5年的时间里)”，而且划线结构说“爱尔兰是2005年世界上最适合居住的地方” ，显然这个内容与问题句的内容不一致，因此判断问题句的说法错误。
三、概括大意答案:
第一步: 分析文章标题A Star Is Born
标题中的星星到底是什么?结合文章开头的句子：
1 The VLT(Very Large Telescope)is the world’s largest telescope(望远镜)and is taking astronomers(天文学家)further back to the Big Bang than they ever thought possible.Located 2,600 meters up to the Chilean Andes，it has four huge mirrors，each about the size of a London bus.The VLT is so powerful it Can spot a burning match 10.000 kilometers away.
文章第一段中没有出现Star这个词，但是根据文章中出现的中文注释：望远镜，天文学家，星系，宇宙(第二段)等词，可以知道文章标题中的Star应该是指宇宙中的某颗星星。从标题内容来看，这篇文章应该是说明文，可能将具体讲述某颗星星的诞生过程。
解题第2步：结合文章主题(文章标题所揭示的内容)分析概括大意被选项之间的关系。
A. Events that took place before the earth existed
B. Power of the telescope
C. Details of Eta Carinae
D. Invention of a time machine
E. Biggest telescope
F Birth of the new worlds
被选项中B和E都涉及到“telescope(望远镜)”，因此推测这两个选项中应该至少有一个是答案(提示：相关选项中通常出答案); F 与文章主题(一颗星星的诞生)呼应，所以成为答案的可能性较大， C中出现了特征词Eta Carinae，所以C在解题中容易被判断。
第3步：直接解题，在解题中注意各种解题技巧的巧妙运用。
A. Events that took place before the earth existed
B. Power of the telescope
C. Details of Eta Carinae
D. Invention of a time machine
E. Biggest telescope
F Birth of the new worlds
1. Paragraph 1 ___.
1 The VLT(Very Large Telescope)is the world’s largest telescope(望远镜)and is taking astronomers(天文学家)further back to the Big Bang than they ever thought possible.Located 2,600 meters up to the Chilean Andes，it has four huge mirrors，each about the size of a London bus.The VLT is so powerful it can spot a burning match 10.000 kilometers away.
1. E. 分析: 段落中VLT(大望远镜)中反复出现(第2句中的代词it也是指VLT), 因此判断VLT是该段核心词, 比较被选项B和E, 判断E是答案(VLT是大望远镜, 段落中也是在强调望远镜的“大”(段落中出现了Large， largest， huge))，因此判断E是答案。
解题线索：利用段落中的核心词直接判断段落主题。
A. Events that took place before the earth existed
B. Power of the telescope
C. Details of Eta Carinae
D. Invention of a time machine
F Birth of the new worlds
2. Paragraph 2 ___.
2 This astonishing power will allow astronomers to see events in space from the birth of stars to the collision(碰撞)of galaxies(星系)on the edge of the cosmos(宇宙).The VLT is giving astronomers their best-ever view of the cosmos.The power of the VLT to see the smallest detail at the furthest distances makes its designers amazed.
2. B。分析：段落中VLT(大望远镜) 和power(能量)反复出现，因此这两个词是该段主题词，因此判断B是答案。
解题线索：利用段落中的核心词直接判断段落主题。
A. Events that took place before the earth existed
C. Details of Eta Carinae
D. Invention of a time machine
F Birth of the new worlds
1.Paragraph 3 ___.
3 Take the case of Eta Carinae，one of the most explosive stars in the universe.This star produces ultraviolet laser rays(紫外线)and it will destroy itself in a few million years’time.It is five times brighter than the sun and when it explodes it is going to be a sight worth waiting for!
3. C。分析：整个段落围绕Eta Carinae进行介绍：段落中的This star和代词it都是指Eta Carinae，因此Eta Carinae是段落的主题词，因此判断C是答案。
解题线索：利用段落中的核心词直接判断段落主题。
A. Events that took place before the earth existed
D. Invention of a time machine
F Birth of the new worlds
2.Paragraph 4 ___.
4But it(it指代前段中的Eta Carinae) is at distances of millions，even billions，of light years that the VLT really shows its power.The VLT can detect light that set out on its journey before the earth even existed.This gives astronomers their first—ever detailed views of events that took place in the earliest days of the cosmos.
4.A. 分析：比较被选项： D
