【正文】 ut what would you expect for buildings that are five and a half thousand years old. My house was built in the year 2000 and is already in bad condition round the edges. These temples are older than the pyramids! In my opinion the temples are best seen after the visitors have left. Come with me for a late afternoon walk down the hill past Hagar Qim towards the Mnajdra Complex. There are chain link fences around the temples now but we can ignore those and try to image why Maltas earliest people went to the trouble of building these structures on this windy and poor hillside. Of course the temples would have looked rather different when they were constructed. They may have been decorated with pigments and possibly even roofed with animal skins or other materials. Who knows? We do know that they were changed and added to over a 1,000 year period or so. Getting to Mnajdra and Hagar Qim is easiest if you have a car. Or if you don39。t mind a hike, you could get a bus to Qrendi(3 km away) or Zurrieq (5 km away) and walk from there. Warning: although the distances are not too great, walking several kilometers in the Maltese sun can be very hard and possibly dangerous.

We do know that they were changed and added to over a 1,000 year period or 。根據(jù)第二段的We do know that they were changed and added to over a 1,000 year period or so. 可知我們知道在過去的1000多年它們被改變過，被擴(kuò)建過，即現(xiàn)在的寺廟不再是它們以前的樣子了。題干What are we aware of about the construction of the temples? 文章內(nèi)容We do know that they were changed and added to over a 1,000 year period or sochanged and added to over a 1,000 year period or so.? D 選項(xiàng)They are not what they used to 。（3）推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段可知，去那兒可以開車很容易。如果不介意走一會(huì)的話，你可以乘公共汽車到Qrendi（3公里）或Zurrieq（5公里），然后從那里步行。當(dāng)然，盡管路途不遠(yuǎn)，在馬爾他陽光下行走數(shù)公里可能非常困難，也可能是危險(xiǎn)的。要喝水和涂防曬霜。分析開車直接去幾乎不用曬太陽，故B正確 。選項(xiàng)A、D都要走路，會(huì)曬傷，文中說要多喝水，而非帶水就不會(huì)曬傷，C錯(cuò)誤。因此B符合題合題意。（4）推理判斷題。本文主要對(duì)了馬耳他群島的風(fēng)景點(diǎn)作了簡(jiǎn)單的介紹，所以文章應(yīng)該出出在旅游雜志上。故答案選C?！军c(diǎn)評(píng)】推理題的解題方法1. 抓住特定信息進(jìn)行逆向或正向推理。2. 整合全文（段）信息進(jìn)行推斷。3. 利用語境的褒貶性進(jìn)行信息推斷。 4. 根據(jù)文章的結(jié)論推斷作者的態(tài)度。5. 根據(jù)上下文的邏輯得出結(jié)論。 6. 結(jié)合已有的知識(shí)進(jìn)行推斷。8．閱讀理解 Do you have a spare room in your house? What about a driveway for your car? Both of these can help you make money. Many people who are feeling the pinch are taking advantage of what39。s been called the “sharing economy”. Perhaps the bestknown example of a pany in this field is Airbnban American web business which allows you to rent out your spare room to holidaymakers. It says it operates in 34,000 cities and it has over 1,500,000 seems to have concerned the market! A British pany is doing something with parking spaces. JustPark39。s founder, Anthony Eskinazi, says,“When I had the original idea, Ispotted a driveway close to a sports stadium. It would have been so convenient if I could have just parked in that driveway rather than in mercial car park.” And he has a big clientele（客戶）:around 20,000 people have advertised their spaces on the site, and he says around half a million drivers use it. There are other sites doing very similar things, like Uber and Lyftthese let drivers share their cars with other passengers. Any driver knows how valuable a place to park is .A church near Kings Cross in central London has apparently made over 163。200,000 by renting out space in its yard to travelers! Because this is a new business world, those rules aren39。t there yet and many people are happy to share...as long as it pays! But the sharing economy has its critics: the petitors of these new panies. People who run things like traditional Bamp。B, mercial car parks and taxi services are afraid of ending up out of pocket. And there is another issue: regulations on these new business are unclear. How will renting out your driveway affect your neighbor?（1）What does the underlined phrase “feeling the pinch” probably mean? A.Lacking in moneyB.Full of curiosityC.Willing to help othersD.Unsatisfied with their life（2）Who may be against the sharing economy? A.A taxi driver who can39。t find a parking placeB.A priest in the church near Kings CrossC.A traveller who needs acodiationD.A wellknown highend holiday hotel（3）Why are many people pleased to share according to paragraph 4? A.They can gain huge profitsB.They needn39。t pay any feeC.There are few rules to limit themD.The new business has no risks（4）Which of the following words can best describe
