题目解答
答案
解析
考查要点：
- 细节理解题：第一题需要根据文章直接提取信息，明确奖项的庆祝对象。
- 词义猜测题：第二题需结合上下文推断“entries”的具体含义，注意排除干扰选项。
解题核心思路：
- 第一题：直接定位文中关键句，锁定“academic achievements”这一核心信息。
- 第二题：通过“来自4000名学生”“响应问题设置”等上下文线索，判断“entries”指参赛行为或参赛者。
第1题：What did the Awards celebrate?
关键句定位：
文章首段明确说明：“The Awards celebrate the academic achievements of middle school students.”
选项分析：
- A. Academic achievements of middle school：与原文完全一致，正确。
- B. Anniversary of a middle school：文中未提及周年纪念，排除。
- C. Graduation ceremony of a middle school：文中未涉及毕业典礼，排除。
第2题：What does the word "entries" in the second paragraph mean?
上下文推断：
第二段中，“entries”出现在句中：“there were entries from more than 4,000 students... in response to questions set by Nottingham academics.”
逻辑分析：
- “entries”指学生对“问题”的回应，即参赛行为或参赛者。
- 选项C. 参加比赛的人最符合语境，而选项B“候选人”强调选拔，与“响应问题”不符。
