1.[A]事实细节题。选项A与文章第1段第2句所述一致,为正确答案。此类题可采用排除法。根据第2段第2句的内容可以知道选项B所指的只是地壳中的一种.而不是所有地壳。选項C与文章第1句的内容不符。选項D的主语应该是地壳和上层的地幔,不仅仅是地壳。
2.[C]推理判断题。此题可定位到第1段倒数第3句。题干中的15plates是原文该句中的宾语,且该句的谓语中心词是consistof(由......组成),题干的谓语是areformedfrom,这意思一致,但题目用的是被动语态。表明答案可从原文该句的主语得到。主语中的top和solid并列修饰partofthemantle。选项C为该句的同义替换,故正确。
3.[C]亊实细节题。选项C是对第1段最后一句的同义改写。文章中没有提到选项A中thecrustsmoveovermantle这种现象;选项B提到的现象在第2段第1句才讨论到,与题干无关;文中也没有提到严重变形的地区是地球的主要地形特征,因此选项D不正确。
4.[A]亊实细节题。第2段主要分成两部分:第一部分谈板块活动的三种形式,第二部分分别举例说明其中在说明spreadingcontacts时,引用了大西洋的例子:"TheAtlanticOceanformedlikethis...",所以答案为A。
5.[C]主旨大意题。由本文的语言风格和描述内容可以判定这篇文章既不是商业性的,也不是文学性的同时文中叙述的内容具有科普性质,不可能是太前沿性的,因此A、B、D三项都不正确,选项C为此题答案。
