Question

  Beldon and Canfield are two seashore towns，not far apart. Both towns have many hotels， and in summer the hotels are full of holiday-makers and other tourists.

  Last August there was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel in Beldon. Next day，this news ap?peared on Page 2 of the town's newspaper,The Beldon Post:

  Fire at Seabreeze

  Late last night firemen hurried to the Seabreeze Hotel and quickly put out a small fire in a bedroom. The hotel manager said that a cigarette started the fire. We say again to all our visitors, " Please don't smoke cigarettes in bed. " This was Beldon's first hotel fire for five years.

  The Canfield Times gave the news in these words on page one： Another Beldon Hotel Catches Fire .

  Last night Beldon firemen arrived just too late to save clothing，bedclothes and some furni?ture at the Seabreeze Hotel. An angry holiday-maker said, "An electric lamp probably started the fire. The bedroom lamps are very old at some of these hotels. When I put my bedside light on,I heard a funny noise from the lamp. " We are glad to tell our readers that this sort of ad?venture does not happen in Canfield.

  What are the facts then? It is never easy to find out the exact truth about an accident. There was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotesl last August：that is one fact. Do we know anything else? Yes，we know that firemen went to the hotel.

  Now what do you think of the rest of the "news"?

B篇通過兩家報紙對一個旅館發(fā)生火災的不同報道告訴讀者：從報紙上判斷事實真相是不容易的。

5. C主旨大意題文章最后兩段點明主題,也正是文章的重心所在，即從報紙上并不容易了解到事實真相。

6. A邏輯推理題從其標題"Another Beldon Hotel Catches Fire ( Beldon的旅館又一次著火）"可見，該地的旅館經(jīng)常發(fā)生火災。Can-field通過此舉能招徠更多游客。

7. C細節(jié)理解題從彼此新聞的第一句話可知，兩者對消防員撲火的說法截然相反。

8. B邏輯推理題從文章的倒數(shù)第三段"An angry holiday-maker said, ' An electric lamp probably started the fire可知,其并不知情，只是猜測。
