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(jié)構(gòu)“the debt we owe Cousteau”呼應(yīng) ), 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(yīng)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.
    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(guān)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.(該句揭示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(nèi)容直接揭示A錯誤。And now that his voice of the ocean is silenced,we feel very sad.
