题目解答

答案

解析

考查要点：

  1. 词义猜测（第61题）：需结合上下文逻辑关系，通过对比推断词义。
  2. 细节理解（第62、63题）：需定位原文关键信息，排除干扰选项。
  3. 推理判断（第64、65题）：需根据作者态度、人物观点推断隐含含义。

解题核心思路：

  • 对比逻辑：第61题通过“官方宣传”与“现实数据”的矛盾推断词义。
  • 选项匹配：第62、63题需逐项比对原文细节，排除错误选项。
  • 人物观点分析：第64题通过Higgins的批评性言论判断态度。
  • 主旨归纳：第65题需整合全文关于斯诺克赛事发展的讨论焦点。

第61题

关键逻辑：

  • 官方声称“斯诺克全球影响力最大”，但实际“排名赛数量减少，仅在英中举办”。
  • 矛盾对比说明官方宣传夸大其词，故选“exaggerated”（D）。

第62题

细节定位：

  • 第五段“仅6场排名赛，比上赛季少1场”说明赛事减少。
  • Higgins呼吁“增加赛事数量”，侧面反映当前赛事不足。
  • “losing popularity”（B）与“赛事减少”“选手不满”一致。

第63题

推理判断：

  • 第六段“1980年后仅1位非英爱冠军”暗示英国选手长期主导。
  • 第四段“中澳决赛是24年首次非英选手对决”进一步支持“British dominance”（A）。

第64题

人物态度分析：

  • Higgins批评“赛事数量不足”“选手不满现状”，体现对现状的失望（B）。

第65题

主旨归纳：

  • 全文围绕“斯诺克赛事发展现状”“选手对赛事安排的不满”展开，故选“attitudes and concerns”（C）。
