Thomas Adams changed the gum and marketed it as a candy.”Santa Anna給了兼職發(fā)明家Thomas Adams一些。Thomas Adams將口香糖改頭換面，將其作為一種糖果推向市場(chǎng)?？芍猅homas Adams把Santa Anna給他的樹(shù)膠變成了口香糖。故選C。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“Blibber Blubber was too sticky and it was also too difficult to remove the burst bubble from one39。s skin without using some special tools.”Blibber Blubber太粘了，不使用一些特殊的工具就很難把皮膚上破裂的泡沫去除?？赏浦?yàn)锽libber Blubber的特性，Blibber Blubber最不受歡迎。故選D。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段中的“Pink was the only color which could be used at the time, and Dubble Bubble has remained pink ever since.”粉紅色是當(dāng)時(shí)唯一可以使用的顏色，Dubble Bubble從那時(shí)起一直保持粉紅色?？芍?dāng)Dubble Bubble被發(fā)明出來(lái)的時(shí)候，它的特別之處是它是粉色的。故選A。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第三段中的“A history of bubblegum just wouldn39。t be plete without mentioning the gumball machine, which popularized gum. The first gumball machine came onto the scene in 1907 and sold sugarcoated chewing gum.”泡泡糖的歷史如果不提到普及了泡泡糖的口香糖機(jī)就不完整了。1907年，第一臺(tái)口香糖機(jī)問(wèn)世，并開(kāi)始銷(xiāo)售涂了糖衣的口香糖。以及文章的主要內(nèi)容是圍繞著泡泡糖的歷史展開(kāi)，可知本文主要介紹泡泡糖的歷史。故選B。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇文化類(lèi)閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 An earthquake is one of the most mon natural disasters. It may cause great damage. So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members. Fragile items like those made of glass are easily broken and should usually be placed on a lower surface, near the ground instead of placing them in the cupboards higher up. Never place them near your bed, sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying down. When there is a strong movement, these pieces will fall on the floor directly and not on you. There is a strong chance of short circuits (短路) and fire during an earthquake. Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens. During an earthquake, lie beneath an object that is not easily damaged. Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you. Never use the elevator to go down. Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out. Use the staircases at all times. If you are outdoors, do not take shelter under a tree, streetlights, electric poles or tall buildings. If you are driving, stop your car and stay in a safe place. Do not park your car under a tree or any tall object. If trapped in debris (瓦礫堆), cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. Tap on a pipe or the wall so that rescuers (營(yíng)救人員) can find you. Use a whistle (哨子) if one is available. Never shout for help. Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous amounts of dust. Do not light a match because you may burn yourself. Do not move about or kick up dust.（1）The purpose of the passage is to tell readers . to do in earthquakes to prevent earthquakes damage caused by earthquakes rescue work after earthquakes
