题目解答

答案

1) B 2) B 3) B

解析

考查要点：本题主要考查对英文句子细节的理解能力，需结合上下文准确判断选项中描述是否与原文一致。
解题思路：

  1. 时间表达：注意原文中时间描述的逻辑关系（如“after”“late into the night”）。
  2. 动词短语辨析：如“pull all-nighters”是固定搭配，需理解其实际含义。
  3. 动作主体判断：明确句子中动作的执行者（如“flashed a smile”是Filipu自己做出的动作）。

第1题

关键点：原文中“years of studying late into the night”和“after a 23-hour shift”说明Filipu在夜班后（即午夜11点后）学习。

  • 选项A错误：将学习时间固定为“2:30到11pm”，与“late into the night”矛盾。
  • 选项B正确：明确“after 11pm”符合“夜班后学习”的逻辑。

第2题

关键点：“pull all-nighters”是固定短语，意为“彻夜学习”。

  • 选项A错误：“turn on all-night lights”是字面翻译，与实际含义不符。
  • 选项B正确：直接对应“spend all night studying”。

第3题

关键点：句子主语是Filipu，动作是他自己“smile and thumbs-up”。

  • 选项A错误：错误地将动作主体改为“audience”。
  • 选项B正确：准确描述Filipu本人的行为。
