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
答案及解析：
1．文章主题分析：Cousteau remembered
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．
从上面的划线句可以看出：Cousteau是一个对工程学影响很大的一个科学家（专家）。
1． 直接解题：
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：借助前面对于文章标题的理解判断D不是答案，A和C在用词上有关系，因此重点注意A和C，借助A和C中出现的核心词scientist（science）和engineer（engineering）作为答案线索，注意题干中的修饰词great，这样发现答案相关句：
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．该句揭示C是答案。
2．From the second paragraph，we know that
A)Cousteau did not like any scientific definitions．
B)Cousteau wrote many adventure—filled stories．
C)Cousteau’s main job was protecting environment．
D)Cousteau’s contributions were not limited to science and engineering．
2．D． 分析：借助对上题的解答判断C不是答案，而A说的太绝对，可能也不是答案。借助B中的核心词adventure—filled stories和D中的contributions作为答案线索，这样找到答案相关句：
Throughout his adventure—filled life，Cousteau challenged definitions（该句与B不一致）．Yes，he was a captain in the French Navy，and early on，a filmmaker and natural storyteller．Later，he became a famous ocean explorer，designer of underwater equipment，expedition leader，author，speaker, businessman， environmentalist（虽然出现了“环境学家”，但“环境学家”只是他的诸多头衔中的一个，因此C错误。），teacher and leader of an influential organization (the Cousteau Society)． 从该划线句中可以看出D是答案：他的贡献不只局限于科学和工程学。
