[单选题]Which of the following objects was an important woodworking tool used by early American craftsmen?

正确答案 ：D

A chisel

解析：解析：应该在文章中找到每一个选项的单词在文中出现的地方，然后判断出其是否是工具还是木雕作品。只有D选项chisel一词与另一种工具knife作为并列关系同时出现，所以可以判定其为另外一种工具。其他选项代表的全是木雕作品。

[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。

解析：解析：Tom对Charles不识乐谱也能弹得一手好吉他感到难以置信，这种情况下一般说 You're kidding或You're joking，意思是：“你在开玩笑吧!”或“这不是真的!”。其他几个选项分别表示“撒谎”、“吹嘘”、“欺骗”，都不恰当。

For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said, "Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This may be your lucky day!"

正确答案 ：E

be lucky customers

解析：解析：一般而言，第一道题的依据句可以从文章的开始部分寻找。本题的依据句为文章的第一句话“All the people who went to the new supermarket had one great hope：to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for his shopping.”B选项答案非常明确；其他选项在本句中没有涉及，属于无关信息。

[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]What should you do ff your child is under six years old?

[单选题]What is this report mainly about?

正确答案 ：A

Phone inquires about hotel bookings for the 2008 Olympic Games.

解析：解析：这是一个典型的大意理解题，其依据句就是文章的主题句，一般位于文章的开头。本文的主题句就是第一个句子“Beijing's top hotels are fielding scores of calls from foreigners and Chinese people eager to book rooms during the 2008 Olympic Games in the Chinese capital.”与A选项内容相符和。其他的选项内容并不是本文的主题，而只是细节信息或无关信息。

[单选题]Mrs. White's husband tried to ______.

正确答案 ：C

stop her from buying unnecessary things

解析：解析：注意题干上的名词：Her husband在文章中出现的地方，从而可以很容易地找到本题地依据句“Her husband tried again and again to persuade her to give it up，but she just wouldn't listen.”本句话的主要意思为丈夫不让她为了中奖而购买不必要的东西，并不是不让她去商场。所以B选项错误；A和D选项内容在文中没有出现，属于无关信息。
