[单选题]In Beijing there are ______ hotels with stars at present.
正确答案 :C
about 400
解析:解析:本题的关键是找到这些选项中的数字在文中出现的地方,然后逐一对照确认即可。其依据句为“Beijing will have more than 800 hotels with star ratings before the Olympic Games in 2008. The city currently has 20 five-star hotels,34 four-star hotels and 338 other hotels with lower ratings.”可以看出,D选项内容是2008年的数字,A和B选项是五星和四星级宾馆的数字,而此题要求所有星级的宾馆总数。所以,答案是将不同星级宾馆数字相加,总数大约400(20+30+338)。
[单选题]According to the second paragraph, the 50 to 60 booking phone calls are from those who ______.
正确答案 :C
believed that Beijing would be the winner
解析:解析:本题的依据句是“...,the hotel had already received 50 to 60 such phone calls from would-be game-goers gambling on the result.” gambling on the result在这里的意思是“算定了北京会赢”,所以他们提前预定宾馆房间。其他选项内容属于错误信息或无关信息。

[单选题]The passage suggests that the early shops for making tools were ______.
正确答案 :A
not very sophisticated
解析:解析:本题的依据句是“At first,these articles were whittled with a knife,but when pioneer craftsmen set up their primitive shops most of them were fashioned on a lathe--a machine which holds an object and rotates it while it is being shaped by a tool.”在这里,A选项的not very sophisticated 意思为“并不复杂,是简单的”,对应原文中的primitive(原始的,简单的)。其他选项的内容属于无关信息。
