分析 文是說明文題材.在文中作者詳細介紹了地鐵站的一些信息.比如每位成年人持票可以攜帶兩名五歲以下兒童乘坐地鐵;Farecard的購買和使用情況;車票的價格;此處,作者還介紹了一些服務部門的電話號碼以方便乘客的需要.
解答 21.D 考查細節(jié)理解.根據(jù)Metrorall (地鐵)部分第二段內(nèi)容there are no change machines in the stations and farecard machines only provide up to $5 in change.可知自動售卡機只能最多找5美元的零錢,故答案選D.易錯選項為A,文中的 Use it after 9:30 a,m.until closing on weekdays是使用farecard的時間,而不是farecard machines售票的時間.
22.A 考查細節(jié)理解.根據(jù)Hours of service的介紹部分 Close midnight Sun-Thurs.;3a.m.Sat-Sun可知在周末停運時間是凌晨3點,故答案選A.
23.D 考查細節(jié)理解.根據(jù)第三部分對Metrobus的介紹When paying with exact charge,the fare is $1.35.When paying with a SmarTrip?card,the fare is 1.25.可知如果使用SmarTrip?card的話,乘客可以節(jié)省0.1美元,故答案選D.
24.D 考查細節(jié)理解.根據(jù)文章末段內(nèi)容If you lose something on a bus or train or in a station,please call Lost &Found at 202-962-1195,可知如果乘客丟失物品的話可以撥打失物招領處的電話202-962-1195,故答案選D.
點評 本文考查細節(jié)題為主,細節(jié)題可以在文章中直接找到與答案有關的信息?或是其變體.搜查信息在閱讀中非常重要它包括理解作者在敘述某事時使用的具體事實、數(shù)據(jù)、圖表等細節(jié)信息.在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都屬于這類圍繞主體展開的細節(jié).做這類題一般采用尋讀法?即先讀題,然后帶著問題快速閱讀短文,找出與問題有關的詞語或句子,再對相關部分進行分析對比,找出答案.
