答案解析

News 2

21. B推理题。新闻中没有我们常常习惯听到的“这里是XXX从XXX发回的报道”， 那么我们要注意新闻报道中一些的细微之处。本段新闻中有一句话对我们很有帮 助，尤其其中使用了“here”一词，而在结尾谈到预计众多球迷将在首都广场看球，所 以综合以上信息，最佳的答案应该是B项。

22. B判断题。本题的难度不大，是简单地对原文中的意思的复现，但是需要稍加注 意的是，题目和选项中都使用同义替换的方式把某些关键的词做了改动，但是不影 响原来意思的表达。所以据“这使得两国成为了足球竞争的对手，因此在这儿有很 多人都因为俄罗斯丢掉了进军世界杯的资格而高兴”。可知B项是正确答案。
