题目解答

答案

解析

考查要点：本题主要考查学生对语篇逻辑关系的把握能力，需要根据上下文语境选择最合适的选项，同时排除干扰项。
解题核心：

  1. 定位上下文关键词：通过空格前后句中的时间、人物、事件等信息，锁定选项中匹配的逻辑关系。
  2. 辨析选项差异：重点关注选项中与主题相关的动词、名词或逻辑连接词（如转折、因果等）。
  3. 排除干扰项：注意选项中与上下文时间、人物或事件矛盾的内容。

第5题

上下文：第一段介绍航天飞机的成就，包括发射哈勃望远镜和国际空间站。
关键逻辑：空格后需总结航天飞机的作用，选项C（扩展空间科学）直接呼应前文列举的科学贡献，且“played an important part”与成就形成完整逻辑。

第6题

上下文：第二段转到航天飞机退役对就业的影响。
关键逻辑：空格前的“However”暗示转折，选项B（130多次飞行后将退役）与后文“worries”形成因果关系，体现从成就到问题的过渡。

第7题

上下文：Jim Lovell批评NASA缺乏目标。
关键逻辑：选项D（资深飞行员不满）引出具体人物的批评，与后文“unhappy”形成呼应，且“other reasons”暗示批评内容与前文失业问题不同。

第8题

上下文：奥巴马回应批评，为终止星座计划辩护。
关键逻辑：选项F（奥巴马访问肯尼迪中心）直接连接前文“concerns”与后文“speech”，体现事件的因果顺序。

第9题

上下文：星座计划的目标是重返月球。
关键逻辑：选项A（基于现有技术重现阿波罗成功）补充星座计划的背景，与后文“return to the moon”形成完整解释。
