【答案及解析】61—65 CCADB

62. C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章的“Afternoon Classes”的時(shí)間表可知，下午課的開始時(shí)間為14：00。

64. D。綜合理解題。根據(jù)文章的“YOUVE ARRIVED！”可知，“To ensure students can make new friends from other countries.”并非此教育機(jī)構(gòu)的主旨。本題需要注意的是：此教育機(jī)構(gòu)的主旨并不是只體現(xiàn)在某一句話中，而是分布在整個(gè)段落中，需要同學(xué)們綜合處理。

65. B。排除無(wú)關(guān)信息題。根據(jù)文章的“YOUVE ARRIVED！”的大意可知，B項(xiàng)所說(shuō)的與本部分的內(nèi)容不符。

[D]Harry was a wonderful magician. In his best-known act， he swallowed two packages of needles （針）. After taking a swallow of water， he opened his mouth. Out came evenly the needles. Now， you see， no wonder he was called the Great Houdini.

EWhen he was a teenager， Harry worked as an assistant tie cutter. In his free time， he learned magic tricks. He read a book by Robert Houdin， a great magician. This book had a great effect on him. Harry admired Houdin so much that he changed his name to Houdini. Then， at 17， he quit his job and became a full-time magician.

Questions 66-70： Put the paragraphs in the right order according to the theme development. 根據(jù)文章主題發(fā)展，將段落按正確順序排列。

【答案及解析】 66—70 BEACD

首先，通過(guò)快速閱讀所有段落可知，這是一篇記敘文;而記敘文通常以事件的發(fā)展進(jìn)程為線索進(jìn)行記敘，因此我們就可以在快速通讀每個(gè)段落后按照事件的發(fā)展進(jìn)行初步排序;在初步確定答案后，再細(xì)讀一下全文，進(jìn)一步核實(shí)答案是否正確。
