【答案解析】
本文通过讲述两个对手城市的报纸对同一件火灾事故的不同报道，对新闻报道的真实性提出了质疑。
1. C。主旨题。从主题句It is never easy to find out the exact truth about an accident.可得出答案。
2. B。细节题。根据There was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel last August及两张报纸都报道了火灾是在晚上发生的，故可以确定的事实只有两项a和 d。而其他选项都只是两份报纸的片面之辞，到度是真是假，我们无法得知，因此答案为B。
3. A。推断题。ANOTHER BELDON HOTEL CATCHES FIRE中ANOTHER是个关键词，它暗示了Beldon宾馆频繁发生的火灾。
4. C。细节题。The Canfield Times 报道说Last night Beldon firemen arrived just too late to save clothing, bedclothes and some furniture at the Seabreeze Hotel.，而The Beldon Post则说消防队员及时把这场小火扑灭了，（没有造成损失），两者报道相反。可此题答案为C。
(7)
Jack used to curse(咒骂) the front yard as if it were a living thing. He was the man who lived with my grandmother for thirty years. He was not my grandfather, but an Italian who came down the road one day, selling fruit in Florida.
Jack stopped at my grandmother’s house to sell her some oranges just a stone’s throw from downtown Miami, and he was delivering her whiskey a week later. He stayed for thirty years. Jack hated the front yard because he thought it was against him. There had been a beautiful lawn(草坪) there when Jack came along, but he let it wander off into nothing. He refused to water it or take care of it in any way.
Now the ground was so hard that it gave his car flat tires(轮胎) in the summer. The yard was always finding a nail to put in one of his tires or the car as always sinking out of sight in the winter when the rains came on. The lawn had belonged to my grandfather, who lived out the end of his life in an insane hospital. It had been his pride and joy and was said to be the place where his powers came.
1. It can be inferred that the real reason Jack had problems with the yard was that _______.
A. he didn’t like the lawn.
B. the author’s grandfather was against Jack working on the lawn
C. the lawn was full of living things
D. he himself did not take care of the lawn
2. We can learn from the passage that when the lawn belonged to the author’s grandfather, it had been _______.
A. beautifulB. worn outC. wastedD. full of nails
3. What do we know about Jack and the author’s grandfather?
A. They both hated the front lawn.
B. Jack was jealous of the author’s grandfather.
C. They sold fruit in Florida.
D. They came from Italy and lived together.
【答案解析】
Jack为什么曾经指桑骂槐，因为他嫉妒我祖父。我祖父曾把前花园弄得很漂亮。
1. D。判断题。从第2段最后一句话He refused to water it or take care of it in any way. 可以判断。
