Answer 1

1. B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由題目中的關(guān)鍵詞the longest art gallery in the world,可回原文定位于Stockholm,Sweden部分。斯德哥爾摩地鐵被稱為世界上最長(zhǎng)的藝術(shù)陳列館。

2. A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由題目中的關(guān)鍵詞the London Underground,可回原文定位于London'the UK部分。根據(jù)"The London Underground or the Tube is the oldest subway in the world."可知。3. D細(xì)節(jié)理解題，由題目中的關(guān)鍵詞TRUE，可回原文定位于Beijing,China部分，由最后一句可知北京地鐵的一些車站有青花瓷圖片裝飾。根據(jù)New York,the US部分最后一句可知，在紐約地鐵上可以看到人們跳Michael Jackson的舞蹈，而不是看到Michael Jackson跳舞,排除A;根據(jù)London'the UK部分最后一句可知，倫敦地鐵夏天很熱，排除B;根據(jù)Stockholm,Sweden部分最后一句可知，地鐵的裝飾使人們感覺像在巖洞中，而不是建在巖洞中，排除C。

4. C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由題目中的關(guān)鍵詞The introductions of the subways mainly show ,可回原文定位于第一段第二句。地鐵是了解當(dāng)?shù)匚幕�的窗口�?/p>

5. B推理判斷題。地鐵是一種旅行方式，根據(jù)第一段第二句話中的"...for other people to learn about local culture"可以推斷，文章是來(lái)自一本旅行雜志。
