    【答案与解析】：
    1.【答案】B
    【解析】先找有关细节，解题的关键在第四句，意为“游击队员要求释放关在以色列监狱里的200多名巴勒斯坦人并安全离开德国”。这样，我们就可以来分析选项了。a项说“因为以色列运动员和游击队有冲突。”这是事实，因为文章讲的就是，但这不是原因，故不能选。再看b项“阿拉伯游击队意在营救被关押在以色列监狱中的巴勒斯坦人”，属实，现在看c、d项是否更确切。c项说“德国政府憎恨以色列人”，风马牛不相及。而d项“阿拉伯游击队想要一大笔钱”，显然也不是他们的目的。现在就可确定b为正确答案无疑。
    2.【答案】B
    【解析】根据第七句可知，奥运会赛事被中止。这不正意味着当时奥运会正在进行吗?这样，我们就可以来对选项进行取舍了。a项“结束了”，显然不对。c项“即将结束”虽然也有正在进行之意，但概括得又太具体，所以也不能选。而d项“即将发生”，更不对。这样就只剩下b项，其意为“正在进行”，正是作者的隐含看法，所以正确无疑。
    3.【答案】C
    【解析】根据选项，结合问题，可知选项涉及到国名。再看原文，发现第10句是关键句：恐怖分子被告知飞往某一个阿拉伯国家。特别注意“阿拉伯国家”五个字。好了，现在我们就可以来分析选项了。去掉不属于阿拉伯国家的选项，就可以得出正确答案。a项“意大利”，b项“印度”，d项“尼日利亚”，都不属于阿拉伯国家。这样就只剩下c项，而“叙利亚”正好属于阿拉伯国家。从此题的选择过程中，我们可以体会到，多掌握一些英语背景知识如地理的、文化的、历史的等等，对提高学习成绩很有帮助。
    4.【答案】B
    【解析】此题涉及到数字，要考虑到有可能进行简单计算。先找有关细节。根据倒数第三句和第二句可以知道：(在警察实施营救时)
4个阿拉伯人被击毙，3个被捕，1个逃跑，所以有4+3+1=8个。这样就可以一目了然地找到正确答案为b。d为干扰性较强的选项。注意在解答此类题时不要遗漏数字。
    5.【答案】A
    【解析】解答此题应具有一定的逻辑推理能力。通读全文，可知阿拉伯国家
(以巴勒斯坦为代表)与以色列关系紧张。a项说“他们将可能挑起另一次冲突”，与们的分析及作者的暗示相吻合。再看还有没有更合适的选项，b项说“他们将可能开始谈判”有点可能，但既然以色列刚报复过，阿拉伯、巴勒斯坦会就此罢休吗?所以与a相比，应排除。再看c项“他们将尽量改善彼此的关系”也不合事实。而d项“他们将诉诸于联合国”，可能性也不大。所以可断定a为正确答案无疑。
