    從上面的劃線句可以看出:Cousteau是一個對工程學影響很大的一個科學家(專家)。
    1. 直接解題:
    1.According to the passage,Cousteau’s influence is great because he
     A)was both a scientist and an engineer.
     B)invented Skylab.
     C)made contributions to science and engineering.
     D)was a captain in the French Navy.
    1. C。分析:借助前面對于文章標題的理解判斷D不是答案,A和C在用詞上有關系,因此重點注意A和C,借助A和C中出現(xiàn)的核心詞scientist(science)和engineer(engineering)作為答案線索,注意題干中的修飾詞great,這樣發(fā)現(xiàn)答案相關句:
    Jacques-Ives Cousteau died in Paris on 26 June,1997 at the age of 87.His influence is great.Scientists respected his creative engineering;engineers praised his science.Cousteau,who claimed to be neither scientist nor engineer,contributed significantly to both disciplines—and to many more.該句揭示C是答案。

     B)ocean and ocean pollution.
     C)making films and television programs.來源:考試大
     D)writing encounters (遭遇)with sea animals,such as sharks.
    3. B. 分析:問題問及main concern(主要的關注內容), 利用該詞作為答案線索,同時注意被選項中出現(xiàn)的核心詞/特征詞,這樣發(fā)現(xiàn)答案相關句:
    A11 who care about the sea—and even those who don’t think much about the ocean one way or another一owe Cousteau a tremendous debt. The knowledge gained as a consequence of his direct contributions, and the strong others,have transformed the way the world thinks about the sea.His stories of encounters with sharks and other fish (D)inspired many to go see themselves.Cousteau pioneered ventures in underwater living in the 1960’s:sub—sea labs (A)where scientists submerged for days or weeks...——the underwater labs (A)similar to Skylab or the space station.His films and television programmes (C)won two Academy Rewards,three Emnies,and the hearts and minds of viewers worldwide for decades.
    Showered with honours, Cousteau remarked recently that he thought his most important accomplishment was to make people aware of——and care about——the ocean.(揭示海洋是Cousteau的研究中心)Thanks to him, we grew concerned about our growing population and the consequences of overfishing and ocean pollution that threaten the health of the sea,and we were inspired to do something to improve the way things are done.該句暗示海洋污染也是Cousteau的研究內容,所以判斷答案是B。
    4.What debt do we owe Cousteau according to Paragraphs 3 and 4?
     A)His work has made us realize we should improve the way things are done.
     B)His contributions have pushed science toward a higher stage of development.
     c)His invention of sub-sea labs has made ocean exploration easier.
     D)His adventures have made people go and see the sea.
    4.A. 分析:該句問“Cousteau 對我們作出了什么貢獻”,借助句子中出現(xiàn)的debt 和owe作為答案線索,并注意被選項中出現(xiàn)的核心結構,這樣發(fā)現(xiàn)答案相關句:
    A11 who care about the sea—and even those who don’t think much about the ocean one way or another一owe Cousteau a tremendous debt. The knowledge gained as a consequence of his direct contributions, and the strong others,have transformed the way the world thinks about the sea.(該句只說Cousteau的貢獻是改變了人們對海洋的看法。)His stories of encounters with sharks and other fish inspired many to go see themselves.Cousteau pioneered ventures in underwater living in the 1960’s:sub—sea labs where scientists submerged for days or weeks...——the underwater labs similar to Skylab or the space station.His films and television programmes won two Academy Rewards,three Emnies,and the hearts and minds of viewers worldwide for decades.
     Showered with honours.Cousteau remarked recently that he thought his most important accomplishment was to make people aware of——and care about——the ocean.Thanks to him( 與題干的結構“the debt we owe Cousteau”呼應 ), we grew concerned about our growing population and the consequences of overfishing and ocean pollution that threaten the health of the sea,and we were inspired to do something to improve the way things are done.該句揭示答案應該是A。
     5.Which of the following statements about Cousteau’s family life is NOT true?
     A)His second wife died sometime ago。
     B)His son Phillippe was killed in a plane crash.來源:考試大
     C)His first wife died before Cousteau.
     D)His elder son became the spokesman for the sea
    5. A。分析:發(fā)現(xiàn)A和C都提到了他的妻子,所以首先看A和C,并利用wife作為答案線索,這樣找到答案相關句:
    We shared the sad feeling with Cousteau when Simone,his wife and partner for many years, died and when his son Phillippe was killed in a plane crash.(該句B正確。)We shared his joy when Jean—Michael,his eldest son.became an explorer and a spokesman for the sea in his own right.We were happy for Cousteau when he began a new family with his second wife,F(xiàn)racine.該句內容直接揭示A錯誤。B正確And now that his voice of the ocean is silenced,we feel very sad.
