答案解析

P2

1. B。由第2段中第一句话描述了暑假很多游客到名校游览，清华一天就接待了6000人。第二句说明了游客的主力是家长和学生。可知第二段就是为了说明名校成了暑期新的出游地。

2. C。由第4段中 “because people who come at 6 o’clock may be too late and can only enter in the afternoon ”可知。

3. D。由第5段句子 “This is not only for Chinese universities.” 可知，因为中国大学面临的就是暑假游客多的情况。而且下文中也着重写了牛津校园中因暑期游客多而出现的一些状况。

4. C。由最后三段文字描述可知，家长期望孩子长大后可以进入名校学习，所以，利用暑假带孩子感受名校，以期激励孩子在今后的学习中更加努力。

P3

1. C。 由本段前一句 “Adam Tilley, told us about Kimbriki’s history. Kimbriki was beside a beautiful lake.” 可知，后来处理垃圾的地方不够用，Kimbriki就成了一个填埋场。

2. B。由第4段 “not broken, like recyclable things ”可知，broken是用来描述可回收物品的。而A选项中二手的是解释“used”。  

3. A。第3段描述说，“People use bacteria to turn it into soil.” B选项只是节约的方法，而不是废弃物的回收利用。C不对，原文中 “they use the gases to produce energy for machines.” 是说用废弃而生产能量，而不是直接被拿来用做能量。

4. B。最后1段描述说，“we each must think of ways to reduce our own waste on Earth.” 所以，作者是想通过让大家理解垃圾处理来认识到每个人的责任。

P4

1. D。 由第3段中 “you would have to think about the joke to understand it.” 句子可知。

2. B。 由第4段 “It probably won’t be said with a laugh or a smile and will be said when you least expect it.” 句中“不会笑着说”和“在人最不经意的时候说”可知。

3. C。 由第5段 “Telling jokes can help people to overcome their differences.” 可知。

4. A。从全文结构看，文章先讲了英式幽默又介绍了美式幽默，所以，重点是表达英美两国幽默的不同。
