Question

The earliest historical record of the Diaoyu Islands can date back to China’s Ming Dynasty about 650 years ago in a book titled "Voyage With a Tail Wind," published in 1403. The book records the first usage of "Diaoyu Islet" and "Chiwei Islet". The names refer to the current Diaoyu Islands and Chiwei Islet. Hu Zongxian, the Zhejiang governor of the Ming Dynasty, placed the Diaoyu Islands and surrounding islets within China’s maritime defense system. It demonstrates that the islands have been within China’s maritime defense region since the Ming Dynasty.

Japan claimed sovereignty（主权） during the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, seizing the islands by illegal means.

The Cairo Declaration issued after World War II stipulated(规定) that all territory taken by Japan illegally, including China’s northeast, Taiwan and Penghu islets, must be returned to China.

In August 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender under the terms of the Potsdam Declaration. The declaration laid out that Japan must return Taiwan, the Diaoyu Islands and surrounding islets to China.

But the islands came under US control after 1945. In 1951, Japan and the US signed an illegal treaty in San Francisco without inviting China. The islands were then "entrusted" to Japan according to the treaty.

On September 18th, 1951, then Chinese Premier and Foreign Minister Zhou Enlai made a solemn(庄严的) statement on behalf of the Chinese government that the Treaty of Peace with Japan signed in San Francisco was illegal , and would not be recognized without the participation and signing of the People’s Republic of China.

In June 1971, Japan and the United States signed an agreement to hand over Okinawa to Japan. The Diaoyu Islands were mapped into the handover area.

China’s Foreign Ministry announced on December 30th 1971 that such a move was "totally illegal" and reiterated(重申) that the Diaoyu Islands and surrounding islets were "an integral part of the Chinese territory".

【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述了钓鱼岛作为中国固有的海域，从明清以来，日本却一直无理的与中国争夺领海权。明清时期，中国发现钓鱼岛并把它纳入海防系统。甲午中日战争，日本通过不合法手段宣称钓鱼岛是日本领土。在开罗宣言和波兹坦宣言中规定日本必须将钓鱼岛归还中国。在美国的操纵下，日本和美国签署了和平条约，非法将钓鱼岛的海权给了日本。但受到周恩来总理的严正申明和平条约是非法的。因为未经中华人民共和国同意的条约。

1.maritime最有可能的意思是与“海”相关的。

2.2】推理判断题。文中有很明确的时间信息。1403、1895、1945、1951以及1971从第一段到最后一段年份逐增，所以可推断出这篇文章是按时间顺序来写的。

3.3】细节辨析题。定位到第四段第一句话。在1945年8月，日本在波兹坦宣言的条件下无条件投降。而不是在开罗宣言的条件下。所以选C。
