分析 本文屬于廣告類閱讀,文章一共介紹了三封信件,主要是UCAS寫給申請人Siobha的信和Duke大學回復給申請人Siobhan以及他回復給大學的信件.

解答 56.B  細節(jié)辨認題.根據(jù)文章中信件B的落款是Siobhan O'Dell和信件C的稱呼是Dear Siobhan判斷應該是C寫給B的,故選B.
57.C  細節(jié)辨認題.根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞Chances for Duke University to change its admission decision知道的文章的對應信件是C,其中的I want to be honest with you and let you know that it's very rare that we learn something that leads us to change our decision,in the last ten years we've about 500 requests for a review…and changed the decision four times可知Duke大學500年來只有四次介紹被拒絕的學生再次申請成功,機會是渺茫的.故選C.
58.A  細節(jié)辨認題.根據(jù)信件A中的Alternatively you may wish to resubmit next year by tying your letter to an owl and hoping for the best.On behalf of UCAS I wish you every success.可知把信放在貓頭鷹上寄給UCAS,是不可能提交申請的,故選A.
59.D  判斷推理題.通讀三封信件,根據(jù)I want to be honest with you and let you know that it's very rare that we learn something that leads us to change our decision,in the last ten years we've about 500 requests for a review…and changed the decision four times.可知Duke大學也可根據(jù)正常程序之外的額外工作而錄取學生,故選D.

點評 做閱讀理解時要快速的瀏覽全文,把握文章主旨大意,帶著問題回到原文,尋找細節(jié)或概括相應的答案,最后要理清作者寫作思路.

18.Wikipedia:The Online Know-It-All
If you want to find out a piece of information about anything,the best place to search for it is Wikipedia.The name"Wikipedia"is from the Hawaiian word wiki,meaning"quick".This online encyclopedia (百科全書) is written by thousands of people around the world.Anyone with Internet access can write,add or make changes to Wikipedia articles if he or she finds it incorrect or not well written.In this way,people who know a lot about a certain subject can write about it even if they are not university professors.But contributions cannot damage Wikipedia because many experienced editors are watching pages and techies (技術(shù)專家) can write editing programs to keep track of or correct bad edits.Where there are disagreements on how to present facts,editors work together to arrive at an article that fairly represents current expert opinion on the subject.
Wikipedia is quite different from paper-based reference sources in important ways.Unlike printed encyclopedias,it is continually created and updated,with articles on historic events appearing within minutes,rather than months or years.
What's more,Wikipedia includes articles written in about 285 languages.This fact makes it one of the few websites on the Internet that are truly international.It was started in 2001 by Larry Sanger and Jimmy Wales,as a free online English-language encyclopedia project.Since its creation,it has grown rapidly into one of the largest reference websites,attracting nearly 500 million unique visitors monthly.There are more than 77,000 active contributors working on more than 22,000,000 articles in different languages.As of today,there are 4,396,866 articles in English.
So,if you are looking for some information,why not try Wikipedia?It's free,multilingual,and informative.
13.According to the passage,what is Wikipedia?A
A.A free website encyclopedia.
B.A computer game.
C.A free encyclopedia in book form.
D.An online university.
14.From the passage we know thatB
A.Wikipedia only charges users a small fee
B.Wikipedia catches a wide audience
C.incorrect editions might do great harm to Wikipedia 
D.it will take long to update the information on Wikipedia
15.Where can we probably read the passage?C
A.In a story book.
B.In a research report.
C.In a science magazine.
D.In a travel brochure.
