3 A hundred years ago many kids died at an early age.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
A分析:题干中有两个较明确的细节信息,因此考虑把题干内容分成2层:A hundred years ago many kids died + (died) at an early age;借助题干中的特征结构A hundred years ago 和kids作为答案线索,这样发现答案相关句:
But in order that we don’t slip back into bad habits,let’s have a look at what life was like 100 years ago.
Families had between 1 5 and 20 children,although many babies didn’t live long.(借助划线句的句意判断信息1和信息2均正确:首先该句前面说“我们来看看1百年以前生活是什么样子的”,在该句中(以过去时态出现)又直接提到“许多孩子寿命短”。)
4 Poor diets can lead to such diseases as rickets and scurvy.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
A.分析:题干中的信息直接相关,考虑把题干内容看成1层信息,利用题干中出现的特征词rickets and scurvy作为答案线索,这样直接找到答案相关句:

5 People in the past preferred standing up to lying down when sleeping
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
B.分析:根据常识判断该句说法不符合常理,也很可能是错误的。可以把题干内容看成2层信息:People in the past preferred standing up to lying down + when sleeping。借助题干中的核心词:standing up, lying down 和sleeping作为答案线索,这样直接找到答案相关句:
Really poor families who lived in crowded cities like London and Manchester often slept standing up, bending over a piece of string,(弯腰靠在一根绳子上)because there was no room for them to lie down.(借助该句意可以看出:原文中说的是“过去人们站着睡觉是因为没有地方让他们躺下”,而不是人们喜欢这样)
e.g. He is standing there looking out of the window.
e.g. He came home (looking) so exhausted.
6 An Englishman invented the fridge in the 1920s.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
C.分析:可以把题干内容看成2层信息:An Englishman invented the fridge + in the 1920s。借助题干中的核心词:fridge 和特征词1920s 作为答案线索,这样直接找到答案相关句:
People didn’t have fridges until the 1920s.(只有这一句提到了冰箱,但并没有说是“谁”在“什么时候”发明的)They kept fresh food cold by storing it on windowsills(窗台板),blocks of ice,or even burying it in the garden.
7 Life was not easy for many children living 1 00 years ago.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
A.分析:题干信息较单一,因此直接把题干内容看成1层信息,借助题干中的特征词1 00 years ago作为答案线索,这样发现答案相关句:
Some children had to start work at the age of seven or eight to earn money for their parents.
If you had lived 100 years ago,you might well be selling matchsticks(火柴杆)(a job done by many children)or working with your dad by now.(从该句句意中能推断出问题句的内容“生活在100年以前的孩子活的不容易”)
