Answer 1

【答案】

【1】F

【2】F

【3】F

【4】F

【5】T

【解析】

地球上有超過(guò)30億的人口和大約2500種語(yǔ)言。在這些語(yǔ)言中，只有大約12種的使用人口超過(guò)5000萬(wàn)人。以下是一些使用非常廣泛的語(yǔ)言的名稱(chēng):漢語(yǔ)、英語(yǔ)、法語(yǔ)、德語(yǔ)、日語(yǔ)等。英語(yǔ)已經(jīng)成為一種流行的語(yǔ)言。學(xué)好英語(yǔ)對(duì)我們很有用。

【1】句意：世界上大約有3000種語(yǔ)言。

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)There are more than 3,000 million people on the Earth and about 2,500 languages.可知，地球上大約有2500種語(yǔ)言，不是3000種，題干的說(shuō)法是錯(cuò)誤的，故填F。

【2】句意：德語(yǔ)、漢語(yǔ)和西班牙語(yǔ)在世界上被廣泛使用。

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Here are the names of some languages which have very wide use: Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, etc.可知，被廣泛使用的語(yǔ)言是漢語(yǔ)、英語(yǔ)、法語(yǔ)、德語(yǔ)、日語(yǔ)等，沒(méi)有題干中提到的西班牙語(yǔ)，題干的說(shuō)法是錯(cuò)誤的，故填F。

【3】句意：150年前，只有大約20萬(wàn)人說(shuō)英語(yǔ)。

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Hundred and fifty years ago there were only about twenty million people who talked English可知，150年前，只有大約2000萬(wàn)人說(shuō)英語(yǔ)，不是題干中說(shuō)的20萬(wàn)人，故填F。

【4】句意：說(shuō)英語(yǔ)的人最多。

推理判斷題。根據(jù)Now there are at least two hundred and fifty million, and there may be more people in the future. English has become a popular language.可知，英語(yǔ)已經(jīng)成為一種流行的語(yǔ)言�，F(xiàn)在已有兩億五千萬(wàn)，將來(lái)可能會(huì)有更多的人。但根據(jù)常識(shí)可知少于漢語(yǔ)的使用人口，且文章中找不到明確的文本證據(jù)顯示英語(yǔ)是“使用人口最多的”，因此題干錯(cuò)誤。故填F。

【5】句意：我們知道現(xiàn)在說(shuō)英語(yǔ)的人比以前多得多。

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Hundred and fifty years ago there were only about twenty million people who talked English, for example. Now there are at least two hundred and fifty million, and there may be more people in the future.可知，150年前，只有大約2000萬(wàn)人說(shuō)英語(yǔ)，而現(xiàn)在至少有兩億五千萬(wàn)，故說(shuō)英語(yǔ)的人比以前多得多。填T。

判斷正誤題在閱讀理解中算是比較簡(jiǎn)單的題目。但是多數(shù)考查的都是細(xì)節(jié)，只有足夠仔細(xì)，才能把題做對(duì)。如1小題中的數(shù)字3,000在文中也出現(xiàn)了，但是指的是3,000 million people，如果觀(guān)察得不仔細(xì)，就很難做對(duì)。
