1.B

2.D

3.A

4.B

5.D


解析:

1.B  細(xì)節(jié)考查題。第一段 “South Yorkshire, opened their results together on TV after completing the UK's only online English A-level course.”中的 “online”可知答案為B。

2.D  詞義猜測(cè)題。由上下文可知Actor Holly Grainger 在一個(gè)新校園劇中獲得了扮演主角的機(jī)會(huì), 故land的意思為 “成功地得到”。

3.A  正誤判斷題。由“Betty Allen and daughter Chris Branton of Sprotbrough, South Yorkshire, opened their results together on TV after completing the UK's only online English A-level course.”可知A項(xiàng)內(nèi)容與此內(nèi)容不吻合,故A符合題意。其他三項(xiàng)文中均有明確表述。

4.B  細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第三則新聞可知, Andrew Nowell因發(fā)明了 “remote control and security interface system”, 而獲得了 “年輕工程師獎(jiǎng)”,他將去劍橋大學(xué)深造, 這是他取得的偉大成就。

5.D  歸納文章標(biāo)題。五則新聞報(bào)道了一些不尋常的學(xué)生以及他們?nèi)〉玫某煽?jī), D項(xiàng)作為題目最適合。B項(xiàng)與第一則中“Mrs Allen received a D and Ms Branton a C ”不符。
