13、 slowly, if metal is heated and then cooled very quickly, for example by dipping(浸) it in water, it will be very hard but also very brittle(脆)that is, it will break easily. Metal that has been annealed is soft but does not breaks as easily. It is possible to make metal as hard or as soft as is wishe
14、d, by annealing it. The metal is heated, and allowed to cool slowly for a certain length of time. The longer the heated metal takes to cool slowly, the softer it becomes. Annealing can also be used on other material, such as glass.1. Annealing can make metal _A. hard and tough(韧)B. hard but brittleC
15、. soft but toughD. soft and brittle解析：此题属词句意义理解题。文章第一句“Annealing is a way of making metal sofer”。第三句“Metal that has been annealed is soft but does not break as easily”其中“does not break as easily”的意思就是“tough”因此C项符合要求。A和D两面中均有一方面与上文不符。B中两方面均不符。因此都被排除。C为正确答案。 答案:C2. Why do people put hot metal in water
16、?A. To make it hard.B. To make it soft.C. To make it cool.D. To make it brittle解析：本题属推断归纳题。文中第一句：”if metal is heated and then cooled very quickly, for example by dipping it in water, it will be very hard but also very brittle”.意思是说如果把金属加热，然后迅速放到水里冷却，也就会变得非常硬，但也变得脆。“bald”是工艺的主观目的。“brittle”是伴随的客观结果。因此
17、选A而不选D,B项与题目不符:C项是手段不是目的。因此，都可被排除。A为正确答案。答案:A3. In annealing, the required hardness of a metal depends on _A. the quantity of water usedB. the temperature of the metalC. the softness of the metalD. the timing of the operation解析:此题属概括归纳题。timing是时间的选择。本答案的依据是5和6两句，“The metal is heated， length of time”
18、“The longerthe softer it becomes”，“。cool”的时间是可以控制的，时间越长就越“soft”，即硬度就越低。由此我们可得出结论：在退火过程中，金属的硬度是受到冷却的时间长短影响的。文章中没有提到退火时使用的水的数量，没有提到金属的温度，也没有提及金属的软度。因此这三答案均被排除。D为正确答案。答案:D4. As suggested by the text, how can glass be made less brittle?A. It can be heated and then cooled quickly.B. It can be cooled and
19、then heated slowly.C. It can be heated and then cooled slowly.D. It can be cooled and then heated quickly.解析:此题属推理判断题。文中最后一句说“Annealing can also be used on other materials ,such as glass.”很明显退火这工艺同样可用于象玻璃一类的其他材料。文中我们已知“annealing”就是先“heat”后“。cool slowly”由此推断C是正确的。A项中“Cooled quickly”不符合上述工艺要求。B和C工艺程序都
20、不对。因此，A、B、D三项被排除。C为正确答案. 答案:C本题是90年MET阅读理解的第二篇短文。标题Annealing属于生词，但没有注出。很明显，命题人想要考生自己通过阅读来猜测其词义是什么。实际上就是一个变相的词义猜测题。如果考生通过阅读全文能猜出其词义为“退火”，那么，后面的几个测试题便不难作出了。(B)In the 19th century England people liked to go to the seaside. In those days, ladies wore long bathing dresses, and men wore bathing suits. Wom
21、en did not walk about on the beach in their bathing dresses. They hired a bathing machine. A bathing machine was used for changing in, and for taking the bather down to the sea.

23、ho used the bathing machine?A. Women bathers.B. Both men and women bathers.C. Bathers who couldnt swim. D. Bathers who couldnt walk.解析:是细节理解题。短文第三、四两句这样交代：Women did not walk about on the beach in their bathing dresses. They hired a bathing machine.（妇女们不穿她们浴用连衣裙在沙滩上步行。他们租用一台洗浴机。）从此可知使用洗浴机的人就是洗浴的妇女。故A
24、是正确的答案。答案:A2. A bathing machine was mainly used forA. giving the bather a pleasure ride on the beachB. giving the bather some exercise before getting into the waterC. protecting the bather from catching cold from the sea windD. protecting the bather from being seen in bathing dress out of water解析:仍是
25、细节理解题。文章第五句说上A bathing machine was used for changing in（洗浴机被用来更换服装）显然，在这个机器里更衣是为使洗澡人在下水之前不被人看见了。答案:D3. In the 19th century people who used the bathing machine usually did the following things. Which is the right order for doing them?a. Changing into bathing clothesb. Getting out of the bathing machi
26、ne c. Paying 2 penced. Getting into the bathing machine e. Being taken down the beachf. Getting into the waterA. e,d,a,b,f,cB. c,d,a,e,b,fC. c,d,e,a,b,fD. d,a,e,b,f,c解析:仍是细节理解题，只是要与整篇文章所提供的活动顺序联系起来，其活动的顺序正是第3题检测的内容：付钱、租车、换衣、去沙滩、出洗浴机、下水。所以B项是正确的答案。 答案:B这是96年NMET第四篇短文，是介绍英国民间风俗的文章：十九世纪英国妇女游泳的情况。( C )J
27、INTAN,JTANGSU:The 20 students 18 boys and 2 girls had a thousand reasons to be proud of themselves.

This news story is mainly about .A. when the contest startedB. how the contest got its nameC. the 20 pupils who have won gold medals in the
30、 contestD. the 5th National Hua Luogeng Gold Cup Mathematics Contest解析:是归纳概括题。A、B两项只是具体事实,C项虽提到了20个获奖者，但也不包括文章内容的全部，只有D项能概括全文主旨大意。 答案:D2. This news story most probably appeared in a news paper in .A.1995B. 1987C. 1986D. 1997解析：属于细节理解题。从最后一段加the contest started in 1986（竞赛始于1986年），再看 in less than 10 years, it has been recognized （在不到10年时间里，它已被承认为）可以断定C项（1986）是正确选项。
