3. What does the underlined word "chaos" mean in Para 6?
A. Danger.
B. Anxiety.
C. Desperation.
D. Disorder.
答案解析:答案为D。本题为词义猜测题。结合划线词语的下文 “The Icelandic volcano causing travel chaos across Europe could go on erupting for months ….”可以推断,欧洲的火山可能会喷发几个月,它导致了旅行混乱(disorder.),故答案为D。A选项 “danger”意为“危险”,B选项 “anxiety”意为 “焦虑”, C选项“desperation”意为“绝望”,均不符合文意,故不选。
4. From the passage, we know that the volcano eruption _________.
A. forced all the people to go back home
B. brought the train company a large profit
C. made 6,000 passengers take ships to cross the Channel
D. prevented British students from going to school on time
答案解析:答案为B。本题为推理题。由第九段 “Eurostar trains were fully booked until tomorrow, with 50,000 more passengers than normal since the airline disruption began on Thursday…”可知,自从航空线中断后,Eurostar火车票订购爆满,比通常多50,000名乘客,因此可以推断,火山喷发给火车公司带来了大量利润,故答案为B。
A选项表达有误。由第八段 “Ferry operators have reported record bookings. P&O took 6,000 foot passengers across the channel on Friday …”可知,在周五有6,000 旅客乘坐渡船过海峡,可以推断,其他时间也有旅客乘坐渡船,故C选项的人数表达有误。由最后一段 “The British Embassy in Athens said there were currently “many thousand” British holidaymakers trying to leave Greece after the holidays, in many cases anxious to get back in time for the start of the school term this week…”可知,外面度假的英国人努力离开希腊,其中很多人是为了及时赶上本周开学的时间,故D选项“阻止了英国学生按时上学”错误。
