24、A 。短文中沒有主題句，通過仔細閱讀全文，從例證關系來分析，本文的主題思想應歸納為：People enjoy different kinds of recreation. 因此，A為正確答案。2. A 。上面這段話的主題句位于本段的中間：The flood of cheaper foreign cars has not cost American autoworkers their jobs as some experts expected. 據此，此題的正確答案應為A.。3. C。四項選擇中A項和D項內容太具體，不能概括段落的主旨思想。B項內容又太籠統，超出了作者的原意。只有C項才準確地概括

25、出段落的主旨思想。4. D 。這一篇短文前幾句只講述了具體情況，均不具備主題句的特征，只有最后一句話是概括性的、總結性的，因此本段的最后一句是主題句，故正確答案是D。5. D這是一篇報道，文章的第一段只有兩句話：“20個學生(2女18男)有充分的理由為自己感到自豪，因為他們奪得了第五屆華羅庚杯數學競賽的金獎，是4百萬參賽學生中的佼佼者”，下文接著對競賽的有關情況進行報道，因此，第一段實際上就是這篇報道的主題句。A、B、C分別只包含了報道的部分信息，顯然不合題意；D選項與主題句的意思完全一致，因此是正確答案。II. D。文章以月球人的問題Why are you traveling to oute

26、r space when you dont even use your inner space? 引起話題，接著講敘了人類目前對地下空間的利用現狀，結尾以地下空間開發的支持者的話點題 building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earths space。A選項只是本文話題的部分意思，不是主要話題；B選項與文章的意思無關；文章主要是講地下空間的開發利用，而不是講如何享受地下生活，因此C選項與文章的主題也無關；D選項符合文章的主要內容，與主題句的意思一致，因此，是該題的正確答案。單詞百寶箱brew n. 調制,釀造H
