Question

17．Three visitors traveling on a bus began a conversation about the world's greatest wonders．
"In my opinion，"the first visitor said，"the Egyptian pyramids are the world's greatest wonder．Although they were built thousands of years ago，they are still standing．And remember：the people who built them had only simple tools．They did not have the kind of machinery that builders and engineers have today．"
"I agree that the pyramids in Egypt are wonderful，"the second visitor said，"but I do not think they are the greatest wonder．I believe computers are more wonderful than the pyramids．They have taken people to the moon and brought them back safely．In seconds，they carry out mathematical calculations that would take a person a hundred years to do．"
He turned to the third visitor and asked，"What do you think is the greatest wonder in the world？"
The third visitor thought for a long time，and then he said，"Well，I agree that the pyramids are wonderful，and I agree that computers are wonderful，too．However，in my opinion，the most wonderful thing in the world is this thermos．"And he took a thermos out of his bag and held it up．
The other two visitors were very surprised．"A thermos？"they exclaimed．"But that's a simple thing．"
"Oh，no，it's not，"the third visitor said．"In the winter you put in a hot drink and it stays hot．In the summer you put in a cold drink and it stays cold．How does the thermos know whether it's winter or summer？"

Answer 1

分析 本文写了三个旅游的人在讨论世界上最伟大的奇迹是什么，而最后一个男人比较不聪明，因为他认为保温杯是最伟大的奇迹，因为他以为保温杯可以根据季节自行调节温度．

解答 67．答案是B．推理判断题，根据文中句子In the winter you put in a hot drink and it stays hot．In the summer you put in a cold drink and it stays cold在冬天，你放一杯热饮料，它会很热，夏天你放一杯冷饮，它会冷，可以推断这是一个保温杯，所以答案选B．
68．答案是A．细节理解题，第二段中第一个男人认为是金字塔，第三段中第二个男人认为是电脑，第五段第三个男人认为是保温瓶，所以题中所问三个人不能在最伟大的奇迹上意见统一的原因是他们有不同的主意，故选A．
69．答案是D．细节理解题，第二段第三行Although they were built thousands of years ago，they are still standing．And remember：the people who built them had only simple tools．虽然他们是几千年前建造的，但他们仍然屹立．记住：建造它们的人只有简单的工具，故选D．
70．答案是D．文章最后两行How does the thermos know whether it is winter or summer？保温杯冬天保暖，夏天保持低温．第三个人问"保温杯怎么知道是冬天还是夏天呢？"这是他觉得保温杯神奇的原因．故选D．
71．答案是A．推理判断题，第三个男人以为保温杯能够自己根据季节来调节温度，而不知道真正的原因，所以说他不是很聪明．故选A．
