语篇解读
本文主要介绍了在过去没有其他快捷的通讯方式的情况下,信鸽起到的巨大作用。
比如,两次世界大战期间,信鸽成为传递信息的主要途径。
另外,文章还列举了几个著名的信鸽的事迹。
1.D推理判断题。
文章里列举了一些具体时段里信鸽起到的重要作用,比如1815年时Rothschild利用信鸽提供的信息变成富翁、第一次世界大战和第二次世界大战期间信鸽传递信息救助士兵等。
由此可推知,D项正确
2.C词义猜测题。
第二段讲述的是英法战争期间,多数人认为英国要失败了,因此政府债券价格大跌,很多人绝望地抛售政府债券,而Rothschild偷偷地收购这些债券。
Snapup意为“抢购”,只有C项有“购进”的意思。
3.B推理判断题。
根据第六段第一句“Carrierpigeonsareaslightlydifferentbreedfromthekindofpigeonyouseeoncitystreets.”可知,信鸽和普通的鸽子是不同的。
由此可以推断出,不是所有的鸽子都可以作为信鸽的。
故答案选B。
4.B推理判断题。
根据第三段最后一句“InWorldWarⅡ…USPigeonService.”可知,二战期间,美国有关机构有3000多名士兵和150多名官员专门负责照顾和培训信鸽用来为战争服务。
由此可以推断出,信鸽需要专业训练才能更好地传递信息。
故答案选B。
