答案
小题1:C
小题2:A
小题3:C
小题4:C
小题5:A
解析
小题1:细节理解题。首先要认真把握题目中的“extra” 额外的；另外的；多余的, 就不难根据第一段中hit a fuel storage tank at Sao Paulo's Congonhas airport得出答案为C。
小题2:段落大意题。开门见山，直奔主题----是新闻报道的特点之一，认真理解首段可知这则新闻的网概要应该为A项。（人物、地点、事件三者齐全）
小题3:正误判断题。由第三则新闻第一段中“with 114 people on board”可知飞机上共有114人,其中应该包括机组人员, 所以乘客的数量应该少于114, 故C项表述错误,为正确答案。其他三项文中均有明确表述。
小题4:细节理解题。由第一则新闻可知，200人在这次空难中丧生，170名乘客，6名机组人员，地面遇难人数应为24人。
小题5:推理判断题。由第一则新闻第二段中“… and slid off the wet runway.” 可以推断出此时很可能天在下大雨, 跑道潮湿, 地面滑。故A项为正确答案。B项与第二则新闻中的The pilot, Jim LeRoy, was taken to Miami Valley Hospital and was announced dead.不符；C、D两项分别可以从第二则和第三则新闻中找到明确表述，无需推断，不符合题目要求。
考点
据考高分专家说，试题“◆200 dead as Brazili.....”主要考查你对 [新闻报道类阅读 ]考点的理解。新闻报道类阅读
新闻报道类阅读的概念：
阅读理解的选材明显地呈现出关注实际生活的趋势，这种趋势与当前基础教育改革的目标是一致的，而中学生学习语言的根本目标与基础教育学会求知，学会做事，学会合作，学会做人的目标是一致的，真实新颖的选材对基础英语教学课程改革具有重要的反作用。
新闻报道类阅读理解技巧点拨：
新闻报道类类文章有一共同特点，即都是由标题（Headline）、导语（Lead）、主体（Mainbody）、背景（Background）和结尾（End）五部分构成。标题是新闻报道中心思想高度而又精辟的概括；导语位于新闻报道的首段，高度概括新闻事实；主体则对导语概括的新闻事实进行详细叙述；新闻背景是指新闻事实之外，对新闻事实或新闻事实的某个部分进行解释或补充的材料；结尾往往是新闻事件的结果或动态展望，也是中心思想的概括并常常与新闻导语相呼应。
新闻报道中的导语非常重要，它位于文章的第一段，通过它点出新闻的主题，五个W和一个H(When,Where,Who,What,Why和How)通常是构成一则完整消息不可缺少的要素。文章往往呈现出“倒金字塔”的特征，因此读懂首句或首段至关重要。
另外，从句的使用也是此类文章的一大语言特色，因为从句信息量大，适合新闻报道的要求。此外，大量的副词和插入语的使用也是此类文章的特点。为使文章更客观、更具信服力，常用The study said…, Scientists believe that…Experts said…, It's reported that…, According to the survey…等语言。同事在阅读过程中，我们要对材料所提供信息如when, where, who, how, why等进行提问，将信息迅速提炼出来。

1、反映海内外事件，文章结构严谨，内容贴近生活，用现代英语反映现代生活。
2、如果是新闻报道，都有比较固定的写作格式，如文首通常有报道的地点或时间，第一句话常常是文章的导语，有助于了解文章的大致内容和主题。
3、如果是新闻报道则是记叙文，有地点、时间、人物、事物等要素。
4、有许多大量反映当代社会变化的新词汇和表达方式。
5、命题既重细节，又重推理和主旨。
6、大背景中的小事件，大事件中的小插曲往往是选材的热点。
【应试对策】
1、在平时学习中，关注生活，阅读新闻报道和广告类文章、把阅读时事文章作为学习英语的重要途径。
2、了解新的词汇和表达方式。如：tsunami海啸，MP3players(MP3)播放器，well_offsociety小康社会等。
3、抓住文章主题，准确捕捉细节和内涵，进行合理的推理。
4、品味新闻的标题，联系平时所积累的知识，为了解材料大意作铺垫。
5、了解新闻报道的特殊规律，其内容和多含何人、何地、何事、何时等，阅读时要抓住新闻的这一主要特点去理解判断。
6、要注意文中以黑体、大写、下划线等方式加以提示的文字，因为这很有可能是材料的核心或至少是一部分内容的概括。
