2017年湖北自考英语（二）真题练习（6）
1、单选题[阅读判断]When our Neolithic ancestors， living in the Middle East about 10，000 years ago， discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer yields the next season， the first great step in a new association of plants and humans was taken.
Q：People living in the Middle East first learned to grow plants for food about 10，000 years ago.
A.True
B.False
C.Not Given
正确答案：A
答案解析：答案选A。利用“10，000”作为答案线索词(因为年代通常是用数字表示)，于是发现有句子提到当生活在约一万年前中东地区的人们发现从某些植物中可以收获粮食，并且播种后下一个收获季节还能产出更多的粮食时，就迈开了植物和人类联系的第1 大步。
2、
单选题
[阅读判断]People living north of the mountain heard a loud boom that shook their windows， and airline pilots flying near the volcano soon afterwards described a thick black column of ash and steam shooting more than 2，100 meters into the sky.
Q： Pilots flying at the height of more than 2，100 meters saw a thick black column of ash and steam shooting up into the air from the crater.
A.True
B.False
C.Not Given
正确答案：B
答案解析：答案选B。该题说的是: 飞行员飞行的高度超过2100米时，看见一个黑色的火山灰和蒸汽从火山口急速上升到空气中。但是，文章中airline pilots flying near the volcano soon afterwards described a thick black column of ash and steam shooting more than 2,100 meters into the sky.说的是靠近火山的地方出现了一个黑色的火山灰和蒸汽上升到空气中，其高度超过2100米。因此该命题是错误的。
