Question

Air is an odorless (無氣味的), invisible (看不見的) gas that surrounds the earth. It is everywhere on the planet. An “empty” drinking glass and an “empty” room, to give two examples, are not really empty. Each is filled with air. When the glass is filled with water, the water pushes the air out of the glass.

Air, as a gas, has no definite (明確的) shape, but, because it is matter, it takes up space. It is easy to prove that air is something that takes up space. Stuff a dry handkerchief into the bottom（底部） of a glass so that it will not fall out when the glass is turned upside-down. Push the upside-down glass; hold it straight into a jar of water till the glass is completely covered. When the glass is taken out of water, the handkerchief will be dry. The air inside the glass takes up space and keeps the water from coming in.

1.What does the underlined word “Stuff” (in Paragraph 2) mean?

A．Press tightly.                           B．Take out.

C．Put down.                             D．Turn fully.

試題分析：文章介紹了空氣的特點(diǎn)，用實(shí)驗(yàn)證明空氣是占據(jù)空間的。

1.猜詞題：從后面的句子：so that it will not fall out when the glass is turned upside-down.杯子倒過來手帕不會(huì)掉，說明是緊緊的按壓。選A

2.細(xì)節(jié)題：從第二段的句子：It is easy to prove that air is something that takes up space.可知這個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)很容易做。選C

3.細(xì)節(jié)題：從最后一段的句子：Push the upside-down glass; hold it straight into a jar of water till the glass is completely covered. When the glass is taken out of water, the handkerchief will be dry. The air inside the glass takes up space and keeps the water from coming in.可知杯子倒過來的時(shí)候，手帕在杯子底部，杯子的其余部分是空氣。選C。

考點(diǎn)：考查科普類短文

點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文要求考生理解文章的主旨，通過不同人的不同觀點(diǎn)，找出文章的特定的寫作態(tài)度，讀者應(yīng)當(dāng)知道如何去做或按照某種方式傳遞思考問題。推理判斷題的答案不可能在文章中直接找到，因此推理時(shí)我們務(wù)必要忠于原文，在文章中尋找并確定可推論的依據(jù)。
