。這樣就可以一目了然地找到正確答案為B。D為干擾性較強(qiáng)的選項(xiàng)。注意在解答此類題時(shí)不要遺漏數(shù)字。
5.【答案】A。
【解析】解答此題應(yīng)具有一定的邏輯推理能力。通讀全文，可知阿拉伯國(guó)家 (以巴勒斯坦為代表)與以色列關(guān)系緊張。A項(xiàng)說(shuō)“他們將可能挑起另一次沖突”，與們的分析及作者的暗示相吻合。再看還有沒(méi)有更合適的選項(xiàng)，B項(xiàng)說(shuō)“他們將可能開(kāi)始談判”有點(diǎn)可能，但既然以色列剛報(bào)復(fù)過(guò)，阿拉伯、巴勒斯坦會(huì)就此罷休嗎?所以與A相比，應(yīng)排除。再看C項(xiàng)“他們將盡量改善彼此的關(guān)系”也不合事實(shí)。而D項(xiàng)“他們將訴諸于聯(lián)合國(guó)”，可能性也不大。所以可斷定A為正確答案無(wú)疑。

Of the tens of thousands of ships on the ocean bottom, only a handful, less than1 percent, contain negotiable treasure, such as gold and jewels. Most give us a different, priceless treasure --- history. A sunken ship lies in trust, preserved in the airless environment of the sea, and those in deep water are especially well protected. No dry land sites anywhere --- except perhaps Egyptian tombs --- are in a better state of preservation than a vessel deep in the ocean. A sunken ship, therefore, can be a rare window through which a moment in time is glimpsed.
This is not to imply that sunken ships are always found intact. Most ships break up on the way down, hit the bottom at about 100 miles per hour, and become a chaotic, confusing jumble (混亂的一堆). I recall the chagrin (懊惱) of a novice diver who , after surfacing from an underwater tour of a 400-foot ship, asked his diving buddy. “Where was the wreck?” It takes experience to actually know sunken ship when one sees it.
But no matter what its condition on the way down, a ship deteriorates much more slowly as it sinks deeper into protective layer of sand and mud. Ancient vessels have been found in remarkably good condition. In 1997 a group of marine archaeologists excavating (發(fā)掘) a 900-year-old wreck recovered engraved glassware, Greek coins, bronze kettles, and amazingly, Greek jars containing seeds, almonds, and lentile --- even a plate with chicken bones.
6. Which of the following is meant by the “priceless treasure” mentioned in line 2?
A. Valuable information.B. Ancient coins.
C. Precious stones. D. Old books.
7.The author compares a sunken ship preserved in the deep sea to which of the following?
A. A tomb in Egypt. B. A Greek jar.
C. A vacuum. D. A bronze chest.
8. According to the passage, which of the following usually happens to a ship as it sinks?
A. It remains in an upright position. B. It gets transported by the currents.
C. It breaks into pieces.D. It attracts marine life.
9. Which of the following objects found on the 900-year-old wreck most surprised the author?
A. Money. B. Jars. C. Chicken bones. D. Glassware.
10.Which of the following features of an ancient ship is of most interest to the author?
A. Speed. B. Contents.C. Location. D. Design.

【解析】從上下文可知；在眾多的沉船中，僅有不到1%的船里有如金子和首飾類的可流通的財(cái)物，大部分沉船給我們的是另一種珍貴的寶物——?dú)v史。這說(shuō)明，“珍貴的寶物”在此指的是歷史，即這些沉船告訴我們一些有關(guān)不同時(shí)代的信息。
7.【答案】A
【解析】在第一段第四句講到：也許除了埃及的古墓之外，陸地上沒(méi)有哪個(gè)地方比深海能更好地保護(hù)船只了。由這句話可知：作者把保護(hù)在深海里的沉船比作埃及的古墓。
8.【答案】C
【解析】在第二段第二句講到：大部分船在下沉過(guò)程中破碎。
9.【答案】C
【解析】在最后一句中作者介紹說(shuō)：1977年，一組海洋考古學(xué)者發(fā)掘了一只有900年歷史的沉船，復(fù)原了雕刻的玻璃器，希臘硬幣，銅壺，更令人吃驚的是希臘的裝有種子、杏仁、小扁豆的罐，甚至一只盛有雞骨頭的盤子。這說(shuō)明，最令作者吃驚的是雞骨頭。
10.【答案】B
【解析】在最后一段及第一段作者分別談到的是船內(nèi)的東西。這說(shuō)明作者最感興趣的是古船裝載的東西。
